I'm using SP, but I realized that the WIFI signal is really weak compared to all other devices~
The received signal is only 0 to 1 bar on my SP while my iPhone 4, Xperia X10 all devices can get 3 to 4 bars...
And my SP will be disconnected easily while all other devices do not have this problem...
Is there any solution or recommendation?
I am also facing this problem with my phone and when Samsung galaxy s advance catches signal but my phone did not Get any wifi signal
I started a thread about that issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2306638
Because I also planning to buy this phone thanks for your feedback.
Also experinecing Wifi dropped off.Went to sony service center in Singapore, can not do anything about it, fill a formal complain regarding wifi weak signal;
1st call from Sony: Offered to replace my xperia SP to V, stupid! offered me to downgrade!
2nd call from Sony: Offered me to replace my unit to Xperia Z plus i need to top up SGD200, good deal but i refused, want REFUND
Not satisfied with wifi performance always dropping off!

I don't have the problem anymore. Try updating the firmware and turning off stamina mode.
Want refund? Not possible. I would pay $200 for the xperia z though. S$600 for an xperia z!
Sent from my Xperia SP using xda premium
Support from SONY Website took a look and ask for some details.
Hopefully they will look into it.
Problem remains after update...
Sony Mobile support suggested on changing router settings (e.g. channel ). But, why don't other phones need those setting changes? And, of course, is it possible to change EVERY router's, that we use, settings?

Any news on the specific problem, most valuable for many of us...
(A developer friend insists on kernel problem. Is it so dificult to update the device's kernel?)

It is a baseband problem, not kernel. Updating basebands can be risky, as it might result in loss of wireless capabilities.
To put it simply, you might lose your WIFI, LTE and so on.
I have really good wifi signal. Don't have any problems with disconnecting and so on.
I don't have a problem, the wifi range seems to be similar to other phones I've had. But, I have noticed that even when the wifi signal strength indicator shows 1or even no bars, it still works with good speed. It seems like the indicator isn't calibrated that well.
I've also noticed the SP is quite critical how it's held in the hand with respect to wifi performance. The 3G antennas are at the bottom of the phone, but I think the wifi antenna might be near the top, so you need to modify how you hold it. Don't take this as fact, just something I thought I noticed last night when using wifi.

I am going to try:

I have the same issue.
I had a senseless chat with Sony Support which resulted in that i can send the phone to my next Sony Repair Center.
So i tried several channels on my Router best results were on channel 1 and channel 11.
It is still not as strong like i am used to on other devices but much better than before.
Also i had the feeling that after flashing Doomlords new Kernel the signal got better, but that could be a wrong impression by me.

are u try setting your wifi to 11n or 11g/n i used SP and i dont think wifi signal weak
I think that if Sony wants to continue enjoying our respect, must publish an update that corrects the problem. It's a B I G problem to have a phone that disconects every 5-6 min even though the signal is good....
Hello, i ask about my xperia z1, signal is weak eventhough the wifi on other mobile is strong signal in same distance, what will i do? Can we fix this kind of problem? Tnx
Hi i've seen so many ppl with problems about bluetooth and wifi not being able to connect or being seen by other bluetooth devices or wifi connection lost in the middle of something or in stand by or ... etc like myself and i never seen any page with detailed reports and i wanted to share my logcats so maybe this would help someone find out whats going on in our phones, so anyone else who's having the same problem can post his/her logcats here or any details on it
so heres mine im on 4.2.2 .67 hope someone would see it and hope it would be any use to devs
Interesting as I don't have these problems, Are you using a proxy?(nemesis by any chances?) because it is calling some kind of illegal command which is not supported or can't be processed,

nope nothing works and i dont have access to any official sony center customer support in my country so this phone is kinda dead, NFS bluetooth wifi they dont work, they might work once in a day but not more than a few seconds, also i just found out that sony didnt come clean about unlocking my bootloader because when you are going to unlock it they say you will remove your warranty they dont say anything about hey we're going to screw a few things in your phone like your TA and it will cause your phone to lose some of its functions like bravia engine which is nothing serious dear customer!!!!! except all that is left for my phone to brag about as a sony smartphone is IP58 nothing more!
and i think this was the last time i went for sony phones this phone is a huge disappointment with all of its problems
and please people who encountered wifi bluetooth or nfc problem report in this topic put some logcats if possible and explain how it happened and how its happening please maybe this could be some use to someone or at least make some people aware of what they might get into

i had the same problem with sony xperia zr, and some other guys had it too, there is something seriously messed up with sony wifi drivers...
good part is it apears to be a software issue and can be fixed if sony whould give a damn...

here is a detailed post about it, although sony told this guy eventually it was a hardware problem i'm pretty sure it's not, had the same issue on my zr, flashing a new firmware usually fixed it for 3-4 days untill it began again.
i suspected it was some app that i installed that messed up the wifi, anyway i got a new xperia z1 and my zr went to my sister, after a factory reset wifi works fine for her now...... so no idea actually...

