Hi
I have tried many ICS roms and they seem to have wireless problems.
at times it takes time for them to connect or at times they are not able to connect. sometime there is no error message but at times i get authentication error (btw authentication credentials are correct). Is something wrong with ICS. Si anyone else have these problems. Is there any fix for it. i have tried many ics roms with different combination of kernels, mostly its the same issue.
i always have to revert back to GB rom and wireless is fine.connects instantly
any help will be appreciated.
thanks
Hi,
Same here. But I can't decide if it is because of juice defender or ICS. In GB worked ok even with Juice defender.

I've had the same problem. Tried many different ICS roms over the last 2 weeks or so.
The last one I tried - HyDrOG3N-ICS was horrible...
Wireless would not connect at all, even though I was standing right next to the router.
After reading through the forums etc I decided to start from scratch.
I reloaded stock Samsung rom with odin, hard reset the phone, formatted my external sdcard and deleted everything on the int sdcard.
I then loaded latest siyah GB kernel.
After this, I install HyDrOG3N-ICS 23.03
Installed GApps
Rebooted and waited 20 minutes (read it somewhere on the forums)
Rebooted and changed to SiyahKernel v3.0beta6 kernel
And finally installed DXLP7 modem.
I then reloaded all my apps from Market (Not apps restored from backups)
After all this, everything seems to work very well... Wireless is connected and working well.
I do have a problem with mobile data disconnecting every now and then, but it returns after a minute or so - might even be a problem with my provider.
I dont know which one of these steps was actually required - but this sorted it out for me.
It's almost like I had 'leftover' bits and pieces of all the different roms I tried... If it makes sense?
I dont know enough to confirm if this was the case - perhaps its not possible.
Perhaps it was just a happy shot that it all worked for me.
If you have a couple of hours spare - give it a bash...
Cheers

i have read many ppl have some issues with wireless on ICS. i was thinking about doing a factory reset , wipe both my internal and external storage.. but seems like quite a big job getting everything back..oh wellif i am really tempted i will go ahead and do it..but will wait for a while for more ICS build to come out.could be a bug in the official roms itself
Hi guys,
I have a huge problem. I had a stock GB firmware customized by Optus (carrier in Australia) on my S2 I then decided to change to the new ICS 4.0.4. I downloaded the stock unbranded firmware from SamMobile (Australia 2012 September 4.0.4 I9100XWLPW, I9100XSALP6, XSA) I updated using Odin. Before I did the update I reset the phone, did the update, it all went smoothly. After the update I reset the phone again and then proceeded to reinstall all my apps and restore my contacts, sms, etc.
The phone works and all functions on it work, however now very randomly the phone would totally freeze. The phone would be in standby, the screen would come on and it would be frozen. The screen stay on all the time and it does not respond at all. It will stay frozen until I restart the phone by pressing Home+power buttons to restart it.
After restart it all works fine for a few hours, sometimes a day and would just lock up again. The phone is not rooted and as I said i just changed the firmware from the Optus branded GB 2.3.6 to unbranded stock ICS 4.0.4 by using Odin.
Is there a way to find out what is causing the phone to lock up like that? Any suggestions would be helpful.
and then proceeded to reinstall all my apps and restore my contacts, sms, etc.

I hope you haven't restored any data app?

