Unstable Wi-Fi - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings, gentlemen.
I'm having a problem with my wireless network.
Whenever I try to load Facebook app(the official), it will just stay there and do nothing. At the same time, there'll be a floating tile(don't know whatit's called, but that lil' black square at the bottom screen) that says "cannot load Facebook"(or something like that).
Facebook is just an example. It happens in a bunch of other apps, such like GLoft games; I cannot download the freekin' SD data for the games, because the download will be aborted every 30 seconds.
I've tried different wifi fix apps, but just as I suspected, they don't work.
This isn't a rom/kernel related problem.
My internet is 8mb, and it's pretty fast on my computer.
I'd appreciate if someone answered

What ROM and Kernel are you using at the moment?
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk

DiMiui (Gingerbread) and Doomkernel(also tried Blend).
But it has happened with every kernel and rom.
Also I found that mobile data is 'stable'. I could download Gloft sd data, but my plan is only 512kb so it's slow.

Android Market stopped to work

Last 2 days android market stopped to work. It is unable to download the apps.. any
Obviously the connection and blackdroid's market works, did u have the same issue?
i dont have any issues here, have you tried connecting to wifi to double check connection?
I'm also having issues with the Market since yesterday. When I go to the Downloads tab, it gives a Network error. But works after few tires.
Maybe similar issue as me? I have 16MB free ATM and it just shows any app as continuous downloading without any progress or download since yesterday using WiFi. Removing 22MB apps like Google Earth resolves nothing. With t-mobile here.

I've 20MB internal and I cleaned cache and data, but the official market still doesn't work.. argh. All the rest is OK
My issue was fixed on a reboot, tested twice... on both periods it was RAM being near fully used halting market. Looks as if some app was leaking heavily. Everything installed fine now.

Happened to me to and a reboot solved it. I think times like that require a task manager. Only time i'd use one.
I've 40Mb free and rebooted several times but the bug is still here
Hard reset seems the only way
it started to work again and idont know why. maybe on button plus hold menu worked then

Phone gets stuck in "upload mode"

Been having a weird issue with my phone lately. I'm rooted, s-off, running stock 2.2, no custom kernel.
Lately what will happen is my phones 3G won't work for loading pages, apps, streaming video as it'll be stuck "uploading". By that I mean the upstream arrow will either stay lit or blink. I've tried to pin point an app that would be doing it with no success. It'll do it for a minute sometimes two then work normally. Seems to happen most often when I wake the phone. Any thoughts?

Hmm, sounds like it might be some app, or service phoning home and hanging. Try using a process manager app to see if you can detect which apps and services are running when your phone is doing that. Try killing all nonessential services, then see if the condition persists. If no, then reactivate one service at a time until it does. If the problem persists after killing all nonessential services, have a look at running processes, and kill any that seem suspicious. Once you know which app, service l, or process is the offending party, try uninstalling the related app.
Hope that's helpful.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
So after a few weeks of trying, killing apps or processes does nothing to stop the issue. Its very random when it happens and when it does I can do nothing that uses 3G.
Anyone else have an idea?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Is there an app that will show what's using my network in real time? Not a stats app but actual, current usage.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Could it be PRL and location based? Starting to get real frustrating.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Sorry you're still having trouble
Hi Phaded,
Sorry that my suggestion yielded no positive results for you. If you've killed all non-essential services and processes, and it's still appears to be "uploading," something is definitely not right. I don't think it's PRL, but I personally don't know enough about how the radio works to say for sure.
At this point, you could try a different ROM. If you don't already have it, I recommend ROM Manager root. It's totally worth the $ and is available on Android Market. It makes trying different ROMs really easy.
Trying a new ROM would also effectively reinstall your radio, which might do the trick. Before you flash a new ROM, do a nandroid backup from recovery, and backup your apps with Titanium Backup, which is another must-have, IMO.
If all else fails, RMA? It could be hardware... A genius with this stuff I am not, but I have beaten my head against many a wall..
Good luck!
I installed Virtuous 3.1 last night and so far so good. Going to keep an eye out for the rest if the day so hopefully it is fixed.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
24 hours and no issue with it. This was a multiple time a day occurrence so safe to say it resolved itself.
Sent from my Virtuous Incredible
Congrats Phaded!
Welcome to the ranks of the Virtuous! Glad to hear it's resolved.
Now you've got ROM Manager, you can safely try a host of different ROMs and themes. I recommend the Revolutions theme on top of Virtuous - it's very pretty.
Best,

Having same "stuck in upload mode" issue
I have a non-rooted, stock G2 (from T-Mobile) running Android 2.2.
Every day, as many as twenty or thirty times per day, the phone gets stuck in "upload" mode. The data icon shows that data is uploading (or trying to) and I am unable to use any data-related services (whether tethered or on the phone itself). When it happens it can last anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes. The only way I can forcibly stop it is to completely shut down the radio by toggling airplane mode off then on, forcing the phone to reacquire a data signal.
I've tried resetting the phone, deleting every app, reinserting the SIM card, and even formatting the SD card. Nothing seems to work to solve the issue.
My two main concerns are that 1) I can't reliably download apps, check mail, send pics/videos, or other data-related processes. 2) I'm concerned that if something IS uploading, it may be uploading a LOT and adding to my 5GB per month throttle-cap on T-Mobile.
I've ended every endable process, and killed or uninstalled every app possible (I can't seem to remove bloatware without rooting, which I'm not yet eager to do as this phone is less than 60 days old, and I'm otherwise happy with it as is).
Any suggestions or recent information as to why this is occurring?

