[Q] WIFI is not functioning as it should - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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)

[SOLVED] WIFI very slow - unstable

10 days or so ago i installed paranoid android 0.5 and followed the instructions by the letter.
all was well except for the camera bug which i knew about...
then yesterday i started noticing internet connectivity issues as well as speed issues.
it seems that (running speedtest.net) i have no upload speed, and my download speed is also very unstabe (5000kbps one moment, 100kbps the next) and my signal icon also shows i do not have full reception while i allways did have full reception where i am currently sitting (about 2m from the router)
i have checked the other wireless devices to see whether it was a router issue but none of the other devices show any change in reception nor speed.
i'm about to do a clean install of GB, see what that does .. but i thought i should allready pose the question here in case there won't be any change .. perhaps anyone else who has the same issues ..
UPDATE: installed GB and no real succes. speedtest showed improved download speed (14000kbps) but still nearly no upload (31kbps)
i'm open to everyone's ideas.. just hope i haven't broken my SGN ..
going for yet another rom .. gonna try one of the more stable ICS roms...
i'll keep you guys updated.
OK update2 ...
just went and got myself another router just to be sure and it seems that it IS a router problem .. grrrr
let's continue the search ...:s too bad i wiped my rom for this ..
lol, change rom and or kernel, or modem, cause you didnt have it before it is likely its not router issue.
Or try newer versions of rom. Cm9 the base for paranoid and had wifi partially broken in some versions. if the paranoid used a cm9 with that issue, you have your cause.

seems it WAS the router ... changed channel, rebooted router, and all is well again ...
it's indeed strange that it happened out of the blue, but i guess that's technology for ya ..
it pushed me to install PA JB 1.3 (which i otherwise would have left to mature) but i am never going back to anything else now .. !
works perfectly for what i use it for (also as daily driver ..)
all's well that ends well
true, technology is weird indeed that way

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.
How to fix that???
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...

[Q] CM11 WiFi Connection Issue

Hey guys! I have only just joined XDA Developers so please excuse me if I have posted this thread in the wrong area. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance (GT-I9070) running stock Jellybean firmware (4.1.2 ITV) but as you all know the stock firmware for this device is full of bugs and freezes often. I successfully rooted my device and installed Team Canjica's CM10.2 ROM (4.3) from the thread on XDA Developers but the WiFi wasn't working. I then installed Maclaw's CM11 ROM (KitKat) because I thought that might solve the issue but it didn't. Here are the details:
Device scans for nearby wireless routers.
I type in the password for my home router.
Device saves router. "Saved, Secured" message displayed.
I tap on my home router in the list to connect.
Device says "Connecting" for a couple of seconds and then goes back to saying "Saved, Secured".
I browsed through the forums and some users suggested switching WiFi Frequency to Auto and turning off WiFi Optimisation but neither of those methods worked for me. The ROM was installed successfully and all other features are working properly so I don't think that is the issue. And my router settings are also alright since I am able to connect to it from my Nexus 7 (2013) properly. Can someone please provide me with a working solution for this issue? I will start receiving very high data usage bills soon because my data plan isn't unlimited. Thank you!
Is your ssid hidden (not broadcasted) by any chance? i had those troubles on hidden home network. Sometimes it worked after a while, sometimes it didn't. What helped me is to broadcast ssid for a moment, get connected with phone, remove broadcast (it will reboot router so phone will lose wifi for a moment). Then somehow it got connected normally
Sent from my SGS Adv. using xda-developers app.

I just checked my router settings and SSID Broadcast is enabled. I tried flashing OmniRom 4.3 thinking that this may be because of a problem with CyanogenMod but the problem still persists. Is there any additional kernel that I was supposed to install perhaps?
CyanogenMod 11 version ?

Just a detail to those who have not upgraded to JB stock and think it is impossible to use it without problems:
All bugs and freezes in Stock JB currently are perfectly finished.
I use STOCK, only with modified kernel (cocore 8.2) without freezes or bugs in months of use.
Enjoy the developer's work (cocafe), because without it JB probably would be impossible in SGA. However we have JB 100% functional and bug-free.
About KK and WIFI bugs:
The only KK (or based) ROM that used without WIFI bugs was RR 20140313.
In fact, the only issue is incall vol. in my experience.
WiFi Direct, Camera -> Panorama is laggy , Screen Recorder not working Not Tested
I also noticed that the battery is worse durability.
But I went back to JB Stock -- personal preference.

Actually I did try that method. Flashed Samsung's latest stock firmware I9070XXLQL (ITV) and then rooted and installed CoCore. To be honest overall performance was much better and UI smoothness was improved. But after a couple of days of regular usage with just a few basic applications such as a note taker, train arrival time, WhatsApp etc. the device started freezing up a couple of times a day again. I admit it worked much better than before but freezes and hangs were still quite frequent. Running OmniROM 4.3 now with no issues so far except for dialer FC, laggy panorama and non functional WiFi hotspot.

