I know that this tablet was released 8 years ago, but I was wondering if there is some way to revert to the previous version of the software. Or at least a version that predates 2016. The reason why I would like to do this is because I have been having network problems that- and I want to make this clear -it has nothing to do with my router and is not likely due the the tablet's hardware. It only happened after the update. I have noticed it refuses to play videos from the web (no, not just Youtube), and every now and then it gets disconnected from my network.

Anyone experiencing problems connecting to Splashtop. Its behaving rather unsual for me today, plus I think it crashed one of my remote systems as I no longer see it.
No problems for me. I always get kicked off though after being connected for 5 minutes or so. This has been a problem for me ever since the last update.
the kick off problem has been resolved (apparently, haven't had the chance to test) with the new update to the splashtop app on the market, not sure if its same for my cloud version, try updating it if you can (i stupidly bought splashtop before realising it was free >.<)
I own Sony Tablet S since last 90 days but has a lot of problems, it has been at the service station due to its issues for more than 45 days.
The features/functions included are really nice, but the company doesn't care for the customers.
I called and mailed the Customer Care for more than 20 times, but didn't got a revert even once.
I somehow got a replacement, but the same issues were there in that one too.
If not wrong, I got the promises from the Customer Care around 20 times to revert back, but just got 1 revert back.
The major issues I am facing are
1. Wi-Fi disconnects regularly
2. Wi-Fi doesn't have proper range which you can even see in the youtube link as follows:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FRb855gBMo
3. The device hangs a lot when loaded, stops responding for a long time and the only solution remains is to Restart/Shutdown
4. The screen doesn't get unlocked many a times even upto 30 seconds after pressing the unlock button.
5. GPS connectivity issue: Connection to GPS only remains if you stay at a place, not if you move anywhere from a particular place.
BUT THE WORST problem I am facing is the WORST COMPANY SERVICE.
The stupids don't just know any status of the problems most of the times.
They promise to call/revert back, but I didn't get any reverts of my e-mails from the 13th of April 2012. I can't understand why is this happening to me ???
Any1 facing any of these issues ???
Please provide me reverts unlike SONY
I have the same problems 3 & 4 as you. And most probably caused by the WiFi connection.
I have sent in my Tablet for repair cause after a month of usage - the battery cannot be charged.
Hopefully the ICS update will solve these few problems.
I'm from Singapore and Sony after-sales service sucks all around the world except USA, Japan & maybe UK. That's where all their customers are at. =)
Sorry to hear you're having problems.
If you've had the same wifi issues with 2 tablets then it's unlikely to be a hardware problem and more likely to be a compatibility or settings issue between your router & tablet.
I'd try connecting to another router or network or if this is not possible look at temporarily removing security and possibly changing channel settings on your router. There are other threads here which discuss some wifi issues. Make sure your router has the latest firmware installed and do make sure you've updated to the latest version of Android for your region as this has been known to help
Wifi will disconnect when the tablet goes to sleep but should connect again within 10 secs or so of waking up Unless you download an extra app which forces constant connection.
With respect to the laggyness and crashing what apps do you have installed? I'd be tempted to point the finger there first before blaming the tablet, might be worth going through them and seeing if you can narrow it down to a dodgy app or one that doesn't like the Sony much. Certainly like above get the latest android.
I hope the issues get sorted swiftly for you.

Wifi is a known unsolved issue the rest is not really nmormal, but why don't you try to contact sony vaio service wich contains tablet s also
Agreed with James. If two tablets have WiFi problems, it's almost guaranteed that is a problem with your network environment, not with the Tablet. I have never had a problem with the WiFi and it always reconnects easily.
Also +1 for the app suspicions. Most of those issues sounds like they could be coming from an app (particularly 3 and 4), so try factory resetting your device then installing apps slowly one-at-a-time, waiting about 24 hours between installs to see if any apps cause this behaviour to return.
As for replies from customer service, I can't help you there since Sony replied to my only support Q within three days of my message. Make sure you have the right address, and then try Vaio Service.

