Hello guys,
I got my 3rd xperia S this time without hardware problems, but now seems like my software might be bugged.
When I leave home my wifi symbol stays on my status bar without any bars on it my other 2 devices didnt do this, they had. 73 generic installed with flashtool. This device has. 73 installed from PCC.
Is this normal?
I will upload a picture when I get home as I cant manage to upload it from my device somehow ( help on this would be appreciated as well)
Best regards
just reflash the firmware again, if it still happens then send it back.
here it is. it stays like that until i manually turn Wifi off, if i turn it On again the symbol does not come back until i get home and it connects to my routter.
That's normal

I've seen this happen a few times both on my xperia S (.62) and on my ZTE Blade (custom 2.3.5 rom). I don't think it's anything to worry about.
weird thing that it didnt happen on my last 2 Xperia S, i will install SG Gerneric .73 today on top of my OTA .73 and see if it changes
Mine does this too. It is a problem as there are times when I'm not getting any email and then switch off the wifi (even though it's not connected to anything) and then emails flood in from the last hour or two...
I've got a stock xps from UK...
Thoughts?

I think the phone shuts off the data connection if a wifi connection is established.
If wifi is turned on but no connection is made, the data icon stays for me and I can browse also...

I have a very apparent problem on my phone similar to the Iphone 4 problem but only with Wi-Fi. It's very minor compared to Iphone 4's recent problem (which was fix not too long ago..). While holding the phone in landscape mode and having your left (or right) hand on top the phone reduces the frequency of Wi-Fi and utterly disconnects. I have this problem in my room because my router is 3 floors down, it isn't the greatest reception but it works. So in summary when Wi-Fi is 1-2 bars, holding you hand atop the phone disconnects or lowers your Wi-Fi reception. This is a piss off... Either someone can fix this, or we need to complain to Sony ****ersson about this problem.
or move your router one floor up...
No, thats not something im going to do, the iPhone got a fix, why cant we?

@zephyrix i agree with you or better buy wifi antenna booster..... solve the problem...
That's not a problem, its simply because you are far away from the router, when it happens to you when you are at closed range, come and talk about it.
and cleary you don't know the real issue the iphone had...

+1 mezo9090.. it's a mobile phone.. the receiver won't be as strong as a PC Wifi receiver.. you could get an booster, or a better router..

I Think I have a WiFi problem as mine fails to turn on constantly. It will only start after I freshly boot it, then it turns off after about 15 minutes and is unable to start again until I power off, and back on.
If I go to the settings menu, wireless controls and tap to turn on WiFi it shows "Turning on..." for roughly 15-20 seconds then says "Unable to start WiFi"
This happened before and after I rooted with R2BA023 Firmware.
Anyone else encounter anything similar?

Hi Reeonimus - I just finished rooting my x10a from Rogers and I can't connect to my wifi at work, it was working before, so now I have to figure this one out.
I will see if I have the same problem at home tonight, will keep you posted
If you were having problems before, maybe your wifi in the phone is the problem
did you connect to wifi when you first received it? before doing anything to it
There is wifi patch for people who rooted the phone. Go back to the same rooting thread and look at the 4th post.

well I tried it last night and it connected perfectly at home.
I'm going to have to figure this one out
home is using WEP-Personal and so is my office.
but at the office it gives me a "Obtaining address" but just stops there.
I have full signal strength, but unsuccessful
It was connecting before the root
Patch file : I just installed it and it didn't fix anything, if anything it actually made it worse I think
What does that WiFi patch do?
And has anyone gotten WPA2 enterprise, or PEAP working? I'll need that for uni...
I came across this: http://pboos.ch/wordpress/2009/04/android-using-wpa2-enterprise/

I barely used the phone before I rooted so I don't know if the problem was there before. The bluetooth also had problems turning on.
However I reset the phone to factory settings and returned it for a new one. Then I realized that resetting it only reset the apps and everything, it was still on the R2BA023 firmware. They took it back and gave me a new one because they didn't notice though.
Rooted the new one and have had no problems since.

