I have bought (little used) S2 yesterday and Installed Custom ROM. It was XWKE2 (France).
Then I try to turn on Wifi and Scan Networks. But its not working (Couldn't check with original firmware)
How can i fix this ?
Tried re-flashing stock XWKE2, clearing delvik. Noting worked :/

Other issue i have identified is, Key lights keep on even after power off :/
Turn off Wifi on your phone and turn off the Router for a few minutes. Turn it back on and turn Wifi back on your phone. If that doesn't work go to advanced wifi options on your phone by going to the wifi settings and press the menu button(left of Home Button) and pick Advanced, set the Regulatory domain to a low channel and Wifi policy to Never and see if that helps.
If it still doesn't work set a static IP to 192.168.0.9 and Gateway to your Routers gateway that can be found out clicking on start,run,typing cmd to pull up the command prompt and than typing ipconfig. Set Subnetmask to 255.255.255.0
If it still doesn't work maybe you may need to Replace the Router ?

Nooo .. Router works fine But Mobile don't scan them. After several scans it wifi settings get stuck :/
It could also be a problem with the kernel. You could just try flashing a new one from a zip file.

So your phone can't even see your Router at all? or can it see it but it doesn't connect? if it can't see it at all than it is most definitely broken. Try setting the router to a low channel.

Your IMEI is also missing. It could be that you corrupted your efs file.
Do you have a backup of this???

Return the phone it's broken, Wifi not being detected at all and the key lights still on when the phone is off is a big problem.

Not sure what you mean by erasing IMEI since you need that for your phone to function?
can you post up what your phone tells you when you dial *#1234# and *#06#
Ah right I see. I couldn't tell from my phone.
I think the best thing would be to flash a stock ROM, use USB jig to reset flash counter and the send it to a repair centre even though you don't have a receipt they should be able to get warranty info from the IMEI.

I have the same problem with my newly bought Samsung Galaxy S2.
After running nicely for one month, the wifi has suddenly stopped working. I will explain the symptoms here so that someone can please help me. Its really urgent.
The wifi refuses to detect any networks. In my computer and other mobile phone, there are atleast three wifi networks which are being scanned. The wifi on the Galaxy S2 turns on, scans for a while and then turns off again.
On repeatedly trying to turn on the wifi, or using the home screen wifi toggle button, the phone hangs and the wifi icon turns light green.
If I try to switch off the phone, the keyboard lights at the bottom stay on - until I remove the battery manually.
Have tried a factory reset and flashing the phone with different firmwares downloaded from the net. Still no luck. Can someone please tell me whether this is a software problem or is my hardware bust?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having this issue since 3-4 days. The phone was working perfectly, and I remember I switched it off for a couple of hours. When I came back and turned it on, the wifi started acting up.
I don't recall exposing it to water. I have a problem with sweat though, sticking on the screen. I had showed it to a Samsung rep, he said it is due to moisture. Don't trust him though. Have again given it to another rep. Let's see tomorrow.

So we can stop seeing these over and over and over again.
Common issues:
1. If it goes to sleep, it may not wake up. Force reboot by holding down the power button and center button on the front of the screen for 15 seconds.
2. Wifi may not connect. Try disabling and re-enabling wifi. That may not work still, try rebooting. That may still not work.. come back later, it may work then. Seriously, I rebooted 20 times with no luck, cycling and cycling, no luck still, set it down to charge for a few minutes, came back, walla, all was good. Now, I was at least able to connect for a bit... and then LATER it stopped working.. if you were NEVER able to connect, that may be a different story. Worst case, do a wipe data/factory reset in CWM, that should fix it.
Another bit that may help:
Go to wifi settings. Click your router and forget. Turn wifi off then back on again. Then connect back to your router with your password

Also, go to Settings | Wireless & Networks | Wi-Fi Settings .. click the Menu button, then click Advanced. Turn your Wifi Sleep Policy to Never, so that it stays on when your screen goes off, that should help, though it may drain your battery. But, its an alpha, so oh well.
5. Google apps are missing. Install gapps. You obviously didn't read ANY thread about it, so go back to it and do it again. Or be lazy and get it here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Google_Apps
Flash that zip in CWM.
4. Market has apps missing. There is a fix now.

