Currently running the latest Pixel Experience ROM and it's solid overall.
But, I have experienced a super weird bug or glitch concerning the wifi and how it connects.
On the stock MIUI setup WiFi was solid and stable, didn't even have to give it a second thought. However, after rooting and ROMs the WiFi capabilities are seriously weird.
On both LineageOS and PixelExperience, whenever I try to to connect to my WiFi network, the phone takes down the whole network. And I mean the whole thing. It just tanks the network into restarting and I have no idea why. It should not happen, but it does.
And to actually connect the WiFi, I need to turn it on and off at least 3 times to get it to connect. But once it does connect it stays connected. It's pretty annoying when I go out and come home and the phone has to jump through these hoops just to get WiFi working properly.
I don't think that it has to do with the Pixel Experience ROM because I've updated it twice now and the problem still persists, so I'm just left thinking that maybe it has something to do with the vendor firmware that I used at the time when I was getting things set up.
Any thoughts? Would be a huge help!

Yes, most likely a Vendor Firmware issue. Try the latest.

Sounds good!
But quick questions, when flashing the new vendor firmware do I have to wipe anything? Or can I just download it and flash? And will flashing the new vendor firmware wipe my phone?
Thanks for the help again!

Just download and flash..no need to wipe anything. It will not delete your data too..
Edit: if your data not encrypted, you'll need to flash dfe (disable force encryption) as flashing vendor will encrypt your data.

Hi everyone.
I have recently upgraded my SGA from original 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 XXKPE and i have detected an issue when i try to use the WPA + AES combination. The phone detects the wifi but it tries to validate the password a few times and then it is disconnected...
When i tried to connect with the older firmware (Froyo 2.2.1) i could connect the first time but when i lost the connectivity my wifi changed it's state to error and the only way to reconnect was restarting the phone.
No issue detected with WEP or WPA + TKIP.
Anyone else has the same problem? If not, can you tell me your firmware version?
Many thanks in advance
Same situation: S5830 + ASUS WL500W works only with WPA TKIP. But with TKIP speed is limited to 54mbps. Android OS 2.3.4
Just picked up a Samsung Galaxy Ace running stock Android 2.3.4 (baseband S5830LUBKP7, kernel 2.6.35.7-perf-CL366939 [email protected] #1), and seem to be having this same problem.
My home wifi is set to WPA2 Personal+AES, and when the correct passphrase is entered, the Ace just continuously cycles through "Connecting... Disconnected", over and over.
If I drop back to WPA Personal+AES, I get the exact same thing. *However*, if I drop to WPA Personal+TKIP, the phone connects immediately.
I really don't want to use TKIP, as it has known exploits. Is there a known FOTA update for a US-market, unbranded Galaxy Ace that fixes this, or is there any known workaround except "don't use AES"?
try DDKQ6
after flashing DDQK6, reboot phone and enter PIN
then reboot again but in recovery and install CWM5
reboot and wipe data/cache/dalvik and reboot

Thanks for the info. I'm new to flashing phones, would kinda like to stay stock if possible, since this is my wife's phone, not my own. Am I correct in thinking DDQK6 is an Indian firmware? If so, what would differ from US-market firmware, and would I potentially lose any features or cause any unusual behavior by switching to it?

Just update it over the air from setting -> about/phone -> update.
Make sure you have backed up the data like contacts and sms.
Hey, hey!! Problem with wifi? I'm an expert on this But I came with bad news, though.
What I found out:
There's indeed a bug that prevents us from connecting to this kind of wireless (eduroam, in my case). Everything seems to come from a buggy version of wpa_supplicant, everything goes well but then, in the second phase, it seems to "forget" the password or something (I'm not an expert, sorry, can't explain any better) I've been trying to change it, but no luck.
I've tried most of the stock firmwares, and custom roms as well. No luck, still the same bug.
There's an app that claims to fix the problem. wifi ace if I remember well (advanced config editor). But it didn't fix anything for me. You may want to give it a try.
I was expecting for samsung to fix it, but I've lost my faith on it. Neither google seems to be doing anything, as the bug remains on android 4.0.
I can provide you with some links, in case you want to read more about. And please, let me know if you find something.

