Hi all,
I have been having problem since I updated my Galaxy S2 Gt-i9100 (India) to official ICS. Wifi is not working anymore and whenever i try to switch ON Wifi from notification bar the toggle button freezes (something like pale annoying green) and Wifi never gets switched ON. Then i thought moving to Custom ROM will help but again with CM9 Wifi is not getting ON at all.
Please guys help me, I know you are the best one out there. What can be the problem? Any possible solution? I heard it was solved in Siyah Kernel?

It sounds like a hardware problem as CM9 is a good rom with hardly any problems! I suggest trying a few other roms and also, try changing the kernel. I used to have that problem but after flashing siyah, problem=solved!

I wiped the Data using Download Mode and then installed from a ZIP in internal SD card (The standard process that I came across Google).

So ive flashed ics on my friends SII but from the beginning it had touch problems, for example in the app drawer i have to tap setting 3 times before it registers the touch. For eveything else it works just fine so im sure its not HW related.
Switching kernel improved it (also improved scrolling lag).
Is this a known existing problem with the current kernels? I dont own a galaxy sII so i dont know the issues that are playing atm.
Thanks in advance!

no problem might be bad flash or early beta release that you flashed by mistake
Nah, i thought the same but after flashing again the problem still was there.
Gonna try returning to stock and start again with CM9 Resurrection Edition with Odin. If it still persists i gues the problem is hardware related.
and suddenly everything changes.........!
weren't you on stock ICS before? please use stock with full wipe to test such things.

Please check my threads, i know how to test roms but thanks for your reply.
Yes i didnt get it,
Thsts why i said go back to stock using odin after full wipe.
If you already did it, cant help uou anymore.
I have problem with touch screen, when it is in direct sunlight or any strong light, it becomes unresponsive for 1or 2 minutes. This happens when I lock, so it means in lock screen I can not touch anything its not responding for few minutes. And what is most important, this problem is since I updated to ICS,in 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 also. But if I flash back to GB 2.3.6 I dont have this problem and it works perfect. And I heard a lot people having this problem, did some one found solution, as it is working in GB so it is not hardware problem.
I am really thankfully if anyone can help me.

let me know how you flashed those ROMs, list the steps you follow, you might have missed something because so far it's working in GB then it's not a hardware issue.

Well first I tried in stock rom 4.0.3 and now also 4.0.4, and for this custom ROMs like cm9 cm10, I did as per instructions wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, than flash, after that again wipe data/cache.
Have you tried to flash other kernel?

since you are using i9100g, I might not be able to recommend you a custom kernel. This kind off touch screen issues has been fixed in our own kernels.
Try this:
- boot to CWM recovery
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- flash your kernel of choice again
- fix permissions
- reboot phone

i experienced this before on my old Galaxy S, try going on for other CustomROMS and kernels..
But really I don't understand, my brother has also i9100g but he don't have this problem, I tested his phone in stock and in custom roms, I let it in sunlight for 10-15 minutes. But mine for 1-2 minutes immediately becomes unresponsive. I have tested all roms and kernels for i9100g and always I did wipe data, cache, dalvik cache but the problem is still present. Sometimes I say its hardware problem, but if I flash gb stock or any custom rom in gb, I can let phone in sunlight for 10-20 minutes without problem. Really its confusing me. If you guys will help me fix this problem I would be really really thankful as I am tired of this

then go for gingerbread if you don't mind.. if your phone is still on warranty, then you can send it back to the service center ASAP if not, you can also spend some money to get it fixed (it won't be cheap, trust me).. but if you wanna save some cash on it, you can stick to GB if that's what's doing you good on your problem..
hope you get it all sorted out
That's the problem that I don't have warranty. But really in GB you don't have nothing ICS is much better also so many custom roms and kernels for ICS. The fact that is working fine in gb and its not hardware problem is killing me. It must be a way to fix

Try a full wipe again and see if it helps. I am on DLIB and have no wifi issues. If after two wipes it is the same I would think it is going to be hardware. You could also go back to ICS to double check but clear everything each time.

