Hello,
I have bought Xperia Arc S(running 4.0.4 now) few days ago, and ran into some wi-fi issues.
It's not the connect->disconnect->connect issue, that one is fixed thanks to one app (FXR WiFi fix and rescue), but there is another problem.
The wi-fi signal is just too weak. its like I have to be 3 m from router to get full signal, that's ridiculous.
At place where pretty much everyone other I know has decent wifi signal for me its off already.
It was same with Gingerbread, maybe with marginal difference only.
This is very big annoyance for me and limits the main purpose i bought new phone for - being able to browse net and check some things when i need to.
so, is there any way to make the signal stronger?
also, as i'm aware this is most likely hardware issue, would requesting replacement help it?
EDIT: also, it's not router issue, I've tested it on three routers
If your baseband is on .56 then update to .72 or .77 (or higher) because baseband is sometimes the issue.
Repair
Use sony update service to repair the phone.
Check if it works or update the BaseBand (72 or 77)(uncheck wipe user data) using Flash tool.
Check whether the baseband is compatible or not with your mobile before updating. (search in the forum for baseband and read the posts)
Hit "Thanks" if anyone helped you. :good:
Xperia Arc LT15i
Rooted/BootLoader Unlocked
Running JellyBean - FXP137/CM10
EDIT: ok, so turns out i have .77 already, so repairing phone is my best bet?
did the reset, i see no improvement.
it seemed to be a bar higher than usual, but then it dropped back down.
U wont see any improvement 'cause this is a problem without a solution. Arc S has a weak wifi, regardless the android or the baseband version. I'm currently on .587 firmware with .77 baseband and the problem persists. I tend to believe it's hardware related issue and I've learned to live with it, but dammit!, even my Archos tablet has excellent wifi signal..

so its general, every single arc /s has it weak like that, not just unlucky units or something? well that's sad how small amount of quality they did put into their flagship...
my wifi is also weak I have 77 baseband.
I think that it's a software problem, not an hw problem: before I upgraded to Android 4 it worked perfectly. Now it requires at least 70db of wireless signal, otherwise it continues to say "Autentication problem".
Hope next upgrade will solve it!
Try this :- Go into settings > more (or maybe it's xperia on stock rom I can't remember, but navigate to>wifi networks and change it to GSM only.
Then download a wifi scanner from PStore and run it. Follow it's instructions and it will detect the strongest channel to you.
If you are just wanting to use it at home through your router, do the scan and it will recommend the strongest signal channel for your phone, then simply change the channel setting on your phone / router to the recommendation the wifi scanner gives you.Your downloads uploads should now be better.

I think that it's a hardware problem. When i had GB, my signal was very low while on samsung y (5369 entry level) it was signal very good. I know that signal is more low with ics but it's hardware low quality. unfortunately some components (wifi and camera) are low quality on the our device.
Guys I still use GB for connecting all modem types without any problems but we all know on arc ICS has wifi problems. Freezing while watchin video, deconnect-connect many times etc..
I use locked BL.. How you connect wifi without any problems on your arc ?
I dont mean changing modem protction type wep wpa2 etc.. For example we go outside open wifi and connect while hanging out..
I hope I explained it clearly..
Thank you.
pro who can help me ! make arc S has a good wifi signal , because i think my arc S is bad at wifi signal ,by mod ,rom,kernel,BB, tweak ....every thing to make wifi better :crying: thx
You could move closer to the router or see if there's anything that could be affecting the signal between the router and your phone (eg. laptop or a tv antenna or something). You could also try those wifi signal booster apps in google play (here's a couple you can try out).
good luck
just download two apps: (a) wifi static; and (b) wifi connect - with reference to the 2nd app use this to ignore wifi signals you don't want to connect to, so you can focus on the one you do want

can u give me links ? thx
This happens with all access points (routers) ?
Tip : Check witch channel your router uses !
Install this on your phone : Link . It is a wifi diagnostic tool. Go to the page with wifi channels, if your router channel overlaps another channel near by, you will will get a low grade .

Sorry for you, but i also own this phone and it has absolutely no problem with wifi... it works great. I also have a HTC Touch, Samsung S2, Iphone 4S, Eten X650 and they do not perform as the ARC, on same router download speeds and signal strength is much better on ARC. Soo, you probably do not owned to many phones to be able to make a good comparison, but ARC is much better at all aspects then a lot of other phones.
Hi, I'm currently expierincing problems with my Xperia Acro HD. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, sound and even signal is not working.
I cannot activate Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (it gets stucked in "activating"). Sound doesn't work at all. And the signal shows no service.
I already tried restoring with original GB rom for this device. Even with ICS. I also tried flashing Xperia Acro S JB keeping the original Baseband from Docomo ICS. All those roms showed the same issues (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Sound and Signal problems).
I'm starting to think that it is Hardware related. But I wan to check on you guys to see if there is any solution, other than replacing the phone
Thank you in advance!
Hello,
I've recently bought a new xperia arc. I've rooted it and after that i installed several roms (4.4.2 - 4.4.3). These roms had different kernels. On all roms wifi supposed to be working, but after a few minutes it doesn't work anymore. I have to restart wifi and after that it works for around 5 minutes. (5 minutes with screen on) Now I was heading to another home and over there, the wifi worked perfectly. So I suppose the problem is caused by our router (thompson TG789vn). The stock wifi from my phone worked perfectly.
This problem was on my xperia X8 too (rooted and android 4.2), but did'nt exist on my xperia J (stock kernel/rom). A friend of mine has the same problem at our home too with a Xperia Neo (stock kernel/rom). Soo it looks like a strange problem. Can someone help me? I tried everything (statici p, google search, other kernel etc.)
Sorry for bad english