My problem was most likely HW, because flashing new firmware including the one in the service centre did not work. But it looks like Sony has a lot of problems with the Wi-Fi chips in general - so the range of possible errors is quite broad. If it was a software problem, hopefully new update fixes it.
EDIT: The Xperia article is the most popular article by far on my website - which is sad.
it only happens to me once. the problem was solve once i off the wifi n on it.

Same here. I went into my router config and enable the Packet Flow Accelerator. No issues after that. Seems like Sony wifi chip eats a lot of packet data.

Made a factory reset and it's still happening at home and in the office, so it must be the Xperia Z Ultra as other devices work fine in both locations.

Happen With Me Too
1.136 Indian Branded FTF
To Solve This I Have to Switch Of WiFi and again on it
me using connectify latest version
and when i tried to connect with my bro's lumia connection stays stable
sad sony
I had the same issue and the wi-fi worked again after I turned on the "Auto IP Support" option in the Wi-Fi advanced menu. Hope this helps.
Might work for other Z series...especially after Custom ROm or updated to 4.3
Hi all just wanna share with you all to all the Xperia ZR users who are facing problem to connect to any 2.4GHz networks. This is an official solution I found after weeks of testing and research. In the end, the driver is not loaded properly or by default, custom ROM created the havoc. So this is a solution finally will end all the Xperia ZR owners WiFi woes:
I noticed that when running ADB GUI, there is this file missing from /System/Data/Misc/WiFi called "WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini" .
I'm using ADB Helper Version 4.2.0.0, under BUILD.Prop Viewer tab, choose wlan.driver.config it points to that location. I downloaded somewhere from Xperia developer forum website. Then i modified and modified until i found the solution.
in this file modified the line gDotMode=3 (which is running in N mode only) to either 1 or 2 which s "a" or "b" mode.
I reboted the device and the wifi works and N mode is disabled meaning you wont be able to connect in 5GHz mode anymore. But you will be able to connect to all the CURRENT 2.4GHz AP ...yayyy!!! I read somewhere where ICS android allows you to Enable or Disable 5GHz scanning of AP. But later were removed. 4.3 updates sometimes also i found out will WIP this configuration or maybe Developer forgotten to include this as well. I hope Sony Xperia developers will look into this.
Now, my phone can connect to any 2.4GHz WiFi.. I would be willing to help just drop me an email at [email protected].

Re: Somehow it worked for me...
I faced the same Bluetooth & Wi-Fi problem...
For Bluetooth I have got the replacement..
For wi-fi.. I did the tethering..
I created the Hot Spot in another phone and then access that hot-spot from my Xperia ZR..
Luckily it obtained the IP address of Hot-spot and started working
Then without switching off the wi-fi of my phone, I deleted the Hot-Spot connection and tried to access my already created wi-fi router setup fom ZR...
It clicked and started obtaining the IP address of my router..and its working fine from that day...

Hello guys I bought an Xperia Z1 last week and the wifi reception is very poor and i've read my threads and they say change channel and turn off wifi optimization and turn on Auto IP thing and change security code mode on the router and i tried all of them but i still get slow internet connection and my brother also got an iphone 5s and when we use speedtest and put them next to each other he gets 8mbps and i get like 0.3 to 2 maximum mbps
So do you know anything i can do to fix this problem

Try using this app to find best channel in you neighbourhood:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer
If that fails flash different ROMs like iHackers or even better CM11. If you're still getting same results then call Sony and tell them. They might replace your unit due to defective radio.

Yh my WiFi was poor in every room expect living room (where router was located). I never had this problem with GS2 and Galaxy Ace. At the time I couldn't flash CM cause of the UB camera issue. So I used WiFi Analyzer to find best channel to my surprise auto had set it to Channel 6 which almost everyone in the neighbourhood was at. After tinkering with router I found that channels below 11 work best. After tinkering with the app I found a rating system that suggested best channels.
The reason why I suggested you flash other ROMs is to find out whether its a software issue if every ROM fails then its a hardware issue unless your phone WiFi works with other routers. If the latter was the case then something is wrong with your router.

