[Q] WI-Fi Issues

Hello everyone,
I updated to ICS and everything was fine until about a week ago when i couldn't connect to our home wireless network. I thought it was just a one time thing I'll just use my data that's why I pay for it, but that was not the case then I thought I mistype the password but that was not it then I restarted the router and modem and it worked for awhile until i leave then come back home and it keeps saying Authentication error. I am not sure what the problem could be and I do not want to keep restarting the network every time I come home because there are other people using it. Please help me XDA I'm burning through my data like crazy!

Blue screen on laptops (Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal) when enabling wifi tethering

Dear all,
I got my new Xperia ZL I love it sooo much. Only one issue: yesterday I used all day the wifi tethering capability, I did not download much, mainly browsing and emailing all day. It worked great!!! However today I updated the software, since I got a notification saying that the new sotware was available. I downloaded it and it installed itself in 24 minutes. Everything still works well except wifi tethering. Anytime I enable tethering, any computer connecting to it after a few seconds gets a blue screen with Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal (I tried 3 different computers). Does anybody experience the same problem? Any hint?
thanks
Alberto

For those interested, after trying everything I solved activating FIPS http://communities.intel.com/thread/33490

Strange connectivity problem

Hi,
I have been having this weird problem with my internet connectivity for my Note 2 today. I dropped my Note 2 this afternoon, and there are luckily no visible signs of damages on the body. Up till a couple of hours ago I was out and using my data plan and there were no problems with the internet. However, now that I have connected to my wifi network, I am not able to open any website in any browser. Apps like facebook, xda app etc also are not able to connect. But some apps, like whatsapp and speedtest.org app are working as usual. There are no problems connecting to my local wifi either, and I can access my router as well - I just can't connect to the internet. I have other android devices as well, and they are having no such problems - all these apps on other devices can easily connect to the internet through the same wifi network.
Now, I think there could be two issues. Firstly, as the phone had been dropped, some hardware problem might've occurred. But as I am able to access internet through some apps (whatsapp etc) from my wifi I don't think this is likely. Secondly, some app/process might be blocking my browsers and the facebook apps access to the internet. But again, this too is unlikely as the browsers and facebook app can access the internet through 3g.
I am very confused as to what to do, and would be really grateful if one of you guys could help me with this.

Hot spot problems

Hi all
Sorry if this has already been covered... I searched for quite a bit and couldn't find any solutions to my problems.
Problem #1: When my laptop is connected to my phone hotspot, sometimes it drops the connection and reports as "no internet connection". If I turn the hotspot off and back on again, it reconnects just fine. This happens randomly and started a couple of weeks ago.
Problem #2: Sometimes when I turn my hotspot on, I get the "verifying account" message and the spinning icon, but the hotspot never turns on. I have to reboot the phone to get it to function.
My phone is completely stock, not rooted, and has the stock ROM. These problems both developed recently... I've been using the same setup problem free for 10 months.
Any ideas?

Root. Run a custom rom. Problem solved

Yeah if you can't fix it with a simple reset, root and run custom rom.

[Q] NOTE II keeps restarting whenever connected to the internet

Hey everyone,
I've been looking all over the internet for a solution to my problem, and nothing have worked yet. I've tried clearing the cache (and often data as well) for phone, internet and chrome. My setting does not keep activities. I have not tried factory reset, because I cannot backup all my phone's data as of now.
The problem with my phone is that I cannot connect to the internet at all. Because I'm out of the country right now, and will be for a while, I cannot use mobile data (because of my phone plan). I've been relying a lot on internet for communication with others, and though I can do it fine with my laptop, it's not exactly easy for me to carry it around everywhere.
What happened was this afternoon, I suddenly received the pop up "Unfortunately, Internet has stopped" when I tried to log in to my uni's wifi network. I used chrome after that and things were fine.
But then, the message kept on popping up and suddenly the phone kept on restarting itself. This happens constantly! After the phone is fully loaded, it restarts again!! When I switched off the wifi, the phone worked well. But I noticed that facebook and whatsapp were uninstalled (not by me). Maybe the problem lies with the wifi connection thing, cause whenever I switched it on, the phone restarts on its own. But if the wifi is on without being connected to any networks, the phone is fine.
After a while, I also started to get the pop up "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped".
Since I'm living in campus right now, the only wifi network available for me to connect to is the university's. So I don't know if this is just a problem with the univ. or just wifi networks in general.
I have this phone for about two years already. It is not rooted. I've dropped it several times but it still works fine. I have not installed any new applications recently. All I did today was scroll through tumblr. Uninstalled that app too just in case, but problem remained.
If any of you know what's up or what to do, that'd be a great help!
Thank you
