Hi _n0p_,
I just saw 1 line in your build.prop:
#wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=120 instead of wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=120
Might be wifi problem is that point. Because i update 0.61/62/63/64 and i changed this line so i got no problem with wifi, reboot...
I am not expert so if i am wrong, i am sorry.

No, it's not related to wifi freeze.
So far we cannot find exact reason.
Some have this problem and some don't.

Hi! I'm having serious problems with the wifi on my phone in stock global 2.1. Two weeks or so ago it started to not connect (or better say not initialize) to wifi, giving "Unable to start wifi..." message. Sometimes it connected and a while after it wouldn't let me continue browsing, connecting to Market or refreshing Facebook widget, although it still being as connected.
I decided first to restore my phone to defaults, but that did not work. Then I reflashed using X10 Flash Tool, but again with the same problems. So after that I decided to flash using PC Companion (thinking that this may miraculously resolve all). Now I'm here suffering from an "unable to connect" phone.
I've taken a log using dmesg just after this problems have come up. maybe there could be an answer to this. I'f there's a better way to log this, please tell me.
Any advice?
"2.815328] Using very old AMSS modem firmware."
Is the issue just at home or out and about?
Sorry but I don´t understand what you mean. Looking at that log it seems that something goes wrong and it shuts down just after trying to init:
"<4>[ 51.871484] ar6000_readwrite_file: file /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/detect_change filp_open error -2"
Also, you can see this more clearly from:
"<4>[ 6163.536082] Normal WIFI mode." (line 2361)

I don't understand what it means either, which is why I asked if it's just at home or out and about.
Doh! Sorry, it happens everywhere. I've tried in open and secured wifis.
Hi, this looks like the issue I have, did you had any luck fixing it?

Hi, yesterday I managed to have wifi working for at least an hour, when it normally lasts few minutes before it freezes. It was set to "never" in the "disable wifi policy", so I went to dinner and when I was back it was disconnected. Then it was not capable of getting connection again.
I have Blade Wifi Fix installed and it seems to do something. Anyway you could try to set wifi to static ip, let it connect and wait until freezes, then set it to automatic ip and reconnect. It worked for me, at least for a while. I may try again and post a logcat.
Anyway there's another threat here (see second page) where I have some more info about the problem.
Hey any luck figuring out the problem? Im still without Wi-Fi
Had to use CWM the other day and since then my wifi and hotspots aren't working. Wifi just says Error under it and my MAC address just says unknown. Not sure what happened that would've made this happen..but I've tried looking thru my build.prop files to see if somethings out of the ordinary but I'm no expert with it. Anyone else come across any issues or fixes?

It was a rogue app actually (LauncherPro Icon pack)..caused the screen to go black (with nothng working) and when I tried rebooting got stuck on the boot screen. So I reverted to an old backup and now got no wifi..
Does anyone have a stock build.prop I could review to see if there is something that's changed in mine that is causing issues with my wifi? I see lots of wifi related things in my build.prop but i'm not sure what (if anything) has changed in there that is giving me issues. Any help is appreciated.
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
Please let us know if this helped!
I am having a peculiar issue. My Wi-Fi drops out and then reconnects every 30-45 minutes or so. I have the latest version of the ROM, flashed the boot.img in the thread, but it still doesn't fix my issue. It doesn't matter how far I am away from the signal, it just drops out temporarily, and then reconnects. I can't explain it. Other than that, it seems to be working great, but before I rooted and flashed, I never had any issues of any kind with the WiFi.
Also, it may be worth noting that I don't know for sure yet, but it may also turn on the WiFi automatically even though I have it set not to. Sometimes when I am out and about, I'll get a popup saying that WiFi networks were found nearby, do you want to connect etc...
Any help will be appreciated, I love this ROM and can't see myself going back on stock but this is a pretty cumbersome issue...
Re: WiFi Issue On Venom
Have you tried it out on other routers?
And fir the asking to join networks, there is a setting in wifi>advance for that.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
About the only thing that I haven't tried is another router, but the other devices on the network don't seem to be having any issues. Then again, it is an Airport, so...Yeah, I won't fully know until I get a chance to test it elsewhere...
But I know about the advanced setting and have it disabled. That's why I'm wondering it its something in the ROM or something that I did wrong that it keeps trying to come come back. My guess is that it's disconnecting the mobile network and resetting it, just as it is doing on the WiFi...
Update
Just in case someone else runs into this issue, the problem was with an app that I used to change my host name. It would intermittently interrupt my connection trying to do that. I uninstalled it and edited my build.prop file the old fashioned way. The issue didn't have anything to do with Venom, just the fact that I had rooted and tried new things.
Thanks for your help!
This was the app that caused the issue: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tiranodroid.change.hostname

Can you please go to the advanced editing options and change the name of your thread and place "Fixed" in there so people can reference it, if need, and what app it was. Thanks.
GTI19300 Wifi problem
Hi folks.
I will start simply, my wifi only works when im very close to my router.
When im at certain distance, it appears an "authentication problem", that suddenly disappears if i get close enough to the router.
I already have searched for solutions, nothing works. At least nothing that i know how to do.
My knowledge with android sistem is minimal.
The problem isn't my router, all other smartphones works fine, just my own is having this problem.
What i have tested and had negative results.:
- *#0011# and set the wifi power saving off ( something like that)
- WPS connection works, but when i go 5 steps away from my router i cant connect to anything. It appears that wifi is connected, but doesnt works.
My GS3 has nothing "special", no ROMs, kernel or mods. Its running on 4.3 Android.
I really do not understand about android. Have seen in some posts that people changed their version and the problem was solved.
Should i try to restore the GS3? Havent tryied yet.
