Android OS

I'm having problems connecting to my home Wi-Fi. I can connect to the network with my Galaxy S2 and my Asus TF300T but I can't connect to the internet on either device. I've tried turning off the security on the network but that hasn't helped. I've tried rebooting the router but also no joy.
I can connect and use the wifi at work so I don't understand why it's not working on my home network

Are they newly purchase ?

The Asus is new. I've had the S2 since November and it used to work properly but I haven't connected to the wifi in ages so I'm not sure when the problem started. It may have happened when I upgraded to ICS.

I'd turn GPS, bluetooth, Wi-fi and mobile data off too. I only turn them on when I need them.

if any of you guys are on orange see if your entitle to special apps, I was entitled to deezer it basically allows me to download any album i like for free and listen to any track I want wherever I am, i'm not sure how much it is but it's a quality app

Mobile data isn't needed, no. It just gives you internet access when you're not on WiFi, so you can be selective with it.

Has anything changed on the router? Have you got a Linksys?

thanks for the tips! but I'm a big whatsapp user so this is one thing I can't do.
I'll get used to the battery soon!! only had it for two days so far

When you say terrible battery life, how terrible is it? What kind of times are you getting between charges? Also bear in mind that as you have only had it for two days you may be using it more than you would usually use your phone, I know I do whenever I get a new piece of tech

lol yeah that's what I was thinking as well. The first day was very quick because I was setting everything up to the way I like it, changing the settings, downloading apps etc, which is understandable.

But here is what I have done since I gotten over the fact that I have a new phone:
It would be fully charged at 100% by about 2am at night. (I can't keep it plugged in over night because my plug is ridiculously far from my bedside and I rely on it for alarm.) I take the plug out and it drops straight to 98% in a few seconds. At this point, gps, wifi, sound, bluetooth is already switched off, and I keep it off until I need whichever one. I wake up about 11am and it's at about 89%. I use my phone constantly for whatsapp and a bit of internet (just browsing. no videos, no camera), as I would usually do with my other phones, and it'll desperately need a charge by 9pm.

Maybe that's normal lol. but I jumped from a blackberry to this, and the blackberry lasted 2 full days, so I just need to get used to it. I will order a spare battery so I don't need to worry every time I know I'll be out for ages.

I don't like android I prefer iPhone

That sounds to me to be fairly normal. One thing you can do to save ten percent straight away - the alarm should go off when the phone is switched off. So unplug it from your charger at 2am, set the alarm (or have it recurring), switch the phone off. When it wakes you up, turn it on and have a full battery to start the day There are plenty of things you can do to save battery such as keeping the brightness low, turning off the aforementioned unnecessary features, reduce the time it takes for the screen to sleep after the last use. You could turn off automatic syncing of various things, and make sure that you don't leave loads of apps running in the background. Hope some of this helps

Yep I've done everything else u have mentioned. Yeah I could switch it off actually, thanks. I usually keep it on because I use it to keep track of time when I wake during the night as well, so I never really thought of it as an option.
Overall still a bit annoying because I'm so used to phones that use less power, but I will get used to it!!
