Hello all,
am I the only one who experiences wlan trouble after the upgrade to 4.3?
The symptoms are :
It often can't see my home network at all, in fact it sees just one neighboring network (using WEP) at all where there should be about 8. Only a reboot helps in this situation (neither disabling/enabling WLAN nor switching in and out of flight mode does any good).
It often looses an existing connection with my home network. This is really bad, because in one instance it caused me to download a 100MB app update over my cellular connection. This really hurt.
The Hotspot is unreliable. When I try to connect to the phones Hotspot from my LG G pad 8.3, the connection often initially fails. Once again, the only cure seems to be a reboot of the phone (sometimes more than one reboot is required for reliable operation).
This is so frustrating that I consider to go back to 4.1 if there is no fix.
Any ideas?
That's odd... I don't have issues like that. Try to reflash the Rom using flashtool or repair your phone via pcc. Good luck!
I also have problem with lower signal. Not a tragic situation, but the signal is almost two lines lower than OmniRom.
I flashed italian release of 4.3 stock using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50363622#post50363622
Same issue here with previous firmware though...
I was hoping upgrade would fix it (don't have it yet with SFR).
I have been reading the exact opposit in another post.
Wait n see...
I've noticed two things with WIFI and the official 4.3:
1) Being close to the router (about 2 meters, no walls) when in the living room) the WIFI indicator shows a weaker signal than it did with 4.1
And: the router shows my phone to connects with 150MBit via WIFI while it maxed out at 54MBit with 4.1
2) When in my office (about 11 meters from the router, 2 reinforced concrete floors and a few walls between phone and router) the WIFI indicator shows a way stronger signal than it did with 4.1
There's no change in connection speed but according to the router the phone signal is way stronger than with 4.1 (40 to 60% increase)
I haven't really looked into it, just skimmed the surface of this issue, since I noticed I don't get disconnected on VOIP calls anymore since the update when in my office
I think I found the trigger for my WLAN woes: it's Bluetooth! The LG g pad 8.3 comes with a companion app for Android phones. It allows the acceptance of calls on the tablet, among other things. If I have Bluetooth activated on my T and the App is running, wifi on the Xperia T is almost unusable, if I disable Bluetooth, everything seems fine so far.

I always have bluetooth turned off and I still got the wifi signal problem.

Hi,
got some real uncool problems with my RAZR i and wanted to know if anyone is also experiencing this kind of things.
First there ist the WLAN:
Not always, but most times, my WLAN connection stops working. It still shows that there ist signal and the logo is blue, but i can't down or upload anything or veeeeeeeery slow (1 - 5 KB/s). This happens when i try to download something bigger (apps for example) I always have to reconnect the WLAN. Speedtest.net shows the same thing, first test works queit well but the next tests simply show a connection error or have a ping about 5000ms. In comparison to my old Milestone 2 the Razr I is just awefull at this.
Second thing is about the signal of my cellular network. I live in germany and my provider is Vodafone, a very good network here. But sometimes i unlock my phone and there is no signal at all. After a couple seconds it returns and shows a full signal.
Am I the only one who git this kind of bugs? If it is so, maybe I should try to get a new one. Otherwise I'm going to stay with my Milestone 2 for a bit longer and send the Razr back.
I did suffer the same WLAN problems. By the way, i'm german too.
I reconfigured my Fritz!Box 7270 to 802.11 b+g only (no more n) and a bit later i changed the WiFi-Frequencies to 2.4ghz only on the razr i [you'll find it at WLAN -> three dots -> advanced(?)], didn't have any problems since. I live in Berlin, with the worst network eplus i never had these connectivity problems you suffer. Signal is a bit stronger than on my old JellyTime Desire HD, laying them side by side, the DHD has -95dBm while the razr i is around 89dBm.
Please tell me if the WiFi mode change ends your problem.
Hello,
I had the same problem with WLAN. So I tried this solution and is working so far.
I have a TP-link router and I configured it to miss the "n" .
My RAZR I set to 2.4Ghz too

Hello guys,
do you also suffering from low WiFi reception like mentioned on the following sources:
Thread in Official Sony Forum
[...]but the real kicker on the SP is WiFi reception. Abominable, horrifying, atrocious -- all valid words to describe the range at which it'll stay connected. We assume Sony will be able to address this with some kind of future firmware tweak, unless the antennae were lifted from the back of a truck in Shenzhen in 2007. When connected, the signal remains solid, but at 20 feet away from a router with one wall in its path, it's incredible to see it just about maintain a connection.

