ICS WiFi - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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] WiFi not working after overclock

Hi,
I've recently overclocked my HTC Desire HD using clockworkmod with this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835616
After that, my WiFi suddenly stopped working. It could connect, scan; everything, except for browsing and going on the market, things that need an internet connection. (Yes, I did use other things like my iPad and it did work)
Then I tried to overclock through fastboot and adb with the same link. What happened then was that my WiFi died completely; it wouldn't even turn on. Only thing it did was saying "Error" (Actually it was "Fout" in Dutch, but would probably be "Error" if it was English).
Then I did what this topic said:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993981
I flashed the new file and my overclock did change; the max is now ~1.2 ghz.
But my WiFi still doesn't work. It turned back to how it was in the first stage; It can be turned on and off, scan; do everything that it normally would, only apps that need an internet connection won't work.
Anyone can help me?
Edit: I already tried a hard reset, and it doesn't work. My WiFi and overclock state doesn't change after a hard reset.
Edit 2: I FIXED MY PHONE!! Finally. So no need for you guys to help me anymore . And please don't say I didn't try hard enough, because I've spent at least 10 hours in this problem. (Yes, I am a noob )

I just started from scrap following new instructions from a new kernel. If you want to know which one:

So I didn't actually solve the whole problem since I wasn't able to run the 1.61ghz oc, but that's ok for me. Hope this helps.

I have been having this exact same problem since upgrading to Android Revolution HD (Gingerbread versions).
At the moment, the only fix I can find is to enter:
ip rule del from all lookup wifi
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In a terminal window everytime I connect to a new WiFi network.
If anyone can find a permanent solution to this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

That's weird. I'm running Android Revolution HD since yesterday and I didn't have any WiFi problems. If I were you, I would try to reflash. Also, have you tried to flash the recommended radio in the thread? I think that one of these 2 things should work.

I've tried numerous full wipes, different radios (including the recommended one) and still cannot get it to work without entering that terminal command.
I believe there are a few people with the same problem, yet it only seems to affect UK mobiles :/ ....

Avoided poor internet connection

It started today. Everytime I try to connect to my WiFi connection, it goes in a loop of connecting and disconnecting and finally it says "Avoided poor internet connection". After I click connect, the signal drops from maximum to 1 bar. I'm on Arconium ICS, but I've been using CM9 before and I had the same problem (that's why I switched to Arconium). This issue seems to be present in all the ICS ROMs. Any idea to fix it?

There is another solution made by Mike Duskis at android.stackexchange.com/questions/22848/what-does-avoided-poor-internet-connection-mean (xda forums won't let me post the whole link). The solution involves deleting the files inside folder /data/misc/dhcp
Assign Fixed IP address
Hey i had the same problem on both Stock Rom and CM9...i did delete the files in the DHCP folder...but the problem kept showing up every few days....but i solved it completely by assigning a fixed IP address to the network...on both the router and phone
so this is it
Your device manufacturer/model : mito a300
Your mobile operator : XL,simPATI (dual gsm)
A dump of system log messages. what message?
Your ROM information : sorry i dont know,but i use stock rom
What you've done and what's not working : turn of wifi and turn it on,do same with the router,wipe data (phone) , reflashing,and use your apps :crying:

Turn off WiFi setting
What has worked on several of my android devices and my Win 8 computer is:
go to "Settings" and turn off the wifi. Wait 30 seconds.
Turn it back on and most devices will quickly connect.
A simple fix for the devices in my house. Good luck!

[Q] Wifi and CM9

Hey,
After fresh install of FXP 128 my wifi worked for few hours, but later it refuses to connect to any wifi, because the "signal is too low" or something.. how to fix this?
Actually try getting close to your modem/router first and connecting again or if its still unable to connect reboot your phone

Already did that, didn't help.
Then CM9 probably has an issue with wifi, i guess you'll have to wait until an new RC comes out
Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28442213&postcount=2998
Delete /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp_list
I have no files in dhcp/
Another wifi problem
I was also having trouble getting wifi to work using JJ hybrid mix 3.1 + Arcknight kernel 3,3 and 3,4, had to use stock kernel
The solution from JJ'to reboot after installing he's kernel didn't work for me.
I've had cyanogenmod 7.2 installed prior JJ.
I've wanted to post this error to JJ's thread under development, but I don't have enough posts made.

I'm sorry for mistake. I used to have some similar funny situation... wifi in my brother's house is protected by WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] and my arc can't connect to him router (authorization problem ?!) . I have the same router and the same protection protocol and in my home wifi works good.
(Sorry for ungrammatical English)
I'm also having a poor signal even when my router is very close to me...I have 2 WiFi routers and from both I get the same issue...I have deleted the files on dhcp folder but doesn't have the dhcp_list folder neither...
I have installed CM9 and previously had SE standard ROM 4.0.4
Any idea what to do?

ive just read that the cyanogenmod 9 which im using already has its own kernel built in it, so im guessing it has the right one for it, but i cant use my wifi...
any suggestions?
just delete dhcp list and reboot phone
use root browser lite from google market, navigate to root: /data/misc/, delete dhcp folder, reboot phone.
omg, tnx so much for the info!!!
worked like a charm!
finally i got wifi back!
i'm going to borrow this thread, i have wifi problem too, yesterday i got connected to cable network, so now my router setting are on automatic dhcp-for cable, before was pppoe and that worked great, now on that dhcp can't get wifi to work, i can find my network and connect to it, but it's no internet. on the same rom and everything i got wifi working no problem, so the only problem here is that dhcp.
edit: my sister is having the same problem on samsung s8500 running bada and before network change he can connect to wifi with no problem, not it's the same as for me.
any ideas?

WiFi Problem
I can successfully connect to my WiFi network, but after about 5-10 minutes of browsing (when there is nothing loading and the phone is idle but the screen is on), I am unable to connect to the internet.
The WiFi icon shows that its is connected but I can't browse the net. Please suggest a fix.
Also tried using third-party apps like WiFi Fixer, but I had to click the widget once in a while for the WiFi to re-associate, i.e., the connection wasn't automatic. The WiFi sleep policy is set to never.
I am currently using a CM7 ROM.
