If you don't have any unbacked up data on there, give a Hard reset a shot (check the wiki if you don't know how).
i find out on forum that might be a battery problem.
So i'll buy a new baterry first.
tnx for help
Today i bought a new battery and now phone works normaly
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.
anyone here to rescue me from this problem ?????

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....

Hi,
I bought a mini pro sk17i a week back. I updated the phone via pc companion to 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.58). The phone was working fine, but after 2 days it started to reboot itself after a call. after 5 continuous reboot i reset the phone (erased all data), then it worked fine for 2 days. Today while i was shopping i made a call, then it started to reboot. One of the things i noticed was from that point any number i dialed was not showing in the call logs. i couldnt reset the data as i was busy shopping and kept the phone in ma pocket. Later i find the phone is switched off mode. I tried pressing power button but nothing happens. Took the battery out and re inserted the battery. did a reset and it started to work fine. When i took the battery out it was a lil hot (warm) and the phone was also warm (battery area).
Here are my questions;
1.Why did this happen.
2. The phone was a lil hot when i removed the battery, can any part inside the phone be damaged if it goes hot.
3. Is this because of hardware problem/Software problem.
(I did a full reflash using flashtool and the latest firmware, till now its working fine.. dunno if this will happen again)
seems like firmware problem to me.
take the phone to service center if haplens again.
but I guess its fixed now, tho I dont know the reason, might be something happened by updating
It happened again. I flashed back to 4.0.2.A.0.42. What could be the problem.

This might be due to any software you installing after flashing...
Try to remember what you do after flashing and uninstall that software
Else get global copy of .58 update and flash that .ftf packageby using flashtool...

Have you had this issue since flashing back to .42?
We will roll out a new software starting next week (.6x) mainly meant to improve the memory management to avoid reboots. Might be exactly what you need.
The roll out will start 12W02 but all phones won't get it at the same time so I cannot say for sure when your phone will get it.
Please post again and let me know when you got this so I know if it helped or not.

Hi Markus, Thanks for the response. As soon as i bought the phone i updated the firmware using pc companion. The flashing part went fine and the phone was working fine for 3 days, then it started reboots and turnoffs. I reinstalled the firmware and the same happened again. Then i observed this repeatedly happens when i finish call or lock the phone once it happens. i Also noticed the last called persons info is not stored in call log. But if u plug it for charging then the phone is fine. I rolled back to the previous .42 version. It was working fine for 4 days, yesterday after an hour of music playback (battery was around 44% or below) this happened again. i turned off the phone once it started restarting itself . then turned it on and cleaned the call logs. From that point its working fine without any shutdowns/restarts. Please help, i'm pretty sure that this is not a hardware issue. if the phone can run fine for 3 days without any probs..

me too when i use GPS or Wlan (.42 and .58 Firmware).
Thanks for the info.
I suggest you wait for the new update (.6x) which should hopefully be available for your phone very soon. If this won't fix the problem you have or if you don't feel like waiting for it (I cannot give an exact date when you will get it) you should contact a service center and have them examine the phone and do whatever necessary to get it working properly.
Repair routines varies a lot depending on market and local laws so you should give the local support a call and ask for some info about this if you choose to go with the service option.

Oops, double post.
I have bought xps about 20 days ago. Yesterday and today , while I was surfing the net via wifi (both times) , my phone suddenly switched off and made a restart. Did anyone experience a problem like this ?? It never happened before.
Not had that problem - infact I was just thinking today that I haven't restarted my phone for a week.. and it still feels super smooth... which I've never experienced before on Android!
Never had a sudden restart, lag or unresponsive device. Seems that you are the only one here with such a luck...
Is this a reason for returning my phone to Sony? Is sony obliged to replace my device with another one?

Unfortunately sudden restarts are very common in the android world. I think 80% of the android smartphones had at least once this problem. You should wait to see if it happen again and if so try a hard reset or a software repair using sony pc companion. If it will become a common problem even with other users sony with a future update it will fix the problem. What software version do you have .62 .67 or .73 ?
Hi,
If you have this reboot issue
Nothing can resolve this!
But,just in case
Do not use your phone with charger pluged in for long time!
This kill your battery very quick!
And cause autoreboot
And be careful with internet!
If you flash some FW or rom or kernel
Made a full charge before flash

I've had this happen to me on my Xperia S twice already while using it.
It also randomly restarts while in standby once in awhile.
Not sure what's causing this. Any suggestions?

If it's not happening very offen like twice a day, the only thing you can do is wait for the 4.0 update, because If you look in all the other android smartphone forums you will see that every android model have this issue from time to time. I think is something like the Windows OS bluescreen...very very difficult for normal users to detect where is the problem. I think with the 4.0 update the problem it will be solved. But if the Xperia S become unstable and randomly rebooting every day try a software repair with pc companion and if this is not solving the problem just go to a Sony support center and give them the smartphone for replacement.
I have the reboot twice
Refresh ROM good!
Hi, my phone also has random restarts. It becomes sluggish and unresponsive, then just restarts.
I think mine has done it once or twice when just in standby mode as well.
I actually got my first Xperia S replaced as it had this problem, but the replacement is also suffering from it.
Seen a few other people saying they have the same over on the Sony forums, so I think its a software problem somewhere.

I have .73. I didn't flash my device nor I use it when charges(and I don't let it charging for hours).
I think that there was not enough RAM at that time but I am not sure. I'll have to check it out.
I just experienced the same problem not too long ago. I was web browsing and my phone crashed and rebooted on it's own. I'm on the phone with Sony right now because I have the youtube issue as well. This sounds like a software issue.
Had mine since March 6. So far only one random reboot, none since update to 6.0.A.5.6
Sent from my SO-02D using xda premium
I called Sony Mobile Canada to report this issue. I told her others are having this issue as well. She's going to escalate it. I would like to encourage everyone who's having this problem to call Sony tech support in your Country and let them be aware of this issue. The more people call about this issue, just maybe they will work on a software fix sooner rather than later. Strength in numbers!
No restart on mine
I heavy use internet 3G/wifi on it
But,
I never flash anything on mine with flashtool or seus or pcc
Pure stock FW.67
12w14
AAD-AV
Only 2 "big" issue
Phone freeze one time
when plug charger in
VolumeUp+power solve the bug,
And the yellow tint on the screen.
Normally,when the phone keep autoreboot,or autopowerOff
It is caused by a dead battery
You can identify it
by keep hold power when the phone restart by itself
and at reboot
If the led blink 3 time red when holding power
That's indicated battery die
Or made a battery test in service *#*#7378423#*#*
But your phone is new !
So try a full charge with reset battery to get best power (volumeUp + power 5second one vibrate)
If your phone is rooted
you can delete manualy "power_supply"
in sys/class and reboot
with charger pluged in
After that,
try a full restore with seus with wipe data ect..
Can't help more :-(

It's a software issue called as sleep of death, mostly the only way to get the phone normal again is removing the battery, but it's easy to recover from, you just need to change the rom, you will need to use Odin. Reflashing with the same stock firmware will also do it.
