[Q] WiFi kinda problem. - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright, this is not like the biggest problem, but I would certainly like to know if it happens to anyone else, and is it possible to be solved.
So, my WiFi connection is very good, actually router is in my room, and I don't have problem connecting to it, but just a little annoying thing.
When I go out of the house, of course, I lose connection, but when I get back, I see that phone HAS reconnected itself to my home network, but then I try going to some website, and it says it has no connection. In order to make it work I have to turn WiFi off and then back on.
It's not that big of a deal, I didn't even care to post this so far, but it's getting kinda annoying, if I lose connection for 1 sec it's done, it can't reconnect correctly.
I installed WiFi Manager app, but it didn't change anything, it just makes it easier to connect to WiFi again.
So, my question is: Has this ever happened to you, and how can I solve this, is there any way?
Hopefully you can take a bit of your time and read this whole post, and help me.
Thanks in advance

Loss the use of wifi a few days after updating to EK02 Modem

So, I upgraded my modem to EK02 a few days ago, and everything was going great; now, suddenly, today, I can not use my home wifi any more..It connects, as always, but, when connected to wifi, I can't use any data functions; no email, no speed tests, nothing..
As soon as I turn off wifi, everything works perfectly again..
I've updated my profile, and pro, and tried all the obvious fixes, but no go.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thank you!
Did you reboot your router? This happens to me maybe once a month or so. I unplug the router, plug it back in, and all works well. Seems to be worse now that I have more neighbors with their wifi networks going banging on the channel I use for wifi.
well, it ends up that the wifi section on my router went to hell today, which was weird, because it showed me as connected, but, replaced it tonight and wifi works great again!
MOD you can lock/delete this thread if you want to!
for what its worth, my wifi connection has been dropping nonstop in the same place where my Epic and iphone 4s work flawlessly. Im less than thrilled with this, but I haven't gotten LOS yet so I can't complain too much.

I wouldn't lock or delete this thread as it might help others if they experience something like this. You might want to change the title though or at least put solved in it. This way people will not think it is the modem's fault as the title suggests.

WiFi Connected but no Internet Access

My WiFi eventually stops working. It's been working fine for two months but for these last two weeks, it would not connect to any wifi network, regardless if it were home, someone else's home, or even the wifi at my school.
If it helps any, I'm running juggernaut 4.1 with bullet kernel.
I've looked around to the related threads but there was never a solid fix. Anyone have any insight on my problem?
bump? Any help?
Well if a clean instal doesnt fix it your phone probably needs replacing

It works like 75% of the time. It works when I reset it sometimes. It's not a "never works" type of thing. Do I still really need to replace my phone?
I have a smiliar problem, Once I disconnect from Wi-Fi and then try to connect to any network, it would say it's connected with full signal strength yet there would be no connection...
Not exactly sure if that's the problem you're having, but so far the fix I've found for my problem is to boot into recovery, wipe battery stats and fix permissions and then it's good to go. Only problem is it sucks having to reboot your phone everytime you have to connect to a new Wi-Fi network...
I had the same problem as you. The wifi icon had all the signal but still did work just on my phone... I tested it on my PC and it was all fine. I decided to go back to stock then reroot again. It fix it a little bit bit still happens sometimes
I suggested unroot it via Odin then test the issue for a few days on stock. Just to see what the problem is. Then root if wish

Weird... I seem to have this problem too!
Sometimes my WiFi says connected Excellent connection, but it does not work. I know my internet works because my PC works fine.
I just disconnect WiFi and use 4G, yeah it's a lot slower, but it is manageable.
WiFi seems to randomly want to work.

Yeah it sucks... It was working normally before but not its mess up
I still haven't found a solution to this problem. My only solution has been to disable wifi, turn on data, turn off data, turn wifi back on, and it will work.
With this information, does anyone know what's wrong? I have restored back to my freshly rooted nandroid and wiped and reflashed to three different roms, all with the same wifi issue.
Is there anyone with a solution?
Try this:
turn off wifi, then...
in adb shell:
su
rm /data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-eth0.lease
rm /data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-eth0.pid
or:
if you dont want to use shell, get Root Explorer (or equivalent) and navigate to /data/misc/dhcp/ and delete those files.
then:
restart wifi. You may need to reboot.

I can't find those files. They don't seem to exist in my phone.
So far the only way I have been forced to turn on airplane mode and switch it off to use my wifi. I have to do this every half an hour or so. Does anyone have a more permanent solution?
same issue here. on wifi or on data, it will just drop, even though i have full wifi bars. I get between 75-100% packet loss. Sometimes jumping to airplane mode and back fixes it. Sometimes jumping to data and back to wifi, rebooting fixes it.....it seems.....for a while. Tried multiple roms/kernels. Same issue. during all this, my phone will try to sync data (2 gmail accounts) and just chug and chug, heat up my phone, and drain my battery. Any ideas?
I deleted those files, rebooted, lets see what happens.
T-mobile my account..... Do u have it installed? If so freeze it or uninstall it and problem will go away. I had same problem made a thread and posted my findings and turned out lots of people had similar issue of wifi sometimes working or both data and wifi signal showing when only wifi supposed to be on, wifi losing connection after a little bit. etc. In the end tmobile my account was the culprit
nope. No tmo my account, no green (or whatever) battery saver.
Deleted those files, and still had issues yesterday and today.
I had this problem. turns out my sgsii wasn't playing nice with my wrt 400n, gradually lost connection more frequently. flipped back to the trusty linksys g router, never had a problem since. I think it has something to do with n.
Turns out that it happens with all routers - for me anyway. It just loses internet every 20 minutes or so even while I'm still connected to the router.

