the galaxy s2 of my officemate is experiencing the said problem, whenever i try to open wifi, it will open and scan for almost 2 minutes and then wifi will turn off. several attempts will lead to FC of wifi and you have to restart the phone so you can try to open wifi again. i also noticed that when i turn the phone off, it will not turn on again unless i press vloume down + home + power button.
Tell your officemate to flash a decent ROM and don't touch the phone if he/she doesn't know what is doing...
I bet he/she has a custom kernel or has touched something it shouldn't be touched...
Have to agree that this sounds like a bad ROM and I would suggest you go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and use Odin to revert back to an official ROM which should fix your problem.
Hope this helps
sorry i forgot to mention that the phone is not rooted and just using a stock/official rom

My problem was unable to turn on wifi, wifi stuck at the stage of turning on.... and forever like that cant off and on.
Most probably is hardware problem coz i have tried many ways to solve including flash back to stock rom,change modem,change kernel and etc.
good luck for you,hope you are not the same problem with me.

Wifi is kernel-related.
So, try to flash another kernel to test.
Or if you don't want to flash another kernel, check in menu Settings > wifi > (menu button) Advanced > Use static ip.
Try to enabled and connect.
Then disable and try to connect.
If that does not help, try to wipe cache (and Dalvik cache) in recovery mode.
Press Volume UP + Home + Power buttons as long as the recovery menu appears, then select wipe cache and reboot the phone.
P.S.: Check the configuration of your wifi router / WLAN access point, that is allows your phone to connect.
ok so i did everything again just to be sure and... my mistake! the problem starts not after the rom flashing but after cf root! have i done something wrong maybe?
I would say look for a custom rom that is already pre-rooted so then it should have all bugs to do with wifi removed.
I used to have a problem with the wifi myself which caused problems when turning it into a wireless hot spot and then wouldn't turn back off again.
But now im on the Custom Rom I am having no problems with wifi at all.
Hope this helps.

Actually, I would say try a different kernel. CF-root is a kernel. Wifi drivers are in the kernel. Ergo... ?
Wifi is kernel related issue
try changing your kernel
you mite wanna chk dis

Im having the same problem here, any luck so far?
may have something to do with the root. my phone had this issues once. just flash your phone with the correct rom and do NOT root it again as it may have something to do with the root itself. or just something got messed up during the rooting process
Hello awesome people
I`ve been looking for people with the same problem as me, but my problem seems to be opposite of everybody elses...
I have been using GoLauncher for a while, but decided to try apex, since i think golauncher has gotten to much bloatware lately. also decided to try a new sms program called Pansi, then the fun started... I tried to send an mms with pandi and the phone for the first time in a month rebooted... then after the boot, the phone suddenly started go into a freezelock everytime the screensaver came on, sometimes i could use the power on button to get the phone to restart or shut down. and after a while i could not get past the pin code screen, so i did a factory reset, installed the lastest official update, phone booted and everything was appearing ok, but no... Did some searching and found out that some that was having the same problem used the "#*0011* and select wifi and turn the power saver off. So no I got rid of the freezelock, but my wifi is all stupid, and disconnects me all the time saying that there is a poor connection even though the signal strenght is excellent. If i turn power saving mode on, the wifi works great, but the phone will freeze on screen unlock
I also used the Toolkit from Mark Skippen to root and maybe the fix was there but still problems, any help would be appreciated...

tl;dr
phone freeze with wifi power saving mode on
wifi not working when wifi powersaving mode off

Hi, I think i've got the same issue.
I had the i9300XXLH1 stock rom (no problem so far)
But then I used the mskip's Toolkit to root it (insecure ALE8 Kernel + CWM Touch recovery)
Then the wifi problems starts :
If wifi is on and connected to an AP -> ok
if wifi is on but not connected -> freezelock (be patient and the touchscreen will come back)
sometimes i can't get wifi working at all...
Any idea ?
Use CF (chainfire) root. It won't mess with the kernel that is supposed to go with the latest rom. Now you are using old kernel with new rom.
Hope this helps
Thank you, will try a factory reset full wipe and try again with chainfire

