Since the latest update 1.0.3.8 WiFi is unreliable.

Running this script as devel-su
Code:
#!/bin/sh

rmmod wlan

sleep 20

modprobe wlan
Succesfully resets the WiFi without the need of rebooting

It seems that the Jolla has the most difficulties with switching from one to another WiFi network.

Funny thing is after above script switching goes better and indication is off with a good WiFi connection:

I had the connection issue again yesterday. One improvement since 1.0.3.8 is that the phone is not as slow now when the connection errors are appearing. Before it made the phone unusable now at least i can get to settings etc. However the only fix is a re-boot

Nice.

I extended my script:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

DATE_TIME=`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S`
LOG_PATH=/var/log
LOG_FILE=wpa_supplicant.log

OLD_LOG=$LOG_PATH/$LOG_FILE
BAK_LOG=$LOG_PATH/$LOG_FILE.$DATE_TIME

rmmod wlan

# move the log file with a timestamp
mv $OLD_LOG $BAK_LOG

sleep 20

modprobe wlan

sleep 20

# roll over the log file
wpa_cli relog >> $BAK_LOG 2>&1
PS. why it should be 20 sec ?
To give the kernel the change to settle, doing it faster boosted the load of the Jolla to 16+

Likewise the second sleep; doing it faster wpa_cli relog doesn't work.

Thanks, I will update script in the new version, but tell me why now we need operations with log file ?

It is not needed. It breaks a large file in smaller pieces and you exactly know when the wlan was reset. So far wpa_supplicant.log is the only wlan logging I found. I would like to why the WLAN has troubles.

The Jolla synchronizes its time using NTP.

The last two lines of a timestamped file
Code:
Selected interface 'wlan0'
OK
are from a succesfull relog

By default the log level is INFO

This command
Code:
wpa_cli log_level DEBUG 1
increases logging info with a epoch timestamp in front of it

Beware it produces a large file, currently 10k/min
