Xperia Arc S wifi problems

After upgradeing to Android 4.0 i cant connect to my WI-FI (WPA2-PSK). I can see my network, the phones states it gets an IP address and then just right after it goes into somekind of a loop : approves my logon, gets the IP ... then get throwed off and starting all over again. Before trying to logon to the network, it states that the signal is strong, but when in the so called loop, the phone suddenly claims that the signal is bad ?!?!
- Before the upgrade to Android 4.0, i had no problem whatsoever connecting to my WIFI.
- Our peripherals in our household, including my wifes XPeria Arc S, which not have been upgradded, hav no problems connecting to our WIFI.
- I have done a "reset to factory setting" without any luck
-  Also rebooted my Router, which has the latest firmware (Hawking HWR-54)
Any ideas??

I have a similar problem since updating my Arc S to ISC.
My WiFi can no longer connect ot my Intellinet Access Point regardless how many times I changed the Access Point encryption, SSID, password, channel, etc.
The interesting thing is that when I switched to a N capable Access Point it connected straight away!
Couple of days ago I used Sony's Software Update Manager to upgrade to the latest LT18i_4.1.B.0.587 and I can attest that is is faster and snappier, but the WiFi problem still presists.
Another weird thing is that if I have ANT+ service running Before switching on my WiFi and connecting to the Access Point I'll never be able to use my WiFi unless I reboot the phone.
Now, Being a loyal Sony/Sony Ericsson/Sony user for the past 12 years I have to say that these issues must be ironed out Sony before we dump your phones and go the Samsung way or any other way.

  • LEAP WIFI problem after updated to 4.2.2

    I've just upgraded my tablet to 4.2.2.
    Now I can't connect to my company's network which uses password LEAP. Major problem for me.
    Seems this is a common problem across a number of Android platforms.
    Does anyone know how to resolve on the Tab Z (not rooted). ?

    We are looking into this (see http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-ZL-ZR/XPERIA-Z-LEAP-WIFI-problem-after-updated-to-4-2-2/m-p/3...) but at the moment i have no solution. This seems to be a general problem with Android 4.2.2 from what i've been able to find.

  • Wifi problem after.4.3 update on xperia z

    Hi all,
    After updating my Xperia Z (C6603) to build number 10.4.1.B.0.101 I've been having connection issues with every Wi-Fi network.
    I've checked the forum but I only found problems about people having Wi-Fi issues with their smartwatch, I do not own a smart watch this is just a general networking issues.
    Here's the problem in detail:
    When having no Wi-Fi switched on while booting the phone the phone will start without any issues, I will receive my 3G/4G signal and I can browse, e-mail, everything.
    Once I switch on Wi-Fi it will start connecting to previously stored Wi-Fi access points but will not connect. Eventually it says that there was a problem with connecting, even though this will take several minutes.
    I can go into the Wi-Fi settings, select a different Wi-Fi network (if it is in range) and press connect, however the settings app will freeze at that point and eventually I'll get a notification that the settings app has stopped working.
    I have found a "work-around": I switch the Wi-Fi to on, power off the phone and power on again. Now the Wi-Fi connection immediately powers on without an issue once the phone has completely booted, it also will connect to the default Wi-Fi connection that is in range. A different issue appears however once I move out of Wi-Fi range, it will no longer pick up my 3G/4G signal. It is also impossible to switch off Wi-Fi or switch Wi-Fi network connections without rebooting the phone.
    As I said before this happened to me after updating to version 10.4.1.B.0.101 after having it received through OTA update. I do not have root access on my phone either so this can't be it.
    Is there anyone experiencing the same issues? Is this somehow related to the issues people are experiencing with their smart watch connections (as seen in this topic: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/wifi-problem-after-4-3-update-on-xperia-z/td-p/490591...
    If there's anyone who is experiencing the same issues, or has found a fix for this I'd gladly hear from you.
    Regards,

  • Xperia Arc S Auto restart problem

    I am having a strange problem with my Xperia Arc S. It's keep auto-restarting all the time and does not start at all. It's showing the "Sony" Logo then the "Xperia" logo then blank screen and then after some waiting it's keep showing the "Sony" logo and "Xperia" Logo. I reported this to Xperia Care and I got advice to visit Sony mobile Service Center.
    After I visited the service center, the technician agreed to repair the Phone provided I give them a formal declaration that during repair if anything goes wrong, then I would not hold them responsible for the damage as the components required to rectify possible damage is not available with Sony.
    Please advice me what to do. Is there really any possibility for unrecoverable damage? Do technicians in service centers can claim such declaration?

