Hi there!
So, I have a little problem with my second phone. The problem now is that I can't find any WiFi networks when I search for one. I have always had connection here home, and it works fine on my XS.
I don't want to restore or flash anything because the reason I need WiFi is to back up the bookmarks I got on the Dolphin Browser that is installed on the phone.
I also want to say that I don't have any SIM-card in the phone because I'm using that one in my XS, but that should not affect WiFi as far as I know.
I'm running Android 2.3.3 and baseband 2.1.71.
So what could the problem be?
Thanks in advance!
What rom have you installed, if so, do you have the right kernel and wifi modules? any details of what you have installed?
Are other pc's or mobiles at home able to perform a search for wifi networks and see the SSID of the router?
Upps.. sorry for leak of info.
I'm running stock ROM. Yeah, I have the right kernel and WiFi modules. The phone have worked well before.
Yes. This phone is the only one who can't find any WiFi networks. It sucks! Never had this issue before.
I am having the same issue. Just started the other day. My phone will not find a wifi network unless it is sitting next to the router. If I am over 5 feet away it just says searching and not in range.
Any thoughts?
Okay, just stood 1 meter from the router, still it didn't find any wifi connections!
This sucks!
When you go to wifi settings and activate it, does the tick apply to the box(enabled) or does not do anything?
It doesn't sound nice. if you are sure that you are running Sony ericsson original software (no custom roms, kernel and else) then try to do a factory reset from the menu, if it doesn't do anything then use SEUS and reinstall the software.
This will prove that this is either or not a hardware fault. It is the best way to check. If it still doesn't work after SEUS reinstall, then it is definitely a fault. If it fixes it then congrats..
If it's a custom rom from here then forget seus and flash the rom again.
Screenshots are welcome if you have..(wifi settings, system info..)
Good luck
The tick apply to the box yes.
Okay, so I connected it to my PC and ran Update Service and did a fresh reinstall of the software. Still the same problem. Can't find any WiFi connections
Well you already know the answer..
Yeah I do.. Think I'm going back to the store with it and get it fixed. Also have some reboots problem that may be related to this..
Thanks for answer.
If you only need your bookmarks just put sim from XS in X10 and turn on and backup info and replace sim in XS.
EDIT: do you have unlocked bootloader? If yes u can try relocking it.

hello mister, I have a same issue with you.
my LWW cannot find a network althought I was sitting in front of the router and it says not in range.
but sometimes it can works well, but it often cannot work
still searching for the solutions
Think its the wifi antenna thats failing.
First I couldnt find any WiFi networks. I had it off for a few weeks (got my Xperia S xD) and when I tried it, it worked well.
So its not easy to find the solution for this.. It sounds like a hardware issue
Sry m8.

I have this issue with wifi. It's that when I'm at home, it won't connect at all to my wifi all I get is obtaining address and eventually unsuccesful, yet occasionally it does work. Then, when using other wifis, turning on wifi does make it connect and show the icon in the notification bar, but still, it won't always work. I try to get into the market but it says no network or something like that. Tried most web browsers, nothing works too. What can I do? My phone is rooted and flashed with bionix fusion rom, evn though this problem sometimes happened even with stock firmware, rooted and not rooted. What can I do? Can't really get a replacement because i bought it from overseas. HELP!!

Some routers are a tad dodgy, so it may not be the phone at all. Since we dont know what type of router or what sort of connection environment your in (how many wifi connections it's handling, etc...) it's hard to say. Still it's easier to replace a $30 router than it is a several hundred $$$ phone.
I said in the post itself that I tried more than one wifi aka router, most of them connected to a laptop and my phone at a certain time. Therefore I doubt the issue is the router. I think it's a bug. Is there no fix for this?
This is kind of a shot in the dark, but have you tried putting the phone in Airplane mode and then restarting the Wi-Fi? I've found that the cell data connection can sometimes interfere with my Wi-Fi.

I would put my money on the router, I have not seen anyone else complain about this who is running bionix. So a bug within bionix, I'm going to say no.
HOWEVER!!!!!! I had the same problem for a while. I have AT&T uverse and there 2WIRE router is total crap... I had the same exact problems as you PLUS it would not connect to my mac mini for more then a few seconds. I hooked up an older router I had laying around and BAM no more issues.
I got the same problem, but my phone is not rooted or flashed. Must be a system/software problem.

