The playbook will not charge if you are using one of the USB phone chargers or one of those usb wall chargers that has only around 700mAh. It will give an error and say the playbook can't be charged by source.
The reason you can charge with the PC usb port even though the current is lower (typically 500mAh), is probably because it will try to connect and establish a communication link with the PC and so since it is connected, it will trickle charge. (Reason why the charging icon doesn't show up)08-14-12 03:28 PMLike 0 - Looks like they screwed up the wifi again. As I type this I am not connected to my router according to the signal meter at the top and the PB says it can't connect to it. Says "Unable to aquire and IP address"
Yet I'm on the net and everything is working...so how am I browsing the net when I'm not connected?
That said... the browser is laggy as well.
Prior to updating...like 8am this mroning all was perfect.Superfly_FR and jhimmel like this.08-14-12 03:32 PMLike 2 - 08-14-12 03:34 PMLike 1

- You shouldn't even hide your SSID in the first place.
Myth vs. reality: Wireless SSIDs - Steve Riley on Security - Site Home - TechNet Blogs08-14-12 03:49 PMLike 0 - 2 more expert opinions:
"Though SSID cloaking might seem like an attractive mechanism to aid the security of the WLAN, it effectively reduces security significantly more than it could potentially gain"

Clearly the router is working...I said my playbook is connected, but it is showing as not connected. The PB is working on the internet. It just says it's not.
Update...I reset the router (because I could) just to amuse you "reset the router" folk
the result...no change.
Its the Playbook..okay!
Try deleting the saved AP on your playbook and setting it up again (if you haven't already)08-14-12 04:08 PMLike 0 -
- I'll be loading 2.1Beta onto my boy's PB later today I reckon.
668 has left him with a PB that turns itself off after a few minutes unless attached to a charger... and he's very unhappy about the situation.
Can someone confirm: The Apps he has installed on his PB will survive the update to 2.1Beta? Yes, true?
If the Apps need to be re-installed after updating to OS2.1Beta, I might as well downgrade to the previous official OS (358) instead.08-14-12 04:10 PMLike 0 -

- Regardless, tons of people use stuff like hidden SSIDs with no issues on this exact tablet, so it's not that much of a solution.steppinghorse likes this.08-14-12 04:35 PMLike 1

The ONLY solution is to start with the basics --- updated firmware, updated client drivers, simple basic user configurations (i.e. n-only, single channel, wpa2-aes, auto everything, not hiding SSID...).08-14-12 04:41 PMLike 0 - There are a million different wifi router firmwares, client drivers and user configurations.

Those basics you posted are useless/too complicated to the largest portion of tablet owners by far.08-14-12 04:46 PMLike 0 - Except that most of my suggestions are default settings. You have to change the default setting to hide SSID.08-14-12 04:52 PMLike 0
- Just wondering if anybody is having any issues with these 2 things after the latest beta.
My playbook quit showing any photos in KOBE & quit doing Videos on You tube when i had the first 2.1 beta
Brian08-14-12 04:58 PMLike 0 - There is a lot of pressure in answering that question. Looks good so far...anon(3641385) likes this.08-14-12 05:03 PMLike 1
