Hey guys,
I hope someone can help me or give me some good advices.
I have a wifi problem. Before the GS2 I had the HTC HD2 and never had any big problems with wifi. No matter if I was home or in the uni, it was always great.
With the GS2 though, its a wonder to get a good wifi signal.
I know when I say now, that I just have 1 line at the wifi bar you guys gonna kill me!!
I don't care about if it's 1 line or 2, the problem is, that this 1 line I lose everytime I wanna use the net. I never had this problem before. Also I can tell, that this problem I have everywhere I am. In the uni I have 1-2 lines, at my favourite cafe I have 0-1 lines just like at home. This is driving me crazy. I can't use the net at all like this. I don't have any other problems, not at all, just this wifi problem. I'm not sure if this pictures I took are useful, but I tried something out.
I did the speed test with the speedtest.net app in 4 different ways.
1. Picture: I hold the phone the normal way.
2. Picture: I hold the phone normal but raised my arm in the air.
3. Picture: I turned the phone around and hold it that way.
4. Picture: I turned the phone around and raised my arm in the air.
I hope someone can help me or give me any advices.
I love this phone. It's the best phone I have ever had so far, but I hate the bad wifi signal...
Same here
I used to have signal with other devices, yet with Galaxy S II, I get very poor signal!
I haven't noticed this with mine, I find the reception wifi and otherwise very good. Have you flashed a new modem? Maybe that's the issue?
Well I flashed alot so far, but always the same thing. Always bad signal. Now I'm back to stock rom with root, nothing else.
I have no problems with my wifi connection...
the top one is from the same room as the router, the bottom one is from the furthest I can get from the router (about 10m away, 2 walls and the kitchen in between). Speeds are lower than what I can get on the netbook (25Mbps and 16Mbps respectively) but that's not unexpected
I also had no issues when I used the pub's wifi a few days ago

Can this be a hardware problem? Or maybe the software? The ones without any problem can you give me information about the rom and modem etc. you use?
I'm on stock KE7, baseband is KE4 (sim-free UK phone). No rooted yet cos after years and years of WinMo, I need to get my head round all that Android malarkey... so confusing when it's not something you're familiar with

Does anyone else have a issue with their S Tab, only getting weak wifi signal, even from a wireless router your are right next to?
I have a wireless router in my living room, and everything else i have to include my other tab and laptop get full bars for the wifi, but my S Tab only gets about 3 to 4 out of 5.
Just curious as to if this is just a flaw in the Tab, or maybe mine has an issue i should have looked at for repair, or replacement.
i get a full signal on the home wifi and using my mobile as a hotspot, not sure why yours is getting a weak signal.
Im not sure either, it still works fine, seems to run the browser, downloads/updates fast still, maybe the little icon at the bottom by the clock is inaccurate.
I feel it is better than on my SE XPlay

I have had a bit of the same issue. When I first got it it seemed that it picked up my home Wifi last above all the others around me.
Once it did finally find it it only showed a weak singal, after I put in my password it jumped up to full strength. this has happened to every location I went to. Once i do connect it works great (on a side note people have complained that my wireless internet sucks at my home when they tried to connect with there laptops)
I seem to have a similar issue. Works fairly fast but looks like I only have 2 bars.
Yeah I have noticed this and using wifi manager the signal goes up and down but seems fine on my arc....

I don't have an issue with the signal but it takes forever for it to connect to my AP. It's taking at least 30 seconds to make a connection.

sony tablet s wifi issue
Hi all,
after weeks of study here is what i found out:
- wifi issue is not a hard ware issue, it is simply the software.
- wifi issue occurs only with certain routers with both N & G channels , Especially Netgear and BT.
- Wifi manger app makes it better and less annoying, issue still there but less occurring. try different channels.
- Tablet S for some reason does not like the channels used by certain Routers.
- do not bother with wifi lock app, does not do the job and steals ur battery.
- after weeks of trial, tablet is just great, but needs attention from Google.
SO
My friend's wife works for Google, when asked for the favor of the insider , engineers in Google said, first stage is to roll out Xperia release 5 to try and fix problem, then both S and Xperia will get Jelly bean with a definite fix. Testing as we speak.
all I can do now is get a good router and hope for the best.
I too have a problem with my new-ish Sony Tablet S (which I wish I never went to 4.0.3 r5). Sitting anywhere in my house I get 4 or 5 bars - I have a great DLINK Router and a repeater in the other end of the house. Both on the same channel family and get full blast wireless all over the house.
My problem is (the router is locked into N only mode as everything in the house is N) - even with 5 bars, the NETWORK information from the tablet's info panel says I am at 65MB/s. Why so slow? My older than the tablet laptop with built in WiFi get 150MB/s, and the router is capable of 300MB/s (dual channel router).
Can anyone explain this?
Also if anyone can direct me to the steps and files to get my tablet back to the 4.0.3 (pre R5 version), I would be ever so happy. I hate all the new additions - none of them good that R gave. My biggest gripe is the removal of the DLNA app that worked great with my MEDIA Server (windows) and streamed my .M4V ripped DVD collection, that my HTPC also uses, flawlessly. The WALKMAN and MOVIES app in the R5 software - for use of a better word - S U X !!!
I already called SONY to find out how to REVERT and of course got the answer, YOU CAN'T. You would think that with over $20,000 worth of SONY equipment purchased in the last 8 years they would help.
Thanks,

