[Q] Arc WiFi Disconnect

Hi guys, I have a problem with my Arc connecting to my WiFi.
It connected the first time with no problems at all and I was able to browse for long with no disconnection. I manually disconnected and ever since it won't connect again. At my WiFi settings it keeps saying connecting. . . followed by disconnected over and over again.
I have searched the forum and googled and could not find the exact problem I'm experiencing.
I have tried 3 different firmware versions and it is the same problem on all of them.
I have cleared all user data and cleared the SD card with no success.
I have tried all the different security modes on my router (Billion 810 VGTX).
Also tried changing regulation domain as well as the channel ID.
My friend came over with his X10 and he connected fine until he disconnected manually and he now has the same problem, he can't get it to reconnect again.
So I think it must be the router if it is happening to both of us?
Please, if any of you geniuses can give opinions as to what could be the problem I would greatly appreciate it.
If I missed this in the search, I do apologize.
Regards
Rudi
Hi
I had similar problem. The previous release was ok for me: 4.0.2.A.368.
There might be an issue with the .283.

[Problem] No network/signal

Hi
Just got my new Samsung Galaxy Nexus today, but it cant find a network and have no signal.
I have tried to search for network in settings, but it comes up empty.
In the "about phone" page under signal it says -113db and 0 asu (varies a little bit, but not much)
I'm in Norway using OneCall, on the Telenor network, but the phone cant find any network.
The simcard works fine in other android devices.
The phone was sold as unlocked/simfree.
It says "onecall" on the bottom of the notification bar when I pull it down.
There are also apn settings for my simcard (looks like they are read from the simcard)
Wifi works great, and I can't see any other problems than that it cant find a network, but that is kind of a big problem since it is a phone!
I have rebooted multiple times, three factory resets, and tried with another simcard, but no luck.
Anyone have a idea what to try? should I try a custom rom? or do you think its a hardware problem?
I just saw "Telenor" when I searched for networks, but when I tried to connect it said it couldn't connect, and now I cant find it again.
Seems like I just have the worst possible antenna! (or radio?)
What type of phone did you have previously? Maybe you need an updated SIM card?
A new SIM card has solved this type of issue for quite a few people so give it a shot!

But it works in other phones like the HTC Desire and the old Hero.
I just drove into town, and I got a few bars, could make phone calls and so on.
But back home it still cant find a network.
Which leaves me to believe that the antenna (or the radio) is bad.
Do I have to root it and install a custom recovery to install the stock rom again?
Or is there a "rescue" solution? like on HTC devices.
Works fine here. Test a custom rom or another radio or something.. If it not works go back to stock and return it. I bought a HTC once with a bad antenna.
same problem
what did you end up doing kjetil84? I have the same problem. at home I have like no signal, but other places I have a litle. I use Talkmore witch also uses telenor.
an update would be great
That happened to me once before, try doing a factory reset.
still a problem
Just tried a factory reset, and it did not help
I love the phone, but at this time its not usable for me

HTC EVO 4G wifi antenna problem

Hi guys the past week I've bought HTC EVO 4G(used = no warranty).. it have the problem with wifi/bluetooth/fm radio ...
I was searching in a lot of forums and many people have this problem too but there not a specific fix, so I've opened the phone and watch for myself just to see if there's a problem with the hardware.... and I've discovered that my phone doesn't have the external antenna connector...
so I think that maybe I can fix the problem if I reemplace that part (antenna) but the problem here is that the part is not comercial.
so searching and searching I've discovered that this antenna is like that the phones have (it's a external connector but I've read if this connector get damaged the signal reception will fail) ... so maybe I can take from a old phone and remplace. or maybe do a bridge with other antenna on the phone(evo has about 6 on the mobo) like antena of gps. but really I don't know if this connector has especifications or if later this mod will give me problems.
Really I want to know if this is the problem... I thought that xda-developers is the place for my question get cleared.
ote: this is not software problem, because I have done: wipes, restores, rom(RUU too), kernals, radios... but no luck
other thing is that sometimes (randomly) the bluetooth/wifi turn on but the bluetooth doesn't scan and the wifi shows "unable to scan networks".
now logcat just shows "wifi driver load error end 2" (obviously there's more log about it)
this is the image of what I'm talking about (is not my pic but is edited)

