After upgrading to ICS 6.1.1.B.1.10 on my wife's new XPU had no issues except for the WIFI bug.
It refused to connect. So after a bit of trial and error here is the workaround I found and I am sharing just in case anyone else has the same issue.
1. Login to your WIFI router and change security to WEP with a shared key.
2. Set a key which is exactly 5 characters. a-z 0-9
3. Connect to wifi from your phone.
VIOLA!!! works. Its a major bug and sony should get this resolved soon.
But until then here is my simple workaround.
Switch router to b/g mode only (not n).
Use WPA2-PSK
--> Safer
Might as well not bother with security if you're using WEP.
Never had a single problem with my Xperia U and wifi on any firmware, using WPA2 and a 18 digit pass code.
I have never had wifi issues either, and my girl has an Xperia U too and same as me, perfect wi-fi.
Try to restart router if you can
My GF has the same problem, after the update to ICS (on the Xperia U) every time she tries to connect to WIFI it works for a few seconds and then it stops.
But that's not all, after that, nothing connects to the WIFI anymore, all active connections stop, the router sends data to LAN (wire) only,
I can't connect any device to the WIFI, I tried with my Galaxy S, Xperia S, even the laptop.
I have to restart the Router to have WiFi again.
Does anyone know a solution, except the dumb one to turn my router to b/g?
I have another router (old one WRT54GL) and it's not even working on this one. No connection, despite the fact that it's a b/g router.
Use Flashtool and put the .54 or c firmware on

so... i search for wifi conections and i find the desired network, i then enter the correct wep password and press conect - it trys to connect for about 5 seconds and the says "disconected"
i have tried using the static ip address method- doesnt work
i have tried hard reset - doesent work
i have updated to 2.1 (about 3 times)- doesnt work
so any ideas?
i will also add that sony erricson support claim that this is not possible
Have you tried another network? Or reboot your router?

works well on one other network (and used to on this network!) - and yes rebooted but still not worked!
If it works on another network, i dont think its something wrong with your phone.
Try a few other hotspots
If you are using WPA then switch to WPA2 on your router!
I had a simular problem after going to 2.1 both on my mini pro and the ex's lg gt540, not sure what caused it, but reseting the router to factory and re entering all my settings fixed it for some reason
Use wep

I'm having a similar problem with my wife's x10mini. She has it for the past 6 months and has always been able to connect to our home router. Since 2 days ago she has been unable to see the router in her wifi settings and so unable to connect to it. The strange thing is that she can still see all of our neighbors wifi routers, just not ours, that is just 1m away.... I tried manually adding it but it says that the router is out of range.
I have gone through all router settings I can access and the phone still cannot see the router. I've even left the router wide open, without any protection whatsoever and the phone still couldn't see the router, despite seeing all other routers around.
Please give me some ideas to try. I've also formatted the phone and re-installed everything to no avail. I'm getting a bit lost now.
Maybe this can help someone else, my problem was solved by changing the router channel from Auto to Channel 10.
Maybe the router started using a channel that the phone couldn't see/use.

Maybe an complete reinstall of the base system would help also try simply turning on and off your wireless and see if it works
I also experience almost all of these bugs but turnin on and off my wireless fixed my problems

Hello everyone,
I'm new android user! I'm delighted whit it on x10 mini pro. But I came across a few problems:
My first problem is with WiFi. I don't have wifi router, but I made my laptop to work as a virtual router for wifi, so other computers and mobile phones are free to join my network via WiFi.
However my X10mini is having hard time detecting my wifi network, and when it does it won't connect on it! It doesn't have that problem on real routers for wifi. (My second phone, Samsung jet, can connect to my wifi network without poblem). I have tried with "WiFi Finder" but the problem is same.
I should probably mention that bluetooth has the same problem. I can detect another phone but I can't make any transfer of data between the phones!
What should I do?
P.S. I bought the phone a few days ago and the android software version is 2.1
for the problem with bluethooth try to see in the option, there is one abuot visibility, check it
... sorry for english im italian XD

