Wifi remembering connection

Moharva — Mon, 09 Dec 2013 13:33:53 GMT

1st time on here so sorry if someone has already posted on this but I haven't been able to find anything.

My Xperia S has decided that it doesn't like remembering Wifi connections, e.g. home and work. So each time I try and connect to either I have to re-enter the password!

Sounds strange! Have you tried to restart the phone by press and hold the power button and volume up at the same time until the phone vibrates?

If you still experience the same behavior you can try to start your phone in safe mode to see if the problem may be related to any 3rd party application installed in your phone:

I'll give it a go tonight and see how things are in the morning.

Thanks.

I've found out what was causing the issue with this wifi issue. Basically, if I use Smart Connect so that when I'm in my car the Sony Walkman app starts and will automatically start playing my music when I select media from the car system. I've turned this off on my phone and hay presto the phone has remembered my wifi connections.

What I'm not sure about yet is whether it is an issue with the car, Smart Connect or the Walkman app. I'll be working my way through to see which it is.

This should not be an issue... since I use SMART CONNECT and LLAMA for automation and I have a similar action for my car Bluetooth Stereo... BT Headphones, TV Mirroring, USB OTG, etc...

Most of my actions are about Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity and I have never had a problem with remembering WiFi so it should be something else.

Try doing a soft reset, and if that does not work, try uninstalling and reinstalling Smart Connect... and finally if that does not work and you have the time, back everything up and do a repair with PC Companion...
