Hi, I have a quick doubt about Wi-fi on the Xperia Neo (Mt15i)
First of All in my house we have a Wi-Fi zone Kind-of-thing with a lot of routers and Signal Amplifiers (all of them with the same SSID and Password For us to have wi-fi all over the place,
Now even If there's Nobody Home except Me (let's just say that the Bandwith it's completely for me), My Xperia Neo shows some Issues...
Using Stock Rom's (.42 , .62 .431 .587) with any compatible Kernels , Rooted Or Unrooted, I CANT connect to any of the routers except from the Source one (which is a big motorola Router , Really sexy one <3)
Using Custom Stock Based Rom's with Compatible Kernels (A.k.a, X-Gamer , King's ROM , ACID rom , JellySandwich (from 6.1 to 7.4) Ice Cream Pureness Build 13 ) Same Thing, Just connects to the Source One .
On FXP's CM7(130) with it's own kernel = Just to the Source one
On FXP's CM9.1(145) with kernel = Connects to all routers, but when I wander through the house it disconnects and reconnects according to the router I'm nearby
On FXP's CM10 (145) and PacRom V7 with their own kernels = Connects to all routers no Disconnection when changing routers, (just minor disconnections on PAC but less than in CM9.1 )
I just wanted to know WHY ._.
Also In my work I used to have Wi-Fi connection from my Bosse's router.
and then suddenly one random day it stopped working and It's the only connection I CAN'T use at all with my phone ):
(No, they Didn't block my Mac Adress...) and I'ts REALLY BORING to have to take my ipod touch 2g just for enyojing netflix in SD while My phone can play it on HD ):!
and as an Extra , I know that Having the Mt15i version Insted of the Mt15a , here In Peru it just gives me 2g(Edge) instead of 3g but appart from that sometimes When People try to call me (even when they're standing right next to me) sometimes my phone act's like it's turned off and I can't receive calls (and my carrier give me lost calls notifications) i just wanted to know if this is a hardware issue or is just my imagination ): ?
Anywaaays I'm saving for the Nexus 4 for next year...but in the meantime Any help is appreciated ):
Nobody can help me? ): ?
REALLY?
i have same problem with u :crying:

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
There seem to be a lot Xperia users (especially Arc) with my kind of WIFI problems. This thread was very helpful:

I don't have GPS problem as it connects within 1 min without AGPS support...
But i do face wifi problem especially when downloading larger files >100mb.. It constantly gets disconnected...
The wifi disconnection is genuinely present when i am downloading torrent files... It just kills the connection then connects again... I literally can't download any torrent files especially larger ones like movies etc...didn't have this issue when i had HTC sensation...

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.
Hi everyone! I am new to this forum. I have something to ask.
Currently I am having an Xperia Ray. Rooted. Boot loader unlocked. Running Ray Onium v7 GB with Aire Kernel v7. Everything runs perfectly without a glitch.
However when I update to ICS, both stock ROM or Cook ROM (Ray Onium v6 ICS, JJ ROM 2.5 and team Kang ROM), I find that my wifi is not useable.
I'm sitting about 1m away from the router, the signal is excellent but I can't browse the internet or go to the market.
I have tried both with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4. However when I connect to an open network, everything is fine. I'm using WPA2 encryption for my Linksys 54g router.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
What kernel did u use

Try to update from SEUS

I have the same ussue in neo v. Conects fine and fast but there is no internet. All ok on GB but any ics is making that prob. Tried every single rom out there with all kernels and wifi modules

I've tried with SEUS, no luck.
The point here is that it gets connected very fast, however there is no internet. On GB everything is perfect.
I have the same issue, everything perfectly on GB.

