I've recently upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S II to Android 4.0.3 (COA - Romania) using Samsung Kies.
I sometimes have an issue:
- when I click the WiFi icon on status bar to activate wireless connection it partially gets green and stays locked for about 1-2 minutes. This happens every 6 or 7 attempts to connect using wireless. What can I do? I've already made a "Factory reset".
Another issue is:
- when I start wireless connection or the data connection from my network operator the phone locks and shuts down.
I know spotted these two issues cumulate: when Wi-Fi gets unresponsive and my phone's screen goes off, I can't start my phone.
After I restart it my battery is 14 percents lower.
Is there any solution?
same issues
I have the same issuses as described above by pykko, and beside that i have to charge my battery once in every 10-12 hours because it gets empty real fast. I don't play or watch movies on it. And i don't keep the mobile data or wireless on, only when i use them.
I have to mention that i didn't experienced these issues before updating to 4.0.3 (COA-Romania).
Any help would be apreciated. Thanks.
Many people have this wifi toggle issue including me but I read many posts saying that DXLP9 has fixed this issue.
you probably should upgrade or find a custom rom with DXLP9 base or u might wanna try VK's rom its XWLP9 but according to the posts they say its fixed .

Thats when ur phone sleeps and never wakes up, I also experinced this problem its refered to as SoD(Sleep of Death), it has been more common in XWLP9(kernel to sepcific)
My recommedation is for you to upgrade to a new rom DWLP9 or the other new ones which came after XWLP9
OR
or you can try a custom rom, I found VK's rom( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559009 ) its based on XWLP9 but not the kernel and its the same as the stock but themed to ICS, so I find it nice athough I didnt try it yet .

One Factory reset

Three return to service centre mentioning that you have read a lot about these issues you have .

Make sure your WiFi is not using any channels above 11. If so, the stock firmware is able to briefly scan and find the wireless but not connect.
I had/have the same issue and the only way to fix was to change my wireless to use a lower channel and not auto switch channels.
Turns out this was (I believe) a limit in 2.3.3. Though I've tested on 2.3.4 (Nexus S) and this has the same issue.
I posted a similar problem else where and one person responded saying that (the leaked ) stock 2.3.4 firmware in wireless -> advanced settings has an option to set Regulatory <something> that allows all channels to be used.
Hope this helps,
I got a same issue. And, I had changed a lot of ROMs but still in this condition. Did you found the solution? Thank you very much
I get the same issue...
When i go to wifi settings and turn it on, it starts scanning and seconds later it turns off. Sometimes it won't even turn on and i have to make a hard reset.
Tried different ROMs and android versions but that was to no avail...
Any ideas?
my s2 also have problem on wifi and hotspot.. when i try to switch on the hotspot.. there is an error underneath.
can somebody help?
i oso flashed 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 firmware but jus no help..

Hello xda-developers.
So I have some bug or something on my Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830), it's called the sleep of death if I'm correct. Well I had a stock from (2.2.1 floyo) preloaded on my device and i heard that (2.3.3) should work better on my device so i upgraded it and noticed the screen of death and it kinda worries me what to do about it. I've tried also custom roms and they were pritty buggy so i installed some stocked floyo back on and upgraded via Kies to 2.3.3 but it seems the bug is back :S. It happend like 4-5x times today so I was woundering if any one had any fixes or and thing that might help?
Thanks for the replay.
Sorry for bad english and my first post btw .
Sleep off death (SOD) is rare on a stock firmware
Tried to do a wipe data/factory reset?

I tried it on that first os when i got SOD but when the os is clean like installed it works great didn't get any problems... but when i install some programs when i turn the screen of it goes to a sleep and can't do any thing ... it's like its off but it rings if any one calls me, but it doesn't show when I turn it on that any one called me.
It's kinda annyoing when you try to do something on your phone (try calling some one) and the screen doesn't come on again...
I has woundering if there is any solution or any thing.
Sorry for bad english.
Hey!
just read THIS.
CHEERS!
thx casiocas ... so i see that i'm not just one of the "unlocky" i guess ther's a problem in the software
Anyone who's SoD just started recently, did you enable overscroll glow?
Because my SoD started right after enabling it.
When going back they are gone.
Tap-a-talked from my Galaxy Ace
No not since i enabled overscroll, but when i flashed cf-root it started. Back on stock again there gone now 4 two weeks.

