Can anyone confirm if wifi disconnection problem has been fixed with the 2.3.3 update? Thanks
Well I flashed 2.3.3 2 days after I got my Arc, and I've never faced the wifi problem, guess it is fixed?
(Do you mean the one where it disconnects while downloading large files? Mine still gets disconnected about once in 2 days)
Its the one when arc keeps dropping the wifi connection. When wifi sleep policy set to 'never' and yet it drops it almost every time the home button is pressed after the screen has gone off.
Exactly that problem I am still having with my 2.3.3 arc
Mine is better
After upgrading to 2.3.3 it did not seem to improve at all for me, still randomly drops the connection, despite the wifi icon in the status bar still showing as connected. I returned the phone to vodafone yesterday who denied any knowledge of the problem despite so many people on the net complaining about it. They've sent it back for repair now anyway, fingerscrossed they sort something out, but i'm not too optimistic to be honest.
Still have wifi problem here after 2.3.3. Hope they'll fix it's soon

Seemed my router was indeed the problem (Dlink DIR-655).
The time the router ran in was somewhere in 2004, so maybe that caused the Arc to not be connected properly. Weird that laptops and the X10 mini we have don't had any problems with it.
@Roel_1982
what did you do to your router to fix your problem?
Did you change some settings?
Or did you get a new router?

There is no wifi disconnection problem with the Arc. I can confirm this because I use my device mainly through wifi when I listen for hours to online radio stations and haven't faced a single disconnection problem.
yup, still drop out ... GB 2.3.3 hk .145 firmware, TP-Link modem router.
Change wireless router to "g" mode and works ok. It seems to have problem with "N"

I adjusted the time, to update automatic.... also gave my Arc a fixed address through DHCP.
Ever since no problems with the connection. Maybe you could see if there are firmware updates for you're router available.
Update: got the problem again 2.3.3... screen went off, came back on... wifi seems to be connected in the status bar, but it's not
test this http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...PrRWuDqnnVcDpBYIA&sig2=uxmWpCo5pLQ9vBzEpDEqzQ
it may help
Still have the same problem after 2.3.3 on Xperia Neo. =(
Try to turn off WMM in the QoS section of your router. It worked perfect for me. No more drops or disconnections. It's because of poor implementation of WMM in Xperia WLAN driver.
i just flashed the firmware using SEUS, and i dont have wifi disconnections anymore, i think its something to do with flashing the firmware via flashtool o rosmething

My Arc never had a problem with wifi and it doesn't on 2.3.3 either
Something that has worked for a few of us is switching the router to just wpa.

I have 2 sony arc phones, both through rogers.
one device has 2.3.2, and the other has 2.3.3 (OTA upgrade)
I read a lot about people having wifi disconnection problems with these phones, and that 2.3.3 was supposed to fix it. I find it rather odd that my problem seems to be the opposite. the device with 2.3.2 has no issues at all.
i've tried with 3 different routers, and they all have the same result. (actiontec v1000H, netgear wndr3700, and dlink dir 655)
so far, i've tried the rogers 2.3.3, the O2 2.3.3 and the generic NA 2.3.3, and all of them have the wifi disconnect problem. yes when i flash back to the generic 2.3.2 the wifi works fine.
this happen to anyone else ?
yes. ever since upgraded to 2.3.3., wifi seems to disconnect more often. reconnects after i go into wifi settings. on 2.3.2 it stayed connected all the time.
O2 generic firmware btw.
i caller Rogers about it, explained all the troubleshooting I did. (minus the fact that i downgraded the FW) and they offered to replace my device. I found this a little odd.
the new phone would ship with rogers 2.3.3 installed right ?
and they don't officially support a downgrade, so really, how is that going to help anything ?
here is to hoping they get cm7 working 100%.
yeh i have the same problem to with my rogers arc, it was fine before, but now it would disconnect. I notice it to happen when i download large files like 10mb or more or when i watch youtube videos or stream other stuff, its kinda annoying to, im gonna try getting my phone replaced and we'll see what happens

well i seem to have fixed it by changing some router settings. i took the "N" mode off. set the router to 54 only. and also change dthe encryption from wpa2 to just wpa. that seems to have fixed it for me.
Adjusted settings here, so far so good.
Nice bit of advice mate.

