Its neva happened to me using wifi, are you using other things at the same time? PS3? PC? I know my xbox tends to disconnect if im downloading somthing on the pc

Having the same issue
I don't have to be downloading anything, the phone could just be sitting there and the WIFI disconnects even with a app like SKYPE running in the back ground. My current internet is 20 meg down with 4 meg up and of all the devices this is the only one that disconnects or has any kind of connection issues.
Happens about 10 times a day. So annoying

Yes, I get this with my PLAY.
No other devices have this problem in my house. Stable connection that is on all the time.
Really annoying in Rainbow 6, particulary since it doesn't seem to save your stats with you disconnect because of a Wi-Fi droput.
Also sometimes have problems when it comes out of sleep mode, have to turn off wifi, then on again on the PLAY.
Very annoying.
Could it be to do with the security settings on your routers? Mines set to WPA2 PSK with a 13 character password and its never dropped connection. Or could it be the make of your routers? Mines a Netgear router. If a few people post there setup maybe we can find a similarity between them and find out if it's the phone, router, setup or all of them that's the problem.

The distance you are to the router makes a big difference. I think the wifi receiver on the play is weaker then other devices.

Yes. I havent updated yet, I'm hoping that 2.3.3 will fix it.
It says I'm connected yet stops working. I have to turn off the wi-fi then turn it back on to get it working again.

I have the same security on mine. The router is wireless n from my provider. It ie a router modem in one.
I did back when I was on 2.3.2. It was so annoying. I could have 2 computers, an iPad, and my Play connected to the same router and only the Play would disconnect continually.
adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
I have the same problem with 2.3.3 the wifi just keep disconnecting is really annoying. Does any one know if this is a bug or a real design or hardware problem that wont be fixed wit updates?
It's wifi range isn't as far reached as other devices.

Is anyone else having intermittent drops while connected to wifi? I've noticed my wifi drops and reconnects especially when there is heavy wifi usage... I've tried TKIP and AES with no better luck with either one.

wifi
last night when i was trying to download an app from marketplace?
Yeah, I've just started noticing that. It wasn't doing it most of yesterday and I was using it pretty heavily. It started last night when I noticed both the 3G and wi-fi icons were on. I restarted wifi and it still showed up like that, so I rebooted. Now it seems like it's always on 3G when I pick it up.
What kind of router are you using?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I used to have this problem regularly with mine and my girl's Droids on 2.1, and appeared to be related to using secured wireless networks. I was able to set up a test wireless network with no security and the disconnects stopped happening. Switch back and 5 to 15 minutes later I was disconnected again. I never found a fix for it on 2.1, but the problem completely went away with 2.2.
Unsure if they're related, but from what people are describing, this sounds exactly like the issues I used to have prior to rooting/2.2 on our Droids.
I noticed that it was with wep encryption only. I looked through wpa and etc and there was less dropage. Now, i don't know if your all aware, the ipad does the same thing. The only place i seen it hold up well was the wpa and the hotspot app on board.
I wonder if this is just the new radios and modems in these devices?

Well I'm using WPA2 on a d-link 855... I thought about trying no security, but hate the idea that I may have to do that.

Diego dude, you're running 2.2 on your droid? I wish we could do that on the DX...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
OK. Let me start by saying I'm not an expert but I may have found a solution. Go to wi-FI networks and go to wireless settings. Then click on options hard key and choose advanced. then choose Wi-Fi sleep policy and set it to never.
So far so good for me. Let me know if anyone has any luck.

nice find thanks
Trying it now!

Yeah, I'm still having major issues. My phone will drop WiFi very often. Im going to try unsecured next. I've tried changing from tkip to are, tried turning off the sleep function... nothing. It happens most frequently when I'm doing heavy traffic like from or two another computer, where it maxes out the bandwidth capabilities of the phone...

My issue is that some apps don't work well with wifi, like google voice when sending txts (it just hangs then says times out)

Have you double checked not only the advanced settings under Wifi for always on, but which battery profile you're running? The default profile is the Smart one, which disables wifi/3g after so many minutes of being idle after peak hours.
i will try this thanks i do use the smart profile
I read several articles and then under wireless security changed the WPA Algorithm to TPIK and have not had a drop or WIFI issue since. Let me know if it resolves your issue.

If it was me, I'd check to make sure you're broadcasting SSID on your router. For some reason, at least this is the way it is for me and I would be really baffled if it wasn't happening to everyone else as well, these android devices (I have an EVO and a GT), have a problem with connecting without it being able to see the SSID broadcast. All of my other devices (laptops, desktops, etc...) have absolutely no problems either way (broadcasting SSID or otherwise) connecting to my WiFi setup. Just the adndroid devices.
I had same problem not sure how i fixed it. But i reflashed everything like 1st time
I think it will b the modem file.
BUT check your wireless setting first

My wi-fi keeps stoping but still says connected. I have to turn off the wi-fi and turn it back on to get it going again. The phone is the only device on my network that is doing this.
I have tried setting a static IP but it didn't work.
If so have you found a fix?
My wifi is not set to sleep.
Has anyone had this problem?
Thanks