Hi androidx10
Your WiFi problem could depend on the wifi network, stock firmware cannot connect to "ad hoc" networks.
Try to install apps like "wifi buddy" from the market, it can help you to scan networks and identify ad-hoc links.
For the bluetooth usually there are no problems sending files but receiveng them.
Try to install from the market apps like "bluetooth file transfer" or "astro bluetooth" to exchange files with other devices.
Good luck and enjoy your X10
hello i just bought a sony ericsson xperia x10 mini pro (u20i firmware version: 2.1-update 1) last week and I can't use it because everytime I insert my sim and then surfing the internet it gives me extra charge even if I am connected to a wireless network. and when I check the remaining balance it's 0.00 data traffic is turned off. What should I do? I want to know what are the applications that gives me extra charge. Do I have to root my phone first to delete those applications? Please help me I dont know what to do.
Hi, I have connectify installed (bcz I've not router, only pci wifi card), but my phone reconnects every 30s-2 minutes. When I'm playing online or downloading, it's really annoying. It's doing on every rom, but when I installed CM7 I was able to connect to adhoc and it has never reconnected. Now I've installed CM9, which still hasn't adhoc support, so I'm wondering, how it's possible, thah Acces Point reconnects and adhoc no. Any solution (or adhoc solution for CM9 )?
fuc k yeah!! i have this problem too after i flash .42 from .62 fw using flashtool.
when i try to download gameloft games files which is often 100mb+ my wifi disconnects and reconnects itself which is annoying.
so can anyone fix this? although when i first bought my mini pro which is .42 originally installed doesnt have this problem.
My problem must be somwhere in that wifi card or PC, because other wifi networks don't reconnect. So now It's all about adhoc for CM9 (4.0.3).
Try an experiment. Install Virtual router, is free of charge, see if it continues to disconnect. If it happens just as likely the wi-fi card is to blame.
So it's the same with Virtual Router. But why is adhoc working great and AP not?
Phone Info:
WT19i
Stock Rom
X Kernel
Android 2.3.4
Build Number 4.0.2.A.0.58
Router Info:
Linksys (WRT54G) v7.00.1
Problem:
Whenever my Phone connects to my Router, My router constantly resets. I can't use Wifi Properly.
More Information:
- Whenever my Phone connects to other Router it works perfectly.
- Other devices such as my laptop and my sister's iphone does not make my Router reset. Router works perfectly when my Phone isn't connected.
- Whenever I use the app Wifi Analyzer it almost works smoothly. But whenever I close it, it goes back on resetting my Router.
I am having this issue for almost a month please help!
Million thanks to those who would try and help me!
There's something wrong with router, however I cannot help from this side without having the possibility to look in Router settings.
Sounds like a router issue, might want to try updating your router firmware first.
Hi i went from stock ics on my ray to cm9 by followingnexact step by step guide provided by cm9. Used their kernel as well. Have never modded my phone before. Having a small problem with wifi though. After my phone has been asleep for a while, if i wake it up the wifi icon in status bar is no longer blue its a dark grey and i can no longer browse anything or use the internet. Ive tried rebooting. I did the whole wipe cache etc when installing cm9. In wifi settings in advanced ive also left the setting to "leave wifi on when sleep" checked. If i turn off and on the wifi connection the phone ofcourse is able to reconnect again the icon is blue and i can connect. It not jsut a one off thing its been happening since i isntalled the rom.
If i wakek from sleep a few minutes later i have no issue with wifi. Its only when its been sleep for a while do i have this issue.
Any solutions?
I have the exact same problem but for me it's even bigger, whenever i turn on wifi on my modem, i can connect to internet on my phone, but after awhile i lose my connection completely, on my phone and on my pc also, the only way to get it back is to reset my router and wait for like 5-10minutes...

If its also an issue with your. Pc then your issue might be also the router.
My other devices actually work fine in my case its oky this phone that has issues. Macbook iphone ipad nexus s no problems with those.
Same issue here. I can see available networks but unable to connect. There should be no problem with the wifi router as all my other devices work well and I have tried another router. Now I have to flash back to stock firmware.

Your issue seems more severe than mine. Mine actually connects and works, just that when it wakes from long sleep it wont work until i turn off and on wifi.
I get this problem too, but my problem even worse than yours. My wifi lose it's connection after a while, but the icon on status bar shows it's connected, running ping test, browse, even play store can't be accessed. I pinged the router and got unreachable.
And yeah, this problem occurs when I'm using all ICS based rom..
Anybody has any idea if this is a known problem, or if its just us few having thisissue?

I have same problem. I have SE xperia mini with CM9. WiFi worked fine until yesterday. Now phone can't connect to AP (full signal - try connect -> signal drops down), but sharing 3G internet over WiFi works fine. I cleared dalvik cache, but that didn't help.
