WiFi not working - Sony Xperia 10 Questions & Answers

Hi guys, i bought this phone (used) and there was no issues, but in one day it stops searching wifi. It sometimes may do it, but most time it shows that there is no networks nearby.
I think i should replace wifi module, but found no information where is it on this phone. May somebody told me that?

Hello, I don't think you can change the wifi module : it most likely is a chip soldered on the mainboard, you might want to check the connection between the mainboard and the antenna ?

this might make sense, which antenna should I check?

I don't own the Xperia 10 but it can be either embedded on the chassis with little nipples pressed on contacts on the mainboard (or the over way around) or it could be "standard" U.FL connector. If your device has fallen many times they could be a little loose as these are quite flimsy

Lost gps , wifi , bluetooth together

hello
I had a problem with my touch screen and after i get it to a serviceman my gps , wifi , bluetooth and phone mic were lost. so i search for a solution and i found this:
Hi. Have a look on ebay. I would recommend you buy a complete LCD and digitiser pre-assembled in one unit... These typically cost around £35 UK pounds when bought from sellers in Hong Kong. You will need a set of jewellers screw drivers (mini torx drivers), and a set of tweezers. Also, would recommend downloading a Service Manual for the Diamond if you have never taken one apart before (you can find this with Google). You need to be very careful though, because there are two small black coaxial cables inside the device that carry the GPS, bluetooth/wifi signals from the upper antenna board to the lower motherboard. These are very easily damaged and it is difficult to locate replacements. I've changed a few LCDs in the past and it is relatively easy if you are careful and methodic about taking the device apart. If you are unsure, I would recommend finding a third party replacement service on the internet to do it for you....

[Q] Need new wifi antenna or new coax connector

Ok, so i took my N1 apart to replace the microusb port. After reassembling it, wifi has gone almost completely, except when i'm really close to the router. I've checked all the connectors so think it has to be the aerial foil or the coax, any ideas?
Everything else seems to be working fine.
The coax plugs are w.fl type but i can't find any info on the WIFI antenna.
Me too. I have no bluetooth or wifi. Just says 'Error' when trying to start. Obviously something wasn't put back right.
Suffering from the same issue on N1, after the assembly, wifi doesn't work and just shows error. I've tried different kernels and bcm4329.ko 's didn't help.
And i don't remember if i didn't assemble it right. Doubled checked to see if everything was in place. It is.

[Q] Wi-Fi Problem.

Hi All,
A couple of weeks ago while repairing the cracked screen of my HTC One I broke the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth cable running across the phone. I ordered a new one and used the phone without it (With very poor Wi-Fi range) until the new one arrived. The antenna arrived yesterday and I installed it in the phone, however, upon booting the phone I have found that the range is still very poor.
Someone please help!!!
Thanks,
NoBones

You might have damaged your wifi/bluetooth transmitter/receiver by using it without the antenna connected. Transmitters are designed to work with antennas that have calculated length and impedance based on the wavelength (frequency) used. If not using the right antenna or no antenna, most of the power is reflected back to the Tx/Rx circuitry and can cause irreversible damage.
Never use a device without its antenna or with the wrong antenna, this apply for all devices that have transmitter circuits. (WiFi routers, phones, CB radios, etc etc).
I will not explain in details how it works, if you want to read more about this, search VSWR in google.

Probably need a mother board replacement if your issue is caused by what I said

[Q] GSM connection is dead ?

Hello,
I have carefully replacing the M7 screen
The sim card is recognized but the connection to the provider became impossible.
Do you think that the GSM module is dead ?
Best regards
Make you didn't screw up the antenna

You might have damaged a cable or a connector. You should disassemble and reassemble to double check everything is correctly connected and no damage to wires/connectors.
Did you operated the phone with the antennas disconnected (the back cover removed)? If yes your radio chip could have been damaged by reflected power. Antennas are critical, their impedance are calculated so they are balanced with the transmitter (SWR = 1). Remove your antenna and the transmitted power will be reflected back to the chip possibly causing irreversible damages. Thats why you never operate a radio transmitter (wifi router, CB radio, phone etc) without its antenna connected or a random antenna.

Wifi "cover" Where to buy or how to apply it right

Hello guys,
some days ago I changed the top motherboard (where camera is attached). Since then i couldnt get good wifi connection.
When changing the motherboard, i had the problem that i couldnt stick the wifi cover (as shown in the picture) properly to the new motherboard because I had no new tape. So i sticked it as good as possible and closed the phone.
Now my question: How can I stick the wifi cover properly to the motherboard so I can have good wifi connection. And if it is not possible, where can I buy this wifi cover with tape attached?
Thank you in advance.
might be one of those gold pins in that area. try adjusting some of them and checking that they are making a good connection to the casing.
