New Sony Xperia Tablet S Wi-Fi Problem?

[bobbyalansony]

Hi there - just wondering if anyone out there has the same issues with their new Xperia Tablet S - Firstly, when turning on from sleep (when the Wi-Fi is turned off) it takes 60 seconds for the tablet to re-connect (other tablets re-connect straight away) - this happens whatever Wi-Fi Disconnect Options are selected.

And secondly - does it seem as though there is not enough color saturation on the screen (is there any way of boosting this ?)

Just wondering what others think ?

Unfortunately I have the same problem with wifi. It was ok to start now an issue. Tried  the same things but like you takes ages. 

Wish I had bought an IPAD now. It's  a bit buggy.

Hi,

Have you installed the latest firmware update - Android 4.0.3 release 4.?

If so and the problem remains can you clarify..

Have you switched off wifi before your tablet enters sleep.?

If so, if wifi is still enabled before your tablet enters sleep do you notice the same issue.?

I have the latest firmware and I just leave the tablet as is. So for example I have used it now i'll and go off and do something else. It will go to sleep at some point.  Then when it wakes no wifi. Only way to get it back is to shutdown. It will not come back on very often without this. It's  annoying, I dont want to have to keep turning it on and  off, the tablet or the wifi.

Hi there,

I have the original Tablet S and have had since the day after release there are quite a few old threads about wifi. The following is from a post I made a long time ago and touch wood have never had the issue since:

I had experienced this a long time ago - I downloaded advanced wifi lock - there is a free and paid version the paid just gives a widget and a few extra settings.

I just have to have turned it on and off at some point using this and no reconnect issues.

My main reason for getting this app though was when I'm streaming music the screnn can go off but it stay connected regardless.
