Hi everybody,
first of all I have to say that the ICS-upgrade for XP was worth the waiting. It is super and many things improved. Especially battery life and the sound went better. ..
But here comes my problem:
When I connect the phone via wifi to my Fritz!Box 7390 (WPA2) I can use the network for a few seconds, but then it crashes. When I make an AP to the box with another router or a computer I can use the network normally, but I cant download anything from the Play Store. It just stucks at downloading. Browsing is ok. Sounds strange does it?
Upnp is enabled and I also tryed to forward the needed ports manually with no sucess. Of course the box has the newest firmware.
Do you have any idea?
Same problem with my Xperia P and FritzBox 7230 - tested it with WPA security and everything is fine for the moment. Can you give this a try? I´m not sure about that problem, maybe it is FritzBox related thing?

Yes, I just tryed that. It works, but when I switch to WPA I can't acess internet from my laptop anymore. Same problem with my gf's laptop. I also guess that this problem is related to the box. I 'll write an email to AVM. When I got new infos, I'm gonna post it here (assuming that collosus won't delete this thread )
I have the same issue with a FritzBox 7340. But it's firmware almost identical to the 7390. I'll test some stuff later today and report back.
Xperia P + Fritz Box
Hi Guys,
I also updated my Xperia P and started to have trouble with my Fritz Box Wireless (7340).
The problem described above seems the same as I concluded.
Does anyone have an update on this?
One strange thing, my wife also has a Xperia P and that one doesn't seem to f**k up the Wlan.
The same with Xperia U + ICS + Fritz!Box 7390

My Xperia U worked flawlessly with Ginger Bread over my Fritz!Box
Immediately after updating I got problemcs with the WiFi network and not only the mobile but the rest of the devices using WiFi were disconnected.
If the problem was on the side of the phone, in any circumstances it should freeze the network
Image that it could be possibe to block a WiFi network just turning on a buggy phone.
There must be something wrong with the Fritz!Box...
I had the same problem with the 6.1.1.B.1.10 on the Xperia U
It's an often recurring problem with this version of the firmware.
The solution was turning of 802.11n and only leave 802.11b+g enabled on the FritzBox
Some other people have had success with changing the security mode from WPA2 to something else
I solved it through opening a guest network on the Fritz!Box. It is secured with WPA. Found no other way.
Interesting test with a second Fritz!box
I have connected a second Fritz!Box 7570 to the first causing the problem ( Fritz!Box 7390).
They are connected in cascade: The 7570 has DSL, DHCP and NAT disabled and its IP address is in the range of the first one (7390) and it is connected to an ethernet port of the other one
I can connect now my Xperia to the 7570 wireless network and everything seems to work so far.
If I connect instead to the 7390 WiFi it freezes it

Hi everybody. Now that I have rooted my mini I could install Barnacle wifi tethering for connecting to my laptop. But after long trials I am still not able to connect my phone with my laptop.
Can anybody with prior experience help me in this regard
For wired tethering I use Easytether which works great.
I havent tryed yet, but try setting the WLAN interface to "tiwlan0" and/or try skipping wpa_supplicant

Wonderful. It is connected with your suggestions. Many thanks.
Partha
Thanks, I also got this to work. What I wonder now is if it is possible to have security for this tether. When we choose skip wpa_supplicant then the security is disabled and it is an open network. When traveling and visiting public places I would be somewhat uncomfortable to have this open network. Barnacle does provide the WEP security option, but in order for this app to work with the x10 mini we need to choose skip wpa_supplicant which opens up the network to all. Any ideas?
I had to change WAN-setting & disable security too to even find the WiFi network.
However, when I connect it doesn't work. I see the in Barnacle "traffic"-pane that my computer sends requests when I try to load a webpage in the browser. But the down-traffic won't increase. Anyone know the next step in troubleshooting?
i left all the settings stock except turned on skip wpa supplicant. mine works great i ran ping- t all night and only lost 15 packs 0% loss, which is less loss than my friends cable internet.
when i first got it working i was using a mix of settings and i had to hit associate every 5 min or my laptop would stop having access to the internet but still remain connected to the network. so i just reinstalled it and it works great now.
This feature is one of the main reason why i bought an android device.
Edit:
after a few more days of pissing about with barnacle i realized that it cuts out when ever the phone is not being charged and falls a sleep and as long as i keep the phone awake its fine. the solution i came to was to open music player and play a song with the volume off and that keeps the phone from going into sleep mode. i know there's supposed to be a setting to stop wifi from turning off while in sleep but i have a branded rom and it doesn't appear i have the option. hope this helps someone.
There are two versions out there, 0.4.2 and 0.5.0. What version do you guys run?
anyone share the settings for barnacle wifi tethering. Its not working in my rooted x10 mini.