Hi guys, I'm an AT&T user on 1.6. I am looking for the wi-fi patch, as my wi-fi drops off with my cellular reception. Will this patch fix this problem? If you can point me to the rght direction, I would appreciate it. Trying to search but it appears search is down for the moment. Thanks
Screw it. I'm ready to jump to 2.1, since AT&T doesn't look like they are going to be rolling this out. Does 2.1 still have this wi-fi issue?
coughee, they have a stock 2.1 out now, just use the search to root it. have you checked for seus updates?? lately?
Repaired the phone twice and still getting constant reboots its ver annoying, anyone else had this issue moving to nordic 2.1 [UK] keeps happening when trying to download from market mostly at the moment
same problem, havent found fix yet
EDIT: only seems to happen when trying to enter "Downloads" section of market

I'm on global rom now, didn't seem to fix the problem. Tho using the phone but staying away from crash causing market while searching internets for a solution. And time seems to have fixed the problem, phone only seems to crash and reboot now if I stress it
Problem not fixed, but is quite rare now. Tho still don't know what it was or is

.. it doesn't happen too often, but when it does, it's ****ING ANNOYING!!
reboots while on GPS
It doesnt allow me to start the GPS hardware. If I disable the GPS hardware and start gmaps it works fine but when the GPS is enabled and the moment I enter the GMaps the small icon blinks for a bit and the phone reboots.
any clues ?
i think we all are facing similar problem
i had posted the following on this thread -
t=830520
"i am facing the same issue...a workaround is to remove the battery, sim and sd card for 5 minutes and then put them all back and start
although the phone starts sometimes when i connect to my computer or try to restore the backup it gets into the loop again"

Have the same problem. When I open Navigation Software, it works fine. When I turn on the GPS Satellite it reboots itself.
No ideas?
I no longer have the jit hack, but I remember reading in the thread that once your memory goes under a certain percentage it reboots. So they suggested using a task killer.
just fyi^^

That sounds like it fits, mine only really reboots when I stress it
Tho I notice when I kill apps, it kills my phone signal then reconnects. Any idea on what I need to exclude to stop that?

Anyone found a good fix for this I cant even open a game or GPS for longer than a min, just froze and reboot on a phone call and had to leave the battery out for a bit, this has been going on for ages now and getting worse and hotter. Only just got it back from SE Repair yesterday with a software reflash despite me stating in the letter that does not fix the issue, argues half the day with SE girl who said they wont replace any parts on 1st or second return even if they know there is a problem with it, i ended up loosing it a little. Very poor from a big company, send an email yesterday to SE main office and complaints, no reply either. The shop wont replace as its been 5 months says its SE's problem, but my phone is essentially becoming a paper weight
What annoys me most is a bought a webcam over a year ago from ebay and now its buggerd 1 email to microsoft tech support and they are sending a replacement out no need to send back the current one. Came as an open box purchase and everything, but when you pay for expensive hardware thats faulty the company has no interest in a propper repair/replace
It was a problem of power management chip and power path problem probably too little vias or whatnot. You need to get it fixed at the stealer for the main board replacement. Reflashing your device won't work at all. And you have to refrain from using cpu intensive app like robo defense and charging the device at the same time.
Hope this isnt a start of something, but my notification led went white, phone locked, blank screen and reboot

Ive had this for a couple months now, getting worse and worse, since 1.6, multiple re flashed etc. Never fixes, cant [lay games now it crashes and reboots certainly cant handle navigation! Seems to be a problem with the phones, waiting on a spare phone to use while I send mine back to SE. Very annoying sometimes it goes on a reboot cycle takes ages to come back up and keeps rebooting as soon as it starts. Always worse when plugged in to usb/wall
Hey i have been getting the same thing........ random reboots........ since i updated to 2'1. I flashed aosp firmware. Same thing there. Called SE, they said tht i might not have properly upgraded my phone, so come to SE Service Centre.

I haven't had these strange reboots, but lately while manually rebooting my phone it hangs on the rogers white screen for ages.
So? No solution yet? Mine goes into reboot when being charged, specially when opening some apps. The battery then, too, gets overheated. Any solution?

