Hey everyone,
After flashing via flashtool the global 2.3.4 i noticed that the battery was draining way faster than normal. I should mention that i didn't wipe user data before the flash.
From what it seemed, "Android System" took up around 65% of the battery overnight without letting the phone go to sleep mode, losing 90% percent of battery in 8 hours.
My original setup was the stock rom and the doomlord v9. kernel. While trying to fix the issue n make the phone be able to go back to sleep i wiped user data n flashed the stock rom n kernel again with/without root, the SE tweaked v.5 rom, etc n the issue didn't seem to get fixed.
If anyone has any ideas on fixing that, or if it's safe to downgrade to 2.3.3 please share.
~The only thing running was a messenger app which usually uses 2-4% n my battery drain was around 3-5% overall with no use on 2.3.3 with the same setup.
(I'd post screenshots but the forum isn't letting me post outside links yet)

yeah, i noticed the same thing last night too. wifi causes a wakelock for some reason which didn't ever happen on 2.3.3.
I even relocked the bootloader n upgraded to 2.3.4 via PCCompanion just to be sure i'm not doing anything wrong with the flashing and roms but doesn't seem to be fixed in any way..
Thanks for the info!

I've flashed my phone to 4.0.2.A.0.42 yesterday via PC Companion. I think it's released officially.

I just checked on pc companion and it's not available for me yet in the UK with 2.3.4 global.
It's not available for me here in Greece either.
I've done some reading around at forums n see what other people have been experiencing, n i somewhere read that in one case the issue was the SD Card (which is weird) and in another it was the automatic time setting via internet. I'm doing some tests right now trying different combinations, but from what i see the phone did go to sleep with Wifi on after i turned off the auto time setting.. Nothing's for sure yet though.
Interesting. I've make ftf file with LT15 loader and uploading now.
Tonight I'll try and share it.
Well, i'm confused. My phone seems to be back to normal for now. I put the SD back and enabled internet time, restored most of my apps to see if the wakelock would happen again but it's still working properly. Which means i don't have a conclusion of some sort.
~Update: Sim Card doesn't seem to be recognized now for some weird reason..
~Update 2: Backup & Restore was the issue here, after i deleted it n rebooted the phone SIM is working fine.

the only think i found is that it doesn't stay awake with all routers, it only happends if the router is WPA2 locked and it is "n" standard, the phone will do no problem if it is connected to a open b&g network.

You can either flash the doomkernel v9 that roots the phone by itself, or boot your phone into recovery mode and install the RootXperia if you prefer stock settings
Use Juice defender, you can allways gain some battery time.

Hey XDA
I've a problem with my SGSII.
I've tried a lot different roms like CM7, CheckRom, Oxygen, miui to find the perfect rom to fix my battery usage(my phone usally last for MAX 1 day, even on low usage. (Is this normal??, my friend get like 5 days with his SGSII)
Anyway, on pretty much all of the ROMs above I've occurred a problem with my internet connection - When my phone is idle for a while I looser internet connection and then I have to restart my phone to fix it.
Anyone with similar problem?
Is my phone defect?
Any way to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
This is my first thread on XDA, I hope I did it correctly (I've checked out suggested threads btw)
the problem with the internet connection is because of the signal is not resetting itself. You can use signalreset (market) app as a solution otherwise flash a stock firmware ROM from sammobile and see whether the problem is solved!
My Wi Fi stops working the same way too. All I do is that I reconnect WiFi from the notification bar.

Thank you for such a great and fast answer!
I will check out Signalreset asap, however if it just en/disable flightmode I am not sure if it helps. Because when it happened I always try en/disable flightmode, without luck - I have to restart to make it work :-/
Soo... it's a generel failure in some deeper laying hard- or software, that's not dependent of the generel software-version.
I'm starting to hate my phone, as it is loosing connection again and again, but only after updating to KI8_NEE. There has not been ANY problems with KI3_NEE, which worked perfectly and rocksolid - and solved the same problem from the previous versions... KI8 may be smoother, but i prefer stability over this generel failure (there's a lot of generel faults, not just lost data-connection).
If that the case, i'm going to smash this phone, or put KI3 back on it... i have been so happy with it, but after upgrading to KI8 - i'm starting to develop a hate-relationship with it...
My old HTC might be slow - but it is dead-on stable...
After trying the signalreset it still doenst work properly.
Any suggestions?

What baseband are you on?
I'm on XWKI1 on AT&T in south Florida and my connection is rock solid now.
That was not the case when I first got the phone with the factory ROM and baseband.

No I dont, I've tried Juice Defender but it didnt help my battery life so I uninstalled it..
I've tried a few days with the stock unrooted and the problem didnt occur, however the internet was still extremely slow, even when I had full signal.
Is there an application to boost signal/speed and/or fix problems?
Hello all.
I've been having a strange thing in my XPS since I've updated (officially) to ICS.
Randomly the data connection simply stops working.
Basicly I've got full signal, the 3G signal is there, but the H stops showing and no connection at all. I never had this problem in GB...
The only solution is to reboot the phone. As soon as I do that is working again, till the next failure.
Any ideas what might be happening? And the web brwosing in ICS is so much slower... In GB is was almost instant, in ICS is... Awfull. Should I go back to GB? None of the new things in ICS really interest me.
There is some reports about this bug,you have to wait for an update or try another firmware.

