Problem 1. Many times, I will pick up my NT after it has been sitting idle for a number of hours, and wifi simply will not connect. I try to turn it off and back on in the settings, but it says it is unable to turn wifi off. I power cycle the device and it works again. This will happen on an almost daily basis.
Problem 2. Once wifi is working, certain websites will not load, or will load just once and wont' load again for hours. For example, I bookmarked these forums, and I check them often for updates. I wasn't having any problem at all until the last couple weeks. I'm rooted with google apps, i'm using the original browser. A few moments ago, I loaded the big list of forums. It worked fine. I clicked on THIS forum, however, and it would no longer load. I can browse the forums on my Droid Charge, my Desktop PC, my iPad and my girlfriend's iPhone 4s, so I know the website is not down, and it's a problem with the NT only. Other websites on the NT work fine. I can run the Speedtest app on the tablet with no problems. I can run wifi analyzer. This problem even occurs on Dolphin Browser.
I'm about to just do a factory restore again and give up on rooting for now. This was the same problem that made me restore a few weeks ago. The browser just becomes borked after being rooted for x amount of time.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Just an update: After factory restoring using it for a while, and then re-rooting, I've noticed that problem 2 has never re-occurred. I'm not certain what was happening. Very strange. I reproduced the problem over and over before posting. I even tried resetting my router and modem just in case.
Problem 1 persists. Rebooting always fixes the problem temporarily, but if the device goes to sleep for a few hours whether charging or not, it will almost always need a reboot. I always try to turn wifi off and back on, but the device is unable to disable wifi during this issue. I never noticed this problem while the device was unrooted, though I'll admit I didn't keep it stock, unrooted, very long.
I'm rooted and I don't have either of the problems you mentioned. I use the dolphin browser exclusively. I'd definitely go back to stock and then re-root.
Been rooted a week. Use Dolphin-Mini and little on no trouble. WiFi seems to reach pretty far. I sometimes need to restart if idle a while.
I have not had any issues with wifi.
It's you. I have yet to have an issue with wifi. Netflix amazon player, dolphinhd etc.. all hage worked almost flawlessly
I've experienced Problem 1, where I'll need to reboot wifi after leaving my rooted Nook idle overnight, a couple of times. But it's only happened 3 or 4 times to the dozens of nights I've left it on overnight. Otherwise, I haven't experienced Problem 2 or any other issues connecting to the internet using wifi. My Nook seems rock solid in that department.

Same Here.
I am having the same problem 1 the past two days or so. I have sideloaded amazon app store, GO Launcher EX, the Nook app manager and several sideloaded apps from the amazon store. Also running ZD Box.
I will have the wifi just go out with the same message, I turn off and back on and its fine. I figured its one of those issues that will be cleaned up with the next update.
My son has a Nook Color still on software 1.3 and he has had it once or twice.
I am having the same problem with the Nook needing to be rebooted after sitting idle. I am rooted but I don't know if this was a problem while the device was unrooted because I only had it for about a day before rooting. Could it be Go Launcher causing the problem? Because it sounds like the poster above me isn't even rooted.
I leave wifi on 24/7, but only have my NT associated with my home network and my mifi. I have not had any issues reassociating with either of my networks after sitting in my backpack all day.
Wifi so far works great for me.
I've had my NT for over a month now, and no problems with wi-fi. My wife's 1st Edition has to be rebooted and charged up to 100% to get the wi-fi to work right. I think her problem is she keeps letting the device run down to well below 50% before reconnecting to the charger. Less power- less signal strength, I guess.
There are a couple of free apps in the market that might help you. WiFi Analyzer will pick up all the nearby signals and reporrt their strength. You can walk around your premises and see how well your router is reaching various areas.
Just a thought.

Power-saving settings to blame?
I've seen this during three weeks of using my NT. It's not a new problem.
I used an iPaq on my home wifi for years and noted that when I enabled power saving on the wifi NIC on the iPaq, it would get stupid and lose throughput completely from time to time. I'd have to cycle the connection to get it back.
Sounds familiar.
I had it happen sporadically with my NT.
Since BN did my OTA update to 1.41 a week ago, I have not seen this happen.
I don't think sideloading is the cause since I noted this very early on in using the Nook before I sideloaded it.
I believe this is an unfortunate implementation glitch with a lot of wifi NIC's and access points, and not unique to the Nook.
No problems with mine which is rooted. Wifi works great.