On that page, it links you to the fix.. here it is
http://www.multiupload.com/5MKAKAKUM6
(If I'm not supposed to link directly to that, let me know, I'll remove it).
Just flash this fix in CWM. If you don't know how to do that, don't use this alpha, but also.... mash in one of the download links into your browser in android, download it. Now it probably put it into your 'download' directory on your "sd card". Reboot into "Recovery" or choose Recovery in the boot loader. Go to Install Zip from SD Card.. and choose zip from sd card.. then navigate to your 'download' directory, select it, and walla, market is now fixed.

joshts0 - Big thanks man. I was just thinking about starting a thread just like this one! I was reading through the "CM7 on the Touchpad" thread and almost shot myself! It's ridiculous how many people have asked the same question about wifi, how to reboot, etc, when the answer was 2 pages previous! Frustrating!
So far I have had the most problems with WiFi, i am unable to connect to my WAP encrypted home network however I am able to connect to my unsecured Phone hotspot. Is this port only able to connect to unsecured networks?
I've been able to connect to my WPA2-PSK-AES access point so it might be something else.
i was intermittent wifi connection. then somebody gave me the idea that it could be the dual channel setting in my router. The way you fix this is by going into advance wifi settings and then check regulatory domain. I picked 14 channels to match my DLink. after this fix no more wifi drops. love it

It is definitely able to connect to encrypted networks... but there are less (no?) problems with unsecured networks. Try some of the ideas listed here and see what happens, and most importantly don't give up. I **** you not, mine just magically started working despite doing the same thing over and over again.

Try going to cwm and wiping data/factory reset, and seeing it works then?
You might want to add that for problem #1, you can avoid it by never press the power button to turn off the display. Instead, you should let it time out by itself.

Can you get into CWM ?

Supposedly, setting the minimum cpu frequency to 384 instead of 192 will prevent sleep from sticking.
For Facebook force-closes, install Fake GPS from the market and set a location. Facebook is crashing because it's trying to use the GPS to locate you.
Set wifi sleep policy under advanced wifi (press menu under wifi settings) to minimize wifi issues. Battery life is affected, power draw will be about 1.25% per hour with screen off
The other CM7 thread disappeared. I recalled reading a fix for the missing songs, may I know what is the fix again ?
this thread isn't stickied? the OP is extremely helpful
Seems like some apps (Adfree, ES File Explorer etc), even with root privileges, cant mount the system as rw. Is there a fix for this?
I also tried Terminal Emulator but it says that the mount the command missing
Ooh that's why adfree crashed... I'll update the first post with any of these tricks in a few.. I've been testing some myself to see if they work for me . Been letting it sleep on its own without pressing the power button and so far haven't had one problem... But I didn't have it very much in the first place. My girlfriend said hers kept not waking up though so i'm having her experiment with it. She is just happy to have Swype.

Hello everybody
Problem:
Since the first ROM (XXALE8) till the newest ROM (XXBLFB) I have the same bug on every ROM. When I stay in an WLAN / WIFI for a longer time and the phone goes in standby, after wake up, the WLAN / WIFI gets stuck and is not working anymore.
Means that the connection is still there but no data is received at all!
The WLAN / WIFI symbol then shows only that it is sending data like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After reading around a little bit in different forums and here on XDA, I found out, that many others have this problem and that there is a fix for it:
Disabling the "WIFI Power Save Mode" solves the problem and it is done like this:
- Type in your phone dialer *#0011#
- Press menu key to open the options-menu
- Press "WIFI"
- Hit the button to turn off "WIFI Power Save Mode"
Problem is that this have to be done again after every reboot because the Power Save Mode is set back to ON after reboot.

- Does it perhaps belong to the settings on the WIFI Hotspot / WLAN Router?

Fix / Solve:
In my opinion it seems, that it is like this:
- It's not a problem of the WIFI Hotspot / WLAN Router
- It's a problem of some ROMs in addition with old/false system-files
And in my case I could fix it like this:
- Make a backup of all user-apps and system-files with Titanium Backup
- Flash the actual newest ROM (XXBLFB) via Odin (PC-Odin)
- Flash the CF-Root via Odin
- Go to CWM-recovery and do a wipe data / factory reset
- Restore everything with Titanium Backup
- Enjoy WIFI / WLAN working without bugs!

I have the same problem with you, now also is to find a solution, I doubt is the device itself.
Just try on my phone:
-put the wifi on
-update my weather widget just to be sure that wifi connection works
-let the phone goes to standby
-put it on my desk for about half an hour
Just a few minutes ago, I take the phone and the wifi connection still works...
Yeah got that disconnected problem to. Helped a lot when on LFB,but it's hasn't disappeared,only disconnected 4 times in 24h.normally 20-30 times a day.

Yes, that could be! But it could not be that a new Samsung Phone with original Firmware has such problems!
Do nobody have news about this topic?
Another question: is there a way to get more to stock/original, than doing a wipe data in recovery? I mean for example after I flashed a stock rom like XXBLFB..
I have this same problem too. I have WiFi set to 'stay connected only when plugged in'
It only really happens when the phone has had quite a few mins to go into a deep sleep. I wake it up, and it never reconnects to my router.
If i go to WiFi, it says it's scanning, but it never finds or connects to the router. I also cannot manually connect.
I have to turn WiFi off and then on again to get it working.
This is the only bloody thing that annoys me with my phone - if anyone has any ideas, please please post!
ta!
on LFB, haven't had this happen yet.
So I got it working now, look at the first post for my method to get rid of this annoying WIFI / WLAN bug!
Perhaps some of you, that have the same bug can test this method? Is it working for you?

