Xperia acro S
my device has a very weak wifi connection. (Actually router settings)
Even im just next to the router, the connection stops frequently.
The wifi remains connected but transfer of data is not stable.
e.g: in play store, download stops and continue after a long time. (wifi connected)
Im using the latest firmware. This issue happens before and after rooting.
Anyone of u experience the same?
SOLVED
This settings are essential for xperia 2011/2012 models.

I don't really know mate. My connection with the Acro S has been butterfly smooth (both 3G and wifi). Maybe you should check your router setting?
I find it odd you're having wifi strength issues as well. I feel like the wifi antenna is better on my Acro S than my Galaxy S2.

Hmm, it won't be my router issue, my ipad, x8 and PC connects without issue.
I think something wrong in wifi hardware.
I always get "connection timed out" in play store, and spamming the install>cancel>install>cancel but no help.
The only thing is once I pressed install, i return to homescreen and wait the app to download itself background...
Have to claim warranty then. :good: LOL
LOL, went to sony centre, but the wifi problem gone.
So i have to do something to my router.

Im not sure. I read sony forum, there's several tips regarding b/g/n and channel
authentication is not mentioned there.
There's tons of ppl complaining this in sony forum.
I think there's a lot users out there facing this, but none posted in xda.
The wifi antenna of Sony is more "picky" than the average phone antenna. So it will very likely to refuse connecting to bad signal all the time.

Maybe, that means no solution?
I changed wifi bandwidth to 20 instead of 20/40, it improved a little, but still dropouts occasionally.

Hi guys! I have had the fascinate for quite awhile and never knew it was wifi "N" capable. My phone syncs fine with wifi G, but how do you connect to N? When I go to the wifi options it just sees my "G" network. Before you say have you check to see if the "N" network is being broad casted it already is. My xbox 360 and laptop are sync to the N wifi network. I would assume someone has figured this out because the specs shows wifi 802.11 b/g/n networks. Thanks dudes.
I only run an N network and mine connects no problem didn't do anything fancy. I am using wpa2 instead of wep don't believe that would make a difference since usually anything that will do wpa2 will do wep lol. double check make sure you N network is broad casting at 2.4Mhz range and not 5Mhz. since you say you have both I'm just assuming you have a dual band router and that might the problem. again just assuming there, but the fascinate will not pick up the 5Mhz range

Here is my current wifi settings. I tried disabling just the "G" network and leaving the "N" on. When I rescanned for wifi networks from my fascinate it didn't detect the "N" wifi. Is there a setting some where I'm missing on the phone or in my settings?

Nevermind I think I answered my own question with your previous answer lol. I have the g and n wifi named as "b33zuG" and that's how it shows on my phone. My screenshot for 2.4 shows as b/g/n. But if this is the case how do I know it's the true N network and not G since there both in the same 2.4 bracket?
if is in the 300mbs mode then it's broadcasting the N network because G only maxes out at 54mbs.
SC2.8 WP7 Revolution
also I have the high end 300-300 netgear router and if I enable the 5mhz n-network it won't let me run N on the 2.4 st the same time only lets me either do G 2.4 N 5 our just N on 2.4 so maybe when you have both on your only getting the G?
SC2.8 WP7 Revolution
Yea, I have a dual band router at home and the phone's wifi scan only detects the G.
I have different SSIDs set up and my N network isnt listed...
I'm gonna put it in manually when i get home tonight and see if it does anything but I'm interested if anyone has a solid answer for this
Our phones wont do N in the 5Ghz spectrum, only 2.4Ghz.
I've connected to N at work and it drains my battery faster than anything else that I do to my phone. I am curious if anyone else had experienced this. G is great for battery life

Bluetooth Frustration: Nexus 7 says "use Razr for Internet" but Razr says same
I'm having trouble with connecting my Nexus 7 to my Razr Maxx over bluetooth. My goal is to share/tether my phone's internet connection over bluetooth. They connect reliably, but they don't share internet anymore (they did for several weeks). Not sure if it's related, but... both devices show that they are using the other device for internet access. It's as though they both think that they're tethered off of the other.

Uncheck the use for internet box on your RAZR.

I've tried that. It won't un-check.
If this were a Windows PC, I'd look for corruption in the Registry. As this is Android, I'm not sure where to look beyond the bluetooth menu itself, but clearly there's a setting or file somewhere that's corrupted.
Now what?
Why not use wifi instead of Bluetooth?
Odd that setting will not uncheck.

Wi-Fi works and I use it until I can get BT working again, but the great advantage of BT (when it works) is that BT uses so little battery that you can leave BT tethering running all the time without noticing any adverse impact on battery life. Granted BT is slower than WiFi, but for everything except full res streaming video, it's fast enough for me.

On your Razr, make sure you have "Bluetooth tethering" checked under "Settings >>Tethering & mobile hotspot".
I had the same problem last week and somehow that setting had got unset.

