[Q] WIFI problem - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi everybody, I recently bought a X10 mini pro and when I am at home the WIFI connects and disconnects, I don't know what could be the problem.
My configuration is:
Static IP OK
gateway OK
mask OK
dns1 Ok
dns2 OK
everything is Ok because i have a laptop and a samsung i550 in the same network and all are working just fine (no collisions , all the ips are diferent, checked), could be a router problem? it is a linksys, may be a connection type problem?

I sometimes have wifi issues on custom ROMs, I usually find that wiping the cache/delvik cache in CWM or Xrecovery fixes the issue for a while.
You could also try deleting the wifi profile and then re-entering the information 'or' setting up a static IP address on both the phone (advanced settings) and the router, the only problem is if you use lots of different wifi connections.

Wipe cache and dalvik cache. If that doesn't help, backup your phone, make a factory reset. If that doesn't help, make all the 3 things together, reinstall the ROM with CWM and restore your things, backed up with Titanium backup before.
Don't backup system settings, because when you restore them, you may restore also the Wi-Fi problem. Only backup user apps and data.
After you solve the Wi Fi problem, you can backup everything, including the ROM and its settings with CWM for example.

Maybe this answer is a little late for you, but I have the same problem until I noticed that, in Wifi configuration, you have a menu where you can change the wifi power off politic, so you can change to "never". Perhaps this will help...

Wi-Fi Unable To Start

Just upgraded to 2.1 Nordic (X10a), and everything works fine, excepts Wi-Fi doesn't work.
It worked when I first started the phone, then I think I did a restore with Titanium backup, then it stopped working. I did a master reset, Wi-Fi worked, then I restored everything one more time, and it stopped working.
Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it?
3G and all other apps work fine BTW.

I'm getting the same thing with WiFi saying "Unable to start". I had installed Titanium, but hadn't restored anything relating to WiFi (have been restoring apps individually).
I can't use static IP,the WLAN settings just display "Unsuccessful" with 2.1.
If you're using WEP, try punching in the WEP in Hex instead of ASCII. Before this, I had problems obtaining an IP address from my router's dhcp server for unknown reasons.
Hope this helps. =)

It doesn't work, like even trying to enable Wi-Fi fails...
Just did a reset, I'll avoid restoring with Titanium, let's see if that works.
Maybe an 'adb logcat' might shed some light on the root of the problem when trying to enable your wifi.

yea i did the same thing and it still kept happening.
I haven't tried reset, but yeah it happens as soon as you turn WiFi on.
I had this issue earlier, it was fixed with a reflash for me. You can try it as a last resort (or sooner, before you add too much stuff to the phone)
same problem here!, any body have the solution??

is it works??
I had the same issue (wifi failed to start) I thought it was due to the rooting process as I could get it to start with a clean flash of 2.1
I had to reflash 2.1, then root.
I presume the issue is due to restoring some 1.6 settings, as I used Titanium again and it did exactly the same.
So, reflash again, wifi works... root, wifi works... titanium to restore apps only, wifi works.
I just changed the setting manually. A little bit of a pain, but now I get Wifi OK.
Wish I knew an easier way, but thats how I got around it
I just re-flashed then re-rooted. Tested WiFi after the flash, and then after the root, and finally after installing Titanium and restoring my apps (only the apps... no system settings). In all three cases when I initially turned WiFi on after a reboot, I would get the "Unable to scan" error, but now WiFi remains on instead of shutting itself back off.
I don't have any WiFi networks available here at work to test, but I'll see if things are working when I get home.

you dont have to re flash the phone. you could have gone into settings > privacy > factory reset. that way you keep root and it wipes everything on the phone.
i did notice that after using titanium i also had a problem with my market. whenever i downloaded an app it would just say that the download is about to start but would never download. so i did a factory reset and and used the stock restore that came on the phone to get my settings and messages and stuff back.
still havent used titanium to restore anything.
last time i used titanium i did restore apps with data and it messed up my phone so this time i will restore MISSING apps with data without the system data and see what happens.
report back soon
Mine works fine now...but that stupid popup everytime you plug it into your computer is really annoying, and if you close it, it's too hard to find after.
Anyone know if that can be disabled/changed?

is it means that using Titanium BackUp isn't permited??,
any other solution to restore our backup (apps with system data)??,
Just wanted to post confirmation that I tried my WiFi once I got home, and everything is working as expected. So the re-flash seems to have fixed things.
Same thing happened to me, I batch restored with titanium..wifi stopped working. I reflashed the FW and the problem went away..I have restored some apps individually (not batch)..and it's still working fine.