Solution for SOD caused by WiFi
I always had SODs with every ROM i tried (stock / updated stock / VillianROM / FirstUA)...
The solution for me was to install 'Advanced Wifi Lock'! I'm now using it with FirstUA 1.2 ROM for almost 2 weeks now without any SOD!
Search for it in the Market and see if it works for you!
@Hatshipuh : Then try this solution! I had the same problems!
The problem for me is just the occurence of SoD when I have Wifi on and connected, and then e.g. walk out of range, so Wifi still on but not connected. Then it shuts off within 30min. I just have to not forget to turn Wifi off when I don't use it or no signal.
Still never had SoD while Wifi is connected though, no matter the display is turned on or not, so no need for Wifi Lock.
But that's only after enabling overscroll glow.
i have been sod free since i flashed to stock 2.3.3 kpn. its been 2 weeks

I think it's interesting to let wifi turned on.
If there's an available network, the phone syncs and stuff. If there isn't, then it does nothing.
What does this Advanced Wifi Lock do?
I've noticed my phone just have the SoD when it lost the Wifi connection. It was happening with stock Rom as well. Now I'm using Glsmt.
first ua
I had SOD like a 8 times for a week but i have not it anymore because i have flashed First UA Rom last week.Seems to be very very stable rom. Try it guys very smooth and stable and also the speed is just amazing.
my better battery app shows wifi running all the time. My battery is getting nuked. When I look at the android menu it says it is the screen sucking up the battery, even though the screen was only on for a short time. Anyone else having issues?
I wasn't having any issues with the 2.3.6 until right there at the end and then it started having the wifi draining issues. I was hoping the wifi issue would have been fixed in the ICS release. I tried doing a factory reset, which didn't help. I uninstalled the att hot spot finder app, didn't help. Is there a way to clear the wifi configs or reset the wifi?
I also notice it will disconnect from the wifi and can't see wifi networks even when hitting the scan button. I have to turn the wifi off and back on to get it to work.
Seems like the same issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24189461&highlight=wifi#post24189461
I guess there isn't a fix yet. That sucks.
Have that too. Temporary workaround: Settings -> Wifi -> Menu button -> Advanced -> Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep -> Never.
With that I have great battery life (got 28 hours once).
EDIT: My post is related to ported I9100 ROMs, never used i777 leak.
There is no official ICS - just a leak.

what he said ^^^
Pretty sure this is the same way it's always been that I remember, unless you goto advanced settings it will stay on with the screen off, it shouldn't really kill your battery though. I see minimal impact with my wifi on, I've even read it's better on battery due to less awake time on data polls. The exception to this is if you have an app that goes data crazy when it's on wifi, and keeps the phone awake. Then there was also the issue with the uckk6 firmware, but I don't think that issue is still going on with the ICS ROMs I've tried.
Edit: Was just reading and I guess ATT leak might still suffer from the goofy KK6 bug.
Will the UCPLC5 modem fix it? How do I install the newer modem leak with out making the counter go up?
Also, changing basebands will do NOTHING for wifi-related drain.
Baseband is for voice and cell data - it does NOTHING wifi-related whatsoever.

Hello,
I became a proud owner of S3. As it usually happens to me there is the problem. Namely, from time to time problem happens to me when I'm using any web browser or anything that requires an Internet connection. Say for example Opera. I'm browsing pages and suddenly ... BOOM ... 3-5 second pause in the connection over WiFi (energy saving is off and in WiFi settings - I did it via code, in the service menu). Sometimes Internet connection breaks when I'm browsing menu or writing an SMS. For example: I browse the menu and suddenly I see - WiFi stamp disappears and after a while there is info about that phone is connected again. This is the first problem.
The phone is lying, WiFi operates in the background. When I Pick up the phone and when I'm clicking home (or power) button I get the lock screen and. .. freeze. Phone is disconnected from WiFi and only time the phone reconnects to WiFi I can unlock the screen.
On what ROM were the problems? On the Stock LF2, ROOTed LF2, Omega 7.1 - 9.0 and AOKP Milestone6.
And also it does not work automatic refresh of weather (at 1 h interval) on stock widget (the Samsung weather widget).
Sorry for my bad English.
Why couldn't you have just set your wifi to never turn off in settings, wifi, advanced.....it's practically the same thing....I wouldn't be messing around with the service menu. I would wipe data/factory reset and start again bud but this time, stay away from the service menu as it's for technicians and phone repairs etc I've not once touched the service menu....

