WIFI/Bluetooth Issue - EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING

I am having this horrible issue with my Wifi and bluetooth.
1. WIFI: When I turn on WiFi after a reboot it works flawlessly, connects to my wifi network and I can zoom around the net just dandy. As soon as I go out of range of WiFi or manually disconnect it it will NOT turn back on it says "Unable to start Wifi" until I do a full reboot. So annoying.
2.) Bluetooth: When connecting to my Headset it connects just fine after a reboot. HOWEVER, after pairing, if I put the X10 standby with the powerbutton before making a call it will drop the bluetooth audio connection and only play sound through the earpiece. Even though it SAYS it's still connected and paired. And THEN when I shut off bluetooth and try to turn it back on, pretty much the same as the wifi thing except I get no error message it just tries to initiate bluetooth and then sits for a few minutes and then I guess gives up and keeps the bluetooth shut off without any indication of failure.
I'm guessing it's defective but if anyone has had this issue, please speak up! And even better if you know how to solve it. Thanks!! =)

I too am having the same issue with wifi. Also my x10 is superslow on my wifi @ times. So i run a speedtest and I get 3MB, which is fast, but the phone isn't using that speed while browsing the internet.

Hello,
I experienced the same thing as you. Moreover I have a trouble with Bluetooth in my car. After few seconds (around 1 minute) of talk, I don't loose the BT connexion but nobody understand me !!!

Have you tried your BT?

Have you got a task killer running that's killing your bluetooth and wifi?

Annoyances and bugs in Xperia X2 MR2-Release [Updated 3 July 2010]

Hi all!
I started again a new thread where i write down my findings in the MR2 release of the X2. It's originally on the Esato-forums, so i just put the link over here:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=196737

Nice THKS.

7. When hanging up a phonecall, the phone makes three loud beeps via the rear speaker. WHY???
same here... but only if the person u talk to hangs up first. its so annoying.

YEp, and having the phone on silent does not make things better either...

Fix
i used registry editor and changed the value of calldrop from p(play) to none.

Rene,
when you hear 3 tones after call finish - is bluetooth activated in this moment for your x2? For example, do you use BT connection to your X2 in your car (handsfree)? Do you think that there is some special requirements for BT headset using to generate this sound on main unit if call was finished?
when you see bad power consumption results - is wifi activated in communication manager in your X2? I think that if you activate wifi - it can be reason for huge additional current if unit can't find appropriate wifi network for some reason.
For example, I found that if I activate wifi - I always should connect unit to charger every day. Then I found that this is specific issue only for me. The specific way of my wifi using is followed - I use 2 different wifi connections to my X2 (on home - secured network through router and in office - open wifi network). I do have connection issues every morning in office and every evening in home. Even if my X2 reports that it's connected to office network - I can see in status bar in Today screen that it's trying to conect again and again - and also I can't use browser or Goggle maps because no data connection is available through wifi. After I power off/on my unit - it can really connect to office wifi network and I can use browser and receive mails e t.c. When I return to home, I see that unit still be connected to office network - but it's impossile. And again - I can't use browser or receive mails by using my X2. After I power off/on unit - it can connect to home network. I can't fix issues in office and in home just turn off/on wifi in communication manager - issue still be actual after this. So, what I do every day - I turn off/turn on my unit every morning after arrive to office and again power on/ power off unit every evening when arrive home So I should spent 2 minutes every morning and 2 minutes every evening to reboot unit. On other hands I think that this is step to avoid more serious issues after couple of days of Windows using - you know usially you can see performance degradation after 1 week of using of any WinMob device - looks like this is result of lot of memory leaks, memory corruptions inside MSFT SW.
if we are talking about unexpected password issue or issue when you can't unlock unit by LOCK icon sliding left or right after press on power on button - for me it looks like memory is corrupted in MSFT lock app. As result some password is requested even if user never activates this password for lock screen. But it's clear that in reality, unit doesn't story in memory any password to compare with entered one - otherwise after power off/on sequency unit still ask password from you. But as I see in the same situation with my X2 - after I remove/insert battery and power on unit - I never see again this issue just after unit goes to Idle.
I think that memory, which is used by MSFT Lock code, can be corrupted only in scope of the same Windows process (of cause if memory is isolated for all processes in WinMob - I hope it's true) - so only other MSFT code can corrupt this memory. Do you know about any public forum where we can ask help from MSFT to see in this issue? I never see that Aaron wrote anything about any contacts in MSFT - but I think that MSFT should be also responsible for any product if Windows logo is applyed to device with WinMob?
To reduce the probability of this issue I never use AutoLock and always lock unit by click on Lock icon in Today panel or by long press on right HW kwy (with key sign).

