Hi everyone,
I have a really annoying issue for a while and I hope someone can have a suggestion.
When i turn hot-spot on, my phone freezes and reboots itself, so i cannot use this feature, however if I connect it to my computer i can share my data by Bluetooth.
More annoying issue, if I try to connect to wi-fi when my data is on, it freezes and reboots again and after that I can connect, but if I disconnect somehow, it reboots again. When I turn the airplane mode on, there is not a problem..
Has anyone of you experienced such issue?
Thanks
Sounds like a corrupt system, probably network driver or baseband
SInce you don't mention anything else I suppose you're on stock ROM , still locked bootloader, no magisk and all that. Simpliest way if your not familiar with ROM and boatloader handling is probably to do a total reset to start with followed by an update. Xperia Companion can be used.
If you're famiiar with ROM handling you may get the latest ROM from XperiFirm which you flash with Newflasher

Hi pergoteborg,
Thank you a lot for your concern.
You are right, I am on stock ROM. I have tried to do a total reset, but it didn't work.
Moreover, I am living in Italy and using Tim Italia, few days ago I was in Austria and in there I did not have any problem when I connected to an Austrian operator. I tried with a different TIM sim card in Italy, it was same. I will try with a different operator as well, but I have not had time yet.
Does it pop up anything on your mind about what could cause such a strange problem?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

I am writing in desperation.
My Xperia Active is about 3 months old.
It is the ST17a version but that has never made much difference to anything else.
It has been unlocked via testpoint method so warranty is not valid (plus they don't sell this phone in my country anyway).
Phone randomly reboots when it is not plugged in to power, especially when trying to bring the phone out of lockscreen standby, after using any GPS function or just unlocking the phone
The fact that this WILL NOT happen when plugged in to power is telling me perhaps it is a power management issue.
Things I have tried so far: COMPLETE REFLASH formatting all available mounts from recovery mode + format SD card and start fresh.
Combinations:
1.Spartan Rom 1.9.5 + non-oc kernel
2. Spartan Rom + Rage Kernel
3. Different baseband versions including original (56??), .66 and .62 (currently have .62 installed)
4. EX MIUI + ST17 satsuma kernel
Reboots still happen with all of the above configs
The problem started suddenly whilst using GPS SportyPal pro + Bluetooth music I have previously not had any problems in this area but now they will not stop.
I did not experience any reboots with CM9 but I did not stay in that rom very long as there was way too much stuff not working on my handset - it probably would have happened eventually. Sometimes I can get over half a day of usage without a reboot but then will get like 5 in a row.
I absolutely LOVE this phone but I bought it primarily for sports tracking and it keeps crashing and losing my workouts so I'm getting pretty pissed off.
If anybody can tell me what to look at to try and track this down I would really appreciate it. Checking logcats are no good because it will never reboot whilst plugged in to USB. Are there any other logs I should check???
OK - if not any help to identify the cause - can anyone comment on repair cost @ sony service center out of warranty?
Try fully stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware, some other phones had issues with restarting all the time also, this firmware is known to fix this.
SOLVED - have carried out 5 days of testing.
I can confirm the latest version of MIUIex has addressed my reboot woes.
Have been running reboot logger 1.9 on the phone since then and have not had a single unexpected reboot. I am a happy camper.
Not sure if perhaps there is/ was a common driver or something that was causing these problems between a few of the up to date roms - I am just happy the issue seems to have passed for now.
And it's back. I switched back to Telstra, that means back to 850mhz band, reboots are back with vengeance. Might need to try and find a st17a specific Rom and radio.

Wow, thanks!
Seems to have done the trick but now is back to vanilla flavour - seems the rooting process has gotten ridiculous lately, I wonder if it would be easier to pull this ftf to pieces and insert the radio detials etc into another rom file.
For now I guess I will use stock phone unrooted, at least it won't reboot.
THanks for your help!
i have also had that problem. I flashed the sti7a ics version and it is gone, after that you can use any rom without any prob.

No prob..
You can flash any custom ROM you want, if it start rebooting again then get back to Stock..

I had the same problem, it used to happen when signal was scarce or absent, i solved by getting a new sim card
Hello,
So yesterday I just solved my own issue of not getting any LTE signals by reinstalling the FW.
Today, I followed the advice of a user to restart the phone using PWR + VOL UP buttons to get the smoothness back. I did just that, phone became smooth again with the phone registering on LTE network.
But what happens now? I can't connect to Mobile Data AND can't make phone calls. I can run USSD code to check my balance and can receive calls just fine but cannot make phone calls.
Any ideas? Do I need to reinstall the FW again?
Model: D6503 FW: .314
Try flashing the baseband for your firmware and see if the problem persists.