Thanks for reply dude, but you'll really be amazed to know that
My router doesn't have any issue, it has been upgraded to the latest firmware.
To add I connect the same router with 2 Nokia E6-00, Nokia N8-00, Nokia E63, 2 Sony Vaio Laptops, 2 PC with a linksys usb modem, Samsung Galaxy S, Nokia E71, Lenovo Laptop, Samsung Galaxy Note, Sony Walkman Live, a lot Iphones of my customers get connected to it, a lot ipads get connected to it and none of them have problems, why this is the only 1 ???
About softwares, again a shock this is a problem when my Tablet was just opened from the box even, it is still there and I guess will remain forever, and if you guys don't know, just check the youtube link I provided, it explains a lot.
Anyways thanks for the help
And even I use 4 Sony Vaio Laptops and always suggest Sony to my friends and relatives, but this time I faced the worst cause they promised me to revert back almost 20 times, but I got a revert only once. What the f**k
Guys please reply if any of you are facing the same problem or not ???
A few days ago i got my Lumia 920, and pretty soon i discovered a networking problem. When i am connected to my homenetwork, the people hub refuses to update facebook-streams. Sometimes it does, but most of the times its just "looking for updates". I have this problem only when i'm home. When connected to the wireless network at work, it works just fine - it's fast and updates every time.
I guess there is some parameter on my router that the phone does not like, but i dont have any clue what it could be. I'm running the newest firmware, no security is enabled. The problem is on both 2,4 ghz and 5 ghz.
I run "dhcp-reservations" so the phone gets the same ip every time - i also tried without reserving a specific ip to the phone. It has no effect on my problem.
I tried to enable the log, but the log is not very informative - its just telling what IP-adresses its trying to access.
This is the first device i have that is having a problem with my router. I have had three windows phone devices before, i have had iphone and one android phone, and of course laptops. I have never experienced this problem.
Would be very thankful for help solving this. I am not skilful enough to figure out what could be the problem. It works like a charm "everywhere" except when i'm home - so it must be my router that it does not like.
920 and WRT610n
I have a 920 and a wrt610n as well. A while back, I reflashed the firmware on my router with a third party open source product from dd-wrt.com. The firmware provides a lot more options for the router, and may help with your issue. I used the "mega generic" version of the firmware. Follow the setup carefully and let me know if you have and issues. :fingers-crossed:
I have exactly the same problem with WRT610n! Hope there's somebody can provide a solution...
Sorry to bring it to u guys, but some particular brands do not "like" each other. For instance, D-Link has an issue with iPhones and iPads, now this has issues with Lumias...
Possibly some reflashing of the router might get the things done, I cannot tell. I have a WR240G - and it works perfectly with every device, except for iPhone5 (in order to work with it, all security must be shut down)
So I bought 26 LG G4 h810 to organise VR Field Trips using Google Expeditions.
At first I managed to connect only 4 of them. I thought it's perhaps a router. This app relies on WiFi P2P btw. So I changed TP-LINK router worth like 60$ to Asus RT-AC 5300 which is quite high-end. Not much changed as yesterday I had trouble connecting even 2 devices together.
This morning I realised that G4s with Android 6.0 //I received 5 of such// are actually stable and work like a charm together. So I thought I finally have a solution - I'll upgrade the rest - flash with kdz through LG UP and I'm good to go. Well I'm not. The 3 upgraded phones act just the same as they did on 5.1.
It's a funny thing really, to see - 7 phones connected - 2 of them on v5.1,
I connect to this wi fi (5ghz btw) another 5.1 device one after the other, and some of the phones disconnect just one of the other 5.1 device in the network, some of them kick out all the 7 phones. As soon as I turn the wifi off on the newly connected 5.1 phone, all the rest connects back on together.
By kick I mean Expeditions app is reconnecting. Sometimes it goes as far as disconnecting wifi completely, but usually it's more like internet becomes unavailable. And that's btw a funny thing, cause Expeditions doesn't rely on internet connection - the router theoretically can be offline - however when the phones get to fight over wifi (when there are 3 android 5.1 LG G4 trying to connect), notification comes up "internet is unavailable" and with that Expeditions connections are lost aswell.
I spend whole days on it since like a week and am slowly getting frustrated so decided to write to ya not only read.
Yesterday I rooted 3 of the 5.1 phones to get rid of AT&T bloatware and unlock hotspots - it didn't change anything.
I think it's some sort of direction, the fact that 6.0 devices work as expected and 5.1 ones not, but the problem is so specific, that I can't really find relevant information online.
I also compared the working and not working phones today with antutu and antutu officer and it seems they are legit. Had doubt as I bought them refurbished from Aliexpress.
The wifi works perfectly on each of them seperately as I updated apps on them and experienced no issues... As long as I updated max 2 devices at the time.
Am thinking of interference of some sort, or like device id conflict or something... Will probably also try to rename the devices maybe something like confuses the router, I don't know. Please help.
Hi All.
My first android phone was an HTC Magic, and in all these years I have never had such a nasty phone. From the first day the wifi has never wanted to work, as I move away from the router the connection drops, or disconnects, a shame. I bought the phone in Italy in December, on Monday I got the update to Android 11, the phone is overheating and furthermore working with the gesture is impossible, you know the swipe up to see all the application running..now it's impossible, the wifi always sucks.... I work and I can no longer write on the motorola forum to ask for explanations and receive meaningless answers, reset the phone, send me the logs, deactivate this one, try disabling this. Do you know an easy way to solve the problem? Also I noticed that with antutu benchmark my modem also supports 5ghz wifi? Why the hell they didn't they enable it? Sorry for the outburst but this is the first time I have such problems with a stupid phone.