Hi all,
I've started to have an issue with my HTC One X+ where it won't automatically connect to (any) Wi-Fi.
If I then go to settings, Wi-Fi appears as 'Disconnected' but the slider button says 'On'.
If I try and turn it off, it wont turn off. Then 'settings' ends up hanging.
The only way around it is a reboot, but this happens every day now, seems to normally happen when I return home and expect it to drop 3G and connect up to my homes Wifi (as it always has done?).
I really don't want to do a factory reset... I can't say that I've changed anything to cause this...
Does anyone else have the same issue and have you been able to resolve it?
Thanks
I'm having the same problem, but for me I know it didn't start happening until after I did the update. Not sure how to fix either.
Are you both on stock ROM?
I had similar problem after OTA update from AT&T. It was worse than yours since I wasn't able to enable WIFI at all, it just stuck on the "turning on" state. I was able to fix the problem by re-flashing the boot.img following this post:

Btw my phone is rooted but running the stock rom.
Hope this helps.

Yes I'm stock and locked right now because I have some problems I need to return the phone under warranty for, and I have the problem where it is just stuck trying to turn on. Thanks for the link, but until I switch this one under warranty I don't want to do any modifications to void the warranty. As soon as I get the new one I will be unlocking and rooting it immediately, not doing so is killing me right now.
Well just reboot in bootloader mode and flash the correspondent RUU. You know how to find the good version?
Hi, I'm having a curious problem with my S3 and I've been unable to solve it. I watched the "noob" video and tried searching these forums as well as a google search with various combinations of the wording for my problem. Nothing matching my issue turned up, I hope I didn't miss anything.
I recently bought a S3 second hand (yes, i know, i should have known better). It was rooted and running some kind of custom ROM when I first turned it on, but I was willing to deal with it until I double checked the procedure for getting it back to stock and starting again myself (nothing against the original rooting and flashing, just like to know exactly what I'm running).
When I purchased the phone I obviously checked that all of the main things worked - calling, texts, mobile data, wi-fi etc. I get home and connect to my home wi-fi and start checking things out and setting stuff up. The phone randomly rebooted. I carry on after the reboot and about 10 mins later, another restart.
To cut a long story short, there is something wrong with the wi-fi. If I turn off wi-fi in the settings menu and reboot, everything works great. No crashes, no reboots. If however I enable the wi-fi about 50% of the time it will crash while wi-fi is activating. The other 50% of the time, it will crash as it goes into the screen lock (either via timeout or pressing the button).
I've re-flashed to it's stock version of Android (using the 'Samsung GS3 Toolkit and Odin), same problem. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance
You can try updating the modem and RIL to the right version for your country, search in general forum. If it still reboots then try with another wifi source - I've seen some routers cause problems on client machines.
If you do a factory reset when you flash the modem, plus you have the latest stock ROM on board, then any remaining problems are probably hardware.
Test it fully after the factory reset, before you add any apps etc.

After much experimentation and flashing of various files to my phone I have further narrowed the problem. I've still not solved it, but getting closer I feel.
After a clean ROM flash it works like a charm regardless of how much i use the wifi etc. It's only after the first reboot that the trouble starts. It will begin randomly restarting. If I perform a factory reset from recovery mode, it works again, but starts resetting again after a reboot.
Any ideas?
Hello guys, firstly, I wanna say this issue I encountered is pretty anodyne, but anyway, I wanna solve it cause it's annoying.
So, I was using a S2 with CM10.2 installed and I wanted to replace it with the [ZERO]BUG ROM v5.0+Premium Suite to, basically, improve its battery life and other minor issues. So I executed an "unclean" install, cause I directly entered CWM and installed the ROM, without installing the stock 4.1.2 via Odin and then again root the phone and install CWM. So it went ok apparently, but everytime I try to lock the screen, it surely locks, but no lock screen appears when I turn it on. Plus, the phone shuts down when I keep the power button pressed 2 seconds, and no power menu appears on the screen before that.
I thought it was a bad "coordination" between the two ROMs, because of the unclean installation, so I installed stock 4.1.2 via Odin to keep in that ROM cause it's pretty good, but still no lock screen or power menu.
So I wanna know how to solve this, cause I'd like to sell the phone and it has to be perfect for that. I don't care to stay in stock, go for CM or another custom CM/stock-based, I just wanna solve it.
So thanks in advance to all of you who are trying to help me.
