Hi guys,
TL;DR version: Wifi hotspot SSID is not displayed in other devices. No error on phone. Android 2.3.7 official + CWM + root.
Slightly longer version:
Previously I had installed the official ICS Android version for my Xperia Sola and every function was working. Since it started to lag after a while I went back to gingerbread 2.3.7 official 6.0.B.3.184 ROM. Also I installed Clockwork Mod and rooted the phone in order to use the custom kitchen themes.
Problem:
I did not try this before rooting or CWM, but now one day I tried to make a wifi hotspot with my phone and the SSID is not turning up.
Phone acts like everything is fine and says hotspot active, but other devices (tried different laptops and phones) cannot see the newly created hotspot.
Things I've tried:
Doesn't matter if I use WPA2 or unsecured settings.
Also wifi scanner tools on my laptop cannot find the hotspot's SSID.
USB tethering works and the phone can connect to other wifi networks fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a Galaxy S2 and my phone hangs up and/or reboots after a while when using L2TP IpSec with PSK VPN.
Notes:
- PPTP works fine
- This happens everytime I turn L2TP on, sometimes after 10-15 seconds, sometimes after a few minutes
- It seems to freeze/reboot faster when I'm on 3G compared to Wifi
I tried to no avail:
- Lightnin' Rom with several kernels (galaga, ninphetamine and stock)
- the latest stable CM7.1
I found another post on androidforums.com titled "Support when L2TP/ipsec crt is in use samsung galaxy s 2 will crash"
(cannot post the link since I'm not allowed to...)
I hope this issue will get more traction on xda since I am in China and having my VPN working smoothly is pretty important to me...
Is anyone experiencing the same issue?
This happens to my phone as well
Cognition S2 1.5.1
I finally solved the problem by flashing a stock ROM with Odin.
I flashed ZSKI3 from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Afterwards, L2TP started working fine over 3G/Wi-Fi, and moreover, I can now connect using PPTP over 3G (it was not working before but I was assuming my network provider was blocking it since I am in China).
I then went again through the rooting process and I am using LeoMar75 ROM without any issue with my VPN .
(For info: initially, I had tried to install stock kernel through CWM recovery, I had also tried CM7.1 after wipe cashe/data and also formatting system, but those did not solve the problem)
Also: flashing the stock ROM through Odin is a non-wipe install, so I did not have to reinstall anything.
Done this too.
My phone reboots after trying to connect to PPTP VPN.
Im on Lightning rom.
Any fix?
On my SGS II & T-Mobile SIM VPN freeze only in 2/3G connection after 10-30 seconds when traffic connections are established. There is 5 second gap between freeze and reboot, when phone doesnt respond to network traffic. So it looks like some type of watchdog ? Its 2.3.3 Android.
I solve this issue with MIUI ROM...
Over here instead usin the basic in os vpn or 1vpn it connects fine but no traffic on apps at all,i know those servers do work,wonder what may conflict considering that as i said theres no traffic but it is indeed connected to whatever server i tried.
My phone freezes everytime I connect to VPN using L2TP! There must be a fix...
I'm currently On CheckRom HD v4 and siyahkernel v2.6.5 and having this problem, everytime I successfully connected via L2TP connection after few seconds or few minutes phone will reboot automatically or freeze and I have to reboot it manually, I used Cognition Rom, even Stock rom and stock kernel but nothing changes, Anyone know a little fix for this?
Hello
I have same problem with my SII and the Lightnin' Rom
When the vpn is etablish the phone reboot, but only in 3G, i have no problem for use same connection VPN in wifi mode
I have the SGH-I727 with stock Rogers ROM and this problem presents itself as well. IKE authentication succeeds, L2TP authentication succeeds and I log about a half-dozen connections on the firewall (email update, looking for market, etc) and then raccoon crashes (per alogcat). The firewall is Strongswan 4.5.2 with xl2tpd . WIFI/APN makes no difference. Any IKEv2 clients for Android out there?
Does an unlocked version of the Galaxy S2 with no custom ROMs also suffer from connectivity issues when it comes to L2TP VPN?
I don't know if this helps, but most of the times, I'll be having a VPN connection over Wi-Fi and not over 3G.
Upgraded Galaxy S2 to latest ICS update available in India.
But after that Wifi is not working properly. WAP2 authentication is not happening properly.
Wifi analyzer shows good signal strength.
No notification for wifi shown in top bar. But in notification dropdown wifi is full green.
tried battery remove, wifi sleep policy change, password change and *# code to reset driver.
Any other help?
thanks

