Wifi Issue---Slow speed - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I am experiencing very poor wifi performance on my xperia z1 compact.
I am always able to connect to my router and all my other devices all work fine without any issues. The issue is that 99% of the time I am getting very poor wifi speeds (I am getting good signal to the routers wifi). The strange thing is that everytime I use the speedtest app, I am reaching my target speeds (around 16mb generally), however when I try to use other apps, I am getting extremely poor wifi speeds. I have tried a factory reset and also a repair using the pc software but i am still stuck with this problem.
I had been using kitkat 4.4.2, I was hoping that updating to 4.4.4 would fix this issue but it still persists. This is my first sony device, can somebody please help remedy this problem!

wifi problem 2.3.3

Regards
I have a problem with wifi after I put update on 2.3.3
whether it can solve this problem with wifi.
I always shoot and it turns the wifi network.
be a good wifi network signal then disappears
Same problem here
This is a very serious problem. Get ur act together HTC, this is just unacceptable!
Are you rooted? HTC raised the signal strength at which the connection would be dropped, there is a fix if you are rooted, otheewise you are stucm and will have to wait for HTC to correct this.
Sent from my Desire HD
Have you tried another radio? of course be careful if you do change it
same issue, though htc say that its a "new feature" to provide a seamless mobile broadband experience by automatically chosing the strongest signal. whatever you say htc
i just disable mobile data at home, so it cant jump back to 3g and stays on wifi. the annoying thing with this is that i forget to enable mobile data when leaving the house.
i hope they sort it out, and that this new feature isn't rolled out across their other products
I am having the same problem. At work, my wifi connection is weak, but was always functional. Now, I cannot connect to my work wifi. On top of that, my battery drains twice as fast on my phone, and I'm thinking that it's due to the phone always scanning and trying to connect to the wifi signal. If it's true that HTC changed the level at which the wifi signal is dropped, this was a terrible decision.

I think this may answer/point to the problem I'm having since installing the Gingerbread RUU. I use the quick settings app from the market and pre-gingerbread it used to switch between wi-fi/mobile pretty seemlessly, turning off the unused option. Now if there's no wi-fi connection that option seems to stay on (probably searching) while it's connected to mobile data. As above, my battery is draining like a sieve.

Same problem for me with Original Rom.
so i tried the Revoloution HD 5.1.4 and same problem again!
Hi guys until HTC release an OTA fix (that's if they do) the only way to resolve this is to root and then try some different ROM and radio combinations until you find one that works for you.
I find the ROM and radio from my signature work really well on WiFi but if you are going to do this make sure and root, gain S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. Also make sure you have the correct RIL for the ROM and radio that you are using
There are lots of threads on the dev section that guide you through this.
Wifi connecting
I have a similar problem with wifi connection. Only it doesn't disconnect during a connection but when establishing a wifi connection it takes much longer than it used to on Froyo. Anyone else noticed this?
i have problem too with wifi
I really hope htc has stopped the updates and resumes with a new build with the wifi problem fixed
The issue is with the Gingerbread Sense ROMs.

WiFi problems with routers
Hi there,
Same problem here. Both my WiFi router and phone say signal and reception quality are perfect and connection it stable, but data won't flow.
I'm having this problem with my Speedtouch (WEP key) router at home, whereas a Sitecom router at the office works fine (WPA etc. key).
Tried some work arounds, without success
Regards
***EDIT***
I can add that it has nothing to do with the reported threshold of -88dB signal strength. As I checked that with the *#*#4636#*#* option and both higher and lower values of the WiFi reception don't make any difference. The problem persists.
***EDIT v2***
The suggestion posted elsewhere to change from WEP to WPA didn't work out either
***EDIT v3***
Reverted back to ARHD 3.7 and WiFi is running fine again .
Hope some fix will be found soon!
Regards,
Is there any solution. I am trying to downgrade the radio but no chance.
If I use LeeDroid or Revolution will this same problem be there?

Weak WIFI Issue on 4.4.2

Since the last month i have been facing this strange weak wifi strength issue which causes frequent dropouts and doesnt even connect at times. Now the phone is able to connect to my router if and only if i am in very close proximity with the router. I cant even use wifi at my home now, whereas other devices in my home are able to use it at long range.
I have tried switching between roms and updating bootloader from MJ5 to ND3 (kitkat) which has not helped me one bit. Can anyone provide me with a solution for this?

[Q] [GPE] Wi-Fi problems on 5.0.1 Lollipop

Anyone else have problems connecting to 5ghz any Wi-Fi networks after the Lollipop upgrade? I used the RUU zip to install Lollipop from scratch and I'm still having problems. First noticed the issue when I was setting up the account. Even then, the wifi would cut in and out when attempting to connect to my Wi-Fi. Not a router issue since other devices can access the network without a problem. Even then, after a router reboot it's still acting up. Rebooting the M8 doesn't help either.
Update: I was actually having problems with Wi-Fi in general as it turns out. Connecting to a normal 2.4ghz network was spotty and kept dropping. With 5ghz networks, it just didn't connect at all. I reverted back to the kitkat radio and everything is better now. Might try the Lollipop radio again too see if it may have been a one time issue or not.

Wifi Connectivity issues (especially on 5Ghz)

I recently purchased a used oneplus 3, Everything is working fine except the wifi. I'm having a lot of problems connecting to WiFI networks, especially 5ghz networks. I have tried at home and at work, the problem persists on multiple wifis. It even fails to find networks, and when it does find one and connect to it, speeds are very slow and the signal is very weak.
To make it work somewhat at home, I had to manually try multiple 5ghz channels until I found one that worked. But even then, the connection was poor and slow. 2.4 Ghz is not an option for me as I live in apartment building which makes it unusable.
I have tried factory resetting the device from recovery, but the problem is still there.
I am on stock OOS 3.2.7.
Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

Wifi issue

Hello community,
1. I have a low wifi signal - about 10-12 dbm less then my old lg g3 or lg g5 or galaxy j7 pro - seams it is just an integrated wifi antenna issue and there is no way to fix it
2. When scanning wifi networks I have a very not stable results: even when the signal is excellent about 55-60dbm the ssid is appear and goes all the time occasionally - seams it is a wifi driver bug
Especially I see it when using WIFI analyzer.
Couple of days before I opened thread with Sony support and don't have answer.
I must have the WI-FI card working well !
Someone have the same issues?
Someone have any ideas about fixing the low wifi signal ?
Thanks,
p.s the wifi connection is stable with day by day standard usage.

hi
I CANT EVEN USE WIFI
like u said,i found my signals are very weak at the first.
i think its just a bug and didnt care about it
however 1 week later my phone suddenly cannot connect to any wifi.all the wifi spots are shown as almost no signal and it will repeat"connecting,saved"'
and i found this is a serious problem,used Xperia companion to fix that
But it didnt work and i couldnt turn on the wifi option now.
it will reboot when im trying to turn on the wifi option.
i think its likely to be a hardware issue,but my LTE worked very well without problem.
im very Confusing now
