Hello everyone, i've flashed yesterday the SK17i ICS Stock Firmware Build 4.1.b.0.587, the overall performance is good for myself, however it may seem that WiFi has some 'Weird' issues
It work's i can navigate via WiFi with my Xperia via Wifi on a TP-LINK router and lots of hotspots, actually an TL-WR841N (Wireless B,G,N) that is a kickass router overall for home applications, but since i've flashed to ICS, has a WEIRD behavior that suddenly disconnects, drops and catches WiFi again, sometimes is very fast, but other times takes like 5 seconds OR MORE...
How do i know is an ICS issue?? Well didn't happened at all with GB, and other devices on my home seems to work pretty well (Motorola ATRIX, Milestone II, RAZR i, laptops and blabla...)
Hope someone has tracking or solution under this issue.
And thanks a lot for the community in advice!:good:
Rooted? Unlockd?
Went back to stock, or just upgraded?

Hello,
i'm having a lot of connection problems with my mini pro.
My wifi signal is worse than when I use my HTC Desire.
And it's almost impossible to get a connection to 3G (or EDGE).
The software build is .335, but can't upgrade to the newer version. Get message that no update is available. Are these issues that are fixed in the newest build?
Or is the antenna of the Mini Pro just really bad?
Grtz
hi there..
my build is 4.0.A.2.368
and wifi works perfectly.
AFAIK there are no issues about bad wifi in SK17i
Wifi works, but the signal is just worse than with my Desire...
And Mobile Internet connection is just extremely bad, can't seem to stay connected for more then a couple of seconds...
mine is not worse than my asus seashell netbook concerning the signal ..strange
Have you rooted your device/run a custom ROM?
Or maybe it is fixed in the newest build...?
unlocked, rooted, current fw, kernel by doomlord.
Unfortunatley I did this immediately when I bought the device. I cannot compare it to original stock phones ..
Thanks,
I'm considering rooting/unlocking myself, still got some reading to do first though.
Grtz!
there are really good instructions in here.. much success!
Hi all,
I noticed wifi connectivity issue on new ICS ROM. I tried both ICS official and custom ROM. Both are having same issue. For wifi It seems GB is better than ICS !!!
Issues:
- when i download something, sometime connection dropped and reconnect in a second.
- when i open a pages on browser, get delay to load a normal page. It seems mobile network is better than wifi
Did anyone feel the same, please share your commend here.
Also a thread i found on sony forum, replicate the same issue!!!
Yes even i am having the same issue...

I cross check the router with GB Neo v mobile, working great !, Also i am using wifi at office, working with ICS same result (Office router can be connect over 1000 in a time).
However is a GB problem too
Finally is emerging the bad wifi module we have on 2011 Sony, and is not ICS the cause, but probably it shows better the lack of wifi.
Keep in mind that the issue is hardware, this chip can't guarantee a stable connection and a stable reception of the beacons.
See the immense discussion on sony support forum about "xperia keep dropping wifi connection".
There is nothing to do, bad hardware and stop.
Who didn't experience the problem with GB was only lucky, try to change the router or download a ubunto distro and see like it drops.
Agreed

I used both custom and official rom, same problem !!!
Here is thread with same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599459
and as you can see problems got solved with replacing router.
There are 2 problems in ICS with WiFi.
1) people can't connect AT ALL to their routers, which worked on GB,
2) dropout issues.
So many of you who have those problems, by this time you could create list of routers which have that problem, and see if there is pattern.
Or wait some dev who have that problem to fix it, as it's hard to create something if you don't experience that problem.

Bump, same thing. Was fine with the stock gingerbread and seemed fine with ICS 4.0.3 (though many people have been reporting problems)
After updating via kies to 4.0.4 yesterday my wifi is nulled.
Wifi analyzer is reporting great signal strength but it hardly loads any pages/apps and cuts out in under 40 secs.
*Want to downgrade back to 4.0.3*
Edit: I have a Virgin Superhub if thats a common denominator with you guys

In my case, this problem persists on every wifi access point I connect to: work, home, train, supermarket... this is not related to router/hub brand.

I haven't tested mine on any other network so i assume its not functional anywhere,
I don't have the first clue about how to downgrade it back to 4.0.3 though I would love for that to be an option in Kies, 'flash previous Rom'
It might be, as I say I haven't looked into it yet, give it another week with no Wifi and I'm sure it'll be bugging me though. This could be a blessing in disguise, I might end up with a bloatware free cooked rom, yey!