My grouse with the NT's wifi is that it seems to be pretty "weak" - signals that my laptop and Nokia N8 could find and connect aren't even visible on the Nook Tablet. That's rather inconvenient.

I've had the opposite experience, In basements and rooms where my phone or notebook have spotty access, the NT has held on like a champ.
This sounds more like a "my router and my NT don't play nice" which is a problem that I have had with my mothers Iphone and my own Droid 3. I changed some settings on the router and it worked for the iPhone, and setting a static IP helped my phone.
A widget to switch wifi on and off quickly is recomended, so that you can "reboot" your wireless. So to speak.
Its also possibly your device is defective? Try it with the wi-fi at work or at school and see if it has better stability.

Man, I haven't even thought about the iPAQ in years. I used to use one all the time until I bought my first smartphone. I had to Google it after you brought it up just for a quick trip down memory lane.
I have power save enabled on my NT and still am not having this problem at all; however, my battery is not getting below 75%. Are you guys maybe seeing this problem after the battery drops to a certain percentage, or is it all the time?
EDIT: I will also point out that if you look at the B&N Nook Forums, other Nook models like the Simple Touch are known to have wifi issues. I had a NST and it would absolutely refuse to get a DHCP address from my home router, so I would just connect it to my mifi when I had the odd occasion to need connectivity on it.
My NT is rooted and I have a similar problem but only with my router not not necessarily all routers. I just unplug my router and plug it back in and it reconnects with no problems. However, before I had my OTAs blocked, I got updated to 1.4.1 and the the issue was definitely fixed. However, that fix was not worth keeping the update. I am back to 1.4.0 and love my NT.
My NT has better wifi reception then my samsung Infuse.
hi anyone knowns how to do that?
thanks in advance.

Had same problem, this worked for me:
You Need:
PhoenixSuit
1) Install PhoenixSuit
2) Disconnect USB
3) Shut down tablet (Hold power for 10 sec)
4) Press and hold Home-button
5) Connecting USB (keep holding down Home button)
6) Press Power button 10-15 timer (While still holding down Home)
Now 1 of 2 thing happen
If 1: PhoenixSuit pops up and askes, want to reset? - Press yes.
If 2: Nothing.
7) Download stock Ainol firmware
8) Try to update tablet via PhoenixSuit (PhoenixSuit will say that i cant connect to tablet, but ask you to do step 1-6)
9) Do steps 1-6, and it should work this time. (well, did for me)
Hope this helps, else i got nothing

Relax guys. I need a bit of advice from you experts around. Onda unfortunately isn't available in my country and they say it's not being imported anymore due to problems.
So this is where I end up.
I need help choosing Ainol Novo 9 Spark or Ainol Novo 10 Eternal (known as Captain with 2GB ram and 1200x800 display)
I like the Novo 9 Spark but I read it has wifi problems ( which im not sure is hardware or software) and low speaker volume and it's retina display eats a lot of battery, doesn't support all apps and isn't good for 3D gaming.
Where as Eternal (Captain) has no WiFi problems until now (supports 150mbps), a better battery life (11000 Mah) and as its 1200x800 display it is much faster and has a decent volume. But it has a cheap poor performance CPU ATM 7029 and poor GPU GC 1000. As its new it lacks custom roms and stock repacks too ..
Which one should I go for?
I'll be buying either one this week.

To buy or not to buy
Properly the wrong post for this, but short:
- Do you like to "play around" with your tablet (setting up, installing new firmware, clocking ...)
- Expect to surf internet, read stuff and watch movies alot? (where the Retina display realy comes to life)
My experience is, that stock Ainol 9 suckes; terrible software/firmware.
An update to "Rom by x-calibur sdk 3.2 Yandex 0718" transformed my Novo 9 to not only a usable tablet, but acually a pretty good one.
Games it plays, see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175446 - All games i have tried works.
Hardware is fine, not the best, not the worst - (but then again, cant expect top-end hardware in a cheap-end tablets); all in all i find it more than adequate.
Especialy the Retina display realy does af difference, crisp clear, but comes at a cost, more work fore the CPU = shorter battery time and less speed - I find it worth it, still get 7-8 hours gaming at max brightness.
Worst Things:
- Wifi antenna is not the best, with at desent router/accespoint you get ok signal (40-60 %), but if you have a big house and low wifi signal in some parts of your house, this might not be the tablet for you. - Its a Hardware problem, so no easy fix, its possible to replace the antenna, but its not a big enough problem fore me to start disasembeling my tablet.
- Play store wont recognize tablet properly - Basicly i cant download anything i have to pay fore, amazon app store works, but just not the same - I get by with downloading apk and donating.
I have no experience with the Novo 10.

