[HELP] Ray WIFI and GPS problems

---

So I've got my Ray for a few months now, but ever since I have problems with the WIFI and GPS connections.

GPS:
I used to use Navigon on my Acer Liquid, but that app doesn't work anymore unless there's an active data connection and I don't have a data plan. Now I use CoPilot Live Premium 8.xxxx. App itself works well, but the GPS signal get's lost every few minutes and I have the feeling this is getting worse. Especially in cities it's posible I have to wait for like 15 minutes to have a signal and after that the signal gets lost every 2 minutes or so. Is this just due to a poor GPS receiver in the Ray or what?

WIFI:
I can connect to my router (WPA2-Personal AES) but only for 2 minutes. After that, the icon in the status bar shows that my Ray is still connected to the router, but there is no internet connection anymore, eg in the market pages keep on loading most of the times without saying the connection is lost or so and I have to turn off WIFI and turn it on again after a minute to have it working again for 2 minutes -_- If I do this a lot, it even kicks my computers of my network and I have to reboot my router
I hear there a quite a few problems with the WIFI in kernel related situations and it's often solved by using a custom ROM, but I would like to stay on stock ROM.
What could be causing this? The router, the WIFI security...? I didn't have the chance to test it on another router, maybe tomorrow.

Any help would be appreciated!

For the wifi, if you could test it on another network, we could know if the problem comes from your phone.
For the GPS, if your phone is rooted, I suggest you this application, with every Android phone I have I use it, and I have a some-seconds signal acquisition. It may fix your problem, but I don't understand its origin.

Thanks for the app tip, I will try it!

Try sygic for navigation. It's free and for now it worked with no problems for me.

I have some problems with wifi too. At home i can connect to the router freely, when using my laptop as router it shuts the laptop down, at friends it restarts his router it almost looks like Ray is to aggressive when connecting.

I looked into the problem again today and finally, I got it working.

The things I did:
1) Router firmware update (Dlink DIR-615)
2) Removed Ray's DHCP settings from the router and added them back manually so it never expires.
(Up till this point I still had the same issues.)
3) Changed the WIFI mode from N and G mixed to N only
=> PROBLEM FIXED

There seem to be a lot Xperia users (especially Arc) with my kind of WIFI problems. This thread was very helpful:

I opened this before the help thread existed and just wanted to share my solution

I don't have GPS problem as it connects within 1 min without AGPS support...

But i do face wifi problem especially when downloading larger files >100mb.. It constantly gets disconnected...

The wifi disconnection is genuinely present when i am downloading torrent files... It just kills the connection then connects again... I literally can't download any torrent files especially larger ones like movies etc...didn't have this issue when i had HTC sensation...

I have the same problem, for example i can't download gameloft games

Me too but if i download other files that is just < 100mb wifi is fine for that.
