Hi,
I recently moved from my old Xperia Z to the Xperia Z2 that I got from my brother after he upgraded, anyway, everything seems to work fine except the WiFi, it initially working fine after turning the phone on, then, after a random amount of time it will just freeze, meaning it still shows as connected but no matter which network I connect to, there's no Internet connection in any app, while at the same time other devices have no problems, tried disconnecting and reconnecting to a network, even turning the WiFi off and the on again, nothing helps until I reboot my phone.
After rebooting it starts to work again, till the next time it happen, so far it happened up to 3 times a day, it's really frustrating.
My phone is running the latest Marshamallow 6.0.1, build version 23.5.A.1.291, using a pre-rooted ROM, Locked bootloader if it even matters.
Any ideas how to solve the problem?
Thank you.
You can start with flashtool 0.9.18.6 and flash data again.

Thanks for the reply but...
Well, OK, it seems the problem isn't exactly as I first described. It seems only some apps looses Internet connectivity, while others continue to work fine, for example, I can surf the Internet in Google Chrome or play games like top eleven that requires Internet connection while at the same time I lose connectivity in social networking apps such as instagram, twitter and Facebook, sometimes also other apps (aliexpress for example).
Once again though, seems only a reboot helps. Weird, isn't it?
Anyone got ideas?

WHAT firmware and what version of whatsapp are you using?
Is your wifi kicking out a good signal?

I have the exact same thing, no matter what Rom, firmware, kernel, version of Whatsapp, router, modem, whatsoever. It sometimes just happens, no idea why.
When this happens I have a good signal. I'm on 2.3.6, and have the latest whatsapp version.

What did the Whatsapp developers say when you contacted them?
yeah these issues still exist... got it now on my device.
got I9100 on latest cm10 nightly (8th Sept.) with latest whatsapp version. and if you read all comments on the market you'll see that many ppl got these problems. sad
same issue here with i9300 stock ics
it works only on mobile data and when i turn the wifi on Whatsapp doesn't work
tired of deleting and reinstalling but same issue !!!
BTW my device is not rooted ..
i have been using what's app for good 4-5 months now and today i just got this issue. whats app won't work on wifi unless i turn it off and turn 4g on. i tried uninstalling and deleting the folder and did a clean install. it still won't work.
Just hit me last night
Got the same prob since last night!!!
tired to uninstall and reinstall it + boot my device million times and still won't work over wifi but my damn slow edge network!!
i have sent a email to whatsapp costumer's service and still waiting for their reply
These are issues related to the whatsapp Servers or sth. For me it works again. Without reinstall and so on. Just wait ... and tell them bout the problems
I've had this same problem for at least 6 months... doesn't work on WiFi but is fine on data...
What seems to happen is when you turn on WiFi it works fine for a while... but then stops getting or sending messages completely... just sometimes randomly it may start working again... say if you have lots of messages backed up to receive... at times it may start working again... but that means asking you people to bombard you with messages and still its not a sure shot solution...
Quite annoying I must say... especially considering reception is really bad in lots of areas and WiFi is the only way...
WIFI Whatsapp
Sort of same problem here, when i am on wifi and whatsapp and my phone is on there is no problem receive and send.
But when the phone is on standby after 10 to 15 min no more messages receiving, wifi is on.
when i turn the phone on and open whatsapp the messages pop in....
On data without wifi no problem.
WIFI setting always on.
Same problem buy not consistent. I have found a kind of fix, if your rom supports it, I use the long press back to force close function, then restart usually solves it. Alternately, pressing home, then swiping it off the task switcher sometimes helps too. Sometimes all you have to do is wait it out.
Was this problem solved in any of the updates. It appears as though I'm having this problem on one of my phones. It's the stock ROM with great wifi signal.
EDIT: I realize this is the S2 forum and my problem is an the optimus, but I am inclined to believe this is a whatsapp problem

