[Q] Wi-Fi no longer works - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i recently rooted my Xperia Play R800i to install cyanogenmod 7.1 but when i installed it, it no longer detected my SIM Card.....or any service or signal for that matter so i restored it back to Android 2.3.2 which can now detect my SIM card and everything but the Wifi no longer works and when i try to turn it on it keeps saying error
is there any advice on how to fix it? i will greatly appreciate any help

Have you tried using flashtool? I would try that with the appropriate ftf file for your phone.

I believe Your using wrong modules for your ROM or kernel

[Q] Arc S (LT18i) with FXP043 and ant+?

Hello
I installed FXP043 on my Arc S with unlocked bootloader. All looked fine but i could not connect with my ant+ sensors
I downloaded Ant+ Demo and with the first start I got a message to install "Ant Radio Service". No problems so far and no errors.
I rebooted my phone (ARS says so in the description) but Ant+ Demo tried for 15 min to "enabling ANT ...". With stockROM there is no problem.
Is it, because my lt18i is recognized as lt15i?
Do I have to wait for a new release or is there anything I can do now to get this working?
Have you downloaded and installed ANT radio service?
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Yes, downloaded and installed, no change, no enabled ant+
its an issue with fxp043....vibrations still not working btw...
Hm, to bad.
I think, I try it some times later again

ICS WiFi

After updating to the final ICS rom I noticed that the WiFi really sux big time..always dropping even when I am sitting next to my router!even more it just keeps disconnecting and connecting every minute..I tried the Wifix manger as suggested by one good friend but no go!nothing improved at all..I thought about sharing my WiFi suffering in case anyone experiencing the same difficulties or have any suggestion to sort this out,thanks alot for any help provided
It happened to me once: it kept connecting and disconnecting. Forget your network then connect again and it should work. If not, reboot the phone and try again. It worked for me and since, it didn't happen again.

I've got the same pro just like u even with Acronuim ISC V1.0
I tried everything and all the suggestions but no improvement..I cant connect for more than one minute without disconnecting..hate this

Did you try to reset your wifi?. It seems you are the only one who has this problem.

Hey There,
i`ve updated my Arc S to ICS today via the Guide here on the Forum. The Problem i`m having now is the following: My Wifi Connection on the Phone won`t wory anymore. More specifically, the connection with my Wifi Router. The interesting thing is, that it worked just well, before i updated to ICS. In the Wifi Tab it says "Authentification Problem".
I`ve rebooted my Phone twice, resetted the Router, unplugged the Power Source but nothing seems to work. Although i can connect to another Wifi located nearby, I can`t connect to mine.
Any suggestions I haven`t tried yet?
Thanks in advance.

Hey josephnero,
the fix seems useful, but how do I install .apk files without any kind of File Manager or Connection to the Internet?

Do you copy & paste the wifi password?
Had the same problem and found out that during copy&paste I get one unwanted space so the password is wrong.

Hey, no I didn`t c&c the wifi password. Just typed it in again. And I actually Triple-Checked
Jack, have you tried forgetting the network and trying again? Are you able to connect to any other WiFi?
I would also check the security its trying to use, ensure that it's set to the same on your network.

Hey, I`ve tried all the possible options that are there. The main Problem I`m having now, is how to install .apk files onto the Phone without a Wifi, Bluetooth Connection. I wanted to try the fix that was mentioned earlier, but I can`t install it.
What about USB? Or a sd card reader? Failing that do you have a data plan?

Yeah, USB I do have
But still, how do I Install an app onto the Phone/SC Card? The Phone is rootet and I have Superuser rights. Yeah, and I do have a Data Plan, but the Volume is used up.
Then just plug the phone in set the phone to debug mode and allow installing from unknown sources and push the .apk into /data/app and check the permissions. You do need to have adb from the SDK though. Have a look around on here their should a how to.

[Q] Error while searching for networks while running Custom ROM

Hi people, currently I am running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355660 ICS ROM but I cannot connect to my mobile network. In the last few days I unlocked my phone while running this ROM and I entered in the code I was given. The unlock was successful however I could not get onto my mobile network 3. When I went into settings > Mobile network settings > Network Operators I received the message "Error while searching for networks". I tested it with another SIM card and I got the same result. Then I tried reflashing the ROM and using a different ROM, the 4.1 Jelly Bean by Nikez. The result was the same. Another thing I noticed was that each time I restarted the phone it would ask for the unlock code again and each time I entered it the phone would say "successful", but obviously something has gone completely wrong. Also note I have Data Enabled and my Wifi/Bluetooth is completely fine. Can anyone help me on what has gone wrong? Thanks
Bump, would appreciate some help please
Come on guys, I really need some help and this is really urgent! Otherwise I am basically wasting away my contract...

Ok, what do I do with the file once I put it onto my SD card? Also will this fix the 3G problem?

You don't put it on your sd card. Extract it to your desktop, connect your phone and run it.

Excuse my awfull english
Hard reset using power and volume up until 3 vibrations. Then give it a good few seconds and turn back on. Then leave it for a few minutes to load up fully. Don't touch it. Then see if you have signal back

[Q] [Xperia S] Frequency Conflicts !!!

Hello Everyone
I have a very odd problem on my Xperia S device and this problem is not only limited to my device but is also for all other Xperia S devices that I have tried or used in my area!!!
The problem is related to the WiFi (the phone does not connect to any network and does not even detect any network)
after going back and forth with this problem I discovered that it is related to the GSM providers in my country Syria (both providers MTN or Syriatel) If I remove the SIM card everything works fine (My phone detects WiFi networks and is able to connect to any of them) so basically the problem is related to frequency matters (I guess).
I found one work around only: if I switch the WiFi off - reboot the phone - wait till the phone finishs booting and detecting the GSM network - then switch the WiFi on. This work around worked for me so far WiFi works completely fine after doing so even with the SIM card inserted but this only works for the official stock ROMs or modified ROMs based on the stock ones (If I try cyanogen based ROMs there is no way that I could find to make it work, I also tried the leaked official JB ROM 6.2.B.0.197 from DooMLoRD (BTW you are the best) and it did not work also whatever I try till I remove the SIM card and boot the phone without GSM.
Anyone can give me any hint or help about this annoying matter?? Thanks in advance.
PS: My phone is unlocked rooted and using stock 6.1.A.2.55 ROM with Advanced Stock Kernel v17
PS2: the problem as I said before exists in every Xperia S phone I tried is this area (whether are Lock or Unlocked, Rooted or NOT) and I tried about 7 or 8 devices so far, so it is not limited only to my device.

I did try and did not work + I tried it on several wireless routers same problem, that's why my guess it is related to frequency conflict between WiFi adapter and GSM SIM cards
anyways thanks for your help
