[Q] Wifi not working properly - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today I tried the DoomLords method of rooting .244. After I downgraded the kernel to .423 suddenly my wifi stopped working (I wasn't able to turn it on - was turning off all the time). But hey I continued in rooting and after I rolled the .244 back I face another strange behavior of my wifi. Now I am able to turn on wifi, I am able to see packets flowing at the wifi notification icon but I am not able to load any page at all. And yes the wifi actually provides the Internet (my laptop confirms). Anyone facing similar behavior?
P.S.: I bought my Xperia in Japan if it somehow matters.
Edit: After reboot wifi always turn on itself.

I had the same problem, solved by flashing kernel from where I started.

What do you mean by kernel you started from? Original .244 from update or .244 from DoomLord? The original .244 would make me lose root permissions wouldn't it?

Original. 244, no you won't lose your root.

[Q] Problem with wifi

Hi, i have a problem with my wifi for almost two months.
wifi worked fine when it was first rooted and everything, and with almost all roms i have tried, but one day i tried to use supercharger and it killed my phone so i repaired it with flashtool (because companion and seus failed me) and rooted it again.
And then the problem started, it detects the modem and connect (sometimes) but its very VERY slow, i tried to use my backups, flash ftf things (baseband and etc for e15a), almost all roms and nothing, it works better with the original rom but not like the old good days.
i just use my phone for music and wifi, so it sucks.
i hope that someone can help me here~
Thanks.

[Q] wifi not turning on!

I was on PAC Rom. The wifi was working fine. I reverted back to .253 (4.1.2) version and my wifi is not turning on anymore. It keeps on showing wifi is turning on. I reflashed to PAC rom and wifi was working and I can connect to a wifi network but after again reverting back to .253 version it again stops working. Please help!

Problem seems unique to you...
You are clean flashing? No silly restores. Full reset and wipe.

WiFi problems on 4.4 stock i537

Hi everyone) I'am on stock official 4.4 update and I have problem with wifi (at&t i537 Active):
the phone finds some networks, but doesn't "see" others (including my home network, - and not only my, my friend's as well).
Tried to downgade to 4.3, but I couldn't even TURN it ON, because it just wouldn't switch to "ON".
Is there any way to fix the problem? (I guess it's a known samsung-software bug on i537)

[Q] Tethering Problem

Hey guys,
I have a Z1 C903, which doesn't work as a wifi tether nor bluetooth tether. I can turn it on, and other devices can see it, however when trying to connect, the signal drops completely.
If I wait the signal will restart and become full strength, where I will need to manually connect, which proceeds to the signal disappearing again. I've tried unsecure, wpa2, wpa to which I have no luck either. Devices such as laptop will say limited connection, whereas android tablets and phones will refuse to connect and will say "Saved, secured with WPA2" or something else if i change the password method.
I've tried searching for any reports of wifi tethering not working, but the problems seem to be different from my situation.
More details on my device:
It has an unlocked bootloader
Now running Paranoid android
Problem occurred on stock 4.3, nut 4.4 (I assumed it was a glitch on Sony's drivers, and have waited for months now for a patch)
Could a faulty TA do this?
Any ideas?
Am I f***ed?
Cheers

Flash your phone by flash tools including wipe apps log and cache and system
It should solve your problem
And of course first re-lock your BL and flash to stock Rom

Sorry about late reply, I am out in urban areas without internet connection. I'll try doing this tonight.
Am I right in assuming all Z1 CM ROMs have this problem, if I must install a stock-based ROM?

Oh, sorry I forgot to tell you
You should use stock rom

Go here and fun your phone model and download the version and region you want

You can try to change the name of your phone (Network SSID) to a simpler form instead of default.
I got it working
I got it working thanks to your suggestion, Saeed.
I flashed the stock ftf from the mega thread and that restored my tethering capabilities. I then proceeded to reinstall the ParanoidRom and now the tethering works as well.
I'm not sure what happened, but I'd assume something went wrong when upgrading to 4.3 and the problem stayed when I then upgraded again to 4.4 and then to paranoid.
Thanks

[PROBLEM] Kernel Panic and Wifi greyed

A friend of mine asked me to repair his brother's phone that recently showed a "Kernel Panic" error message on 4.1.2 stock rom (followed by reboot). I read on the internet that it could be caused by a hardware failure but someone "fixed" the problem installing an AOSP rom (I know, it doesn't make much sense but it seems to be working for now). I installed cm11 by janice and AOSP Rc3 by J-Team (I can't provide you the links but they should be both in the Developement section for this phone). They both worked smoothly and kernel panic has not showed up (for now) but then, when I got everything working, I noticed I couldn't use the wifi function because the on-off switch is greyed out and unable to work. In the Wifi tab I got this constant message (Searching for Wifi network - translation may be inaccurate). Is there anything I can do to fix this problem via software?
