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.

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.

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.

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((
Hey im from UK and I used to be rooted before ics. I used to flash custom roms etc etc. Today I decided to update to ICS via pc companion. I love ics but my WiFi interferes with my computer!
How can I fix this? My WiFi was fine before the update. Cheers

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!

Dear Experts out there
I also have HTC One VX - I don't live in US therefore I had to sim unlock the device, which I did.
I was able to successfully S-Off the device and changed the Super CID to 22222222 and flash CWM Recovery.
Everything works fine except the wifi on my 2G network Sim.
Note: Wifi works without sim, wifi works with AT&T sim but wifi does not works with my country network sim. Only 2g network is available in my country.
Workaround: I use AT&T sim for wifi to work and quickly swap it with my Network SIM and wifi works until the phone is switched off or restarted.
I need permanent solution for this if anyone can help or know what is the reason behind wifi not working with my 2G based Network Sim

This sounds odd. Are you running a stock ROM or custom? And would you be able to pull a log for us?
Using custom rom, tried many roms same response, what logs u want me to pull

Sorry, a logcat. Just download catlog from the market. Make sure to reproduce the problem. Then go into catlog, press the menu button, and hit save. Then upload here so we can have a look.

Hey MansonDroid
Any update over the logs?
Did you find anything odd?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I have but I'm not quite sure what it is associated with. Trying to do some research on the subject. For now, do a nandroid backup and try flashing a different ROM if you haven't tried already to see if it helps.

Thanks for your followup. Well i have tried two to three roms, the problem exists in all of them.

Are you running Jmz's kernel? Did you make sure you successfully changed the Cid on the phone? Did you try and S-OFF?
Sent from my HTC One VX using xda app-developers app
This is what I found odd:
Unable to open connection to supplicant on "wlan0":No such file or directory, retry 0
I want to say it has something to do with the WiFi driver? Which has something to do with the kernel I believe? Don't know too much about low low level things.

Hey. If you would have read above, I have said i have done all the things u are saying.

Well thanks for your feedback, this info is reasonable for me I guess. If it is what you are saying maybe trying more kernels. Maybe something will help.
Thanks for all the followup u have carried, appreciated

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.
The people at orange just seemed extremely confused...

When I was on the stock ROM I do not have this problem but now I use PureSlim-KitKat R1 ROM and I have same problem with SMS so I do not think it is network problem.

I have no idea what could be the problem because we use totally different ROMs. But as I said I don't think it's network problem because I try few ROMs and never have this problem until now.

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.