No need to be sorry. You're replying to a thread that's current, in that I replied to it with my own problem. (And I did so because it was the only thread that came up in the Ace forum on a search for AES, which seems to be specific to the problem. Didn't seem to make sense to start a new thread when this one covers the same topic.)
I am writing in desperation.
My Xperia Active is about 3 months old.
It is the ST17a version but that has never made much difference to anything else.
It has been unlocked via testpoint method so warranty is not valid (plus they don't sell this phone in my country anyway).
Phone randomly reboots when it is not plugged in to power, especially when trying to bring the phone out of lockscreen standby, after using any GPS function or just unlocking the phone
The fact that this WILL NOT happen when plugged in to power is telling me perhaps it is a power management issue.
Things I have tried so far: COMPLETE REFLASH formatting all available mounts from recovery mode + format SD card and start fresh.
Combinations:
1.Spartan Rom 1.9.5 + non-oc kernel
2. Spartan Rom + Rage Kernel
3. Different baseband versions including original (56??), .66 and .62 (currently have .62 installed)
4. EX MIUI + ST17 satsuma kernel
Reboots still happen with all of the above configs
The problem started suddenly whilst using GPS SportyPal pro + Bluetooth music I have previously not had any problems in this area but now they will not stop.
I did not experience any reboots with CM9 but I did not stay in that rom very long as there was way too much stuff not working on my handset - it probably would have happened eventually. Sometimes I can get over half a day of usage without a reboot but then will get like 5 in a row.
I absolutely LOVE this phone but I bought it primarily for sports tracking and it keeps crashing and losing my workouts so I'm getting pretty pissed off.
If anybody can tell me what to look at to try and track this down I would really appreciate it. Checking logcats are no good because it will never reboot whilst plugged in to USB. Are there any other logs I should check???
OK - if not any help to identify the cause - can anyone comment on repair cost @ sony service center out of warranty?
Try fully stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware, some other phones had issues with restarting all the time also, this firmware is known to fix this.
SOLVED - have carried out 5 days of testing.
I can confirm the latest version of MIUIex has addressed my reboot woes.
Have been running reboot logger 1.9 on the phone since then and have not had a single unexpected reboot. I am a happy camper.
Not sure if perhaps there is/ was a common driver or something that was causing these problems between a few of the up to date roms - I am just happy the issue seems to have passed for now.
And it's back. I switched back to Telstra, that means back to 850mhz band, reboots are back with vengeance. Might need to try and find a st17a specific Rom and radio.

Wow, thanks!
Seems to have done the trick but now is back to vanilla flavour - seems the rooting process has gotten ridiculous lately, I wonder if it would be easier to pull this ftf to pieces and insert the radio detials etc into another rom file.
For now I guess I will use stock phone unrooted, at least it won't reboot.
THanks for your help!
i have also had that problem. I flashed the sti7a ics version and it is gone, after that you can use any rom without any prob.

No prob..
You can flash any custom ROM you want, if it start rebooting again then get back to Stock..

I had the same problem, it used to happen when signal was scarce or absent, i solved by getting a new sim card

i has the same problem and make a reinstall with odin, and every thing is working nice although a did some test with a firm of argentina (I9100AROLP4) and this one are perfect.:good:
Just root your device and change your kernel can save your problem.I hope so.
Known problem; http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28036. Rooting, installing Fardjad's WiFix, setting a country code (GB in my case) and increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes from 3606 to 16384 fixed it for me. None of that should be necessary on the stock firmware of a consumer appliance, though.
EDIT: Actually, if WiFi connects, it might not be this issue after all. It is a problem in many (all?) official ICS 4.0.3, though. If by "internet is still not working" you mean the stock browser force closes before you can do anything with it, you'll need to go into settings->applications->all->[browser name] and clear cache and data. You'll lose your bookmarks, history and cache, so back those up first if you want to keep them.
Hi , I updated to this same build version today (form the first post), and I did notice that the wifi is working, however the download arrow of the wifi icon on the notification bar keeps blinking all the time. Is this normal?