I recently purchased the 16gb Sony Tablet S and am contemplating on whether or not to return it by the 30 day window due to sporadic wifi connection at my apartment. The issue is not as much the reobtaining wifi after the screen unlocks, as it is the general holding of the wifi connection when the screen is on.
I've isolated the problem to my specific router, as it works PERFECTLY at my GF's apt and my parent's house. Always connects right away and stays connected. However at my apt it doesn't always connect right way and have to manually turn the wifi off and on again, and sometimes have to manually hit connect from the wifi screen. When it finally obtains IP address it will connect, but most of the time for only a short period (like 20-30 seconds) before the wifi signal on bottom right just disappears. Then I have to toggle the wifi on and off again and try again. Very annoying. Sometimes it will connect though, and the wifi holds up like it should.
Here are the fixes I've tried so far:
* Reset and Factory Rest device
* Forget/Reconnect to network from device
* Update Router Firmware
* Configure Router - g/n mode and n mode from b/g/n
* Set Router Channel from auto to 1,6 and 11.
* Wifi Lock App (doesn't work and drains battery)
Personally, I feel like the tablet itself has an inferior wireless radio. Compared side by side to my other wifi devices, it has noticeably less signal at the router and diminishes quicker the farther away you go. Now, this doesn't really bother me as I'm usually always near my router. However, when I was scanning all the wifi networks around me (in cmd: netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid) I found over 30 networks around me all using the full channel spectrum. I've tried every channel on my router, but 11 seems the best.
Would a crowded wifi area affect the tablet? But again, my laptop, 2 phones, and PS3 connect at every channel with no problems at my apt. At my parent's house and GF's apt there are only 1 or 2 other available networks that could also be on my channel. That's the only thing I can think of.
I just don't understand why only the tablet is having wifi problems.
I have about a week left to return it, and would like to keep the tablet, but running out of patience. Next, I think I will try using MAC address and see if that works.
Any help would be appreciated!
Try this!
I had the same issue.
I solved the problem
1 - turn off wifi.
2- in accounts - turn off "auto connect"
3- turn on wifi ( test if work )
4- reconect the accounts
too simple .. but works , try it.

Thats certaintly not the problem since i have so many devices logged in on my network, and not having the same problems,
The Wi-Fi on Sony tablet has known issue's like loosing connection when screen goes standby, even if you checked this in settings never to shut down.
The steps in the post above can be the sollution, and if not, sony will make somehow a repair or a dev would fix this. goodluck.

Thanks. I tried that sequence and it seemed to work for a little bit, but then the problems reoccurred.
Again, the problem is not just that the wifi doesn't pick up right away after standby, but also, and more importantly, it looses wifi BEFORE the screen goes out while I'm using it, repeatedly.
Its very annoying and only happens at my apt and not at other networks. No other device on my network has this problem.
Nobody else has had this problem before?
I remember from older posts that tablet s has problem with certain brand routers. What routers are used in your places.

Its a ZyXel brand router that doesn't work. I'm pretty sure the one's that do work are both Linksys. The ZyXel router is probably a cheap one because it came bundled in a promotion from my ISP.
I guess I could try another n router, but still find it strange that all my other wifi devices are fine with the current router.
Wifi Signal
Sony is not as reliable as it used to be... My Tablet S keeps loosing WiFi signal, and the solution I found was to turn off and back on the WiFi. This fix the issue.
However another very annoying problem is that very often I need to hard reset the tablet as it locks the screen with no other way to recover it. Shame on Sony. An the annoying side flash light is ridiculous. I used to have an A100 that aside any design issues, worked perfectly never had any operational issue with it. Should have upgraded to a A500...
What worked for me.
I bought a Sony S as a birthday present for my wife. That was yesterday and today she went to work and left me to set it up for her.
I have a Cisco E3200 router. The tablet could see my router and connect to it but would drop the connection after 5 seconds.
Well, that was the first hour and a half of my day.
Finally, with nothing else to try, I set up a guest account on the router. The tablet found it and connected to it on the first attempt and has been connected now for over four hours including multiple restarts.
I have no idea why this worked. I just know that it did.
Clive.
Same issues here when docking tablet sometimes, but my work around is to turn WiFi off, and hit Fast Reboot ( app by Great Bytes Software) then turn WiFi back on. Fast Reboot seems to do a soft reboot on apps and system and it only takes a few seconds.
Hope this helps!

