 I'm really liking the option in the BROWSER settings to REQUEST DESKTOP SITE while browsing. Is there any way to make this the default action ,instead of having to select it every time you open up the BROWSER?

 I like it too. I cant see a way to set it as default. But I use Dolphin more anyway. That browser you can set desktop as default, even set it as an ipad. lol

Yeah, I have DOLPHIN (a couple versions of it)T along w/CHROME & FIREFOX for tablets(Just loaded it up yesterday).

Trying all of them out to see which works best in most situations.
I'm finding stock browser & DOLPHIN to be my go-to browsers most often.

I'm running into a very bizarre issue post-upgrade... when I connect my Motorola Bluetooth keyboard, i lose WiFi connectivity. It comes back when I turn off the keyboard.

 

Anyone else having a similar issue? Any ideas before I go through the hassle of a factory reset?

 

Upgradad to ICS on XYboard 10.1 WiFi...

 I have the VZW version (DROID XYBOARD),upgraded to ANDROID 4.0.4 & the OEM MOTOROLA KEYBOARD/PORTFOLIO.
I haven't had any issues w/ WI-FI dropping off/disconnecting while using the keyboard.if there's anyway I can assist you w/troubleshooting,PM me,or,just respond to this post,as I have the alerts for the enire forum activity.

Hello EBinNJ,

I'd be glad to help you with this issue. Can you tell me which BT keyboard you are using? Have you tried other BT keyboards and did it behave differently prior to the upgrade to ICS? Are you using any other BT devices at the same time as your keyboard (i.e. mouse, headphones, speakers, etc)? Have you tried pairing any other BT devices (such as a mouse) with your XYBoard? Have you tried dropping the BT pairing with the keyboard and then re-establishing the pairing again?

 Thanks Doc and Kolio...

The keyboard is the Motorola BT keyboard withOUT mousepad, Kit # SJYN0700A.

Unfortunately I don't have any other BT keyboards to try, however I did unpair the keyboard from the XYboard, and I even reset the keyboard by holding down N-E-W when powering up, then re-pairing the device after rebooting the XYboard. The keyboard was the only device connected.

I have tried connecting a BT Headset to the Xyboard and streaming music out to it, and this does not seem to impact Internet connectivity.

I honestly cannot say that this is caused by the ICS upgrade... In fact, I had been having troubles with WiFi connectivity before ICS upgrade that I attributed to a very polluted WiFi environment in my office (which is where I use the keyboard) along with the XYboard's inability to connect through the authentication firewall my company uses for connectivity to the WiFi network until the ICS upgrade fixed that problem.

So--to state the obvious--I either have a hardware problem (with either the keyboard or the XYBoard) or there's a sofware/driver/garbage issue on the XYboard, and I don't have another keyboard available to try that alternative out. I also find it a little hard-to-believe that a hardware issue could cause WiFi to drop when a particular bluetooth device connects.

I did try flushing the cache from the Recovery screen (That didn't work either) and I'm inclined to try a Factory Reset.

My settings are backed up to the Google Servers... does anyone know if my apps and settings will be automatically restored after a Factory Reset?  I've seen that work on my ICS RAZR very nicely, but I've not seen it work on my (then) honeycomb XYboard.

@EBinNJ,

A Factory Reset may be overkill in your situation, but doing so would be the quickest way to eliminate the possibility of OS and app related conflicts or issues. I would retest the issue immediately following the F.R. (before installing anything) to see if the situation changes. As far as apps and settings, yes, once you sync your Google account back to the device, all apps will be reinstalled from the Market and any application data backed up to Google will be restored (automatically). However, any local media (music, video, pictures, etc.) will NOT be restored using the Google backup and should be backed up to a PC or other storage prior to the Factory Reset.

Well, some more information...

I did a factory reset on the XYBOARD and the keyboard still takes out the WiFi connection.

It's also worth noting that I needed to manually reinstall all my apps and reconfigure them. No idea why the auto restore didn't work.

I also tried the keyboard out on my DROID RAZR. I disabled mobile data, reset the keyboard and paired it to the RAZR. And lo and behold, when the keyboard connected to the RAZR, WiFi connectivity stopped. It started up again when the keyboard was disconnected.

So... Either there's a bug in the ICS code with this keyboard or there's a very bizarre failure mode on this keyboard that causes WiFi to drop.

I will contact Motorola tomorrow and arrange for the keyboard to be replaced under warranty.

@DocBrown... Any of your Moto contacts interested in this interesting and challenging dilemma?

Since our ICS 4.0.4 upgrade, we haven't been able to pair a bluetooth smart card reader with the XYBoard. It worked fine in Gingerbread and all older versions of Android, and it works under ICS with different hardware. Devices that are already paired before the upgrade work fine. When attempting to pair the device, a 6 digit passkey is generated by the OS, but its not relayed to the device, causing the pair to fail.

Hello EBinNJ,

I setup and paired my own Droid XYBoard 10.1 (upgraded to ICS) to one of my Motorola BT keyboards tonight and my WiFi stayed active. I also had no issue browsing the Internet via WiFi using the BT keyboard at the same time. I then took it one step further and pair my Logitech BT mouse. With both the BT keyboard AND BT mouse connected and active, I had no issues browsing using WiFi and transferred files over WiFi as well.

Based on this, it seems like the issue is segregated to your BT keyboard or OS installation (or app conflict under the OS). Have you tried another BT keyboard or another BT device like a mouse?

As far as restoring your apps after a Factory Reset, you must fully sync (backup) your tablet to your Google account prior to the reset and re-sync after the reset. I have done this numerous times when testing scenarios for various end users and my apps have always installed automatically after the re-sync (though it takes about 3 hours to complete the ~200 apps).
