Anyways, I'm currently running Rooted Stock 2.3.4 on my N1, and I've noticed that whenever I connect to my friend's DLink router (DIR-655, I think) the Wireless will work for some amount of time, but eventually it will stop working. And not just on my phone, either - the entire router stops working (at least for Wireless requests. Didn't have any wired devices connected to it). Thing is, last time I noticed it, it worked for quite a while - hour or two, maybe - then everything broke about 10 minutes after I received an email... At that point, the router needs to be rebooted, after which it continues working just fine.
The router is using WPA2 encryption, for what it's worth.
I've noticed this with previous versions of Android, so it's not a breaking change introduced with 2.3.4 or anything.
Unfortunately, I don't have an awful lot of Wireless routers to test with, and I haven't yet found an opportunity to test at home, so I'd be hard-pressed to say whether it's a router/D-Link problem, or if it's a device problem...
Has anyone else experienced this? Would flashing a custom ROM (e.g. CM7) fix this? Or would I need a new device? Any thoughts on what else I could do to debug this problem? As I said, this is a rooted device, with an unlocked bootloader and the latest version of Busybox installed.
I'm running 2.3.4 and haven't had this issue with this version or any previous ones.
I've had my phone disconnect from Google Services (the icons turn white instead of green), but the internet stays on and all other devices work just fine.
I have a Netgear router at home and a Linksys one at work and I'm connected to both the whole time I'm at either place.
Hmm... That's interesting.
I've never had Google Services disconnect, but I do have another issue with data randomly turning off. That's not a big deal, as I can just turn it actually off then back on again, and all is good.
Anyone else able to chime in with their experiences?
I have had this happen with cheap, crappy routers. Sometimes upgrading the router to DD-WRT helps, sometimes it doesn't. I had an ASUS this would happen to all the time, and an Airlink that this would happen to occasionally.
This doesn't ever happen to my Linksys WRT610N, and it never happened to an old ZyXEL X550.
I'm going to say, it's just a crappy router.
Thanks. Not really what I was hoping to hear, but that's life.
Did either bad router ever have this issue with other devices? One of the other folks living there has an iPad, and never has this issue, so I'm inclined to say it's at least partly my N1s fault. Also doesn't happen with any of the PCs connected to it.
Yeah, they actually did occasionally have issues with other devices. Hard to narrow it down because I have a ton of Wifi devices. The ASUS also seemed to go down based on time... after so long, it would just stop working properly. The Airlink seemed to get stuck based on demand and range. If I had my phone or laptop at the far end of the house and started using it a lot, it would get stuck. It was as if the router decided it was too much work to pump its signal that far and it would get tired.
Stock ROM on my N1 doesn't seem to allow it, but if you have a custom ROM, you might see if there is any way to set the Wifi to G-only. I had noticed on my old router that G wireless devices seemed less demanding for it.
Hi all
I have a strange bug with wifi and i dont know if its karnel or baseband related.
After the phone is not restarted for 40+ hours i cant turn on wifi connection it says error in setting.
I have to restart the phone so the wifi will work for another 40 hours. I tried it with stock and neoblaze karnel, froyo and leaked ginger roms.
This bug is always there the only thing that i have the same is the baseband 622.
tnx in advance
Sorry to hear you have this issue, I have it as well.
V10d an 725BB (which is supposed to fix this error). I have to restart the phone every 100 hours uf uptime.
Will wait for the GB update if not, it is going back to service.
Regards
I have the v20e leaked and its the same as froyo. I think its a karnel issue and all the stock and modified karnels have the same issue.

Let me guess: The lease time on the networks DHCP-server is 48 hours? If that's the case there's a write-up here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11236
Short version: A bug in Android itself; not renewing the lease properly if the DHCP-server doesn't send a server ID. Continues to ask for renewals and rejecting the DHCP-offers, and sooner or later getting kicked off the network for excessive requests. (and a few other things.)
Same here. Doesn't matter what ROM/BB/RIL I'm using. Wifi fails like clockwork after about 70 hours of up-time. I'm surprised this issue isn't more widely reported. Perhaps most people got fed up by the SODs so they simply reboot everyday?
And no, it has nothing to do with DHCP. The hardware just refuses to be switched on past a certain point. And it doesn't seem to matter how many times you've toggled it previously. It's likely to be a driver issue.

