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

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.

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((

I see many of them are complaining about the wifi bug in ICS.. Its a common problem i see.. Wait for Sony to fix the bug but it'll take decades.. A fix should arrive soon though.. I think the problem might be with the baseband!

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.

Hi!
I've installed several custom ROMs on my Wildfire S. Jelly King, JellyFish, Marvellous, Sense 5, Speed Droid, MIUI, Paranoid Android, CM10 Nightlies, and other ones that now I forgot. On each one of them I have the same issue: When I turn the phone's screen off, after a while (sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 10 or 15), Wi-Fi connection stops working, I stop receiving messages (WhatsApp, Facebook, GTalk, etc). If I turn on the screen, the notification bar shows that Wi-Fi is online and working, but it's not, i.e. I open GTalk and it's disconnected, I open a website and have connection error. I have to wait or turn it off and then on again in order to get Wi-Fi working again. On every ROM I tried I checked the Wi-Fi always connected option to be selected, so that's not the solution. I also tried various"keep wifi alive" apps, and no luck. Same thing happens with Mobile Data.
With stock ROMs, everything works perfect.
My radio version is the latest available (Radio_47.23g.35.3038H_7.57.39.15M), I updated it a few months ago. My original stock ROM was 1.76 version (Brightstar Personal, Argentina).
I want to know if this is a common error or if I'm having something wrong and it can be solved. I'd really appreciate any help to get rid of this trouble.
Thanks in advance!!

Yes, I think Mobile Data bug is one of the most important bugs of JB roms too, and It's usually ignored.
I have to try WeFi Pro for some hours or a day to say if it works or not. So tomorrow there'll be news
Tried WeFi Pro for a day, once or twice I lost connection as always. What could be done to solve this? I'm a developer but never touched nothing android related, maybe something can be done with source code.
Strange using this app I didn't had any issues...

Well, I flashed eXistenz v2 JB custom ROM but the 2G issue is not resolved. Though it's not as worse as it was in the official Sony JB firmware, 2G still goes into dormant mode sometimes.
What's puzzling me is, 2G worked seamlessly on ICS and it still works that way when you roll back (yeah, I tested this); Bobber says baseband is not the issue, then what the heck is causing this?
Insights requested from anyone who can help. I am ready to experiment, in fact I am posting this after I did a lot of that.
P.S.: Bobber, please share how to flash ICS baseband on JB. I'll try that nevertheless.
Hi all.
My xperia s has been a joy to use until the past week or so...
The problem being that, if somebody was to send me a text message I'd receive it once.
Then read it
Then the exact same message would come through again 3 minutes later.
Its quite annoying!
Can anybody give me information on possibly getting rid of this bug?
Thanks

There are two possibilities
a) It is a network error
b) It is a software error
Possible Solution
a) Take a look at your phone bill, check and make sure you are NOT being billed/counted for the two excess texts.
1) If you are being charged, then your service provider is making the mistake and you can probably easily make a request and ask them to fix this issue.
b) If it is a software related issue, i would HIGHLY recommend re-flashing the stock FTF for the Sony Xperia S
1) You will need a stock FTF of whatver Firmware you choose that was made for the Xperia S (JB/ICS/GB)
2) You will need a version of Flashtool
3) Backup and Flash
Hi
My network doesn't charge for receiving text messages.
And on the grounds of software, I have totally reset the phone already, which I thought would solve the problem.
Also, I have never flashed my xperia s before, I've always used PC companion or OTA updates to do the Job.
Would I be able to flash if I have a locked boot loader?
And a sim lock?
Thanks
Yes you would, I use the flashtool and I have sim lock and LB
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Yes you can use flash tool but you must use correct firmware for phone and correct baseband for your network. Example : I must use the international firmware to access my LTE settings

Ok, Will the information of the baseband and firmware version be stored in the "About phone" section??

Unless it started happening immediately after you changed something on the phone, I'd go with a) as being by far the most likely. I've seen multiple SMS deliveries several times on my various phones and on my partner's (a Nokia 3310, which has barely enough software on it to have room for a bug!) It's always been a Vodafone glitch, nothing to do with the phone - witness the fact that it's happened on a number of different phones over the years.
If I were you I'd call Orange and let them know that it's happening. I'd certainly do that before fiddling about with the firmware on the phone.
You need to search for yourself which Firmware Version is adapted to your specific phone company
Unless you have 4G LTE, you can flash any fw that was built for your phone.
(4G LTE owners are the ones that must worry about baseband)
HOWEVER if you want your phone to be fixed immediately and want a LTE data fix later, then simply reflash any fw built for phone. (then you will only have 3G)
You can fix this problem later

My phone stopped doing this problem for a while then came back packing a punch
I have recently reset the phone again, downloaded new messaging apps.
Even been to see orange and they have no idea why its happening.

Just to update everyone, I contacted my network.
They set up some settings from their end.
Told me to restart my phone, and claimed that my phone doesn't have a fault.
But 24 hours after I contacted them, the problem came back, but I got a double text message received rather than 4 which is nice I guess.
However this doesn't eliminate the problem.
