[Q] Super Jelly Bean 6.0 Arc S / Weak Wifi - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I'm new there but i tried everything about it. Before i start, i wanna tell this. I tried everything and i checked few times about it. But still nothing.
I change my rom today. I was using stock ICS. And flashed Super Jelly Bean 6.0 today. But the wifi problem will kill me. its too weak even im right on modem. If im next room, there is no signal. what should i do? It's definitely about jellybean or kernel. I flashed the kernel which the rom's owner's adviced.
please, help me. cause i really like this rom and i dont wanna change it.

Did you flash the kernel inside the rom zip?

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((

Before in GB was it working well and are you sure that there are no problems with the internet connection?
Try rebooting the device and see if it worked!

Did the reboot work?
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!

Booting problems

Hey XDA,
i need serious help. Im running on an Paranoid Android (port of it) and Lupus CM9 version. The prob is when i turn off the phone and then i want to boot it up (2hours later) it does mess up. Before it has booted, i had to take battery out/in like 10 times. WTF? Sometimes bootlogo appeared but no quick vibrate that happens when you turn it on, sometimes no 2th vibrate (when you want to go to recovery), sometimes it rebooted after 5minutes of waiting. And because i want ICS but not dead phone with need to pull/push the battery, im asking here.
Thanks for help!

You can flash older baseband, but will not solve your problem. I've tried that... Phone is working well, but the 2g bug is present with the older baseband too.

Thought,it would solve it.Have to switch to another rom.I never considered Sony as bad,but now they are changing my opinion

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.

Super Jelly Bean 4.0 & GPS Problems

Installed Super Jelly Bean 4.0 on my arc s. ROM looks really nice and smooth, but battery drains faster than with previous rom and most important problem - GPS doesn't work. It lets you turn it on, but it wont find any satelites. I'm using latest fusion kernel.
Anyone else is having this isue? Maybe there's some solution for it?
Try fusion 5.4
Also clear cache and dalvik cachr after installing it

Will try that. Today noticed another problem. Camera app crashes every time I try to take a picture and of course picture isn't saved.
Also gsm signal sometimes drops to 0 bars. Something is really wrong with this rom.
