Sony Tablet S - Wifi/bluetooth - Samba Resolving Issue

[ThunderboltIconiaTab]

I have had my Sony Tablet S for about 9 months and as I think everyone knows the wifi disconnects randomly. I've found my biggest problem when using Wifi with bluetooth. The network would lose data and then disconnect every 5-20 minutes (sometimes in less than a minute). Thanks to Condi and those involved in the recent break through, I was able to root my r5a. Once I installed Samba Network Fileshare, it seems to have stopped being an issue (at least, no issues within my normal use 30 min - 1 hr at a time). I've used every app designed to fix and force wifi connections I could find with NO success. I have to say I've been close to chucking the tablet as hard as I can against the closest wall, but since root and the Samba install, I've had a much more pleasant experience.

I'm sure there's a question in there somewhere, but for now, I thought I'd share my experience.

The closest thing to a question in this thread would be "What is Samba Network Fileshare doing to fix the network issue that other wifi connection apps would be doing?"

Wifi fix Sony Table S (root & install Samba Network Fileshare)

Thanks, I have rooted my Sony Tablet S and installed the "Samba Network Fileshare" app and the wifi speed and stability had a huge improvement.

I have a different question regarding bluetooth. I have an htc sensation and when I try to send files from my phone to my tablet. The process always fails. None of my files get transferred
