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.
anyone here to rescue me from this problem ?????

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....

hello all
well iam posting this and i hope someone can help me out ....
2 days ago ive flashed my sgs 2 with the sensation rom 3.0 and well from the thread there i read that i have to flash the CF root kernel to the phone to get the rom working ... and thats what i did exactly , after flashing the rom worked and it was really pretty rom i liked it alot , however after flashing i noticed that its not easy to turn the phone screen on after locking it !!
i was busy that time and didnt do anything about it !
sadly after 15 to 20 min i wanted to make a call and at that moment the screen didnt want to fire at all !
i took the battery off and powered the phone again ... and i was shocked when i heared the notification of new email with nothing at all on my screen !
i thought it should be bad kernel for my model
so i downloaded the original firmware and odin was running again and all the that
but nothing !!! when the phone restarted after the flashing is done i heared the boot sound of it with still nothing on my screen !!!
send it today to samsung and after checking they told me your lcd is good .. the problem is the board ...................................!
can anyone suggest me anything ??
the phone is working i tried calling it and it rings , the buttons are working , the touch is working i can hear sound when touching the screen !
what can be the problem ?

Let me get this straight. You took it to Samsung who told you the answer. You posted the answer here, then asked XDA members to read it back to you?
The problem is the board.
thanx for replying
yes they told me the problem is the board , what iam asking here is if anyone in xda know what happen to the board that allow it perform all the os tasks except the screen ... is it the lcd filters ?? coz few minutes ago it came to my mind !
should i lose hope with this phone or try to fix it ?
thats the question
My XPS shutdowns randomly after flashing to ICS. I had also rooted my phone with Locked bootloader But due to the problem faced by me i re-flashed with the stock ICS firmware but my phone still shutdowns randomly....
While shutting down It displays Android System and a dialog box which says shutting down please help......
To be precise:
My phone vibrates and turns off. In this days i realized that before vibrates it shows "Android System" and "Shutting down" dialog . that is not cause of battery low. it happened with 70%, 100% battery as well.
that is a 'problem' i've had since i got my xperia arc 2, 3 or 4 times a month it crashes and reboots. i never found out what the problem is/was. i was always rooted.

Mine 4 to 5 times a day..... and is shuthowns.
Hi Rian18,
Kindly do a repair of the firmware u can get it in the pc companion when u connect ur phone to the pc u have an option for repairing.
Maybe this will help. Let us know
My GB firmware used to crash every 2 days or so, forcing a reboot as if battery was removed. It also existed on custom roms. Now after 1 month of ICS usage, I never ever crashed, never had a FC in any app except one time with Facebook app, which is crap
guys i tried repairing the firmware and after repairing 7 days later the problem has started once again ....
So i decided to flash back to GB but after flashing i noticed that even while charging the phone android battery status says Discharging.....
Please help ......

Hi..
I have a month old GS2 i9100 bought in india.. running stock ics 4.0.4 xwlpw....
I haven't rooted my phone yet..its as like as it was from the box...
But many times when i try to wake the device from the lock state to unlock..the screen doesn't show up..i hve even tried pressing volume rocker & home key but no use..
Few time i thought my battery went off. but when i turn on the device again its above 50%...
The next time it happened it was above 80%, so i think its a bug....i even tried to call my device when it was in that state, the call got connected and ring goes.but my phone behave like as if its been switched off....
And i hve enabled System Power saving in GS2 wen these things happen..& the battery back up is also good, i 1 1/2 day for hard use..and 2 days in standby.
Pls guys pls do provide me if there's any solution for this...
if its a software issues its ok.. but if its reg hardware issue or battery prob i will hurry for warranty....
So pls guys help me out ..
Thanks in advance.......

It's a software issue called as sleep of death, mostly the only way to get the phone normal again is removing the battery, but it's easy to recover from, you just need to change the rom, you will need to use Odin. Reflashing with the same stock firmware will also do it.
