I've just found a fix for annoying wifi drops in 587 firmware. Just flash (or move with the correct permissions all files from the archive,like i did) "Stock WiFi modules" from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708532 (these are the modules from 431fw,where wifi worked flawless) and you get rid of any problems with wifi. (I've used it,and in two hours i didn'had any drop).Please report back if it works.
Edit: ater two of using i can say that partially it resolved the problem,but it still have one-two drops/day (compared to .587 modules where i was having 2-3 drops every half hour).
I'm in .431 only for this reason, the Wifi is super and very stable, never a drop out.
The 587 is a smoother firmware but wifi is unusable so I'm curious if your solution work really for everyone.
I don't know for example if everything about wifi is located only in lib-modules, or there is something else in kernel or in other place, so wait for more test
thanks for sharing
any news on this really working i hate my wifi
Take "pimp my rom" from google play and easy modify wi-fi scan timing. Max time will give you minimum drain and minimum wifi stability, min time the opposite. Find your best value.
It is not a matter of modules, according to me, but of parameters, which could be good for many people, but not for all.

AW: Fix WIFi drops issue in 587 fw
Pimp my rom did not work in my case. On the other side, on .587 stock modules did the trick. It has been few days connection is going on 24/7 without a single drop!
I flashed Alliance 1.5 for cwm, then after flashing zip got back to stock .587 kernel.
Please, if someone knows if I can use modules in some CM based ROMs let me know. Or if there are some others I should try. And one more thing: on CM7 with Nightelf kernel and stock Gingerbread connection also never drops, it occurs only on ICS/JB ROMs.
Thanks in advance.

So, in .587 did you use only stock wifi modules from .431 ?
Then, I can't understand why this thread is not much frequented, maybe people like wifi drops
I think the OP did a good work sharing his fix, but actually nobody like it.

The problem is that the peoples are too lazy to search on forum,and it's easier to ask "it works?" instead of trying.
It works perfect on UHD 2.0.3!!

Yes, I flashed Alliance only to flash zips and root phone then reverted to stock .587 kernel and installed cwm. Works great.
But, if there would be someone to make or port these wifi modules for AOSP ROMs that would be awesome.

Where do you read they are wi-fi modules from .431 fw? Beacuse suave v6 kernel is based on .587 rom. Just to know, there are many manifestation of placebo effect on battery calibration, too.
Those are wi-fi stock modules for ones who have flashed alliance kernel wi-fi modules in the past, without reinstalling stock rom. If in the past you flashed modules for alliance kernel, then you will not be able to enable wi-fi after flashing a stock kernel (or suave which is stock based). This is the matter of that flashable.zip
With latest roms (u.h.d and revolution hd) I do not suffer wifi drops anymore. Anyway you should try a custom kernel with custom wi-fi modules (like alliance or lupus) if you think it can be improved.
But if you want to trust placebo effect, it is simple:
-download that flashable.zp
-write down all the files inside and their path
-flash stock firmware .431
-find the files matching the ones on the flashable.zip and change them into the flashable.zip
Then you should have a flashable.zip with the real .431 stock wi-fi modules, so do what you want!

I've compared the modules with the ones from 587 and from 431, and they're exactly the same like in 431.
I don't like to use custom roms, because i've optimized the stock rom for my needs. About custom kernels, yes, many of them have custom WiFi modules and are better, but they're overheating the phone very fast.
Don't tell me that is placebo effect when before i was having WiFi drops every 5 minutes, and now i have 1-2 drops/day.

Do custom kernels make phone overheating? I don't think so, OC makes phone overheating.
So if you compared .431 and .587 wifi modules of those rom version, which are the difference between them to make .587 ones instable according to you?
Sent from my MT15i using xda app-developers app
I don't use OC, because i don't use the phone for games and i always keep the phone on "ondemand" governor, no matter what kernel i'm using.Instead i stream movies in browser, and with any kernel i use, after 10 minutes of streaming, the phone temperature is already 40-42 degrees, meanwhile,with stock 587 kernel, after 1 hour, it barely reaching 35 degrees. I don't know which is the difference between 431 and 587 modules, because i'm not a dev nor a phone geek, but after trying every single app in the Play Store to make WiFi stable, changing modules is the only way that really worked. PS: I'm using the nordic ftf, so maybe it's a problem only with this version of firmware,i didn't tried others.
Sent from my LT25i using xda premium
I'm trying to understand the matter.
So you are saying that:
-you don't know exactly if those modules from suave thread are from .431 stock rom or .587 stock rom.
-according to you those modules are different from the ones you call from .587 stock rom because you get fewer drops in a day and because your phone reach higher temperature during internet streaming.
Right?
If you stay next to your wi-fi access point you still get drops during the day?
The Wifi drops in .587 without doubts, I made some tests time ago with the same and very good router and with .587 you could observe the wifi icon go away suddendly every 10-15 minutes even if the phone was near the router.
A way to prove the instability of wifi in 587 is trying to download a gameloft game, you can't do so ! The download will interrupt every 50 Mb and you are forced to press "retry" anytime.
Then I did the same test with firmware .431 and I didn't experienced any drops ... same router, same apps installed, some mods, same phone
So, something let wifi to drop in .587 and this is not router or user releted for sure; I don't know if only the modules from 431 can do the trick, but if you want to try i will post later modules from my 431 nordic firmware.
R: Fix WIFi drops issue in 587 fw
Ok, the OP of suave kernel v6 tell me officially that those modules are from .431 stock fw rom. I wanted to be sure this was true and not based only on better experience.
So now you should make 2 trial to find best solution at all:
-.431 rom modules and .431 kernel
-.431 rom modules and .587 kernel
Then I think the rest of the rom should not make any difference
I will suggest madfysh to highlight this thread.