I made sure that I didn't restore any data apps. The only apps that got restored are the ones that get automatically restored by Play store.
I have disabled the live wallpaper that I had and it seems to have stopped the freezing for the moment. I will report on what I find out.
In the mean time if anyone else has a similar issue or has a definite solution please let me know.
Thanks
i know this is a resurrection, but don't see it has been resolved.
also found same/similar problem on another topic, but no resolution either.
couldn't find any resolution anywhere on the net, but possibly i'm just missing it (searching for wrong parameters?)
anyway, a friend of mine bought second-hand (third or even fourth hand to be precise) i9100 with 2.3.6 (stock KI3) on it. the guy who sold it to him said something like: "it works best on 2.3, on 4.x it's buggy".
it was working fine, but friend wanted newer OS, so we tried update. it didn't work, and i found out CSC was broken/missing. somehow i managed to repair it, and update was finally working, but was unable to find any for our location.
so next step was to find stock rom that would work on the device, and then i tried four different 4.1.2 stock roms from this topic.
after flashing it through odin, every one was acting fine, until couple of minutes after it started freezing or rebooting randomly.
then i tried flashing CWM, and flashing from sd card, but it was all the same.
wiping data, cache and dalvik cache, prior to flashing. wiping data after flashing...
nothing seemed to work.
GB works rock solid, ICS works better than JB, but stills it freezes or restarts randomly.
tried CM10, but all the same, except it works a bit faster then official JB. but who cares about speed if it freezes/restarts constantly?
back to who knows which build... freeze... samsung galaxy s2 - i9100... with yellow triangle... booting stopped.
so i decided to dig deeper, trying to find hungarian stock build (country we were told the phone came from) not being sure that KI3 is what the phone came actually with. i found 4.0.3, put it on SD card, wiped data, cache, flashed CWM, wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, flashed 4.0.3 from sd, wiped data, booted, entered location for updates - hungary. update found, hooray... downloading... installing... rebooting... working?
nope... it's worse than ever. trying to log onto google account. typing in email add.... freeze... switching phone on - freeze... thinking about... freeze.
i couldn't sit still. yellow triangle, all those reboots/freezes... at least i wanted that triangle gone, and without a JIG, there was only solution for me was to try triangle away. it wasn't available for download in my country from play store, so luckily xda was there.
somehow i managed to download it from the device, install it, click remove the triangle... it did it's magic, rebooted... and miracle happened!
no more freezes.
so i started torturing poor phone, benchmarking, playing games, listening to music.... it seemed stable for about an hour.
so i said to myself:
- it's possible that previous owners tried to upgrade it to newer firmware, and somehow screwed up the bootloader, which was fixed by this app? maybe that was all there was from the beginning? why not try putting 4.1.2?
and i did... took 4.1.2 spanish build from already mentioned page above, flashed it... and voila. working JB... torturing the phone... playing with it... hour passes, another hour...
friend wakes up... takes his phone in awe, starts playing with it.. we talk a bit... and then that look it just froze again!
from that moment on, the phone again starts restarting or freezing randomly...
and, yes, i still have no clue what could be the cause. it doesn't matter if wifi is on or off, if you're talking on the phone or not, bluetooth and gps are always off. only thing that he noticed is that it usually happens while he's using the phone (meaning: operating the digitizer or buttons). if he starts music playback and not touching buttons or screen, it will probably play for hours.
one more thing, but i doubt it would be the case. the battery in the phone is not original one that was shipped with it, but a quality replacement.
it doesn't feel as if the phone is overheating... so i don't know what else i could do with it.
for now, it's back to 2.3.6.
we both lost a week, torturing ourselves with this problem.
i don't know is there anything i could add more?
all suggestions are welcome.
cheers
Maybe try kernel cleaning script and try philz or siyah kernels.
You shouldn't have to flash a custom kernel so your phone won't freeze, but yes, you could run a nuke script in order to wipe clean all custom ROM's leftovers.
Try flashin' jb via mobile odin, see if it keeps freezing up on you. If so, nuke it up.