Thank you, have to learn knowledge.
Same problem
Sorry for my english. I got a Ainol Spark 9 updated to 4.2.2 with TWRP recovery. It turns off suddenly and when I try to turn on appears boot loop. I tried to update via PhoenixSuit pressing home button, conecting USB cable to PC and pressing 10 times nothing happens, Phoenix does not recognize the tablet.
Any suggestion? there is any way to hard reset the tablet pressing buttons?

Try reinstalling the rom and then, before rebooting, wipe the dalvik again. Others were having the same problem (with the Onda V972 - the same tablet) and this seemed to sort them out.

Well, my Spark died as you know so I contacted to seller online who sold me the device about my problem. Then they ask me for some info and pics showing the issue I sent back the tablet to warranty replacement and a couple months later they sent me a new tablet. I just spend the cost of shipping to China, that's all.
hard reset
When the tablet is completely off
1. Hold the Volume down button
2. Press and hold the power button. You will see a battery appear and a hear a beep shortly after. Release after about 15 seconds.
3. The device will now boot into boot loader with ability to hard reset.

hi All,
my SPARK 9, AINOL NOVO tablet started freezing repeatedly, and kept displaying that apps downloaded from google playstore were no longer compatible and stopped working. soft factory resets did not solve the problem as the apps kept misbehaving as before. i had to force close it after another episode of freezing by pressing down the power button. after this, the tablet did not come on again.
the tablet now shows the following symptoms:
1. not recognized by PC or phoenix software
2. does not display battery charging icon when connected to charger but tablet becomes warm after some time.
3. i have read that in order for phoenix software to recognize the tablet, one must use a screwdriver to bridge certain pins, but before proceeding , the pin configuration of the chipset in the tablet should be identified -as my tablet is also AINOL, but the spark 9-so i am posting the chipset pictures, pls if this procedure will work with the spark 9 kindly assist. i have tried to upload the pictures of the motherboard showing the two NAND FLASH chips on board, but the link does not display paths on my laptop but rather a URL.
there are 2 flash NAND's on the motherboard with these serial numbers"
SK hynix
H27UCG8T2BTR
BC 309AA
M12KG9320H & M12KH8120H
i have downloaded this rom: Novo9-Spark-LX-20130422v1-1, i hope to flash it to the tablet once phoenix can recognize the tablet.
thanks.
thanks.
So this is quite irritating at the moment. Me and my mom both have a Sony Tablet S (SGPT111US/S). Now both mine and my mothers are causing difficulties right now, and both have very different problems. So I'll start off with my moms tablet since it may just need to be waited out for the problem to go away.
Mom's Tablet:
This was just a couple days ago, My mom says her tablet froze at 10:03 (like it really matters what the time it froze at is) on the cradle. She had to press the reset button to turn it off, however the unit will not Turn on or even go to the Android Recovery Menu to preform a factory reset. As of right now it is connected by the plug rather than being on the cradle. I'm hoping that this issue can fix itself since others have had this experience before and got theirs working just by letting it sit a couple days on the charger, however if you have any ideas on getting it working sooner that would greatly be appreciated.
My Tablet:
I honestly don't know what has happened. Until a couple days ago I turned on my tablet and after it boot up problems emerged out of random the second the lock screen appears every single app crashes, not once but continuously. Even the home screen will crash and continuously reload itself, so getting to any app won't be possible and even at that when i do get to an app it's already crashed and i'm back at the home screen. To help make matters worse, the tablet won't remove Apps permanently, i can uninstall them (oddly enough while every app crashes without them even starting the settings doesn't crash.) however if i reboot the tablet everything returns like nothing ever left. I have even went to the Android Recovery Menu to try to factory reset the device, but the factory resets doesn't even reset even though the ARM says it did. So i'm stuck with this crashing loop and a Non-Factory Resetable tablet. I have tried to see if maybe rooting the tablet could help, but not even the Tablet will load itself completely when connected to my Computer so rooting is out of the question as well. Also the Bluetooth and Wifi won't turn off as well.
In the end,
Both Tablets have the current update (4.0.3 RA5) and both are Not Rooted. They are out of warranty so last thing i want to do is call Sony to repair my tablets for a fee. I would also like to note my tablet has been sent in once for repairs because it was stuck looping the boot screen, so my tablet has had trouble in the past, but since then until now i have never had any problems. I will admit, i do sometimes install cracked apps, the app i installed just a day before all this happened was Minecraft 0.7.2.......I have installed it on my EVO and Walkman Z and no problems have occurred and they still have the game.
Please any help for these tablets will be Greatly appreciated. Please Will you help Me?