    Hi ... I had a same problem and its resolved by just some working mentioned below, do not panic your data is same and it will be recovered, twhen your mobile arc s is continuesly restarting, when xperia logo is displayed, long press the home key or continuesly press it, the middle button and in 4 to 5 restart you will see the lock screen and your wall paper and it might restart from that point also but try again and again and if the screen stays move quickly to settings and close the blue tooth and with the next restart your phone will be normal, hence forth do not use bluetooth i future It will require many try so be patient and try again and again.  I was successful twice and got all my data as it is. ashok.gos wrote:

  • Having problem synching Media Go with my Xperia Arc, and SE sync

        Help people. Just got my Xperia Arc and attempted at using Media go to transfer all my music files into the Arc. However, the transfer keep hanging in the middle if I transfer too many files at a go. Say 3-4 albums.
    It keep popping out wit the error code 0x802a0006. Help me!!!!!!!!
    On a side note, I sync all my contacts with google account. Those contacts that I imported from the google account, how do I sync it t my SE sync account?

    I'm sorry to hear about your problem with Media Go and Xperia arc.
    I have been trying all morning to regenerate the problem you guys run into. But without any luck. I've been testing with the latest version of Media Go.
    Unfortunately I'm not able to place what the error code you get points at either.
    I believe that my best suggestion would be to see if you guys get the same problem if you try on another PC computer.
    Regarding the SE sync, it's not possible to sync contacts in the phone that comes from Google to SE Sync. That's because they become marked as Google contacts and can't therefore not be synced to another web service.
    If you would like to have your Google contacts on SE Sync as well I suggest that you export your contacts from Gmail, and then log in to SE Sync on your computer and import them under contacts.

  • Xperia arc s adb not working after upgrade to ICS

    Hi,
    I have used my Xperia arc s for android development (using eclipse) for a long time without any problems. Then I decided to upgrade my arc to ICS (4.0.4). I installed PC Companion and upgraded with the official software from sony. After the upgrade I can not connect to my arc from eclipse anymore. The device manager in Windows Vista shows a warning on "Sony Ericsson sa0102 ADB Interface Driver" and "Device status: This device cannot start. (Code 10)". This is shown in the device manager before I even connect my arc using USB cable.
    I think the problem occured either when I installed PC Companion, or when I upgraded the phone. I have tried to uninstall PC Companion and reinstall the adb device driver with no luck.

    Since I'm not fully into these kind of issues I'd recommend you to check over at the developer site to be able to get hold of more info.

  • Xperia arc s is extremely buggy after ICS update

    The following issues have appeared after det Android 4.0 update:
    1. The phone restarts all the time without any prior warning (extremly annoying)
    2. Bad Wifi reception.
    3. Apps freeze and shut down all the time( A am aware that this could just as well be apps not optimized for ICS)
    4. Charging the battery seems to be much slower.
    Any bugfixes comming out soon? Anything I can do, except maybe get a Samsung instead?

    Hello
    I got with my phone Arc with similar problems. Update was successful only at the third attempt, the phone responds much more slowly than in Version 2.3 ... Wi-Fi connection which is switched off and disconnected so by watching the Internet, You Tube... This is not happening before the update. Starting applications is much slower than before. For some even changed commands              :( . Mostly everything is much slower. Only appearance is more beautiful ... the rest?? Before I update to ICS 4, all work better and smoother.
    Why?

  • Xperia Arc Bridge for Mac not detecting

    Hi
    I am using a Xperia Arc (LT15i) android version 2.3.4. I haven't updated this phone in ages and it is build number 4.0.2.A.0.62.
    I'm using Sony Bridge for  Mac 3.2(3202).
    I have been trying to update my phone. Unfortunately, Bridge for Mac doesn't detect that I have a device connected (using MTP mode) in order to update it. The program detects that I have a phone connected when I connect in MSC mode. The USB is good. I have tried turning it on and off and reconnecting and restarting the program.
    Any tips?

    Hi Dantroy,
    I apologize for the delay in an answer. Do you get any error messages when trying to connect the phone in MTP mode or does nothing happen at all?
    If you do get error messages could you please provide me with error logs as it's difficult to know what your problem is without more information. Otherwise, I would just suggest trying to reinstall Bridge as well as trying a different USB-cable (even though you say it's working).
    Here's how to get error logs out of Bridge:
    1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
    2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
    3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Export logs"
    4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
    5. PM that file to me or post the contents here
    I'm sorry I can't solve your problem right away.
    Kind Regards,
    David

  • I got download error (502) message when i tried to download firefox for mobile . i use xperia arc. thanks

    i tried to download twice but get the same message. the first time, percentage of dowload was less then 2%. the second time, download had progressed to about 30% before i get this message. i'm using xperia arc with latest software update.

    Google controls the download servers for all Android packages. Only suggestion we can make is to try downloading on a reliable WiFi connection.

  • Unable to read SMS messages received on Xperia Arc

    Hi,
    I am unable to read SMS messages I have received on my Xperia Arc.  They arrive ok to my handset (as they appear in the notification bar) but when I go to open it up under Messaging they don't appear.  When I send messages they also don't appear in the conversation.
    I assume there is a related symptom to my problem, my Call Log doesn't get updated anymore.
    Any ideas?  I have looked at thread 28371 and seems similar problems but I did not drop my phone...
    I have installed avast! Mobile Security in case I have a virus but it comes up clean.
    Cheers, Paul.

    I agree with Slimshaddy's comment above. Make sure the time and date is set correctly on your phone. If you continue to have the problem, try resetting the phone and ensuring the time and date it set correctly before you receive any more messages.