I've been having similar problems with my wifi since updating to ICS. My problems are a little different though. WPA2 network here, the phone can see the network fine and it connects quickly, I can browse and stuff just fine, but every so often the network just /disconnects/. Usually it'll reconnect a few seconds later, but sometimes I have to open the wifi settings screen before it'll reconnect, and sometimes it doesn't reconnect at all. When it doesn't reconnect at all, the settings screen says my network is either out of range (it picks it up the moment I hit Scan) or had an "authentication problem", and I have to manually connect to the network.
Kinda weird and very frustrating, because sometimes I'm connected for hours without a problem, and sometimes I'm getting disconnected every few minutes.
When SE released their alpha and beta ICS roms, the wifi either didn't see my home network, or it saw my home network but couldn't connect, instead just infinitely cycling through "Connecting, Disconnected, Not In Range, Connecting"
Same problem happens regardless of what kernel or ROM I use, it happens in CM9, AOKP and every other ICS ROM I've tried. :/
A similar problem it seems...
When I want to download an app via Google Play simply it doesn't start. I touch back button and try to download it again and voila! The same fast wireless..
But it simply does not start at first try. Not only Google Play downloads but also all other internet using applications do that strange behaviour.
WPA2 and 801n

I have two Rays at home... one on GB and one on ICS.... the ICS one has the same problems, I think switching your wifi router to WEP seems to help and so is changing to B from N.. but then you lose higher speeds and security... but that does seem to help. On the other hand the GB ray has no problems whatsoever....
Hope this helps someone figure out a solution

Your welcome. I just also flashed official Nordic 4.0.4 from here... And my router has something called " protected mode", that is says helps for that- if WiFi signals are too many around. Try installing WiFi analytics from google play... It's free-
use a free WiFi channel.
Turn on such protected mode if you can
I also activated something called "intellistream" that prioritizes streaming in WiFi.
So far, it's going well. This way I kept the 801n and WPA security.
Before this, I was sitting 7-8 steps away from the router and kept dropping connections.
Hope it helps.... No expert here.... Joined the forum for the same reason...
tomorrow after work ill test as much scenarios as possible. it cant be router related since i have the same issue with 7 different routers. 0 problems with GB, always the same issue on ICS.
connected solid and sound, no dropping in signal, but no internet flow whatsoever.. this is the only thing that keeps me on GB -.-
Any progress?
Yeah same problem with me.
There's something wrong with ICS Rom, that needs to be fixed
Replace file
Unzip and copy this file in /system/bin (replace with original). This should fix the wifi connection. You will need root for this.
So far, so good

Hey there....
It's been working fine for me now with the above changes and the 4.0.4 Nordic ftf that I flashed from here.... the 4.0.3 does seem to have WiFi problems, but not the 4.0.4.
Hope it helps....
i have since tired of not being able to use the major redeeming feature of this phone , which is the quality camera, so i decided to use a stock based ROM, hence FERALAB 20.
I really am not sure this a a fault of the ROM, given that i have noticed it on another previous ROM, but the thing is i cannot detect the WIFI signal from my WIMAX router using this ROM.
wifi works fine, and it does detect my neighbours WIFI networks, but i cannot seem to fathom why it does not detect mine.
like i said, i did notice this on another rom iv tried in the past, but when i changed to FXP 7.2 it worked just fine and detects my wifi network.
I would like to use a stock based ROM so im wondering if their is something i can do to help the situation.
precisely why does this ROM not see thuis particular WIFI signal, but does see others when the same phone running FXP does?
pls note that other devices, phones, laptops do connect to this router without any problem.
and i have noticed also that when i go into wifi settings on my phone, for hotspot settings it has just the options for WPA and Open modes, and no WEP option!
does that mean that the ROM cannot handle WEP connections? FXP works just fine
WEP hotspot is not available because it is a weak security. iPhone hotspots are WEP. android is always a step ahead of iPhone. So, android uses WPA hotspot. even a noob like me can crack a WEP password in 6 hours max if u wanna learn more, google for a software called aircrack. WPA is very very hard to hack. So, basically be happy that android is unhackable and iPhone is hackable.
---------------
if u are using WEP, i recommend changing to WPA or u will never know if your neighbour is stealing ur wifi. this should solve ur prob. and android cannot create WEP hotspot, but can join. i have no idea y u cant join WEP
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
I just got into ErfanROM (Stock 7.1) and it's really an awesom job. The ROM is really fluid.
However, since I installed it, not only this ROM but every other that I flash in my phone ends up getting WiFi connectivity issues.
Apparently, WiFi with WPA2 keys just can't find a way to authenticate. Can anyone lend me a hand?
PS.: All other devices connected to the network can still connect to wifi with no problems.
Thanks a lot
Any differences with open networks and/or with 5 GHz ones?