SE is completely ripping me off !!!
I went to their service centre, they told me my phone has been purchased outside my country and will have to pay for software restore and if hardware problem, 75% of mobile cost. It was purchased outside of my country, but I never had this problem with other electronic devices.
It started turning itself off when i first got it.. so I thought i would upgrade to ICS and root the device; all went well with that. But i am still experiencing random shutdowns, and then i will boot it up and try to continue what i was doing and it turns off again.. sometimes it goes hours without happening.. happens a lot while browser or youtube app is running..any ideas guys?

It just ShutsDown, and then I have to hold the power button to turn it back on.
It acts as if the battery is dead, but it does this no matter what the battery charge % is at.
Any ideas?

are you running a stock rom? or a custom one? rooted or not? and which version, ICS or HC?
do you use a simcard on the tablet?
if rooted, what are the root apps you are using?
details please
Im running ICS provided by Huawei website, and rooted via info provided on xda forums. Im running superuser and autoproxy software. I dont think this has anything to do with it though as it was also shutting down randomly before firmware update and root. I thought maybe updating firware would fix the issue, but it didnt. It seems like its being shut down like there is no battery, so something is sending the power control settings bad information..just a guess though.

hey,
i too have this problem, still do not know why it happen.
mine is running stock software HC 3.2
that was random restart. it happen to me with HC and ICS. but when on HC i must press n hold the power button twice to turn on again. but on ICS it restarts itself.
i think that was radio GSM problems. if i run with wifi it works fine. no random restarting.
This problems happened for me too. But in the last month there was no more switching off .

today it startrd happening to me too...how to solve this problem? it works fine if I boot it without sim card or with charger plugged in
I found that it occurs when tab is connecting to 2G network. I tried to google that problem and I found many threads on many forums mostly HTC sensation related (same CPU - msm8260 as in our mediapad). If I switch network modeto WCDMA only, tab no more shuts down, but every restart switches network mode back to WCDMA preferred, how to force it to use WCDMA only all the time? or how I can solve self shutting down? I lost warranty card so I don't have warranty anymore.
Having the same problem and there isn't a service center here.
you need to replace battery....I replaced mine and it doesn't shutdown anymore.
My tab keeps randomly restarting itself, how do I solve this problem
Mine too!
It's happened alot over past two weeks and it's now done it 3 times in past 2 1/2 days. Screen stays black press any button does nothing and hold down power still does nothing. Only way is to hold volume up and power for 3 vibrations then power back on its really annoying and must be due to some problem....?

am going thru this currently ... and i cant do anything to the device at all! urs might work after the restart ... i've done the power button/volume up restart that didnt help ... did the emergency reset using the red button also didnt work ... the phone is running in the background as i can still receive whatsapp msgs but i cant view them as am receiving "inititalbootsetup" isnt responding either close or wait ... and again both of these options arent working ..
Go to settings and disable auto brightness. I'm not sure why it works, but after researching for a while on this same issue, this is the setting that worked for me. Try it and update us if it works.

Did you guys update to 257 without wiping? I didn't wipe, but there might be some bugs sticking around from 532. Do a factory reset (full wipe if you have recovery) and see if that solves it.
any updates on this issue .the device screen simply doesnt wake-up from sleep ,unless you hard reboot .
i'm on 290 stock ,and testing the auto brightness disable method.
update : issue persists with auto-brightness disabled .
Hmm, it has to be a software bug. I can't see how this could be a hardware issue. Have you tried everything? Wiping? Re-flashing? Flashing a different ROM?
I did still get it on stock rooted rom. Twice in a day

Happened to me view times when i tried to play movies, weird thing its not all movies, just some of them. Then i tried to remember what did i just installed because it never happens before. For me it was Nooxzoid, i uninstall it, and it back to normal.
So maybe try to remember does it happened before or just recently, maybe some app went roque with your phone.

I have it just once though two days ago. Force reboot it by the button i almost gone mad when it's still not working, but somehow after a minute, it's normal again. I don't know why. But in case of yours, try to upgrade to the latest ROM first. That might fix it for you. No point for rooting if you can't fix the problem so let it go.
