HULLO there senior people,first i am new to android world... I have bought a used htc first at&t , which is rooted as per superuser app inside, its also pre unlocked(using local network).running jelly bean the problem is wifi, when i turn off its wifi, i cant be able to on again, it showed on(slider turns blue on) but it shows all networks not in range, its not access point issue(i am pretty familier with networking stuff)...... i have to reset(turn off and on again) my phone to be able to turn on wifi, means before reboot i have to keep it at on position and than reboot than its working again, if i leaves it at off position before reboot its not gonna work like before. thanks in advance, i have bought it in 125 US$.....every thing is perfect except WIFI... and gps also doesn't work, which doesn't matter to me
Hmm. That's an odd one. Can you check to see if there is a custom rom and / or kernel installed? Let us know the system / build version of the software and the kernel version it is using. Should be able to find this in Settings > About Phone > Software Information or something along those lines.

Okay, my phone is on the 2.3.4 OTA update it is also rooted and unlocked ... have recently wiped it clean to try to track down the issue ...
since updating it ... now when i go to the marketplace it will 'hang' and not download anything for a bit ... the H+ icon on the top is in black letters ... after a while the icon will update and show the H+ in blue and the arrows start to light up and the download will finally start ...
if i connect it to wifi it works just fine
i notice if i let the phone sleep for a legnth of time it will do this over again, but if i keep it 'awake' it continues to work as normal...
is there a setting someplace that i am overlooking that allows you to suspend cellular data while sleeping ?
It seems similar to what a lot of us OTA-ers are experiencing. Definitely wondering about this as well.
~ Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G ~
ok so it is not just me .... searched on the forum for a bit and did not find a post about it.
Is it only when you go to the Market?
Are you using the new Market app? (New Market app can cause data to drop).
More info please.
when i first applied the OTA it had the old market but was doing this ... (i did a reset because of it and the fingerprint scanner not working) ... after the reset the first time i went to the market it downloaded the new version and worked for a bit ... but now it is back to making the H+ turn black which i am guessing is showing that there is no data ??? because nothing else will work for a bit after that happens ...
oh, and the fingerprint scanner still doesn't work but thats another issue i need to figure out.
Make sure that your phone is logged into Google Talk by following these steps:
Go to your phone’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
If you’re already logged into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
Launch Talk again to sign in
Check the markets support page, its under known issues, had the same problem and it worked for me
Hi!. Today is a bad day for me My wifi sucks. Yesterday evening I could use it to video call with my friends. This morning when I turned on the wifi, it turned off after a few seconds, it could not scan the wifi at home.

One Factory reset
Two Install stock rom
Three return to service centre mentioning that you have read a lot about these issues you have .
jje
Make sure your WiFi is not using any channels above 11. If so, the stock firmware is able to briefly scan and find the wireless but not connect.
I had/have the same issue and the only way to fix was to change my wireless to use a lower channel and not auto switch channels.
Turns out this was (I believe) a limit in 2.3.3. Though I've tested on 2.3.4 (Nexus S) and this has the same issue.
I posted a similar problem else where and one person responded saying that (the leaked ) stock 2.3.4 firmware in wireless -> advanced settings has an option to set Regulatory <something> that allows all channels to be used.
Hope this helps,
I got a same issue. And, I had changed a lot of ROMs but still in this condition. Did you found the solution? Thank you very much
I get the same issue...
When i go to wifi settings and turn it on, it starts scanning and seconds later it turns off. Sometimes it won't even turn on and i have to make a hard reset.
Tried different ROMs and android versions but that was to no avail...
Any ideas?
my s2 also have problem on wifi and hotspot.. when i try to switch on the hotspot.. there is an error underneath.
can somebody help?
i oso flashed 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 firmware but jus no help..
Found any solution ?

Hi, everyone.
After a slight fall, my S5830L started rebooting randomly. In some cases it just shutdown.
Looking for causes, I've found that when Data Connection is active ( In Settings - Wireless and Network Settings - Mobile Networks) it reboots.
If I turn off Data Connections everything is fine. I even can connect using WiFi when available, and synchronize accounts, send emails, access market, etc. All OK.
When I check again Data Connection option, sooner or later (rather sooner) it fails again.
Has anyone heard about issues like this? I need some help to deal with it. I can use almost everything, except data connection, and I really miss it
Thanks to all for the answers, any idea is welcome!
Augusto.
PS: Hope my mail is clear enough, since English is not my native language...