Try another kernel.
Ok I went to the official firmware section : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
Downloaded android I9100XWLPT (4.0.4) [the same version which was already installed]
Reflashed with odin (make sure kies is closed or it won't work) now my Wi-fi is working perfectly with 4.0.4.
weird.
Hey all,
I recently bought an Xperia Go and updated it to the latest FW
and now a couple of bugs present themselves.
the goal of this thread is to list them and/or list solutions
* laggy launcher
* a lot of widgets aren't supported or simply don't work
* no notification bar settings at all
* Wifi issue's ( more Xperia phones have this, reported to have something to do with the Wpa_supplicant )
(all my keyboard issues where solved by installing JB keyboard)
For the people who still have problems with the laggyness of the phone:
try Munjeni's Kernel and Pimp My Rom (use the different android_upgrade package and only the volume buttons NOT the screen! )
An update from sony has been reported
Proof
hopefully this wil resolve some issues
to be continued
My bugs:
* WalkMate doesn't count steps or count it incorrectly; allways below 50 steps (even when Extended battery is off)
* Camera viewer quality is bad on 5 mpx resolution (when I take pictures they are excellent)

Try different settings on your router, i found out that ICS and WPA2 don't work very well together...

That's not acceptable, seeing that WPA2 is a widely-used standard in academic and commercial environments for WiFi encryption.
Hi.
I have tried ICS official stock from Sony Update Service, yesterday.
1. Laggy
2. Drain my battery, 20 - 40% faster that it did in GB
3. Bad performance, laggy and more laggy.
4. My Xperia Active with ICS are much more faster and smoother.
Back to GB, everything run perfectly

Well tell that to developpers of the routers firmware, it depends on the router mostly and not the phones

Hi.
Try to reinstall ICS ROM again via Sony Update Service.
Since you had GB before and didn't had any problems with your WiFi at home, and now you have problem with ICS, i believe this is a ICS problem.
If this was a router problem, you should experience the same with your GB ROM.
I did try ICS for couple of days ago, and i didn't had any problem with the WiFi here at home, but ICS was so laggy and had bad performance. I went back to my stock GB again.
I don't understand why some people have laggy device and other not. I thought it was the same phone (Xperia GO).
Well you have to try ICS a couple of days ( the first days the phone is 'learning' your behavior)
and after a while it gets less lags
and for the WiFi problems, i can connect to some routers but not to others,
so i think it's a router issue more then an ICS issue although i can't remember if i had it with GB...
Btw is someone else experiencing problems with low battery:
when my battery gets less than 15% my phone gets very slow (opening apps/switching to launcher)
even rebooting is almost impossible ( at( one time i had to wait until my phone turned off by itself)
Hi.
Well, maybe i should try ICS again and just let it be laggy for couple of days and see if that help, but i also notice that the ICS drain my battery like he....l . Something i don't like at all.
I have been reading at Sony forum, and there is lot of people have problems with ICS.

That doesn't make sense. Loads of wireless devices connect to WPA2 successfully. It's only that this phone, when upgraded to stock ICS, fails to stay connected, and has the wpa_supplicant process hang with 100% cpu usage when such happens. It's definitely a software issue on Sony's end.

That i didn't know, i only experienced that in my bar most phones with ICS or IOS had trouble with WPA2 on my router and when i switched to WPA it seemed that the problems where gone,
but after a few days i couldn't connect for a while and suddenly it did...
Does anyone know a way to "fix" the wpa_supplicant problem?

Easy on the capitals there cowboy... :laugh:
There's indeed a probleem with ICS and the Wifi, if you search the Xperia forums you'll see a lot of complaints about it.
there's no solution at the moment, but there's an official update comming Proof
So you'll have to wait for either
- a solution made/found here on XDA
- an official update (wich hopefully resolves this
- a custom rom ( several can be found, but they're still in development)
- go back to GB
The xperia Go is a very good phone, it just needs some love and attention, some tweaks and customs...
I have installed almost all ICS based roms and excepting Xperia ICS and HeHappy rom (yeah, the old one - stable.. I cant find it ), my wi-fi connection is really-really slow with these roms (sometimes it takes even one minute to connect a website, and I cant watch video on Youtube (even in low quality)
In all gingerbread and froyo roms - there is no problem with my wifi connection (its a high speed wifi).
Now, its just me or you guys have the same wifi problem? I dont use 3g to connect on web. Its a bug or what? its very weird...
Nope, never had that kind of a problem, been using ics roms for a long time now, have u tried reflashing with wiping everything?
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
No problem here, with any of the ROMs I've tried.
BTW, which hephappy ROM is the one you said you can't find?
used many ics roms and didnt have any issues
for hephappy's and many others go to clockworkmod.com
I've never seen any major difference in WiFi reception in the ROMs that I have used in the past. I seem to get slightly better reception than I used to in GB ROMs.
Sent from my LG-P500
if ots solved, where is the solution?