WIFI not working with cm-11-20140521-UNOFFICIAL-janice and cm11.0_janice.nova.201406
Same wifi problem with cm-11-20140521-UNOFFICIAL-janice and cm11.0_janice.nova.20140601. Wifi not connecting even after giving the right password (used to work correctly with jb4.1.2 and still works with desktop) only showing saving and connecting wifi. Then the wifi connection is shown to be saved. If wifi does not work with cyanogenmod11, then what's the use of upgrading?
Is wifi is not working in any custom kitkat Rom?
Please suggest a solution.
Try couple times to connect. I remember sometimes I had to reconnect 2-3 times before it gets connection. And the problem with kernel was about WIFI not turning on at all, it was not even search SSIDs.

[Q] Cm 10.2.1 And A Linksys EA4500

Updating from CM9, I notice that the phone now loses it's authentication with the router multiple times in one day. That is, the icon changes from blue to white, and no data can pass through. It is necessary to turn wi-fi off and then back on to restore the connection.
On the premises, we also have a Motorola G, Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus One. All but the GNex have no problems with this router. The GNex is still stock, so it would appear to have something to do with these older Samsung phones running 4.3. Searching Google, someone suggested forcing the phone to use the 2.4 band, and doing so with the GNex doesn't completely fix it, but it does happen less often. However, I can't find a "wi - fi frequency band" setting in CM.
So, does anyone have any idea what's going on? And is there a way to force the Captivate to use the 2.4 band?
Thanks much

CM9 is quite old, chances are that the kernel modules don't support it.

Thanks for your reply.
Before, while running CM9, the phone would remain properly connected to the router indefinitely. This problem of losing authentication did not occur until after upgrading the Captivate to CM10.2.1

Oh misread your post.
If forgetting and re-entering the network doesn't work, try another kernel (make sure it's compatible).

I am willing to give this a try, but I am still pretty new at this sort of thing. While I have rooted and put Cyanogen Mod on two phones, I have never tried different kernals. Would you be able to give me a short list of 3 or 4 compatible kernals that I could try?
Thanks much!

Just look in the Dev section and use one that matches your version (4.1, 4.2, etc).
NeatKernel seems to be popular around here.
Installed NeatKernal today so will see how it goes.
Thanks much for your help!
Installing NeatKernal didn't solve the problem, so decided to try the most recent CM 11 nightly....
After installing CM 11, the router and the phone still do not play nicely together. I contacted Linksys about this issue quite some time ago, but never received a response, so it is beginning to appear that the best solution is to simply replace the router. However, the Captivate is just a spare phone to play with, so it's not worth the extra expense and time, so will probably leave things as they are...
Cheers

[Q] - Nexus 6 Wifi Slow

Hello All,
Just got a nexus 6 and went ahead and installed a custom rom (Pure Nexus).
Not sure if its a ROM issue or not (Trying a different rom shortly), but my wifi is terribly slow. I put it next to my amazon fire tablet and ran a speed test multiple times.
Amazon - Avg is 15-20
Nexus is 5-7
I have read some forums that says changing the band helps or forgetting the network and readding but no luck.
Anyone else have any tips before I have to send it back for a new one?
How old is your router?

Less than a year. ATT UVerse provided router.
No problems here, I did a 135 down and 50 up on Comcast router
Looks like something with the Rom. I put Chroma on it and now get around 20 down. I do not think its app related as I just restored all using TB.
Going to clean flash pure and try again.
It's not Pure Nexus, but something else. I'm getting 160 down, 12 up (802.11ac) on Pure Nexus. Have you updated your device's baseband to the latest?
Stock ROM, 802.11n, reaching ISP cap of 60/10 on web speed tests.

Found out it was a rogue app that caused it. Thanks for your responses. Can you point me to the latest baseband? I saw the Modem Collection thread here but the latest looks to be for the M preview back on 7/10?
Go to Google's firmware page and download the latest firmware package. Extract the files inside. I believe there will be an additional archive in the firmware package that you can extract that will contain the radio image.
I was having slow WiFi issues too. I updated the firmware on my router and switched the channel and now it flies.
That's not so easy to do when the entire 2.4GHz band is congested with connections, as it is in my area. Simply changing the channel didn't work for me, and I had to get new hardware that supported 5GHz. The gamers and video watchers in the house all appreciated it.
Other phone is same?
my problem previously was the same..i tried it with stock and aosp based roms, then i went to asked my sister to call our isp.. and the technician was able to verify the problems.. it was our internet cable.. they replaced it and it worked back to normal..
I had a similar problem, but only with the 2.4Ghz band, I live in an apartment complex and in Los Angeles so it's even worse. Luckily nobody uses the 5Ghz band so that works fine for me.
Update but found out that the issue is that my wifi slows down when my BT is on. Does not have to be connected, just have to be on...
Another Update is that I found out the combo is...
Wifi Connected + BT on (Does not have to be connected) + RetailMeNot App
I froze RTMN and now there is no slowness.
So the app is the culprit, not the combination of bluetooth and WiFi. Good thing you got it sorted.