[Q] ICS 4.04 (basebad I927UCLJ4) WIFI issue?

**Baseband I927UCLJ3** sorry if that threw anyone off.
Hey guys, I am wondering if anyone has experienced any wifi connectivity issues on the new update.
I dont have any issues connecting to wifi, but for some reason, it wont stay connected for very long. It seems like after I go out of range, it simply wont connect to anything, and I have to manually connect to my network.
The problem is I have been blowing through my data plan, thinking I'm on wifi, since everywhere I go I am normally on wifi. But in actuality, because my phone hasnt been auto connecting to the networks, I have gone through half of my data plan in about a week.
This has only happened since the 2nd release of ICS. The first one work fine for me (expect the black light issue, which I didnt really care that much about).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I believe wifi has nothing to do with baseband. Probably there is something wrong with your phone and the new kernel wifi driver...
I'd try removing the access point and re-creating it, and playing with the advanced wifi settings.
Also, try rebooting the router/wifi access point.

Thanks for the info!!! I looked more closely into the settings and for some reason it was set to turn off wifi when sleeping.
I feel a little stupid, but I'm glad I got it sorted out.
I really appreciate the help.

[Q] Major WiFi issue out of nowhere?

Hey all. I need some advice. This morning my G3 (D850) dropped WiFi connection for no reason. It says the signal is good but the network info says saved, secured. It will attempt to connect over and over again and if it does connect the signal is weak as can be and it drops the connection within 2 seconds. My coworker has a G3 also and is connected to the same work network I am. His connection says excellent where as mine said good. His device connects just fine with full bars. I'm baffled. I've already tried manually selecting 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz instead of auto select and that didn't help at all. I've tried manually turning off WiFi and turning it back on. I've tried turning airplane mode on and then off to refresh the connection and that didn't help. I've done a battery pull as someone in one of the android authority forums suggested that (apparently I am not the only one having this issue.), didn't work. I've unchecked WiFi optimization - no dice. There was another post on a different forum here on XDA that said turning off WiFi and then deleting the WiFi config folder located in data/etc/wifi and then rebooting fixed the issue for them so I tried that. After reboot when I tried to turn on WiFi my G3 rebooted itself. Does it everytime. SO, I had to restore to a nandroid backup (btw I'm on rooted stock 10f) to get the phone to stop hating my WiFi toggle attempts. Last ditch effort I did a factory reset hoping for an easy fix... Nope. I don't know what else to try. It was fine yesterday all day. This morning it was perfectly fine and then randomly started having this issue. I haven't altered any system files whatsoever. I really don't want to send my device to LG for warranty replacement so I'm hoping someone can help me out that may have had this issue and resolved it. The only difference between my device and my coworkers device is he is still on 10d and I am on 10f. That could be the issue I guess but that doesn't really explain why my device has been perfectly fine until this morning and I've been on rooted 10f for weeks. I am planning on flashing back to straight bone factory stock 10d when I get home here in a few hours from work but Idk if that will help or not. Judging from the amount of google search results of "LG G3 WiFi connection problems" this seems to be an issue for several people. I won't know if it's on the software side or hardware side until I get home but in the meantime has anyone had these issues at all? People have had success in changing to Static IP but I would have to do that for every connection I attempt to connect to and that's a pain in the a$$. Also, that does nothing to identify the root cause of the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Thanks for the reply. So it turned out my phone just randomly decided it doesn't like my work network anymore. Idk why lol. I got home and it hooked right into WiFi. Gf's WiFi and open networks as well. I call shenanigans. I went ahead and flashed back to 10d anyway though.

I am having the same issue! But it is happening in other networks too...sometimes I get the phone to connect but it only works for a while and when I check the networks it only says Saved, even if I try to connect again
Having the same issue, whether at work or home, my wifi has become near useless. I've even gone as far as trying a different ROM. Didn't work.
Same thing here
I also have tried factory reset, installed a new ROM, changed settings in my router... but the problem remains I don't know what to do anymore, I use wifi a lot!! I searched through other topics but no one seem to know how to solve it. Unfortunately my warranty already expired, I took my phone to some technicians but honestly it didn't help at all...they all said it was a software bug and I should wait for an update but if it was just that a new ROM would fix it,right?
I am not very familiar with phone hardware but I assume that if it was a hardware problem I wouldn't be able to turn it on or connect to any network, right?? (any experts here???)
Any solution is welcomed.
anyone please?? :crying:
P.S : I tried a new baseband, new kernel and new ROMs. So far, nothing changed.
I can connect sometimes but get kicked out within minutes. At other times I only get the saved,secured message.
This is happening in every network

Wifi problems AGAIN.

Hey everyone,
I recently made another topic about my WiFi going off. The problem fixed itself and now it has decided to come back, I'm starting to get to a point now where I just wanna throw it at a wall its so irritating I've installed MULTIPLE rom's on my phone and the problem is still persisting. In my room, I sleep near the WiFi so there is no problem it will work great but when I go to another room say for instance the kitchen it will cut off instantly the phone knows my WiFi is there but it will refuse to connect at all even when i forget Wifi I retype it in it will still happen. I've looked at different topics on google but none of them help me. Is there anything out there that can fully resolve this issue. Please.
Thank You.
