Tablet performance
Hi,
I'm stuck someplace with horrendous wi-fi, and I've been trying out a Nexus 7. Supposed to be a pretty good Android tablet.
At any rate, it seems to have a tougher time with the poor signal than my ancient XP laptop does. I've set it not to predict network performance, but it still gives up fairly frequently. Today, I can't even seem to download the fte mobil app (< 2Mb!).
Is this just the nature of the beast?
Thanks,
hj

I know this thread is one month old, but hard to say about your issue. I have a Nexus 7 which I love, and my work offers free wi-fi., which works awesome inside the building. Yet, twenty feet outside, coverage is spotty at best. Also, there are two actual 'networks'. I believe that is the actual term (hard to keep up with technology). I know signal strength on one Wi-Fi 'band' is strong, but the other (according to my tablet), is weak at best. Naturally, I choose the stronger one, and while inside the building, I'm fine. It almost defeats my purpose of bringing the tablet to work because I work afternoons and miss the MLB broadcastings of the baseball games. I was hoping to eat lunch in my truck and surf the web, but I can't with the poor outside Wi-Fi connection. On a side-note, cell phone reception is also spotty. Makes no sense that in our parking lot even, placing a call is difficult, yet twenty feet away a major interstate is located and naturally, drivers can get a strong signal. I hope this helps, and good luck.

I have a Samsung 4 g tablet. It does great most everywhere
Every once in a while it acts up, all I do is shut it down, and start it back up, and it's back to normal. You may want to try that.
You may want to also see if it has all it's latest updates.May be that there is a fix for the problem your having
