Loving the phone really, one thing i have noticed is when ever im downloading or uploading large files through my home WIFI after a short period the phone disconnects from the network and i have to reconnect manually. Any ideas is anyone else having the same issue. All my other devices are fine
Same thing here, but it reconnects itself - just losing the connection for 1-2 seconds. It happens sometimes even when browsing the web. Most likely some kind of software bug.
Had similar symptoms when playing with the phone at work`s WiFi (1st day of usage). On my home WiFi nothing wrong at all.
Make sure that keep WiFi on during sleep is always.
Or the WiFi will turn off the moment u turn the screen off

I found that WiFi is one of the most power draining things on phones. The best thing would be to switch to mobile data while sleeping and turn wifi off during that time.
That way you can still receive everything, but since you're sleeping you will barely use any data at all.
To bad the phone can't do that automatically.
I'm getting frequent wifi drops in my home (netgear router, wpa psk security) and its also affecting other devices in the house! Other wifi networks I've connected to seem to be fine, no issues whatsoever. Sometimes it'll say its connected, but no data, other times it will disconnect entirely.
This is a VERY strange problem and the fact that its affecting the wifi connection to other devices is even stranger.
Just an update on this, I returned my phone to P4U this morning as the wifi thing was annoying me and the phone has eaten 823mb of mobile data in one weekend even though i had mobile data turned off and connected to WIFI, The handset said i used 115mb and Voda said 823mb. not the only reason i returned it but it needed changing. So got my new handset up and running this afternoon and im set up and i been downloading all my files and apps with out any problems.
So looks like i had a dud phone first time around.

Getting the same problem too. All my other devices (Nexus7, Ipad, PC) can connect fine to my wireless home network (fibre). But when I start connecting my Xperia Z to the wireless network, after 5 mins, my Gateway will hang, and restart itself. Happens all the time without fail as long as I have my phone hooked up to the wireless network.
Anyone else facing this problem?? I'm kinda at a loss now on how to solve it. Tried adjusting settings on my wireless channel too but doesn't seem to help. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Ok, so i reckon this could be an issue with not having a static I.P address. Gonna change it tonight when I get home and see if the problem is solved. It's either that or it may be trying to connect to a port thats used for something else? Have ports assigned for my Xbox ect. I'm not too knowledgeable about these things so any other suggestions are welcome. Not too many settings on the phone unfortunately so the problem has to be solved using the router I'd say.

I have static ip set up since the beginning, and I also have the problems. Only my problem seems to stem from 2.4 GHz/ 5 GHz (if this is even possible). 5 GHz is the preferred one, but this one seems to be out of range sometimes and it switches to mobile data. The 5 GHz is then out of range, while the 2.4 GHz is not. Very strange.
Ive found the Xperia Z has held on to a 5GHz Wi-Fi signal better than any other device I've used before, but the 2.4GHz can often disappear...
Very odd, although at home I am quite happy that 5GHz works better as there's far less interference from local neighbours. Perhaps that's causing the problem - in that the XZ isn't so well set up to cope with other routers on the same Wi-Fi channels??
The reach of my 2.4 GHz is at 75%, while 5 GHz is at 50%??? Strange.
I would always expect 2.4GHz to carry further, and so I am surprised by my experience too.
In my case, there's only 1 5GHz router visible other than mine, but countless 2.4GHz ones. Not sure why that would make the XZ drop (and sometimes even lose) the connection - but that's what seems to be happening.
Xperia Z no wi-fi without SIM
I have a different wi-fi issue with my Xperia Z. It does not connect to my home wi-fi when there is no SIM in the phone. It just says that the network is out of reach. When I pop in the SIM card, it connects automatically. Actually, all the hi-end Sony phones I tried recently do this (Ion, T and more). I've been looking for a solution here on the forum, but didn't find any helpful topic. But maybe I was looking wrong. Does anyone know, what to do?

I think the obvious answer is put a SIM in there... and if that means getting any old SIM and cutting it to size, even if it's not registered on any network, then do that.
I wonder if it the phone is looking at the SIM to identify the country, and therefore what channels can be used? I say this because when I first used the phone (without SIM) I also had problems [router not showing up in a scan], and my router is on channel 13. I then put in a SIM and at some stage did another scan and it found my router.
Is your router perhaps on channel 11, 12 or 13?
I know it's a long shot, but who knows?

Interesting point, will try to investigate with the channels. And I may also try to dig out some inactive SIM, thanks for the tip... The only thing I found is, that the problem obviously appears only with the WPA2-PSK security. With WPA, its all a-OK...
If you look inside the build.prop
The wifi.channel is not assigned,maybe this can gives you an idea guys.

My 2.4GHz has autochannel and 5Ghz is @ 44.
I used my Z about 10 days, everything is ok, except wifi connection. I compare it with xperia TX and iPhone5 in my class room where wifi signal is not good. The result is: wifi signal on TX and iPhone5 is weak but still connect while Xperia Z lost it. so disappointed
Who can help me to fix this problem???

Your school needs to help you, possibly by updating the router software. My wifi signal from my home Netgear router is very strong on the Z. I still get good signal where my old iPhone5 and Xperia S would lose wifi already.

At my home wifi signal from netgear router is strong on galaxy note 2 but on xperia z wifi signal lost...
Hello guys,
do you also suffering from low WiFi reception like mentioned on the following sources:
Thread in Official Sony Forum
[...]but the real kicker on the SP is WiFi reception. Abominable, horrifying, atrocious -- all valid words to describe the range at which it'll stay connected. We assume Sony will be able to address this with some kind of future firmware tweak, unless the antennae were lifted from the back of a truck in Shenzhen in 2007. When connected, the signal remains solid, but at 20 feet away from a router with one wall in its path, it's incredible to see it just about maintain a connection.