Wifi Issues
I bought the 32G version from Woot recently. The WiFi reception is awful. I am on my second unit same thing.
4 feet from Router (on 2nd floor), 3 bars out of 4. 15 feet goes to 2. Downstairs goes to 1 bar 1MBS. And drops like a hot potato. Sony has sent a RMA for repair. Being this is my second unit with same issue, I doubt there is a fix.
I use a LAptop, netbook, android phone on the same router. No issues. They all work well, even in the basement!
Updated to 4.0 on my original unit, no change.
Just ranting here, hoping for a surprise fix. Other than that Mrs Lincoln how was the play? I love the tablet otherwise. Will probably throw and a spare router downstairs or feed it off my 4G phone. Now that really sucks..LOL
Anyone else

I have tried 3 different Routers.
Verizon/ActionTecMi424
CheckPoint Z-100G
Linksys WRT54GL
No change no difference.
I finally installed another router on the other floor. Now it works in entire house, but have to change router connections if I move to a different floor.
The big question here I think is:
Is every Tablet S this way or do we have some bad samples? Software or Hardware. Sony has given me and RMA # to return for repair. I am hesitant to do that. If there is no fix or all units are this way.
I am not 100% sure but from my own testing I found it working 90% of the time everywhere else, here is how I tested:
home netgear, does not hold wifi , have to refresh page all the time to browse internet.
Work ( different router not sure what type yet) works just like a dream, fast no wifi drops no refreshes needed.
took it to most free wifi spots, not a problem.
friends house BT, Same issue again.
Wifi manager made it a bit better yes ( have to test now on channels 12 , 13 or 15 , wifi lock app does not work.
I hate to get a different router to get same issue at the end. however different posts elsewhere suggested setting router to N on and G off channels testing each time you make a change, on tablet set to manual ( have not done this bit yet).
It's not like we are all being picky here with Sony, we like the tablet itself and we bought it with a lot of money, we want to be able to browse the internet download things without getting our livers and kidneys enlarged.
more to follow , I am really hoping to be able to get my friend's wife update as she told us GOOGLE IS VERY AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

WIFI Issue fixed
All,
there was an update last Thursday that fixed the wifi issue, I am not really sure what but my tablet s now holds and keeps wifi everywhere.
I had issued before with netgear and bt routers and after last Thursday it was just fine, i need to review the recent updates done and Let you all know.
I tried it everywhere and works perfect, download speed is perfect , not one drop of wifi so far.
I assume either Sony or Google did something here as it was getting an update last Thursday that lasted about 10 minutes, could not figure out what was that update yet.
I was using my prime with the keyboard attached yesterday morning while running CM10_9/2 version nightly. Now I know WiFi signal strength has never been real strong for the prime in general, in fact it sucks, but I was happy that I could use it all over my home. That all changed yesterday morning when the signal dropped completely. I thought it was just my router so I reset it and checked my phone and PS3 to see how there signal was. Both seemed fine and normal, but not so on the Tablet. I could not get WiFi to reconnect. I was so confused so I restored a couple older ROMs and even flashed brand new ones to see if it was somehow a kernel issue, not so much. Dumbfounded I went in the room that has the router in it with the tablet, not sure why, but I did. Low and behold I had a signal while standing right next to the router. Once I leave that room I cannot get a signal. So I thought I would bring it to my work today to test signal strength with a router a few cubes down to make sure it wasn't my home network. Well the results were the same thing. I can connect to it, but the signal is horrible! Is there anything else I should try? Is there any way to get this fixed under warranty with an unlocked bootloader as all I was doing was reading something online? Any other suggestions you guys might haver? I truly appreciate the forums for times like these. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried putting pressure on the wifi connectors to the right of the front camera? It seems that fixed some problems for some users.
pretty sure rma could fix it, not sure they would do it for free since you are unlocked. It is probably a physical problem more so than a software one.
Thanks for the responses, another kicker I forgot to mention and it's kind of a big one is this tablet is 8 months old. I bought it is January! Crazy how this just happened!

