Hi all, guess i posted in the wrong thread.. new here...
is anyone having a problem with the wifi after updating to jellybean for s3?
inital connection to WIFI works but after a certain period of time, the wifi stopped working and i need to restart the wifi again for internet to load. IT happens all the time now after leaving my phone with WIFI on.
Constant restarting WIFI to get connection does not happen in ICS..
So I rooted and loaded the custom ROM on my Xperia X10 exactly following the instructions on the video found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305945 (Installed the ROM specified in the OP of that thread)
It works well, except for one issue. The wifi doesn't connect automatically to my home network even when within range; one second it is connected and the next it disconnects and doesn't re-connect. I then have to go to Wireless settings and wait for it to connect, which might happen immediately or after I select Connect. Sometimes, it just goes through a Connecting-Disconnected loop. Any ideas?
I've already set the sleep policy to Never and forgotten the network and added it again.
Apologies if this was answered before; if it was, I'd really appreciate someone pointing out the solution to me.
Open build.prop in root/system, mount as r/w
Search for this line and change scan interval to 30 second (or fewer) :
Code:
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=30
You're done :beer::thumbup:

From first impressions, that *looks* to have sorted the problem out. Much thanks :good:
Unfortunately, that hasn't solved the problem, even after setting the interval to 10.
The problem goes like this:
I'm within WIFI coverage area of my home wifi, and the first time I switch wifi on, it connects automatically. After sometime, it just disconnects without reason as I'm using my mobile without moving out of coverage area. Now the most irritating part is that it doesn't connect automatically again. I'll then have to go to my wifi settings, select my wifi network (which proves that it's still in range) and select connect again. This again doesn't work all the time, and sometimes it just goes through the scanning->connecting->disconnected cycle. wifi sleep policy is set to Never fwiw.
I want to know how to stop it from disconnecting randomly even when within range, and connect automatically when in range, as this is extremely infuriating to use now
Is this a known issue with the mod that I'm using? If so, is there any other mod that I can use?
PS - The wifi was alright in the original SE device before rooting.
I have had this happen too.
I'm using DoomKernel V6 [root] on GB 2.3
Wi-Fi is active in a Wi-Fi coverage area with a stable connection and good signal.
Screen times out and after some time the phone is used again and screen unlocked.
Wi-Fi does not attempt reconnect to Access Point.
Status shows Wi-Fi in a state of scanning.
Preferred SSID is shown as available with good signal., but not connected/connecting
Disable Wi-Fi and re-enable Wi-Fi
Connection is re-established.
I have an XPERIA S v4.0.4 in the same Wi-Fi coverage zone using the same SSID and it connects every time. Just unlock the screen and a couple of seconds the preferred SSID is connected/re-connected. Every time.
XPERIA X10i
I did at one stage have a timed Airplane mode app that would disable Telephony and 6 hours later re-enable Telephony.
I was on a GB v2.3 build with DoomKernel V6 and XS system apps and after Telephony had been disabled is was _not_ possible to establish a Wi-Fi connection without restarting the phone. Although some times you could 'jag' it and make a re-connection, but mostly, it would only say disconnected and no options would re-establish a Wi-Fi connection to the preferred AP even when it was seen as an available AP and good signal. Disable and enable Wi-Fi did nothing.
After numerous other ROM/Kernel installs over time, I'm now back on GB v2.3 and DoomKernel V6 [root] with XS system apps.
This time round I only have to disconnect/re-connect to establish a Wi-Fi connection. No more phone reboots required, even in airplane mode.
Many times the Wi-Fi connection does re-establish itself, it's just a nuisance when it doesn't do it every time and you have to disable/enable Wi-Fi to establish a connection.
What I've tried without success.
[X] Added a static ARP on the router
[X] I changed wifi.supplicant_scan_interval down to 50 from 120 no change after a couple of days.
[X] Changed advanced Wi-Fi timeout from AC power and screen-off
I'll check logcat next time and see if that gives any clues.
Thanks for the input
Now, can someone swoop in and tell the solution?
Anyone?
If no one has any idea, are there steps on how to install a new custom ROM instead of the existing one?

seems that your bootloader is locked because i saw on that thread that you talking about that you are on Zdzihu cm7 rom with his kernel for locked bootloaders ... so i recommend this one to you :
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zhdzap0cek4pkvh
by ThJap its totally fast and stable with no issues
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193001
just download the zip file and put it on sd card then go to xrecovery :
1. Full wipe, Wipe dalvik cache, and wipe battery stats.
2. Flash the ThGo_v.XXX.zip package via xRecovery
then its done.

Hi,
You probably already noticed that by your self..
When you're downloading something over 3G, and you turn the WIFI on during the process, there is no problem because it authenticates and connects the WIFI network and meanwhile keeps the 3G still alive.. it only shuts it off when the WIFI is completely connected and therefore the download is not hanging off..
Unfortunately it was not programmed backward.
When you are on WIFI and turning off the WIFI to move to 3G, or perhaps when you were at home and now walking away the range and so it automatically disconnects it, so it leaves the WIFI first and few seconds later it trigger the 3G and connect it..
During those few seconds you lose the connection and if you were on downloading process it hangs off..
So I was thinking, why not force the 3G on, connects, and only then, hang off the WIFI..
Any app that can do that? or any developer that might wanna pick up the glove?
I'm sure it will help few others but me..
Thanks ahead!
Sorry if i missed something , but on every kitkat ROM , wifi drops after sometime.
i am using connectify to create wifi hotspot & it gets disconnected if i don't use it for few mins even though hotspot is active.
I have to restart the hot spot in order to re-connect. & no this isn't problem with connectify because this problem doesn't happens in Stock ROM ,
Any solutions ?
Hey i have Sony Xperia D6502 and on a 5.1.1 version wifi connections dropped . I try hard reset and no result. What can I ?
Thanks , i have bad English sorry guys
Does the WiFi connect for a very short duration (for about 5-10 seconds and then drop connections)?Also does the WiFi slider get stuck at turning on position or the WiFi is unable to connect to any router(it says connecting but says saved later and doesn't connect)? If any of the above happens I can positively confirm that it's a hardware problem and you could send the phone for repairs.
Same problem for me
In my device WiFi stays connected, but internet speed keeps dropping when I go away from router to another room. For about 3-4 meters from router speed is very good, but behind the wall my internet is slow as hell. I tried test network speed on other devices, and any of them have this issue. I have latest Existenz rom, 4G works fine.
