Very Slow wifi...Amongst other problems...Please help

[tallshorty]

Hi,

I just got my Cingular 8525 today and updated to latest ROM version off Wiki. I have been already experiencing some problems. The only plugin I have installed is Wisbar Advance 2. Here are my problems:

1) I have the wifi set to Best Performance but the speed is incredibly slow (the webpage doesn't even seem to be responding)

2) I have been using the pocket pc for over 2 hrs now and the battery still shows 100%? Is this normal or do I have a super battery?

3) Bluetooth audio is poor. I get crackling/muffling sounds. <---This is a major pain. I've searched but I can't find a solution on here. All I can find are fixes for skipping but my audio isn't skipping. I am using the Logitech Freepulse BT 2.0 headphones. Can someone help?


Please help

What is your signal strength????

What is your signal strength????

Full signal strength. I'm using my home wireless. No problems with my Dell Axim X51v.

Make sure that PIE is not using a proxy or going over a data connection. Google should pop up very very fast.

Tried it but still slow...I guess this isn't usual

And it is weird. My Dell Axim X51V with 802.11b has better signal strength than my 8525

Also while we're at it..I am getting poor BT audio streaming. There is crackling/muffling sound. Is there I fix? I thought I read something about poor A2DP quality somewhere.

It's weird, the wifi seems to work and then stop working but after a soft reset it works again.....:confused:

Also, it appears the battery bar goes down 10% at a time?? That is weird.

Correct

Bluetooth audio is poor. I get crackling/muffling sounds. I read there was a fix somewhere but i am having trouble finding it.
Try searching, it has been discussed many many times

It is known the hermes doesnt have the best wireless reception. Nothing you can do about that

I have the wifi set to Best Performance but the speed is incredibly slow (the webpage doesn't even seem to be responding)
Unusual, mine works very fast. It helps to upgrade to 802.11G or even a better Access Point. I have a draytek and a Cisco and the Cisco is 100% better in reception and speed.

Thanks a lot for the help. The wifi appears to be working now. I'll see how it goes from here.

I do have a Wireless G router. I am quite disappointed with the so called 802.11g card on the 8525 since it can't even beat my 802.11b wireless card on my Axim x51v in terms of signal strength. I thought it would be way better.

I agree with you on that. The Hermes has weak wireless and IR. The strength seriously drops when not right up close to my access point.

Just want to bump this back up because I can't resolve the BT audio issue.

Did you solve the wi-fi issue? If not, try ensuring your name servers are set ON the device. Fixed it for me.

Thanks for the advice but the wifi problem somehow cured itself. I don't know what I did but it is working now.

Well that's always helpful, eh? :p
