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.

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!

GUys, i'm having the same problem on my SGS2 as well, check my thread for details, i've attached the logcat in it

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....

Hey bro's just today I got my new HTC one x+ and I had ordered it online so it's an international unlocked phone. The phone is on android 4.1 and sense 4+ (stock and not rooted) so I checked for software updates but it said the phone is already up to date and no updates are available , though I guess HTC has rolled out 4.2.2 sense 5 for one x+ (right ?) . Also, I've noticed the phone stays connected to WiFi and yet the pages won't load, sometime WiFi just disconnects, though the internet is working just fine on my other phone . Further the apps from play store too take a butt load of time to start downloading and often get stuck midway while downloading. So guys would u suggest to get the phone checked up at HTC for manufacturing defects Or have some of you faced similar problems but have rooted and used custom Roms (if so which ?) to solve it. My phone isn't in for hardware warranty and I'm sorta noob at this stuff so please take this into consideration too. I'll be really grateful for your help
My advice will be basic but may be efficient:
Have you tried to factory reset your phone? If you bought a used or refurbished device, this may help.
I'm from Europe and have an unlocked version and can confirm that the update finished rolling out early September + I never experienced any of your problems.
You would also check if you have those download problems on both Wi-Fi and 3g. If so, this may be a hint of some sort.

Hi,
This is Sreehari. I asked this question in the "XDA Assist" forum, but since there is no forum for my device I was suggested to post it here.
the following is what my issue is:
I have been sing Gionee Elife E3 from October last year. First 3-4 months it worked without any problem.. But after that, it started to have frequently signal strength problems..
Frequently the signal bars goes from full to cross very fast. I cannot make a call at that time, but if I put the same SIM in another phone there is no problem. Even rebooting the phone doesn't solve the issue. many of my friends started to say that it is impoosible to get me on the phone most of the time..
Then I gave it to the service center and they flashed it.. It worked well from that point for around 2 weeks, then the problems started again.. after that I started flashing it on my own.. I installed the Chinese firmware to install custom ROMs (for Indian firmware custom ROMs were not available till recently) to see how it goes.. I tried the ColorOS over the Chinese firmware and things felt alright for around 2 weeks again.. now the problems started again and more severe than ever.. the phone is practically useless now that it cannot be relied at all..
I completely annoyed and puzzled by these.. if it is a firmware problem how does it go away after flashing and return after sometime? Could it be a problem with the radio/modem software?
I love this phone, it is awesome model and I don't want to leave it.. can anyone help me? I am not an Android developer but I do have some knowledge on flashing, recovery, backups etc. I can post any screenshot or logs as needed.
PS: I have a doubt on its wi-fi range as well since that also seems to drop very fast, not completely sure though..

can anyone help??
Hi, I have an S3 (i9300) with CM11 always in his last nightly. I have a problem because the mobile download quickly and loading slowly. The Phone I've switched to other ROMs, kernel, I changed the charger, battery, so I formatted, even with few apps I still have the same problem.
Since 5 months ago I have this problem, turn off the mobile live it on "Airplane mode" and then leave even more than 6 hours to fully charge it.
I'm a user "heavy" since I am constantly using it in Whatsapp, mail, other social networks, etc ... But it does come five months presenting this issue and I want my phone before.
I've noticed that sometimes in certain-outlets (do not know how they call it in Spain but just Google it appears) sometimes faster loading than others but in other circumstances load equal than others, perhaps because it is a little paranoid but already has me tired this problem.
Maybe everyone say you buy a new phone but not if they have fixed the problems that exist in Venezuela and buy a new one is almost impossible.
I hope some help from you. Thanks in advance.
Last month I replaced the Battery for my moto z and after that the phone was working fine, suddenly my wifi and bluetooth had stopped working.
The wifi mac address show: 02:00:00:00:00:00
I have flashed custom rom as well as the stock roms on my device but had no luck.
So far I have Flashed
- Android P Developer Preview
- Resurrection Remix 6.1.0
- Lineage OS 15.x
- Moto Z 8.0 Full firmware [stock][oreo][griffin]
- XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_RETASIA_MPL24.246-45.2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT1650-03_CFC.xml_V2
Rest every thing is working well but wifi and bluetooth is not working at all.. Any genuine suggestions for me ?
Also I have hurd that its a software issue and it can be resolved if i Downgrade my android version ... but i also hurd that its very risky since i need to flash bootloader also for that...

This happenned to me as well.
I had replaced my battery in March and the phone was working fine till one day when I came back from college.
The phone worked fine and I drained the battery to 0 just when I arrived home. I let the phone charge to 100% and when it booted, wifi and bt were dead.
And then I tried flashing the Oreo modem and wiping modemst1 which broke my SIM functions as well, so don't do this. xD
Several people suddenly started having this kind of brick, this isn't a fluke.

yes i already read your other articles before. From last 3 days i m also putting my efforts to find a solution. the reason i dont wanna take my phone to Moto service center since in india they dont care about your hard earn money, they dont care about your device, they are always in hurry, they broke your devices & for there fault they blame you and ask u for more money. last month i had taken my phone for the battery replacement and while repairing it they broke my touch ID and they blamed me for that.. but since i already had a job sheet with me i told them I already have a job sheet and at the time of taking the phone u check the phone yourself .... & after a huge fight they changed extra 500Rs from me...
now coming to the Topic... even if it a hardware issue... i wanted to know first weather some chip need to changed or i need to go for the new motherboard only.... which i very expensive.

Yeah, it 's pretty much the same thing in Croatia. They're too lazy to try fixing a specific part so they will probably replace the whole mobo and make you pay for it. And if they break something, they will either try to blame you or just avoid replacing the part they broke.
Anyhow,I can eventually try relocking the bootloader and pray to god that the repair shop doesn't keep track of the unlocked bl IMEI list from Motorola.
Hi All,
Just wanted to let u know that i have exchange my device for the new one. I hope this information might help you. I had given my phone to the local service center 3 days back and they informed me that its a network IC issue (not a software issue which i already knew it) and it will cost me 4500Rs in india (three month warranty on IC plus 10% changes of damaging the motherboard while repair).
Options that i had -
1 - replace the IC and sell the phone immediately. since even after the battery replacement the phone battery backup was not at all good. Max 5 hours battery backup i was getting on the full battery charge. (I had invested 2200Rs on the battery replacement and not two months had completed and this issue had occurred so i was not in the mood to invent any more money on this crap moto phone.
2 - exchange the phone with the new one. (reliance digital offer me 7k for the exchange which i accepted it)
3 - buy any display broken Device.
how did this happen ?
I was continuously talking on the phone for 4 to 5 hours which made this happened. so I think this happened because of the heating of the phone.
