Wifi Disconnect ICS - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

No matter what ICS I install the wifi keeps on disconnecting, I keep having to switch the wifi on/off or reboot the phone to reconnect, have tried about 3 other modems but the problems still keeps on happening. Using Gingerbread I have no issues. Any ideas as its frustrating as wanna use ICS but for reliability I am keep on finding myself going back to Gingerbread. Any ideas why this keeps happening or can someone recommend a modem which is stable on ICS I live in the UK if that makes any difference. Cheers

Dude,
First,their are many ICS threads,exery type of rom have its own thread so post in the appropriate thread
Second,This is alpha/beta roms,so expect bugs
Third,this is not Q/A section post in Q/A next time if u have question

Same issues here..

I am guessing this could be a known issue then!

All Beta have problems that's why the forum is clogged up with ICS beta rom problems .

WIFI working fine here on XXLPB. If you install any 3rd party wifi managers that are yet to be compatible with ics it might be a problem

same issue here, did rollback, all good again..

I have wifi disconnect issues on all LPB roms except CM9 which I'm sticking with as its way awesome.

I think it's rubbish were now in Feb and still don't have a stable ICS and by the times it's out the SG3 will be available. Samsung really need to get the act together.

ICS kernels, leaks, ROMs, oh my

With all the kernels and releases coming out, what is the general consensus on when ICS ROMs will be considered stable or feature-complete?
Was the recent i777 leak what developers were looking for to complete/optimize ICS ROMs? Or are we still waiting on i777 kernel source? Is Entropy's kernel a long-term solution?
Just wondering when to flash.
Thanks forum.

I would say we already have some stable ics roms like aokp and shomans rom and a few others im running ics now its perfect

But I remember being schooled about "oh we need i777 kernel source before we get ICS" whenever I inquired. We don't seem to have i777 source, but i9000 is good enough?
Let me rephrase my question, how much better will the current ROMs get when i777 kernel source is released? Will we see an AOSP ROM?

I have yet to find a single bug running Shoman's rom. Your mileage may vary, read the thread et cetera but if you're asking when to flash I'd just go for it.
+1 on Shoman's ICS rom. It has operated flawlessly for me.
I9100 source is what we needed. We're only a little bit behind I9100 now. I9100 ICS has some nasty stability problems, I'm hoping to fix them before releasing DD for ICS. I'm working with gokhanmoral and a few others on it, it's not I777 unique.

SHOstock ICS rom is amazingly stable and already in 5th release with more on the way
CM9 now has nightly builds for I-777. I fell in love with CM7 and am really liking the official CM9 nighty builds so far.
ICS leak
The ICS i777 leak, which has been bundled as a cwm zip without bootloaders
is working good for me with only a few minor bugs
alarms not working
wifi only scans after toggle
battery stats graph crashes
I don't know how this compares to i9100, the ICS leak is the first I've tried.
It's stable enough for me to not look back and stick with ICS
I'd definitely recommend SHOstock2, it's head and shoulders above the ATT leak in a lot of ways and I haven't had a single crash or noticed any bugs since installing RC4.

I agree with the uclc2 leak, I had the following issues: Titanium Backup would not install any of my games+data and 1/2 my apps would not install. From what I could tell were any of the apps and games that I had moved over to sd card would not be restored under the leak. Than all of a sudden, my phone had locked up after getting most of my apps *from the batch restore missing apps and data* and quit even getting service when wifi was on and try to turn off wifi = lockup/reboot. Really weird after 4 hours of running it. Under SHOstock2 Rc4 everything restored properly and even upgrading to rc5 which gave back the multi toggle options and running very stable. Zero issue with it.
HTH,
Charlie
I've been running LilChris's phone-bricker with zero problems. Restored apps and data using tibu. Fast and smooth.

Been running the AOKP build from Ported Dev thread with no major problems. Only problem is that when I am listening to music and a text or notification comes in, the music volume is lowered by 2 notches, then when I try to turn it up it goes by about 3 notches. Its a balancing act to get the volume back. Thats my only grippe. I havent had much time to read so I dont know if the newer ICS roms have fixed that issue.
It seems like all the ROMs have a few little glitches. Is there an ICS ROM that can record video at 1080p? Or connect to a 5GHz AP? Or has HDMI/MHL functionality?
I'm switching to the first one that does all 3. I'd be really excited if we can get NFC too.

This is what gets me excited. It's always great to hear that developers from the android community are working together to bring exciting features to our phones. Thanks for all of your hardwork. I wish I would have stayed a computer engineering in college so I could help out, but it you all need testers let me know.

Try lp3 stock from i9100 forum.. Flash with mobil odin but make sure in same flash you use entropy kernel and one of are modems. Then switch usr touchkey file.. Instructions in port section for file.

Yea I now see why the mods are so close-happy in this sub-forum. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to invoke a flood of ROM-reviews by starting this thread. All I had wanted was a general outlook of ROM-stability coming from official leaks and releases.

Looking to update ROM help?

Hi i currently have Cyanogenmod version: 9-20120725-NIGHTLY-galaxys2 which is Android Version 4.0.4.
i want to update to a Newer Cyanogenmod Version or a New ROM, any suggestions?
i just need it to take pictures use whatsapp, phonecalls and internet.
Thanks in advance.:laugh:
Well, there is a stable version of CM9, and a nightly after that stable version with a few more fixes I believe. Otherwise, try resurrection remix, slim ics, etc.

what about that CM10 u have is that very unstable? what about the other Roms are the better?

