[Q] Galaxy SII WiFi can't be activated

Hi,
I've just gotten a Galaxy S2 and I'm not able to switch on the WiFi-adapter... I have Android 4.0.4 on it and it just tells me that tha WiFi is gonna be activated endlessly...
I've searched here in the forum and on the internet a bit and it seems that many people encountered similar problems after they've updated from an older software version to ICS... I've already tried many things people reported on those threads to get their WiFi working again like:
every kind of wipe
downgrading to a Gingerbread firmware
using cutom kernels/ROMs (AOKP-Rom, CyanogenMod, Siyah-Kernel)
many different APKs that seemed to fix the WiFi issue on some devices (like WiFix or FXR WiFi fix and rescue)
but nothing of the above mentioned approaches worked out for me...
I've also found a post of someone who managed to get it working by making "wifi:wifi" the user of /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and change its permissions to 0777... This didn't work out neither...
And here's the really strange thing now: I was able to connect to our home network once. All i had to do was to change the WLAN-frequqncy bandwidth (I'm not sure how it's called on an english firmware, I use a german one) in Settings/WLAN/Advanced from "Auto" to "2,4GHz" for that is what I'm using at home... After I got the WiFi working with this i restarted the phone to see if this really solved the problem, but then the WiFi was gone again and since then I'm not able to change this setting anymore because the phone doesn't save any changes I make for this option in the Advanced settings anymore. When I change this setting, leave the advanced settings section tha WiFi doesn't work and when I open advanced settings again the WLAN-frequency bandwidth is set to "Auto" again.
So I'd like to ask if anyone has an idea what else I might try to get it working or if anyone knows where the config-file is where the above mentioned settings are saved so that I could try to change this manually or if anyone encountered a similar problem and already knows the solution for it...
Btw, I don't think that this is a hardware issue because like I mentioned above I was already able to connect to the network successfully once...
thanks in advance

There are some reports of leaked acid from the internal button battery (BAT500) which ruined some surrounding components, such us some resistors causing WiFi malfunction.
Not sure if that could be your case, but it could be worth give it a try and disassembly your SGS2 just in case. If you have a damaged/leaked internal battery then you could just remove it and clean the zone with CRC. That battery just helps to store the date and time when the "big" battery is removed.
This is a link to a spanish forum where you will find some pictures of the affected battery: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=454012
And this is a "how to disassemble SGS2" video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=65pvAINg2ME

T-mobile Galaxy s3 connects to router but not google play

Hey guys, I know you all are super anal about searching for problems first before posting but I've yet to find a thread that actually fixes this specific problem. It's a little different than the other threads I've seen. Basically my phone can connect to my interwebs and I can browse webpages on dolphin browser but I can't connect to the play store. I've tried going to the play store on my desktop and trying to download apps to my phone that way but they never start downloading on my phone. I've tried resetting my router, multiple times yet it only worked once and hasn't worked any other trys after that. I've also tried dialing multiple " *# " numbers, some don't even connect and *#0011#* gave me an error about my connectiong and an invalid MMI. My router is secured through a WPA-key. Another thing that just recently started up was that snapchat would give me an error when I open it saying it has stopped working. Unrelated perhaps but maybe not.
I've been able to connect to other routers at other houses and my school, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I've noticed that when the wifi signal icon turns blue then everything will work. When it's grey, it's a complete toss up on whether it'll work or not.
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 10.2-20130925
I can't post pics because i'm too new... only created this to get a solution
If it's t-mobile USA, you're in the wrong forum. This is the i9300 forum. Which model do you have?

[Q] 3G not working properly

I own a Galaxy S II that runs CM 11. I usually get a brown colored icon for mobile network symbol in my power menu most of the time. I tried doing some googling and I found that something called "fast dormancy" may/may not have something to do with it. Firstly, I don't know if SGS2 supports FD. Secondly, I want to know whether this is the root cause. I edited my build.prop file to add FD property but it changed nothing.
When the icon is brown, I will get a window of few seconds where I will receive WhatsApp notifications (this happens after every reboot I do with the 3G switched on!). Even though, I receive notifications from messengers, I am not able to send messages. Forget about accessing social networks! This thing has been bugging me for two weeks now. What's the fix? I'm quite sure that something other than FD is responsible for this.
Reboots didn't help.
Putting the mobile on and off flight mode didn't work.
Please help.

