WiFi shows connected but no internet access - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What happens is that the wifi shows connected with good signal strength, both with public access points and my router at home, but I can't access the internet, browsers, weather updates, etc. don't work at all. Opera just shows error connecting to the remote network. GPRS works fine and the browser connects, no idea about 3G as I don't have it. A USB connection works fine too, no problem using the internet with that.
It happens after a few days of using the rom before this problem comes up. I've had this problem for two different roms I've tried. Not too sure what's causing it but a hard reset seems to fix it, but I don't want to keep doing that either. Tried looking around the settings that might cause this, but I can't find anything that seems to cause it.
Anyone have any ideas?

If it works after a hard reset/ROM flash, then eventually "breaks", it might be a 3rd-party application that's causing the problem.

WiFi fails to reconnect

I have a Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM and HardSPL. I keep the HSDPA data on all the time and connect to my wireless access point while at home.
I understand and am fine with wifi disconnecting in sleep mode - email still checks using HSDPA. What normally happens is when I power the Tilt back from sleep the WiFi connects back to my access point.
I've noticed more than a few times however that coming out of sleep WiFi doesn't even attempt to reconnect to the access point. It is on in Comm Manager and appears to be associated with my AP, but checking the IP online shows an AT&T IP addr, not my CATV provider.
The only way to get back on WiFi is to shut off the phone (or reset). I don't want to keep WiFi on while in standby, I just want it to reconnect when it should.
Has anyone seen this behaviour?
Cheers,
Todd
Wifi access point problem
I had a problem where suddenly after months of use with my home wifi router, it suddenly would not connect with the router anymore. Would show that it was trying to connect, and then would suddenly not connect and try another router on the list.
I tried reseting and everything. Tried re-entering the password for my router as I thought that was the problem. finally the only fix i found to work was to actually delete the access point from the phone... then reset and then let it find it all over again from scratch. And miraculously that time it worked.
I know this is not exactly your problem, but hope it helps.
I will try that and see what happens. It seems whatever sub-routine that turns the wifi on isn't running at times and doesn't even attempt to search.

Wi-Fi Disconnected~

Running CM3.6.5 and cannot get the wifi to work. When I turn it on after a few seconds it says "Disconnected" right underneath it.
On the wifi networks I try to connect to my home router but it doesn't do anything. the signal strength:excellent securitypen, i hit the connect button but nothing.
I've turned off and on the wifi with no luck. Been searching for help but can't find any. If this has happened to you and you've fixed it let me know how i can do this.
Thanks!~
Have you only had this problem on one network? At work, every few days I loose my connection to our Linksys. A coworker's iPhone also fails to connect, but another coworker's Dell laptop can connect fine. Watching logcat I can see it attempting to connect, then spitting out an authentication failure error.
Restarting the Linksys seems to solve the problem. Not sure what is special about the two phones that makes everything crap out.
the only wifi network i use is my home one right now. haven't thought about restarting it. gonna do it and hopefully that will be the fix i've overlooked ><
/slaps his forehead.....
restarted my router and that fixed the problem. for some reason i've never had to do this but now i know.
thanks for the post! wifi working now.
Glad that helped. I'm still a little stumped about why it's doing this, but it sounds like we have the same issue. Restarting the router is easy enough though.
Now at home, I have a Linksys running Tomato firmware, and it never boots either of the two G1s we have. So it's just the stock router firmware for me, and it only affects G1s and iPhones (or at least, it affects them and not a laptop with Intel wireless).
i am having the same issue. does anybody knows if its a rom problem? I am running cyanogen 4.3.1. in college, where my laptop can connect fine, the g1 can not, and has a very low signal level while laptop shows excellent.

Has anybody had this problem with their data connection?

I've tried several radios and none of them have fixed the problem. Even when I have full bars in an HSDPA area, the first time I connect using Facebook or Opera or try to update weather or check my email, the icon shows I'm connected but apparently I'm not because I'm unable to download data. If I disconnect and then reconnect, it works perfectly the second time. If I keep it connected, it continues to work without a hiccup. I only have the problem when I connect for the first time after a few hours of being disconnected. I don't leave it connected all the time because it torches my battery. This quirk seems weird to me. I hope somebody has experienced this and can help me fix it.
I'm on AT&T and have the Tilt.
I have had this problem in certain areas. Near Dulles, VA, Greenville, SC, and a few other semi-major towns. I have no clue why it does this. I usually end up turning off 3G and going GSM only. Then I don't have that issue. Granted I loose the high speed connection, but it just has so much trouble in those areas. I have even tried multiple radios to no avail.

If you have ATT, you need to remove the hidden proxy after disconnecting your data connection, then start an internet accessing program. The cab can be found under your windows directory.

Serious Wifi issue on Kaiser...need fix ASAP!

I'm really astonished that this is happening...and I can't figure out why. My neighbors just got a wireless router hooked up, and i get about 1 bars worth of signal at my house. It is an unsecured connection and my Kaiser keeps connecting to it whenever I turn on Wifi. It will no longer connect to my wifi network no matter what I do. I click on my network in wifi settings and hit 'connect' and then it connects to my neighbors again...I delete it, start over...and no matter what I do it always connects to it. It's obviously some sort of glitch...any ideas on how to fix without a hard reset which is what I'm about to do because it is so frustrating. Everything I use is wireless, and nothing else was affected...just my Kaiser. Anyone had this happen to them before?

get your own internet connection and stop stealing signal from your neighbors!.
On another note, try to set your connection instead of best battery try best performance settings>wifi>advanced>power(sorry dude, if these are not the correct names, but I'm on my touch 2 phone with WM 6.5 spanish rom ..)
I'm on stock AT&T Tilt Rom WM6.1 I've tried all settings available through the Windows UI. So it must be somewhere in the registry that I need to change. I can delete all networks and scan for new ones...two come up...mine, and the new (neighbors)...I've been connecting to mine automatically for years now....and even if I click connect on my network...after its all said and done with the logging in...it connects to the wrong one still...grrrrr

WiFi Performance

Bought an Urbane yesterday and all works fine except WiFi is very unreliable. How long should it take to go from Bluetooth to a working WiFi connection? Often I see it connect to WiFi and know it has a data connection because I can pull up a web page on a mini browser app, but I can't use Ok Google commands or anything that requires a phone connection without getting the Disconnected error.
Sometimes it will start working after a few minutes. Sometimes it won't work until I get back in Bluetooth range. I've done all of the resetting of the Android Wear app, watch, Google Play Services, etc.
The other issue is that even over Bluetooth, when my phone is on WiFi itself the Ok Google stuff sometimes doesn't work. Again, the phone has a fast Internet connection but the watch apparently can't connect. Turning off WiFi on the phone and going to 4G/LTE makes everything work fine.
Thanks.
Tonight to be sure that everything was clear, I did a factory reset on both my phone (Galaxy S6) and my watch. The first issue seems better - when I walk to the other side of the house, it takes a couple of minutes to realize Bluetooth is gone and then hooks up to WiFi.
However, I'm still having that second issue - if my phone is connected via WiFi I can't do anything on the watch that requires connecting to it (Google Now commands, etc). If I put the phone on LTE, no problem. Strange. Is there a port that needs to be forwarded through the WiFi router or something like that?
Thanks.

Well, I had the same problem and had to open TCP port 5228 in my router. No more problems after that.
