didn't u set any security on IP, mac on ur wifi router?
(I suggest first restart wifi router & then check its setting)
&
if router restarting not solve ur problem then try another wifi router and if ur phone connect and work properly then problem was with ur router if NOT so u need to check phone.
best way to understand it s hardware fault or not is to repair firmware of phone by PC companion.

have also a wifi issue.
first time ive noticed, i kept device loading during the night, plugged it off, then wanted to start wifi.
wasnt able to start it, wether thru shortcut, nor thru the directly switch on button in connections.
after i rebooted system, it was running again.today same happened again, but without loading,
after turning it maybe 5-10 on and off, i wasnt able to turn it on again,...after reboot, it worked fine again.
so far i havnt found a single hint or solution to fix this annoying issue.
thx in advance
Nope, rebooted the router, repaired the firmware on the Z2 still nothing

try using PC Companion to fix your device
(or flash a FTF with flashtool)
a few friends of mine had a WiFi issue and fixed it with Sony PC companion
(one of them still has heating issues but i think his heating issue is down to him, it seems his devices always do)

its a hardware fault.
Reasons:
your device could be faulty
Or the device does not suppor the wifi band of your country (common problems with Syria, india , Kenya, Some other countries i dont remember)

Hey guys,
Prob has been solved for me.
Unfortunately had to do a factory reset. Phone is literally 36 hours old lol
Settings under 'show advanced options': proxy none, ip address dhcp.
I have noticed wifi doesnt kick in though till after unlocking the phone and usually takes a few secs for the 4g (mobile data) to disconnect. Wifi HASNT needed to be manually turned on so far. Fingers crossed lol
Cheers.
Try in WiFi/Advanced to uncheck "Avoid poor connections" and "WiFi optimisation". Mine works ok but when I had "Avoid poor connection" checked I noticed that it didn't want to connect to WiFi even though I have a good connection at home.
I've got the same problem, phone is 1 day old and the wifi drops signal every few minutes. So far I've tried a restarting the router, factory resetting the phone, using a manual ip, unchecked optimise wifi and avoid poor signals. Its UK unlocked phone running 3 firmware.
Now debating whether to flash rhe UK ftf or return the phone to the shop?

If you have stamina mode on make sure that turn wifi & data off when screen goes off is unticked, it is ticked by default meaning every time the screen goes off it turns those features off & turns them back on when screen is unlocked. I make sure that is unticked & I haven't had any issues with wifi dropping.
Having the same issue with my newly purchased Z2, however only on my work network so far. WiFi connects, signal is great, but connectivity poor and it's taking an age to load websites/send emails/receive WhatsApp etc. It would be great if we could monitor this thread as more people get the phone.
Just performed a factory reset for the time and will test again when I reach the office in the morning.
Regards.

I have recently lost my signal from my WiFi at home but my phone still picks up the WiFi signals from the neighbors. I exchanged my first 3d for a new one but I still have the same problem. My ipod still picks up and uses the WiFi signal and was wondering if anybody knew why this maybe happening.

Try resetting your router. Or try updating the firmware of the router. Also try forgetting the network in wifi settings and then try logging back in. Or do a factory wipe.
Locked & Loaded
just turn wifi on and off, no biggie, works pretty well.
Check out WiFi Fixer in the app market. Solved all of my problems.
Whoa, before you do all that other stuff.
So your ipod works with your router? And your phone connects to your neighbor's router? If so then most likely your router isn't a problem, nor is your phone.
Android's wifi stack does a really good job of automagically connecting to the best available wifi spot. Do you see your wifi router in the Wifi settings? If so, long press and connect to it. If you have authentication set, then it will prompt you for a password.
Let's start with that then go with more, if needed, and will probably need more information that you provide.
My phone doesn't even see my WiFi connection, it can see all the other connections only... I've traded my phone in not only for this problem but other problems and this problem still looms. I'm thinking its in my settings that were transferred from my other phone? I don't know, help please...

