HP Envy 15-k050sr: poor Wi - Fi on the Envy 15

Good time of day,

I bought a new laptop (HP Envy 15-k050sr, Windows 8.1) and I have a very bad Wi - Fi connection. I work at 0.5 meter of Wi - Fi router... If I move to another room or even in a few metres away, the laptop constantly loses the connection Wi - Fi and the speed is also very bad. I thought it's something with my previous Wi - Fi router settings, but in fact the old laptop works fine with it and I've tried other places with different types of routers - with each of them, I have the same problem.

The network card is Broadcom BCM 43142 802.11 bgn Wi - Fi adapter.

Driver provider: Broadcom

Driver date: 31.07.2014

Driver version: 6.223.215.14

Now I need to go to a business trip, and I feel that the laptop will not be a friend to me.

What is a reason of the problem? Is it possible to improve it?

Thank you in advance!

Yesterday, I checked a large number of different items and solved the problem. I installed the two packages, not sure that it is fixed.

1 sp58720 - HP wireless button Driver. The aircraft was unknown on my laptop, so I found about and installed the driver. But actually I don't have the button on the laptop. It's really weird.

2 sp64950 - 2012 Ralink Wireless LAN Controller driver. I do not think that this can affect on the problem, because I do not have the Ralink devices here, but actually I found a HP page with recommendations to install the driver in the event of such problems for the long list laptops, including the HP Envy 15.

I hope it helps someone to solve the same problems.

    1. put the image files you want in the slide show in an album and genre as you want. Follow the Apple document to prepare images for iDVD: iDVD ' 09 (7.x): preparing images for iDVD slideshows

    2 - Launch iDVD and select an older theme, not animated.  You can change the background of the theme by dragging the image file of your choice, black or other, in the display pane for the menu.

    3 - Click on the button '+' and add a slideshow from the menu.

    4. double click on the sideshow button to enter the mode of construction of the slide show.

    5. in the media pane click the Photos button.

    6 - click on iPhoto and find the album you created with selected images.

    7. Select all images in the album and drag to the left in the slide show window.

    8 - Select the transition for the slideshow and the time for each slide on screen

    9 - follow this workflow to help ensure the best DVD video qualty:

    Once the project you want it save it as an image disk via the menu file → save as Disk Image . It will separate from the process of encoding of the burning process.

    To check coding mount the disk image, launch a DVD player and read it.  If it plays OK with DVD, encoding is good.

    Burn burn to disc with utility disk or toasts to the slowest speed (2 x - 4 x) in order to ensure the best quality.  Always use higher quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are recommended in these forums.

  • EP 14 - menus DVD look at grain-y and poor quality even if the content of actual film seems well

    First Elements 14 - FILM and DVD MENU BURNING

    QUESTION #1: HELP!   I spent days and days trying to figure out why the DVD menus look so grain-y and poor quality even if the content of actual film seems well. I upgraded from 12 to 14 items first thinking that would improve the quality, but no luck.  I made my film with many segments video, titles, etc., fading in and out of the extra audio tracks. It all works very well.

    Then, when I select the Menu move and there the process... and the result... is simply unacceptable. I chose the "Pan and Zoom" model, even if I wanted to use my own background for the main Menu and the following menus images, because it was the only model with 6 thumbnails per page. I downloaded many sizes of different files and resolutions of my background images, thinking that this one would work.  I even found the original "Pan and Zoom". Model PSD files on my hard drive and checked the length of number of pixel and width, more inches in length and width, more DPI.

    Each of my own images (including one I formatted the exact size of the model "Pan and Zoom") looks a lot like pixelated, when I preview the movie... or actually make a DVD in first of 12 elements.  In the first 14 elements, burn a DVD does not even operate.  The disc resulting is not playable on any of my computers or DVD players.  It comes to my QUESTION #2.

    Is it possible to download a few screenshots to help you see what my poor quality menus looks like compared to the high quality film?

    I don't know what is happening with your DVD writer. It could be material, may be a driver, could be another program maintaining Premiere Elements to it. (Nero is famous for this).

    But if your DVD is burning as a file on your hard drive, then the program has done what it can. And you can easily use a free software called ImgBurn to burn DVD files to a disc. (As I noted in my books, this is the way I and a number of other publishers prefer to work for a number of reasons.)

    The program creates a VIDEO_TS folder on your D drive or if she has created an ISO file?

  • Add ons page in Firefox posted in poor graphics - problems with the plugins?