1. Wrong,i didn't said that i don't know if the modules are from 587 or from 431,i said that are exactly the same modules like in 431 firmware.
2. I didn't said that the modules have something to do with phone temperature,i don't know where did you read that.
No matter if the phone is 5 cm far from the router or if i'm in another room,i have the same drops,with 587.
R: Fix WIFi drops issue in 587 fw
The point was that there were no proof that they were .431 rom modules and you said that you did not know the difference between .431 and .587, but you knew only the different effect between them. This can not be a rational way to go, especially if you say something like custom kernels make somehow overheating on the phone. And this is what you can extract from your replies above. Probably this is why this thread has not be taken into account by many users.
For the next time you had better to state what you are sure and why (known sources proofs), then what you are saying and why. Just a suggestion if you want.
Anyway I reported this thread to GhostfreakNB, he said that when he has some time he would put this into main MOD and TWEAKS thread so it can be more visible.
Bye
PS.: if you can, edit first post. Point out first that wifi modules from .431 stock rom can solve wifi drops. Just after put the link and say that its OP has stated that they are exactly what they are (also if it is not said in its thread). It can be useful.

Hello guys! I'm having a strange issue with all ICS and JB roms (stock or custom, doesn't matter, same problem):
- I can browse, and while I'm browsing with the default browser, the wifi works really well.
Let me show and example:
If I open an app like TuneIn Radio, I can only hear the station while I'm opening pages in the browser. If I just stop browsing, the connections seems to be lost. The same with Google Play, as long I'm browsing, it works like a charm and the downloads complete. Otherwise, the downloads get stuck.
I've never seem this kind of problem before, and other devices and the same device with GB roms works well.
Someone can help?
Thank you!

Try flashing another kernel via FastBoot. I strongly suggest MESA Hybrid v3.5 or LuPus v3.
New kernel always comes with a fixes..i agreed with Ctragas...and click thanks

I've already tried Lupus and had same problem, unfortunatelly.. I will try flashing the MESA Kernel by the end of the day and see if it will solve the issue.
Many thanks!

Don't forget to flash WiFi modules (ti-wlan_v3.zip) via CWM after flashing LuPus kernel. With MESA Hybrid v3.5 you don't have to do that because WiFi module is integrated in the kernel, but you have to flash the appropriate module according to ROM type (ICS->stock, CM9, CM10).

exact the same problem ,on GB it was well but after trying ICS and JB with many kernels i got unstable connection always connecting and disconnecting i asked 2 days ago in this forum about this problem but got no useful answer i hope that we can solve this
@mizoo
Is this it? Connecting-authenticating then loop?
If yes u can solve it by using static ip address instead of dhcp
Yes i already set it as static its better but also disconnecting after while

Hi all, my phone is a Xperia Mini st15i and I installed CyanogenMod 9.1 stable, I decided to try the lupus kernel and it works fine , the problem is that the WiFi does not work , I tried to flash a zip containing the modules to work the kernel and wifi with anything. And so asked if a solution to the wifi working again.
Greetings to all!

It seems to be a kernel problem because even other people are having this same problem as you can see in the thread. So, you can either use the kernel within the zip or try using Mesa kernel.

You have reflashed stock one (generic firmware from sony) and the problem still persist ?? Seem strange because wlan problem usually found on custom rom / kernel ,

Hi All,
I am new in this custom ROM field,I just installed Turbo Kernal with Cynogen Mod 10 in my Xperia neo L.
After reviewing the Device i found that my "WIFI Hotspot" is not working.
I Also tried "Lupus kernal" and pacmac ROM.
As it was working with stock Rom so it proves that my hardware is ok.
When i try to start my hotspot it stuck at " Wifi turning on..."
Please help.