I saw many threads and people saying that its working better with cheaper routers and routers that are b/g/n and it worked better in my friend's house and he got a d-link router but anyways am gonna try to flash CM or Slimkat cause am already rooted and i got dual recovery but is there any stable CM built cause i went to cyanogenmod's website and it says Experimental builds and Nightly builds only and do they work on locked bootloaders?(Slimkat and CM)
Hi,
I have Xperia ZR C5503 phone about a year. Until 2 months ago I was using Android 4.3. When Lollipop update distributed I upgraded it to 5.0.2.(official)
But sometime after the upgrade my phone started not connecting wifi. It sees the available networks but not connecting them. The signal drops to lowest level about a second while trying to connect and it fails. Also I was using my phone's wifi tethering feature to share my internet to my pc. However wifi tethering is also not working. I enable it but I think it can't work as router. And lastly, I tried to send a file to my phone via bluetooth and it also enables but no other device sees it. I also have low sound on the phone and I can't hear people I am talking to.
So I got frustrated this saturday and downgraded to official 4.4.4. But it was same. Later I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone, installed recovery software. With that recovery mode I cleared all caches but the problem still countinued. Lastly I installed an unofficial modified kitkat to my phone but those problems still appears. I don't know why this phone is so problematic for me. I don't know if it is software related or hardware related. Now that my warranty is no longer valid.
Could you give me some ideas to attempt to solve these issues?

Hi,
I had dropped my phone maybe 1 or 2 times but not from high heights.(~ a meter) But that was more than 5 months ago. I am having this issue since last 2 months and I am sure that I didn't drop or harm my phone in any way. However I wash my phone, do you think that could cause that? Just effecting wifi and bluetooth components?
It's not true about dropping the phone make that errors appear, there are many people with same issues, this phone have manufacturing problems, it's not software
My brother have same problem and he never dropped the phone. Just take a look in Sony forums.
Btw, my brother's phone lost Bluetooth connection, NFC, WiFi, Sometimes WiFi works making some pressing in the NFC spot some seconds, but sucks anyway :/

How can i make the wifi stable? it drops in and out sometimes.
Wifi problem
my sony xperia zr has the same wifi problem it says scanning trys to connect the signal drops and again starts scanning..
I stopped the wifi service and restarted my phone and the wifi worked for a day and again the same proble.
Do anyone has a solution for this??
I have been facing the issue of wifi not connecting, since my upgrade to 5.1.1.
My research has led me to believe that the issue may be software based. However I'm not an expert in the field. And i was thinking of downgrading back to an older version of lollipop when the wifi was not dropping.
Can anyone advise on whether this may be a smart move, or a completely useless one?
Also is there a diagnostic protocol I can go through that could help me figure out for sure whether my wifi is busted physically, as some of you suggest here.
Thanks
Josette
I've tried the method "settings global put tether_dun_required 0" but when i reboot my Z5, the value comes back to 1 ... (and of course wifi tethering is not working, going thru USB is ok)
I'm discussing various points here. Check out everyone of this point and get a fair idea from where problem is originating.
1) Go to WiFi Settings > Keep wifi awake during sleep. Here the string value should be "Always"
2) Under stock firmware there are numerous battery optimisation. Some of them kill WiFi so battery can saved. Now disable this features if you want no drops in WiFi.
3) If both of don't work, head over to Xperia ZR General > Search for your specific device FTF. Flash it via flash tool. This should reset all wifi drivers. Don't opt or apply any battery features and use WiFi. If still issue exits then you're in bad luck.
4) Check for other WiFi access points. Check your own router's webpanel and see somewhere broadcasting and multicast signals are ticked. Also check your WiFi is at 100% of it's performance ( 100% transmit power)
5) Hardware issue. Most of the software part is not causing issues so it's safe to say a hardware issue is causing this. Now, long time ago when 5.0 was released for our device I read article regarding ZR. The user had constant WiFi drops. His issue was that his WiFi soldering was poor inside hardware. He soldered it again and his wifi drops were no longer a problem.
People also experience various bluetooth/tethering issue. It's important that people should gain knowledge about firmware flashing techniques so that device would get reset and you yourself could diagnose the problem. 1 in 0.7k unit has software/hardware issue in manufacturing. Sony provides diagnostic app, search in play store ( I'm not sure about this). Hope this answer helps many.
