[Q][SOLVED] Wifi not working on Z1s? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried contacting sony and someone that I could hardly understand said he couldn't help. I then said I would just like to return the phone and thanks for your help. His response : "Well that's your problem. Goodbye"
After that nice experience, I thought I would ask here.
I can connect to a wifi network, but I can't actually access the internet. This happens on every wifi network I've tried. Data works fine, and wifi will connect to any network, but I can't go anywhere.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Solved. It was a hardware problem according to tmobile.

have u tried repair ur phone by PCC?
or simply restart it.
or check proxy setting if something set wrongly.
when u connect to wifi it means hardware is OK then while u cannot send / receive data it should be software problem.

HELP: Shows Signal but cannot use for calling,data,messaging!!!

On my Phone(Andromeda 2.0 Themed), I get the indication of having 3g or any signal at all and the minute I attempt to send a message, make a call, or surf the web it is unable to send that message, unable to make that call, and unable to surf the web. Help on how to fix this?
NOTE: A flash back to stock DID NOT help this problem at all.
EDIT: Changing APN isn't really working(Cant leave the APN type as not set because it auto sets it to internet+mms when I save) and I am starting to get a little frustrated. The reception was really working fine earlier today but now its just weird all over. Please help me out you guys, I really need this working.
EDIT2: Please help guys, I really need my service up for tomorrow.
EDIT3: I am going to AT&T today to swap out my SIM card!!!! I am all Odin'ed out and I will check back if this works.
First try to enable airplane mode. Then turn it off.
If that does not work check your apn settings, under wireless and network, mobile networks, access points

Doing that now.... The signal bar indicates no connected network.... Trying the second thing you suggested....
For the second option I am under Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/Access Points.
My options from there are AT&T 310 410(the text under it says wap.cingular)
What do i do from there?????
That reads correct. Unless you are on rogers. Hmmm. I am on the same rom but do not have the same issue. You may want to manually configure you're apn. You may want to search the captivate forum for at&t apn settings. I think you can find them in one of the stickies
I am on att dude. Thanks for the advice. You are positive its the APN though? This happened to me on Phoenix Reloaded too.

No I am not sure, I have not had your problem but this is where I would start if it did. The apn settings are posted in the captivate development stickies, captivate directory
Okay, so I configured the APN settings to what was found in the thread. Problem is the only thing I cannot configure is the APN type. Hm. Any help?
I am sorry I hope someone who has done this reads this and has a suggestion but I have not had to do this
Read through the sticky, maybe yet has been discussed
Read through it and nothing. It wont let me keep the APN type as not set and it automatically sets it to internet+mms. Any ideas?
Have you posted in the andromeda thread? Maybe the devs may have some ideas
I just did, hopefully they have an answer and if they dont hopefully someone will post an answer here....
I had the same issue back a few weeks ago. I called att, got a replacement phone, and it did it again. Turned out to be a bad SIM.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
So do I just need a new sim card???
Well, this sim card JUST started doing this. So are you sure it is just the sim? I mean, if I go to the store to get a new sim, will they ask to see my phone? Will I have to flash back to stock before I get a new SIm?

Do you think the person in the store will have any idea what a custom rom is? Chances are they will change it no questions asked
Okay, do you think I should just play it safe and reset to stock though?
There is no harm in doing so.

Well, thanks, I will head first thing in the morning.
I got the same problem at certain locations, such as my university. Haven't been able to get much help... Gonna try getting the SIM changed as it's a pretty old SIM. Weird thing is that it works fine on my Sony Ericsson G705/W715.
So almost two months of owning my Captivate that I got from Rogers (BNIB from Kijiji) and I noticed that at a certain area in my school, I have 3/5 bars of signal yet I can't seem to text/call and use the network. Is this a network problem or phone problem? Or can it also be my SIM? My SIM card is pretty old. However everything was fine when I use my Sony Ericsson W715 in the same area.
I should add that my friends on the same network beside me, they can text/call fine, which leads me to believe that this is a phone problem. A poster over at Howard Forums suggested network congestion, but it seems impossible because everyone else can use their phone fine.
I've tried different modems too, but it doesn't help. It's like my Captivate doesn't want to work at certain areas of my school.