I found the same problem ever since I upgraded to LH3 (the latest official release at this moment). The lock screen is frozen if: I had the WiFi Switched On, screen off either manually or timeout, then disconnected (say if I walk away from the wifi service area). When I press Power or Home button to wake the device, the lock screen is frozen.
Seems no freeze if wifi remains connected. Seems no freeze if wifi power saving mode is off (disabled via *#0011# (but setting won't stay if unit is power off).
Did both Cache wipe (didn't do factory reset) but makes no difference. Tried "never turn off" also makes no difference (probably because it will turn off anyway when connection is dropped)
The upgrade seems worser than before...
Any hints please...
This seems to be common but not always the same fix, my wifi constantly drops out and reconnects immediately (ruining any downloads/streaming) , i have tried the service mode, factory reset, different kernels, sleep time, static IP's, JB vs ICS Roms / Stock roms, you name it i have tried it and it STILL is doing it. Weird thing is..dont think it dropped out and reconnected when i was stock and unrooted, but as i said, tried stock rom and to no avail
Any ideas?
Bump

Hi, I am having the same problem again after not having this problem for a month or 6.

I have this issue on my galaxy note N7000, and only recently for like a month now and on various different ROMs all JB. Any updates on what the cause could be?
Go full unrooted stock and send the phone in for warranty repair. It's the smartest thing to do if a problem persists after lots of ROM switching and factory resetting.

That's would be the smartest thing to do, indeed. But... Warranty expired centuries ago.
Any clue what is causing this not uncommon problem?

Try visiting a(not crowded) place with public Wi-Fi, and see if the issue persists.
If it starts to work fine, get a new router, preferably with 802.11n support. If you buy a N compatible router, check all of your Wi-Fi capable devices for N support, and if one of them doesn't, make them N compatible(if it's a computer, get a new N compatible Wi-Fi card or USB reciever, if it's something else, well, you can't do anything else other than buying a newer version of it with N support, or not using that device's Wi-Fi feature at all) because your router will operate at an older mode even if one of your devices doesn't support N.
I use a lot of internet sharing (wireless). I noticed that when I start charging battery my phone is dropping signal network after a while. When I switch the screen back on, signal comes back. it's very annoying and it doesn't happen when phone is not charging. At first I thought its rom/kernel/modem related but problem remains with different combinationsb of above.
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
Do your RIL and Baseband match?

I guess so. Usually I use modem provided with rom. It looks like phone was going to deep deep sleep that it even loses network service and it wakes up when screen turns on. But as I said it happenes only when charging and, I think, only when I use internet sharing.
edit:
just checked with getril app and it says unknown ril so cant really tell if they match. I've put a NEAT rom 3.5 just today and didn't have chance to check wheather it still there or not but i guess it will still be there.
Your RIL and modem can change. The modem is up to the rom maker, they decide which one to use wheras your RIL stays the same from what you had on stock rom, unless you changed it of course

First of all, sorry for asking the same question twice (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489237), but this thread seems to describe my problem even better.
I am using the latest Cyanogenmod 10 nightly on my Galaxy i9100, and it appears as if I have a similar problem. When I start charging my battery, the signal usually drops after a while. This is quite annoying, because I use my phone as WLAN hotspot. Rebooting the phone (charger connected) does not solve the problem. Instead, I usually have to unplug the cable and after that the phone quickly picks up a signal again.. I also tried to switch the airplane mode on/off. But then I cannot switch the airplane mode off again, so something really seems to be hanging. In these situations, the baseband version shows 'unknown'.
I have just used the app GetRil to confirm that the Ril and baseband version are matching.
Has anybody solved this problem? Is this a hardware or software issue? Are there any things I could test or should I provide more information?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Guys' though I've never experienced this issue with wi-fi hotspot, I do know why the wifi turns off when your phone is charging.
So to settings > wifi> press menu button> choose advanced
you'll see an option what says "keep wifi on during sleep" or something of sorts. The default is set to "never". You guys need to change it to "always".
Cheers

Sorry for the confusion, but I think you got me wrong. It is not the WLAN connection that drops. It is the mobile network connection that drops, so I cannot make/receive calls or use the 3G connection anymore.
Update:
Didn't find solution, flashed back sammy stock rom with custom kernel and all problems vanished. Using stock rom since than and never had this problem again.

Just for the records: I could also solve this issue by flashing a stock rom again. This must be a problem of Cyanogenmod.

I had this problem too and all I had to do was turn off fast charging in the settings
I think it turns off or lowers the strength of the network so it could charge faster and that's why it does this
I don't know much about tech so it might only help with my phone ( which is the Samsung a12 ) but I also hope it helps you too
Good luck
