Solution to Xperia Arc Wifi Problem

My dad has bought Xperia Arc, so I helped him to do some setups with email and our home wifi.

Problem: Xperia Arc doesn't seems to connect to my home wifi even after numerous attempts and after a while my computer showed a 'local network cable unplugged' message. Did the phone made my router restart? ...

Anyway, I went Google and found out that this is a major problem to many Xperia arc users, I'm not the only one having this problem. If you've having the similar 'disconnect' or 'not in range' wifi problem as me, then do read following to save you some time troubleshooting (I hope so).

Method 1 - Adding Xperia Arc 's ip address and mac address into my router's static DHCP Table

I tried this method as it seems logical and workable but the result was disappointing. It stopped at 'obtaining ip address' and then got disconnected immediately. I didn't even see the 'connected' message on the phone.

Method 2 - Changing wifi encryption mode to WPA (TKIP)

I changed my wifi's encryption mode to WPA (TKIP) as previously my wifi encryption mode was WPA2... end result? NOT WORKING AT ALL :(

Method 3 Changing wifi band mode to wireless G only + using the wifi keep alive APP

This is the most successful or only method that works.

• Changed my wifi band to wireless G only (tried mixture of wireless B,G,N and N only - both didn't work only G works)
• Changed back my wifi encryption to WPA2 (AES)
• Downloaded wifi keep alive from market (it's free) and I choose default mode for the APP.

It seems like it's only able to connect to my home's wifi in wireless G mode, however connection doesn't last as it gets disconnected sometimes, so having wifi keep alive can help.

Complaints: If it wasn't for my dad, I wouldn't have spent 2hours to figure and solve this problem. I feel that testings should be done on its function before selling or otherwise they could have just release the fix quickly.

By the way, I'm using EnGenius ERS9850 wireless N router.


I feel so much better now, peace^^

Stop the Internet Scam!

I've gotten really tired about these. Almost every blog I visited is filled with duplicated articles. Where is the originality ? I'm pissed off because the situation got so bad recently. lol Maybe it's because of the gloomy economic situation now :P And for goodness sake, there are freaking so many work at home sites that would have just one single sale pitch page and opt in pop up for you to enter your email address and then they promise you to send you your free ebook and yeay! You are in their mailing list ^^". I had went to numerous sites and almost every single site says the same thing.

Some Similarities...

1. Earn USD $200+ or more in 3 days. I thought that google would usually take about 5days to get a page indexed? I'm not sure though... Anyway if you know how to earn so much money in 3days then why would you share the secret to everbody? Won't it be like cutting your cake into smaller portions and share it with more people, isn't it? Or you mean you can earn even more money if someone buy your product? Hehe...Think about it, everything comes with terms and condition.
2. This ebook usual price is $47! But now if you opt in your email address, I'll give you the ebook for free!! Yea right, I can google the ebook myself and the ebook doesn't really help. With the usual content whereby the first few pages would be talking about "you need to have motivation, strong driving force to do internet marketing and patience to see result" Then their closing would be asking you to pay them to be their affiliate member and start similar website just like theirs. -.- How horrible, it's just like a vicious cycle!
3. Their tales are all the same. I think the tales came from the same person. Like I quited my 9-5 job because now I can earn more in interneting marketing. Think. If one day, everybody does internet marketing, who will be the one working in the office? How about the restaurants, the movie theaters, those business will probably shut down because nobody wants to work for them, everybody has become the internet marketer because interneting marketing can earn big bucks! Haha, unfortunately thats not true. Only the fittest, strongest will survive :)

Lastly, I wish to tell everybody, internet marketing is not an overnight get rich quick thing. It doesn't work that way. Please don't get cheated by those poorly designed template website, unless it's from a reputable person like Warren Buffet, the richest man in the world. You can click here to see his company's website. It's so simple. Anyhow he's not in the internet marketing sector, so it's okie. Haha

If the site asks you to pay money, think thrice. How does the site earns its revenue? Do they earn their revenue from internet marketing newbies? Or do they really earn alot and they are so kind to teach you how to earn money online just for a small fee? How credible are they? If you think that it's just a small sum of money and you can afford then go ahead. Or maybe you want to buy their ebook just to know how they earn your money then go ahead as well =P

I can say that right now it is hard to differentiate real internet marketing or it's a scam because there are just too many! It's like finding a needle in a haystack!

If you want to learn about internet marketing, then browse for free resources from the websites first and look from the library before you purchase for any resources.

Happiness with little money is possible

I'm not saying exactly happiness without money but with sufficient money to live a normal life. These are the tips that I'm using :)

Tips
#1 Just be contented of what you have. Live with what you have!

#2 Share things with people. Sharing is caring :)

#3 Surf the Internet, don't go shopping! You can know what's happening in the world without going out of your house nowadays!

#4 Sleep early and for at least 8hrs. E.g. 10pm-6am. Why am I saying this? I used to be an owl but ever since I started working, I began to sleep early. Reasons are because I need to get sufficient rest to get my brain to function properly and I got really drained after work that I can fall asleep after 15minutes. Now that is already good for me because I used to fall asleep only after an hour. If you face difficulties in getting into bed, I suggest to should get yourself tired first. E.g. exercising, working, walking etc physical activities will do :) not watching television or gaming please. These will simulate your brain and you will end up staying late nights.

#5 Eating Right. Are you overweight? Maybe you should cut down on fried food or starchy food. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Drink 7-8 glasses of water. I know frequent toilet visits will resulted if you drink too much water, so just drink at least 7-8 glasses of water. Water will make you feel fuller. So you can just eat 70% full and drink some water to make yourself fuller. I lose weight by using this method, by dieting the right and healthy way.

By cutting down on oily food will reduce your skin oil secretion that will mean less pimples too :) You can google search for benefit of water and sleep and you will know that they do wonders :)

Alright. Maybe you think that are you sure these tips will work? If you can just follow tips #1 then you can be content with what you have now without doing the other tips. Haha just joking. Sleep is essential in our life because we spent 1/3 of our lives sleeping so if you get anything less than that, your body will go haywire. If you eat right, you probably in healthy BMI range,look good and in good health so you will be happy so that is the logic.

You can live a simple happy life if you follow this tips. Simple is beautiful :)