The bluetooth tethering box was indeed un-checked. Checking it didn't immediately solve my problem. However, checking the box and renaming my phone's BT identity (in the hope that the N7 would see the phone as a new/different device and create a new/different BT profile for it) and then pairing to the new name appears to have worked. Of course, it was never going to work without the bluetooth tethering box checked and so I am very thankful for your suggestion. I might never have remembered to look at at that on my own. I think I had two problems. The bluetooth tethering box being un-checked and a corrupted profile.
The weird thing? Both devices still show that they are using the other for internet access. Go figure. Anyone else using bluetooth tethering, is that how it is on your devices?

R3dbeaver,
As you asking if battery life is the same using BT to tether intead of wifi? If you are, then the answer is no, battery life is much better when you use BT to tether.
Hi all. I have a new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV s-edition 2017, who got app control through wifi spot from car. However, the wifi range is horrible, so I was wondering if you guys know of any phone that can be connected to both wifi net (without internet) and same time connected to internet through cellular data (3g or 4g)
What I want:
Have a phone in car, connected to the cars wifi net (no internet) and through perhaps an app like airdroid, connect to that phone, and that way connect to the car through internet.
I have tried this with honor 7, but this so called smart phone, either is on wifi with no internet, or cellular data with internet. It will not work on both nets at same time.
Is the any android phone this would work on, or is there any workaround/hack to make this work. Surely, this has to be possible?
-Thanx, Ray

If your android running on marshmallow then there is a option in developer setting of cellular data always active. Turn that feature on and connect to mobile data and wifi simultaneously.
Ashwinirg answered the question, but I want to throw in that there are services, like Speedify, which claim some sort of "channel bonding" that merge your WiFi with your data connection to enhance your speed. I have no idea if Speedify or similar services actually work, but if you're interesting in enabling wifi + cellular data together, you might want to look into those services also.

Don't know if it is available in android nougat but it may be it available on marshmallow then it also available in Nougat..
Update:
So I bought myself a Lenovo p2, cause of its bigger battery, but it seems like it's not able to go between cellular data and wifi seamlessly like honor 7 did. It got the same options in developer mode, but it's not working.

Certain apps work if set right. It's kind of like downloading a torrent. Multiple connections work together to transfer the same file resulting in much faster speeds.
hi i just got my redmagic 7 today i had 6pro before but on my redmagic 7 i cant find 5ghz wifi in wifi settings but it works perfectly fine on my redmagic 6 pro any idea? whats the problem i tried to reset didnt help
Argh mate.. I literally got mine in the post this morning, fired it up, start going through the usual android initial setup, asks to connect to wifi, there is my 5Ghz connection, I connect to it, boom, all good.
Then it tells me there is an update right away, straight after connecting to 5Ghz wifi, so of course I accept. It downloads, installs, tells me to reboot. I do.
Phone reboots, wifi no longer connected, asks me to connect to wifi. I search for my 5Ghz wifi, nada.zip.gone.
Oh, my 2.4Ghz connection is showing, just no more my 5Ghz...
So yeah, it's definitely the software update that has knocked 5Ghz wifi off for no apparent reason that I can fathom. Rather frustrating to say the least.
The update the phone updated to is: NX679J_EUCommon_V4.11

You need to either enable or disable 20/40hz coexist in your router. This is a normal thing for cheap wifi modules. My PS Vita and Xbox One are the same way. Wifi doesn't work at all if that is enabled or disabled. Can't remember which one it was. Haven't used those for years lol.
But it has something to do with 20hz and 40hz coexisting that makes 5Ghz not come up for some devices. It also limits your speed to 286mbps.
This will be fixed in software cause it's likely just a bug when they were optimizing better wifi stability but ended up dropping a portion of how 5Ghz works lol

Hello, since the first day I have a problem with the wifi of my s23 ultra. When I move from one room to another and receive the wifi signal from a different antenna, the mobile wifi is not working. There is a symbol next to the wifi icon and I have to close and reopen the wifi connection to make it work properly. These latest updates have not been able to fix this. I have done a lot of research and there are reports of problems with wifi6, but this is not my case. All the "tricks" to fix the wifi that I have read, have not helped. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

What kind of routers or access point are you using home and at work? If you don't know maybe there is a chance that you have same router/AP at work? If that's the case it's likely router/AP fault
I don't know what else to do or try. I just know that with previous Samsung phones I have never had that happen. I want to believe that it is something that will be solved with a future update, because if not, it seems very bad that such an expensive phone has such an annoying failure.

Your AP/router is more like a failure. No issues on any router for me(tried at least 10. Bunch of cisco AP, xiaomi, tp link. Recently bought xiaomi ax6000 wifi 6e. 0 problems). Try to play around with settings. Check router/ap firewall it could be blocking connection for some reason.
Is that on your network/router or some wifi hotspot?
maybe there is some ip conflict, try setting ip you router from scratch, so reset everything and connect it first just to your device thats having the problem
