Alright, this is my first post and I just recently got a Touch Diamond (my first 'smart' phone)...
I'm running into a problem that seems multiple people have been reporting - and that is Wi-Fi. Since the model that I got already came with the latest ROM installed (the one released mid July), I don't have anything to compare it to.
What's happening is that sometimes the phone will recognize my wifi connections, sometimes it won't. Even when I am able to successfully connect, it is only for a brief moment and then disconnects. Since I'm with T-Mobile and do not have a data plan, my main way of communicating will be through Wi-Fi. I'd REALLY like to know if there's anyone out there that might have any ideas...
I also tried updating the phone with the latest cooked SwiftBL ROM to see if maybe one of the modifications could fix it, but I still see the same problem. It's not my wifi because I've tried several other (non-secure) wireless connections and see the exact same problem with all of them. I saw on this forum who suggested to change the power settings of the Wi-Fi device, but that did nothing .
I'm at a loss....could it be a bug with the latest official ROM release?
Hey guys!
Few weeks ago I debranded my HTC One and flashed stock international and my wifi is not behaving as it should anymore. The phone connects to my Connectify network but loses that connection after a minute or so (even though it shows as still connected pages will not load etc). It works flawlessly if it's directly connected to any wifi, but if I try to make the same wifi(or any cable network) shared with programs such as Connectify (pro) or Mhotspot it doesn't work.
My other phone, Sensation, and a laptop both work fine on the same Connectify network.
I reflashed multiple custom roms/stock many times, went back with nandroid backup to original system, did factory resets and nothing helps now.
I also reinstalled windows on my PC and installed all newest drivers.
Found a lot of posts about similar issues, none with a working solution though.
Phone currently is on stock 4.4.2, 4.19.401.8. Radio 4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L. It's a PN07100 model.
Any ideas? I got no wifi on my phone for over 2 weeks now, so I'm begging for help. Any suggestions what might be causing the problem or could be involved?
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 :/

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

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 you guys any suggestion any hope please let me know.

Dear Community,
I would like to call for your kind help because I have got completely lost considering an issue that I have faced. Suddenly the wifi and bluetooth stopped working under Android on my tablet. Everything is factory standard, I haven't modified anything and even applied factory reset from the Android menu and hard reset from recovery mode. No change.
Networks are visible but it stops with the message "Connecting" and if I set a fixed IP, it connects but no data is transmitted. In case of bluetooth, I'm unable to enable it.
It is a strange issue because it works OK under Windows 10 that gets all the regular updates. I started to experiment with old wifi and bluetooth drivers to see if there was any conflict with drivers but I didn't manage to learn anything by that.
I am completely confused because I have had this tablet for a year and it suddenly started to have this problem. I thought the reset would solve it and was stunned to see that it didn't.
Would you please kind and try to help me out with some advice?
Any feedback would be much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Viktor
What's your model ?

I have a Sm-T580 I got from my dad because the Wifi and Bluetooth isn't working. I thought it was an easy fix and he bought a new one so I figured hey I have a new tablet. I'm between a techy and a newbie. I have had androids since the moment and have rooted, bricked and unbricked several phones in between and I now have the S8+. So I have tried downloading different firmware, I have rooted the tablet I have wiped the system os using TWRP and reinstalled another current os and now I am using the ultra lean rom and i can not get the wifi or bluetooth to turn on. Neither of them have an IP address or bluetooth address. I don't know what else to do. Can any one help?

Since wifi and Bluetooth both do not work, it seems to me as if the chip is roasted, cuz they both share the same chip. At least this was my experience with S4.
Big chance, that this is a hardware issue maybe from water damage.
Wasn't dropped in water that I know of but I have about exhausted all other options. Thx
