I'm pretty sure your 4 year old Nokia does do badder reception

I'm coming from Arc S too, and while I never had such a big issues with Arc S Wi-Fi (on stock GingerBread), I can say that Wi-Fi reception on T is both, more stable, and with stronger signal.
Xperia Arc/S problems with signal are mostly related to bad ICS update, because on GB it was much better.
Regarding Google search, you know, nowadays people are searching for all kind of things, for reason and for no reason, and Google is remembering all that.
So basically, whatever nonesense you enter into Google search, you will most likely get some results, less or more relevant.

Mine is fine...
Xperia T could have much better wifi reception if Sony want...HW is ok but SW is killing its potencial
I have problems since I bought it,keep dropping connection(every 2 minutes reconnect )
ON Cyanogenmod theres no such issues,on TX firmware no problem too + wifi range 2x better than with stock T Firmware
Check this,its definetly not HW problem..

Agree, WiFi on Xperia is good except the range.. It sucks! My old LG optimus black was far better..

That is it. And this is why Google search will become irrelevant, sooner than we might believe.
From "XYZ has the best Wifi ever" to "XYZ's wifi reception is worst" ........ I assume that everything is all right.
Wifi reception in Singapore is sometimes difficult, bcs of the tight space, 20 or more Wifi transmitters locally, and so on. Also I believe in some cases there is a certain intention, since people shall be more encouraged using (pay) data connections.
I have same issue. Wifi signal is very poor in my Xperia T and it loses the connection all the time. I compared the Wifi reception with an Alcatel One Touch Idol and it was 2xbetter in same point. I think it has to be a SW problem, as the HW is the same than other devices and it works fine.

That's it...just want to see if I can add it somehow to one of the ROMs I've tried. (My battery life is suffering from radio standby searching in dead zones I frequent, like my house).

I don't think there is any wifi calling (like the stock ROM) in any JellyBean ROM. I think it was available in CM9, but, in general, it didn't work for me and it wasn't worth keeping. I liked wifi calling for my overseas travel, but I have learned to live without it.
I would like to be wrong about this, because I would also like to have wifi calling. Skype isn't a good general purpose solution.
Good luck.

I have Skype and google voice. Both are fine with wifi and with data plan but that does not fix the radio searching for towers draining the battery overnight (as indicated by the battery use applet.)
On the stock rom, with wifi calling, the battery lasted three or four days, I'd like to get back to that level while using jellybean.

That's what I was afraid of, maybe one day T-Mobile will have a build with it we can take it from...who knows.
As of now WiFi calling is only available for JB on the HTC One and the S3 it is now part of the rom and can't be ported over.

there is a bug in every 4.2.2 rom i tested on my 4X that wont let my device connect to a WEP secured WiFi..
so if you are working on a great 4.3 rom please try to fix this

This is hardly news - Cyanogenod v10.x does not and (from all appearances will not ever) support WEP. It is old technology, unsecure and not worth putting the effort in to try and fix. Simply change your network to use WPA and be safer and have working Wi-Fi.
You really should be able to use your common sense to realise that if there is an identical bug in every ROM you try then it might be something more than just the ROM with a problem? The developers here base most of their ROMs on CM, but can't control the CM base.
in 4.1.2 this is working just fine, so i dont see why this cant be fixed for later versions?
whats coming next with android 5.0? disabling the sms service becouse 90% of the users are using whatsapp?
i know that wep is pretty outdated,but my router doesnt support wpa or wpa 2 and im not goining to buy a news one because of this.

The cheapest modern router is around 15-20 USD. It is really worth getting one. WEP can be hacked in minutes. You don't want your whole neighbourhood to use your wifi, do you?

This makes no sense... i bought a new router when i had this problem , because i then realised that it was outdated

Just remove the password altogether if you are unwilling to buy a new one. Wep is discontinued because its easily hacked anyway

Hello everyone. im really frustrated with Xperia SP wifi. anyone have any working wifi solution which really works ? Don't why SP's wifi is so horrible even my N900 is much better than it.
edit: My phone's wifi is working now as usual. Previously it was not receiving any data nor sending until i gave my router a reboot. but other devices connected to same router were working fine. don't know what was the cause of it. but wifi single issue is still bugging me.

tried it already but it didn't worked. any more solutions ? thanks for the reply.

Is your phone rooted? for the first link version this is required. Don't know what about with the others.
i also had this probs.. but the good things is it only software related not hardware... (trust me on this)
i found out those dbm connectivity hack (change it from -87 to -100) work well but its not good enough
the only permanent solution is to flash to custom ROM (maybe sony have wifi kernel prob)
now using dirty unicorn.. i have more range (+1 more bar) and lesser connection loss

i also noticed the same thing. Roms based on CM doesnt have this problem. May be Sony fix this issue in 4.3.

Even i Am tempted to flash custom roms But the touch response in all of them is quite bad when compared to stock.Swapping those values makes wifi better for me
( not as good as cm but still manageable)

workaround prob cn be solve by system/usr/idc/ open clearpad.idc
change this value
touch screen scale 1.0 [instead of 0.0074]
touch.size.scale= 20.00 [ instead of 16.91]
touch.size.bias= 70.00 [instead of 67.65]
applied to both cm or stock... no more touch probs but while charging, touch respond had this prob

I have tried this method before, but with different values and couldnt see Any difference with those values.The values.which you have written above have surely improved toch response on stock, Even with glove mode turned off.Thanks a ton!

Hello,
I hope someone can help.
I got a Z1, with slow WiFi, but wait! It is not that simple! Everytime I change something in WiFi settings in my Frit.Box, I get one day full speed. Than after everything rebooted. It slows down to around 20Kbs up to 2Mb.
I first thought it is my crappy Fritz Box. So I tried out the Dlink DIR-600. Which, oh wonder, does the same. So root cause: It is the Z1.
After a day off, my WiFi is like in the dark age.
AND NO: Only two or three other Networks
And no: No wall, i can stand 1m behind the box.
Anyone got any tips or know why this might happen?
Edit: I´m thinking to give CM a try if it might fix the WiFi issue?
Well, i have a similar problem like yours. Z1 drops from my router all the time and the connectivity sucks!
Maybe we should use ROMs to fix it

My phone is not unlocked and not rooted, I don´t want to root and unlocmk just to find out that it does not help :/
What I could narrow down is: I see full bars on my phone, but as soon I try to connect, i goes down to 1 bar of WiFi. And the box is just like two meters away...sometimes I even can´t connect...

Hello guys im new here. So the problem is my Z1 cant connect the Wifis in my house. Even the cheap android phones can easily connect but z1 doesnt. Is there a solution for this ?
no, no fix so far, a lot of complaints about the poor wifi. Search the forums for more comments and opinions.