Should be easy enough to test. Enter your wifi-settings and choose a static ip-address which is valid, but outside the dhcp-scope of your dhcp-server. If it still keels over at said time, then sure, it has nothing to do with dhcp. If it doesn't... (remember to reboot after choosing a static ip, as one of the consequences of the bug is that the phone keeps using ip-adresses it's no longer authorized to use until the next reboot.)
Its not the dhcp i know that much im an it manager working for internet provider. The wifi does not turn on i cant even search for network. Its says error starting wireless. U cant turn the wifi on untill u reboot the phone.

Fine. I wish you good luck in solving your problem.
Same problem here... V10c.
It's not a problem in my network, my tablet, notebook and last phone (Nokia) never had problems with my home wireless network.
When I try to activate the Wi-Fi I just get the error status, I have to restart the phone to bring things back to normal.
Also, I don't leave the phone Wi-Fi on all the time, I turn on only when I need.
Finally decided I have had enough of this (and this too!) and followed this guide to automatically reboot my P990 daily.
http://blog.homelinux.org/?p=341
Before, I have wifi error randomly (MCR FR17 or 18 maybe), sometimes it can't turned on (error), only reboot can fix it.
But after I use FR19 and now Topogigi, never have that issue anymore.
Ive noticed this error only happens after i recharge my phone. I think im gona flash 0725 baseband and test it.
0725 on my phone, no wifi problems. but dont think it is releated.
I have the same issue but I think I can narrow it down a little, I'm on 0405 BB, will see if it changes after I update to 725 and MoDaCo Gr3.
Anyway here's the deal. I realised the "Wifi error" appears only when you have Wifi turned off for most of the time. It starts after about 30-35 hours of uptime with wifi off. If you have wifi on for most of the time, it will work normally, as soon as you turn it off the "counting" starts. When you reach a total of about 30-35 hours of wifi off, it won't turn on with the dreaded "wifi error" message. After that there are times it does start but rarely. I also noticed that as the "wifi off" time increases it takes longer and longer for the wifi to turn on. After restart it takes about 1-2 seconds. After 15-20 hours of "wifi off" time, it takes 5-6 seconds. Looks like if wifi doesn't start in 10 seconds the OS will automatically declare it an Error. I tried to do a logcat and only thing I got was something about wireless.ko not reachable or smth like that. It's almost like there's a memory leak or smth in the baseband that is triggered only when the wifi is off. Doubt it's something like that but the description itself fits.
It's pretty annoying. I try to keep the wifi active for most of the time but it consumes battery when I'm outside (constant scanning). I would be grateful if someone else could look into this problem cause I doubt it's a hardware issue. I'm updating to Gr3 and BB725 next week so I'll let you know how it goes.
I have the wifi error too and while I used to reboot, I have found another workabout that doesn't require reboot. That is to switch on airplane mode. On wifi. Off airplane. On wifi. Wifi will normally connect after 1 or two such cycles.
Turned off WiFi today so I can test your method. It will take another 24 hours for the "WiFi Error" to appear. Hope this helps although I've already tried Airplane Mode and similar stuff. Unfortunately it doesn't help much if I have Tasker to turn on WiFi.
I tried you solution and it only worked when I first got the "Wifi Error". After some 8 further hours it doesn't help any more. "Wifi Error" started late last night. Airplane switching helped then (but also did multiple On-Off on Wifi). But this morning (I left it on 3G while it was charging just to test further) it didn't help anymore. :/ We'll see if new BB and ROM changes anything.
Here's the situation: For about a month now I've been having issues with my data not working on my N1. Presently, I'm on Paranoid Android ROM, but have tried fixing the situation by flashing SpazeDawg, experiencing the same issue. My phone shows bars, and cycles between H, 3G, and E depending on where I am, but it's faded out, not blue; like it's not connecting. I do have voice and texting, however. I flashed the new Korean radio months and months ago, but I tried flashing back to 5.08.00.04, with no change in result. I've tried resetting the APNs to default, which after a reboot fixes the problem temporarily. I've run out of ideas on how to fix this, or isolate the problem. I'd rather not get rid of my N1, but the more I work on it, I'm beginning to think it is a hardware issue. Tried a new sim card, too! Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
I've been having similar problems ever since switching to ICS so I think it's just inherent. I've found that toggling data off and on again fixes the issue most of the time. So it's quicker solution than rebooting but still not ideal. Hopefully a fix appears but in the mean time I'm willing to live with it. For what it's worth, I've found Evervolv to be the most stable in terms of lost connection but YMMV...
Hi,
I have Xperia ZR C5503 phone about a year. Until 2 months ago I was using Android 4.3. When Lollipop update distributed I upgraded it to 5.0.2.(official)
But sometime after the upgrade my phone started not connecting wifi. It sees the available networks but not connecting them. The signal drops to lowest level about a second while trying to connect and it fails. Also I was using my phone's wifi tethering feature to share my internet to my pc. However wifi tethering is also not working. I enable it but I think it can't work as router. And lastly, I tried to send a file to my phone via bluetooth and it also enables but no other device sees it. I also have low sound on the phone and I can't hear people I am talking to.
So I got frustrated this saturday and downgraded to official 4.4.4. But it was same. Later I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone, installed recovery software. With that recovery mode I cleared all caches but the problem still countinued. Lastly I installed an unofficial modified kitkat to my phone but those problems still appears. I don't know why this phone is so problematic for me. I don't know if it is software related or hardware related. Now that my warranty is no longer valid.
Could you give me some ideas to attempt to solve these issues?