The same problem started happening in the past couple of days. I a using CM 9.1. I enabled the Kill Application on long press of back button and you're right--After I did that and launched WhatsApp, the waiting messages (with the clock icon) went through and I got a check mark, then two.
Weird. All the other apps are working fine with Wi-Fi.
Same problem on my HTC sensation

I travel a lot and i was in India Last week and this week i am back in germany and it suddenly stopped working on saturday.
Any Solutions would be really appreciated.
Try this! Worked for me !!
I used VPN which worked for me . But i wanted a permanent solution. So I upgraded the modem firmware. Now it is working fine
Sorry to post here, but Im facing the same problem on my galaxy s5. I've tried a lot of things and nothing seems to fix it. I've changed my wifi router and the problem persists.
anyone came with a solution?
The problem is on the wifi router. I changue my router two days ago and i hadnt no problem with the old one.
If you retry to download pictures, it gonna works, but its really slow. Try to changue your wifi router to a newone
***********SOLUTION*****************
Guys,
I have also faced the same problem and here is the solution:
There is a Problem which started on 10th November. BSNL has blocked whatsapp.. BSNL users can not use whatsapp through wifi or dongle.
But there is a solution for this.. :
Install " vpn one click" or "Easy Surf VPN" app
Connect to India server
Or any country
Once ur done with this, u can use whatsapp and all the other sites blocked by BSNL
Enjoy Whatsapping

I know this has been discussed before, but after hours of searching last night on google, i have come to a standstill.
Has the wifi constant disconnect / reconnect been addressed.
Cheers.
re
looks like i will have to post my own reply.
I have reset the phone, and now it holds my wifi connections and does not disconnect.
Id suggest that if you have the same wifi disconnect and reconnect issues.. try a factory reset.
It connects fine, it just doesn't receive any data. I have tried flashing the stock modules. That didn't seem to help, I"ll keep trying hopefully when an decent AOSP rom appears i'll flash that and it'll correct the problem
Thanks

Is this with all wifi or just at your house, may be your equipment, does another phone have trouble connecting?
re
i just noticed last night something interesting, but not sure if it means anything to anybody else.
I have installed the chrome browser and have been using that for the last few days.
I connected to my home wifi and cruised around the web for an hour with no issues.
I decided to try the stock android browser and it would not load, like the wifi signal was gone.
i went back to my chrome browser and there was no issue loading new web pages.
I went back to my stock browser and reset it back to defaults and bamm it was working like the chrome browser with no hiccups.
Not saying this is a fix.. but it worked for me!

i was having trouble at work and at home.
Tried every wifi/wpa setting/channel/encryption/speed etc.
i have 5 other wifi devices that have no issues.
But after resetting my phone and then running chrome / clearing , resetting my stock browser .. all is good in data land.
edit.. just tested out my work wifi with the stock browser for about 10 min.. not one issue.
I have had success forgetting the Wi-Fi network that is causing issue and then reconnecting.

^^ i too face the same problem
I've owned the Xperia Z2 for almost ten days now, and I've never managed to hold a wifi connection for more that two minutes, after that wifi stays connected normally but no internet connection !!
the only solution is to reboot and the wifi will work again for a minute or two and then does it all over again !!
I've tried all possible solutions like soft-reset and switching off my wifi and even re-installing the firmware for Sony PC companion and nothing !!
is anyone else having the same issues??

I am :\
Bought the phone yesterday. Already used it a lot and loving it. But this morning I'm at home and I see WiFi issues. Sometimes the internet just doesn't work anymore (although I'm still conected and my other devices work fine). And I also got stuck to "obtaining IP address..."
I really hope it's not a hardware fault and that an update is coming (I did all the Sony updates yesterday). But you say it's been 10 days it is that way ??
On an unrelated note, each time I boot it, an alert tells me to put the caches back on to remain waterproof. Does that mean it detect the caches are removed ?because they aren't!
No issues with wifi here, as for the make sure flaps are closed message that will appear every time you reboot the phone, just tick don't show this again & it will stop appearing. It's just a general warning to make sure the flaps are closed.
The weird thing is that I have both.my HTC and nexus in the same room connected to.the same wifi access point and they are working properly.... This is very bad