thank youuu

wifi
Hi! I have a similar issue with the wifi that PanichUS described.
The phone sees the network, tells that it's available, but I am not able to connect to it (so I can not do internet browsing, read the emails, etc.)
This happened to me while switching from one network to another, which were in two different places (and the phone was showing the network still available of the place I have already left). But in my case rebooting the phone did not help.
This is not the only case. The same thing also happens to me after I use bluetooth. The phone is connected to the wifi network (I could do internet browsing, etc.), I use bluetooth, and after that I can no more recover the connection. Again it shows that the network is available, but I can not connect to it.
The only thing which helped by now was restarting my house router.
Is the MR2 the last release of the firmware by date? I have bought my phone recently, and for me it seems that it was updated: I have radio, and the theme with grey background (X2 Titan) was activated in the very beginning.

MR2 is last update for X2. Don't wait another update.
Try turn off Wifi in Communication manager before power off and turn on Wifi back in Communication manager after power on.

Wifi
I have discovered that in fact I don't have problem to connect when using an open network, while with the protected one is always an issue.
Reboot of the phone doesn't change anything even if before doing it I switch off wifi in the connections manager and delete all the settings. Nothing - only reset of the router what helps.
I also tried to use other software (Wifi Monster) - the same thing.
The phone is really wonderful, it really has it's spirit with all these panels and generally the interface, but the wifi issue is really annoying!

My advice - don't install Resco Photo manager on X2.
Great app but works very bad on X2.

I instaled older version Resco.Photo.Manager 7.03. This work good.
Wisbaradvance 4.05 is verry unstable,problems and problems.

[Q] WhatsApp never stays connected on WIFI

Alright, this is a frustrating issue that I've been having since day 1 with WhatsApp, and it's not even just SGS4, but with my old SGS too.
Problem:
Phone screen turns off while on WIFI, after a while of inactivity, WIFI still seems to run, but WhatsApp lost connection and takes a long time to reconnect, and usually requires a full restart of WIFI.
This does not happen on 3G for me, it only happens when WIFI is active.
Things tried:
- Turn off 3G entirely, so it only runs on WIFI.
- Reinstall WA
- Restart phone.
- Do a clean install of firmware (on my old SGS).
- Test it out on new phone~ (Brand new SGS4 i9505)
I don't know what's causing this, can anyone please help me figure this out? Let me know if you need more info.

is your router set to "always connected" or does it disconnect after sometime if no data comes in?
maybe i'm wrong but if it's only a wifi problem you maybe should look into your router settings.

Already looked into that.
Weird part is that Skype stays connected perfectly fine, but WhatsApp never does.

Please search a bit, this has been answered just a day ago.

[Q] WhatsApp Issues on GS4

Le Pro Bluetooth Issue?

Recently noticing the Bluetooth
Doesn't turn on from the quick settings
Or the Bluetooth Settings.
Anyone else experience this?
Any known fixes or advice?

No problem here, and I have been using it almost every day for about a month

yah, no problem here either. I guess you already tried rebooting the device....

