Keep getting this notification every few mins at the bottom of my screen. It's like the wifi is constantly connecting/reconnecting to the network or something.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal or what? Never happened on the S2.
That looks like the wifi power saving mode.
Try turning it off. *#0011# in dialer.

No it's not normal. Unless your in bad spot and it keeps loosing connection I stay connected at my house and all around my yard and never see the connection noti unless I leave and come back.
I would suggest forgetting the wireless network and re-connecting. You can also try clearing your wifi data maybe ??

This worked perfectly! But I notice that it turns itself back "on" when I disconnect or turn off wifi. Anyway to keep it permanently set to "off" power save mode??

It will (or should) only reset after a reboot. At least that's my experience.
I know its annoying, but its the only thing I find works. Changing frequencies, channels and security settings always ends up with disconnects.
I don't know if it can be permanently set.

Correct! I rebooted and it reset. That's perfectly fine by me. It's worth it anyways! Maybe fix down the line might come out.
Thanks mate.

This is my first Android tablet and i noticed that everytime that i turn it on the date and time is restored to the fabric value (year 1999) until i connect it to a wifi. I think that it should have an internal battery to keep this value just like motherboards but im not sure. Is that normal?

it does have an internal battery. How else would it work without being plugged in?

Go to your settings for date/time and set the time manually. Automatic setting uses network provided time

Ok i didn't explain myself correctly, some devices like netbooks has an small battery like the ones used in wrist watches, this is an independent battery to the main one and it is used to keep the system time in the BIOS even when there is no energy in the main battery. So the prime does not have something like this? Is it normal that is not saving datetime when turning off?

Thanks I already did that but its still not saving the time, could this be a hardware issue?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
You need to go to the time settings and then make sure you select your time zone. After you select the correct time zone then turn on automatic date and time. Mine was doing the same thing and that's what I did.

I must've had 5 reboots in the past hour on my note running ICS. The phone was just sitting there and i noticed in the corner of my eye that it kept rebooting randomly. Is anyone else noticing that as well? Does the phone keep any logs anywhere i can look into?

My phone isn't doing any of that. In fact I'm not experiencing most of the bugs I read about with regard to ICS. A few reboots and everything worked like it was supposed to. Even mms. I imagine that if you have a file browser you should be able to look around and find crash reports.

Did you just get ics or did you have a for a while and its starting to do random reboots? If you just got it and it did random reboots, try doing a backup then re do the steps from odin to obtain ics. If not, try clearing caches first.

I had it since the day it came out. I just noticed reboots right now during a meeting at work when my phone was on the table. Ill clear caches next...

is wifi on, even though you are not connected?
both wifi and bluetooth on without a connection caused this on mine

it's not doing it anymore after I cleared /cache, dalvik-cache, and turned wifi off. I did have wifi enabled but not connected so that very well may have been the culprit.
Glad the clearing caches worked.

Wifi is definitely the culprit. Phone was rebooting again yesterday and wifi was turned on but not connected. Turning wifi off made it stop.

I also had a couple random reboots today out the blue I was like wtf cleared the cache now so far so good

It actually happend to me today. My wifi was on but not connected. So yes, its the wifi thats turned on but not connected to a wifi connection thats causing random reboots. Clearing cache helps but will eventually happen again. I hope they fix this on the official ICS update.

I have had my Galaxy S II for a while and have been absolutely loving it after upgrading from my Captivate, and haven't found the need to root it and load it up with custom roms JUST yet, but one thing that's been annoying lately is that when it is just sitting here not doing anything, the screen will randomly turn on for no reason, no notifications or anything and then turn off after a couple seconds. happens every couple of minutes generally but occasionally it will do it several times within a short amount of time. I was thinking one of my apps or something is responsible but I am unsure of how to isolate which is doing it and why. Hoping someone has had a similar problem and has gotten to the bottom of it, cause id like the screen to stay off when im not using it lol.
Probably wifi. Maybe one of your neighbors has a wifi signal that drops in and out and your phone keeps picking it up

just checked, wifi has been off all evening.
Maybe look for an app that will log what apps or processes are running and how long? Might help you to see what is causing your issue.
Other than that, im if no help. Hopefully we can get you done resolution soon bud.

Aside from this, sometimes I also see advertisement notifications which get really annoying too and I just don't know what app they are coming from. so I just went ahead and installed watchdog and maybe it shall help figure this out, thanks guys.
This only happens at home with my DPC 3825 router. Reconnecting works. Changed channels, nothing helped.

I had this issue with my d-link router... I changed the plug point of the adapter and now it has stopped... maybe that might help you. I think my problem is due to faulty earthing at my home

Hi
Have you got connection lease time settings on your router (renew adapters or something) this may be auto kicking you and reconnecting you.
Is there a same time that you are on and kicked off delay or is it random. Other than that my knowledge is limited but hoped I helped you

I fixed my broken screen myself but however I toasted the digitizer and probably some other sensor towards the top. Now when I am in the middle of a phone call, if I have to turn on the screen to get it off speaker phone or navigate to take notes or whatever, the screen will not turn on until the person hangs up the phone or until I power cycle it with the battery.
Is there some kind of option I can turn off to stop this sort of action? Thanks.
Have you tried to clean out the sensor right above the Samsung logo? A blast of compressed air will do the trick. I had a similar problem with the screen not coming on while on a call after removing the phone from my ear and this fixed my problem.

I'll give that a try. Knowing my luck I got the adhesive on it. :/. Is there any way to disable it?

Nice! For future reference there is a way to turn it off on TW. It's under call settings > Turn off screen during calls.
