Anyone know a way to keep the smartwatch 2 from messing up wifi? I'm on 4.3 6606
When I y to use wifi with the watch connected I get no data till I turn the watch off.
I have the same problem after the last update 4.3 version 10.4.B.0.569. Smartwatch app v 1.3.19 . I tried two different regions but still the same.
There are many other users with same problem here:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/wifi-problem-after-4-3-update-on-xperia-z/td-p/490591
Please modify the title of the discussion because it's hard to understand from results! I was opening a new one!
Put "problems" or "disconnection" please
Yep, I have exactly the same problem with WiFi when using my smartwatch 2 whilst on 4.3.
I tried 2 different ROMs from 4.3 with a wipe before flashing. Both had the same problem, so ended going back to 4.2.2 until someone can find a fix.
Other users with this problem in "4.3 bugs" discussion in general forum.
Same problem here! Still no news from sony though. Now i wish i hadnt updated to 4.3 at all !!! @@@

So i've done my own testing with this, and I think it has something to do with the 2.4ghz wifi radio. If the wifi is on 5ghz, i can connect no issue with the SW2 enabled, but if the wifi is 2.4ghz (or hotspot) it goes.. no
So yeah, until sony has a fix, it's either 5ghz or 4.2.2
do not know.....
I have this problem too
Anyone knows ig this affect other smart watches like Pebble or even bluetooth headphones/speakers?
The Asus tf prime had horrible bt problems with wifi enabled, could be similar?

Sorry, but it only worked for a few hours.
I found it.
What I did was, I took the wpa_supplicant.conf from fw 4.2.2 and replace the one in fw 4.3 and now I can use my SW2 without losing my wifi connection.
Your device has to be rooted.
Use explorer with root excess.
It can be found in here on your device: /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Don't forget to reboot your phone.
Enjoy your SW2 on fw 4.3
Cheers
Tnx for the info heyfawakka.
The thing is i am EXPECTING a solution from sony. Why should i have to find a fix for a bug ?

heyfawakka updated his post and he said it only worked for a few hours. You can root your phone and return to 4.2 or you can hope that sony releases a fix for this (i doubt it will be anytime soon )

You cannot downgrade at all. Every major release comes with a new bootloader which cannot be downgraded.

It depends on what phone you have. If you have the i9295, then you can downgrade. If you have the i537, then you cannot downgrade.

Just out of curiosity (don't really know if I can help) did you try going step by step (sequentially by each build) or did you try going straight to the newest one?

Here ya go, went with the NE3 firmware instead of the NH3, i'll slim it down as close as possible to a AOSP ROM.
The battery life is a lot better with the ROM
is there an option in 4.3 roms
to connect to a wifi network by typing its pin on the phone itself
Sir,
Where do you find 4.3 ROM? And please, be more specific about you question for relevant answer.
Thanks

We only have CM based 4.3. And if it is not working there, then you would not find it anywhere.

Couldn't get it to work it won't even update from 4.4.2
Any other possible way to root this device and get wifi
hotspot working? It's driving me nuts not being able to
use it specially since I have 100% unlimited data and mobile hotspot data and a LTE 49mbs up, 21mbs dwn speed at home. Is it not possible at all to flash a uk network provider rom on it at all? Like Vodafone or 3 UK?
Pls help
Upgraded to 6.0 with stock base and semi-stock kernel with root to avoid the triangle. Bluetooth will not play, it does connect, but no sound. For Wi-Fi hotspot, I'm on Straight Talk, and it is asking me to contact AT&T to authorize service.
Does anyone know if this is this a kernel or/and 6.0 base issue?
Used Base, Bootloader, and Radio from here

Straight Talk, as long as the CC payment clears, they don't care what you do, lol... I was thinking it was the kernel too. When I get home I will check out Despair. How is your BT?

Google sees your Straight Talk as AT&T so without modifying settings.db with "tether_dun_required" =0 tethering will not work.

Thank you for the info. Can you tell me how or point me in the right direction to modify settings.db if you get a chance?

That's what I've been told needs to be done but I haven't had any luck with it
does changing the kernel require root, or just unlocked bootloader? I tried rooting so I could update the build.prop file, but it soft bricked my phone after i rebooted phone and i needed to reflash stock (used no wipe option). So phone is working but no hotspot and no root (scared to try again after the last time!)

Do i need to be rooted to try a different kernel? I am willing to try the one you are using if it gives me back tethering. I dont use it much, and its my data to use, i dont want my carrier preventing me from using it! I have Cricket, i tried calling them to find out if the feature can be added and they said since its a bring your own device that it can't. it worked before i got the 6.0 update! WHY YOU DO THIS GOOGLE!