Hi, this is not normal, what firmware do have you installed?
This problem may be occur with any program installed and not for firmware problem.
I've flashed at least three different firmwares and with all the same problem persists.
Right now i've Android 2.3.6 (from Entel PCS, Chile)
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf- CL771662
Compilation Number: GINGERBREAD.UBKPL
Baseband Version: S5830LUBKPL
The problem started after my son dropped the phone downstairs, just a couple of steps, though...
I don't remember installed anything wierd, for that time.-
PS: I took the info about Entel PCS version from your web. Thanx. Nice Job!
I would have to agree that it sounds more software then hardware based. Usually if hardwares broken its very predictable. I would try to restore a different firmware stock or custom. I have an L and went with a custom rom. The data dropping might be a baseband issue but someone more wise than I would have to comment on that.
The wierd thing is that on the first connection it works, at some point the connection hangs, then while trying to reconnect it shutdown.
I was running a Samsung's 2.3.4 firmware when the problem started, then I flashed a Personal Stock 2.3.4 firmware (the original, that came with the phone), after that tried Entel PCS's 2.3.6. I keep this one because it's the newer version...
All behave the same way. The baseband should be the same for all, because the L (S5830L) is for LatinAmerica, and I've always double checked this.
Hi,
Have you tried to flash the original stock ROM again? You can download it from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
This site also explain how to use odin to flash the firmware.
My Android version is 2.3.4and Baseband is S5830LUBKPF and it works OK
I believe it might be hardware wise. Have you rooted you SGA already?
In summary (due to limited/slow internet access via wifi)
* Phone is a stock Samsung Galaxy S2 - v4.1.2 (UK Three network stock ROM)
* I'm from the UK and GPS works fine over there.
* I'm in Europe for holiday and GPS does not work at all.
Changes so far:
- Changed SIM card
- Added new APN, which includes this line for APN Type, which is default,supl,mms,agps and while Roaming Data works fine, GPS is not connecting at all (e.g. Google Maps, Co-Pilot, etc).
Using an app called GPS Test - it CAN find sats (up to 5 or 6 different sats) but NEVER get a fix at all.
Used an app called Fasterfix and set the server to Europe (I have root) - still no luck.
It CAN find a fix (well sort of, location is incorrect but is close by) if I enabled WiFi from our hotel. But useless when I'm out and about.
What else can I try to resolve this as I will need to use GPS in the next few days time (driving using satnav on my phone)
I have tried to do a search here but the hotel's wifi is pretty crappy/slow. :/
I'd be grateful if anyone could help me to resolve this.
Many thanks!

Flash a new rom!
-Root the phone via CF-Root or the App "Framaroot" from XDA , then install CWM through ROM Manager.
-Then download the ROM.zip you want and install it in CWM.

Thanks for the reply, but in case you've missed it, I am in Europe... I cannot risk doing it in case I brick my ONLY phone that I will need for the rest of my holiday. And I got sucky wifi access to download anything anyway.
BTW, seems overkill to do this... does it REALLY work? If so, why does it work when my stock ROM does not work? I'm just curious...

Oh , sorry.
Try to make a backup via GO Backup (best backup without root acess).
Then make a factory reset and restore the backup.
me too past two day.
I tried many rom: CM 10.1, 10.2, stock 4.1.2...but get same problem.
OK. Here's what's always worked for me so far as GPS is concerned, obviously YMMV & there's no flashing/risk of bricking your phone involved.
If you don't already have GPS Status, get it from Google Play. Go outside to a place that has good line of sight in all directions. Turn mobile data & GPS on & fire up GPS Status. Go into tools/manage A-GPS state & reset A-GPS XTRA Data. Then go back into the same setting & download new ephemeris data (which is essentially tables of satellite positions/where they'll be & when), then close GPS Status. Turn off mobile data & put the phone into flight mode (leave GPS on), then fire up GPS Status again. Wait for as long as it takes (normally not more than 5 minutes) for it to get a good/accurate fix (down to a few mtrs/with plenty of satellites).
Once I do this, it's always enabled me to get accurate/fast fixes for anything up to a couple of weeks until the ephemeris data gets old, in which case you repeat. Obviously if you have network connectivity this will help getting a fix, particularly in 'crowded' urban areas (cities/lots of buildings/poor LOS).
Edit - Also, if the above doesn't work, try this. I understand your reluctance so far as flashing anything goes, but you either want your GPS to work or you don't. Yes, it should 'just work', but there's lots of things in the world that should 'just happen' & they don't for whatever reason. This is how it goes with smartphones. The GPS on the SGS2 is particularly notorious for issues that simply can't be resolved easily for some people.
Flashing another rom or kernel may/may not work, if the GPS drivers are messed up, doing so will give you fresh drivers & may fix the problem if that's what's causing it.
Hi! I have a problem with my Moto E2 4g (xt1526) it has Android 6.0â?¦ The problem is, that when i try to turn on The Mobile data, it never turns on. But, when i conect my phone to a WiFi, The H/E/3g or LTE Just appears. I mean. The data Just works if i conect my phone to a WiFi point. Do you have any idea of what is happening? I'm not root, but i have a custom recovery.
I've tried to make a factory resed but it didn't work, it didn't fix The problem. Can you help me?
*Don't tell me: Change your kernel or ROM, 'cause if i change it. It will let me without WiFi *
I have an issue with my LTE dropping sometimes, and I either have to reboot or use the app LTE Discovery to get it to reconnect. I'm rooted, but I think it works without root. It happened enough for the app to be very useful, so I bought it. I don't think the paid version has any better results, but I enjoy having paid software now.
I'm running FireKernel, I think, and LTE Discovery doesn't play very nice with it, it freezes once it loads the first screen. The next version of SlimRom that I flash I won't be flashing a custom kernel over it, so I think that I'll get my functionality back.... soooo, my questions are:
1) Does a reboot work to get you back yer datas?
2) What carrier are you on? Have you flashed the MVNOSlayer_R4.zip atop your ROM and selected your carrier to ensure that your LTE configs are loaded properly?

Hi! Thanks for your reply. First of all, no. It doesn't matter if i do 2…3 or 4 reboots. Data never gets conected. And i'm from Venezuela. I use Movistar VE. I've no flashed that zip. I don't know what's that 'cause it's The first time that it happens to me. I will take a screenshot of my problem.