Confirmed in 2 other routers now, it just doesn't like wpa2.

i have trouble with wifi connection. my phone was very near from wifi moderm but when i watched youtube or connected internet in short time ( about 10 mins ) then my phone lost connection to moderm and notification of connection was " out of range ". Someone can tell me why and how to fix, and if i up my phone to .587, is the proble will be fix ?
sorry for my wrong english and thanks everyone can help me
Have you tried to reboot your phone ? Device has the ability to adjust it antenna power depending on signal strength, and by being to close to access point it may gone in a very low antenna power.
You should consider upgrading you Baseband .

I gave similar problem with my phone on the same firmware. WiFi just goes off and comes back on by it self. It's really annoying issue and if you guys now how to fix it I would appreciate it. I just switched to Arc S few days ago from Galaxy S and still finding my way around this forum so any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

it's common bug among a lot of arc s users apparently either rebooting your phone or turning off and on the wifi will probably get rid of the issue
Hmm, i think only my phone has this problem, when everytime it was out of connection range, i had to restart the moderm and then my phone was connected wifi as usual. May be i will try to up the phone to .587 but i will lose many modification as toggle,... So is there any way to up firmware without losing modification

You can also try to flash a different baseband. It helped my WiFi range on my LT15i improve slightly so that I can now hold on to a steady signal in locations of the house where I couldn't before on the stock baseband.

AFAIK baseband has nothing to do with wifi.

will systemui.apk of 431 work on 587?
hi
my lt18i connects good to wifi aps (tolerable, but nothing like my laptop), but gb roms i have tested cant connect to the same ap at the same location. i tried stock.69, xgamer1.8 and acronium8.2 but all are the same.
a noob question: is it kernel related or rom related? i dont remeber my kernels but now i have adv.stock and my rom is miui4. i think i had doomkernel for my gb roms (except stock rom).
but in ics roms it is torelable. anyone having same issues?
my wifi ap security is wpa2/peap and i have to use proxy for inet access.
another off-topic: do i have to use proxydroid for gb roms, since they dont have proxy option in wifi?
Public wifi? Like in a cafe or shoppingcenter?

Proxy is a whole different thing, you won't need that.
What is exactly the problem? Wifi not turning on or not connecting or what?
If WiFi cannot be turned on, make sure you have proper WiFi modules installed, download them from the kernel topic together with kernel.
With my GB ROM I get 15mb/s+ download...
DoomKernel + modules + My rom

I'm experiencing the same problem too. At my work place, we have wifi to be shared with employees. I can see the wifi in wifi settings and can connect to it when I'm on ICS, so do the others (even laptop can connect to it without problem). But, when I use GB ROM (whatever the ROM is) with stock's or doom's kernel, I can't see the wifi in wifi settings even the wifi is still on. I can turn on my wifi but my device seems cannot catch the wifi. This is weird.

wifi turns of correctly, and find some networks, but not the one i want.
i use proxydroid and it is fine, so forget about proxy. i just asked if gb has something builtin for proxy (like ics) or not...

it is not public, university wireless network...
now i am fine with ics, but gb roms are better (more battery and speed).
Well, the only problem I had, was with Ad-hoc networks. My University switched to a open wireless network as soon as I got my smartphone luckily :victory:
However, if you try again with a GB rom, it might be worth to give it a shot to the contents in this page, Androidproxy Blogpost
I haven't faced the problem myself, it justs happens that I searched in google. I think you did that already(?)
Good luck
Edit: I'll add some questions while there's time for it?
1) Did you flash the proper wifi modules each time?
2) Can you access wifi networks different than those with proxy?
i installed lupusv10 yesterday and keep having weird wifi problems with uhd rom!!!
I also installed the wifi module.
When i turn on my wifi all my connections in the area keeps switching,
also when i try to connect to my home network it won't let me.
I also tried to reset via terminal but no succes.
Same problem happend when on stock ICS .587 generic.
Hope someone had the same problem before (i really want wifi on my Phone)
Thx for help...

Translate, what does that mean?

2nd in the list switches to the 3nd , then 4th goes to 2nd.... (keeps on going) verry weird, maby i should make a vid of it.
If you mean the list of networks keeps changing, it is because the signal strength might be changing and Android does list them by showing the stronger ones first.
