Wifi to Mobile Data Switching Issues on 5.1.1 - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since updating to 5.1.1 (Stock, clean install, UB) I have connection issues. Usually happens when switching wifi off or leaving a wifi conected zone, mobile data does not switch on most of the time or it takes a long time to turn itself on. As far as I have read it seems to be a 5.1.1 bug ( see https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/nexus/o-UyGECxh2k )
Does anyone happen to know a fix?? Has anyone had a similñar issue on Xperia Z?

No one else has this issue…??

[SOLVED] Data connection not working properly

Hello, I got an xperia z three weeks ago and it has always worked perfectly until yesterday: I'm experiencing strange mobile data connection issues. I can surf the web but if I disconnect and connect again, the connection may freeze: the H icon (or g or e..) appears and phone seems to transmit data as it shows an up arrow but the down arrow never appears and I can't surf the web. Toggling data and airplane mode may allow me to connect successfully but it's always pretty random..
I started thinking it was a software issue.. So i flashed The phone with the utility twice.. No success. Carrier issue? Nope: it's all ok and apn settings are ok as I can use them. Hardware issue? Perhaps as I found out that removing the SIM card and inserting it back in a certain way could make the difference (higher rate of successful connections).. So what do you think? Could be the SIM card (I got a new one in December though), the phone or something I did not consider? Sadly I can't test a different SIM now but as soon as I can find one, I will try. Thank you!
Re: [ISSUE] Data connection not working properly
Does it happen while your using the device or when it's sleeping you turn device back on? I also have sort the same issue but with WiFi..

[Q] Can't find mobiledata after using WiFi

So I bought a Xperia z1, used if it matters, and it is having this issue. When I'm done using WiFi and turn it off, the phone can't use the internet, even though the connection seems to be running (full connection bars, H+ symbol) but no data is able to move whatsoever. This doesn't occur every time though, it may as well work just fine. Yesterday I didn't use WiFi and the mobile connection worked the whole day. It also occurs sometimes when I boot the phone. Turning on/off the mobiledata or the airplanemode might work and get the connection running. Sometimes. This is frustrating as hell. I'm running android 4.4.2

Have same problems on Z1...
Now my wife use it and she said it's fixed now on 4.4.4 (108)
I found out that mobile data will work fine if I turn wifi off, wait second or two and then turn wifi on.

This part I don't understand. It doesn't make any sense to me. How can you use mobile data when you are connected to Wifi? The problem for me is when I use wifi at home and leave (=no wifi available, I turn it off), the phone can't use internet using mobile data (wcdma in my case). Are you saying that you put wifi on even though there's no wifi connection available and then mobiledata works for you?
Anyway, thanks for your reply I really appreciate it!
Haha...sorry...
I mistyped that...
It should wrote - turn wifi off when you are leaving wifi area wait two seconds and then turn mobile data on.

S6 edge is not connecting to the wifi automatically.

It looks like my device is not autoconneting to the wifi. I don't know the problem. I always leave my wifi on in my device. It used to connect automatically before, but not now I have been observing this since last 3 weeks. It only connects to wifi if toggle the switch on to off and again on. And if I go into wifi settings it starts searching. Is this a known issue or else something wrong with this device. I always keep the wifi smart network switch off.

I have the same issue but it doesn't happen all the time. I usually notice it while I'm at work later in the day or when I get home and want to throw netflix on the chromecast.
Yes it's the same issue.

Same issue here. For me it happens when I reboot the phone. When it turns back on it does not reconnect to the wifi network. In fact, it asks me for the password again like it never saved it to begin with.
But my phone doesn't ask for the password.

Let me rephrase that. It doesn't reconnect and when I go to manually connect it asks for my password again like I've never connected before.
I have just reproduce the scenario, I am at my home and it didn't connect to the wifi (wifi is on). After seeing your reply I have turned of the phone (not robot button) and powered on the phone and that magically connect to my home without doing anything.

Was definitely a problem with permissions, reinstalled after a wipe and no problems at all.
What did you exactly do can you give me steps to do what you have done.
Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
Opened flashfire and did a wipe and flash of cleanrom. Running perfectly.
So I have gone through the safe mode on s6 and everything is working fine and it automatically reconnects. The problem is with the apps we install. To my point android test app is getting this worse. I had ton of apps installed and don't know which one is causing the issue so I have to factory reset the phone. And tried to install apps one by one and this time the only I need the most and the problem is solved.

With other phone I have

5,5 upload
Something happen with the phone
I justice notice that on 5ghz wifi works perfects (50 Mps) with 2,4ghz I have problem
2 days later it fixed itself.
Don't know the reason, anyway all ok
To be honest I sometimes find the WiFi a bit unresponsive, also in cosmote network myself.
Lately I also see the 4g+ sign to be present along with the WiFi, a bit weird as well..

Any news?
Since a few days I have the same problems.
Did you find any solution?
Thanks.
I also have an issue with the WIFI being slow on this phone. Any solutions?
Are you missing all other unconnected networks in your wifi list?
Try to toggle WiFi search option for location service.
This helped me to get my wifi work again.

Network Issues - Disconnecting after placing a call

Recently I started having issues where I can't place calls. My data works fine but as soon as I start up a call, it seems to disconnect all connectivity and restart my network (ie, it will have an x on the icon and then reset back to 4G++). Surfing the internet and such works fine but it just cuts off as soon as I make calls.
Anyone have this issue?
Thanks

You're right, that's what happens but the problem is it happens all day.. which I don't think should be normal. Luckily I have a work phone I can use to call people but I can't get calls on my phone. It will maybe work once every 2 hours.