i'll try them out.
probably for the weekend, if not sooner. will report back here with info.
any other suggestions are also welcome.
thanks a lot.
cheers
ok, so here are some updates.
i finally got my hands back on my friends phone, and tried nuking remains of older flashes.
following that, i flashed stock spanish rom from above mentioned page, updated after installation to spanish update... and after a few minutes, sudden reboot...
so, went back to nuking, and flashed stock hungarian 4.0.3 i found elsewhere (mentioned in my earlier post. don't remember origin... if i find the link on another computer where i downloaded it on, i'll post the link). tried updating, says no updates found.
started torturing the device. it seemed solid, but battery reported it level was low, so hooked it up onto charger and all seemed well. but phone seemed a bit too hot.
after few minutes (this was all about half an hour to hour after flashing to 4.0.3), again freeze.
after rebooting the phone, battery was at 9%, as if processes were draining battery faster than charger recharged it.
so, i figured i gotta try original battery. so i switched his battery with genuine from my phone.
phone seems stable and less hot, for now.
still checking if it is going to freeze or reboot again.
it's about one hour since battery change. still on charger and using wifi and playing around with apps.
i'll check in with news later.
cheers
I have the same issue.but my battery is original.
What I noticed that the phone stuck when I receive an update notification.
Can I stop softwsre to ask for updates? ???
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app
^go to settings, about device, software update and detick auto update. that should stop it from trying to self-update.
ok, so here is an update to my friend's phone status.
currently on hungarian 4.0.3. about 3-4 freezes/reboots a day. sporadic connection breakups during calls. also, when we talk i can hear myself back. this brings me to conclusion it has to do with modem firmware. i found this topic, so i'll try putting that and see what will happen.
if that doesn't solve anything, my question is this: is there any way of knowing which firmware/rom was originally put on the device, since i don't know the real background of the device? i.e. some way of entering IMEI and finding out what should be on it?
cheers
EDIT: tried KH3 modem, no changes... i could still hear myself while talking to my friend on that device. also, it froze couple minutes later. going back to 2.3.5-2.3.6 for now.
so after couple of months, i finally got my hands back onto this phone...
gave my friend my phone, so i could play a bit with this faulty one.
i have played with it for a couple of days now, and here are things i've tried.
i received it from a friend with 2.3.5 on it which had triggered custom binary counter. he's been using it for couple months without any problems.
so i rooted it and installed triangle away again... reset counter, cleared and flashed hungarian stock (telenor) 4.1.2... random freezes again.
tried several stock roms, mostly hungarian ones (4.0.3, 4.1.2). even reformatted with .pit file... random freezes.
reformatted again with .pit and put XXLSJ, installed stability test and let it run...
cpu stability test 15.5 hours no problems, no freezes. then i realized it didn't have a sim card, so i rebooted phone and installed sim card. let it test cpu+gpu for 9 hours... no errors, no problems, no freezes.
so i thought, maybe it's all fine? but it wasn't! as soon as i took phone into my hands and started going through menus it froze!
so i tried SGII_repair, rooted and did "repair"... but nothing changed... still random freezes.
if i just let it do the stability test, it'll probably work forever.
things i've noticed:
- serial number is wrong format (14 hex digits instead of 11 alphanumeric)
- during stability test, cpu frequency dropped from 1200 to 800 mhz (maybe because it was getting warmer? 42-43C during cpu only+charging battery, and about 39-40 during cpu+gpu test)
i tried to find out which firmware is latest according to serial number via kies, but it gave me error.
i know it's from hungarian market, but don't know which exact part of it (branded or not).
don't know what previous owners did to it, and don't have backups of original efs or anything original.
i just want to make it work, don't care much about custom firmwares. i'd be happy even with unrooted stock... just for it to work!
i have no ideas what else to do.
anyone?
finally, as i couldn't resolve the problem, i returned phone to 2.3.5 and sold it as is.
thanks to all people who tried to help.
cheers
Last night my phone grew legs and ran all the way across the room while i was sleeping. When i woke up, after searching for my phone for 10 minutes, the vibration no longer works. I didnt know if it was a software or hardware problem. So, I flashed a backup from the day before (where vibration was working) and still no luck. So i flashed back to my current backup, when i rebooted, right before the bootanimation, it vibrates. Odd? It works when the phone is booting up, but not when the phone is booted. I'm running houstonn's Vanilla RootBox (4-20 v1) with houcha kernel. All help is appreciated!

Thanks for everyones help...
I was able to fix this, and find the root of the problem (for me atleast). Everytime i click the Dark RootBox, vibration stops working. To fix, you must wipe the device completely, and reflash the rom.
So, i have an used xt910 with Carbonrom KK 4.4.4, Safestrap v3.72 and Stock ROM. I have been having problems with the network since two weeks ago. Sometimes it just runs out of network out of the blue (Vodafone), even though my roommate still gets full signal. Sometimes by just restarting it the network would come back. Last saturday i rebooted it but then it would not turn on anymore, entering in a very annoying boot loop. And when i could boot into Recovery, a little surprise: The touchscreen would not work. First i thought it might be a hardware problem, tried dissasembling it and everything but nothing worked. But then out of the blue, around three hours later it started working properly again. Ok so i thought it could be some kind of bug with the rom so i installed CM 11 (the nightly version from the 22.11.). But it was running slowly, compared to Carbonrom. And i did not want to go back to carbon so i installed the Dirty Unicorns rom that i found here. And then today when i started it i saw that i was out of network signal again! So i tried rebooting it but it started with that stupid boot loop. Right now it is working okay, but it is really annoying to always go through this. So i do not think it was a problem with carbonrom (i am newbie with it). Has anyone ever encountered this problem bzw how did you manage to fix it?
Thanks a lot in advance!
(sorry for my english xD)