You can use titanium to restore. You just have to be careful what batch to use I used restore all apps with data and it messed everything up and had to do a hard reset.
I tried to using restore missing apps with data and was able to get my old apps and keep all settings and info for the apps. And everything works fine. Market and wifi
Like it restored my game saves and notes that I had in color notes
The only thing is I had to manually adjust phone settings

thanks for your advice bro!, IT'S WORKS!!!,
market and wifi works fine!, everything is fine!,
I had the same problems with my WLAN and titanium backup. After some search I found the solution. You need to be root, that it work.
only go to data/misc/wifi and delete wpa_supplicant.conf
and now your WLAN works without problems
For the bug with the market I'm searching a solution too..

Please help...wifi problem

After updating on 2.1 I cannot connect on internet...i turn on wifi and it scannig then "unable to scan for networks" appears on screen and wifi turns off. I very disappointed
wifi issue
I am also experiencing the problem. My only guess thus far is that it has to do with restoring data that was backed up in 1.6. I did this using Titanium Backup. Did you do this as well?
yes i did it the same
There is a fix for this. Goto data/misc/wifi in root explorer and delete wpa_supplicant.conf and try the wifi connecting again. The file should just reinstate itself. I had this and other issues because titanium backup restored older versions of a few files, the problem kept reappearing until I factory reset and only restored my user apps and not system ones using titanium.
thanks for your advice...it already works
Any, good to know. I just reinstalled without using a backup everything seems to be working fine.

No Wifi after Upgrade to 2.1 and Titanium Backup restore

Hello,
after the Upgrade and restore from Titanium I cannot use my Wifi any more. On searching for APs it says searching was not possible and turns Wifi off again. Has anyone an idea what I could do?
Thanks!
EDIT: Android info shows WIFI_STATE_DISABLED

I had this on my first attempt at upgrading. I ended up resetting and only restoring apps and data (not system settings) in Titanium.
Mine has no trouble with wifi since
I did also an fresh reinstall and restored apps + data without system settings.
My wifi also doesnt work after 2.1
had the same issue, ended up flashing again & only restore apps, not system settings, all works fine now

[Q] Back up just wifi settings?

Every time I flash a new Rom or update from fresh a new build I have to enter in multiple wifi passwords. I know it's suggested to not back up system data Rom to rom but is there a way to back up JUST my wifi accounts that are stored?
It's not a huge deal but some of these passwords are not 'password' but rather '8d4f856334' lol and not easy to remember so I have to log into the router each time.
Id like to know as well. Getting pissed bcz of this.
use titanium backup back up system and your apps flash your rom run titanium as normal user apps only then go to restore system data uncheck everything except the wifi access points that will restore those passwords
The green system apps should be fine to restore, if you move to GB it saves augomzgically
The noob guide already notes this about system apps

Wifi breaks after time

Hello my phone is an X10 mini Pro U20i with Cyanmod
My wifi breaks randomly, so it stops searching and connecting and can't find any network.
I tried to reboot nothing hapen.
The only way is to restor it.
Does somebody now a better way?
thanks
If you mean factory settings / wiping data via recovery - so that is the only and best way to make it work.
I had similar problem, my x10mini cannot start wifi. Switching on, five sec of searching and automatically switched off... Deleting app data didnt work, so tried wipe data and wifi works till now without problem.
Make backup of your important personal data from phone/card (phonebook, sms, apps etc.) before wiping / restoring factory settings
with root explorer go to system/etc/wifi and search twilan.ini and delete and reboot...saludos...