Same here.
When I leave my home network in the morning I have to reboot my phone because data is not available until reboot.
If later connect to any wireless network the data traffic comes back like always before.
Same is with my home network. If the phone is connected to home network and I force data, it's always working, only the morning is problematic.
I'm using ICS 4.0.4

Same problem here.
It just randomly stop to communicate even if the 3G or H icon is there. A samsung guy told me it may be an incompatibility between the ICS kernel and the modem firmware. No issues while connected to any WIFI.
Fixed with a reboot. Never happened to me with GB.

Same here, a reboot solves it, switching data off and on again, or going aeroplane mode and back don't do anything for it.
I have the same issue after updating to ICS.
I use preooted stock ROM.
Any updates on this issue.
Can anyone recomend ROM version which does not suffer form this issue?

same here, and because of that. im stop using Juice Defender anymore. JD cut the connection and reconnect few minutes after based from my setting just to save some battery juice, and this bug really annoying since i cant get any connection even JD reconnect. instead of reboot. im switch off-on data.

ive noticed that after every 12-15hours my data connectivity shuts off completely. only solution is a reboot. this never happened on gb. annoying indeed.

Anyone contacted sony mobile about this issue to inform them for the coming firmware?
It's probably in all ics versions (.58 firmware here).
I've updated as well via Flashtool and now data doesn't work at all!!!!

same here (sony ICS rom). i talked to sony about one week ago regarding this issue. they told me that this comes from my sim card. i told them that i've never had such a problem with my SE C510 but they insist that the issue can only be solved with replacing the card... i do not believe this. i see the little arrow appears below the "H" and that means data is sent but not received. still turning off and on the phone once a week.
I am having this problem too on UK generic Android 4.04 build number 6.1A0.453
No fix yet?
How's possible Sony is not aware of this problem?

I would actually agree with what Sony say here, I was away for a few weeks and used a forign SIM card for that duration. Not once did the Data stop working, that included hopping between Wifi, H, 3G, E, etc.. So Maybe it is a SIM issue ? SInce I came back I also updated to the newest ICS release and haven't seen the issue yet.
I have the same problem and it's extremely annoying. I lose data connection after about couple of days. It doesn't make sense that this is a sim problem because GB was fine.
I have ICS 6.1.A.0.453.
Same here, I am sure its not the sim card, comm'on!!!
Did you ask to Customer service? They know jack****... lol

i have the same problem. is that the official upgrade?
Hi guys I'm a newly registered user but by no means new to the site. I'm having trouble with my Thunderbolt's Wifi getting hung up on "Wifi Turning On".
To give you a background, I was using Licquid ICS MR2 when this all started. It ran flawlessly since MR2 came out and I flashed it. I tried fixing permissions, that didn't work. I've tried multiple radios to see if that would help, that didn't work. I formatted data and wiped dalvik and cache using ext4. Installed MR2 over again, still the same. I followed the same process and upgraded to MR3, still the same. I also tried ICY-S thinking maybe that version of the ROM was causing it. Still doesn't work. So i'm back to MR3 at this point. I still get 3G and everything else seems to work great.
The only thing that I've noticed that has been different is recently I started receiving 4G service in my area (small town). I've tried turning data off, tried turning LTE off. All with no luck.
Is there a chance that my wifi adapter could be damaged or does this sound like more of a software issue? Any help would be great.
Thanks
Pat
Yeah I have this problem usually after a while it does turn on but I think it's a bug in the leaked ICS build just wait for the rooted OTA to be posted and that'll probably fix it.

Its a new problem though for me. It always turned off and on when I asked it to. The normal data problem where you have to turn wifi off and on again always happened to me but I knew how to handle that. This just started happening, I guess I'm not understanding how all of a sudden this just starts happening. I hope that rooted OTA comes quick.

Tried the radio that santod posted. It gets me 1X that's it, but its pretty fast so there's no way its only 1X. But that didn't help the wifi cause any.
I updated my C6833 via the Sony Update Service tool to 4.4.4 and have noticed since the update that my wifi drops in and out and it seems to show that it is running on my mobile data network for a brief second whilst wifi is connected. I don't remember this happening in the past.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
can you try something for me, please?
install a terminal emulator, like juice SSH. run it and connect to 'localhost'.
go very near your router and do
ping your router's IP
let it run for a while, see the response times. are they consistent or do they fluctuate?
stop it by pressing ctrl+c
exit by either closing the window or pressing ctrl+d if your keyboard has it (like hacker's keyboard)
WiFi was really bad this morning. Connecting, disconnecting and reconnecting every 1-2 seconds. So I tried switching to the 2.4ghz channel of my router from the 5ghz and it seems to be stable now. Not sure if my router or phone is the issue.
No issues for me. Using C6833 ftf on C6802

did you ever tryed a custom rom that required to unlock the bootloader? Often had that which a 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 nightly build from CyagenMod after updating.
solution for me: restore TA-Keys and use the repair option in the Update Centre.
stock rom, never rooted, never unlocked bootloader.

Have you tried factory reset? Since no one is able to help, I'm guessing that's the logical step.
Yes, I am on Stock ROM, did a reset and still the same thing.
The device connects and disconnects over and over till the phone gets hot, and drains the battery
i guess we have to accept that this is just bad engineering, either software or hardware.
Next phone is not going to be android... already my zu is slowly dying, usb port doesn't connect very well, i have to keep the cable very straight (have tried at least ten cables, it's not a problem with the cable) to have a good connection... and i am sick of firefox losing pages and redownloading them costing me time and money.
