Today i took my arc and my friends X10i and connected both phones to same wifi network and downloaded the same game but my Arc's wifi after every 5 minutes regularly dropped singanls but X10 with good speed downloaded the game(30 MB) and Arc just downloaded 1Mb.....

Have you updated your Arc to the latest software? As far as I know, there was some updates regarding the WiFi in the latest update.

Please try the update via http://www.sonyericsson.com/update and reply here if you still have issues.

so, just to be clear, your phone was fine after your friend disconnected his X10i?

So if you are the only one connected, you are fine?

In this particular case, that actually sounds more like an issue with the WiFi network

you were connecting to, rather than a problem with your phone.

Does it behave like this on every WiFi network you connect to?

i was saying that wifi speed was good when disconnected the X10 but after disconnecting X10 it still dropped wifi signals after regular interval...

ok, does it behave like this on every WiFi network? or just that particular one?

sorry to say, that sounds like a problem with your router, rather than your phone - especially as

your phone works elsewhere

kinda sucks, but its more than likely a settings issue - i regularly connect to 5 different wifi connections, without any issues:

my own (WEP)
my in-laws (WPA)
my brothers (WPA2)
work (hidden WPA)
the pub 😄 (open)

we are 5 friends here using the same router....but this thing happens to only my Arc, my roomate's Neo and other fiend's Ray... at the same time X10 and X10 mini have no problem....

we also check iphone 4 that also have no problem...

i also check 2 other routers there it connected well with only 1 but with very poor speed... i also observed that with which router it will connect succesfully without droping signals speed will be low ...

so i doubt that problem is something else....may be some software problem due to which it connects few routers well and few it don't like to be conected with it:smileylaugh:

A router firmware update can solve this sort of problems.

WRT54 GL of my friend's had the same problem. Updating to the latest firmware solved his issue with Neo. You can find custom firmwares for U'r router online.