How's your mum's tablet doing right now? If the issue still persists after what you've tried, I'm thinking maybe just let it run out of battery, charge it back up and see what happens. Also, have you tried using the pccompanion software to redownload and reinstall a fresh firmware back onto your tab? It's a more 'thorough' reset method as opposed to a factory reset through the tab settings.
my Sony xperia z ultra goes berserk and haywire quite often........I guess the software is quite unstable ... Sometimes after opening the home page the phone strangely starts operating on its own.. The pages gets changing, sometimes the contacts gets clicked, phone calls get activated...once my phone was lying ideal and after i got a missed phone the phone automaticaly started went on a dial mode dialing the phone number from my call logs
Today suddenly the wifi got activated, the home page got rotating and kept changing....I mean the phone is lying in front of me and i am not even touching the phone and everything is happening on its own the phone going berserk......
Help .. has anybody else going through this same problem........
Today while i was browsing the twitter ...suddenly my twitter went overactive ...automatically getting clicked on send tweet tab and sending blank tweets....
Godd..........is it a ghostttttttttttt.... i am lost and pulling my hair.. never seen a phone behave like this in my 20 years of having a moble phone with me...
Note: If you initiate this process, you will lose all the data stored in your phone’s memory. All settings within the apps will be lost. You will only retain the data on your card; like your music, photos and videos.
1. From your Home screen, select ‘Apps’
2. Select ‘Settings’
3. Tap ‘Backup & Reset’
4. Now, hit ‘Factory Data Reset’
5. Tap ‘Reset Phone’
6. Then hit ‘Erase Everything’
Once this process is completed, your Sony Xperia Z Ultra will reboot itself. That’s it, most smartphones abnormities are solved by simply performing a hard rest.
Model?
Firmware build please?
-Latest is 14.1.B.1.526. (if your is lower, update it)
-Download Sony update service
-Follow instruction.
its firmware ending with 510 .. no we havent got the new update of 526 in our country.... as jutley said will try doing a hard reset.. hope it works..
Even with the latest firm the phone its far away from the stability in the 475 firm. In my case it must be with the backlight optimization on if not acts funny (not only for the booting...)

Dirty screen? have it if i touch my screen with water on my hands or flour. It stick to the protection and do like if I was touching the screen again and again until I clean it ^^
If I have to pick which Z Ultra C6802 firmware is the most stable, I will definitely go for the .475 firmware, without any doubt.
In all honesty, with the latest firmware updates, it feels more like a downgrade to me. With Optimised backlight always on, the colors of the display looks dull & faded.
If you untick Optimised backlight & restart your phone, then it will go haywire to the point that you wish you've never purchase it in the first place.
Sony has taken a step forward & 2 steps back with their latest firmware updates - Tell me What's the point of rolling out enhancements & new updates, at the expense of firmware stability?

There must be dirt or water in the screen due to sweaty hands on you r screen causing this. I had the same pribelm. Lock the phone and wipe the screen with a neat cloth or paper. It will be gone.