It would be great if you could do some comparison of signal strength between Xperia SP and another phone on the same location and post the signal strength of both. You can see signal strength with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer
Thank you!
For me the range isnt that important, it's the fact that the wifi suddenly turns off by itself and it wont reconnect even though I was standing beside the router. I had to forget my home wifi then reboot the phone to get it to work again. Sony really needs to work on their software

The range kind of sucks, but the speed is unaffected. Would be nice if it can be improved though. Never got disconnected before.

I faced same problem as javidben. There is no problem with wifi range. I get almost full signal 10 ft away with 2 walls in between.
The problem is random disconnections. When disconnected, the phone remains disconnected from wifi anywhere between 2 mins up to 15 mins, for no apparent reason. When I just visit Wifi settings, it re-connects to the wifi network immediately. Very irritating indeed, having to do this from time to time.
Also, sometimes when I checked on my wifi router, I saw two entries (having same MAC address) for my Xperia SP in the 'connected devices' section. I was thinking this might be a router problem, but my Note 2 connects fine to the same router without any of these issues.
I'm connecting to 802.11n and I haven't experienced any problems with range, disconnects or throughput on my XSP.

I have the exact same problem on my Defy+ running Android 2.3.7. I always thought this is an Android bug. So I think It comes from the power saving function (see Wi-Fi sleep policy) not working properly all the time and is not a device specific problem. Am I right?
On the other hand Sony has implementied its own power saving function (Stamina mode), so I expect this should not happen if Stamina mode is turned on.

I turned on Stamina mode, and tested over a period of 12 hours, using it intermittently, and disconnections are not happening any more
My Note2 is connected to Wifi all the time, but I did not see any disconnections, so looks like it may not be a generic Android problem.
I'll try this stamina mode and post here the result, also Xperiancing wifi dropp off,

I'm trying the stamina mode, too.
Let's hope that this will solve the problem.
But of course, it's wierd that stamina mode can make wifi more stable, because stamina mode auto turns off wifi when phone is in standby mode...

Probably your router firmware or settings, I used to have lots of problems with android devices having weird problems with wifi, bought a new router and they all started working fine

My SGSII and SGSIV have not any problem with the same router. Besides, whether or not I 'd buy a new router, I couldn't ask cafes and other access points change their router just because xperia sp has wifi issues...
I have absolutely no problem with signal strength or deconnection.
I'm using my phone on different routers (home, work, friends, ...), no problem at all.
Xperia SP C5303.
there was a little issue with the wifi network on .211 fw
but upgrading to .284 solved it. now i have full bars everywhere. :good:
For me, I am facing exactly the same problem as some of you. The range sucks, I am only 15 ft (5m) away from my router with a door, and I get 0-1 bars only
Secondly, the WiFi does switch off randomly, but when I go to the settings and check, it connects again.

dams SONY same probleem
my SP laggy and disconnected.
Seems like it's common problem then, I thought it was just me..
The Wi-fi seems to be really wonky on the SP, I've tested it sitting on the stairs beside my router for a while and it fluctuates between full and 2 bars of signal is less than a meter distance..
I've also experienced random disconnects but I think that's something to do with Wi-Fi power saving of some sort turning it off when it doesn't think you're using it.. Even if you're mid conversation with someone on whatever social media site or IM app...
Hopefully it can be fixed by Sony pushing a software update, which if it can I assume will be pushed with the next iteration of Android.

Where can I find .284 fw?
In the sony website says .257 is the latest version for Xperia SP.
And this .284 is a original fw?
Thanks.
I have noticed lately that my Moto X will sometimes not connect to my home WiFi. At all. Until I reboot the phone. Toggling WiFi on and off, and forgetting the network do nothing. Other devices (other phones, computers, tablets, TV, etc) are all connected fine, but won't connect. It can see the network, but that's it.
It's only my Moto X and only my home WiFi. It only happens once or twice a week, but it is annoying to have to reboot.
Mostly unrelated, but my Bluetooth icon doesn't always change state. I've noticed that sometimes even hours after getting out of my car the Bluetooth icon is white instead of dim gray like it should be when not connected. That doesn't seem to have any bearing on the ability to connect, just something I've noticed. Usually toggling BT off and on again fixes the issue.
Phone is a rooted 4.4 Verizon Moto Maker edition. I do have SnapDragon Battery Guru installed but I never set anything up to save power. There is a setting in stock WiFi settings about consuming less power on WiFi, but that would seemingly impact all networks, not just home, and it would only be in play once I am connected to the network, not before.
I do use Tasker to enable my WiFi when I get near home (based on cell towers when and I'm NOT connected to BT in my car), so WiFi typically shuts off when I leave home, turns on when I get to work (based on calendar events), turns off when work is done (calendar) and then turns on when I exit my car (BT disconnects and I'm connected to one of a few nearby towers). Only seems to happen when I get home from work, so it could be something in Tasker not properly enabling WiFi? If I notice it again I will try to connect to another different network before rebooting, if there any unsecured networks nearby at the time.
Thanks for any advice.
FYI... I use Tasker almost twice a day to shutdown wifi and turn on bluetooth (among other things) and have never had an issue connecting to any wifi. Not saying that is not a possibility in your case but it certainly hasn't been my experience.