I don't know or your provider supports fast dormancy I suggest to try to turn it off to see or that's the cause.
As far as I know the brown/orange icon means that you don't have connection to google servers/internet. It's odd that you are receiving but you can't send anything. As far as I have my computer knowledge, you've got some setting issue. Like it receives the data from the server but it sends it probably to the wrong location. Is there somewhere in the settings where you could enter manually your 3g settings from your provider? I can't specific tell you how since I don't own a smartphone for 5 months already and I never really used 3g.
If setting flighmode on and off doesn't work then I still think it's an issue just like you need to set on somethings your email server like from which server it receives stuff and to which server you are sending stuff.

I tried adding those parameters to turn off FD in build.props file! It didn't work! Maybe I should ask the network provider for fresh settings !!!

Yes I should ask that, you could also maybe try first another custom rom to verify it's your provider, But the orange icon means that you are already connected but there are still some issues.
Ask them for your problem and I hope for you that your problem gets solved:good: 2 weeks is a long time so they can't ignore you.

ERROR 404 on every url

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy Note 3 running KitKat and since yesterday I've been unable to load any webpage in any browser. It's as though my phone is unable to find the index page of directories or something.
Some examples of URLs and the errors:
www.google.com/ - "Got the error: Not Found while trying to obtain /
www.en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page - "Got the error: Not Found while trying to obtain /wiki/Main_Page
I typed those out as examples, probably wrong links.
I've tried in Chrome, default Internet browser and LastPass browser, same problem. It also happens when connecting via Wi-Fi or 4G so I'm pretty much unable to use the internet on my phone at this point.
Does anyone have any ideas? I also have an issue with Wi-Fi endless disconnects but I believe that's an issue with KitKat and/or TouchWiz. Thought I'd mention it here in case anyone has a solution for that either
Anyone? I can't use some of my apps either as they show 404 Some do work so I do have a connection.
Got the same problem last few days, using newest Chrome on LG G3 (stock bumped rom KK). Did an updated of AdBlock but turning it off doesn't help neither does reinstalling chrome. Tried Firefox but didn't help.
EDIT:
Reboot helped, after second try every website seems to open.

Did you spoof your MAC address on your router? I had a problem a few months ago when I changed my MAC address only parts of websites would open, but then not others. I was real confused until I changed my MAC back to default and everything worked. Some how I had managed to pick some MAC that conflicted with something in some way. I respoofed it with a similar MAC to the original and everything was fine. Hope that's all that's wrong here too. Cheers!

Can't change static wifi settings

Just wondering if anyone else has this issue. We have two networks at home and I need to switch between them quite often. I do so by changing the default gateway on my statically-set wifi settings, but since Pie the changes aren't saved. I can't even change my IP without forgetting and re-adding the connection. I change the gateway IP then go back (since I see no "save" button) but googling "ip" shows I'm still on the original network and if I go back into the wifi settings I can see it hasn't changed.
This is super frustrating. Am I alone? Is there a fix for this?
At the bottom right corner should be the Save-Button. Maybe you have to hide the keyboard to make it visible

How odd. I don't remember seeing that but I see it now. I'll check whether it's different when editing the settings on my home wifi after work. Hopefully I was just blind because I'd like to be able to save my wifi settings.

Right so I tested it again. Definitely wasn't blind. I was already pressing Save without noticing but yeah, it still doesn't work. Very much broken. Does it actually save any changes for you? For instance, if you go in and attempt to change your IP address, are you able to save it?
I've tried it, and it also doesn't save any changes. Then this is a bug of the Firmware.

Yeah I assumed it was but I wasn't certain if it was just me or not. Thanks for testing that and confirming! I'm on live chat with Samsung atm and the dude is checking with his phone, which is also on Pie apparently. Hopefully he can file a bug report if he can replicate.
Was a bug ever filed for this? I have the same. Issue. Cannot get it to change and save the static ip

I'm not sure when it changed but I noticed recently that on the current update it's fixed for me. I'm on Android 9 Pie. The exact build number in settings is PPR1.180610.011.G965FXXS4CSDH, if that's helpful.
If you still can't get it working, tell the network to "forget" and then re-add it, and set the static IP before you save for the first time and that should work.
That workaround works thanks.
hi guys, i tried on build PPR1.180610.011.N950FXXS7DSH1 its not saving wither with workaround or with normal way.
Any suggestio
