Hey. guys. first off, i hope this is also the ray general forums.
now, my problem is that since i've started using custom roms and kernels the wifi is quite ****ty. i tested the range step by step and just after three feets and 3 of 4 bars of wifi strength, wifi just disconnects as if it is out of range !! is this a know problem ? is there a fix? i've used FXP, Pa, PAC and JellySandwich and all have the same results except for pac 15 and it's kernel and after updating to v16.1, it got screwed as well !!
HELP PLEASE !

Hey guys,
Just want to ask have anyone ever experience Sleep of Death(SOD) on your Ace?
SOD is that the phone goes into deep sleep or u can say it shuts down automatically when your screen is off for about 10 minutes...sometimes you must remount your battery only it will start up...its kinda annoying because you have to reboot 4 or 5 times a day!!!
I flashed my friend's stock rom from 2.3.4 xxkpn - 2.3.4 xxkph and rooted, deodexed, and have CodeRom v2x-2b flashed.
Everything goes nice and smooth...but the next day it goes SOD even so, i reflashed everything for 3 times but still things don't get solved.
But funny thing is i flashed my Ace with specification above everything is working superbly fine since the 1st day till now, but my friend's Ace goes SOD.
If there is anyone have experience on solving SOD don't mind sharing it??
because tried methods such as turning off wifi while screen is off and other methods posted on the internet but still won't work...thanks
yes, it's a common problem with SGA. for some people it happens everyday, for others it happens once a weak. you never know.
there are custom roms that dnt have this problem. right now i'm using GingerReal-2.0. it's very stable and fast.
oh...will try that ROM someday...but i'm still satisfied with my CodeRom
thanks bro.
SOD problem on SGA solved!!!
The cause of the 'SOD' is all because of the wifi when there is no connectivity or the phone is unable to connect. This has been tested for several times.
Just make sure to turn off the wifi when you are not in use and the 'SOD' problem will be solved.
The same for me
I'm also experiencing SODs with this smartphone. The Wi-Fi trick seems to help, but it is really unfriendly to the user. So, still waiting for a real fix.
There 2 other big threads wholly devoted to the problem:
- http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-ace/312084-randomly-turning-off.html

Hello.
My girlfriend recently got a Sony Xperia U.
There are a few crucial problems.
First of all, the speed whilst being on Wi-Fi is ridiculeously slow. Did a comparison speedtest with my Desire HD, next to each other side by side, and my HTC got (literally) 10 x faster download speed than the Xperia U. For some strange reason though, the upload speeds were comparable.
Anyways, the slow download speed (reached only maximum about 114kbps) results in poor web browsing, facebooking etc so it's really annoying.
Another problem is that the network signal of the Xperia U is very low to sometimes non-existant.
The phone has the stock rom and is not rooted. So it's running on version 6.0.B.3.184.
Who can help me ? Or do I need to return the phone in the shop right away ?
Do software repair using PC Companion or Sony Update Service (SUS)
if that doesnt help give it to service senter.
After trying out a few methods, it seems that going to Menu - Xperia - Download internet & MMS settings seems to have solved the problem, download speeds are now over 20mbit with the speedtest whereas it didn't even reach half a mbit before.
Will report later after some longer time of testing to see if the problem is permanently fixed.
Had the same issue when brought my wife's brand new U from the store two days ago, extremely slow WiFi compared to my SGS. Reflashed the 184 firmware using SEUS this morning and since then it appears to be working just fine. Fingers crossed still, though...
Just read on this forum that the ST25a version of the U may be getting the ICS update in the coming days, so chances are our version will follow shortly. So, if reflashing the current GB doesn't help I'd still suggest to wait and give the ICS a try before considering the service shop.

How can I know if it is a ST25a version ? Anyways the problem sometimes comes back that download speed @ Wi-Fi is very slow.. like it totally blocks/lags (or goes ridiculeously slow) and then peaks again @ max values..
Is there any source for the ICS update of this phone ?
The ST25a the American version whereas the “i" refers to international, I believe. In any case the ICS update has not been out for either of these two yet afaik. Concerning the Wi-Fi issue I really have no idea what's causing it and/or how to actually fix it completely, I haven't been able to replicate it as if it occurs then it does it randomly and I suppose rather rarely now (I didn't receive any complaints from my wife during the past days).

Too bad there is no real clue for this wifi problem.. thanks for your feedback anyways.
Trying this application now
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wifiboostereasyconnect&hl=nl
Will report later.
Not working -_-
Thanks for the update! I guess the best option for us now is to wait a few days until the ICS update is made available (hopefully) and then if flashing that doesn't help we'll really be left with the one last option of claiming our devices with the service shop...

I found solution for these in my xperia sola,
i just have disabled the auto sync feature and now my wifi speed is flying.
Hope this will solve your problem also.