I had a strange thing when I visited family recently. My tablet works all around my house no problem but in another house unless I was in the same room it didn't work.
I ran a wifi scanner and found that everyone around her was on sky and all using channel 1. I changed her router to use channel 11 and instantly had connection all around her house. All sky routers are set to auto yet use channel 1 as default.
Try using wifi analyzer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5mYXJwcm9jLndpZmkuYW5hbHl6ZXIiXQ.. to see what's being used around you and changing your router to get away from others.
It might not work but worth a go because I couldn't believe the difference when I switched channels.
My i9100 has very very poor signal....i try a lot of modems (kh3, nelp3, etc) and roms (GB, ICS, JB) with no lucky. Is strange but when I take my phone from the bottom with hand (where the antenna is located), the signal immediately lost, and when i take phone from the top and put it upside down, i have one or two bars of signal.....I have seen this page: http://www.mobilerdx.com/2012/05/samsung-galaxy-i9100-s2-no-service.html# but I guess that is not my case because I have a little signal. What can I do??? Is a hardware issue??? Please help and sorry for my bad English....

Did you give the modems time to settle? They're like roms in that you have to give them a few battery cycles to see the difference between them.
Also, what rom are you on? You can refer to the thread in my sig for the info needed to get the best answers..

Here is the [REF] Galaxy S 2 Shipped Modem Collection
as what the guy way above me said, kernels are like ROMS, usually just flashing and then using the same modem for 3-5 days should tell you how well it performs in your country and with you Mobile Network operator. Please remember that it takes around 2-3 days for a Modem to "settle" and achieve optimum performance, so don't judge how good a Modem is straight after flashing. That's where a lot of people fail when asserting battery drain.
but you can test your signal strength here: Network Signal Info
i hope this will help you!
cheers
Thank you guys for your replies but my problem is more serious. No matters which rom or modem i am, the phone signal is practically 0 all the time, only when i take my phone from top and turn the phone and extend my harm, i can take a little signal, or when i am very close to operators antenna i cant take decent signal.... the phone is useless now to make and receive calls....i think maybe is a hardware problem, but the little signal makes my think is software, i dont know......i´m crasy now....

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
It seems to be a hardware problem. Insert your SIM to other phone and check the signal.
SOLVED.......I do it!!!!
It seems that my problem was the white cable connector on top, or something like that, because when I put a small wire from the white cable (with a small cut in the coverage) to the external antenna input, the signal comes back like a charm!!!. I leave a picture of the mod in case anyone needs to do the same and I hope this helps.

Hello. I bought a S3 Pebble Blue 16gb about 6 months ago. The prone its not locked and camed from Free Mobile network in France. Since then I had wifi problems ... signal dropping, constant speed 5Mb, no wifi N. I waited for new firmwares ... tried modified ROM's like Omega but still no luck. With the new ROM for France JZO54K I can see some small improvements (the wifi connects a little faster and there is a small increase in speed) but the wifi is still pretty unusable. I have 3 different Wifi N Routers at Home and all connect for a brief time at 65MB or &@ in wifi N and then drops to wifi B or G down to 5MB or 1 MB. When I connect for 30 seconds the internet works well but after that u cannot use it anymore ... the speed is very very low. The 3G network works a lot faster than my wifi. I have tried different routers and the same results. I invited 2 of my friend with Galaxy s3 and their phones connect ok in wifi N 72MB to my router. I have a Iphone and Ipad that both work well on my network so the routers are out of the question. I have tried all the "fixes" i could find on the internet with no luck. Do you think this could be a problem that the guarantee could fix it? I dont want to send the phone and to get it back the same when they see that the wifi works ... but with 5mb ....
I made a small movie to explain the "things" better.

I have the same problem, although my phone worked perfectly for about 6 months. I thought in the beginning that my WiFi chip was broken. through multiple drops from small distances. But I can't help you more then just saying that I have EXACTLY the same problem. The WiFi at home works for my PC, MAC, Ipad, Iphone(s), and all my other media, flawlessly. So the only thing I can think of is that we join forces and search the forums and keep track of new ways to fix the issue. Good luck and please post back if You find the solution.
Thanks for the reply. I'm considering calling Samsung for the waranty but I allready know their answer ... "does the wifi works ? ... yes ... Well there is no problem" and the waiting time in France I heard its from 2 to 6 weeks ...
There are some smart solutions one can try but they require some software on Pc and so forth. Look at the post named (my galaxy s3 won't connect to wifi), on the Q&A section for sgs3 here. They give some tips

Hi dude.
Now after some time I have a working phone. This phone has given me more then one headache. The wifi problem I had seemed to be kernel specific. When I started with faryaabs supernexus rom M1 (latest) the phone seemed to work. Instead the phone startes freezing. I solved this to through the DFG method in the ulultimate freezing thread here on xda. So my recommendation is to root install cmw recovery and try faryaabs latlatest rom. Heck you might like it.
Im currently on the leaked 4.2.2 touchwiz. Works ok!!
Cheers
Niko
