Xperia U Wi-fi Problem

[zito31]

I decided to buy an experia u because i saw in sony's webpage that it was upgradable to android 4.0. After upgrading, wifi became to work poorly. I've tried to solve this problem with my service provider, TMN, and Phonetech, but instead of solving the wifi problem, the soluction encountered was downgrade to android 2.3. I do no agree with this solution. Is it possible to solve this problem, or i'll continue to be disappointed with sony.

Just out of curiosity, I wanted to ask if you guys use the FON network, or any other that requires authentication to use the internet? I have the feeling that using the FON network precipitates the problem of wi-fi.

Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, I have to say the Sony Xperia U for sure has a WiFi problem.

The problem though, is that this device is picky with wireless routers.

It will do just fine on my ISP's Ubee router (b/g/n), and my very cheap Sweex router (b/g).

On the other hand, while connecting it to the D-Link DHP-1565 (in fact, three of these advanced systems), the WiFi experiences issues.

When using Google talk, there doesn't seem much wrong with it. But opening a browser on the Sony causes not only the Sony's WiFi to crash, but all devices connected to this wireless router will get bogged down.

Needless to say this caused me a lot of time and frustration.

I have tried many different ways of authentication, speed, whatever comes to mind on the D-Link but none helped. I am afraid I will have to root my Xperia-U to get rid of the problem, or sell it while it's still in pristine condition.

So far, it dropped in my "highly recommended" list to "not recommended". Sorry Sony...

Never used the FON network or equivalent. It was reported that the "wpa_suplicant" problem was related with WPA2 autentication. Some people found useful to switch their wi-fi routers from WPA2 to WPA, but obviously this is not a solution if you want to connect to different hot spots.

I Agree with you. Yesterday I bought a smart tv, but obviously not chose a sony.

Am more disappointed that they do not recognize the problem than with the failure to resolve.

My wifi doesn't switch off without me restaring the phone and won't connect to new networks automatically. Looks like you're all having the same problem.  So is this issue still not resolved?

Absolutely disgusting. I will never be buying another Sony product again.

Hello,

I'm preparing a class-action lawsuit against Sony Corporation regarding this chronic wifi problem with Sony Xperia U (ST25) smartphones. For months Sony Customer Service received hundreds of complaints and requests but never managed to address this issue. Lately customers are being told that the support to this 17 month-old model was discontinued.

As you might know the failure to comply with customers complaints regarding equipment UNDER WARRANTY makes Sony liable for legal prosecution under US consumers protection legislation. This means that customers are entitled to receive a considerable financial compensation from the offending entity.

Therefore I urge all customers to contact your own legal representative in order to organize joint legal actions against this unscrupulous company. If you are interested you can also join my own legal action. Please contact me at [email protected]

Regards,

Carlos Costa
