Been having this problem for a few weeks now on both SlimROM 4.2.2 and 4.3 as well as stock CM 10.1.3 and 10.2 nightlies.
Randomly, my phone app freezes and I cannot make calls. I try to make a call and nothing happens and when I try to hang up it won't let me. I cannot force close the phone app either. If i restart the phone I get the same problem.
The only way to solve it is to dirty flash the rom again. This will keep it good for a day or two and then the issue comes back.
I've tried several different modem/Ril combinations to no effect.
Has anyone got a solution or at least an idea as to how to troubleshoot?
Cheers!

As far as im aware you should not flash modem ril on any rom other than on sammy based only flash the moden on other roms. This might be the cause?
Try flashing stock and see if you face the same problems.
I'm not sure what you mean sorry. Try flashing a stock rom or stock baseband? I'm using official modem Ril from an Australian telco xxlp9 at the moment with CM 10.2.

What he means is non-TW roms & RIL's = tends to lead to busted connectivity. You only flash RIL's with Samsung-based roms -they don't play nice with AOSP-based roms, so that's quite likely the cause of your problems.
The suggestion to do a clean install of stock, preferably a stock rom released by your carrier (as this will have a modem that should give you good connectivity), is sound. If that solves the problem, then you can re-root your phone/re-flash CM or whatever you want to use, but don't flash RIL's again. If you're not 100% happy with connectivity when you reflash CM, stick to trying modems as the PP suggested.
Thanks, I'll give that a go and see what happens.

Dear All,
I've went ahead and flashed Sensation Rom a while back with full wipe etc.
Ive noticed that on my network (Cytamobile Cyprus) everytime my phone went to sleep after woken it will never switch from 3g to H, giving horrible speeds as a result -200 300kbps. However if data network was turned off and back on - H would work and i would get full speed. Ive tried a variety of ICS roms (even the official carrier update) and modems, even tried flashing a GB modem that I was using on my GB rom - no results.
Please Help.
Currently had to restore back to GB where my connection works fine.
If anyone has any advice on the matter I would really appreciate. I really like ICS
Best Regards
N!K!
Doesn't anybody have the same problem?
Backup, FULL wipe and give wanamlite ICS ROM a try.
If you still have connectivity issues, then flash various modems from the modem thread to gain best reception/stability/speed etc.

I've had the same issue running Resurection remix 1.8.
Fixed it with a full wipe and RR 1.9.1.

Thank you all. RR 1.9.1 fixed my problem. On the other hand too many SODs guess will have to reflash something else.
Hello all,
My Galaxy S2 (international version) is having wifi issues after I installed the stable release of cyanogenmod 9, and after flashing my modem. I'm not sure exactly which of the two caused the problem, if either, as they both happened pretty close in time. I was also under the impression that the modem firmware didn't affect wifi.
What normally happens is that the wifi will work for a few minutes and then stop. Also, despite not downloading any data, it says it's connected and has an excellent signal.
Any thoughts on what might be causing the issue?

Probably it is incompatibilty with the CM9. CM9 stock modem is good enough IMO.

I just tried reinstalling CM9 and I'm still left with the modem I flashed. So apparently CM9 doesn't come with its own stock modem. Also, the problem didn't go away. Might there be a compatibility issue between modem and CSC?

Wifi issues are Kernel related and no modem related.

change your kernel. Your Wi-Fi will work fine afterwards

Hi, Just follow the instruction in op and you wont have a problem. Not to lose anything just backup them! Simple!

You have to ODIN flash 4.0.4 stock rom before flashing CM10 to get rid of wi-fi issues. Thats all I know about that.
Did you lose your way to the cm10 discussion thread?

Hi all,
I installed PA v2.5. Everything worked well except my phone network signal. It is not detecting any signal. Did every thing i could do. wiped system/factory reset, wiped cache partition and dalvik cache. Fixed permissions. Formatted system. tried installing rom a number of times. Changed kernels from stock kernel to siyah 4.1.3 and 5.0. But none of the method worked. Please suggest the way i can get my phone signals as without network signal, it doesn't remain a phone.
Have you tried flashing another modem? You can download a modem here.
Why don't you try to install an other kernel? Different from siyah and stock... As kernels define how hardware work...

You installed siyah 4.1.3 with PA 2.5? They're not compatible and the phone shouldn't even have booted.
Anyways, if you're not able to get a signal, your modem has probably changed. You can check if the modem currently on your phone (settings>about phone) is the same as the one you originally had. ( I assume you've noted down your original modem details somewhere. And flash that modem from the link mentioned above. It should work

so please suggest some other kernel that works fine with pa2.5. I had installed i9100DDLPA base version originally. and now i have flashed it. still not getting signal. sometimes it appears but disappear next moment. it happens frequently. Now i have switched to stock ics 4.0.3. but i want this rom. i flashed resurrection remix and found same problem. but flashing stock modem fixed it. But its not working with pa.
Use siyah 5.0 or dorimanx 7.4 (or higher if there's a later release.) I think the siyah dev gokhanmoral has blocked siyah 5.0 downloads for some reason, so use dorimanx 7.x for now.
Flash the PA ROM, it'll automatically install the default kernel its using. You can install dorimanx after that. And then if necessary, the modem that works for you. Also you can use the getRIL app to match your radio and baseband. May help.

Hi, i love PA too but we have the same issue. Not exactly the same though. I get signal when i boot my phone, i get an H signal (the highest i could get before the issue) but after flashing PA, it drops to E only after about 2minutes. Pls pls reply back if you found a solution. I have tried different modems and kernels already, verified that Siyah 5 is not compatible, tried DorimanX, same thing. Tried 2 different version of PA, no luck. Not to mention that i also tried another sim.
GetRil did it..
Hurraaayyy....
getRil app solved the problem.:laugh: It gave me the option of flashing modems which were matching my phones modem hardware. Thanks to all guys who helped me. Thanks a lot. Anyone having the same problem as of mine or any network related problem please give a try to getRIL app. May be it could work for you too.

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..
"He" has a name
And if u said it happened before flashing roms, Then it must be a hardware issue.

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.