Not with my phone but my Samsung had this problem before.
What router are you using? If you don't mind me asking and do you know what bands/fequences its on?
Same here. Keeps dropping signal, yet I'm still connected to it and am right beside it, also other devices keep working, I dunno why, also happens on 3g!
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
My router is from my ISP. It has all the bands including N. I'll look when I get home.
My other devises such as iphone, Ipad 2 and ipod touch does not do this.
I have tried setting a static IP. Maybe I have to set static IPs on everything in my house?
I have a ton of devices such as 3 PS3s, 2 ipod touches, 2 iphones, an Ipad 2, 3 DSi’s and a few laptops. I’ll go through and give everything static IPs tonight.
Thanks
Router make will help, sorry just as it was the software on the router that maybe the issue. Belkin and tompson are the worst, but can be potentially fixed.

Ok, I will check when I get home.
ive had this same issue on two routers and two xperia plays. now i just use conectify to create a hotspot with my laptop, works ALOT better. strangely enough it connects to my school network without ANY problems, but in my house its baaad.
So I have noticed that as of late, when connecting to some access points, my xoom takes an excessivly long time scanning and authenticating the network, and will not connect. Other times it will connect in the correct fashion. I have verified pass code and IP settings. Anyone have advice?

I have seen the same thing on exactly one other wifi hotspot, while traveling. I thought it might be something in the way that the AP was configured due to the fact that my 1.6 phone would not connect either while my wife's Win7 netbook connected immediately. I thought that they must not ike Android.
Its possible the routers were out of IPs to assign. A common problem I find in hotels is that they set really long, or indefinate lease times and people come and go and they run out of IPs to assign.

I think you may be on to it there.... the times I notice odd behavior is when a significant number of devices are connected...

Has anyone been experiencing wifi issues recently? The wifi seems to disconnect frequently for no reason at home, even with strong signal strength. Generic UK firmware (rooted) with the latest xloud update. I have unfrozen everything for a few days to test it, but it still has issues. The issues seem to recently have started, but I didn't have them before the xloud update.. hmm..
What I've tried: taking battery out for half an hour, enabling/disabling wifi, deleting/readding wifi access point, and most up to date router firmware (Linksys E3000).
same here.. additionally, as compared to the previous version of 2.3.3 (3.0) the WiFi switch this time takes around 800% longer to connect fully to a network.. jeez
i have a blazing fast connection with a linksys router, so that's not the problem...
I'm having the same problem. Did the x loud update this morning and ever since refusing to connect to wifi networks.
Constantly scanning, connecting then disconnected.
Only tried it on my work wifi so far will test some more on home wifi tonight.

How far are you from your router? I don't get dc even when I have one bar in the house. Before I would get dc with 3bars. I bought a new netgear rangeboost router that fixed everything.

I'm in a condo, at any point I am pretty damn close to the router It's a Linksys E3000 with a lot of transmit power. I didn't have these issues before the xloud update, though, and don't have these issues on other phones and wifi devices.
Yea that's a good router. Is it really running N mode only.

802.11n only, on both 5ghz and 2.4ghz. Blazing fast for all clients (especially on 5ghz), except for when the Xperia Play doesn't want to stay connected.
Anyone been able to solve this issue?
I also have this problem on my R800x, even after yesterday's OTA update to 2.3.3. But it's not recent for me; it's an issue I've always had with this phone. =/
Did you guys go to wifi settings » Advanced and changed the wifi sleep policy to never?
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
Also try going to your router set up page to see if it's assigned the same ip as another client. Otherwise there might be something wrong with with your wifi radio...

It is set to never sleep. No IP address conflicts (multiple locations have the same problem). Only started happening after OTA xloud update.
The only thing left to do is to clear cache on your play. Remove the wifi. Reset and reconfigurate your router and modem also.

Which cache?
I've had problems on the last stock ROM. CM7 cured all those issues for me.
The clear cache you click when flashing a new rom. Like re do your phone from the start.

Well that just sucks. I guess I'll wait until 2.3.4 comes out and hope it fixes the issue.. it's clearly a bug introduced with the xloud update.
I retract me previous complaint. Since the 2.3.3 OTA, I'm noticing the phone is simply renewing its lease with the router. While the signal strength on the phone isn't as good as the original Droid, it seems to be fine. I'm looking more at the rest of the network.
I'm starting to think it's my router giving issues. Why would it need to renew the lease constantly, when it should be 24 hours? I have standby set to never.

I've got 3 brand new routers (my place, friend's place, parent's place) that are all giving issues with the new firmware. I definitely think it's SE's fault on this one, as my gf's Desire Z with 2.3.3 doesn't have any issues.
The wifi refused to stay connected to all my networks (home, parent's house, work). Finally, today I have decided to flash back to Generic UK 2.3.2 and rooted. Now wifi stays connected perfectly (downloading all the games back, several gigs complete). Looks like it was a firmware problem. I'll wait for 2.3.4 to be available OTA before I hit update this time (skipping xloud update completely).
