Same here. It goes into an infinite loop and says obtaining ip adress again and again. Before the update, my wifi was ok, but my 3G was broken. So i'm not downgrading and waiting with a discomfort.

Btw unsecured and WEP networks are working, but the ones with the Authentication fails. My old phone was w810i and i was totally happy with it. I bought this Xperia last week and i feel a bit regretful.

try to perform some test, dial *#*#service#*#* go to service test>wlan.,

it still doesn't work, please consider a repair using SUS/PCC

be warned though, it will erase your phone's data, so make a backup of the important files.

I tried the settings reset and then the repair facility yesterday. Nothing changed.

I tried using static IP options, with other DNS options, with WPA, WPA2 Mixed, WPA2 AES, 802.11 B+G, 802.11 B only, 802.11 G only modes.

Just in the 802.11 G only, i could stay 4 minutes online and then it dropped.

I tried to reset the router and the phone.

I tried to update the router's firmware (CNET CAR-854)

I read some advice about re-enabling the ANT services applications, they didn't work.

nothing worked

I did the service test now, it says connect failed

Ok, but it is working fine in Android 2.3 ? All the people are experiencing this problem on the internet with some of the routers. Some phone companies fixed it(like allshare or something in samsung), some are not. I don't think that this is an hardware problem. You can search on google "obtaining ip address" . It looks like a common Android problem which needs a fix.

I'll try with other routers and i will report back as soon as i get chance, take care. i'm leaving now

Thi issue is not common. I have installed an ICS and since then the address is obtained almost instantly. 2x faster then in GB. Have you tried to connect do different router which have different settings ? I have read on forum that changing channels on router, or you can try different authentication method... may fix this issue as well.

i dont hink is an ICS issue, because I run ICS and doesn't have any major problem at all.

Have you repaired your phone after upgrading with pc companion ?

Try to repair with SUS.

I tried every authentication mode and channel and 802.11 setting(that i have, b only, g only, b+g), but can't get it working.(except non secured and WEP) But i didn't tried another router yet. I'll try that.

I repaired with PCC but I can't find repair section in SUS but, in SUS reinstalling means repair, am i right? I did it. Nothing changed. Maybe i should change my router. I'm going to look another wifi and try later.

I have the same problem after upgrading to ICS, wifi keeps trying to connect->Connects-> and then disconnects. Wifi was working fine on GB. If I try to connect to another wifi network in range it is sometimes able to connect to my own network afterwarts and stay connected. But the next time I get out of range and it has to reconnect it gets into the loop again.

I have seen the problem on several different networks ( routers ), but in different degree, some networks work most of the time, others almost never work.

I have repaired the SW after the upgrade without any change.

I hope that Sony is able to find and fix the problem.

I have just tried to change my wifi network to "No security" or WEP, then my phone connected without any problems.