I have had issues like that with BT, reboot resolved the issue. Seems like the software on this phone is not good at handling sustained connections, WiFi or Bluetooth. I see wifi also being disconnected and re-connected quite often.

My X727 shipped with 18s and got the two OTAs to 20s recently. Never had any problems with Wifi or BT connections - music streaming in car and phone calls. Might depend on how your AP environment is set up since I've never noticed issues with sustained connections.
Sometimes I would notice the cellular data connection drop out and require restart, but nothing with Wifi or BT.

Thank you everyone for your input..
A reboot usually fixes this..
But really shouldn't have to resort to that every time

I've had issues with the BT when going from my car to BT headphones, where it will connect for phone audio but not media audio. Turning BT of then back on again "fixes" it, but it's a minor hassle. When I first updated to 20s, BT wouldn't turn on, but a reboot corrected that and I hadn't had any issues with toggling BT on and off since.

This happened once, reboot solved the issue. I used to use bluetooth a lot, but rarely now as my current car HU doesn't have BT. Didn't have any problems when I used it a lot.

I've had the same issue for the past couple weeks. It only seems to have this issue with the cars BT. It may be a minor annoyance, but it can cause some big issues seeing as how messing with your phone can get you pulled over now.

I have this issue. I use Bluetooth in my cars and Android wear. I never notice an issue in the car. But sometimes I'll notice on my android wear watch that's it's disconnected from the phone. I'll check the phone and Bluetooth is off and won't turn on. A reboot usually fixes it. Odd.

Same issue here

This seemed to go away for me when I turned off all of the aggressive memory management features.

The updates seem to have fixed this though..
I can't turn on Bluetooth from the quick access menu or even if its on.. its doesn't show on the quick access menu..
Anyone notice that lately?

Seems to be not working even if you turn off and try to turn on from the quick access menu. I am on 21s.

The following fixed it for me:
Dial *#*#46360000#*#* and uncheck 'Enable background resource control'.​
Reboot

Scanning Settings
I think y'all should try disabling Bluetooth Scanning in Location Settings. It is a problem in the stock ROM as well as LineageOS ROM(which I am currently using).
Just try disabling Bluetooth Scanning in Location Settings (three dot menu)..... I'm sure it'll help.

Those posts were made over a year ago. They figured it out already.

It's 2018 and I have the same issue. What do I do?:crying:

I got auto bluetooth tethering working, or did I..?

So today I installed my new Eonon GA2185. I was hoping it would be able to tether my phone's internet on bluetooth automatically, without ever having to manually activate bluetooth or hotspot or something like that. It's a mythical function. Some say it's impossible, you'll always have to click at least one button to connect your head unit to the interwebs, some say it's a built in function.
When turning on the radio for the first time and connecting it to my phone's bluetooth I was so desperately hoping it would also borrow its internet, and apparantly it did! There was no wifi network, just bluetooth and I managed to visit some webpages and perform a speedtest (< 1Mb/s, but hey it was something!).
Unfortunately, after customising the unit with all my preferences, apps, accounts and appearances, I lost the bluetooth tethering. It simply stopped working. It only works on wifi now. Anyone know how to get it back or enable it in the first place? I've already reset it to factory settings but that didn't do it.
This unit works on bluetooth 4.0. Does the difference between 4 and 5 matter a lot in this aspect?

Ive got the same problem, I have the same unit as you.
I had it working when I first installed the unit, it just came on automatically when I entered the car. But since a firmware upgrade I cant get it to connect anymore! It was great for Spotify and maps.
If you manage to find a way let me know!

I believe I factory reseted everything again after updating. Then I tried connecting bluetooth first and then WiFi. For some reason that worked (after I rebooted the device, it would turn on wifi but my phone's wasn't broadcasting, and then it automatically switched to bluetooth).
I also noticed that whenever the unit was powered on, an extra setting in my iPhone appeared called 'Ethernet', which apparanly means that it's tethering through bluetooth. Not sure if Android has a similar way of showing.