first of all. THANK YOU!!! thank you thank you...
but...
ive tried everything. wipeSSSS (notice the s) and tried every ROM and modem. did alot of superwipes in succession and everything.
the only catch is, this problem is not in cm9 and cm10. i cant use cm10 because of the camera issues (i use camera alot so itsa no-go, despite the awesome speed). and it hurts me to be on cm9 while the official jb is out there. hppe you understand the software craze
Wifi connection is not related to modem.. so i suggest u flash another kernel.
I hope this helps! cheers!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Ok, so ive had a couple of problems with my recently bought Sgs2, ive got all the other problems fixed except this one: when i turn on the camera app, the flash goes on and off once, the same happens when i turn off the camera. Its a very fast flash that occurs.. it doesnt matter what camera app i use, it does it everytime.. the flash does work properly during camera use if needed, and works normally as a torch.
It doesnt bother me much, but would be nice to get fixed..
Any ideas?
If your using a custom jb rom then it's normal. It's a known bug.

Looks like he said: if its a custom JB rom, the bug occurs. Im using ICS and the same thing happened before i even flashed a custom rom. The phone was running a stock Samsung GB rom then..

I have the same problem, that the flash will light up shortly when the camera app closed, and when I read the last comments it seems that this is a known issue for quite a while.
How does it come that this is not fixed yet. I'm using custom roms now for a few month now and from the beginning I was wondering about the strange flash behaviour compared to the stock rom.
Is it because there is still no official release from Samsung for JB or why is it so difficult to fix? Are the camera drivers closed source?

have u tried flashing a Stock ICS rom (v4.0.3) and seen for the issue
if not give it a try and see, just to confirm whether its really a hardware issue or a software one
nothing to loose though, if the problem gets resolved for u it would be fine right
do a clean wipe before installing.

I used to get that on my x10i with certain roms.Definitely a software problem.
Same issue here, came about randomly day before yesterday. LED flashes once, quickly, whenever something tries to activate it.
Only ever used stock soft/firmware, and Chainfire's kernel. Cleared all caches, tried factory reset, problem persisted.
Flashed to whatever the latest ICS is for H3G today, problem still persists, I shall try official kernel tomorrow, see if that fixes it -- I don't hold much hope.

I'm using hellybean 4.2.1 and I don't have this bug!!
Hello!
I'm sorry if this is a repeated thread.
I'm on Jelly Bean stock firmware I9100XWLSK (4.1.2) (Indian version) rooted. Everything is fine except that I am not able to turn on wifi since last week (Its becomes dull green and then gets grey; Refer Screenshot).
There was a similar problem when I was on ICS (when wifi toggle switch used to hang), but it was solved by one of the several tweaks suggested for the problem..e.g. delete connection and put the phone in airplane mode etc. etc.
But this time none of these worked. The wifi would just won't turn on. S2 without wifi is of no use to me.
I've tried every thing; Flashed stock GB 2.3.6 & JB 4.1.2 I9100XWLST, Did factory reset, wiped cache data, etc etc.
I'm tired now, this problem is being faced by many others so I request you all masters of andriod to take the matter seriously and come out with a solution please.
Further more when i use USSD codes such as *#*#526#*#* or *232339# WLAN Test code, nothing happens, these codes do not work on my 4.1.2 S2.
Many Thanx & Regards.
PS: Find the attached screenshots.
Try a custom kernel (pick any one you want). WiFi drivers are in the kernel, so therein probably lies your problem.

4) have u tried a Diff Kernel like PHILZ/DORIMANX/SIYAH to see if the wifi issue resolved

3) I can only wish its not a hardware, when this problem occurred in ICS many people told its an hardware issue but it wasn't. After JB update it went on a working state and now after a long time I'm facing this issue.
4) No, please suggest.

Please advise.
I have the same problem as khani245 only I had originally NeatRom XWLSS on my phone and worked well no problems until I went o/s for a couple of weeks and I changed sims and I couldn't get wifi so I had a Samsung guy look at it and to fix he put GB 2.36 and it worked sort of but when I got home and changed back to my recent NeatRom I couldn't even get the green ticks in the wifi settings. I have gon back to GB2.3.4 cleared everything installed stock rom and now get the green wifi ticks but wifi is continually searching for any connection but can't even find my modem/router 4` away. There is a problem and it seems to be a software problem.
