wifi problem

asplundj — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 06:39:07 GMT

I'm having problems with my wifi connection on my xperia go. The phone says it connects and shows a decent signal strength but I can't access the internet. To do this I have to first get "connected" to the wifi and then hold on my wifi name and hit "forget" and then log into again and write the WPA password. When I do this that wifi works quite well but everytime I get outside of range or turn the wifi off I have to repeat this procedure.

I did not have these problem on 6.0.B.3.182 but they appeared as soon as I "up"graded to 6.0.B.3.184

I have tried to repair my phone's software. I have tried a wole bunch of different router settings including changing channels and trying different security settings

What can I do?

Funny, I had the exact same problem with the ...162 firmware, but it disappeared with the ...184 update. I also had problems accessing my 32GB-SD-card, so i did a factory-reset after the ...184 update. Maybe that also helped with the WiFi-Problem?

Sounds like a repair of your phone's software would be wise to try out.

You can easily perform the repair with our program Sony PC Companion, availalbe for download from the link below.

I have already tried a repair of my phone (as stated in the original post) but it did not help

Lucky you, mine doesn't even say connected, it just fails all the way.

Have you tried with a WEP secured wifi network?

Same here. It says connected, then immediately fails, and starts scanning again. I have 5 wifi networks here but none works. All other electronic products (laptop, iPad, kindle, my roommate's phone) work well.
