Look through alot of threads on xda. There are alot of good suggestions on here. Some help some people and some help others. I myself have had this issue also. I've swapoed kernels, flashed back to stock, etc.etc. Right now i'm trying a free market app called fixr wifi fix and it seems to be working but only time will tell. If you try it and it helps just hit the thanks button.:thumbup:

Official 4.0.3 Wifi problem

Hey all.
I just got my sgs2 back from samsung because the mainboard was screwed.
I got it back for a week now, and the problem is. Sometimes when I turn on my wifi. The wifi wont turn on. But the button says its turning on. I cant turn it off than. After a while my phone just reboots.
Is this a known bug in 4.0.3?
Its very annoying. Can someone help me?
Kind regards

same problem here,,,does anybody have a solution for this??
Take a look in my thread, we might be having the same problem, read all the posts and try the different fixes and maybe one of them will work for you.

I havn't fixed it yet. I'm still trying some stuff but If I get a fix for it I'll update the thread with the fix. If you're not having the same problem just ignore, but you can try the fixes though.
Isn't related to my problem. Mine still works. But it 'crashes' sometimes

What rom are you using, mate? I'm sure stock rom LED works, and almost non-stock ROMs i've tried have LED working.
Just the stock rom mate. Seems to be a bit of a rarity for it not to work as not came across anyone else with same issue. Lucky white heather eh...
Not a deal breaker I can live without it, but if they was a solution I happily implement it.

Ics 4.0.4 problem!!

Hey, So I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 to ICS 4.0.4 before 1-2 months. The new graphics and extra features looked really great at first, but 2 hours after using it on normal applications (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter.) It froze and did nothing, like literally just freezes at the screen it lagged on. This has been happening continuously for the past 2 months and I'm really sick of it, I upgraded my phone and my dad's one (both SGS2I9100) using Samsung Kies, ever since that, it just keeps freezing like 4 times a day and I have to take off my battery and re-put it so it can reset since nothing will do this.. The old the firmware I had was the really amazingly going well and never lagged even once (I can't remember which firmware though). I'm a total noob, I didn't and don't have my phone rooted or some stuff like that, expect downloading APKs off the internet lol.
I really want someone to help me in this, I know there must be a solution since I don't think I'm the only one who has been annoyed by this, specially when it happens on a daily routine. I searched over the forums and found nothing.
I know there must be something talking about the issue but I'm too nooby to understand the article titles which might be a solution of my problem. Please help me in my problem it really bothers me and xda is my last hope...
Thank you all.
Note: please use simple terms because I really won't understand, and if you do, please teach me them lol.

Why?!
Please create only one thread... and even then, if the problem has been address elsewhere, you should be posting in that thread.

[Q] GPS not locking satellite

Hi,
I have a Samsung s3 int I9300 and it can see a satellite but will not lock onto them and thus will not work with driving directions on google maps.
I have tested it side by side with an s2 and the s2 pics up a satellite quickly wile the s3 struggles to lock onto one.
My phone has been rooted and had Omega running on it but I have tried many different versions of firmware and also have done a full restore via odin and the 3 files.
It is connected to T-Mobile (EE) Uk and he internet is working perfectly.
Please can someone help me find out if it is a software of hardware error.
If you need any more info please ask and I will prove it straight away.
Thank you all :good:

try a different rom and/or kernel
HI,
I have just done a complete unroot and install using Odin. I am currently running a fresh I9300XXEMC2_I9300OXAEMC2_BTU but still no gps!
I am running a stock kernel and Rom so am I right in thinking it is not a software issue?
I do not have insurance but as it is a hardware issue could I get Samsung to repair it for free?
Is there anything else I could try?

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201668
Supposedly worked for a lot of people.
I have just tried this, I went as tight as I could but unfortunately still no luck. I left it by my Windows for an hour and no fixes.
My mates nexus fixed onto multiple satellites in seconds at the same spot.