Will test this now, thanks for the tip.
So far so good, made my other half happy lol.. Although I don't understand such workarounds are needed to have stable Wi-Fi.. Glad it can be solved like that though, hope the ICS update (if it comes..) will solve these kind of bugs (and I didn't even start ranting about PC Companion bugging ****loads, sometimes not finding the storage, having to remove app data @ mtpapp etc etc..).
Reminds me again why I got myself a Nexus.. Xperia, sense, touchwiz, it will simply never work flawless.
Regardless of all this though for 200 euro/dollars this is a solid-feeling phone with decent hardware specs, front face camera and actually the interface is very smooth. Can't have it all I guess.
Use v6 SuperCharger, & 3 G turbo charger, it will. VERY VERY fastest for u (our XU), I installed v6 supercharger RC8.1 LASTEST & 3G TURBO & KISSASS KERNELIZED Tweaks Scripts.
They can do for ur phone fastest.
wifi, ram, scroll smooth,3G,etc...
(now I will answer my exams at 17.9.2012) I will link for u how to do.
Now u use google search how to do with Upper Name Scripts. O.k
Sorry for my English bad

On another router the Wifi is great.. Kinda ridiculeous workaround but at least it works, well a least the last few hours we tested.
She been on facebook all the time lol and no lags or drops so far.
Can confirm now that the problem is 100% solved by having connected to another wireless network (stealing unprotected wifi from the neighbour lol ).
No idea why on our own wifi here at home her XU is having big problems with wifi whereas with my own phone it never ever has any problem..

I'm not sure if your solution(stealing the wifi from neighbour) is valid for every person who can read this.
I have another solution, in your router wifi settings you probably have mixed networks enabled, like g and n standard. So, try to switch to
the "g only".
I'm quite sure it will help, in one of prev posts there was autosync disabling , this was temporary solution for me, I also re installed the soft,
But as far as I'm testing , the solution with router is solid.
guys i rooted my phone using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2134257 rom. everything works great except that my phone takes a lot of time in acquiring network signal and the signal goes to zero suddenly. Is it a baseband issue? CAn someone please help me i m i dire need
Hi!
I have been using CM 10.1 (latest nightly available at the time of posting this thread). I have noticed that my phone gets 4 out of 5 bars when I am within 2 meters of the router and after moving about 3 to 4 meters away, range drops to 1 out of 5 bars and even disconnects sometimes. To be honest, I was on supernexus v5 before cm10.1 and on liquidsmooth v2.7 before supernexus v5. I have had the same problem on all three roms. I have tried resetting my connection settings through an app which requires root and that didnot solve the problem. I was on a stock rom before these AOSP roms and the range was significantly better. If you have a solution, please respond. Any replies/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi there friend,
If the problem is only the amount of signal bars then it's not a problem because the signal strength may vary between roms. If you're saying the problem occurs with other roms - have you tried to reset your router or with a different wifi network ?
Hi... I have trouble with my wifi since yesterday...
The problem is that the phone can connect to the network perfectly but it has a really low link speed, 5 mbps and the wifi signal strenght is pretty good. I don't understand why this is happening.. .
What I have notice is that when I turn the wifi on, at first when the wifi icon is grey the wifi link speed is at 65 mpbs which I think that it was were it always has been but immediately turns to 5 mpbs.
Another thing that happens is that if I let the wifi on, after sometime it gets kinda like stuck, the connection is lost and the icon is grey but I can't turn it off.
My phone is a samsung galaxy s II (I9100) running CM rom, 10.2-20131014-NIGHTLY
Any advice about how to fix this problem?

You should try using a different rom like slimsaber rom by Fusionjack or cyanogenmod sabermod by Markox89.
Thanks for the reply, gsstudios.
I have a question, isn't there a way to fix the problem without having to use another rom? I don't think that the problem lays in the rom that I'm using, because like I said before, the problem started yesterday and I have the phone for a couple of years now.

You could try a different kernel like dorimanx 9.44 v005. If that bootloops, try dorimanx 8.44 v004. Since your WiFi toggle freezes after sometime, it could be a problem with the ROM. It could be due to some kind of corruption of the WiFi component in the ROM or maybe there is some interference with your WiFi signal.
Hope this helps, gsstudios
I installed Kernel_Dorimanx-V8.43-[12-21]-[24-10]-JB-SGII-PWR-CORE from dorimanx site and it didn't help with the situation, still I get a link speed of 5 mbps. Now, after flashing the kernel I have a new problem: I don't have root access anymore.
What can I do?

You should be able to get root access if you update SuperSU (if it's installed).
I can't update anything or do much things with the low link speed of wifi that the phone has...

Can't you send the file through your computer? Here is the flashable zip: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?retrieve_file=1
Your problem with wifi seems very weird. Are you using 5ghz or 2.5ghz channel? If you've tried both, check if you wifi setting have changed on your router. And are you sure there is no interference that is potentially slowing down your signal?
Well, now things got worse, wifi directly won't turn on: not from the icon, not from the toggle bar. It's dead. I had the wifi on automatic so I don't know what band was on..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: I found a way to get the wifi working again. But still I got the same problems like before: low link speed and after sometime the wifi freeze and I have to reboot the phone to get it working again.
On a side note, I have downloaded an app a few days back called wifi status wich is a widget app that let you see the wifi link speed and I don't understand a thing: it shows 2 things: the wifi link speed, for example 5mbps and down that shows something liike: -63dBm
That thing dBm is something that always change numbers...
Any idea of what that is?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right now I have a link speed of 19mbps, a few minutes back was 26mbps... But it went back to 19 mbps... I don't know what is happening with the phone.
Help please, I don't know what to do...
