Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

Do you get any error messages when connecting to the WiFi network?

the wifi password needs to be re-entered after wifi has been switched off and on again ... really annoying ...

Hi!

Please have a look at the parallel thread with exactly the same name. There are more detailed descriptions available.

Even scanning does not work. Only for a short time after booting all the many WiFis here in the house are listed. Even then I cannot connect to my WiFi. The other WiFis vanish after some time.

Please help!

Re-entering the password worked with the XPERIA V of my wife but not with mine!

Repair with PC Companion did the trick for me.

But, it took me more than 10 hours to backup and restore. I used 3 different tools and needed all of them to get 90 % of my data and apps back: Carbon (Helium), MyPhoneExplorer and PC Companion!

PC Companion failed to backup videos and photos and failed to restore settings! And, it failed to backup the contacts correctly. W/o my MyPhoneExplorer backup most of my contacts were lost, as it is not able to backup any contacts but with a local account!