Seriously though this sounds like a nightmare and one I hope you soon resolve.

unstable xperia z ultra software
Tried everything damn thing you all guys asked me do.. even resetting it twice... nothing seems to work...... finally called the sony service center guys... well they admitted its a software issue and needs to be updated and quite strangely its a an update which they claim can be done only in the serivce center and not in my home thru pc companion nor over the air thru from my mobile....
Its sound quite strange to me and hearing for the first time about a software update which sony service center provides exclusively provides and which is no available to the end user..
Anyways i am quite exacerbated by the whole thing and finally decided to go back to my note 2 which i have still retained..
Sorry Xperia guys ...do u have think i have made a mistake by changing over to z ultra from note 2 .. or its a just a one of thing.... which should get settled by this sony service center upgrade...
sending it tomorrow, will keep you guys posted.........if it doesnt work even after this i guess i need to pop of my xperia
Tried everything damn thing you all guys asked me do.. even resetting it twice... nothing seems to work...... finally called the sony service center guys... well they admitted its a software issue and needs to be updated and quite strangely its a an update which they claim can be done only in the serivce center and not in my home thru pc companion nor over the air thru from my mobile....

My guess is that they simply reflash the ROM. There is a new update out today BTW. Have you tried it?

xperia z ultra updated to firmware ending 532
my mobile just got returned from service center with the new firmware installed.... now to see if the bugs have dissappeared..
never imagined sony can release just a major high end phone with so much of bugs in it.
This is your bad luck. I never had any problems with Zu, now I,m on third firmware, I have changed the country code, rooted etc. And never had any problems with the phone. Maybe your problem is deeper than o simple firmware install, that is why they asked to send the phone to service. I guess it's just bad luck

Because it's already perfect.
Nah, i don't know. Maybe the updates are location based, i.e the models that got sold in Asia have some problems, and Sony is trying to fix them, and the "western" versions are from a newer batch and don't have these problems. Maybe Sony noticed something funky from the first batch, but then it was too late, so they went like "**** **** ****! Execute them updates!", and meanwhile in peaceful Europe - nothing. We got the good ones.
This is of course completely wrong and i have no idea what i'm talking about, but it could be. Could. But i doubt it. Yes. I doubt it. I'll stop now. Soon. OK, now.
usually, Restore factory setting can solve it
solution
Hi..my hp start crazy justnow..so try with reset with secret orange button (inside sim slot) with needle or pin.
Press along 5 second..till or hp was shutdown. Now my phone coming back to normal...
Hi, I want to ask if some of you have Wi-Fi problems with this "smartphone", specially:
-Low Wi-Fi signal. (Very very very very very^128 low range)
-When coneccted to any network (If the miracle happens) the Wi-Fi speed is very very very very very low (That if I get KB).
-When connected to any network (If the miracle happens) the phone doesn't even recieve a Byte.
In my home I have an internet connection of 6 Mbps (600-700 KBPS) and my Nexus 5 (Thank God I have a smartphone which can actually connect to Wi-Fi) takes all those 6 Mbps without any single problem, but then I take my Z2 and connected to the same network in the same place as my Nexus 5 was, can't fu***** even get one fu***** Byte! I turn off and turn on the Wi-Fi a thousand of times, I restart the phone a thousand of times and is the same sh**.
I'm really mad because of this, I mean I fu***** paid almost 500 bucks for a phone (Z2 could even be considered as a phone?) that can't even load Google.com?
For example: I connect to my Wi-Fi, I go to Google.com and the "phone" loads the page, then I try to see some video in YouTube and whoa! It doesn't load any of them. Unless I'm right next to the modem this "phone" can surf in the internet.
This happened me since the first days, modem is at max 20 meters away from me, there's only ONE wall between the modem and me, nobody is stealing my Wi-Fi, and as I've said before my Nexus 5 connects to Wi-Fi without problems.
Anyone is having or had any problem lime this?
Did you fix it? How?
Right now I'm using eXiztenz ROM (Android 5.1.1) with rootroot, no Xposed or amy mods.
I don't use stamina or any "battery saving" mode.
This also happened me on all previous Android versions and even with custom ROMS. I have my bootloader unlocked.
I've already tried factory reset.
Any help is really appreciated.
PD: Sorry for my bad English.

That´s really frustrating, but as i see you did all possible steps (newest ROM, no Xposed).
I think your Z2 get a modem problem. Go to the phone store and ask for a refund.
But before set your phone back to delivery state (relock bootloader, restore TA-partition)

I've asked to other people I know they have a Z2 and they have the same problem, I think is most a factory production problem. Very bad.
