[Q]Permanently Disable Wi-Fi on S2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I have hardware problems (I guess) on my SGS2, and when I turn ON my wifi, it's stucked at "Turning-on WiFi" without really turning ON. This is also true on when I reboot, my S2 automatically opens my WiFi, and as expected, stucks on "Turning-ON WiFi" again, which, maybe, drains my battery.
Why guess? I changed ROMs from Stocks to AOSPs and no chance of really turning the WiFi ON.
I searched on XDA (obviously) and found this thread, saying that I should delete the /system/lib/modules/bcmdhd.ko (or some bcm* file) to disable the WiFi module, but on the Stock Jelly Bean (Currently Using), there's no /modules directory...
Searched for the file "bcm" through Root Explorer, and it showed a LOT of bcm-named files, so I have no idea what to delete...
Can you guys help me out?
I appreciate if you would. Thanks!

Surely you must take it in assistance, putting ourselves on maybe the ROM stock. You're not the first, but most people have solved the problem in this way

Try change kernel that should be works

Xperia Sola Wifi Problem

Hello guys
My Sony Xperia Sola was perfect until i updated to ICS. ICS is very fast,smooth and beautiful software but since then i am experiencing a wifi problem. My wifi get frozen and stuck to connected. I can't disconnect it. The only way to disconnect it is to switch of the phone. I foundnd a "solution" to this problem. Problem seems to disappear if you make a factory reset of the phone. But after a week it comes again. It's so annoying. My "solution" is to make back up-and restore once a week to avoid the problem. If i didn't do the factory reset problem comes again. Is there any solution to this issue? I heard a lot who have this problem after updated to ICS(problems appears and to xperia u)
Thank you

Change the wireless interface on your router to be 802.11 b/g only - not b/g/n

flash ur device using flash tool, it can be found in the forum too, and it shall be fine after that, just dont know that how long it can last...
same issue
I completely understand the original post.
I don't want to bother with any routers, 'cause it had been working fine before. It mustn't be a question of router settings.
Some software upgrade of the phone might have caused this problem and I'm still waiting for any reply from Sony on this. If they don't do anything in a month I'm gonna push this **** device to a repair station, though I don't feel much desire for the mess that comes with this procedure.
Generally the phone is very slow (and sometimes it opens the phonebook instead of call list, sometimes it take 10 secs, etc.), I wanna get rid of it but I have to wait till the end of my telephony contract's period.

NFC doesn't enable

Has anyone encountered an issue with NFC where tapping the checkbox to enable it flashes a checkmark for less than a second and then it disappears, meaning that NFC was not enabled?
I'm rooted and unlocked so I suppose there's a possible relationship there (I hope not, it doesn't seem to make sense for me).
I'm running stock firmware, 32GB Wifi (US).
Edit: needed a reboot. I'm in the process of trying to get Google Wallet running.
Mine doesn't work either, though I'm not entirely bothered but if a patch or simple solution occurs I'll persue it.
I've have no real need for it, but it works on my phone ok. - which is the Sony Xperia Z.
I neither have any idea as to what is causing the fault.

Ok, first you need to install root browser, and then open it, select data, you will see the folder USF, hold the icon, and then rename it to usf1,then ok. AFTER THAT, POWER OFF AND TURN ON AGAIN, FIX THE PROBLEM!
And for non-rooted devices.......

Non-rooted should have no problem turning on nfc, if you do experience that problem, take it to sony, maybe the tablet is defect

[Q] google now and problem with wifi disconnecting

I would like to ask you for help in some strange matter.
I have Note 2 (N7100) with stock soft 4.1.2. not rooted
Maybe first I will describe the circumstances and then the problem.
Recently I have installed llama in order to control the time of wi-fi connection and the time of synchronization. I added the rule: screen on wifi and synchronization on and screen off - wifi and synchronization off. Moreover I installed in my car NFC tag in order to auto connect with my car radio. For this I installed from Google Market the plugin Bluetooth Auto Connect and NFC Task Launcher. Everything works fine, when I’m switching the screen on, wifi is connecting and synchronization is on and in reverse when I’m switching the screen off wifi and synchronization is switching off. The rule in NFC Task Launcher concerning auto connecting to my car radio also works fine. However the problem is that after some time (let’s say after a few hours) when the screen is on and I’m connected to wifi, wifi suddenly disconnects when I’m clicking on widget of ‘google now’ although wifi is on. When I’m switching the screen off and again switching it on wifi is connecting but again when I’m clicking on google now the situation repeats. The only solution is to restart my phone but the whole problem comes back after a few hours.
Did anyone have the same or similar problem? Please help me to solve it.

Galaxy s2 GPS doesn't work good

Hello .i bought Galaxy s2 i9100 VERSION 2.3.5 and i updated the ROM to android v 4.1.2 I9100XWMS1_I9100NEELS1_NEE_4.1.2 JellyBean.
my problem is that the GPS does not work great .whene wifi is activated the GPS works great .but whene i desabled wifi ,sometimes in google maps he show me a diferent place and sometimes he shows me nothing . what is the probleme ? can you help me ?
Probably the problem is with your pool servers. When you use wifi or cellular data your gps find sattelites with extra help of this. But if you want use only gps without companion you mast set your proper lokalization with app from gp. You must change region for your gps probably as defualt is africa. You need to set proper localization. And everything should works ok

Adding to mosepel's advice - use TopNtp and GPS status&toolbox from Google Play

How to limit internet speed connection?

I am searching for few days now an app, which can limit internet speed - overall for global android system, or even better - for every single app.
The only one I found (BradyBound) doesn´t work (my devices are rooted of course).
The other one, has only internet speed limiter for uploading - and I need it for download.
Is there anything I can do?