I have the exact same problem and have tried everything listed here Anyone find a solution??
It works for me now using Barnacle Wifi Tether 0.6.7 and a SE X10 mini 2.1. Had the same problem before. Now my settings are:
Wireless Encryption: Wep Enabled (with hex password code)
Channel: 6
"Skip wpa_supplicant" - unchecked
Wan: tiwlan0
Hi all.
BarnacleWifi worked fine for two weeks but until I setup new android vertion 2.1.1.A.0.6 he doesn't.
Anyone try it with this one ?
Regards,
Devilo.
Edit: I can see the network on windows7 but when I try to connect, it freeze on "Identification" and I never have ip adress
DHCP doesn't work.
Same here :-(.
It finaly works on my mini with 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware.
On MiniCM-1.0.0-Alpha2, Froyo Cyanogen 6.1 port for the mini "Rom"
Dont forget skip WPA supplicant.
Regards
Devilo.
On X10 mini Barnacle works without skip wpa suplicant! After a few trys and som Observation I found the Problem. Every baconinginterval the adhoc Network have a other MAC. I try to set a fix BSSID in Barnacle but now i can't find the Network so i undo it.
After some Trys i found a workaround:
1. Start Barnacle
2. Press Associate
3. Try to connect with your Computer
4. After entering password, your Computer try to connect, press 1 time again Associate
My Settings are:
WEP Encyrpting: Enabled
Skip wpa_supplicant: Disabled
Auto Associate: Disabled
WAN: rmnet0
still not conneting
It's still not working on my x10mp 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware. My PC (Debian or Win7 have the same problem) still doesn't connect.
Barnacle on phone is showing no errors. PC is finding the wireless network but can't connect. Looks like it does not get an answer from phone (no IP address assigned).
I surely have tried all the advices from this forum and any google search gave me.
Same problem here guys - this was the reason for rooting my x10 mini

Kick for this thread, looking for a solution...
So I've got my Ray for a few months now, but ever since I have problems with the WIFI and GPS connections.
GPS:
I used to use Navigon on my Acer Liquid, but that app doesn't work anymore unless there's an active data connection and I don't have a data plan. Now I use CoPilot Live Premium 8.xxxx. App itself works well, but the GPS signal get's lost every few minutes and I have the feeling this is getting worse. Especially in cities it's posible I have to wait for like 15 minutes to have a signal and after that the signal gets lost every 2 minutes or so. Is this just due to a poor GPS receiver in the Ray or what?
WIFI:
I can connect to my router (WPA2-Personal AES) but only for 2 minutes. After that, the icon in the status bar shows that my Ray is still connected to the router, but there is no internet connection anymore, eg in the market pages keep on loading most of the times without saying the connection is lost or so and I have to turn off WIFI and turn it on again after a minute to have it working again for 2 minutes -_- If I do this a lot, it even kicks my computers of my network and I have to reboot my router
I hear there a quite a few problems with the WIFI in kernel related situations and it's often solved by using a custom ROM, but I would like to stay on stock ROM.
What could be causing this? The router, the WIFI security...? I didn't have the chance to test it on another router, maybe tomorrow.
Any help would be appreciated!
For the wifi, if you could test it on another network, we could know if the problem comes from your phone.
For the GPS, if your phone is rooted, I suggest you this application, with every Android phone I have I use it, and I have a some-seconds signal acquisition. It may fix your problem, but I don't understand its origin.

