Hi, I'm a bit of a newbie to XDA, but I came across a problem which I browsed the forums and the internet for a few hours to solve to no avail. A few days ago I made a call to one of my friends who apparently couldn't hear anything from my side. I checked this over and restarted my phone a few times to see if that would fix it. Unfortunately the problem persisted, and when I tried to record any audio, all I would hear from the playback is noise. I assumed that it was a faulty flash of Trigger v2.8, but ODIN'ing back to stock didn't seem to fix the problem. I use the phone in Canada, and won't be visiting the US anytime soon, so I can't go to a T-Mobile booth to get it checked out. Is there anything I can do? Any help is greatly appreciated.
check settings and make sure you do not have anything off, that could happen, But if you can't resolve find a compatible kernel for your ROM and try flashing that. That usually will fix most problems.
Good luck
Thanks for the help, but I was unable to fix the problem using these methods. I'm starting to believe it is indeed a hardware problem, but I would want to receive some more input and where I should take it to be fixed if that's the case.
Hi,
I have bought Galaxy S2 just two months back. My wifi was working fine until one day it stopped working. When I switch on my wifi, it just scan for the network and then gets off. My other devices are working fine with the router. The same problem exists even after doing a factory setting for the phone and reseting the wifi router at my home.
There are few things worth noticing about the problem:
1) My PC is detecting so many wireless networks around here but my phone wifi detects none because it seems to me that the wifi is not even getting started in my phone ... no wifi notification symbol.
2) On starting other wifi related setting like "wifi direct", my phone hangs and it shows a dialogue to force close it.
Please suggest some solution for the problem.
Thanks.

I recommend to flash the latest stock ROM for your region.
You can find many official firmwares in Intratech's thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.
Please read the first post carefully.
After flashing the ROM, you should do a hard rest (by dialing *2767*3855# in your phone).
Hope this will help!

Mine have the same issue. Started to force close when in wifi settings and wifi direct. Phone started to hang-up. I tried hard reset few times then it started showing "error" under "turn on wifi". Seems to be a hardware issue. Phone was working fine until yesterday. Going to the service center today. Will get back to you guys. Mine runs 2.3.6 (INU).
Does your phone lights go out when you switch off your phone? If so it is a hardware issue. I had the same problem and had to replace the mainboard. If you reset phone you will see "error" under "Turn on Wifi" option.

Can you please elaborate what you mean about the lights switching off?
I am using Galaxy i9100
android version: 2.3.4
baseband version: I9100XXKG5
When i switch off my phone, it shows the animation, then the screen turns off. but all this while the capacitive buttons (the back key and the menu key) remain lit up and continues to be lit up for 2-3 seconds after the animation is over and then turns off. So do you think my mainboard is gone? I'v had my SGSII since last summer and had wifi problem since 2 days now.
Went to the service center ... Its apparently a mother board problem and they are charging me 9,000 INR to replace it.. Heck, i would buy a new phone with that amount.. Bye bye samsung
There's this thing called warranty....
Sent from the little guy
I was on stock uk three rom and started to have problems with Bluetooth auto connecting to my car. It had been working fine since I got my phone back in June. I decided to try stock XXBLG8 to see if this helped. For a week it has been fine then other day upon entering my car my phone didn’t auto connect up. I have done some reading and found others having a similar issue but can’t really find a fix for this issue. My S2 worked perfectly for the whole year I had it. I have removed some app etc that were more recently installed but this obviously hasn’t fixed it. I don’t understand why it was fine for nearly 3 months and now this. I really don’t want to factory reset in case the issue is still there afterwards.
Anyone know why this is happening? Is it a bug with the phone?
Anyone got any idea about this?
Hi guys,
my gf is having issues with her new L9 II D605.
When having a call there's absolutelly no sound coming from the speaker and the other side can't hear anything either.
After reboot everything works fine for a while (maybe even days).
It's already a second phone with the same issue.
No root, no hack, no system update done.
System reset doesn't help.
Any ideas what could it be pls? Faulty machine, second in a row?
Thx.

Ok so i flashed jb kdz and then updated to kk. Its been 5 days and i havent had no sound problem. So there is a problem with flashable zips in some regions.
I am not familiar with abbreviations so please explain. I have same issue. The issue appears when I have data on, perhaps. I have 4.4.2 version and the problem is frustrating. Should I go back to a previous version, and how please? Also I have install the VUTALK disabling soft that comes from LG, somehow it felt it was causing all that. I will push it with several calls to verify it's ok...
Does anyone have any settings to apply that may resolve the issue?
Does LG give a response to the issue??
Thanks
ps. btw I'm in Greece with Vodafone

Is this happening after camera failed to initialize? I think it is some bug in KK .
I have problem also with quiet mode. It won't go if wi-fi is on.
I am thinking to go back to JB 4.1.2 but not sure how.

so i send my phone about 10 days ago to service. They returned it saying it's fixed and tested. They have changed my ROM version from 20b to 20c-220-03. The phone worked fine, and I did not have problems with calls until today. I read your post and I remember that I accidentally open my camera today and it said "failed to initialize". After that the call problem appeared again. Now I forced my camera couple times until showed the same thing, and immediately tried to call my home number and here we go, call problem. It would be sooo nice if they could just fix this goddamn error which frustrates me a lot.
It's a stock zip bug, blame it on LG, try flashing 20d haven't had a problem with it, but I'll be using cm11 soon, which I think is much better. Cheers

I sent the phone to the service and guess what?
LG service centre is saying it's damaged and can't be repaired as they do not have the necessary spare parts.
So I'm getting my money back... hopefully...
No problem with calls nor messages anymore
I do not encounter this problem anymore. It might be that some automatic update has resolved it. I am currently using Android 4.4.3, build KOT49.D60520g.
By the way, I do not know about any lost text messages anymore (another issue of this phone) - - also ghostly SMS does not reveal any messages that would be lost without the app. But I try to keep the memory not full as well.
I suddenly had a wifi problem. It happened around two weeks ago. I suddenly was not able to connect to my home wifi when I was more than 2 or 3 meter away from my router.
I've had my S3 for a little over two years now. I upgraded to 4.3 early this year. All updates were done OTA here in the Philippines. But this just suddenly happened last week. There were no updates and I can't remember ever downloading a new app that may have caused this.
I have tried absolutely everything:
1. Tried flashing new modems and kernels.
2. Tried flashing CM11 then wifi fix patch - didn't work. I flashed boeffla kernel - it just made it worse, I could connect when I was near the router but couldn't use the internet - it just showed wifi was connected but with slow or no internet.
3. I tried flashing back to stock rom and even updating with kies but still the same problem.
4. I flashed Android Revolution HD v52. Tried different modems on it. Flashed wifi fix. This still didn't work so I tried boeffla again. No luck.
5. I tried the murata fix through terminal emulator and still didn't fix it.
Right now I'm running on Android Rev HD v52. I'm still hoping someone has a way to fix this.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Can anyone help me, please??

If you really tried so much things, maybe your hardware is damaged, the wlan adapter in your smartphone or something
I had a similar thing yesterday, on stock 4.3. It started with the unstable internet messages for a week or so. Then yesterday, it would connect to wifi, but apps saw no internet. Cleaning cache did nothing, forgetting and reacquiring wifi did nothing. Factory reset did nothing. Flashing a different 4.3 did noting. Rolled back to 4.2.2, which used to work fine, and still had the problem. I had given up at this point, figuring it was a hardware problem. Flashed 4.3 again, and miraculously it started working again.
I am really getting pretty fed up with Samsung at this point.
