I have just upgrade to Android 6.0 last night for both of my Xperia Z5 Compact and Z5 Premium, and it looks nice.

However, when I back to work and try to connect to company Wifi network today, it keeps showing "Connecting..." under the SSID for very long time, and ultimately showing "Authentication problem". The SSID I connect to using PEAP-MSCHAPV2 authentication, I am sure that my username and password is correct as I was using this the day before, as well as using other mobile devices. When I try to some SSID using common WPA2-PSK authentication, it works properly. Therefore, it shouldn't be the problem on the hardware side.

Since I'm not able to do a factory reset currently due to many data instead, does anyone have similar problem or suggest a work around for this problem?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

have you tried a simple restart?

charlescheng

A simple restart?

Yes, I did. By the way, I have exactly the same problem in both of my Z5 Comapct and Z5 Premium after upgrading to Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Having said that, I have to give credit to Sony that this is the only problem I am experiencing after 2 days, and the battery life is amazing after the upgrade. It's now very close to the performance of my previous Z3 compact with nearly 2 days battery life, and the phone is now much more responsive.

Anyway, it would be very great to have a solution to this Wifi authentication problem, thanks guys!

Is SONY support read this forum?

Thanks thesiner for the contribution. Not sure if Sony is aware of the problem reporting right now?

It's always good to have a response or at least an acknowledgement no matter what status it is; otherwise, I guess they are not interested in this topic, or don't think that it's a problem at all.

When I have time, I will try to backup Z5 Premium and perform a factory reset to see if it's solved, will let you know.

On Xperia z2 I have the same problem after update to Android 6 beta release. On z2 and z5 with Android 5.1 all worked. After updating to 6.0 I have a problem with wpa supplicant on both devices.

I'm sorry to hear this

Would it be possible for you to take a log from your phone with Wi-Fi verbose logging enabled and send it to me?

To do this:
Settings > About phone > Build number, tap 7 times on the build number
Go back and select Developer

Turn on "USB debugging"

Turn on "Enable Wi-Fi Verbose Logging"
Try to connect to the network
Settings > Developer options, select "Take bug report". When the report is ready share (may take a minute or so) you get a notification that you can tap and share to Google Drive. Please send me a link to this file in a private message.

Rickard, please check your Private Message inbox, thank you.

Hey,

I have exactly the same problem with my Z5 compact (android 6.0). I did the update last weekend and in several private wifi networks everything works fine, but in my company's wifi network I get no connection (same thing as mentioned above, long time "connecting..." and then "Authentication problem". The SSID also uses PEAP authentication.

I already tried to enable the old DHCP client in the developer options, which was suggested in another thread, but it didn't help and I did a reset of my network connections with no result....

I'm going to get the log tomorrow and then upload it, if it's of any help....

Thanks a lot
