My mobile's wifi is turned on & is connected to my modem & the internet connection is working perfectly fine, but the phone is unable to use wifi for more than a minute.

Everytime i turn off the wifi & turn on again, it works, like for a minute & gone. Signal strength is full. Though the upload, download arrows beside wifi icon in the notification shows me that only there's upload action but no download action.

I have done a settings reset as well, but the problem persists.

Is anybody sailing in my boat as well? (My SI No. 1261-6397, Location: Hyderabad, India)

Thanks a ton for the help mate

no problem, post your results

Nope, wifi is still the same even after a factory reset

its numb after a minute or so.... I have got no other problem, but this in my view is a biggy

i had this problem after update to ics from gb. to fix this i changed my router setting from b,g,n mixed to just b,g and changed chanel from auto to 1. it has been perfect ever since. seems it doesn't like wireless n. hope this helps you. another bug ive encountered is txt and email notification sound stops working after a few hours and you have to reboot to get it working again.

Please, can you explain that in detail?

Right now all i care for my mobile is active wifi cos i don't have a data connection & I rely only on wifi a lot.

sorry bud i was eating my tea. to get to the routers set up page on a windows pc. control panel then network and internet then view computers and devices you should then see your router, right click and then click view device webpage, from there you can change router settings. hope this helps. if you need any other info just message me.

It's done. Now i have a consistent wifi.

Thanks mate for the help.

I have a question, what if i wanted to use another wifi connection? As in shared ones like airport/coffee shops etc? I cannot change their wifi settings right

What then?

As of now all's well though, I wish sony could come out with a stable firmware at least this year.

sniperdeano

that's ok mate. glad it worked for you. not sure about shared connections as i havn't tried any yet. i wish for a stable firmware too but this is sony we are talking about
