Hi all,
I noticed wifi connectivity issue on new ICS ROM. I tried both ICS official and custom ROM. Both are having same issue. For wifi It seems GB is better than ICS !!!
Issues:
- when i download something, sometime connection dropped and reconnect in a second.
- when i open a pages on browser, get delay to load a normal page. It seems mobile network is better than wifi
Did anyone feel the same, please share your commend here.
Also a thread i found on sony forum, replicate the same issue!!!
Yes even i am having the same issue...

I cross check the router with GB Neo v mobile, working great !, Also i am using wifi at office, working with ICS same result (Office router can be connect over 1000 in a time).
However is a GB problem too
Finally is emerging the bad wifi module we have on 2011 Sony, and is not ICS the cause, but probably it shows better the lack of wifi.
Keep in mind that the issue is hardware, this chip can't guarantee a stable connection and a stable reception of the beacons.
See the immense discussion on sony support forum about "xperia keep dropping wifi connection".
There is nothing to do, bad hardware and stop.
Who didn't experience the problem with GB was only lucky, try to change the router or download a ubunto distro and see like it drops.
Agreed

Here is thread with same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599459
and as you can see problems got solved with replacing router.
There are 2 problems in ICS with WiFi.
1) people can't connect AT ALL to their routers, which worked on GB,
2) dropout issues.
So many of you who have those problems, by this time you could create list of routers which have that problem, and see if there is pattern.
Or wait some dev who have that problem to fix it, as it's hard to create something if you don't experience that problem.

I wonder anybody flashed GB.XXKPF.WT-0.2.0 ROM for Galaxy Player 5.0 INTL (YP-G70). Is there any bugs? Any improvement for wifi reception signal?

The only issue I see so far is some camera apps will have upside down images but I am not sure if it is even a problem of the ROM or the app. Other than that there is nothing bother me when using the rom, but I have to say that I never use any of those Samsung apps. So there may be problems that I am not aware of.
As for wifi reception, if I am right next to the router, I've got a Rssi value of -34 and Elixir2 says (98% - strong). If I am in another room (there is a solid concrete wall between the device & the router), the signal will drop to around -86 and Elixir2 will say (31% - medium), which is still usable.
Thanks WT. I used to have Skype camera upside down problem when I was on Froyo, but when upgrading to GB, it was solved. However, wifi signal was weaker than Froyo (maybe ~30% less?). Lots of forum mentioned it's a common problem for GB (regardless of model).
BTW. How differentis this ROM from G70XXKPF-rooted-rj10 (also yours)? Tinking to flash one which is more stable and battery efficient.

There is no modification to G70XXKPF-rooted-rj10 except for root and a custom kernel. If you prefer stability, G70XXKPF-rooted-rj10 will be a better bet. You can try out various kernel versions to see which one has better battery life.
The GB.XXKPF.WT ROM looks similar on the surface but all the jar files and apk files were decompiled and compiled again (because of modding). So there is a higher risk in using this ROM. Although it looks stable on my device, it is hard to say for others. Actually two users have just reported problems about flashing the 0.2.0 ROM.
As for wifi problem, I don't really see that my self. If you have some links to GB wifi problems, I can have a look.
One in our forum mentioned it too (after upgrading to GB):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141893&page=13
I checked my current wifi reception and have similiar signal strength as yours. However, if you revert to Froyo, you will find big improvement immediately esp a distance from your router. Should get plenty when google "poor wifi reception Gingerbread Samsung galaxy S". The other is problem of connecting hidden SSID which can be patched from Market (HiddenSSID enabler).
I can find patch for i9000 not YP-G70.

Wifi problem can be difficult to reproduce and fix because of every site is unique. The patch you found is interesting though. I peeked into that patch, it needs further study because the patch includes some binary files which looks like firmware for the wifi chip. If our player use the same chip, there is a chance that the patch may work. Or we can try restoring the firmware of Froyo and see if it will work with the current kernel. (These are all speculations though.)
Just did a binary compare of the wifi firmware of this patch with the firmware I found on our device. They are the same! So the patch you found can potentially be used on our player.
It is said only suitable for XXJVS. I've asked if it's suitable for our device (bottom of their thread), and answer is no. Interesting why it's only for one specific rom? WT, wonder if you feel better wifi reception when you were on Froyo?
Is Wifi config in any relation with kernel?