It's dressed up differently, but if you break it down, it's still basically asking this question.

I use CM10 as my daily driver. It's usable and better than CM9 in my opinion. BTW, I still don't get your problem. What feature are you exactly looking for?

All three are fine. CM10, being based on Jellybean is the newest, with really few bugs (which will hopefully get fixed once Samsung released Jellybean for the S2). Try CM10, otherwise go back to CM9. Make sure to do a nandroid backup of CM9 before moving on, so that if you feel CM9 is better, you don't have to go through setting it up all again.
This thread is becoming more of a "what's the best ROM?" type which is discouraged. You need to check these things yourself as preferences differ from user to user and handset to handset.

Custom rom??

Hey recently got my s3 international version rooted. Was wondering if I cud get a few suggestions for stable working roms. I am thinking bout putting 1on
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Best bet is too read through the roms in dev section. The ICS roms are all pretty stable now but the JB roms are pretty good too though they are still mostly beta tests... Lets put it this way, JB hasn't been released for the sgs3 yet, there's gonna be bugs. There are workarounds though to most things if you read.
I tend to be using Omega rom at present. Does everything I need and works well. I use RGUI on my 2nd sgs3, though I tend to also put others on there to test...
For future reference, best ROM/recommend a ROM threads are not allowed here.
Like the guy above said, read through ROM threads and see what you like.

[Q] S2 Freeze problem

Hi all, I'm not sure whether this is the right place to deliver my problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100.
My S2 is freezing frequently and I am having difficulty to trace down what is the actual cause.
My current running ROM is CM10 official nightlies.
I try to track down the obsessive running processes using WatchDog.
And, it turn out to be android.media.processing is running at high CPU (>50%) always.
So, I tried to disable the media scanner using Rescan Media. However, the freezing problem is still occured.
The freezing problem could be happened at any time(internet browse surfing, incoming call, sending a message, plugging charger into phone) and even during idling!
I am really out of idea, so I would like to seek any help from all of you. Thanks in advance.
Happened to me despite whatever kernel i tried on JB. Tried stock cm, stock aokp(the same aa stock cm), changmin's, dorimanx and siyah.
I didnt even undervolt plus i even tried to increase thw stock voltage values given in case JB requires more lower. But i cant get past 2days of usage without any freeze issues.
Im a heavy user of this phone and i charge more than 3x daily or just leave it charge or use while charge.
Will be testing leaked 4.1.2 today to see if it still persists. If it still does, im thinking of a worn out mobo or processor might be the case. If its fine, maybe those AOSP isnt much stable for some processors/mobos.
Was suprised btw seeing not many complaints over the issue across s2 section. Hardwarw issue or aosp stuffs?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Currently still trying to debug for the issue.
The phone works fine so far after I re-flash the CM10 without flashing the Gapps.
Now just trying to run the phone with some daily running apps like (Gmail, Facebook, Whatsapp, Line) to see if the freezing problem occured again.
I was worrying it could be due to faulty hardware since I accidentally drop it twice before.
I had lots of freezes, but on JellyBam it's working smooth...
My S2 freeze again while I am surfing the net. Anyone has any solution to this?

Im testing Leaked JB now. Survived yesterday without freezes. Imma report on today and tomorrow. If it continues to success full day withour freezes, im guess my phone cant handle aospJB stuffs

They run the same base which was CM10's main kernel n base stuffs. Tried all kernels and freezing happens on all of em (AOSP JB roms).

Absolutely no freezes after two days running Sammy JB Leak. Imma give it one more day till i go back to AOSPJB.
Notw that the uptime pic attached dosent show two days since i had to manually reboot the device after having some 'insufficient storage' errors n the reboot solved the issue. That is why it isnt showing an uptime of full two days

Well, I am now to change to AOKP, specifically RevoltJB.
However, I get stucked at the bootscreen.
I do exactly what had been told in the thread in order to flash the ROM, but still ended up in the boot loop.
I tried to flash with the recommended options but nothing change better.
Now I am trying to download another clean zip file to make sure the file is not void. :silly:

Try AoKP official or Rootbox Release /Nightlies. Plain good and reliable. Im avoiding those non-controlled environment, super experimental and not much tested commits done in those other ROMs. Not to say that they arent good, its just that the devs trackrecord and status is a bonus imho.

Try another rom
If you guys got stuck in either CM10 or AOKP (I'm also stuck), try another rom.
I'm currently using ParaniodAndroid 4.1.2 jelly bean, and flashed a Siyah v5.0.1 kernel, which are cool.
I never get freezing problems ever after.

Paranoid are based off CM10 while AOKP and RootBox aokpJB are using GalaxyS2 specific stuffs from CM10 too. Most of our AOSPJB stuffs are similar to one another since hacksung are the pioneer who ported and built the base and improved over time with devs submitting patches to em.
But an issue caused by specific apps or framework is a diff case since those arent drivers/modules related and those are rom specific. Its hard to determine the root of the cause anyway -_-

So after few days using the official Sammy JB version, my phone did not freeze at all
Just the stock ROM is still so laggy as always. :crying:
Definitely going to wait for the CM team to come out with a stable CM10 and flash again.

Stable CM10 prolly wont happen till he get the sammy JB sources as we r still using ICS blobs. Now 4.2 has changed a lot at the base including hwcomposer, its a long way to go
