WiFi problem, dissconects all the time...

Hi!
Bought a Tattoo for my kid and now we got a huge bill because the wifi seems to dissconects itself all the time and she is not that good checking the wifi state.
Is this a known problem or what can i do about it?
Using a Netgear N router and WEP (must use WEP because of my stupid XBox that can't handle any other security).
Please let me know how to fix this so she can use the phone!

I have this problem too, and as I found it's a known problem on net.
I'm using wifi fixer, which running as a service and reconnect everytime the connection drops. It's not a solution, but make things better.

Hi!
Thanks for the info, is that an app i can find on the Android's app place?
he he he.... did not notice your link Sorry!
Looks to me that HTC is screwing things up even with Android devices...

This phone realy sucks!
Me again!
I've struggled with this phone a couple of hours now but i can't get the wifi to work now.
I press connect to my network, i have entered the wep password but a couple of secs later it says disconnected...
What can i do about this?

I have the same problem - Is it best to configure the Wi Fi settings like IP address etc ? And if so whats the best settings for it?

I've managed to get it to connect now, removed an app that kept track of wifi traffic. But it seems to me that Tattoo does not use wifi when i use YouTube for example. Checked my providers homepage for traffic that we pay for and they had traffic for today. And the phone has not been used all day until my test this evening.
Is there a way to tell the phone to use just the wifi connection when using youtube app or explorer...?

install apn on-off when you use wifi, just disable APN connection.
then if you need umts/gprs is 1click enabled

Thanks, this sounds easy enough for my kid to handle when she wants to use the wifi and to be sure that it uses the wifi and not the expensive data from our phone company.
Thanks again! Will try this!

Wifi network connection issues

I'm still having wifi (not 3G) network connection issues and hoping someone can help.
I tried enabling wifi on the phone to stay active all the time (never sleep), enabled static setting and I always end up have to manually reconnect to the my wifi router. I've even tried some stay alive wifi apps and nothing seems to work. Nothing always me to stay connected and re-connect automatically to my wifi router. It's very frustrating.
I sometimes loose wifi when phone comes out of sleep or when I go out of range and then re-enter my wifi coverage area, it's won't automatically reconnect to wifi.
Any ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Don't know if the 'fixmywifi' app can help.. hope it can!

He thx for the suggestion, but I'm not referring to the 3G network (such as it is!), but rather local wifi. BTW: I do have the 3G setting entered on my phone

Well still not within 100%. Man what's with this X10 and wifi.
I had a look for that fixmywifi app Mobzter recommended and can't find it.

Probably a stupid question, but when you go to:
Settings -> Wireless settings -> Wifi Settings -> Advanced (Menu button to access this) -> Wifi Sleep Policy
Does it still say "Never" like you want it to or has it reverted back to a different option?

I've tried never, and other setting, and as a matter of fact seems to work better in a sleep setting. Maybe it's my wireless router, but I believe this is a common issue with the X10.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App

I never had issues with wifi on my x10... until I did a hard reset on my router. I started to have problems connecting to my router. I figured out that if my router has WEP protection on, my x10 would have a hard time connecting. If I switch to WEP2, everything went fine. I dont see how switching from WEP to WEP2 solved my problem, but give it a try

If your still looking for Fix My Wifi it's Here along with other apps that you could try.

Interesting, I'm actually using WPA2, not WEP at all.
What router setting are others using?

[Q] wifi problem with 2.1

wifi problem with 2.1 seem the same as x10. Cutting wirles on week signal. Any other have the same problem?
youtube.com/watch?v=wT3gruYWWVo
blog.se-nse.net/xperia-x10-wifi-bug-cause-found/
The bug Im pertaining is that the connection fail for seemingly no reason, even whil in use, then reconnect and operate normally after 10-20 seconds or so.
Sent from my E15i using XDA App

I had this problem on 1.6 and still have it on 2.1.
I don't get it though. My phone behaves better with some wireless hotspots than others.

Moved to general.

That isnt bug.
Phone says that router isnt in range because mobile cant find it in first second.
PS I dont have that problem.

The problem is that the ruter is in range and the connection is at 30% then I try to download somting from net or retrive somting from dropbox and the wifi connection broke for 2-5 sec. and then it connect again.. all day long.
I try to change SIDD, chanel and the problem is the same. The problem is that wifi shout down and restarts.