I can't turn on the wifi. When I toggle the wifi button on, it keeps saying (turning on...) but it toggles back to off all by itself. I can't even see the screen where it list available networks.
Earlier in the morning I can still browse the internet using my wifi at home. While I was watching TV, I grab my phone to check emails and IMs only to discover that I can't connect to my wifi anymore. My laptop and tablet can connect to it though.
Things that I tried:
1. Reset the router
2. Disabled wifi power saving on the phone
3. Re-flashed custom rom (still no good)
4. Re-flashed stock rom (no luck either)
5. Tried several modems and kernels
6. Tried playstore wifi fixer apps
Any help would be appreciated. This is very frustrating for me because I can't use mobile data all the time and I don't have a spare phone for now (to be used for internet, especially for work purposes).
Have you tried reflashing a rom with wipe? Or flashing another rom?
If you have similar issues with other roms and you in fact did full wipe then I'd say that this looks like a hardware problem.

I have seen something similar on a i9100 before - the cause there was a damaged EFS partition - you should check if the info under About device -> Status is still correct (at least the MAC address under WiFi and the IMEI). That being said there are many other possible problems, including a hardware problem with the internal WiFi adapter

Yes, I've tried those already but to no avail. If it is a hardware problem, how much will it cost me to fix my wifi? I have lost my proof of purchase so I can't claim my warranty.

I have no idea, take your phone to any repair center and tell them to take a look. I'd say that this is in fact hardware problem, maybe your wi-fi adapter is broken or something like that.
Also if you don't have any warranty then it's the only way to get it fixed I suppose.

Anybody who experienced this problem with regards to wifi?
I can't turn on the wifi. When I toggle the wifi button on, it keeps saying (turning on...) but it toggles back to off all by itself. I can't even see the screen where it list available networks.
Earlier in the morning I can still browse the internet using my wifi at home. While I was watching TV, I grab my phone to check emails and IMs only to discover that I can't connect to my wifi anymore. My laptop and tablet can connect to it though.
Things that I tried:
1. Reset the router
2. Disabled wifi power saving on the phone
3. Re-flashed custom rom (still no good)
4. Re-flashed stock rom (no luck either)
5. Tried several modems and kernels
6. Tried playstore wifi fixer apps
Any help would be appreciated. This is very frustrating for me because I can't use mobile data all the time and I don't have a spare phone for now (to be used for internet, especially for work purposes).

It is a modem - kernel issue, try either or.
I am having a peculiar problem since last 20-25 days. In home network, after some time of inactivity, my phone network stops working. I can see full network range on screen and H+ access but neither can I make calls nor use Data. I have to restart the phone to get it going again. When I go to roaming, this problem disappears.
I restored the phone to factory settings to negate a possibility of my OS going corrupt. But now the problem has started again.
I use Vodafone 3G network in India.

No.. I meant contacting Vodafone.
Have u installed any app that may interfere with ur internet connectivity (like battery saving apps)?
If you were rooted, I would suggest you try changing your modem.

Yes. Called up Vodafone yesterday. First guy sent me the 3g settings since he didn't understand what my problem was. Then i had to talk to his supervisor. He asked me to visit nearest gallery. When I asked him to log a service request he suggested that I keep settings for network search on manual. When I protested he finally locked call. But don't know what he had typed in the call lock. Anyway. Will changing the sim card help
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I really doubt changing the sim will help. If you can, go to the store in person & keep insisting that it's nothing to do with your APN. If you can, show him the problem, not just tell him what happens. Ie, take the phone when it won't connect at all. Then restart the phone & show him it works.

Fyi.i used this sim on samsung wave and I didnt face problem so I suspect its my galaxy s2 that's giving problems
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I suspect too. Just to check, on your wave what are your APN settings? Compare them to try our APN settings on your s2. If they're different, try changing the ones on your s2 to match the ones on the wave.

I tried something tonight. In network mode, i selected GSM only and the network didnt go off. even edge service is running properly
The problem happens when the phone is in GSM/WCDMA(Auto mode)
I confirmed this again twice, thrice. If I keep the phone in GSM only mode, no network issues. All steady. If I move to GSM/WCDMA (Auto) mode, after a period of inactivity(cannot quantify) the phone shows full bars and 3G symbol, but no data can be interchanged or calls received/made. I have to restart the phone to access network again in that mode.
This happens only at my home(so i assume only on one tower)
Go talk to the network provider
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Already done that. They have not taken action. I Don't expect this problem to be solved by the technologically challenged customer care team of Vodafone in India.
upon further investigation I found on the Internet that this problem happens when network provider is upgrading from a lower to higher technology which uses different spectrum. The solution is to access *#*#4636#*#* and change default mode to gsm auto (prl) mode which will ensure that it will prefer gsm over wcdma but jump to wcdma when a minimum signal threshold is achieved. Sadly I am unable to access that menu since Samsung must have disabled it.
Any solution to that?

