(Q) Location based wifi - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else finding that when using location based wifi, when re entering a saved location it doesn't turn wifi back on I have to turn wifi back on manually, then sometimes I have to select the wifi network and select connect. It's starting to become a bit of a pain.

Hmm maybe I've got a glitch, I'll see how it goes, it does switch on sometimes but most of the time I have to re enable the wifi.

If it's your home network, have you tried to reboot the router? Or to assign a static IP-address to it - one of the earlier Xperias had the same problem until a later update.

I haven't tried that yet, will reboot the router first and go from there. When I had the XZ it used to do it then, but not as much as this does.

Well I used to use WiFi - Matic on my HTC One which worked perfectly, so will go back to that if the inbuilt one still plays up.

Anyone else having major issues with wi-fi connectivity?

Just purchased the Atrix HD yesterday and when standing only 10 feet away from my router it constantly connects and disconnects. So far this has been the only issue for me. Any hacks yet for better wi-fi strength?

i dont know if its called att wifi app or att hotspot app but i disabled att hotspot app and after that i never had any problem with wifi!! there is a Starbucks real close to my house and they have att hotspot so when ever i drive around it would connect to att hotspot and i would have hard time connecting to my home wifi!! just go to your apps option inside settings find att hotspot and disable it since you cannot uninstall this app!! it might help!!:good:

I had same problem. The wifi turns off 2 seconds after I turn the wifi on. I did factory reset. After the reset, it seems it solve the problem but I had other issues so I did an exchange since it was with in 14 days of the purchase. I don't have that problem with the new HD.
Try doing factory reset....

I'm having the exact same problem. Mine will connect for a period of time then just starts a wifi boot loop, as I would describe it. It tries to connect endlessly and won't unless I'm right next to the router. A factory reset didn't fix it either.

I never accepted the at&t wifi app agreement, so it was never running, but still had the same issue. It seems better now that its forced to 2.4ghz. I still have range issues. my Atrix 4G would show two bars of signal where the Atrix HD connects and disconnects constantly. Its like i have to be sitting right in front of the router to stay connected.

I wasn't having any issues last night after switching to 2.4 only. But when I woke up it was disconnected and wouldn't connect again til I was right by the router. Hopefully a software update fixes this issue.

Wow, that's cool. Didn't move, switched to 2.4 only and my signal strength doubled and my speed seems noticeably better.
Now if this helps from oovoo and Skype constantly disconnecting life will be good. To be fair the inspire is also disconnecting at random too.
I had this problem as well - it dropped if my wi-fi was 2 bars or so, and it seemed to fluctuate. Tried the 2.4 only mode and it seemed to help a little, but I still lost connection frequently at only 2 bars. It would drop and look like wi-fi restarted and then connect again at 3 bars.

I took the phone back to costco and got a new one. The phone rep connected the new phone to his wifi. I walked to the other side of the warehouse and never lost connection. Came home and the phone has not disconnected once. Must have been a hardware issue.

[Q] wifi problem after update to jellybean 4.1.2

hey guys.
i got the new update of jellybean and i have a wifi issue now. It's stuck on obtaining ip address and after one minute of searching it says that the signal is to low to connect even tho i'm in the same room.
I've tried fixing the issue by resetting my wifi with no luck, even factory resting my phone with no luck either. I haven't put a new rom or changed any features on the phone.
please help.
phone info
make: samsung galaxy s3 4g
network: telstra
model: gt-i9305t
android version: 4.1.2
Im having same issue currently trying to get my handset replaced by three!! Im guessing its a common problem

I`ve had this problem with my phone from day one. Samsung have allegedly repaired it three times and Orange once. On the third attempt by Samsung they said they can`t replicate the problem.
I`ve had this problem on 4.1.1. Upgrading to 4.1.2 didn`t help
Try changing the WiFi region code in the advanced WiFi section

Try to forget it, then try again.
Try these tips
Wifi settings
open your box/modem 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 on your PC web browser
unable "automatic frequency or channel" on your wifi setting or try to change channel
check also if your Mac adress filter is enable. disable it
Wifi congestion by channel
Wipe Cache
Forget you network
cut the wifi
reboot your phone in Recovery Mode
wipe cache partition
Reboot
lauch wifi and connect to your network
Use the search!
And read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36414076&postcount=31
I have a different issue with the wifi, it connects and reconnects several times in its own, did not have this problem before.

wifi problems after update to 4.1.2
Hi,
I found that saved profiles are randomly disabled and can be enabled using the following app "Wifi Profile manager". The app "Wifi Fixer" allows for monitering, reconnecting and logging the state of your Wifi connection. After seeing this I send an email to Samsung Netherlands. (that was today). Another work arround is to forget the network, reboot the device and try again. When searching the internet I also found this not to be device related. Many more devices have this problem after the recent update.
regards,
Robert

Wlan_rx_wake... Anyone else??

This seems to be highest on my kernel wakelocks. I searched Google and found out that modifying my wifi network and making it static should do the trick but it didn't work. Anyone else suffering from this problem?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Problem is that the router maybe sending out packets to check on what all devices are still connected and this will vary from router to router and further down to their specific settings ...
It has started happening on my home router but office one is just fine ... so I am going to do some experiments on the home one to find the culprit settings ... its Netgear btw

If you have Wifi connected while the screen is off it will continue to be the highest.

Maybe a silly question, but I am always wondering if you turn off WiFi when screen off, will I still receive email if I have push email? Of course assume I don't have 3g enabled.

You're turning of wifi, not cellular data so you'd still get pushes and other stuffs coming in from the web.

Ive stock 4,3 not rooted and I've no idea about my bootloader but most probably locked
I'm having a sudden Wifi disconnect like each 20 minutes and when I don't have a disconnect the net is terribly slow!

I had problem with my wifi on android 4.2.2. Problems were likely like yours. Yesterday i have flashed my phone to stock notbranded android 4.3 and it works like charm. Maybe you should think about also updating your phone with this ROM ?

Hello,
Since the official update to Android 4.3 I also get issues with wlan when I am at work.
It might connect normally at first
But after some time I notice that I do not longer get data over it and most of the time it does no longer find the wlan in the settings, everyone else however can still connect fine, however most people are using iPhones but Even a galaxy s3 had no issues so it is no issue with the access point.
I also had it 2 times that I couldn't even disable wlan anymore (active again after reopening the settings)
Funny thing is that I have no issues with my home wlan that is a fritzbox.
On android 4.2.2 I never had an issue.
Everything stock, no root.
I am using a smartwatch 2. Not sure why it got mentioned here.
Check the router for a seeing that users 2 channels at once to increase bandwidth (not a dual broadcast setting for n and g or 2.4 and 5GHz). I have seen this problem on several android phones when enabled.