I am just going to change my SIM. It is about 4 years old now and I think that means it needs to be replaced. I actually worked fine at my home before and now it cant even find a network. I am going to head out for a new SIM in a little bit, I will get back to you on if it works then.

[Q] Internet Troubleshooting

I just bought this new phone 14days ago. I got my number transferred from a prepaid to a new simcard. Everything was good until they actually ported my number to the new simcard. After that i have NO internet at all.
I have a 3G icon and can call/sms but as i try open the browser it says. The page cannot be find. Also when i turn my phone off and on it says after i dialed my pincode: Error cant apply settings to modem.
My provider is T-mobile here from the netherlands, they had some interference at the beginning at the week, but i spoke with them today and they can see everything should work. I tried to make a new APN with the guidance from T-mobile but it dosent help. Also rebooted it 4 times from fabric settings, still nothing.
Can say that i havent done anything with the phone, its not hacked/rooted or whatever. Basically in same shape as when i bought it.
I read another tread that also descripes the problem i have but these phones are rooted, and didnt really get any solution out of it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-995363.html
Dont know if its any help, but i can connect to the internet with my WIFI connection at home.
Does anyone have ANY idea to what i can do?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe also nessasary to mention i DID put my SIM in another device. Still same outcome. NO internet still
Well if you haven't got data on the other phone either then I am pretty sure its a sim/provider issue and has got nothing to do with your phone at all

Yea you would think that, they told me in the store today that was not the case. Funny thing is i tryed to switch it again into another devince, and still nothing. However, as I went into the store i got a new simcard that didnt fix the prob. Suspecting some internal flaw?
Anyway, gonna call LG and use my vip change possibility so we'll see if its the device itself or not.
T-mobile offcourse claims that its a software prob, as this often happens on first batch phones

[Q] Fed up with Galaxy Ace

Hi Team,
I have heard lot about this forum and hope to get some gud suggestions from you guys.
I bought my Samsung Galaxy ace GT-S5830 with android 2.3.6 Gingerbread OS 6 months back but slowly I started facing few problems when my friends noticed and told me that your phone sometimes says switch off.
I also realized that sometimes even if the airtel network is there still i get an error message that mobile network not available I had to switch off the phone to get it normal.
Again people text me but it goes on pending and gets delivered after hours. I showed this problem to the service center they flashed my mobile but the problem persist I also tried changing my sim card but still all in vain. Now i am literally fed up with this phone.
Please assist me I dont know wat to do :crying:
Note: The phone is not rooted.
Thank you
err, are you sure this is because of the phone..? not the network..? because i never face any of the problems you mention..
may be you should try flashing stock rom with newest baseband for your region, find it on sammobile..

He said the service centre guys reflashed the rom. but agree that the sms thing could be network problem.
Faulty battery/pins (Switch offs)
Faulty hardware (Antenna?)
That's all I can identify.
Hi Guys !!!
Thanks for sharing your views
@demiorkan
The mobile automatically does not gets switched off but i need to do it manually as it keeps on prompting the error message "Mobile network not available" though I can see full network on my mobile.
I would really appreciate if I get any suggestions from your side.
Let me know if any more information is required.
If you dont mind you could try flashing another stock rom and see if that works out. If it did not, then it's probably a hardware problem OR the network (as mentioned). Try your SIM card on another phone as well, that should prove if there is problem with the network or not.
Mostly it might be a firmware problem. Service center might not have flashed a new firmware but simply wiped and gave back. (can't be sure on that). So I recommend on using ODIN and flash new firmware. Google is your best friend on this.
Secondly about the network, Turn on flight mode once and turn it off, you'll get the signal. You can even do some debugging by going to the testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and toggle the radio and the preferred connection type and stuff. But if the place where you are is such that you get low signal, then don't try any things on phone as it's ultimately the network problem. Trust Me, the place where I stay, I rarely get proper reception and Even I'm on the same network. Flight Mode trick saves the unnecessary reboot.

