Hi!
I’m one of those strange people that WANT the Wifi to stay connected at all times.
I use the tab as a media router, directing media from 4 servers and 3 receivers in the house, quite cool actually...
Now the problem is that every time my tab looses Wifi, it messes up the list of servers/receivers.
I have a slight memory that the Wifi policy settings worked in the beginning, but now they don’t. Witch ever profile I choose, the Wifi is dropped when the screen turns of. I don’t have any powersaving app installed, and I have found a workaround in an app called Softlock. The only problem with softlock is that it seems to keep the CPU awake as well, and this drains battery.
Hopefully someone here in the forum can set there tab to the sleep policy “newer”, then shut of the screen, wait for a couple of seconds then turn on the screen and check the right bottom corner, if you have Wifi/Internet connection.
I am on 3.2, and if someone gets the “newer” disconnect policy working I might just have to bite the bullet and do a soft reset…
I've just selected the wifi disconnection policy to never. that seems to work fine.
Yup bug!
This is a bug on 3.2 for sure even after a factory reset setting the wifi policy to never the wifi connection is disconnected after about only 5 seconds with the screen off. Even setting the setting to never when plugging in and then plugging in the tablet the wifi still goes off as soon as screen turns off.
Other people are also having problem on Sony forum:

Got the same problem here but sometimes its fine.... even bought a new router today and still the same

When you set the Wifi disconnect policy to NEVER, sometimes it needs a powercycle (power off and on) in order for it to take effect.. hold power button for at least 3 seconds, choose OK when it asks you to shutdown. Then turn on again.
I am having this issue with the wifi disconnecting when set to "never" as well. However after a reboot it seems to work for a bit but then starts shutting off again. I think we can safely say this is a definite bug.
didnt stay awake long for 3.1 either..
I kept my tablet s on 3.1 for awhile to see if iit really needed the update it didnt but I opted for it regardless and it no setting change or application I've tried will keep wifi on I call either bug or sony wifi defect.

Let me know what they say. This is the response I received from tech support last week. I'm pretty sure this guy does not even have a tablet next to him or he can see its clearly a bug. And the stuff about it being the router and about it still keeping a connection when downloading is crap. We are not talking about when something is downloading it will keep a Wifi connection just when you put the tablet to sleep.
"I'm sorry that the issue still persists even after performing factory reset and updating the OS in the tablet. The tablet is not known by Sony to be defective in any way and we are not aware of any such issues. Sony does not address any comments published on, or quoted from a non-Sony website.
In that case, I suggest that you reset your wireless router or access point and your cable or DSL modem by removing and reconnecting the AC power source.
After resetting the wireless router or access point, try downloading any application from the android market, then turn off the tablet screen. After that, turn ON the tablet and check whether the application is still downloading. This is to confirm whether the issue is resolved.
If the issue still persists, I suggest that you contact our next level of Hotline Support team. You can contact our technical support team via phone using our toll-free number: 855-476-6982.
Reduce your call wait time. Use our priority service line (US only - Long distance charges may apply): 239-245-6476."

Exactly, sometimes it works for a while sometimes it doesnt. But it always falls back into its old habits.
Still no answer in Sony Forums tho.

tbh its kinda like talkin to an advanced AI. Hope they really r aware of the problem and will get us an update soon.
well, it is reassuring that they are looking into it....
Mine had the issue for a week, but for the last 2 or 3 days, wifi policy has been prefect.. I wonder if that will go on forever, or if it will stop again if I power off my tablet and switch it back on
Question is now
How long before we get ICS Watched the Google/Samsung presentation and there is alot to like about the Android 4.0 changes. The drag and drop folders, the flipping away email, notifications, chats, apps you are done with, the people app and the improved voice to text are my favorite.
Oops wrong thread, sorry.
i had the same issue when i bought the tablet.. but after a day or so, and a few shut downs seems now is working as intended. Is been 4 days with no more disconnecting when screen goes off.

Its kinda hard to miss if ur not downloading anything or r remotely connected to ur PC f.e. But I tried it on three different devices...they all show "No Internet Connection" in the lower right corner once u turn on the display. It gets back access pretty quickly, but well thats not the problem.
Sony Mod got himself involved in the official Sony tablet forum. Lets hope for the best

You're absolutely right, it did lose internet connectivity even with the always on policy activated!
However this seems to be random, sometimes it does retain the connection, sometimes it doesn't... but definitely something going on there - not so much a need for me, but understandably in need of a fix!
now been over a week with consistent wifi performance, never goes off anymore when screen is locked.... I only had the problem for the first 4 or 5 days, but no issues since..very weird, but glad it finally works as desired.

I fix this by using blade wifi fix from market. Please try whether it can fix your wifi issue
Ive been using the camera without any issues so im not sure if it is related only to a couple apps or if its a possible problem with the camera that may get worse over time.
When using redlaser or att code scanner, after the item is done being scanned, the camera itself makes an audible click which is not a shutter noise. You can feel it, its not as strong a feel as the haptic feedback so i believe its the camera.
Is this something i should be worried about? Should i do an exchange on it?
On a side note, this click does not happen with the normal camera app or with any others ive used, just redlaser and att code scanner so far.
try factory restart

Yea i can confirm this…this is normal. I think happens because of the camera focusing.
Thank you guys for the feedback and suggestion Glad to know that its not an issue!
My Pioneer x940bt head unit worked beautifully with my galaxy s3 with pandora in app mode. Now I got an s4 and I can only get it to work in app mode once after the initial pairing. After that the x940bt keeps saying to check my phone when I can lawfully do so. I have seen a few other threads on kenwood websites having the same trouble. I don't get why I am having these issues, is anyone else with an s4 having trouble? Any fixes?
Anyone?

same any one ?
Sucks...
well true m to looking for it

Hey guys,
Just wondering, how bad IS the Camera quality on our Z2s after unlocking the bootloader? Part of the reason I love my Z2 is the fantastic Camera/Camera quality with most images.
If it is awful I think i'll just hold out for the Stock Lollipop rom to come out.
I saw little different honnestly
It apears a tiny bit more noise but this is is a near nil difference on my device
---------- Post added at 03:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 AM ----------
Downgrade, root and make a TA backup before unlocking your bootloader

Ok, as I'm getting the flash-itch...
Having had a N5 previously and flashing it silly over the time I had it, i'm getting itchy fingers LOL
Well as said backup your TA then root
Then unlock your bootloader, just incase something goes wrong with the device
My phone's showing that there's a software update for our phone - download progress shows it to be about an 89mb download. Anyone have an idea what it's for?
Thanks!
It's software version VS99011B. QRemote bug fixes, navigation button fixes, and contacts on the second screen fixes.

The update fixes Fingerprint Sensor issues! I was having lots of problems getting my finger print registered with my Spigen case. Now it's so smooth and easily registers your fingerprint with the case on! This should have been mentioned in the update information!?