My wifi is **** as well. It makes streaming video and music impossible as it keeps dropping out. Is there a fix for rooted devices?
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
this is really getting very annoying !!
I've finished my one month mobile data package in just twelve days because of this !!
I'm starting to regret switching from reliable HTC phones to Sony
what the hell is causing this !
Check in wifi settings & tap the 3 button menu then tap advanced & make sure Avoid Poor Connections is unticked, I also always set the keep wifi on during sleep to always & never have any issues.
If that can help, I think the issue is gone with my z2. What I did : backed up my whole phone using the Sony app, factory reset the phone and restore the backup (strangely, some apps weren't restored so if you can use titanium, it may be better). I also did what BanziBaby just said. No problem until now, crossing the fingers

Hi guys I have a problem. I'm on the latest firmware of .314 and when I connect to WiFi I notice that it hangs. By hangs I mean I'll be connected but after a while I can't browse as if I'm offline though I'm connected. I'm not sure if it happens anywhere else as I only use WiFi at home and its only started recently. Maybe two weeks ago. My other devices seem fine though I hardly use them.

There seem to be some repetitive policy bugs across all xperias on 4.4.2+
Running a fix permissions from TWRP>avdanced fixes my problem untill a month later :/
Oh right. It used to work fine before. I never noticed the problem before. Unfortunately I'm unrooted
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
having the same issue. let me know if yours is like this. wifi is connected but when you notice internet stopped working, the up arrow on the Wi-Fi blinks but not the down arrow.
yours like that?
Yeah mine is exactly the same. Sometimes it happens there and then and sometimes it works for a while then stops.

ok at least I'm not the only one having the issue. hopefully it'll be fixed in the next update
It seems to be another policy bug
Sony should have fixed it in the 4.4.4 update
I'm on the .314 update firmware but still get this problem.
Many people are having this bug (myself included). The only solution that works for me is an app called wifi fixer. It shows a log regarding your wifi, and tries to fix any issues. The log shows my phone unassociates with the router every so often. That's why my phone shows I'm connected, but I don't have any Internet access. This app detects it, and reassociates with the router thus temporarily fixing the problem. I would assume 4.4.4 will fix this bug entirely though.
I've had this, too. My Z2 is currently gone for repair, because after a few days of this I couldn't even turn on WiFi anymore. Or Bluetooth.
Strangely enough (and perhaps tellingly) the same thing happens on my Xperia SP running CM11 (4.4.4). I've got both WiFi and Bluetooth turned on (because of my SmartBand) and when I try to use the browser, upload seems to be active, but there's no download. The moment I turn off Bluetooth I get data from WiFi...
Not sure if these are connected, but if they are, I doubt the update to 4.4.4 is going to fix it.
(BTW, I'm not an expert, I could be wrong. I certainly hope I am.)
I'm at my cousins house and I'm connected to WiFi without any issues. He has the sky hub. I don't. I have the old router. When I asked a sky advisor I don't know if he was trying to sales talk me or was actually being genuine but he said due to the wireless n compatibility you will have some issues. I've been connected to the WiFi here now for like an hour

I notice after the 5.1.1. update recently. My phone starts to overheat (severely) you can cook bacon on it. I have done factory reset, wipe cache partition and still the overheating issue.
2nd, battery drains very fast. Before, i use my phone for more than 24 hrs. now maybe less than 16 hrs.
anyone had the same issues?
Try updating your prl and profile. It sounds like a searching for network issue.
I have another problem after last update. I can't connect to internet. I connect, via wifi or mobile data, and every page I open says "Connection refused". Even whatsapp, even chrome, even everything. So I restart the phone and works for 1 minute more or less, and then the same. So I downgraded to first 5.1.1 and works perfectly.
So strange

Hey there. I`m having similar problems with wifi since last 5.1.1 upgrade. How did you do to downgrade to the first 5.1.1? Thanks a lot!
