Hello. Yesterday I encountered unusual behavior of two smartphones (Xperia X and Aqua Fish). I visited Globus hypermarket in suburbs of Moscow and had to make a call from within. But I couldn't wake my phone from sleep. I rebooted it but screen was unresponsive. Phone became extremely slow then froze. I tried ti reboot it several times with same result. Then I tried Aqua Fish. Same behavior! I went to parking and rebooted my Xperia X. It worked. I make a call then returned to store. Phones froze again. Interestingly, they could receive calls messages but I couldn't answer. Phone vibrated but screen remained black. I could only decline call from my smartwatch. I made an experiment: I went to parking, took both phones in hands constantly pulling up and down application menu while moving toward entrance. They gradually begun to work slower. Then I entered they froze. I headed outside, menu started moving slowly then faster until it worked normally. I conducted same experiment with another entrance. Same result. What on earth could it be?

Yes, it's an issue with the wifi. Conman gets mad and phone gets highly unresponsive. Turning the wifi off, cure the symptoms. I don't know how to solve or report the problem though.

It's not only with wifi there are more similar issues like this. I have an xperia 10 and seems that the transition between wifi and data connection causes problems. The same occurs when there are conflicts between different antenas. There's a place in my town where if I try to use the phone it always gets black.

Indeed it's an issue with wifi. I visited another Globus with WiFi turned off. There was no problem with phone but then I turned WiFi on and my phone froze.
