Does anyone else have problems with wifi connection in this build? Mine detects the connections but never connects to them or the connection list keeps disappearing. I don't know if it's my phone or just a problem in the experimental ROM.
Also, what does that at the end of the line means? "WIFI - ok - new wl12xx_mac80211"
I'm sorry for the noobish questions..
Anyone?
Read the ROM thread. This is not a new issue.

I have the same problem. My Arc S connects to my router and everything works for some time. Suddenly, while surfing or facebooking, the information isn't loading any more even when the phone says its still connected. WiFi-Icon in statusbar is still active. Only way to reconnect is to turn WiFi off and on again.
I tried the WiFi-fix application for ICS which was mentioned in some threads on xda but it didn't help.
Stock ICS 4.0.4 firmware, baseband 72, stock kernel from ICS 4.0.4

Does a reboot solve the problem?

Only for about a half hour, then the problem happens again.
Edit: Not a half hour, every 10 minutes or less.
Then it looks like some app or service is interfering with wifi.. Do you have any network related apps installed? (lik vpn or tethering apps or something lik that)

Are you using the 4.0.4 FR version? If so, try flashing another version of ICS like the Mobitel Slovenia version.
The wifi reportedly works better in this version.

No I'm using the Slovenian version.
I had the problem with official 4.0.3, leaked 4.0.4 and now official Slovenian 4.0.4.

The wifi problem in ICS is reported by many!
Please wait with patience for Sony to solve the problem or till someone comes up with a fix!

I have this exact same mentioned problem on my galax s3 and 4.0.4.
Really would like a fix soon, glad its a common problem should get some more attention.
I'm on a belkin router and connect to the apple time capsule.
What I have found is the main network in my household is Home which is hidden, and has added security and this problem occurs. And then we have a second network that isn't hidden for guests and visitors, when I connect to it I havn't experienced the problem. So are the others with the problem connecting to a hidden network? Maybe ICS looses the hidden networks or something.
I had the same problem on my Neo V! I solved it by switching my WI-Fi router to b\g mode! and since that I don`t have any problems)))
P.s. Sorry for my bad english((
Has anyone on here have tethering problems with their Arc after ICS update? I cannot, for the life of me, connect either WIFI nor USB to the internet with my pc, ALSO S SONY!!! Does this mean a trip to repair? Any help would be appreciated. Sony support sucks, on top of being rude and unintelligent.

Got Wi-Fi to work, but keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. And I can't seem to adjust my APN's any more. Won't allow me to go into settings.
Sent from my LT15a using XDA
There is a topic on installing ICS 4.0.4 with a tethering fix. In my situation there was no issue after flashing and rooting. Maby re do the process....
Also questions are for the q &a section. This topic will prolly get locked..
Good luck..

I did see this on your topic, thank you. I still can't get into my settings to change the APN, but I did change them before I deleted the installed APN from Sony.

Mine isn't rooted, but an unlocked Arc. After ICS update, phone acts up and freezes. Annoying.

Anyone else having wifi and wifi calling issues with connection on darkside rom v7
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I've been running darkside v7 for last few days and have not experienced any issues. What issues are you having?
Cant seem to get full wifi when im a room away from the router and wifi calling rarely pops out and this happens in different locations with different routers
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I've had wifi calling disconnects occur at my office occasionally with other roms and typically disabling / re-enabling wifi calling would correct this problem. Sometimes a reboot would also be required. Were you previously using another ICS rom that was working for you? Assuming you've tried the aforementioned steps, I would suggest verifying that the rom download is good and then reflash the rom after a darkside superwipe.

I have also had that problem, I had my wireless router exchanged thinking it was just putting out crappy signal. I moved it out from under the desk where I figured that would also better the strength - but I'm one room over with thin walls and still, terrible wifi signal. Went back to GB to inspect and its great reception. Wifi calling not dropping out in the middle of phone calls now also. The only problem is I can't keep away from ICS so I'm just not using it until something gets adjusted.
Problem: I am using my laptop (using office network) with windows 7 as a WiFi hotspot for my mobile. It connects and works till my phone is on display, if my phone display goes off then WiFi get disconnects and I need to turn of and on again in my phone to get connected.
This is happening only in all ICS/JB ROM's i have tried. Normal WiFi hotspot with modem works well.
It works very good with GB ROM's.
Any solution on this issue is much appreciated... I mean the ROM developers consider this and implement a solution to help.
Thanks....

Setting
This is a setting in most ICS/JB roms : Settings > Wifi > Advanced > Enable Wifi during sleep
Mind though that in ICS/JB there are sometimes issues with data and/or Wifi. This might be a bug in the used ISC rom. Did you try different ICS roms ?
Anyone else with this rom had any issues with reconnection to wifi after restart? When i restart my phone, the wifi is turned on, but it doesn't connect till i go in and tell it to connect to my home wifi. It shows that its still a saved connection too. I experimented a little and noticed its only on the 5g band and that the 2.4g band seems to work fine.

It has been mentioned multiple times: there is a known issue with 4.2.1 based ROMs reconnecting automatically to 5Ghz bands. All of them.

Do you mean 4.1.2? Because this isn't 4.2.1.
For the OP - I haven't had any issues connecting to the WiFi on CleanRom 3.5. Just did a reboot for the heck of it and it obtained an IP right away and worked flawlessly.

are you using a 5g wifi band or 2.4g?
I have the same issue on all 4.1.2 roms I've tried including stock and clean rom.
What router are you using? I have an Asus rt-n66u with custom firmware.

Static ip won't help, yes you can connect to wifi, but cannot get connection to internet. This is a bug of android, and ITs in Princeton univ. had some investigation. It's due to renew and release of address. 4.2 should have fixed it

Yes, of course. Fat fingered that. 4.1.2 has the issue.