Thanks
wow
i wish there was a fix, mine comes on but the fone has to be like 3 feet at max from the bluetooth device. and with wifi. the phone has to be in the same room as the router.im suprised xda doesnt have the answer. so many people have this issue

[Q] Xperia Play R800i Wifi Problem

Hi guys,
I am having problems with an Xperia Play R800i... The handset is currently running 2.3.4 but the same problem was present on 2.3.3 prior to updating the handset. I apologize if this has been covered before.
The problem is that the handset does not seem to pick up a wifi signal whatsoever. I have tested with several different routers as well as trying several different types of network (open, shared, WPA, WEP etc). I have also installed wifix manager but this has not helped.
The handset also cannot utilize the bluetooth.
I have since taken the handset apart to check for any loose connections and was very surprised to see that there is a "burn" on the inside of the casing behind the screen (near the sim slot) and there is also a burn on what looks like the wifi/bluetooth antenna.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same or similar issues? and also wonder if the burn is causing the problems with the wifi?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Wi-Fi 802.11n doesn't work with a Russian sim card, is there a fix?

Hello. I've poked, googled and searched around trying to find a way to fix this annoying issue.
Long story short: till 2004-2005 Wi-Fi N bands weren't legalized for civilian use in Russia. Now they are and we here still sometimes receive such devices which block usage of those bands. I've faced the same idiocy with Xperia S.
GB worked with channels 1-11 of Wi-Fi N (yet 12-13 should have been available too since Russia != US). Still it was bearable. ICS was the same (I've inquired about this issue a couple of times on the official forum to no avail).
Here the long-awaited JB update comes up (hooray) and bam - Wi-Fi N is blocked. Now if I pull out the sim card and turn on my phone - it will successfully connect to Wi-Fi N network. If I put it in and reboot the phone - the phone will connect to the N network for the first few seconds and then - as soon as it initializes the sim card - it will drop the connection. If I don't enable 'G/N mixed mode' on my home router, it will be sitting with no connection and showing me that N network but it would not connect to it.
Now as I told before I've been searching around internetz and was able to find some lose ends and few possible fixes to this issue.
1. Region code change. Doesn't work. It did before when the phone wasn't able to connect to channels 12-13. But now when N doesn't work at all this fix doesn't help. It looks like the problem lies deeper now.
2. Messing with wpa_supplicant. Works... sorta. I've replaced stock wpa_supplicant file with this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2399391 . It kinda works after that but starts acting up further down the line. E.g. it connects to a N network and everything's cool and dandy BUT when I leave my home and wake up the phone somewhere else I see that it still thinks it's being connected to my home network. It sees the other networks around it at the moment but it doesn't want to choose them as it kinda connected to my home one. Which is nowhere near. And if I get back to my home with the phone in such state - it won't continue to exchange data over my Wi-Fi network. So to fix that I have to turn wi-fi off and then on again but I don't like such a behavior since in my town there are a lot of free wi-fi hot spots around (in public transport, at bus stations, in cafes, etc) and I'd like my phone to choose and connect to open hot spots automatically.
So could someone please shed some light on how all this restricting thing works, what mechanism is responsible for available Wi-Fi modes except region code field in the databases and how do I fix that? (or break it?). I mean the second fix is almost works but it looks like wpa_supplicant wasn't hacked properly. Maybe there are other wpa_supplicant files available?
Thank you!
Edit: forgot to mention that I'm talking here about Xperia S, firmware versions are: JB .200, .211, .96
The same problem with my xperia ION from Syria , i try many APPS to change region code but no luck , and then change wpa_supplicant file but i face same your problem and i am suffering of about this problem , and i already change my rom from 211 to 96 and the problem still .

Yea, I saw few people here from Syria and from some other African countries also and they all had similar problem. Although I didn't know anything about legal status of Wi-Fi N bands in Syria so I've decided to create a new topic.
It looks like this problem is quite wide-spread and before Sony officially acknowledges it, I hope we'll get some help from devs around here. I wonder if the devs actually look through troubleshooting branch of forum. Something tells me they don't.
I mean if there are fixes available it shouldn't be too hard to modify something in the system to get that damn thing working. This wpa_supplicant fix is especially interesting but I can't find any tutorial on how to edit it. Google keeps silence.
Did you find any solution for this problem , because I try many article but no luck .

No man, still nothing. I've put my hopes on Sony, thought they will update. Looks like I was wrong