Summary of Engadget Hands on
It would be great if you could do some comparison of signal strength between Xperia SP and another phone on the same location and post the signal strength of both. You can see signal strength with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer
Thank you!
For me the range isnt that important, it's the fact that the wifi suddenly turns off by itself and it wont reconnect even though I was standing beside the router. I had to forget my home wifi then reboot the phone to get it to work again. Sony really needs to work on their software

The range kind of sucks, but the speed is unaffected. Would be nice if it can be improved though. Never got disconnected before.

I faced same problem as javidben. There is no problem with wifi range. I get almost full signal 10 ft away with 2 walls in between.
The problem is random disconnections. When disconnected, the phone remains disconnected from wifi anywhere between 2 mins up to 15 mins, for no apparent reason. When I just visit Wifi settings, it re-connects to the wifi network immediately. Very irritating indeed, having to do this from time to time.
Also, sometimes when I checked on my wifi router, I saw two entries (having same MAC address) for my Xperia SP in the 'connected devices' section. I was thinking this might be a router problem, but my Note 2 connects fine to the same router without any of these issues.
I'm connecting to 802.11n and I haven't experienced any problems with range, disconnects or throughput on my XSP.

I have the exact same problem on my Defy+ running Android 2.3.7. I always thought this is an Android bug. So I think It comes from the power saving function (see Wi-Fi sleep policy) not working properly all the time and is not a device specific problem. Am I right?
On the other hand Sony has implementied its own power saving function (Stamina mode), so I expect this should not happen if Stamina mode is turned on.

I turned on Stamina mode, and tested over a period of 12 hours, using it intermittently, and disconnections are not happening any more
My Note2 is connected to Wifi all the time, but I did not see any disconnections, so looks like it may not be a generic Android problem.
I'll try this stamina mode and post here the result, also Xperiancing wifi dropp off,

I'm trying the stamina mode, too.
Let's hope that this will solve the problem.
But of course, it's wierd that stamina mode can make wifi more stable, because stamina mode auto turns off wifi when phone is in standby mode...

My SGSII and SGSIV have not any problem with the same router. Besides, whether or not I 'd buy a new router, I couldn't ask cafes and other access points change their router just because xperia sp has wifi issues...
I have absolutely no problem with signal strength or deconnection.
I'm using my phone on different routers (home, work, friends, ...), no problem at all.
Xperia SP C5303.
there was a little issue with the wifi network on .211 fw
but upgrading to .284 solved it. now i have full bars everywhere. :good:
For me, I am facing exactly the same problem as some of you. The range sucks, I am only 15 ft (5m) away from my router with a door, and I get 0-1 bars only
Secondly, the WiFi does switch off randomly, but when I go to the settings and check, it connects again.

dams SONY same probleem
my SP laggy and disconnected.
Seems like it's common problem then, I thought it was just me..
The Wi-fi seems to be really wonky on the SP, I've tested it sitting on the stairs beside my router for a while and it fluctuates between full and 2 bars of signal is less than a meter distance..
I've also experienced random disconnects but I think that's something to do with Wi-Fi power saving of some sort turning it off when it doesn't think you're using it.. Even if you're mid conversation with someone on whatever social media site or IM app...
Hopefully it can be fixed by Sony pushing a software update, which if it can I assume will be pushed with the next iteration of Android.

Last week I flashed AOKP 4.3 and 4.4 rom. After that my phone can't see wpa2 networks and wifi N.
I've tried to flash stock ftf but it didn't solve. I relocked my bootloader and repaired my phone with seus. I'm on stock actually and the problem it's still there. I can't see my home network (wifi N only, wpa2). Other networks with wpa and wifi g works good. Is my phone broken? I think that is just a settings/driver problem but no one seems able to help me. I've opened a bug report on AOKP and FXP CM11 topic but no one reply to it. Other users are experiencing the same issue so I can't think that it's just my fault. Please, help!

It sounds so weird. Maybe flash to 4.4 again to solve it? Because people with the official ftf got less chance to help on it also.

Want to ask, have you manually set the region setting in your router? also what wireless band does you use inside router?
Cause if you have manually set the region to match your homeland, than after you flash other rom, firmware that is not match to your setting then you cannot see your wifi..
And don't forget, the wireless band best set to 1-11, as 12-14 have many problem for phone to detect..

Baseband does not interfere with wifi connection, as baseband is use mainly for sim connection to your mobile provider..in phone wifi setting, does you change the wifi frequency band? i strongly recommend use AUTO for best result..Also, try change the WiFi region code to Europe see can or not..
If all i mention cannot, then i suggest you reset your router, then just set your ISP so you get internet, and for WIFI setting, don't change region, and set your security key either WPA/WPA2 with AES/TKIP set to AUTO, use band 1-11 and wifi transfer width 20mhz/40mhz set to AUTO, if your router support option for wifi frequency 2.4/5 Ghz option, then set to AUTO also..if cannot, then you choose either 2.4ghz ( best so far with most compatibility ) or 5.0ghz ( some phone cannot detect )..
Hope it help..
It's a CM11 bug
Ok it's a cm bug. But why flashing stock doesn't solve? Does cm broke permanently functions in our device?

Hi there,
A week back I bought this xperia Z everything is good except the wifi connection which really disappointed me alot. The problem is its frequently disconnecting after 10 to 15 mins than connects back. What could be the problem ?
- I have already reboot the phone several times..
- stamina mode is off
- wifi is on during sleep mode
- restart the router also couple of times
One more thing sometimes when connects to wifi...a small yellow icon also shows on the top of wifi signal (exclamation mark)
Android version is 4.2.2 and model no is C6603
Please advise thank you