Question Mi 11 ultra isn't getting phone signal

Hey everyone. I bought a Mi 11 Ultra from china but I don't know why isn't getting signal at all. It detects the SIM but it doesn't let me make or receive calls neither messages, and obviously it doesn't connect to mobile networks. Can somebody help please?
Where are you, what network are you trying to use and have you got some screenshots of your network and SIM settings?
Hey, thanks for answering! Im in Mexico and about the network, any of them. I thought of changing the ROM from the CN to the global one to see if that help, but I need the mobile data to unlock the bootloader, and since the phone isn't getting signal, I cant do that.
P. S. Sorry, what do you mean by SIM settings?
Attached are screenshot of my SIM settings. Yours will be similar. Make sure your apn is set correctly. Make sure your SIM is recognised. Just basic setting checks. May be try other sim slot and of course, make sure it's right way up for either slot.
Without any screenshot I cannot see what may be wrong, so start again with SIM. Shiny side outwards and make sure it is recognised.
Hi again. Yeah, I have tried with both slots for the Sim, each one the correct way, but is the same result for both of them. Thanks for the example of the SIM settings, now I attach mine. As you may see, the SIM is getting recognized, just don't know why isn't getting signal. I've also tried with other company's SIMs, but I get no different result.
Looks good. I think you need to try with another SIM on different network and same. Try this SIM in different phone as it looks all good on screenshot but may be provider has not enabled it properly. If different network SIM known to be working doesn't work in your it must be hardware, hopefully not .
Also look at settings, all specs. Check SIM status and press 5 times on memory for deep phone info.
Hello and thank you again! Yeah... I've tried different SIM from different companys, all of them known to be working, but none of them has worked on this phone. I'm starting to lose hope... But here are the other settings, just to make sure isn't about software
The screenshot show that your radio is off. This is saying that your phone SIM is not turned on for some reason.
There is not much anyone remotely can do, if you are unable to get it turned on.
Maybe someone else has an idea? If not, and it cannot be resolved by resetting the mobile network ( in settings somewhere) or phone reset, then it may be back to seller as a hardware fault. Sorry I can't help. Let's hope someone else can?
Thanks a lot for your effort. Since you told me that the problem could be the hardware, I asked the seller about this issue and he told me that this problem is covered by the warranty, so I'll send the phone back to them. Again thanks a lot for answering!!
Just for info have you seen this thread about att? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/not-a-recognized-device-by-att.4462649/#post-87088003
No, I hadn't heard about that, but still, I wouldn't hesitate on changing my provider if another one works, but since I tried changing to another provider SIM and nothing happened, I guess it was a hardware problem. Thanks a lot for the info!
Try doing manual search of network. If it shows nothing then try checking network frequencies of your network provider and comparing them with this phone supported frequencies. Sometimes its due to your network provider doesn't operate the frequency which this phone supports.

Question Mi 11 with burned Wifi - locked Mi account- anyway of accessing internet to input my password in?

Hey,
So I wiped the data on my Mi11 before sending it to repairs under warranty for the burned wifi problem (need to send to another country), but now that I turn on my mobile phone it says it is connected to mi account and only other option next to activating is to connect to wifi. Which obviously I can't.
I tried inserting SIM, but no option to Mobile internet and I tried downloading PC suite and it says I need to upgrade phone before connecting...
So for phone being in this state it also doesn't work to check serial numbers and IMEI.
1. So is there a way to connect somehow to internet or bypass this to connect to mobile internet for me to unlock the phone?
2. Is it ok for the repair service to receive the phone in this state? if I include IMEI where they can check warranty and all etc. or do they need it unlocked, will be hard to communicate with them as I need to send it to other country
Thank you!

You just had to delete your data and send it, the rest is not your problem since the phone is guaranteed, in case of doubt attach a photocopy of the invoice and / or a scan of the IMEI of the label on the box and send all.
i don't know if it could help
but did you try to connect to internet via bluetooth tethering
Use usb c hub to Ethernet
Thank you guys for suggestions.
What I was afraid about was also that I lost my original box with serial and IMEI, but luckily I sent and email with IMEI before to service so I had that.
Anyway after first suggestion I tried to get internet somehow, but options are really limited after you wipe the phone and are locked out , so couldn't figure it out.
Well anyway, got my phone to a service center on the other side of the world and it was zero problems and they fixed my phone So problem solved.
While I love the phone I am worried this will happen again, or is the problem fixed with later versions or changed part in my mobile phone?
