Is the option for location based wifi(Ortsbezogenes Wifi in germany) activated? If yes, Try disabling it.
Else you could Try flashing new Fw with FT

Sometimes have problems with wifi too. Disconnects and after a few seconds it reconnects. I also have to disable and enable wifi sometimes because I haven't got any connection to the Internet anymore.
I flashed stock Rom one month ago with wiping data but nothing changed.

Yeah it is pretty poor on the Z. I will wait on reviews before I buy another Sony phone. I like there phones a lot, but the wifi quality is just ridiculous. I replaced my router at home so I could access it in the normal spots at home my old iphone 3gs worked fine. I'm not looking at upgrading for another year, but when I do, I'm going to wait, look here, see what people say. Unfortunately with the Z, no-one really mentioned it being bad prior to me buying it...
It is better with some devices than others. We got these expensive cisco units at work, and my wifi at work is crap now. The old airport was fine...

Most of us pre-ordered and got an extra item instead.
Some got the Sony MDR-1R
Some got the DK-26
Some got bluetooth speakers etc etc
Maybe that's the reason. I don't think people can still get those items anymore when they buy the phone, but these without the protector included are still from the old batch.
Who knows...

Mine gets very hot at the top when browsing or charging so your not alone.

install cool tool from Google Play and watch the load of CPU,maybe some app is heating your phone
Most of the heat is from de module for internet, it needs a nuclear power central to keep it running, and that is creating the heat.
Sent from my Xperia T using xda app-developers app
The xperia t has a overheat control process running at all times so and switches the phone off when it gets too hpt so as long as your phone is on it is fine. Sony xperia support said that to me

When i got my phone from the store it got so hot i was worried it was going to damage itself
after flashing other roms the problem fixed itself
iv noticed that i now have the app
overheat control 1.0

im currently using timinators xperiment rom and its on here as well
Are you a long distance from your local cell service towers?
I noticed when I travelled that if I was far from the local towers the phone would work harder to maintain a connection and the battery would also drop very quickly. How many bars on your signal strength?
I have full signal at home and I was at home when it was overheating.
But at my grandmars I have to jump up and down at the window with one hand on my head, offering my phone to the sky to send a text message. it hasnt got any wamer since I flashed timin8rs xperiment rom. In fact it barly gets warm at all.... even when pushing the phone realy hard. The battery seems to be lasting a little longer as well

Wifi short range XPERIA V

I relised that xperia v wifi range is very short.
I have compered lg prada and xperia,lg can find poor signal and connect,xperia cant find it.
Any way to increase wifi range?
Sent from my LT25i using xda app-developers app
Re: Wifi short range
Its the same for the Xperia T (maybe a lot of Sony devices)
And for me, there is no way to increase it with some apps or anything else.
you just have to get closer... Sony is not cool on this point.
Alternatively, you can search on Google how to reduce interference with a wi-fi signal from the router, or something like that.

I've loaded it, too. The only change I thought it brought is that now it takes 2 or 3 seconds longer for connecting to networks with good or average power. It might be holding longer to the weaker ones, could it be? But that difference is marginal.

I pushed the original files back. My conclusion is: the difference is marginal to non-existent.
My wives phone (xperia T) also has poor wifi signal, while my HTC one x+ works ok at identical locations.
Would changing the official rom to a custom rom, have a positive influence on the wifi signal reception, or is this not possible due to the limitations of the hardware of this Sony phone?
Thanks Mark

Have you guys ever connected your phone to Bluetooth device such as external speaker, hands free etc? I have this problem too, and it seems everything started when I connected my phone to my mini boombox (using Bluetooth). Somehow the problems gone, I don't know how. But I remember I've restore my nandroid backup several times, not because of this issue, but I've crashed my camera after trying Xperia z2 camera app and libraries.

I haven't connected anything of sorts to my phone, only the headphones that came in the box with the phone.
But I have been using headphones with the Z1 since last November, and the glitch started to show up since last week only.
And it seems there are a lot of users affected by this, saw a similar post on Sony's forums, which is already eight pages long.

When you power on the SW it connects automatically if the bluetooth on the phone is already switched on! It lasts 3-4 days with normal use
I'm thinking of going to sw2 though.. And the post above me is true. I have no problem with it in terms with battery and connectivity
I just bought SW2! It's perfect! So much better than the SW1
Now my xperia z just updated to 4.3 is it still suitable and good for sw1? Because sme says aftr updted to 4.3 it have too much issues....
