Full network, still unable to connect to the internet!! :( - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't understand this problem, it happens some tine.. I can see full network coverage but still my data doesn't get enabled. I need to goto network type and switch between 2G n 3G n after some tries, it connects.. What is this? Its really quite annoying.. Same this used to happen with my xperia arc also.. I think Sony (Ericsson) is still not learnt... With same sim card, I can connect using friend's Samsung/Karboon n that too without Signal failures..
Hit Thanks If I helped u!!

3g may not be available in your area...or your phone doesnt support the band.

2G doesnt really work that fast or at all with my service so it may detect it but just cant run that fast...maybe just where you live, ask someone else with the same service with different phone to see if he get crappy service.

This happened to me when I had improper proxy IP set in my APN.

FIrstly I do know what you are talking about, and I suggest if you want help then don't be a smart ass.
This seems to be a problem until you sucessfully connect to any network, I had to fresh reboot my router before I could connect to it, did exactly as you explain, and exactly what others talk about in the threads. For me however, once I was able to finally establish a clean connection to any WIFI network from that point on it was fine, bad signal strength but didn't constantly switch, and then finally give you a message saying authenication required.
In addition to this, I followed the following guides/fixes and either of these two work. You need to ROOT your phone though.

When I've seen this occur, it is generally as the wifi isn't in range or barely in range, or I'm having an issue on my router. The wifi strength on an Xperia Z is pretty weak. I ended up buying a new wifi router for home it was so bad, and has been a lot better. But I did have this same behaviour when it was having trouble connecting.
When you are trying to connect, is the signal strength it is showing 4 bars, or is it low? Or varying a lot?
I'm next to the router and the signal is almost full !!
But it keep on saying obtaining IP address then it disappear
Although another devices are connected to the same router without any problems

[Q] How do I get Tmobile 3G connection on Family Mobile?

Hey Guys,
I just got a new Xperia SP (C503) that is factory unlocked. I am currently using it on Walmart Family mobile (T-Mobile) plan but I can only get Edge data connection speeds. Is there a way to get 3G on this phone on the Family Mobile network.
Have you tried adjusting the network settings found in settings/more/network mode then set it to wcdma preferred(gsm)
Once changed a reboot will be needed.
If you have done this then maybe somebody else can help

That is the setting I have it on. I am wondering if it has something to do with the APN settings. I have called the Family Mobile support but they weren't helpful. Can someone help? Anyone?
To get the APN look under xperia in settings for get internet and MMS settings sent to phone.
Again if you have done this I really don't know....I am assuming your area is/has 3g coverage/ready

C5303 isn't compatible with T-Mobile for 3G or LTE. You could get 3G on AT&T, or if you want to stick with Family Mobile you would need the C5302 to get 3G.
Have a look at gsmnation.com to check compatibility.

[Q] Poor Wifi AP/Hotspot/Internet sharing..

Just bought a Z1 and I really love it, fast and smooth..
One thing is bugging me though.
The Wifi AP..
I share my internet when at work for my work phone (Sony ZR).
I've been doing this for a couple of months with both my Nokia Lumia 920 (WP 8.1) and Motorola Droid Razr (Both stock 4.1.2 and latest SlimKat)
without problem.. With both phones I have about 75-80% signal, but with the Z1 it hardly can connect..
Have been doing some speed test on the Z1 over LTE, it reaches about 50mbit. So far so god.
Standing next to the Z1 with the ZR I get like 45-50mbit.
With same condition (6-7 meters, through two drywalls) as with the Nokia or Motorola I hardly get 1mbit, and then the Wifi drops..
When connecting to my home Wifi with the Z1 it seems fine and the signal is good..
Is this really normal?
Cheers
98 views and not a single answer? :/
Isn't there anyone using there Z1 to share internet?
I share Internet a lot. I will test and reply tomorrow

Thanks mate
So, I shared my connection for few days. And it good.
First I turn off stamina (because stamina turn off 3G/4G network)
And second in wifi Hotspot you need go turn off power saver (if on, it will turn off wifi after 10min of inactivity)
Third stuff, some devices especially older one have problems connecting to WPA2 PSK, try without password and report.

Well, tried everything and still poor connection..
Time to DOA the Z1?
Would a hard reset help?
Did a hard reset, no improvement