If you unzip their "patch", you will see what is really inside. There are a couple bin files, I think those are firmware of the wifi chip (often closed source and only binary is available). Other than that, there are a number of text files for configuration of the wifi which can likely be tweaked. They didn't patch the kernel or the android framework.
Their way of flashing is odd though because the update script of the 2nd patch will overwrite what they have patched in the first patch.
If the firmware bin files are exactly the same, then what we need to do is to tweak the setting.
I am not good at this at all. Can you pls tell what tweak have they done by comparing their settings and original one on our device. Is conf file the driver for wifi chip? Really hope wifi reception can be improved on our device since it is the only way to connect internet. Currently, the signal is a lot weaker than your laptop (and only close to laptop when it is on Froyo which I am reluctant to go back).

Oops! What I want to say is "I haven't done that before...". Anyway, I will first do a comparison of wifi related files of different ROM first. That will give use some idea where to start.
I use ICS beta (MT15i_Neo_ICS_ROM_v1.2.zip) with NightElf kernel. All works perfect, also wi-fi works perfect without one wifi access point (my home)! On all wifi points it works, but on one it not connect fast, it connect-disconnect-connect-cisconnect... after some time it connect, but sometimes it is so long! I tried many ICS roms, some problem! With Intek kernel wifi not work at all...
Have to resolve this?

Have same issue and yes Kormatoes, have tried the regional fixes which none seem to work going back to GB and everything is working but ICS is brilliant and the only bug I seem to encounter and I am not the only one is the WiFi bug, I have yet to get a kernel/rom to work with WiFi properly. at least not with my homes WiFi, maybe it's something else? if it were to be a regional problem then perhaps why would it work in other places besides the home? maybe it has problems with specific WiFi channels? or something else? just trying to be of help here when I get some spare time.
I dont seem to have this problem on any network, so try KA13 ROM with NightElf kernel on that page. Maybe it helps...
KA13 wifi works better than other roms, today we'll have a new realease.
Can you point me in the direction of these regional fixes? Googled around and also searched the forums but can't seem to find anything to suggest that there are regional baseband files or any specific fixes to be had.
Many thanks in advance!
Hi all,
i already mention this issues in this post...please take a look..
i think, the best for me now, is waiting for my regional ics release...
In short: after a while (I'm not sure how much can happen in an hour and can also within 6-10 ..) Internet just getting crazy and not work anymore, he decides not to work any more and even have signs of reception (also with full reception that is four bars) and even I connected to the quick (and the problem is not the network because it happens basically everywhere) I tried to fix it through the Recovery: <advence> toggle wifi premmision tried through the tarminal emulator things short, I can not find a solution and I'm sure the problem is the kernel that before I installed it and I just had the ROM with the web to work right without the kernel .. but this phone is worth 1 doller that the games barely moving .. so if possible I need a solution that will work on this kernel! Please Help

I've never had a problem with WiFi with it. If you keep having the problem, it may be your phone that is buggy and if you have a warranty you should have it fixed.

Please only post once, when someone can help you they will post a reply.
Anyway onto the main topic, Basically as said above by Sirp0p0, I would try another ROM, Personally I have no idea what kind of ROM to try, just off the top of my head GTR (Gamer - Talho - ROM), but that is only based on the screenshots, I personally have not tried it.
Just from my own experience, try out different ROMs, find the one that you personally like and suites your own style. If any bugs / issues are found, read the forum / previous posts there maybe updates or updates coming.
When you say it happens everywhere, please describe what you mean.. If you mean everywhere _in_ your house then it maybe a router problem / DHCP disconnecting you, it could also be a screen time out issue, I know that when I am connected VIA wifi to my net, if my screen locks, my internet disconnects (on stock p500 GB rom ver, 2.3.3).
In short it could be various things, to be able to help you can you give us some more information, your rom, build number, can you provide any screenshots? Also how are you trying to access the internet? Through what application exactly? It is also possible it's a buggy app? but these are just my thoughts and ideas, maybe some other XDA members will be able to help you or give you more info than me.
everywhere=my house..school ..friend house and stuff like this.. and what you are talking about is wifi sleep policy i turn it to never so it isnt my problem..but ty for trying
any body else?plz help?
Please help someone

It's a stock bug, once the devs get a good foothold in the ICS foundation, it's gonna be fixed, just a little patience for now, k?
yeah ok but why the nightmare rom and the fastamaze rom work flawlessly , the wifi that is... they're on ics too.?