    Hi, since 2 days my Firefox on my laptop has acted weird when he suddenly refreshed himself. When I go to page addons, the graphics looks very poor (see image) and, therefore, Youtube. I went to see if the plug-ins had issues and saw that the Java Toolkit is in a vulnerable state and are not available (Firefox just will not let me to this page of Java because it is not approved). I tried to re - install the Session manager add on, but the entire page of this add-on icons - ons seems disabled. My Firefox is updated according to the Firefox itself. Please advise me what to do, like many, I would get my old (functioning) back of Firefox, and that would be the best way to uninstall it, as clearly that did not work either?

    Thank you in advance.

  • "Poor performance" VM, but the use of the processor and memory are OK!

    A colleague told me that his poor VM performance. I checked in vCenter, the CPU (Maximum in the last month) and the memory (Maximum in the past month) use two values below 75%.

    Ready CPU (over the past week maximum) stood at 83968.

    The virtual machine has 1vCPU and 4 GB of RAM

    What should I do?

    Any help would be appreciated

    If approve you the CPU, up to now, you will have claim on the CPU.  We keep our cluster around 25% in average usage of the CPU.  We push higher in 3.5.  V4 may allow a higher value, but it remains to be seen.

    Try reducing this ratio vCPU/CPU.

  • Satellite P300 - poor sound quality using the Dynadock

    I have a laptop Satellite P300, Vista and a * Dynadock VBI * port replicator.
    Except for the audio part of the dynadock works very well.
    I can edit on 2 screens.

    However, the sound is horrible. You can hear only fragments distorted healthy eating and a white noise.
    It takes the dynadock software, because the sound on the laptop is OK and if I connect speakers (Logitech) directly to the laptop, there is no distortion.

    I already downloaded the latest drivers from Toshiba, removed the old software and reinstalled with the new drivers.
    Technical support from Toshiba didn't have an answer.

  • Windows 7 - audio system sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Soundcard Question. Issue of the audio recording. Poor sound quality from the speakers.

    I connect on - the work of sound system very well.  Media player works fine.  The next time I log on - no sound system.  Everything is plugged, convenience store finds no problems, Media player goes through all the steps and looks that don't worry, still no sound.  I have download a fix for the VIA recommended by Dell Driver.  I did, and it still has the same problem.  I can close, reconnect, and then the sound will work.  Sometimes I have to close and log on twice in a row so he can launch.

    Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this problem?  I am working on a Dell Inspiron 546 AMD Athlon II x 2 215 2.70 GHz and 64-bit with 400 GB of RAM.  I installed Windows 7 but when I dug deeper into the service code for this machine which found at some point in time he had installed Vista.  This could be the same Vista to Windows 7 problem audio, everyone seems to have?  I bought this Staples announced new with Windows 7 as operating system.

    I did research on all forums and responses and am unable to check if I have a "sound card".  I'm not used with the terminology so even if I follow the Microsoft instructions to find the right place to check and see, I do not understand what I see when I'm there.  It is said: ATI high definition Audio Device and VIA High Definition Audio.  Is this to say that I have a sound card or I should get it a?  If I buy a sound card will it fix my audio problem?

    Even though I had my audio problem fixed, I was disappointed by the sound quality of the speakers on this new system up to date.  My speakers on my old computer (which lasted from Windows 98) were by far superior in sound quality.  I don't understand why they sound so crappy and barely louder, and when you show the to they have a rattle for them.  I tried plugging my old speakers on my new computer, but nothing happens.  My new speakers have a Plug and a USB port.  I don't know what is... why goal can not use my 'old'?

    Finally, I want to record my vinyl on discs and need a great sound system.  Any advice?

    I removed all the ATI Audio as suggested.  The result in the short term is that the audio quality is improved.  I no longer hear the "crackling" when the sound is turned on.  I'll answer more if the issue of audio (works) continues to be a problem because the fix.  If you don't hear from me, then please consider the problem solved and my thanks to you.

  • How to improve the poor quality when importing the .mts files?

    Hey there,

    This is my problem in a few words: I did the sequence with Canon camcorder, not course specifications about but I could dig them out if necessary. Files/clips are in format .mts and are so open bearable quality on my Windows PC.

    However, when I import them into Adobe Premiere Pro (trial version), they lose spectacular quality, can stop at any second, but more important-, they are all "wavy", with almost scratches on the screen, so the resolution suffers a lot. This can be seen in the Timleine, and it's the same when you export.

    When I create a new sequence, there are options to choose the parameters - maybe this could help? Also, maybe I need to indicate some specific settings during export.

    Sound is OK, though the same as in the source video.

    Thank you, any advice/guess will be highly appreciated!
