I have seen her sharing videos (perhaps with the entire team) and felt the videos got uploaded very fast. So, it does seem a good platform when you want to stay connected to a big group. I am not sure of what the advantage is if it is just one person that you would like to connect. | |

In short, for anyone having a problem connecting your Android phones to a WPA2 encrypted hotspot created on your Mac, use channel 9. Worked for me ![]() | |

IMHO when you configure a hotspot / WiFi router it is a best practice to check the channel will least interference and use it. If you are away from channel your neighbours are using you will get best signal in your home. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Any review of the Micromax Canvas Doodle A111? I am eyeing this phone for my sister but this will be the first time I would buy a Micromax and hence am a bit skeptical about the brand. |

Since this is an Android thread, I'll leave it to what can be described as I did earlier. If you want your Android phone to have full connectivity to your Macbook hotspot the solution is to try different channels. Last edited by 9thsphinx : 5th September 2013 at 15:35. | |

I suggest that you stick with phones from known brands like Samsung, LG, and Sony. | |

Let me check this for a few days to see how much battery & data it drains. I am wondering how this would work - because the app said it sends an SMS to you first and checks it - though I didn't see any SMS in my SMS list - it probably intercepted, read and deleted the message. | |

One of the major advantage of Whatsapp is that the app is really light weight on resources. I've used it on my 2 yrs old Neo V with just 512mb RAM and it runs very smoothly. Opens quickly compared to Skype or Google Hangouts. Also, it has been the most reliable way to connect to people after SMS. Message delivery is instant and data usage is very low. I've not seen any difference in operation when I fall back to 2G network. |

How is more reliable than GTalk or Yahoo Messenger or the MS one - I have been using some of those for 10 years & I don't remember any problems. |

Another advantage compared to conventional IM clients is that I don't have to "add" people in my list. It just uses contact's phone number as ID. So people show up automatically in whatsapp as they start using whatsapp. One doesn't need to create any account or anything to use whatsapp, everything happens in the background using the phone number. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Guys please tell me whether Galaxy Core will be faster than Galaxy S Advance? I am asking this because it has a 1.2 GHz processor compared to 1 GHz processor of S advance. |

But on the other hand, Core has more RAM than S Advance. The performance difference may not be apparent in routine operations, but will be a limiting factor for heavy jobs like HD video recording/playback, HD games etc. I would say, avoid both - go for Sony Xperia M. It comes with the Krait chipset that powers phones that cost twice as much. Rohan | |