Hi,
I had dropped my phone maybe 1 or 2 times but not from high heights.(~ a meter) But that was more than 5 months ago. I am having this issue since last 2 months and I am sure that I didn't drop or harm my phone in any way. However I wash my phone, do you think that could cause that? Just effecting wifi and bluetooth components?
It's not true about dropping the phone make that errors appear, there are many people with same issues, this phone have manufacturing problems, it's not software
My brother have same problem and he never dropped the phone. Just take a look in Sony forums.
Btw, my brother's phone lost Bluetooth connection, NFC, WiFi, Sometimes WiFi works making some pressing in the NFC spot some seconds, but sucks anyway :/

How can i make the wifi stable? it drops in and out sometimes.
Wifi problem
my sony xperia zr has the same wifi problem it says scanning trys to connect the signal drops and again starts scanning..
I stopped the wifi service and restarted my phone and the wifi worked for a day and again the same proble.
Do anyone has a solution for this??
I have been facing the issue of wifi not connecting, since my upgrade to 5.1.1.
My research has led me to believe that the issue may be software based. However I'm not an expert in the field. And i was thinking of downgrading back to an older version of lollipop when the wifi was not dropping.
Can anyone advise on whether this may be a smart move, or a completely useless one?
Also is there a diagnostic protocol I can go through that could help me figure out for sure whether my wifi is busted physically, as some of you suggest here.
Thanks
Josette
I've tried the method "settings global put tether_dun_required 0" but when i reboot my Z5, the value comes back to 1 ... (and of course wifi tethering is not working, going thru USB is ok)
I'm discussing various points here. Check out everyone of this point and get a fair idea from where problem is originating.
1) Go to WiFi Settings > Keep wifi awake during sleep. Here the string value should be "Always"
2) Under stock firmware there are numerous battery optimisation. Some of them kill WiFi so battery can saved. Now disable this features if you want no drops in WiFi.
3) If both of don't work, head over to Xperia ZR General > Search for your specific device FTF. Flash it via flash tool. This should reset all wifi drivers. Don't opt or apply any battery features and use WiFi. If still issue exits then you're in bad luck.
4) Check for other WiFi access points. Check your own router's webpanel and see somewhere broadcasting and multicast signals are ticked. Also check your WiFi is at 100% of it's performance ( 100% transmit power)
5) Hardware issue. Most of the software part is not causing issues so it's safe to say a hardware issue is causing this. Now, long time ago when 5.0 was released for our device I read article regarding ZR. The user had constant WiFi drops. His issue was that his WiFi soldering was poor inside hardware. He soldered it again and his wifi drops were no longer a problem.
People also experience various bluetooth/tethering issue. It's important that people should gain knowledge about firmware flashing techniques so that device would get reset and you yourself could diagnose the problem. 1 in 0.7k unit has software/hardware issue in manufacturing. Sony provides diagnostic app, search in play store ( I'm not sure about this). Hope this answer helps many.
hii.. so did u get any solution for the problem ?
i am facing this problem since one month. i tried rebooting my phone many times. i even tried factory reset. but nothing has worked till know.
if u have any solution please inform me.thanku
Wifi Issue.
Hello Guys,
I have same issue in wifi after 1.5 Year of phone. Can you please help me on that. Does any one knows any other technician are repairing this phone? as SONY says they are not able to repair phone which even they developed. I do n't why such phones developed.
1. I have repaired phone using PCC.
2. tried reset
3. tried without stamina mode
4. tried with wifimanager app
but nothing works....
If you guys any suggestion any hope please let me know.
Thanks.
Hello guys,
For the past year or so I am having intermittent problems with my 3g connection. It just loses the connection with the mobile internet without any error messages and the only way to fix this is rebooting the phone. At first it happened every couple months but the intervals between connection losses seems to get shorter. The last few months it was every 10-14 days, now it's every 5 days. Since a reboot seems to fix this I don't think there is a physical defect on my 3g chip but the shortening intervals are somewhat worrying. I checked my APN settings multiple times and I've called my carrier's tech support several times but they too can't seem to find anything wrong with my APN settings. I'm currently using a custom ROM (OmniROM based on Android 4.4.4 with the Stagefright patch included) but this problem existed even in the original ROM so I doubt it's a kernel/driver issue. Is there anyone knowledgeable enough to pinpoint the problem or at least help me in the right direction because it's becoming a bit annoying and I dislike not being able to figure out WHY something happens. ^^"
The issue you have mentioned applied also to my phone, but it appeared for the first time after installing Omni from golden-guy. I haven't observed it on my stock rom. At the very beginning, I was able to mitigate the issue by turning airplane mode on and off. As you mentioned, the issue's frequency was increasing over time, leading to more than one signal lost per day. Airplane mode solution stopped working. I have also tried to kill (and got restarted) rild, as well as radiod - with no luck. Logs (I haven't checked kmesg) revealed nothing. I'm not sure the details of your issue, but I was loosing the whole GSM/WCDMA signal, not only the Internet access. Meanwhile, the system seemd to be looking for a network, draining my battery.
I still hope that the solution was to replace my SIM card with a new one from the operator. After that, about a month ago, the issue happened only once, and airplane mode on and off solved it. It's worth to notice, that turning airplane mode on took quite long time, about 30 seconds.
I'm having GT-I8190, Omni version 4.4.4-20151108, baseband I8190XXAMG (I'm not sure if it is distributed along with the rom, or maybe resides on different partition, and is not updated with the omni rom releases).

