Hi guys,

i just recently bought my ipad 3 wifi. I'm using it on an mtnl connection. I'm facing an issue with connectivity, wherein if the ipad goes unused for 2 mins it loses the connection. Then I have to turn off and back on the wifi connection from the settings panel, after which its back to normal. It's very annoying, I mean even by the time I finish typing this post I would have lost connectivity, would have to reconnect and THEN click post. I'm guessing its not an issue with the ipad, I have the same problem with my galaxy...I can't seem to keep it connected to wifi constantly either. But then my blackberry has no such issues, the wifi stays on unless i turn it off. Ditto with the laptop. Is there some setting I'm missing out on? Anybody else facing such an issue?

Also, I found a nice app for docs, CloudOn. It uses the original MS Office suite, so you don't have to worry about compatibility and that too for Free! Dint see any mention of it anywhere so I thought I'd share it with everyone :)
 
iPad 3 is known to have Wifi issues. That might be a contributing factor. But then i am not sure why your galaxy is behaving the same way.
 
Well it works fine as long as the connection is being utilised. As soon as the connection goes idle, it's gone. Same with the galaxy.

Wifi is a known issue with iPad3, experts say that the device may had other issues that prompted Apple to launch a new one within 6 months of launch. I too faced problems with my ipad3 Wifi, there are a couple of solutions.

- Go to Wifi settings, forget the network, then rejoin.
- If it does not solve, do a factory restore of the device. First back up any important data that's onboard.
- If the problem still persists, change the DNS IP to some good servers. This should take care of the problem, mine was solved this way.

If nothing works & your device is within warranty, take it to the service centre, you should get a replacement.

Sold off my iPad3 some time back, so don't remember the sequence of settings. Used to switch on cellular data, data roaming, then tether. Let me see if I can get hold of cousins iPad to write the complete sequence...

That's google dns...any ips other than that?

Yes. Why not use these? I sold off my iPad due to WiFi issues(weak wifi). If your device is within Warranty, contact Apple, if Wifi problem persists after a reset, you would get a replacement.

Facing trouble in getting apple id authorised .Have mail them still no answer.What may be the reason?

Also can one extend warranty of an ipad from 1 to 1+1 ?
 
Guys need to check on two things.
1. Whenever I connect the iPad to my PC via iTunes I get a message asking me to update to latest software of iTunes. Should I update?
2. I remember when I had iPod some years ago whenever I connect my iPod to the PC it will automatically update all the new videos that have been recently added in iTunes Library. Not sure which settings I need to tweak so that whenever I connect my iPad all the new songs that have been added to the library can be automatically copied to ipad rather than I having to do it manually now.

1. If you rely on jailbreak, don't update.
If not update it latest, probably will take 700mb bandwidth.

2. Just select the checkbox saying sync all my videos or there's a dropdown box u missed.

Ps. Are you using older version of iTunes. Update to latest version and check the individual tabs.

Thanks for the response. I have already updated the software. Not sure about the version of iTunes whether it's latest or not.
 
Thanks.I did got reply.But the idiot other side suggest to change credit card details.But I am unable to find that option.Because i can only go through details from itunes.And on apple site i am unable to find card change option.Also he suggest paypal.Even i cant search that option.

Also i tried to create account with my family members name and card number.
Still facing some other issue where they decline the transaction stating wrong information provided.

Lets see where it goes.I will keep kicking that idiot until he resolve the issue

Just FYI, provide the details with respect to banks details.
For eg, no change in name, address. it sometimes sends errors.
You can the give another card details to go with transaction but in my case it results in failure. why not try for yourself.
i still owe apple 2*4.99$ for apple but those shitheads dosent need it.

I guess i figure the problem out.My account is set as united states based whereas i am trying indian agreement.I changed the option now and now i see paypal information.But my paypal is in limited mode.Have forwarded my bank,pan and other details and i guess have to wait for further 4 days.I guess after that i can bypass this trouble.

Also apple india and apple usa site differs alot to go to apple id account information.
