if you put it little bit longer distance from WiFi ? What happen if you move little away, whether it is dropping to 0 or anything else?

if i put it a little bit further, it is dropping to 0 ( not in range )
i usually put it on my computer desk which is aprox. 50 cm from the router and it only gets one bar wifi signal.
when i first bought this phone, at my room get 3 to 4 ( full ) signal strength, now its not even in range.

It is kernel related problem, if it is not gaining signal in any of the kernel you are changing, then that should be a hardware problem. Give the phone to repair...

Hello all.
I've been having a strange thing in my XPS since I've updated (officially) to ICS.
Randomly the data connection simply stops working.
Basicly I've got full signal, the 3G signal is there, but the H stops showing and no connection at all. I never had this problem in GB...
The only solution is to reboot the phone. As soon as I do that is working again, till the next failure.
Any ideas what might be happening? And the web brwosing in ICS is so much slower... In GB is was almost instant, in ICS is... Awfull. Should I go back to GB? None of the new things in ICS really interest me.
There is some reports about this bug,you have to wait for an update or try another firmware.

Same here.
When I leave my home network in the morning I have to reboot my phone because data is not available until reboot.
If later connect to any wireless network the data traffic comes back like always before.
Same is with my home network. If the phone is connected to home network and I force data, it's always working, only the morning is problematic.
I'm using ICS 4.0.4

Same problem here.
It just randomly stop to communicate even if the 3G or H icon is there. A samsung guy told me it may be an incompatibility between the ICS kernel and the modem firmware. No issues while connected to any WIFI.
Fixed with a reboot. Never happened to me with GB.

same here (sony ICS rom). i talked to sony about one week ago regarding this issue. they told me that this comes from my sim card. i told them that i've never had such a problem with my SE C510 but they insist that the issue can only be solved with replacing the card... i do not believe this. i see the little arrow appears below the "H" and that means data is sent but not received. still turning off and on the phone once a week.
I am having this problem too on UK generic Android 4.04 build number 6.1A0.453
No fix yet?
How's possible Sony is not aware of this problem?

I would actually agree with what Sony say here, I was away for a few weeks and used a forign SIM card for that duration. Not once did the Data stop working, that included hopping between Wifi, H, 3G, E, etc.. So Maybe it is a SIM issue ? SInce I came back I also updated to the newest ICS release and haven't seen the issue yet.
I have the same problem and it's extremely annoying. I lose data connection after about couple of days. It doesn't make sense that this is a sim problem because GB was fine.
I have ICS 6.1.A.0.453.
Same here, I am sure its not the sim card, comm'on!!!
Did you ask to Customer service? They know jack****... lol

Are you seeing this happen in one place, or is it everywhere you go?
If it's in one place such as your home, could be that there is a network issue of some kind such as tower work going on.
Did this start as soon as you went to MokeeOS? I am on MokeeOS right now with no issues.

Well, I noticed this because i remember that when i'm going to sleep and playing with the phone it received always 3g, now it stays on E and sometimes in G, and sometimes on 3g (few seconds) .
BTW no, I was on neutrino 2.8 for like 2 months, and it always worked, now i noticed this like 3 days ago.
And wifi signal is the same. Mmm
Sometimes drop the signal ("X") and then retake it immediatly after.
try changing to the stock rom and see if that helps. if it doesn't then you should try to open up the phone and see if the antenna cable is loose or something

Now I know what's causing the random restart or freezes. It's my network connection. I posted 3 days ago I think, that I have a weird problem on my Xperia S. I troubleshoot, tested different roms, Stock, custom roms, GB or ICS, and what I noticed is that, when my network signal drops down (totally no bar), then immediately full bar, after 30 seconds - 2 minutes it reboots. I also did turn on the airplane mode, and yes it didn't restart. But I'm really confused because every time I'm using my phone for voice call (1-6 hours non stop voice calls), no random reboot! please help me understand guys.
By the way I'm using stock .58 right now, I relocked my bootloader and no root, but the random reboot is still there.
about same problem here,my mobile network disconnects for some seconds every about 5 minutes.the network I use at the moment is 2G.
I think we should wait for ICS!
could it be a hardware problem?? my phone fell from about 1 meter high, I'm a bit frightened :-s

Hello, I've installed some firmwares ([email protected] 7, Erachter v5, CM9.1 FXP141, CM10 FXP141 and other original firmware), and all of them had problem connecting to the operator. I'm from Brazil and I removed the device in the store talking and after I did the upgrade from 2.3.7 to 4.0.4 android by Sony itself (PC Companion), my phone could not get over the carrier signal. Do you know tell me which baseband I could install to test?
Hi, can someone help me?

