Wi-Fi Disconnection Policy Bug

Dunhamzzz — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 17:50:44 GMT

I can confirm with various others that there is a bug on the latest 3.2 release (at the very least, maybe earlier) where when the Wi-Fi disconnection policy in Settings > Wireless and Networks > Wifi is set to never, the wifi will still disconnect when the screen turns off. This causes obvious problems with syncing and streaming music and many other things, so needs to be fixed asap.

Time for Sony to show us how dedicated they are to this device and put out a hotfix

Yep - I have the same problem.

For the mean while I set the Display Timeout to 30 Min. optimize the display brightness during streaming... and only stream music/vids when the tab is on the Docking station - it's better for the batterylife.

Can't wait for the next update.

But I believe that we need lots of patience...

Hi Omar, is there any update on passing this to the software team...

i've just bought a sony tablet s and it's brill, apart from this really annoying bug!

It's been two weeks, is there likely to be an update to fix this any time soon?

Thanks

Supposedly, based on reports in th XDA forum on the tablet s,

factory reset cured it for many users, but not all.

update of the account manager app triggers the bug to reinitiate for some users,

and reset of the tablet cured it again.

I hope to cure the bug on my tablet when account manager gets released in my region.

It would be good to investigate this bug versus the region from where it gets reported.

I have just done the recent update, but still have the Wifi disconnection bug. I have it set to "never disconnect" yet as soon as the screen goes off it disconnects. This is a real pain, as I want it keep up to date with email etc, surely a fix should have been included in the update? Come on Sony, what's going on??!!!

Hi have you tried the advanced wifi lock app from the marketplace?

There is a free version to test - you'll also see quite a few sony tablet users saying it works - I have to say it appears to work when I use music unlimited and the screen goes off.

I was having issues. I told the tablet to forget the WiFi and then reconnected, re-enterng the wep key. It is now fine.
