Bluetooth and WIFI, any news?

---

I am still considering to buy the Prime. Can some tell me if the Bluetooth and WIFI problems are still happening with ICS?
And also,is there a fix for the Serial Numbers issue?
I really wanna get my first tablet, and after I read all the posts here I cant decide to get the Prime or not.

Id like to know if ICS is doing anything at all to poor reception aswell.
Ive got mine fixing to go back because wifi is just stupidly bad.

My Netflix streaming haven't stopped like it did before when paired over Bluetooth but the quality is crappy-to-marginal-to-crappy and hasn't improved better than this yet.

It's HQ to HD without BT paired.

crappy < marginal < HQ < HD

After the upgrade to ICS I am still getting random BT disconnects and my WiFi signal/speed is terrible once I move more then 10 feet from my router.

So thats 2/2 for no significant improvement sofar.
I guess if my dealer offers a refund I'm bailing out.
*sigh* it all looked so nice on paper..

ICS won't help with these issues, it's not a software problem it is the hardware and design that's the probelm.

Im getting beter wifi myself. Havent range tested yet but from my normal spot on the couch speed test went from 17-22 mbs to 35-42!! Which is what my fios is rated for. So seems better to me. Also upstairs seems marginally better as well. Im happy.

There was still a tiny bit of hope on blaming botched honeycomb drivers,
but thats now off the table too, wifi/gps are permanently f*ed..

Mine hits 40 when its 3 ft away from the router, but turns completely useless after one wall or ceiling crosses its path.
From what I understand, yours is managing something between 17 and 42mbps with a wall or two in the way?
Thats making me suspect I have a defective prime.. Does your GPS somewhat work? Because mine doesnt work at all.
Perhaps mine is simply not using its antennas for some reason..

I am also now getting the full 20/5 that fios is rated for compared with 10-15 and 5. This is downstairs with a belkin n750 upstairs

My router is upstairs and I'm in the basement and I get great reception on my prime. Always have even under honeycomb. Guess I got a good one lol
