It will turn it on/off automatically as per choice

Which choice? I don't think we have options here.

There has never been a choice to turn off 5Ghz in Z phones...

Wi-fi policy not working

Hi all!
Is it just my unit? Wifi can only be on or off. Other settings simply don't work (wifi off when sleep, wifi on when charging).
Anyone else experiencing the same?

Theres an app called 'Wifi keep alive' which allows you set defaults ie: always on/off whilst in sleep mode/on whilst charging and its available from Play store.
Hope this helps
Applications aside, all that can be set up in advanced settings in WiFi section of settings menu. Just like on all my previous Android handsets. But on my RAZR I it simply doesn't work.

Wifi turns off when screen is off

Hey,
Two days ago my phone started to turn off the wifi connection when the screen is locked. Sometimes I even have to restart the phone to get the connection back to work.
It does not happen to the 3g connection.
I have checked all apps if any of them are causing the problems in their settings. And I don't use any battery saver apps.
Anyone had the same problems?

You've checked that the "turn off wi-fi when screen is off"-option in advanced Wi-Fi settings is set to "Never"?

Mobile Data not working after Cyanogen 11 4.4.2 ROM

After I've installed the Cyanogen 11 4.4.2 ROM for Xperia sp, my mobile data hasn't been working at all. I can turn it on and off, but no symbol(H, 3g, 4g) appears on the signal icon. I've already tested every possible APN settings. I need your help!! Much appreciated !
Check APN or accespoints: Settings > Network and Wireless > Data/more etc..
Check at mobile networks and APN or Accespoints
If these are empty you need to add them manually, so check with your operator for the details..
already done that, still not working..
Enter airplane mode wait a few minutes reboot device and turn off airplane mode

Didn't work Q_Q. Could it be that I'm missing some sort of file for data connections??
Is your operator a virtual operator? Then you need to turn on data roaming! Android detects a virtual operator as "roaming" older versions of cm had the option of national data roaming but cm11 doesn't you won't have to pay more if you turn on roaming in your own country

Ok so I called my operator and turns out they hadn't registered my SIM number on 3G connections or something like that. Thanks tho!
Having the same problem
I tried the CM11 and AOSX, on both of them I am having the same problem. Though I have setted the APN up, the mobile data is not working. I tried the app Tweak APN but not worked either. Is there any fix about this issue or any solution that someone can help? Thanks.
PS: I am having an Xperia Sola

Try to enable data roaming (no extra costs will apply if you are in your own country)

Z3 Wifi Problem

Hi,
I have recently bought a Z3 Compact.
I noticed that the wifi drops from time to time.
It still shows as connected but no data can be sent or received.
I have to disconnect and reconnect to the network so that I can continue to use.
My Samsung Note Edge had a similar problem and was solved through diabling Wifi Power Save.
Since Z3 don't dialer I could not enter Service Mode to disable that.
Is there any solve to this issue?
Thank you in advance.

If you use Stamina Mode, switch that off. You can go to settings>wifi>advanced settings and try and disable wifi optimisation

Wifi wont turn off

I noticed that after disabling/turning off Wifi, it still stays on and consumes battery, although Wifi icon shows switched off in notification and settings section. Restarting phone helps and WiFi finally switches off, however I do not want to restart phone every time when I want to switch off WiFi.
Does anyone have this problem and how ro resolve it?
My phone is in latest version on android 5.1.1 and on previous version I did not have such problems.
A factory reset might help

Thanks, but I would rather keep factory reset as a final option.
Any other suggestions?

Maybe wifi is configured to search for networks even if "turned off". Changing that might help

Sorry for silly question, how to configure WiFi to stop searching for network if it's turned off?
Thanks.
Go to settings - wifi - 3dot menu advanced.