Are you on about the up and down arrows on the Wifi icon? This is normal this just shows the up arrow as uploading and the down arrow as downloading data. All part of the ICS UI.
Piece of advice root your phone install custom kernel and Rom. You will not go back to stock ever again!!!
Thx for the reply. Yes those are the arrows I'm refereing to, but the thing that seems odd is that whenever the wifi is connected the down arrow keeps blinking regardless if I'm using anything (apps or browsing) on the internet or not.
As for the custom roms/root, I will get to those yet.. First I'll try rooting and then I might move to a custom rom. I actually got very used to the stock rom, but I know once I start changing it will be a one way road.. lol
regards
I had a similar problem when I updated to ICS 4.0.3. I did a factory reset on my router which sorted it out.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
In my case it doesn't seem to be draining more battery, its just the blinking that I found curious...
Not sure the router has anything to do with it but I will keep this in mind for possible fixes...
thx

Your Wifi always looks for the router hence the down arrow downloading data which is very minimal. Your router gives you an IP address which lets you have internet. Your wifi checks for internet even if you are not using it. This is why its best to turn wifi off if you are not using it as it does drain your battery. Custom kernels have sorted this out when your phone "sleeps" it doesnt wake up even if your wifi is on.
Root first, Backup backup backup second, then install a custom kernel (this is the most important part of the phone) and then a custom rom. Seriously stock hasn't nothing on Mod. Think about it.....
Hello, can anyone please help me with these problem I'm having, that with twrp 3.2.1-2 and any oreo rom like aex, pixel, carbon and updated gapps everything gets installed properly. But then at first setup mode when I connect to my wifi or mobile data, it comes to next step where it says CHECKING FOR UPDATES and that it may take a minute or two. This has become my nightmare since yesterday. I can't solve this problem, I really don't know what to do and I really want to solve this problem and use my oreo roms again. please someone help me with my problem I'm very much upset as it is my only smartphone so I need to use it.

Seems too obvious but have you tried just not doing that part and skipping the internet connection and even start without the sim so it can't check for anything, and then connecting after you've skipped through the setup. Also I can't remember what the latest twrp is, but if yours isn't the latest then you should update that. I know I have the latest, just can't remember the build number haha. Other than those things I have no idea as if the phone is starting up and even entering set up then it doesn't sound like an install problem, more like it's just maybe not connecting to the internet, but thinking it is, so getting stuck, so try with no internet and no sim card.
Heyyo, Which gapps are you trying with? I'd recommend MindTheGapps latest build which is MindTheGapps-8.1.0-arm64-20180610_024023 and it does not have this issue. I know some older gapps and some OpenGapps get stuck at "checking for updates."
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746163614322269857
Otherwise if you don't feel like downloading new gapps? Please try hitting the back button a few times and then going forward. It should skip the checking for updates... I think...
Hi everyone,
I have a really annoying issue for a while and I hope someone can have a suggestion.
When i turn hot-spot on, my phone freezes and reboots itself, so i cannot use this feature, however if I connect it to my computer i can share my data by Bluetooth.
More annoying issue, if I try to connect to wi-fi when my data is on, it freezes and reboots again and after that I can connect, but if I disconnect somehow, it reboots again. When I turn the airplane mode on, there is not a problem..
Has anyone of you experienced such issue?
Thanks
Sounds like a corrupt system, probably network driver or baseband
SInce you don't mention anything else I suppose you're on stock ROM , still locked bootloader, no magisk and all that. Simpliest way if your not familiar with ROM and boatloader handling is probably to do a total reset to start with followed by an update. Xperia Companion can be used.
If you're famiiar with ROM handling you may get the latest ROM from XperiFirm which you flash with Newflasher

Hi pergoteborg,
Thank you a lot for your concern.
You are right, I am on stock ROM. I have tried to do a total reset, but it didn't work.
Moreover, I am living in Italy and using Tim Italia, few days ago I was in Austria and in there I did not have any problem when I connected to an Austrian operator. I tried with a different TIM sim card in Italy, it was same. I will try with a different operator as well, but I have not had time yet.
Does it pop up anything on your mind about what could cause such a strange problem?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
