Well, my TF700 works decently aside from this issue:
My Wi-Fi will pretty much drop instantly when I attempt to airsync/airdroid copy something over to the TF700. Anybody else have this issue?
Anybody able to use airsync/airdroid successfully?

i'm using wifi file transfer pro and i get about 3-5MB/s when sitting right next to the router. the speed often drops when transferring files and it even stalls and then soon afterwards to goes a higher speed again. no idea if this problem is because of wifi file transfer or the tablet I/O lags which is really an issue (even with .26 firmware), i can't watch a movie when transferring some new movies via wifi to the tablet..
i had the "completely dropping wifi" issue only once but i think it was because of bad signal.

Hi,
Could anyone tell me what's the rationale behind this:
When the device connects to the internet via 3G in order to receive mail or whatever, it will just stay connected until you bother to manually disconnect it. But when using wifi, which unlike 3G doesn't cost by the byte, it will disconnect as soon as the screen goes off?
Why on earth is that? Instead of running the hell away from cellular internet as soon as possible it does so with the free wifi? Is there any way to change this behavior? Or am I the only one who's bothered by this?
Besides that, more often than not, I'm having problems connecting to wifi... sometimes it would attempt to connect to a network and then give up and say it's unavailable (even though the signal is excellent and I'm right by the AP). other times, it appears connected but there's no internet... anyone else has these problems? Is my device defective?
Sorry if I'm ranting...
Thanks!
I think the behaviour is to save energy. When the screen goes off, the device "thinks" you don't use it anymore. Wifi drains your battery very fast, so the phone tries to reduce it.
For 3G it's the point, that there isn't much data transfer in order to stay connected. Maybe a few kb for the whole day (I don't know if there is any data transfer anyway, but when it's verly little). That's much cheaper than to pay for the full block (for example 100kb) everytime you disconnect. So staying connected saves money in most cases. That's why.
Connection problems: Do you use any encryption? Maybe that's the problem. So far I use wifi only for data transfers between my Macbook and the device. But I don't have any problems.
If you search hard enough you can find apps that might jus tkeep it on.
One such app is KaiserTweak which will keep that wifi on when screen goes off. problem with kaisertweak is that i have heard it can hard reset some peoples devvices, depending on what options you select.
i might give it a whirl because i hate it when my connection is lost, i end up using my data connection when i dont need to as it tries to take over when device wakes up!
edit: seems ok so far no hardreset yet!
Thanks, will try that.
I flashed a 6.1 rom and it seems to have made an improvement. Now it would connect fine to my home router every time and not just occasionally (it uses the most basic wep encryption). Still no luck at work though... just as before it appears connected but I can't reach anything inside or outside the lan. The encryption there is the more secure wpa-psk and there's no mac filtering.
Anyone successfully connected to a wpa wlan?
I've started noticing that my file transfers to and from the Transformer always drop at random times. For example, using Wifi File Explorer and uploading/downloading a large file will stop suddenly after a little time (15+ seconds).
This is also happening when downloading installation data of some apps (e.g. large games).
I've resetted my router, rebooted the Transformer etc... but this is still occurring. My Transformer is on 3.2 btw.
Has anyone been experiencing this? This is really bugging me and I am considering returning it.
I've had this issue since day one. It's most noticeable when I use AndFTP (in SFTP mode). Transfer speed sucks too (150KB/s via SFTP vs 600KB/s via FTP, really?! That's a lot of overhead!) Stability is awful whenever the processor is under load but that really could be the client software more so than the OS. Dunno how to validate it either way short of Kismet/Wireshark.

Thanks for sharing. I managed to figure out what the issue was.
It's DCHP causing the problem. I've now set it to a static IP and there are no more disconnections.
I use Samba and it works flawlessly, and that is WITH a static IP.

SFTP is slower because its encrypted. It has to encrypt (or decrypt) all the information before its sent.
You'll also notice a major SFTP speed difference if your computer has 100% CPU load vs no load
Yes, use static ip will solve the problem, no dhcp. Try.
Where is that setting?

I'm trying to copy some large files over the network but the network keeps loosing track of the machine I'm trying to copy to.
The machine gets to about 2gb then falls off the network...
Anyone else seen this or know of a fix?

Is your surface going to sleep?
We talking via ethernet or wifi? I had issues on windows 7 copying a 900mb file via wifi. 4 out of 5 bars signal on my laptop and 5 bars on the desktop. File stopped at 750mb every god damn time. Ethernet cable fixed it immediately (and gave a nice boost to transfer speed, no idea why but my laptop will not surpass the 5 megabit barrier under wifi. Hit 26 via ethernet.).
Wifi, signal is fine and I'm making sure its not going to sleep by tapping the mouse when the screen dims a bit..
I have DSL 6mbps connected to a Linksys E2500 router, very good connectivity, and my PC is hardwired to it. I can play 720p videos on 3-4 devices with no buffering. I just got a brand new S6, set it up, synced, and once I connect it to wifi, it slows down astronomically. I can barely load one 144p video, the phone itself can barely load anything. I turned off auto backup, smart switch wifi, and nothing helps. I can't find anyone with this problem.
I turned off everything except my PC and the S6, load a game, get 60ms ping, turn on wifi on the phone, and I get over 999ms of ping. What is the problem? I have tried restarting router, phone, resetting network configs on phone, etc. Nothing helps.
Any ideas?
Try a router firmware upgrade.

Why would I need to upgrade a brand new router with updated drivers that works flawlessly with every other device except this one? It is updated.

You should always run the latest firmware on your router, it usually fixes security and compatibility issues - it might not fix your problem but it's a good place to start.
P.S. You don't need to post the same question twice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/help/wifi-slows-to-crawl-s6-connects-t3121991
Hi All?
Is anyone having any problems with their WiFi on their Pixel?
Doesn’t matter what app im using (Facebook WhatsApp ect) the WiFi doesn’t seem to work correctly. It is connected constantly so its not dropping out, however videos on Facebook just won’t play, or play and buffer for ages.
It seems intermittent though, sometime it will work fine, but this is about 1 in 10,
If I turn off WiFi and connect to 4g it works fine instantly.
I’m on Pure Nexus, but this problem existed before hand on stock.
I have upgraded modem,
I have checked the channels on the router,
I have disabled 2.4 ghz and done 5Ghz only and the problem is still there.
I’m on Virgin media, 300mb which works perfectly fine via cable and laptop via wifi.
Any ideas?