Hi, thanks for the feedback. The chip is working because I left the carrier and was talking. When I got home and updated from Gingerbread to ICS through Sony, said no more ... could you tell me which file I could use to update the baseband?
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).

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...

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

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.
Hi,
Love the phone, but the wifi is so bad it is ridiculous. First of all, I always have to do *#0011# to disable wifi saver otherwise is it completely unusable.
But even then, it randomly disconnects. Seems this device is simply unable to deal with many APs or many networks. It is completely useless for VOIP because of this.
Is this going to plague this phone always? Meaning: is this something that can be fixed by custom roms and or kernels (I know samsung will prolly never fix)? Or is it simply the hardware that is badly designed and will always suffer from this?
FWIW this is not a universal problem. I usually flash a new custom ROM version about once a week to keep up with the latest ICS firmwares, and have never had any wi-fi connection issues. I'm often on 2 wi-fi networks throughout the day (one at home and one at work). I've never done the *#0011# trick or anything like that.

I do wonder if it is hardware related then...
My understanding was that this is very related to the routers. All my APs are running dd-wrt. Very annoying to see my iphone and ipad never having these issues whereas my daily driver (the s3) is pretty flaky. Maybe someday there will be a true fix!
No issues here either. Have a multi AP setup at home and work with upwards ten SSIDs at work. Mostly g/n networks. 2.4 and 5GHz works equally well. No problems anywhere, not even in town at cafes or my parents crappy Thomson all in one ADSL modem/router.
Using AOSP but Sammy original worked fine also during the first and only hour of use.

Dude, my s3 wifi adapter is very good. you should analyze your wifi AP and see who is sharing your channel frequency . Most people use same channel 6 by default. Channel 1 is the least used IMO and it's clean. If 1 and 6 are often used then use 11.

My main APs are on ch1 and ch11. Other networks are far away (no interference, and signal is pretty clear.)
To clarify: when I do the 0011 trick, my wifi is pretty stable, but disconnects from time to time making it too risky for me to get on a VOIP call for fear of disconnection. Speed is great though. And every once in a while, it will simply not switch correctly between my two networks (one in house, one in garage), it gets stuck on 'getting ip'. I then disable wifi and reenable, which fixes it. (thank god for WiFi Manager Premium's widget)
It is not unlivable, mind you, but it is pretty crazy annoying. Especially when ALL other wifi devices I have never have any issues.
Will try a full stock reset when JB comes out officially, that always seems to help in the many wifi threads I've read in the forums thus far.
this fixed my wifi problems when I was getting very slow speeds in the last few JB leaks

I will certainly give LH2 a try then. I had (wrongly) read that the post-LG8 updates didn't seem to change a whole lot.
I recently had all kinds of strange problems with my phone. Charging slowly.. wifi was terrible. The rom i was running made no difference.
In the end i was going to send it back as i thought i had faulty hardware. The day i was to get it sent off.. i thought what the heck.. ill try a .pit file to force a full repartition. And its only gone n worked!
Phone is back to running how it should.
I would be VERY careful flashing .pit files tho... is always a last resort.

Hi,
I had exactly the same problems with wifi like the OP! My S3 was always either not connecting nor finding networks. Sometimes it worked and then the phone was loosing wifi all few seconds... reconnecting. Using skype was not possible!
Above that, pressing power-off to send S3 to sleep was not responding everytime... sometimes the screen stayed on but touchscreen was not responsive. Then power-on again it was not responsive, too.
So a lot of problems with a device at this high price...
After nearly 2 weeks I've sent it back and got a new one. Now everything works perfectly!
Both devices were updated to newest update LG8.
If it is a software problem, there is maybe something going wrong while updating, otherwise I would say it's an hardware issue.
Good luck!
I don't know the topology of your home network or equipment. But routing with Nat, and two different network using the same private ip address range could cause issues. Again I have no idea what's up with your network. Are you running a essid or two different networks?

Doubt it, simple enough setup. One main, one wired AP (both on same SSID) and a repeater bridge for garage, diff SSID. No problems with the laptops, apple devices, etc.
Will test out every kind of wipe/flash... I fear exchanging it will be hard seeing as this is an unlocked international version bought in Canada online.
