Dear Sony Fan's,
since 2 week I'm proud Xperia ZL user. As I get the XZL update was available to JB 4.2.2 and I do it.
I have extremely problems with WiFi. WiFi is connected and a good signal quality, but when I use a APP which needs Internet you can see the arrows after a couple of seconds the arrows disappear and nothing happens anymore.
I use different WiFi's (home and work) with the same results on both.
Is there any other how has the same issues and maybe know a opportunity to solve this?!
Thanks in advance.
BR
Patrick

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
I just flashed the firmware using flashtool and i dont have wifi disconnections anymore
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 read that the original xperia arc have alot of problems like the wi fi dropping connection and some camera issues.

Since Arc S is being sold with Android 2.3.4 (which has major improvements to Wi-Fi) I've not noticed any general problem with connection droppings.
I'm using one myself, and no problems so far.
Arc hasn't the pronblem anymore, too since one of the latest updates.

Hello all! I was just wondering if anyone is having a very particular issue with their WiFi on the GNex... more specifically with any phone running ICS. I seem to be unable to connect to any WiFi network that has non-standard characters in it- punctuation marks or letters with accents. My old phone (Samsung Captivate) connected just fine to my home network, which has an é and a ! in the name. Before I got my GNex, I was running an ICS rom on my Captivate, and realized I couldn't connect to my home network anymore. I figured it was a glitch with the rom as others were reporting WiFi issues.
Then, I went to work and connected to the WiFi just fine, then to a relative's house, then to a few other friends- they all connected just fine. I'm having the same issue with my GNex. Connects fine to most networks, just not the ones that have strange characters. I can input my WiFi password, but it just sits there at "saved" and the signal drops from "excellent" to "poor." Given that this same bug happened with my Captivate, I am assuming this is a software bug.
Just looking for others with this problem (and maybe a fix)!
Could be if the drivers for other non official ICS phones. But with the gnrx its a known issue.

Hmm. So is it hardware or software? Any hope of it being repaired, or do I have to change the WiFi name of my home network?
nothing with ur router bro. This is either a hw or sw issue. And I'm desperately praying for it to be software
P.s on my 3rd gnex and has the same issue as the other two

What a strange bug. I wonder how something like that even happens. Has anyone reported this bug to Google/Verizon? Does the GSM version have the same bug?
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, thanks for all the information and nice tutorials.
I rooted my phone from the default and latest HTC sence version to the Ice Cold Sandwich 3.0.0.
I really like the new version, however I notice some wifi drops as I had before a specific HTC update.
Does anybody know a solution for this problem? I can't post in the developer forum due too not enough posts...
Thanks in advance.

The ROM is a port so plenty of things are bound not to work at times. It's a common issue and is easily solved by flashing a more stable ROM.
you could try WiFix Manager from the marked see if that helps you..
i think most of the icecream builds have many bugs yet..
and proberly many with the same problem as you
so if you used the search function under the rom you use
you would proberly see many with the same problem and fix to it
The wifi doesn't "drop", it's just that ICS has different levels of measurement than HTC, so 2 bars on sense may be 1 bar on ICS

Thanks, but i'm really noticing drops and even dead spots like i experienced before.
The HTC update than solved this for me.
When I for example hold my hand fixed above my phone the wifi signal will drop very fast and after some time the connection is even lost.
As I said I also had this problem before with the HTC software, however there has been one update regarding wifi problems and this solved this issue for me.
I don't know whether there is a possibility to see what has been solved in this update and to implement it somehow.
kind regards
That's because you're blocking the antena inside which makes the signal poor. Try not to cover the plastic in the back of the phone all the way.

I got the same problem of dropping wifi connection but I managed to work. I used to run ttorrent even I m not downloading anything.
There's an option "best wifi...." Something in advance wifi menu in sense ROMs, that solves dropping wifi connection.

That's a Sense only option. AOSP doesn't have that but has a different set of setups which can enable better wifi performance. There is also an application called WiFix which fixes some known issues about wifi.

That WiFix doesn't help me for constant connection, I am running ttorrent on background.
Good afternoon XDA HOX owners,
I'm having a really strange problem with getting on to my wifi AT HOME ONLY.
The phone sees the wifi, registers the strength of the signal, but loses connection all the time. it's the first time I've had this issue with a gadget, and this is the 4th smart phone that's been owned in my household, while using this particular wireless router. there's also 2 laptops, a NAS and an iPad (EEWwwww ) ... and my mates that have my wifi password get on without an issue...
If I turn the wifi on the phone off and on, it works for maybe ten seconds to a minute, and then drops connectivity, but not the signal. I know this because of the little 'up and down' connectivity arrows that run in the CM10 wifi indicator. they go either up, or down or nothing, but the signal is still there.
Any help would be massively appreciated as it's ruining my love for the awesome device the HOX is, especially running CM10.
Thanks :good:
your auntie mable
Gonna bump this thread up because I'm home and it's driving me batty!

I had this issue with my homehub on the 'n' setting. Something just didnt work between the phone and hub. Try changing it to 'g' if its not that im at a loss. My.x would work everywhere else but home properly
Now works flawlessly
My nexus used to fly with the hub. Slightly irritated i had to lower performance purely for my phone. Its npt a massive difference but theres a reason theres a g and a n lol

Thanks mate.
So I've tried that and no luck. Virgin phone support says it must be a 'hardware issue with the phone'.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks

I'm having similar issues with my Wi-fi at home, tho my connection lasts longer, sometimes 10 mins, sometimes 5 hours+ sometimes all day. The strange part is that when i use wi-fi on the phone alot like some sort of heavy stuff youtube, downloading etc. then my connection drops. I've tried using only N connection and BGN Mixed on 20 and 40HZ channel and N seams to give me the best results, never tried B and G connections since i think those reduce the range of your WI-FI , too bad i didn't go for A B G N router. Anyway could be up to my router or something, every device that uses my WI-FI has same issues with this router. I even took it to the repair center they've done some ping tests and showen me that router works perfect. anyway back home still does those buggy things. If anyone has any good idea please feel free to suggest us.
I'm also having an issue with mine, although slightly different.
My phone connects to available wireless with no problem and stays connected however when I leave that location it stays connected instead of switching back to mobile data. I have to turn off wireless and then turn it back on to get it to switch to mobile data.
Kinda a pain in the arse and really annoying. I've missed allot of important emails since I got this phone due to me forgetting to turn wifi off everytime I leave somewhere with wifi.
None of my previous smart phones had this issue. I'm hoping that if I get custom rom on it, it will work properly,