Thanks. I don't think it's Tasker, I've used it for years and never had any issues either.
I used screen record in Gravity Box to show what it does when I try to connect. It did what I described above upon arriving home from work today.
https://copy.com/fU1Gork0RZZmkXA
I tried connecting to my home network and then an xfinity network that uses a Web login or whatever to authenticate after connecting. Neither would work.
It would show full strength until I tap connect and then it goes to the lowest signal and does nothing.
Rebooting now, I guess.
I have the same problem. Some other user advised me to configure my router as "G only" and it has worked.

Thanks. I've had some other issues with my router lately too, so I did a factory reset yesterday afternoon. There were some plaguing speed and latency issues on wifi only. I learned that the smart TV while plugged in to ethernet, was still setup to use wifi. I don't know the spec on the wifi adapter in it, but I changed it to ethernet to see if the link speed for wifi devices would go up. It did jump from 24Mbps to 65Mbps, but still felt sluggish.
I will monitor it this week and see if it still has issues connecting. I don't want to limit to the G speeds, as everything that uses the wifi is N, I believe. There are three of us, all with new phones (2 Moto X and an S4), and one laptop that is used often, but it was bought in late 2013, so it (probably) has an N card.
I enjoy the battery life that wifi allows, but can't stand the 200-400KB/s speeds it seems to be offering. It has to be something with my home wifi, because when I'm on my wifi at work (fiber line) and load gifs from reddit they hit 2-3MB/s according to my network monitor.
If you have a dual band router.... connect to the 5ghz frequency.... that worked better for me. The 2.4ghz had a better range, but kept getting page errors or disconnects

Hi
I received my 3T yesterday. I am having issues with WIFI
WiFi network drops frequently and the mobile data is used for some time and then WIFI is connected again. See attached .. This happens even when moving between rooms of my house
I think this happens when the mobile wifi changes from 5GHZ to 2.4GHZ when I move away from router
I have updated to OxygenOS 3.5.4 as soon as I received the mobile
The signal strength of the 3T is also very low
I have a 2 year old moto X 2014 and the moto beats the 3T at every place in my house
The signal strength and the wifi speed both are better in moto X
I have checked at various places
I have wiped the cache. Tried changing 2.5GHz to 5GHz
Changed Channels.. Tried all the things that I could find on the internet
But still problems
So is this a hardware problem and should I ask for a replacement? Or is this some Software bug which can be resolved
My router is ASUS RTN66U and a lot of other devices work seamlessly on that router and hence pls dont suggest to change the router
Awaiting replies
Regards
Ajjaykummar
I think this is a bug related to 3.5.4. On 3.5.3 my WiFi worked a lot better, but LTE Advanced is faster on 3.5.4. You can try a custom rom or downgrading, there's also a leaked OxygenOS 4 rom out.
Do you have wifi issues now when u have 3.5.4
I don't want to install new Roms. As I may have to return it in case this is a faulty piece
I'm having the exact same problem. I stream a lot. Very annoying when music video or gaming gets disconnect so often. My Galaxy Note 4, & s6 works fine.