Are you sure the password you entered is correct? Because this problem shouldn't occur if you're on the official firmware and kernel. This MAY happen if you're rooted and have a custom ROM installed which is in a BETA state. This is normally a problem related to the kernel itself. You should probably try restoring your phone if the WIFI doesn't work at all. Or maybe you can restart the phone again and there might be a fix.
doing a factory reset also might help... it helped me in my case.
which from you upgrading ,via KIES or ODIN.try to download firmware then flash via ODIN.i m had the same case first time come to ICS.
sorry for my bad english
Some solution
I updated using Kies.
BTW, I have some work around, for anyone interested.
On wifi router disable WEP encryption (not WPA), in that case S2 can connect to wifi properly.
But when WEP encryption AES or any other is enabled, it cannot connect to wifi.

Hey guys,
I have leaked JB 4.1 on my SGS2, and I flashed Dorimanx kernel over it.
Everything is pretty much ok except the fact that usb tethering, wifi portable hotspot and bluetooth tethering are not working!
Wifi portable hotspot turns on and two seconds after it turns off automatically. It's same with the USB tethering. Bluetooth tethering stays on but it shows bluetooth error.
I tried with tethering apps from the market - nothing reallly works, evene the apps that use root priviliges.
Please, help!

And all this started happening when you flashed dorimanx................................?
To be honest, I haven't tried tethering while I had leaked stock JB.
Maybe I should flash over some other kernel and see if the tethering is working?
err....yeap, you should
could also re flah the whole thing.

I experienced this issue (No WIFI and Bluetooth) when using Jeboo on Biftor's rom. I flashed Siyah and currently I have it working with BT and USB but Wifi doesn't work.
Try a different kernel and see if you get better results!
I am experiencing the same problem.
What I have done:
Rooted SGS2 GTI9100 using Method 1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
Backed up SMS & Call History
Installed Space & Time 2.2 ROM
When asked to Select Modem & Kernel - I selected the top Dorimanx one from options (I didn't know which to select)
Restored SMS & Call history
Had to re-root by running cwm-touch-6.0.x.x-i9100.zip again to enable Titanium Backup, SuperSU, etc.
WiFi works, mobile data works but I cannot get tethering to work. It disables after about 2 seconds as shomey describes.
Can anyone see what may be wrong? Could it be to do with the modem & kernel selection? How do I check which modem & kernel I need?
Hope you can help. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I follow always taking great use by cu iconsigli and today I find myself in porima borrow one person.
I have an Archos 101xs January 10 QWERTY Keyboard.
The device has always worked perfectly until I installed the new firmware 4.1.4 (from ICS), by that time I had problems with wifi and bluetooth.
The WIFI is not activated, it is detected in any way from the device, when imposed "on" the connection is disabled autiomaticamente "off", although it appears the phrase "Turn Wifi".
WPS does not work, I manually add the wireless network.
Same goes for Bluetooth, when it does not detect a connection active.
I did different tests:
Full reset of the device, install the previous ROM (4.1.2), I tried to install the root but is impossible given that only works on FW 4.0x.
I also contacted the Archos assitance to request an official version of the firmware 4.0, it is at present untraceable online.
I ask someone who is in the same condition about how to fix it.
If someone is in possession of a backup of the FW of this device to a version with WiFi functional and can load an online backup would be wonderful.
I thank all those who intervene. :good:
