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.

Hello all. I have been playing with the new 4.1.2 JB ROMs on my 7100 Note2 and have been having one major and repeatable issue, that I have seen mentioned a few times by others, with no obvious resolution.
I have tried the various leaks of the 4.1.2 that were floating around (the stock one, Wannam and Android Revolution HD 5) and now I have just tried the final Polish PLAY version of 4.1.2 as well as the latest Wannam as well. All do/did the same thing:
They can see my wifi SSID and they can BEGIN to connect and "obtaining IP address" comes up. EITHER they then fail and tell me connection is poor and to try again, or they will connect and then drop within a minute. Just today I made some kind of movement on this by trying different kernels. Perseus25 gives up and tells me signal is poor. Perseus27 WILL actually connect and stay connected but can never actually surf anywhere. Note2Core will either connect or tell me my authentication is wrong (which it isn't) and when connected, it too refuses to surf. RedPill is same as Note2Core. BTW, even when they DO connect, they do so at a measly 5Mbps (and cant find internet)
Now, you are all probably thinking "his wifi is rubbish!" but I REALLY cant see how that can be! Firstly, there are other users out there who have mentioned this in a few threads but I have never seen any useful replies as to a solution (or a cause!). But also, if I restore back to my usual ROM which is Android Revolution 4.1 HD (=JB 4.1.1) with a perseus25 kernel, then I connect immediately and stable at 54Mbps and works great. (all it takes is a CWM restore back and it is working 100%. same location in my office, same router, wifi etc!) Plus same wifi serves two laptops, wife's Galaxy S2, and has seen many iphones, ipads, and other laptops all fine.
Back in the days of the leaked 4.1.2 I DID try jumping wifi channels on the router just to prove a point. Every single one did same thing.
Flashing procedures have been the 'standard' method: boot into CWM, wipe data/cache/dalvik/battery, then flash new ROM, boot OK.
I had assumed that the early leaked version of the ROM had some bug but very disappointed to find same behavior in the Polish PLAY version which is final release AFAIK. It makes all these subsequent ROMs based on it totally useless to me.
I even extracted and flashed the modem.bin from my working ARHD4.1 ROM but nothing changed. So modem and kernel same as working systems but something clearly broken somewhere.
If you are one of the other folks out there who also has this issue, might be helpful if you give some info about your setup, so somebody clever out there can help us join the 4.1.2 club?!
Any thoughts?
(setup: UK VirginMedia 120Mbps down/10Mbps up. Cisco Linksys E4200 router. about 10 feet from router with one 'paper wall' between! ARHD4.1 finds full signal and surfs fast. 4.1.2 totally unusable)
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi(s), you are my only hope!
I have noticed similar problems on my SGH-i317 using CleanROM 3 (4.1.2). The wireless connection randomly drops while browsing. This happens even in areas with excellent signal quality.

Thanks for contributing. Helps prove the point that it is something in the new ROM as our wifis are fully functional otherwise. I have matched the modem and kernel from my working 4.1.1 system and still failing....
I hope we get some help.
I also got this problem from latest WanamLite & Omega ROM. Both are using 4.1.2 JB.
Wifi detected and connected but always obtaining ip address..
Sometimes it tooks so long and can get ip, but still cannot access internet or can't even ping different ip address from the same network.

strange, i've been running omega 7 to 7.4 but dont have any problems with wifi.
i've connected to home wifi (TP-Link), workplace (Cisco/Linksys) and some coffe-shops without any problem.
most of them using WPA2 or WEP. sometimes obtaining ip address with WEP could take a lil longer about (10-15sec) but always a success.
but never used wanamlite for my note2 so cant comment any, srry
I'm not saying the issue is in the wifi itself, but it can probably be fixed by disabling n mode and only using b and g. Also try to make sure the phone gets assigned a static ip.
Issue seems to be 4.1.2 related.

yes.. i'm also facing the same problem.. whenever i flashed custom rom based on 4.12, like wanam 2.0, 2.1 n crash rom, i cant connect to the wifi.. it always shows optaining ip address and it never connected.. now i m using stock rom 4.11 n there is no problem to connect to the wifi..
i juz wonder why it happens to several devices only?
I having the same wifi problem with 4.1.2 firmware...revert back to 4.1.1 wifi connection run flawlessly..strange !
I have tried switching OFF the 5GHz signal from my modem and sticking to 2.4GHz.
Have also tried turned off N and locked it down to just B & G.
Have tried turning off the WMM in the QoS section.
All of these have been mentioned around the place as possible solutions, and I am afraid none of them changed anything at all for me. Also read that one person had his wifi issues resolved when he dropped WPA2 security and went back down to WEP. This is an unacceptable solution to me as I don't want to make my WiFi so insecure, and also, what happens when I go to my friends and family who all (rightly) use WPA2?! So wont even be trying that.
I am actually getting a new Virgin Media Superhub in about 2 weeks so will revisit the issue then to see if 4.1.2 just doesn't like my Cisco router.
Just weird. And frustrating as wanted to move on to 4.1.2!
have you tried changing the channel on your n router?
Ok. I here is my evo 4G lte story. I flashed cm10 as soon as I got this phone a month and bit ago. I totally had wifi connectivity problems at work and at my house. One worked better and one had to be spammed to connect 20 times to connect and would still occasionally drop. I went to sense is from there and found it to be reliable. Though I just moved to the ota, I find this sense to be just as reliable.
In all. The new ota let me move to jb with reliability.

Why not all people getting this wifi problem using 4.1.2 ROM? Does the device something problem? But why going back to 4.1.1, wifi problem dissapeared and can connect directly?

yes.. i also wonder why this happen..
I also have exactly the same problem. I have tried every single 4.1.2 ROM but I can't keep my wifi working. I have had to go back to 4.1.1 as well. My wifi is perfect on 4.1.1. I use Cisco e4200 with ddwrt flashed. Very frustrating!

Try changing channels to below 11 if you're in Europe and the router uses channels above.

I`am on ARHD 6.0 currently and i never had problems with wifi on all the previous ARHD rom`s. Try doing a full wipe or at least also do a system wipe (and wipe cache/dalvik cache, data/factory reset and format preload) before flashing a rom. I`am sure that will help guys.
i have same problem no ip adressing and when i set statique ip no internet
i test Omega wanam mondx... same issue
omega 6.1 works great but at 7 version no internet by wifi, but ok in data
i have a logcat if help (catlog app)
i test rest router, change wpa2 to wpa, change channel, wps, super wipe (allll format) every omega rom, set mac adress in router with static ip
i become crazy why not on all device its n7100 XEF french buy on amazon

Hi all.
Been installing quite a few roms in the last year and untimately sticked to UHD 3.0.2 with lupus kernel.
This happend once before, internet suddenly stopped working and the simptoms where having a 3g simbol showing up to then dissappear for minutes.......no way of having any internet connection whatsoever, tried installing different kernel and roms but probably it's something deep into the firmware.......it fixed by itself after a week or more '
Now it happend again, internet is down despite i reinstalled roms and kernel and even went back on .13 stock rom and kernel.....nothing internet is simply down and no 3g simbol coming up from time to time this time....only phone signal and that's it.
Settings are ok, checked 100s of times............i just left the phone charging and all of a sudden it became like this.
I'm back on stock as i said and still nothing.........this pisses me off like few other things on earth. Is there something i can attempt manually to recover any form of internet connection. I need it for work and messaging a lot!
Please help me out guys, or i'll just have to dump this phone in the bin despite the fact that i'm quite fond of it.
Thanks
Default [Q] Xperia arc S internet dead....tried everything, please help
Looks like you tried quite a lot of things but you did not say you tried another baseband? Worth a try? Just make a note of the baseband your on so you can return to it....
hello ,
i am new to this section , i bought the Gnex tow days ago , it was shipped with a latest stock 4.3 jb ... i rooted it and installed the nice liquid smooth rom .
i noticed since i had the stock rom that wireless reception was not good , the signal was not that great and used to disconnect , ok , the wireless router is far away and separated by many walls ... i used to get 1 bar connection using my old Desire HD mobile phone , and it could kept connected most of the time , but with my new Gnex i barely get connection and when i do it disconnects quickly , although it performs very well when i am near the wireless router ..... so my question is :
1- is it a general issue in all android versions of the Gnex ? if not what is the best one ?
2- is there any recommended radio to be installed for the SL custom rom and for a result i can get a better wifi reception ?
3- another question please , i couldn't find the smartass2 governor in the settings-performance , is there a recommended kernel for this rom which supports this governor ?
thanks in advance
what is the best radio for wireless reception ?
Hello,
I've recently bought a new xperia arc. I've rooted it and after that i installed several roms (4.4.2 - 4.4.3). These roms had different kernels. On all roms wifi supposed to be working, but after a few minutes it doesn't work anymore. I have to restart wifi and after that it works for around 5 minutes. (5 minutes with screen on) Now I was heading to another home and over there, the wifi worked perfectly. So I suppose the problem is caused by our router (thompson TG789vn). The stock wifi from my phone worked perfectly.
This problem was on my xperia X8 too (rooted and android 4.2), but did'nt exist on my xperia J (stock kernel/rom). A friend of mine has the same problem at our home too with a Xperia Neo (stock kernel/rom). Soo it looks like a strange problem. Can someone help me? I tried everything (statici p, google search, other kernel etc.)
Sorry for bad english
