Wifi issue does anyone ever had this problem?

Hello There! I have a wifi issue and wonder if anyone ever had this problem.

I have Wifi turned on and connected to a wifi at home and also at work. but for some reason , sometimes I check my phone and i see the H+ logo meaning that its on the 3G and not in the wifi. I check and the wifi is still turned on.

I can manually fix this , by turning wifi off and turning it back on and it will automaticly connect to my wifi.

But this happen way too often...

Help please!


Thanks

Sometimes the phone disconnect from WIFI and then 3G takes over. Check how strong is yor WIFI signal, also the latest sw increased the WIFI strenght, at least for me.

Ive checked everything and this is correct..

I thought others ppl had same problem.. it does it all the times..

instead of being connected to wifi , it always switch to 3g.

All others have an Iphone 5 and does not have this issue..

I had my Xperia Z1 replaced 2 month ago for another issue , but I had this wifi issue with my other z1 too

The main reason why I bought the Xperia Z1 was for the Camera. I mean , having 20.7MP with supposed great low light picture (like in the commercial)

I noticed many ppl have this problem.

This smartphone takes Amazing photo.. but in Day light only.. As soon as the light is a bit low.. the photos are REALLY ugly.. many noise , nothing sharp .. really ugly..

For example I went to a restaurant last week , someone took a picture of my family He took 3 just to be sure.. none of these was even acceptable..

If its supposed to take GREAT low light photo like they advertised.. They should fix it.. I dont know if its hardware or software problem.. By I am so disapointed..

I usually change photo every 8-9 months for the new one.. But I am not even going to buy the Z2 because of this..

Other things.. Bluetooth and Wifi **bleep** **bleep**.. Each time I am on my wifi on youtube.. well every time I play another video , its saying Connection Problem, then I press 3-4times to Try Again and it finally work..

I hope they will fix it.. we paid 700 for that phone.. we need support..

Sorry for my english.

In comparison, this phone is indeed have better capability in low light photography compare to many smartphones of the same class, the picture is brighter. But due to hardware limitations of its class, it also inherrently susceptible to digital noise in the low light photo, depending on how dark is the environment. I think the larger than average photo sensor and Exmor really help a lot in low light. Generally, it seems that the manual mode is able to perform better than the much advertised superior automode. Including the low light performance and picture sharpness (please enable the image stabiliser). Always using touch button on screen to capture, avoid using camera button that could compromised stability when shooting.