Can someone please give me a solution to activate the *#*#4636#*#* menu on Samsung Galaxy SII running stock ROM in India. I think my problem will be solved if that is done.
Does anyone know what these are. I changed aquisition mode from UMTS-GSM to GSM-UMTS. Check screen shots. I got this from*#0011# and then pressing back and then phone control and network info

I finally flashed cynogenmod 10.1 and the issue was resolved. Now the issue was that all my backup via kies(contacts messages emails etc cannot be restored) also couldn't get Google apps. So had to reflash to stock.
Anyone know where to get the Google package? And how to restore the backup created kies to cm10.1?

I know there's a topic for February update, but I want to address wifi issue in a separate one, so we could easily maybe find a solution.
I have tried so far to clear network settings with no success at all. Then rebooted phone, wifi came back, but when phone gets to sleep (screen lock), wifi will turn off and no way to turn back.
Then from Google Pixel 6 telegram group was a suggestion to stop Adaptive Connectivity, so I stopped it, rebooted phone, but at some moment wifi was gone once again and you can't turn it on.
Please reply here with some tricks that we want to try to fix the problem. I don't want to root or modify phone, but if there's no other option - I will do it.

If you haven't unlocked your bootloader, your options are very limited. You could try sideloading the OTA and see if that helps.
For an unlocked bootloader I would suggest simply reflashing the baseband image, but that isn't possible if the bootloader is locked.

I'm sorry, I am so new to P6 that I didn't know this. I saw that the P6 takes some effort to get into stock recovery (wow! power off, boot with volume down and power keys, freak out a bit at the sick robot image, then use keys to scroll to recovery mode). I just assumed there would be a wipe cache in the wipe data/reset option. I've never seen a phone without that option, as far as I can remember. What a weird thing to omit!
Did you try doing it from the Settings app? (Storage... free up space... cleaning... junk). On past phones I've had less success doing it from this kind of menu than from doing it from recovery, but worth a try.
I won't reset my phone. It's my daily driver and I have read already an article that reset doesn't clear the issue.

I haven't seen any workarounds for this bug as of yet. Let's hope Google gets on it. Maybe a Carrier Services update or something will fix it. Btw, I don't have this problem (knock on wood).
I only have it installed for 9h but so far is working fine for me.

You might have hit on something. After the update I still hadn't installed the latest beta carrier services which was 91. 424 or something. Right after I updated I had 3 updates CS being one of then to 92.x. They wouldn't install so I was like wtf all 3 pending. Rebooted nothing. Then I turned off wifi and all updated fine. Turned back on wifi and no problems since. I didn't test the wifi but now it seems reasonable that was the culprit. Can't be sure though.
My WiFi Mac address is unavailable, I would guess that's the reason I can't turn on wifi.
definitely experiencing wifi issues. would reboot device, wifi would need to be turned on, then it connects to my wifi and works fine, put the phone down and come back in a couple of minutes, its no longer connected to the wifi and I can't even turn wifi on. updated carrier services like bobby did and it's still behaving the same. I did the feature update before the security update and wasn't having this issue so this is directly tied to the security update.

November? If you're going to downgrade why not use the January one, why go that far back?
For me wifi works after network reset yesterday but i never had the described problem that wifi turns off when phone is locked and can not be turned back on. Instead of that yesterday i noticed that when phone locks at some point in time it does not have internet anymore despite the fact that it shows to be connected to wifi. Turn off and on wifi fixed it for some time. I did network reset yesterday afternoon and have not seen this behavior since that time.
I am having hotspot issues. I setup the pixel 6 as a hotspot for my other devices to use on the go, it worked for two days since I updated the device, but today suddenly none of my other devices can connect to the hotspot (the hotspot is discovered and the other devices can connect to it, but cannot access internet)

I did network reset 10 times maybe already and still no Wi-Fi after that. Only option is to reboot phone, but fix is for some minutes until phone get locked.
If I put screen time out to 10 minutes, then Wi-Fi is working just fine. At some point I touch the phone and another 10 minutes Wi-Fi is OK. If I change time out to my default 30 seconds, then I have no Wi-Fi in 1-2 minutes...
To everybody having problems with wifi - did you try disabling adaptive connectivity?

That doesn't help as several users in the reddit + google threads confirmed, neither does a factory reset which Google still likes to recommend

Not rooted yet. How do I revert to January?

Only one way. Full wipe of device, by unlocking the bootloader. And only if it's unlockable. Or turn off wifi and wait for the fix.