No really people, It's the routers you are using... not the phone...
I'm running on CM 9 on my Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman. For almost a month I haven't had a problem with my Wi-Fi connectivity. But, since the last 2-3 days, I'm having connectivity issues.
It says connecting then Obtaining IP Address and then loops around. It never gets connected. Can somebody please try helping me out with this.
P.S. I found some new_wifi_modules.zip and tried installing that but without any success so, apart from that, if you got any suggestion please help me out.
Thanks in Advance
Try change your kernel or Reinstall the rom

Does it happen randomly or in cetain locations? Wehn the phone has problems does also the wifi on the computer? My phone caused some troubles at home over the wifi network, it gets conflicting IPs with other pc's in the house so i had to do some router dhcp mapping

My girlfriends XU is acting up ultimately weird..
Since some time we have this problem:
Wi-Fi only works for about 3 minutes when connecting to a wifi signal, yet the wifi signal icon indicates as if it has a good connection. The only way to regain connection again is to reboot, but then the same problem repeats itself, after a few minutes wi-fi is not working anymore. Also in the wifi-indicator the "send" arrow works, the "receive" arrow doesn't.
Basically if you want to discover a new wi-fi connection you need to reboot the phone also, because otherwise the previous connected wi-fi signal remains (it freezes as stated before after about 3 minutes).
Tried a factory reset already.. Didn't work. The phone runs the stock sony android 4.0.4.
Any idea's ?

Does it happen with all routers or only with your router?
Have you tried to repair using SUS?
Someone one the official forum had a similar problem and it was fixed by repairing the phone using SUS.

Hi,
I have a problem with my Xperia P.
If i'm connected to a wifi network and then go away (lose range), it becomes impossible to turn wifi off. If i click the toggle, it shows it has turned off, but is still on and when i revisit the menu, the toggle appears to be on again.
Any advice on how to put this to a rest? I really don't have the nerves to do a factory reset and resintall/reconfigure everything...
edit: i have the stock ICS firmware and no root access.
Thanks,
M
Have you check it with power recycling?

Hi,
only a factory reset helped. I remebered that i have been trying out some tasker apps, so that must have messed things up. Even uninstalling these apps did not help, beware
I am having the same issue, but whats more I can't scan for new networks when entering a new area. It just shows the ones from the previous area with the strengths they had there.
Rebooting the phone helps to connect once but when I leave that area it's the same **** all over again.
I already brought my phone back to the shop where they sent it to sony for "an update" but nothing changed.
The phone is running the stock android 4.04 ICS
Any help would be greatly apreciated

usually this is from the wifi router setting ... might need to change the channels(1,6,8)....ICS has showed issues on wifi refreshing and reconnecting.. first change the channel from auto to fixed value and then restart your phone and try it again.. see if this helps.. also do let me know if you are on rooted device with custom rom or stock rom...??

In a last desperate attempt to fix it I tried fixing the firmware through PC companion again, and I didn't have any problems today so I'm hoping for the best.

Either you have to do factory reset or rebooting the device might help
Or you can delete all used existing Wi-Fi connection for starting a new Wi-Fi connection

Hello,
I,ve got that problem with my z1c for a long time. In fact, since i own this device.
It has a problem with connecting to the internet, lets say, every fifth attempt to connect. Then the icon changes constantly from h+ to 3g+ and back. You see its working, but it cant get the data from the net.
What i do then is, i switch off mobile-broadband and switch it on again and then it will work for some time.
But it can be very annoying and i still use my good ol z1c as my main phone, so it would be cool to fix this.
Its not the provider. No problem with that SIM-Card in other phones. Its stock-android 5.1.1
If you have an idea, please help
Some updates on the problem:
If i choose "WCDMA only" as my preferred Network-type the problem is solved. But then i cant get any connection if i'm in an area, where only EDGE network is available.

Back up your data and use Sony PC companion to reflash your firmware , probably you will fix that issue .

Already done my friend.
I once flashed a custom ROM on the phone. The internet was fine, but several other problems forced me back to stock-android. Flashed with the xperia companion.
Sadly this strange problem came back with stock-android.
Thats what is confusing me, too.
