Hi guys, I use the captivate as a spare phone , and sometimes to browse the internet at home. I've noticed that recently the wifi signal has been extremely weak. I'm literally right next to my router and it's showing 1 bar of reception. When i step into the next room, i get no reception at all. I was on stock firmware at the time, I have since flashed to cm10, and the wifi signal is just as bad. Can anyone help please?
I'd suggest you try a different kernel. Also, you could try to delete your saved network and re-connect to it.
Even after updating my xperia Z,wifi reception is poor and tend to get disconnected occasionally,any work aroundhelp needed...
OP please provide more detail for your issue, so that Members can better assist you in your matter. Thank You.

If you're talking about weak signal on some routers, browsers hanging etc. - unfortunately this problem hasn't been completely resolved with 434 update. I think we might need to contact Sony about it because it's very frustrating.
Hint: for now, try setting your router to 802.11G mode. It helped me a lot - seems like XZ is having problems with 802.11N or mixed N/G networks.
I am experiencing bad wifi reception,my router is Netgear N150.Its working fine with my macbook pro ,desktop, galaxy tab2 and ipad4.It was fine with my iphone 5 too.Xperia z is finding it difficult to connect to the same wifi network ,in the same situation.Also if mobile data is kept on occasional shifting between wifi and mobile network occurs.I feel that,wifi reception of xperia z is NOT good.

Hi,
I use only WiFi on mine, and not much problems.
I use the WiFi Alarm app so that if it does get disconnected, I'll beep really loud and alert me to solve it (Otherwise I might not get VOIP calls and not even know I am missing them!)
Like once or twice a day it disconnects for about 0.5 seconds and triggers the alarm, which is annoying, but no major problems. (It reconnects on its own, and it may be the router's fault).
Hello
Does anybody has trouble with the wi-fi reception?
For example, at home, with other devices (old Nokia phone, ipod etc) i have full signal let's say when i'm standing near the router. With Xperia SP I have 2-3 lines at best
At work, in my office, with other devices i have 1-2 lines of signal at best. Xperia SP has 1 line at best and is constantly losing the signal.
Is this an hardware issue or a software issue? It is in general known that Xperia SP was problem with the wi-fi reception? I only read one review saying it would be an issue

Many Xperia SP owners face the same problem. I think, a firmware update would fix it but... We're waiting...
(Don't bother trying factory reset. Problem remains the same.)

I'm having problems on my Z1 C6902 the wifi hotspot always disconnects and i have to turn off and then on the wifi hotspot again for the PC to be able to find the network again to connect. It disconnects at random intervals not always at a given specific time and I made sure to check the settings to keep the tethering always on.
Thought it was a firmware problem but it's the same after updating it to 4.4 from 4.3 (stock firmware).
any one has the same problem and found a solution?
No soution?? I've realized this problem when i left the hotspot on to download gta v . But when i woke up , the wifi cant detect my z1 hotspot. Really need a solution . Sorry for the bad english
Hello, everyone!
I've been reading a lot about Z1's Wi-Fi issues since I'm experimenting them a lot.
Connection drops constantly and I have to wait some time before it connects again. I have tried a few stuff, like apps who claim they fix your Wi-Fi (root), changing my security settings and other adjustments on my router, using a static IP for my phone... But nothing works!
Do you guys know any solution to this? I updated to the latest official firmware and nothing happened, and then I tried with a different ROM (MX's 8.5.0 Edition) but the performance of the Wi-Fi is still the same.
I'm using a Samsung phone in the same room as my Z1, and the Samsung phone gets perfect Wi-Fi signal and doesn't drop the connection.
Help me, please.
Many thanks!
