IMHO Rim was asleep at the wheel and should have never put this out to the consumer,the wifi connection of this device is one of the most important features that is used on this device!!! The confliction of the wifi and the BIS IMHO is unacceptable!

I do not have a problem. Mine works wonderfully.

Although I have issues with the UI of the Torch, WiFi is not one of the problems.

Mine kicked off line twice talked with upper level support and RIM admits to a wifi problem and is working on it at this time.

It got you off the phone with them, right?
When do the "RIM is recalling the Torch" rumors start.

As I said, I have a lot of issues with the Torch, but WiFi (and UMA) were not on my list.

i've not had any problems between my Wi-Fi and my BIS. WHen I thought I had an issue, it was related to the WiFi and not the device, or BIS.

There's nothing wrong with WiFi on the Torch.
In fact, when the device loses its data connection on the carrier network (which is a known problem) WiFi continues to function normally.

So... why did you start this absurd topic?

tbird57 · 09-18-2010, 02:29 PM

because everytime I get on my wifi its knocking my BIS out...if you think its absurd..please I would be more than happy to let you tell me what my problem is....I am open to suggestions at this point! Please chime in and tell me what the problem is,instead of telling me I am absurd! Let me read some productive comments to the problem dont bet the problem!

There is no fix yet.
You're losing BIS connectivity because of a bug in the OS.
It's got nothing to do with WiFi.

Sit tight and wait for RIM to release an OS version which addresses this problem.
For many of us, .225 made it better. Maybe carriers will release it.