yes, it started on 3.5.4.
here is a screencap of the issue
You can see in the screen cap that the mobile is connected to ASUS5 (5GHZ)
Then as I move away from the router the signal weakens and then the wifi disconnects .. and then it connects to ASUS (2.4GHZ)
Earlier it was connecting to ASUS but with a exclamation mark (without internet).. I waited for 15 minutes but it did not connect
Then I would connect if I switch off and on the wifi toggle
After that I did a factory reset and now you can see the screencap
It connects after a minor delay.. So is this alright
My other mobile - Moto X 2014 simply switches instantly from 5GHz to 2.4GHz and vice versa.. not even half of second is taken on moto x
Give the device a static IP use 2.4 network as it's more of a long range band. I tend to use the 5 band for stationary stuff. My WiFi works fine but all my home devices have a static IP.
This are the things that I did
1) Factory reset
2)Use Legacy DHCP client (under Developer options)
3)Disable Smart Wifi switcher (Advanced Wifi setting)
4)Static IP
This seems to solve the disconnection issue .. I still feel the wifi signal is weak compared to my other devices
Hope this helps someone facing the problem
regards
I had the same Problem on OOS 3.5.3/3.5.4/4.0 at the OnePlus 3T.
I tried every Solution on the internet and nothing worked for me.
But after i looked into my Router-Setup i saw the DHCP Section where i selected 'Renew DHCP every Day'
>>> Screenshot what i mean - imgur.com/KakQX3i.png <<<
After that it works perfect. No connection-issues anymore.
mine is already one day..
I thought it was resolved... but again I noticed slow wifi speeds
thinking of replacement
haven't had the phone long enough to experience disconnects but wifi is definitely slow...
I have a 200mbps connection, getting 160mbps on desktop with LAN cable, 110mbps on my OPO, only 50mbps on my OP3T....
all tested through speedtest with the same server location.
OP3T is chinese version flashed with oxygenos 4.0.1
edit: later tested again with OP3T getting up to 90mbps but still 20 less than the OPO
I have same issus like lajay. The Galaxy S7 from my wife works perfekt in the same Network!
Hello all together,
I'm considering to buy this phone (actually for quite some time ). Apart from the OnePlus service (which should not be part of this thread right now) what bothers me most are the Wifi problems I am reading about.
Problem is, when reading throgh the internet, you never known whether all or only the people with problems are speaking up.
So maybe to lower mine and the doubts of others, people owning this phone could quickly post wether they do experience wifi problems or not.
Thanks in advance
My OP3T did have some major wifi issues when I first got it. Regardless of whether I connected it to my router's 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz bands, it would momentarily disconnect every few minutes and then reconnect within seconds. It wasn't a major issue for most tasks, though some games that required a constant internet connection did get interrupted. Oddly, the wifi worked flawlessly on my school's network, so I'm assuming the issue is router dependent.
Then OOS 4.0.3 was released a few weeks ago, and with it the "disable IPv6" option. I had read that IPv6 did cause some problems with older routers, but I couldn't force it off on mine. Enabling the disable option on the phone seems to have cured it of all its disconnect problems. It's working consistently now.
No problems at all.
Ever

Please report back. Would be interesting if this is some kind of definite fix
i have not used the Stock OOS Rom Was using this phone from like a month and running with custom roms tried many and i have not seen any wifi issues
I've had the one plus 3t since December and I have never had any wifi issues. I've used stock OOS and Los and wifi has always been great for me
Hello,
I'm having no problems with the WiFi, no problems at all. But I do have a problem with cellular data, it randomly turns off in the middle of a YouTube video or while browsing social media. I'm hoping they fix this in the future.
Cheers!
Wifi is pretty good... when you're sitting next to the router...
I get about 60mbits down when I'm next to the router and about 1mbit when I'm in my room. My oneplus one, my dads iPhone, my laptop and my shield tv do not have this issue.
It seems like the Wifi range is absolute crap which is really the only thing I don't like about this phone.
Thanks for the answers so far. Not as bad as I thought

I heard about the lack of speed but this is by far the slowest I read about
I just got my 3T two weeks ago. It came with Marshmellow and I immediately upgraded to OOS 4.0.3.
I am connected to a 5.GHz WiFi connection in my house and never had any problems.
I don't play games on my phone so I can't really test gaming.
I am Systemless Rooted with Magisk with a pass for SafatyNet, meaning I should be able to use mobile payments but I have yet to try.
I doubt the fact that I am rooted is making a difference in terms of my WiFi connectivity.
I can test my 2.4Ghz connection in the future. I have not done anything with IPv6 or modified anything in regards to my WiFi settings to make things better. I simply connected my phone to my 5GHz network and started downloaded apps and etc.
I hope this helps.
Didn't have any issues yet. The only thing I agree on is the poor WiFi range. I had exactly zero inhouse issues neither with my iPhone 6s plus nor with my nexus 6p. But with my oneplus, I loose connection in my kitchen, which is like 10 meters far from my router. Pretty afraid of this being persistent.

I think suppose there are definitely a lot of people without any problem concerning wifi connection drops.
The thing with the poor connection is definitely something but that I already knew.
No wifi issue for me.. Stock OOS 4.0.3 rooted
As far as I know it doesn't necessarily connected with the problems in the android device. My causing is using the same phone and as I remember he used to face some issues but later he found out that the phone works well, but he has issues in the wi-fi router he is using. To avoid this kind of problem I would like to recommend you to get acquainted with the following article 192.168.l.l login . Hope it will be helpful for you!