Man its might be your router. Have ya even tried just resetting the router back to factory defaults??? Its a tiny pin size hole on the back of your router "or at least it.should be" Henceforth, find a needle or safety pin and press the that button for like 10 or 15 seconds and wailt 2 to 4 min. After that go to your wifi settings on your phone and click on your network name and chose forget. Now look for your new network name and which should be an open and unsecured network. It should have the manufacturing abbreviation in the network name so if its say a belkin it might be -belkin123 unsecured- also it should be open because when you reset the router it erases all of the security. Also routers firmware should always be upgrade. Not saying this will solve your issue but it might and its a really quick way to rule out if its your router.
Locked & Loaded
Some of the "perm-temp" root scripts caused this, if you used some of the older ones, you may be experiencing this.
The solution to it was to "forget" all your wifi connections on the phone, power it off/battery pull, then reconnect.
Of course, if this doesn't fit your scenario, disregard.
Hi guys, in this days i have noticed a problem with my gsII.
Sometimes I have the gsII connected to my router but internet connection doesn't work.
I'll try to explain better what i mean... I start wifi on my gsII and use internet connection without problem. Then I set the phone in standby mode leaving wifi on. When after a while i want to use internet connection, it doesn't work. The telephone is still connected to my router but i can't use internet on the phone.
The only way to make internet connection work is to disable wifi e then reactivate it.
This is really frustrating....
I've got the telephone from three months but only now I'm noticing this problem because first I used to disable the wifi and activate it only when i need it.
Am I the only to have this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks to everyone in advance... any help would be appreciated
A video is more than thousands of words, so this is an "example video" of the bug:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4um-AqLk1jw
Test it with a different router, i.e. Cisco E4200.
It would a good idea but i have to buy a new router or go to some friend's house for 2-3 hours. I'll keep this idea in my mind thanks
I have this problem, mines a bt home hub v3. Don't think its the router I blame the phone. I have to restart phone to make it connect with ability to use internet

I do not know what " standby mode" is? I have the same phone and have no problems with wifi. The phone goes to sleep when I do not use it and awakes when I use it.
It seems that your phones wifi is sleeping and not waking up. I always turn it off when not using it anyway. Not the full answer but it works for me.

I believe I know and had the problem you describe.
For me the Wifi would work perfectly at first and then after the phone had been left for a while I would try to use it and get 'no connection' type errors. Sometimes it would even stop working even if I just waited too long with the phone still on in my hand.
I found that if I either disabled router wifi security or set it to WEP the problem disappeared. The issue occurred on 2.3.3. My router is a DLink one fyi. I have yet to test 2.3.4 which came out yesterday in Sweden. Ill let u know.

If you turn wifi off when you don't use it, you'll never see this bug. Try to leave wifi on for some hours if you want to understand if also your gsII has this bug.

I tried changing the channel also. I have heard others getting this to work. Didn't work for me. You can use Wifi Analyser app on phone to find a clear channel and see how u go changing your router perhaps?
I tried re flashing also using factory restore. No fix for me.
Also noticed that u can sometimes get phone to work by toggling Network Data on/off. Not really fun either.
The wifi channels and security settings I am talking about are settings in the router not the phone. What wifi security are you using in your router?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I am not a believer the router is at fault in any case. I would entertain an incompatibility but nothing more.
Original router and security settings work fine for...wait for it...an iphone 3gs and a Motorola Defy (yes the phone which seems to have issues with doing everything else!)
Either way an incompatibility is not acceptable either if that's what it is

I know this, and in fact i have to switch off and on wifi connection when this happens.
Now i'm trying to use channel 5 with the router ( but yesterday I've tested channel 6 and 13 without any result)
I hate this bug because beacause it happens only when he wants! I'm quite sure that assistance wouldn't solve the problem. A friend of mine has changed three gsII and said that every gsII that he has changed had this bug!
Ps: Another question.... How often do you have this bug?
Once a week? Once a day? Three times a day?

i have the same problem reported in the 1st post.
i have been turning wifi off and then on again for a quick fix until now but i think the solution might be to drop the security on the router from WPA to WEP. Haven't tried it yet tho, because it doesn't bother me that much.
I had an ipad previously (before i had the SGS2) and it had exactly the same behaviour. I looked up the problem then and found a FAQ from the ISP that mentioned a compatibility problem between ipad and that router, so their suggestion was to set the router to WEP only.

For me it happens always after the phone comes back from stand by with wifi on.
steps to reproduce:
1-turn wifi on, and check it's connected and working
2-press power button to turn off screen
3-turn phone back on, try to access a new web page, it doesn't work
I noticed that while it's in stand by i will still receive email notifications so it probably only looses the connection when i turn it on again.
Also, if there was some program working (say, a download) when i went into standby it will probably still be transferring when it comes out of stand by, it's just the new connections that fail.
Soo ive been having this really annoying problem with my wifi connection on my X10
Soo if im connected to my wifi, it runs good, but when i stop using it and i leave my phone connected to the wifi for a while and try to come back and do something on it, my wifi doesnt work
and the weird thing is that it still shows that im connected to it, beside the signal bars, but i just have no connection to the internet for some reason
There should be a pic showing u what i mean
And i even contacted my internet provider (Rogers) and they said that its nothing from their side, its the device itself?
Please help, if u can

I used to have this problem b4. Connected home WiFi but no Internet. And I need to disconnected WiFi and use data to check if it connected to Playstore. Then enabled WiFi to see it work. Very frustrated. Its something to do with the Google DNS with my previous crappy Internet Provider which is CrapCast(Comcast). I just switched to Verizon FiOS last Sunday and never have any problems now on all my devices.