[Q] Android Market Download Problem - Yes another thread!

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere. I searched and searched on XDA forums and Google forums but nothing relevant to ICS.
Basically, I can't download any apps from the Android Market. Almost every app starts downloading and then just stops after the first few kilobytes and it keeps saying downloading for hours.
This happens on wifi only and it can't be to do with the router because it happens on any wifi network I've tried.
I also get lots of Connection Timed Out errors when using the Market.
I've tried different ROMs, different radios, different Google accounts but nothing seems to help.
It actually happens about 90% of the time. The rest of the time, all works well or otherwise I have to switch to 3G to download apps.
No point suggesting uninstalling the Market Updater, clearing Cache and Data etc. It doesn't work.
Definitely a beer for anyone who can sort this out.
all I can suggest is clearing/wiping everything from every CWM menu, and if a completely fresh ROM and kernel doesn't work - it is a hardware problem and you need a new phone.
Try clearing cache and data. And then uninstalling market. If no work, try a fresh rom install with a wipe before and after.

I think it is the router at work. Tried again at home and it works. What's up with the work router?

Your router at work my be blocking the ports the market uses.

[Q] No connection- Retry error on google apps with 2G/3G

I am at my wits end here.
I changed operators about a month ago, from a weak operator to the best operator in my Country(with the strongest signal). Ever since then, I don't know if it's a coincedence, I am experiencing this incredibly annoying error. Ironically, with my previous operator who had a much worse signal this never happened before. The only difference here is that my previous operator used a regular micro SIM card and my new operator is using something called USIM. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
It doesn't happen every time, it's really sporadical, sometimes it works everytime, sometimes it doesn't. I open Gmail and I receive a "No connection" and a retry button. I go to Play Store and get the same thing, my Gtalk gets disconnected. I hit the retry button and sometimes it connects immediatelly and sometimes I have to tap it numerous times.
What's weird about it, I always have the strongest HSDPA signal, full bars and browsing the web works. It's just the Google apps that get disconnected. It is incredibly annoying.
Things I have tried to solve this:
1. Clear cache and data for all gapps
2. Clear dalvik
3. messed with my APN settings(they are 100% correct, checked with the operator)
4. Full wipe
5. Repair with PC Companion with no additional apps installed.
6. New SIM from my operator
Nothing has helped. This keeps happening. I have no idea what to do.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? Any idea is appreciated. I am running ICS 6.1.A.2.55.
Thanks
I get the same problem sometimes. Usually while activating wifi, but it happens when i'm on 2G/3G as well. Totally random and i'm on a weaker operator.
On 2.55 as well (no mods at this moment), with ics17 kernel

Never got that on WiFi. :-/
Maybe Google is blocked its services for your operator. Try psiphon3 for android and "Tunnel whole device".

Could you please elaborate on this? How does this app work, what's the point? I just installed it and I'm not sure what I will accomplish with this.
Run the app and check the "Tunnel whole device". When it is successfully connected, a green dot will appear.
After that, test Google apps.
Report result please.

I don't see how this can help me as my problem is not losing internet connectivity overall, it's gapps not connecting. Web browsers work all the time.

so, anything from google (stock browser, youtube, gmail, play store) are having retry error ? but apps like whatsapp, viber, opera browser just run flawlessly ? if thats the problem.. like i mention above, download 3g reconnect. the apps seems to force google apps to use data connection instead staying idle.
i recommend that apps bcause im having the same problem, having retry error on youtube and play store, and gmail just wont sync but opera and whatsapp run like normal.
read the description on that apps before download.

I have been given a solution in the most unexpected of places....Sony support forums!
Try removing proxy/port from the APN and see if that helps.
It sure did help, never had the error again.

Delete host file from system/etc/
It may work

if your answer is yes then open your app manager and uninstall all of the browsers except the stock one then clear data and force stop it then reopen it through your app drawer and try again
I've tried clear cache I've tried removing all browsers and it downloads like half a mb then ends and I can't resume I don't have wifi at home but works at McDonald's just fine.... This didn't happen until my phone got messed up and I had to factory reset not sure what to do I'm on 2g anyways until after midnight Sunday might have to wait till then.