  • Strange wifi problem on a brand-new MacBook Pro

    Hey there, I'm new here. Desperation has got the better of me, and I hope I can get some advice.
    So, last sunday I bought a brand new 13" MacBookPro with 2.8g i7 processor and 10.7.2 OS (I can't update to 10.7.4 because System Update tells me the download has been tampered with or corrupted after I waited 2 hours for it to finish, but I'm trying a direct download from the website). Here's the exact product: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-MD314LL-13-3-Inch-VERSION/dp/B005CWIZ4O/ref= sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1340301247&sr=8-5&keywords=macbook+pro+13
    Everything is all perfect except for a strange wifi problem. Note that the wifi does not turn-on or off, it doesn't disconnect after 'sleep', it doesn't get less speed, it doesn't constantly leave a preferred connection (once I chose my home wifi it always connects to it no problem). The wifi bar is always full. What is wrong is that the internet is kinda 'glitchy'. The best metaphor I can think of is that it's like a car that has to be pushed down the road before the engine can start. Please, bear with me because this is kinda hard to explain and I'm not good at tech lingos.
    One of the symptoms is browsing can get really slow and inconsistent, almost as if the wifi gets turned off in the middle of browsing. For example: if I look something up on Google and then open 5 new tabs, probably only 2 or 3 of those tabs will eventually load while the other two will not get past the long 'http:.......google.....etc etc' address and will eventually show one of those 'error loading page because there's no Internet connection' notice. This happens a lot. Sometimes I have to refresh/retry loading a page a couple of times before it finally loads, then usually everything will get back to normal and I will be able to open multiple tabs with no problem, but in a couple of minutes I would try to open another site and the problem will start again.
    So I tried to see how it does with downloading using iGetter. Fortunately I also have a Macbook (white-plastic casing one) and my brother has an old 2006 MacbookPro so I can compare. With those two older Apples iGetter starts receiving data in less than 8 seconds after I click Start, while my brand-new Macbook Pro can take up to 15-20 seconds, sometimes it doesn't even start at all and I have to re-click the start button. But once the download actually starts (on my new MacBook Pro), it downloads like normal, it doesn't stop and the speed is also as good as I can get. Strange huh? Hence, like a car that has to be pushed before the engine starts.
    I also tried 'speed testing' from a website with all 3 laptops. On my old MacBook and my brother's MacBook pro, once I click 'begin test' it takes only a couple of seconds of 'ping' before the download/upload speed measurements start, but with my new MacBook Pro (just like with iGetter) it takes up to almost a minute before the measurements start, sometimes it won't start at all and I have to re-start the test.
    Well, thanks for reading. And hope you can help me shed some light into this. Because it is really preventing me from really enjoying my new MacBook Pro. And if this is most likely a hardware problem, I'd better get back to the store and try to get it replace or something while it's only been 5 days. *cheers*

    Hey guys.. Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, I bought the MacBook in Indonesia where there are no such thing as an AppleCare. The only option is to leave the Apple product to one of the 'Authorized Apple care centre' and have whoever do whatever to it without guarantee of success. As for returning it and getting a brand new one, I also don't know if there is such a deal here, but that's actually a good idea, will try to go to the store tomorrow. Although, I'm worried that the problem might be with OSX Lion or something and getting a new one won't help.
    mark75090, I've tried resetting the router when I first noticed te problem, didn't work though. I've checked my new MacBook's wi-fi (option+click wifi bar) and it says 'PHY Mode: 802.11g', so does my MacBook and the old MacBook Pro. I don't know what those mean though, and I don't know whether or not my router is an N., can you tell me more please.. I have tried with the other two turned off, and only the new MacBook using the wi-fi but the problem persists. I have also tried connecting directly to the router, but as I described, the problem is too subtle for me to notice the difference.
    Also, if I create a brand new Wi-Fi connection in network preferences and connect to my router through the new Wi-Fi profile, the problem seems to be gone for an hour or so, then it always comes back though. I have also just finally installed 10.7.4, but it doesn't help either.

  • Wifi problems still exists?

    I sold my gs60 that had an 870m back in january mainly because i couldnt bare the wifi problem. I really loved the laptop and everything about it but everytime my laptop overheated the wifi would drop from 100mb to 1mb or less at times, monday im thinking of buying a new msi laptop and im wondering if these models that are currently being sold on amazon and etc still have the wifi problem or has it been fixed?
    And trust me, i read the forums, i read the guides and im pretty decent with computers/software and etc, i uninstalled, reinstalled, updated it, changes adv. settings and even though it improves certain things the problem was still there. So does it still exist?
    Or should i just buy a USB wifi?

    This problem only occurs in earlier patches of Intel WiFi card of GS60 2Px (8xx series of NVIDIA graphic cards) and not every unit was affected.
    If you don't want to take this risk, I'll suggest you buy GS60 2Qx (9xx series of NVIDIA graphic cards).
    USB WiFi is a good idea. It certainly has a better signal comparing to the WiFi embedded in the body of the laptop.
