The above addresses a low power save mode "time-out" WiFi problem in 4.2007.26-8. I read that the value was set to 200 milliseconds and that can be a problem for the N800 (running 4.2007.26-8) with some Access Points. Can anyone tell me if this was rectified in 4.2007.38-2 ?
I have a Linksys WRT54G version 4 with standard Linksys firmware, and my N800 works very nicely in my own WiFi cloud. When I goto a friends place who has another brand/make wireless router ( AP ), I think he said he has a NetGear. My Skype performance is less than I'd like when I am in his network cloud (dropped connections/calls). Could it be that I need to increase the:
'/system/osso/connectivity/IAP/wlan_sleep_timeout'
when I am using my N800 on his network? or did the 4.2007.38-2 already alter the parameter to a value higher than 200mS set in the older 4.2007.26-8?
I understand that the value of the wlan_sleep_timer is going to have an effect on the N800 battery drain. Can anyone say how much? Will a setting of 1000mS really hit my battery that hard to where it is very noticeable? I'd gladly sacrifice some milliamphours in exchange for a more stable Skype experience when I am away from home (if that is really what is going on when I am at my buddies place with that Netgear AP).
Up 'til now I was blaming his ISP ( ClearWire ) and not his router. SO many variables, I know, but can anyone please comment quantitatively on the battery drain variance between 200mS and 1000mS in the wlan_sleep_timeout? and can someone "in the know" tell me the default wlan_sleep_timeout value for 4.2007.38-2?
Thanks !