Thanks for the app tip, I will try it!
Try sygic for navigation. It's free and for now it worked with no problems for me.
I have some problems with wifi too. At home i can connect to the router freely, when using my laptop as router it shuts the laptop down, at friends it restarts his router it almost looks like Ray is to aggressive when connecting.
I looked into the problem again today and finally, I got it working.
The things I did:
1) Router firmware update (Dlink DIR-615)
2) Removed Ray's DHCP settings from the router and added them back manually so it never expires.
(Up till this point I still had the same issues.)
3) Changed the WIFI mode from N and G mixed to N only
=> PROBLEM FIXED

Hi, I have problem with Wifi too, but another one. Now, I have this custom rom - CM9 FXP 119 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285977
But wifi isnt working - I can see wifi to connect, but when I hit connect, nothing happens. I have this problem in many custm roms (Jj's, MIUI). I really dont know what to do.. I tried reflash rom, reflash kernel, but nothing helps. Please, help me
I have same problem with wifi. It's connect tot wifi network and in a few seconds iti disappear de wifi and unable to autentifications to wifi. I have RayOniumICS.v5 Rev1 rom and Aire kernel.
sup everybody.
firstly, i am a wireless expert (11+ years experience) so im not a nuubie to Wireless networks.
but i am new to Android and have just recently gotten an S3, so im hoping some body can help me.
i have an 802.11n wireless hop that connects my upstairs network to my downstairs network (internet router is downstairs)
upstairs i have an 802.11b/g access point for the older devices to connect to, this access point is connected to my 802.11n bridge
my laptop connects to the 802.11b/g network fine, and has internet connectivity (no issues)
when i first got the S3 last night, it was connecting fine as well, but since this morning, no matter what i do, the S3 connects to the access point, gets DHCP, i can ping the IP address, but it doesnt have net access, but if i connect to the 802.11n network it gets net access.
so for the life of me i cant figure out why.
so in a nutshell net access works from the laptop, but not the S3, same access point, and yes ive checked the WPA2 passkey, and the device is getting DHCP.
any suggestions.
like how to reset the IP address on the S3

Sounds like the default gateway route is not correctly received or activated. Do you have any computer/laptop with a promiscuous-capable Wifi card around that you might use with Wireshark? It should tell what exactly goes wrong.
Since you claim to be a Wifi expert I guess you won't need much help interpreting the result.

Try shutting off ur router.... Wait for a min or so then turn it bak on nd see what happens. I have an intellinet router which when the current goes off nd then on im able to connect to everythng except all google services (gmail, search, reader, syn, etc.) until i do the above. All my other devices connect fine in the meantime! Must be smthng with android....
- check the ip address.
- from device, ping its default gateway
- from device, ping external ip address that is known to response to ping
if all those works but you can't ping www.yahoo.com, it is resolver issue.
if all those including pinging yahoo works, and you still have no access, then the apps has issue or there is firewall.
2 S3 in a 3 days (Internet Isues)
Well, a seven days ago itake a Galaxy S3 from my carrier: Ancel (Uruguay).
IN the First day all fine,but in the night it can´t connect with 3g. In the other day the Wifi STOPs. TheS3 conect with the rooter but can´t navigate.
I change the rooter, resetthe phone (factory Reset) but the thinks not change.
I comeback to my carrierand Ancel take my old phone and give me a new S3 (1 day old).
For 2 days, it go well, butin the final of the second day, No wireless or 3g connect, the same again.
It´s a |Firmware problem, ahardware damage, what suppose I have to do ???
My computer is normal, myold N97 is fine, It has 3G signal and navigate on Wifi and 2G/3G, but my galaxyS3 no …
I ´m very confused with this situation ... Twophones in a 3 days …

press menu key and select wifi
Disable wifi powersaving mode
You may need to repeat this upon phone restarts but it may well sort out your problem

This technique works for me but only like a temporary solution. Restarting the home router also works for me but again is temporary. This issue I think is with most galaxy s3 devices. I own a galaxy tab 10.1 and it's there in it as well. huge pain to check each time, critical notifications are always missed. Have switched to bluetooth internet sharing from my laptop to avoid disruptions as I just can't trust the wireless.

