Similar behaviour to your home router then.. and as you say you couldn't hang around long enough to see if it stayed connected..On 02/04/12 13:27, Julian Hall wrote:As for Sony and/or Google getting it sorted, I have my doubts. They are very busy with version 4 of Android so I doubt that they will find time for anything to do with Gingerbread, even though a lot of users are having this problem. Thanks for your help with this, sadly NeilDamn I'm sorry that hasn't worked. Best of luck with the ISP! JulianI was up in town this morning (Holsworthy). We have a very good computer shop there and I know the owner, Andy, well. I tried logging on to the wifi there and it worked!! No problem. And, of course, he did not have to reset his router. I could not stay long enough to see if it would eventually drop, but it seemed fine.
It's worth a shot.. but I'd first use one of the WifI snoopers to find out what channels your neighbours use. You don't want to compromise quality for your other wireless devices by using the same channel as anyone nearby.Andy suggested that I could try changing the channel on my router. At the moment it uses channel 6, so I could try channel 11 perhaps. Does that sound like a plan?
Fair point.. and it's the same phone that connected previously with no problem, so I don't see why that would be the case.Or another idea, perhaps my phone does not like my router, but in that case why would it log on easily as soon as I reset it?
I'd be inclined to hang fire and see if anyone reports problems with 4.0 and your phone. Frying pan and fire comes to mind :)Or, android version 4.0 is due to be available for my phone later this month. I could try that I suppose.
Here's a thought. Does your phone have a 'lock/standby' mode.. in other words after a set time the screen darkens to save battery etc? If so does that coincide with when it loses WiFi connectivity? Perhaps you could temporarily disable that function and see if the phone stays connected.
