Hi!
I’m one of those strange people that WANT the Wifi to stay connected at all times.
I use the tab as a media router, directing media from 4 servers and 3 receivers in the house, quite cool actually...
Now the problem is that every time my tab looses Wifi, it messes up the list of servers/receivers.
I have a slight memory that the Wifi policy settings worked in the beginning, but now they don’t. Witch ever profile I choose, the Wifi is dropped when the screen turns of. I don’t have any powersaving app installed, and I have found a workaround in an app called Softlock. The only problem with softlock is that it seems to keep the CPU awake as well, and this drains battery.
Hopefully someone here in the forum can set there tab to the sleep policy “newer”, then shut of the screen, wait for a couple of seconds then turn on the screen and check the right bottom corner, if you have Wifi/Internet connection.
I am on 3.2, and if someone gets the “newer” disconnect policy working I might just have to bite the bullet and do a soft reset…
I've just selected the wifi disconnection policy to never. that seems to work fine.
Yup bug!
This is a bug on 3.2 for sure even after a factory reset setting the wifi policy to never the wifi connection is disconnected after about only 5 seconds with the screen off. Even setting the setting to never when plugging in and then plugging in the tablet the wifi still goes off as soon as screen turns off.
Other people are also having problem on Sony forum:

Got the same problem here but sometimes its fine.... even bought a new router today and still the same

When you set the Wifi disconnect policy to NEVER, sometimes it needs a powercycle (power off and on) in order for it to take effect.. hold power button for at least 3 seconds, choose OK when it asks you to shutdown. Then turn on again.
I am having this issue with the wifi disconnecting when set to "never" as well. However after a reboot it seems to work for a bit but then starts shutting off again. I think we can safely say this is a definite bug.
didnt stay awake long for 3.1 either..
I kept my tablet s on 3.1 for awhile to see if iit really needed the update it didnt but I opted for it regardless and it no setting change or application I've tried will keep wifi on I call either bug or sony wifi defect.

Let me know what they say. This is the response I received from tech support last week. I'm pretty sure this guy does not even have a tablet next to him or he can see its clearly a bug. And the stuff about it being the router and about it still keeping a connection when downloading is crap. We are not talking about when something is downloading it will keep a Wifi connection just when you put the tablet to sleep.
"I'm sorry that the issue still persists even after performing factory reset and updating the OS in the tablet. The tablet is not known by Sony to be defective in any way and we are not aware of any such issues. Sony does not address any comments published on, or quoted from a non-Sony website.
In that case, I suggest that you reset your wireless router or access point and your cable or DSL modem by removing and reconnecting the AC power source.
After resetting the wireless router or access point, try downloading any application from the android market, then turn off the tablet screen. After that, turn ON the tablet and check whether the application is still downloading. This is to confirm whether the issue is resolved.
If the issue still persists, I suggest that you contact our next level of Hotline Support team. You can contact our technical support team via phone using our toll-free number: 855-476-6982.
Reduce your call wait time. Use our priority service line (US only - Long distance charges may apply): 239-245-6476."

tbh its kinda like talkin to an advanced AI. Hope they really r aware of the problem and will get us an update soon.
well, it is reassuring that they are looking into it....
Mine had the issue for a week, but for the last 2 or 3 days, wifi policy has been prefect.. I wonder if that will go on forever, or if it will stop again if I power off my tablet and switch it back on
Question is now
How long before we get ICS Watched the Google/Samsung presentation and there is alot to like about the Android 4.0 changes. The drag and drop folders, the flipping away email, notifications, chats, apps you are done with, the people app and the improved voice to text are my favorite.
Oops wrong thread, sorry.
i had the same issue when i bought the tablet.. but after a day or so, and a few shut downs seems now is working as intended. Is been 4 days with no more disconnecting when screen goes off.

Its kinda hard to miss if ur not downloading anything or r remotely connected to ur PC f.e. But I tried it on three different devices...they all show "No Internet Connection" in the lower right corner once u turn on the display. It gets back access pretty quickly, but well thats not the problem.
Sony Mod got himself involved in the official Sony tablet forum. Lets hope for the best

You're absolutely right, it did lose internet connectivity even with the always on policy activated!
However this seems to be random, sometimes it does retain the connection, sometimes it doesn't... but definitely something going on there - not so much a need for me, but understandably in need of a fix!
now been over a week with consistent wifi performance, never goes off anymore when screen is locked.... I only had the problem for the first 4 or 5 days, but no issues since..very weird, but glad it finally works as desired.

I wonder if anyone in UK have received the official honeycomb update for the Flyer?
I have been waiting for it for the past 24 hours, unfortunately eventhough I am constantly checking there is no update. Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance.
Nothing for me yet.