Did you check logcat? If you didn't then logcat might show what the problem is. And your problem sounds more severe than mine. I only lose 3g but I can still call and send text messages. A problem with the simcard might be possible but it could also be a physical problem with the simcard slot though I can't say why rebooting or turning airplane mode off and back on would fix that.

I just wanted to confirm that I have similllar issue with 3g data connection. S3 mini with I8190XXAMG4 baseband. Stock ROM used for last few years (without any significant issues with 3g data connections), upgraded to latest CM11 20151017 from maclaw/novafusion. I noticed that there are some glitches with 3g data connections. Sometimes I need to tap few times before connection finally is being established. Funny thing is that I have second s3 mini with the same CM11 20151017 and all is OK.
I tried a lot of another ROMs; fifferent version of CM11, OmniROM (4.4.4 and 5.1.1), CM12.1 - problem remains - issues with 3g data connection. Is there any solution to get rid of this 3g data issue?

Yes, logcat (main, radio, events) revealed nothing but just signal drop to 0%. At that time, I didn't know about kmsg and system logcat buffer, so I haven't checked them.

Just tried this, and it helped. Usually, when something is not working, people try to turn it off and on again.
I always had rare glitches with mobile data connectivity, and turning mobile data off and on again always solved the problem. I think our problems my be hardware related. I suppose my old SIM card could have buggy software, i.e. advertising to support some newer protocol, but actually didn't. After upgrading, the phone tried to use the new advertised protocol, and got confused, or made the SIM confused.
I also know about cases, when SIM card simply died without any reason.
I used Note 2 about two years, flashed different roms and never had troubles, but then my friend used it about 3 months on 5.0.2 custom and got troubles with gsm/wcdma. My next samsung phone become our beloved i8190. Flashed it from stock to 5.0.2 CM, than 5.1.1, after month got first Cellular bugs. Tried another LP and some KK roms, my troubles with baseband became more and more frequently every day, flashed different modems, changed much settings in system.. So I was desided that it's all HW problems, and hated Samsung for such failure. But one day just tried to install Project Noble, and all this troubles gone forever. So it's just drivers, which not optimised for new Android versions. 4.1.2 mixed with old TouchWiz after fresh and clean Lollypop feels horrible, but we can do nothing with it.

But if it's hardware related, wouldn't you think that rebooting our phone or turning airplane mode on and off wouldn't fix it? And did you see in the logcat log if something happened before the signal drop? Sometimes events prior to the signal drop can also tell something about the cause.

Hardware could also have its state, which may get corrupted and reset on reboot.