Repair your softwer.

software is 2.1 rus. flashed 4 time and the problem persist. now im back to 1.6 (rooted) and waiting for the wifi to go mad ;-)

can help for you a new (not from original site) firmware in your router (dd-wrt) - serch HERE

try changing security mode on your routter from wep to wap and vice versa it might help

I'm having problem with the wifi too. Icon is there, but connection is lost. I have to refresh the page multiple times before wifi starts to work again. I configured my wifi setting to never...It's making me mad because I didn't have this problem on 1.6...
And it happens in close range to the router with full signal. I hear that lots of people have this kind of problem...

Yup, I am having it. I can be right next to my wifi hotspot, and it still drops.
But like I said, other routers seem to work better with my phone than others, strangely.

Xperia "Limited Connectivity" problem on Wi-fi

Hello. I'm new to xda. I have problem with my Xperia X10i. When I try connect to a wi-fi network it take forever to get its ip adreses and i don't know if it succeeds or not because after that is say's connected with limited connectivity. I have searched the web and xda but nobody has a solution to this problem. I am running Android 2.3.3 updated through SEUS. Not rooted or anything. What can I do?

I had the same problem, so I feel your pain. Go into android market search wifi fix..if the app doesn't solve the problem,reset the router. Hope this helps.

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

the only issue i am having with wifi sense ive had this phone has been connecting to linksys wireless N routers. i have turned off N functionality of the router using b/g only but all the phone does is alternation between "scanning/disconnected" doesnt try to obtain IP address or anything. its only those routers i have issues with. belkin wireless N works fine (with N turned off of course)

I had a similar problem, I solved it with wifi fix, thanks.

If you updated your x10 through the SEUS...its probably problem on your wifi router..try to reset settings and power off your router..

Okay, so I'm trying to help a guy with his Xperia X10a. He doesn't have wifi working and does not a have an account for the phone so no 3G. He needs to download wifi fix, can he just download it on his computer and then tether it and sideload?

1.make sure that ur access point has internet access.
2.if there's no server then ask ur ISP about static IP & gateway
3.if there's a server..then ask if u can get a static IP
4.also try "forget" then reconnect and if the wifi with a password then it might be wrong

don't connect ur modem in bridge mode.......

Still not working
I have tried the wi-fi fix app and nothing changed. I have found a temporary solution in witch you use static ip on your phone. But this solution is just for home because in a pub or any free hotspot it still doesn't work. Now I have flashed CM7 to my x10 and the wi-fi seems to work a little bit better but not perfect. And the wi-fi range is also poor on X10 compared to a Iphone 3GS or even a Optimus Black.

Orginally yes poor range..don't compare to a s60 nokia phone

i think problem is your wi fi modem , try to setting your modem again ,
Go to setting >Wireless > Security
and
Select SSID: Modem Name
Network Authentication: Open
WEP Encryption: Enabled
Encryption Strength: 128
Current Network Key: 1 ( up to you )
Network Key 1: xxxxxxxx ( 13 characters ) and try again to connect

Open app drawer>>Settings>>Wireless and Network>>Wi-Fi settings>>(now tap first soft key to see options)>>select advanced.
Now just tap on Wi-Fi sleep than tap on "Never"
Actually as the screen turns off wifi too turns off with that.
Hope it fixes your issue.

Sometimes I too have similar problem with my xperia. But the problem disappear after rebooting the phone and/or router.
I think it related to your phone's uptime. As the more the uptime, the memory tends to be fragmented and it has impact to wifi drivers (?).

it happens regardless of the never option

I think the issue is with wireless N and if you have a belking router it may be an issue ...dumb ur router down to only b/g and this should change the outcome

Solved
Guys hang on looks like a found a solution to this crap.
I carefully observed what happened when my wifi turned off automatically. My phone flashed a message "Get IP address fail, please check wifi password or wifi app status"..
I thought of making my wifi setting from dynamic to static. I used "ipconfig/all" in my cmd to get the details for setting up static ip. i rebooted both my phone and router. And bang!!! It has not been showing the problem now.! I've been using it for 10 minutes now at a stretch ( for the first time).. Am happy and hope that it doesnt recur. Will let u guys know , if the prob comes back!