nothing,,nada,not a twitch,,think its a fob off myself,due to the large amount of very unhappy htc owners posting on fbook..
not that bothered myself,will wait till the stupidly clever in here sort a nice rom of it..
trick it?
nothing here either..is there any way to use proxies to trick the flyer into feeling its in the netherlands?
Best to root and install a hc ROM from here, can then use honeybar to lose the bottom bar as well as the usual benefits
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
I manually installed it using hboot.
If someone can find vpn/proxy settings for either France or Holland and enter them into the vpn settings you can trick your flyer into thinking its in one of those places and you should be able to download the update.
Just got it here (Talk Mobile unbranded 32Gb 3G). Downloading now...
---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------
All done. Looking good.
just got it this morning,installed and several heart attacks later it sort of goes..
doesnt like angry birds for sure,totally froze it and had to 2 button reboot etc lol.
(have done 3 hard reboots so far,lots of paid for apps(updated them b4 trying) just kill it)
the music player just sits there "loading" dunno what thats about yet.
On holiday in spain so maybe I should get some wifi access form the hotel and see if anything incoming.....could there be any issues with this strategy anybody technical? thanks ....
UPdate Honeycomb UK
Got my update today for flyer quick ten min impression...I think the flyer is slower after the update...just seems to take that little more time to do things...the honeycomb bar at the bottom does make it feel like you lost alot of real estate...pen i like its more useful and works better...cant see the hard touch button when lookin except the pen one which is good as it doesnt look silly having buttons showing that you cant use...on the whole i like....dont mind the soft buttons and bar...just wish certains things ie browser would open up and cover the soft buttons and bar..so you could see more browser....video play seems to turn off bar but its still there just cant see it....anyway thats my first ten mins...
Unboxed my Flyer this morning and got 3 updates, the last one being HC, extremely impressed
Smooth and responsive

Got my update this morning (talk mobile 32GB 3g flyer) and this pretty much sums up my feelings
its a big sluggish but not unusably so, and the pen is much more handy, acting like a stylus which is what everyone seems to assume its going to do when they pick it up so there should be less useless screenshots!!
Edit: This impression of sluggishness may be because i am not comparing it to my Galaxy Nexus, when I used to compare to a Desire ...
Still nothing here for my unbranded 32 gb...
I have no sim card in at the moment, only WiFi. Does it matter?
Honeycomb Flyer...i did say it was a bit slower....seems alot better now i did a factory restore and got rid of all apps that was on before the update...impressed with honeycomb....and after a few hours of play i seems to forgot about the honeycomb soft button bar and the space up it takes...
---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------
Could be..read it was only going out to 3G and Wifi Tablets first...may need the sim card in to get it..but i am sure someone else who know for sure will come along and answer....vespero
No luck with a 3 sim neither...
Not got the update yet. But have been having problems with my exchange sync. Could that be why? o)

The last few days I've been getting together the courage to go S-Off,root and flash Globatron's lovely piece of work, then this 'official' OTA update comes along and tries to trump it! How rude! Is Globatron's 'better' in any way? If so I'll jump on the hacking wagon...
Incidentally, why have some received their update and some not?
well played with it a fair bit today,initial thoughts are seems sluggish to me but may need apps cleaning out n starting again(i do have a lot of carp in there).
not sure i like the loss of the 360 spinny screens,only seem to have a few in either direction n it then stops.
have strange messages come up when on the orig mains charger,it tells me the charger is insufficient to charge the tablet and so it wont charge until i switch tablet off...used to charge fine on gb while switched on so god knows whats going on now..
cant seem to put a folder on screen in order to fill it with icons etc,havent a clue where that option is now..
good few of my borrowed apps no longer work,messages say "this is not an original app"..
also the music player doesnt seem to work,it just says "loading" forever n ever
pen is nifty now it interacts with everything tho my screen cover is now showing more scratches after just a days use.
not worried as much as i thought i mite, about losing the hard buttons,just sort of carried on without thinking about them,little bar onscreen is hardly noticeable tho it did ignore my presses a few times.

The GloblTron post is the exact same ROM as the official OTA with the addition of root and recovery so yes its better, but its the same.
The RUU listed is the exact same stock official OTA, same thing you would receive over the air
Can you adjust the screen sensitivity on this phone, mine is not responding to quickly..
no , i wish that cloud be , cause sometime it is to fast or to slow on my device
- i got a replaced digiticer so i was not sure if that is the problem but i heard more an more time of problems like that on Mozart Divices ...
got no problems with my new Lumia like that

Ive been using the camera without any issues so im not sure if it is related only to a couple apps or if its a possible problem with the camera that may get worse over time.
When using redlaser or att code scanner, after the item is done being scanned, the camera itself makes an audible click which is not a shutter noise. You can feel it, its not as strong a feel as the haptic feedback so i believe its the camera.
Is this something i should be worried about? Should i do an exchange on it?
On a side note, this click does not happen with the normal camera app or with any others ive used, just redlaser and att code scanner so far.
try factory restart

If so, I just tested this...all I did was turn the ringer on and un-check vibrate. I made a test call and it just rang, with no vibration.
I personally would like to know how to change the rockers to not take it off of vibrate. I am tired of hitting these damn things every time I touch the phone.

Yes. I always leave mine on vibrate.
I turned the volume up 2 notches. 1 past silent.
Went to settings>sound>vibrate. Then I unchecked it. I just tried again and it works a treat.
I am on Fresh 5.0.0
I tried it on my partners who is stock, but is "rooted" same results. With and without the screen on.
NOTE: Haptic feedback is still working with that setting un-checked.
I have a 3rd EVO 4G LTE that I haven't rooted and can test on if I need, but he isn't here today. Also, I doubt very seriously the results will be any different.
ok thanks ls3mach, mine must have a glitch in the system cause vibrate is unticked in setting>sound>vibrate,and every time I recieve a call it vibrate and ring!
might have to go to sprint and let them check it out

The update fixes Fingerprint Sensor issues! I was having lots of problems getting my finger print registered with my Spigen case. Now it's so smooth and easily registers your fingerprint with the case on! This should have been mentioned in the update information!?
