[Q] C5306 dropping WiFi - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought this phone maybe six months ago.
In April, I upgraded the OS and ever since the WiFi is constantly dropping. I've sent the phone in to tech support 3 times and this problem has never been repaired.
The phone is currently running Android version 4.3, Build number 12.1.A.0.266.
Help and Thanks!!

Wifi is driving me crazy please help

Hello everyone I tried searching before posting this but I couldn't really find any good info
Ive stock 4,3 not rooted and I've no idea about my bootloader but most probably locked
I'm having a sudden Wifi disconnect like each 20 minutes and when I don't have a disconnect the net is terribly slow!
I'm wondering anyone else having same troubles or it's just my bad luck...

I had problem with my wifi on android 4.2.2. Problems were likely like yours. Yesterday i have flashed my phone to stock notbranded android 4.3 and it works like charm. Maybe you should think about also updating your phone with this ROM ?

Stupid question but is could it be a router problem, since you also had problems with other versions? Or do you have this problem with other wifi networks too?

Hello,
Since the official update to Android 4.3 I also get issues with wlan when I am at work.
It might connect normally at first
But after some time I notice that I do not longer get data over it and most of the time it does no longer find the wlan in the settings, everyone else however can still connect fine, however most people are using iPhones but Even a galaxy s3 had no issues so it is no issue with the access point.
I also had it 2 times that I couldn't even disable wlan anymore (active again after reopening the settings)
Funny thing is that I have no issues with my home wlan that is a fritzbox.
On android 4.2.2 I never had an issue.
Everything stock, no root.
I am using a smartwatch 2. Not sure why it got mentioned here.
Check the router for a seeing that users 2 channels at once to increase bandwidth (not a dual broadcast setting for n and g or 2.4 and 5GHz). I have seen this problem on several android phones when enabled.

Same problem after updating to a 4.3 Rom based on z1... Definitely not my Internet/router going out... Running a dd-with on latest firmware... No problems until phone was updated. Only thing that brings wifi back is resetting phone....

Every update seems to have it's own bugs, this is very annoying from Sony. I can get my Wi-Fi back by switching the WiFi off then back on from phone settings.
Mainly This and the Bluetooth bug is making me think about getting the s5 for my next upgrade.

With the nexus 6 coming up I may have to bite the bullet on that... If it shares any kind of life proofing the way Sony has gone of course. The waterproofing drew me to this to be honest... Lost to many devices because of accidents. (yay for having kids)

If it comes it will be like last updates I think. Will have it couple weeks then the kitkat update. If I was betting man, it maybe the UK jumps to kitkat. Of course last in line if unlocked.

I received it in Egypt about 3 weeks.. Maybe more..and it's known that all countries in the middle east receive the updates the last.. How come you didn't receive it yet!

It's the same Sony holding back the updates to sim free handsets in the UK because the networks want them first :-\
It reminds me of when I had the xperia s

Yeah it's crazy when we pay up front all the money for sim free. Then are left to last for updates.

When will the Official kitkat for At&T be released ?

It's out on other carriers. Anyone know when AT&T are going to release it? I'm running the leak which works fine...

AT&T hasn't said crap about it..You'll just have to wait if you want it. KNOXRAID is one if not the only KK custom ROM that works flawlessly.
wait til 4

if all of us hold or breath while signing the petition then they will have to listen. it must have worked with t-mo http://www.tmonews.com/2014/03/andr...wnload/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
It'll come out when it comes out. Just like everything else smartphone related. When it does, I'll be right here saying "I told you so."
:good:
Hope the GPS issue is fixed.

I have been pestering at&t customer service about it as frequently as I can. Maybe once a week.
The chat guys are really nice but they admit they dont know anything about the update. They admit it has been released over 3 months ago (by samsung to at&t) and that they have to sanction it first. They also say "i dont konw, might be never".
I got a chat guy for AT&T to admit that 4.4.2 for S4 was released 2/26/2014
So if it was this recently, note 3's update is probably coming soon.
Has anyone else received a small software update? I am currently in baseband nb4.

I'm on NB4 and haven't received any updates since but they say KitKat is coming soon.

The title really should be changed.
1: it is misleading and makes people think it has been released
2: it has not been released so this "discussion" is exactly the same as the rest all over the forums.
3: it is a question in the OP asking for an ETA. Not really allowed and nothing has been said or heard on when it comes out. It gets released when it gets released. And since it is a question, it belongs in the QA section.

It was 37MB and then my wife had one on her S4 that was 300+MB that failed. Is it common to not be able to update over the air? I've always had to use kies to upgrade.

She got kitkat. We haven't yet. On her phone the entire system has to be bone stock to update. At least that's what I'd do just to be sure. Make sure she has a good wifi connection.

if at&t follows their usual update patterns, i expect it will be released in late april or early may (when the s5 is coming out). im assuming they're just waiting for the s5 to come out before releasing kitkat so people will buy the s5 instead of the s4 since it will be their only kitkat phone. just an educated guess

AT&T already officially released the 4.4.2 KitKat update for the S4 about 2 weeks ago.

Huge download - 688 mb, IIIRC. Almost 4 hts on BSNL boredband.
Worth the effort for the improvement in UI. Have not done factory reset so far. Not rooted or unlocked so far.
Battery usage - can't see remarkable changes.