None of both have commented on my suggestion to use Wireshark on another computer to see what's actually going on.
It's hard to guess the reason since by crystall ball is broken and it's nearly impossible to get magical artifacts in pristine conditions on ebay...
No Way.
But after reset the configurations, today in 3G mode al is fine.
In wifi it shows Conected in calennetwork, after this it show internet not avaliable via selected wlan ap. It can´t navigate.
In my router page , the received packets always change, for more data and the sent packets never change.
In the avanced configuration what is the Network prefix lenght ? In my XT860 and N97 i always select the channel of the router, but in the galaxy a don´t have this option.
But the strange, is that in the 2 galaxy s3 in the first day work im my router, and then after some hours it´s crash and not navigate...
Very bad Samsung.
I´m thincking in change my S3 for a S2 or Lumia.
I´m disapointed for it, because if i change the Firmware version i lost the warranty and i have bad feeling about this isues... Is a hardware fault or a software bug ???

You only lose warranty if you bring it to a store without original Rom. Just use the normal procedure (TriangleAway, Odin, Factoryreset) to get it back to stock and you're good to go. If your device has issues preventing it from booting (so you cannot re-flash original) they can't check the binary counter either :angel:
THancks for the help.
I will going to look for triangleway & Odin in the forum.
With my Motorola XT860 i made a lot of stuff: CWM, Custom Roms... but i dont´t know nothing about the S3.
Just some days reading here in XDA and a will going to know all that kind os Staff.
Sorry for the BAd English...
I'm having this issue. I think it has to be a firmware issue as I don't think I get it if I use CyanogenMod9 or 10 (but I could be wrong)
It really is very annoying and somewhat disappointing.
Hello Again!
I tested my S3 in others routers, and all the router that working without sharedkey (open network) my S3 can conect and acess the internet.
Test your phone with one and post for us here.
OBS: In my TP link TL-WR642G it can´t conect (with and without Shared key) but in the first day yes, i don´t understand it.
I will going to 3 school who has open Internet for all the childrens and this 3 schools my s3 conect and navigate in the Internet.

Anyone with this issue, please try the following:
- Take a Nandroid backup of your phone (on the internal SDcard, restoring from external seems to be broken)
- Flash CM9
- Try Wifi
If it works, please report. if it doesn't, restore the Nandroid backup and report =)
Since CM9 is not based on Samsung-software, that should answer the question about it being an issue in the newer Rom once and for all.
There seems to be a problem with BT homehub 3's and Xperia U's that when the U connects it is unable to do anything Internet related even though it's shown as connected and as soon as the U is connected all other devices connected lose wifi as it seems to put the router into limited connectivity mode. If you disconnect the U everything goes back to normal again...
So the question is -
Is there anything that can be edited in the build.prop or anywhere else to make the router see the phone differently and not cause the problem?
My S, connects fine. Its definitely the U that's the problem. And I've seen other people with the same problem too.
Thanks in advance!

Ditto. Its the only app that works at the moment. It keeps your wifi awake even when the screen is off. I've been using it for a couple of months now on my Sony Tablet S.
However, no app yet is able to remedy the weak signal and its difficulty in retaining wifi signal. A lot of bogus and placebo aps available in the playstore. Do share if you guys found any that may help our sony tablets.
I only have wifi issues with this new netgear wifi router we got at the office... wifi lock works great but doesn't force a connection and the app in the op works sometimes but not always.... I'm VERY disappointed in this tablet because of the wifi issues and got it when it was first released. I called sony support three or four times but those guys are truly a joke and are in denial that this tablet has wifi issues.
Interesting. I had replied to someone in another thread that I started seeing a similar issue on my Tablet S after update 5, but I missed these threads with lots of users seeing this. Mine never shuts down during use, but will randomly shutdown while asleep. I've not seen any correspondence between times it does it (sometimes midnight, sometimes 8am) or amount of time asleep or battery charge level. I'll try this app and see if it helps.

Hi guys,
Maybe some of you faced the same problem and can advise me something. I have a Linksys router and my Tablet S and my mothers X10i can connect to it only once, then it will be Connecting... Disconnected. And just shows available networks. Yeah, I know it might be a router problem, but how come my Xperia S, ThinkPad Tablet or any other PC or old Nokia and iPhone phones never had these issues? The workaround is to restart the router, it helps only once, after I will disconnect it will never connect again until next routers' restart.
Sony will never admit this issue. Ok, so what can I do? Different Wi-Fi drivers?