Yeah but you see the difference is, most of the roms are stock based, therefore the bug is still there, nightmare and fastamaze on the other hand had to be built from the ground up when it came to hardware things like wifi, so until the guys have some source to work with or have the time to make their fixes from those roms workable on stock, it's gonna be a little glitchy.
i wonder why the phone can see all my neighbors wifi except mine it takes like 5minutes!?

try changing your wireless security type on your router. WPA personal AES works well for me.
I mistakenly deleted my nandroid of my original stock shipped ics rom. When i try to go back to stock with one of the stock roms listed, any wifi is detected but will not connect. Goes through the authenticating and obtaining ip address and juststrats over. I can use energy rom and no problem.

I'm using NRG and the stock ICS radio, and my WiFi connects within a few seconds. Connects instantly, but takes a few seconds to acquire IP addresses & etc.
I think I have the same issue...
I just flashed CM10 onto my Transformer Prime & I'm experiencing the same issue that you describe; the device can see each & every WiFi network in the neighborhood except mine. Please forgive my ignorance but I am not familiar with your device; is it running Jellybean? Your post came up in a Google search that I did re my problem & your post is the closest to describing my problem. Sorry if I am barking up the wrong tree but I've been pulling my hair out trying to sort this one out so any clue would be a massive help to me at this stage.
Hey all,
I recently bought an Xperia Go and updated it to the latest FW
and now a couple of bugs present themselves.
the goal of this thread is to list them and/or list solutions
* laggy launcher
* a lot of widgets aren't supported or simply don't work
* no notification bar settings at all
* Wifi issue's ( more Xperia phones have this, reported to have something to do with the Wpa_supplicant )
(all my keyboard issues where solved by installing JB keyboard)
For the people who still have problems with the laggyness of the phone:
try Munjeni's Kernel and Pimp My Rom (use the different android_upgrade package and only the volume buttons NOT the screen! )
An update from sony has been reported
Proof
hopefully this wil resolve some issues
to be continued
My bugs:
* WalkMate doesn't count steps or count it incorrectly; allways below 50 steps (even when Extended battery is off)
* Camera viewer quality is bad on 5 mpx resolution (when I take pictures they are excellent)

That's not acceptable, seeing that WPA2 is a widely-used standard in academic and commercial environments for WiFi encryption.
Hi.
I have tried ICS official stock from Sony Update Service, yesterday.
1. Laggy
2. Drain my battery, 20 - 40% faster that it did in GB
3. Bad performance, laggy and more laggy.
4. My Xperia Active with ICS are much more faster and smoother.
Back to GB, everything run perfectly

Hi.
Try to reinstall ICS ROM again via Sony Update Service.
Since you had GB before and didn't had any problems with your WiFi at home, and now you have problem with ICS, i believe this is a ICS problem.
If this was a router problem, you should experience the same with your GB ROM.
I did try ICS for couple of days ago, and i didn't had any problem with the WiFi here at home, but ICS was so laggy and had bad performance. I went back to my stock GB again.
I don't understand why some people have laggy device and other not. I thought it was the same phone (Xperia GO).
Well you have to try ICS a couple of days ( the first days the phone is 'learning' your behavior)
and after a while it gets less lags
and for the WiFi problems, i can connect to some routers but not to others,
so i think it's a router issue more then an ICS issue although i can't remember if i had it with GB...
Btw is someone else experiencing problems with low battery:
when my battery gets less than 15% my phone gets very slow (opening apps/switching to launcher)
even rebooting is almost impossible ( at( one time i had to wait until my phone turned off by itself)
Hi.
Well, maybe i should try ICS again and just let it be laggy for couple of days and see if that help, but i also notice that the ICS drain my battery like he....l . Something i don't like at all.
I have been reading at Sony forum, and there is lot of people have problems with ICS.

That doesn't make sense. Loads of wireless devices connect to WPA2 successfully. It's only that this phone, when upgraded to stock ICS, fails to stay connected, and has the wpa_supplicant process hang with 100% cpu usage when such happens. It's definitely a software issue on Sony's end.

That i didn't know, i only experienced that in my bar most phones with ICS or IOS had trouble with WPA2 on my router and when i switched to WPA it seemed that the problems where gone,

Does anyone know a way to "fix" the wpa_supplicant problem?

Easy on the capitals there cowboy... :laugh:
There's indeed a probleem with ICS and the Wifi, if you search the Xperia forums you'll see a lot of complaints about it.
there's no solution at the moment, but there's an official update comming Proof
So you'll have to wait for either
- a solution made/found here on XDA
- an official update (wich hopefully resolves this
- a custom rom ( several can be found, but they're still in development)
- go back to GB
The xperia Go is a very good phone, it just needs some love and attention, some tweaks and customs...