I actually tried repairing it via Sony PC Companion application on the PC but to no effect. I'm suspecting it could be a HW issue but what baffles me is that it used to work fine (apart from the LTE issue) and only after I tried repairing it yesterday did everything work correctly and wham in the morning this happened.
try to flash the latest FTF again using flash tool..and check if it can help
Good day,
I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9305 LTE and I have been using this device without problems for around 2 years now. It runs on Jellybean 4.3 baseband version i9305zhucnb1. It has been running on this firmware for a couple months now ever since it has been rolled out. The problem is, the WIFI suddenly stopped working. Never had this problem before and I actually never had any problems with this device ever. Whenever I turn on WIFI, it detects my home networks and other networks wherever I go but whenever I try to connect, it just shows saved secured, and sometimes authentication error after a couple of attempts. I have other WIFI devices at home and all are working perfectly. I tried forgetting the networks and I am positive that the WIFI password is correct. I tried to restore the device to facroty settings hoping that it would work. I tried accessing my router and I'm sure my device isn;t blocked. I even configured my routers to only accept the mac address of my device and block all others but still wouldn't connect. I tried rooting my device via odin but my device blocks root access and shows the error message "an application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. this attempt has been blocked.". I tried rooting it to try flashing custom roms. I also tried dialling *#0011# to configure my wifi but it still does not work. I don't think that the problem is my firmware because I had it for months and it didn't update before the issue occured. I was also about to try downgrading it to an ICS stock rom since I can't root it to try custom ROMs. I've been trying to fix this for days now. Can you guys give me a step by step instruction on how to fix this if it is at all possible? And maybe give me a link where I can download ICS or lower stock ROM's for this device. I think I have to use a TGY firmware, though I don't have an idea what it means. Thanks!
Wifi module
Maybe you've dropped your phone and the WIFI module loosened, and it can't work correctl?

Maybe it's time for factory reset? I know that's the easy solution and most complicated but you should do it from time to time.

Well, i think this may be the time to perform a complete factory reset ! try backing up your data and perform a complete factory reset.

i decided to have it checked by a local technician and according to them, this was still a software issue. i dont know what to do anymore. they insisted that i should just keep flashing stock roms to fix these. already tried flashing the 4.3 tgy jellybean stock rom so i was thinking of flashing other version stocks. can anyone give e a good link where i can download tgy stock roms 4.1.2 or even ICS stock roms. I also am having problems with rooting the device. it gives me error message "an application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. this attempt has been blocked." after flashing autoroot in odin. my knox is not installed. thanks.

dont know
the first time i brought this to them is when i attempted to flash an incompatible firmware. they also did not fix it. they said they dont have any available stock rom for i9305 and told me to download and flash one. mayba im just gonna have to look for a different technician when i have free time. so for the mean time, im trying to look for other fixes. btw, i tried downloading a tgy 4.1.2 stock rom and it does not flash successfully. for now i'm thinking of rooting and flashing custom roms. but whenever i flash auto root. it gives me the error message "an application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. this attempt has been blocked.". i tried updating supersu still the same thing. i manually installed root checker and says it does not have root access and it shows the said error message again. what should i do with that? Thanks
So I'm not sure what I did because it's been a while since I messed around with this phone (bought a Honor 8 Pro after that), but I most likely flashed something wrong. So the first weird thing is that apparently my device went from "griffin" to "sheridan", not sure how that's possible. The second thing is that when I flash a stock ROM, I have no wifi (it doesn't detect any network) and in settings it says my IP Address is unavailable. I tried nearly everything. Resetting WiFi settings, rebooting, reflashing stock ROM etc. Nothing seems to work. Help please?
My phone says sheridan too when i boot in bootloader mode. Anyone know whats os this?

Most likely you have flashed incorrect firmware. But this problem is common even with locked/stock devices, possibly could get fixed in the next update. The problem is that there is no way to downgrade firmware (otherwise this can be fixed by flashing 7.0 stock rom including firmware)
Downgrading the Firmware isnt a problem. Downgrading the bootloader and gpt isn't possible. Anyhow, my wifi and BT are broken too and going down to 7.0 and than installing all OTAs won't fix my issue.
Currently running the latest Pixel Experience ROM and it's solid overall.
But, I have experienced a super weird bug or glitch concerning the wifi and how it connects.
On the stock MIUI setup WiFi was solid and stable, didn't even have to give it a second thought. However, after rooting and ROMs the WiFi capabilities are seriously weird.
On both LineageOS and PixelExperience, whenever I try to to connect to my WiFi network, the phone takes down the whole network. And I mean the whole thing. It just tanks the network into restarting and I have no idea why. It should not happen, but it does.
And to actually connect the WiFi, I need to turn it on and off at least 3 times to get it to connect. But once it does connect it stays connected. It's pretty annoying when I go out and come home and the phone has to jump through these hoops just to get WiFi working properly.
I don't think that it has to do with the Pixel Experience ROM because I've updated it twice now and the problem still persists, so I'm just left thinking that maybe it has something to do with the vendor firmware that I used at the time when I was getting things set up.
Any thoughts? Would be a huge help!

Sounds good!
But quick questions, when flashing the new vendor firmware do I have to wipe anything? Or can I just download it and flash? And will flashing the new vendor firmware wipe my phone?
Thanks for the help again!

Just download and flash..no need to wipe anything. It will not delete your data too..
Edit: if your data not encrypted, you'll need to flash dfe (disable force encryption) as flashing vendor will encrypt your data.
