Xperia Z5 :: WiFi Does Not Always Connect When Move Back Into Range
Jul 3, 2010
I've just got the Z5 and have noticed that when I out of wifi range and then move back into coverage in at home it does not alway connect and either stays with no data or stays of mobile data it that was on. Even get this at work with wireless there. My previous phone the Samsung s4 and even my rubbish works windows phone all work perfect moving between.
Why my xperia play having a difficulty connecting to a Wifi? while my brother's phone which is a Nokia phone can easily connected, we try to connect to the same wifi connection but my xperia play can't connect it says that "Not in range" even though I'm sitting next to my brother and his phone was connected.
When I leave the house and come back it doesn't automatically connect to WiFi.I've changed the 2.4 and 5ghz to manual with no joy, its back to auto now.
Unfortunatley I have just had to pick up a replacement Z3.
With this one, I am having issues with the WIFI range. Where with my old one I could get WIFI in the garden (Router is in the living room on the first floor) and at work I sit the furthest away from the router, but again on my old Z3 I had no issues. This new one, as soon as I leave the living room the signal drops and disconnects, and at work the WIFI only connects as I walk past the router.
Well a quick look at the volume on the Google forums shows this is not just my problem and it seems to be common to all Android phones. After moving out of range, the WiFi will not reconnect when back in range, i.e. moving between 2 locations that are remembered just shows the WiFi scanning then disconnecting all the time. Turning WiFi on and off causes it to request an IP address and then all is fine.I held off complaining about this until after the 2.1 update which I did yesterday, but no change.
In the interim I have installed a WiFi toggle app which does the job but this is such a fundamental issue it should have been 100% bulletproof from day one. After all probably 99.99% of all users are connecting via WiFi? and its the reason a smartphone is purchased. my daughters iPhone moves seamlessly between routers so its an Android problem.
Out of the blue my phone is not connetcting to my office wifi. It keeps showing that the network is out of range even when my ipod and all of my colleagues are able to get a clear and strong connection. I had updated my phone to ICS a few days back. Could it be because of this?
I am just sitting on my office desk, 2 meters from the router all day. But the phone keeps connecting to mobile data and just takes 5 kb of data for 20 -30 times a day. I fiddled with automatic background data settings, with no success.
It keeps saying that it's out of range when I'm right next to it. I have to restart my phone in order for it to see it's in range. Not only mine but the one I use at work and Starbucks.
Whenever I leave WiFi range, BIS completely cuts out until I turn off and back on the mobile network. How do I fix this issue? It's incredibly annoying. I shouldn't have to turn off WiFi before I leave the house, the phone should just know to switch to mobile data if there's no connection on WiFi.
i have iPhone 4, iOS 5.1, Modem Firmware 04.12.01 and im facing an issue on Wifi zone. its only working within the 3 Meter Zone of Wifi. i tried it on many differetn Wifi Routers (including Cisco Aironet, Linksys, Juniper Wifi) but its didnt work outside 2-3 meters.
Recently, in the past couple of days, my iPhone 5 will not connect to my airport extreme to my home network unless it is within 15 feet of the router. This is an extremely short range. My parents' and sister's iPod touch and iPhones work perfectly fine. They have the same range as they always have. What is wrong with my device? I have tried resetting my modem and airport in multiple different orders. I hard reset my iPhone. I powered it off, then back on. Turned wifi off and on
I switched to Cricket from Virgin Mobile so I could go back to Windows with the 1320. In my 1st month with them I went over my 2.5 GB of data with about a week left in the month. In five years with VM I can count on one hand the times I went over 1.5 GB with them. Checking my data usage on Cricket's website I see 1-3 entries per day detailing my usage, some with very large amounts of data. Cricket CS tells me that my device uses their network first and Wi-Fi 2nd.
So in other words when I'm at home and connected to my home wi-fi the device will use Cricket's data even though it's connected to my Wifi. To fix this they told me I have to manually disable data from their network when I don't want to use it. Now this makes no sense to me since the 3 Android phones I've had did not do this once I connected to Wi-Fi the carrier's data was disabled. I think there must be a setting on the phone that must wrong that is keeping this from happening other that what Cricket CS told me. The way they explained it to me Wi-fi is useless because their data would be used regardless if it's connect or not.
I had an M8 and switched over to the M9 due to my camera sensor constantly buzzing not able to focus. The Wi-Fi range on my M9 isn't as strong as the M8. I was able to get on the internet and used internet-based apps with my previous phone while in bed but I can't with the new one.
With all of my previous Android devices, I could go into my wifi setting and get to a list of ALL saved networks, even if they are out of range. From there I could tell the device to forget old/random networks that I don't plan to connect to regularly (e.g. coffee shops, doctor's offices, etc). I haven't been able to find that ability on my Galaxy S6.
When I go to wifi settings, I get a list of all networks in range, and I can tap (or long press) and forget those. But I can't find anyway to get to a list of saved networks that are out of range.
I had tried a lot of times to connect mi xperia ray to pc companion via wifi, the device's driver is installed correctly but when I select the computer in trusted devices for wireless media transfer , pc-companion says the connection is not done properly, says there was an error. I have the official rom 2.3.3?

I can't able to connect Internet using WiFi..I connected to an open connection the status of conn. shows signal strength - good, speed - 54 Mbps, I uncheck the data enabled option in mobile networks menu, But still I can't able to connect thru WiFi.
Just a question regarding the wifi. It works fine but when I am at my brothers house and using his wifi it will only connect to the Internet for a few pages or communications via whatsapp etc., then I have to turn off and on the wifi to go again. He had the same problem with his phone which was also a x10 but he has no problem since he got the new Arc. His wifes iphone also works fine.
I've had an experia ray since Sept 2011 and have problems connecting to my wifi at home since. I'm now on my third handset as my phone provider think that will fix the problem.
I've googled this problem and tried the static IP address route which didn't help. I've reset the phone, done a phone repair, removed and re-enabled security on my router. Nothing helps.
The problem seems to be that the phone continually scans for new networks, so it will connect to my wireless, scan for new, disconnect then reconnect constantly. So if I try access anything web based, I maybe have to try 5 or 6 times before I'm lucky enough for it to be trying right at the moment it's connected.

My x8 somehow cant connect to public wifi i.e mc donalds, starbucks etc. but it connects perfectly fine to my router at home..can anyone tell me how i could connect my x8 while i'm using the public wifi ?
I've typed in the correct password for my network, but when I click connect, the wifi status says 'connecting' then 'disconnected'. I have tried using Satic IP and also adding a wifi network, but they don't seem to make a difference!
