Time <1 hour - Difficulty: moderate - Fun factor: high - Cost: 4 bucks

1. Follow the directions here to root the Flyer to get S-Off:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194709

This lets you have admin rights to your flyer. It lets you modify any file on the device as well as install and delete any components in the root of the device. The guide is pretty easy to follow, so im not going to put the steps here.

2. Download Root Explorer from the marketplace:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer

This lets you modify any file on your phone. You can use this site to push apps to your phone. It's pretty much awesome.

3. Download the wpa file: wpa_adhoc-signed.zip from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754961

4. On your computer extract the wpa_supplicant file from the said zip file

5. Plug your flyer in, and transfer the file to the SD card on the Flyer

6. On your Flyer,

turn off wifi.

Then, using root explorer, navigate to the folder with the file. Long press on the file and select copy.

7. Navigate to system/bin/. Menu -> Bookmarks -> Root Folder, scroll down and click on system then bin. First hit the Mount R/W button on the top of the screen. Then, long press on the existing wpa_supplement file and choose rename. Call it wpa_supplement.backup or something similar.

8. Hit the paste button on the bottom of the screen. You should have wpa_supplement (new file) and the wpa_supplement.backup chilling out next to each other.

9. Long press on the new wpa_supplement file and give the following permissions: (rwxr-xr-x) Mess around with the check boxes until you get this to show.

10. exit root explorer, turn on wifi, and you shall see the adhoc networks listed as (*)adhoc_network's_name

I hope that made sense. Reply back if you have any questions....

@ Zlatty

It Worked!!!! A million thanks! I actually had went to BestBuy today to return the Flyer in exchange for an iPad, did a quick check on my phone to see if anyone had responded to my post and BINGO! You're a lifesaver, the steps you outlined were clear, concise and easy to implement. I really liked the Flyer (mini SD, voice commands, perfect size, etc.) and didn't want to let it go. Now, thanks to you, it's not only perfect for my needs, but a truly customizable, awesome machine! Again, thank you so much!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Zlatty:
Fantastic. I'm glad that I was able to help.

Should you have any questions, there are plenty of pros on this forum

I am running Mwakious Flying ROM and I'm trying to get the adhoc to work. I followed these directions but when I tried to turn the wifi back on it would not turn on and eventually just gave an "error" message.

Any ideas what I may have done wrong?

Forgot to mention I'm S-Off on BB wifi Flyer

Is this still the best method to adding ad hoc support?

Don't want to assume- will this step by step instruction work on the View or is the method different from the Flyer?

Reconnect

Hi Guys, nice instructions, thanks for that.

I have a Flyer, rooted and with Honeycomb.

Since I replaced the wpa_supplicant my flyer reconnects after a while in wifi mode. Does anybody know, how to solve this problem? Is there a wpa_supplicant file which is espacially for Honeycomb?

Thank in advance!

Hi

My Galaxy S2 has a habit of rebooting or shutting down spontaneously about once a day, and sometime more.

Can it be because of a conflict in some of the programs I downloaded?

The phone has the latest Samsung firmware, and all the software was downloaded from the Market. If the problem is with a conflict in software, how do I find the problematic software in order to uninstall it?

Many Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stian230:
If you download the watchdog from the mark, you can monitor your apps to see if there are those who give the random reboots

I had some random reboots after moving some apps to sd. Moved them all back and no more reboots.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phk:
Flash stock firmware, KE7 for example.

If you keep getting reboots, use the warranty to change your damaged hardware
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclypz:
As silly as it sounds, I think these random reboots have something to do with inserting an external SD card.

I just bought a aData 16GB microSD and ever since I plugged it in, my phone has rebooted itself twice in the morning while listening to mp3s (my MP3s are stored on my microSD card).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phk:
That actually makes sense. The SDCard must be damaged, or the card-reader slot.

Android is supposed to handle a corrupted IO device, but i think that's not your case...

Please try to do the following:

Connect your phone in Debug Mode to the PC. Then,

- Start cmd.exe

- type "adb logcat"

if you see a lot of output, you're OK

- Wait for reboot

- Copy paste here the last lines before reboot

Maybe we could understand the bug itself.

Alternatively, try another SD card and make sure you're at the KE7 ROM. Also, please tell: Do you move your apps to SDcard?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclypz:
Is there a better way to capture? the cmd window appears to have a max character before it clears the oldest results. Also..it looks like logcat doesn't have time stamps? Or are the results cut-off from the screen?

Unless somebody tells me a better way to do this, I'll continue capturing and stop the capture once the phone reboots, then copy & paste the log here. Should I be concerned about inadvertently passing on any personal information in these logs?

No..my apps aren't moved to SD. I only use my MircoSD card for multimedia, as the 16GB internal is more space than i'll ever need for apps (and probably faster).

PS: For the record, I have stopped listening to MP3s and my phone hasn't rebooted itself for 4 hours straight now. So its looking more and more like the the SDcard is the culprit.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phk:
Type CTRL+C to stop adb logcat when the phone reboots. Then you got the latest output
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclypz:
I couldn't replicate the problem again while I ran logcat for 3 hours straight.

But here's the kicker:

Once I left work, I jumped in the car, plugged my phone into my car stereo via the 3.5mm jack started up my mp3s again and immediately experienced the issues below all within 10 min. (Go figure :rolleyes:)

- Music skips randomly (silence and then the music continues playing at a later point..like a CD skip)

- Music will stop playing suddenly, and I have to press play again

- Followed by the phone rebooting itself again.

It doesn't seem to reboot once a USB cable is plugged in? And it doesn't reboot if I don't have something in the 3.5mm jack Does that make any sense at all? Is there another way to log without the USB cable plugged in?

Either way...I'm still sold on the either the SDcard being the culptit, or Samsung's Music app (call it a hunch).

All of the above randomly happens while I'm playing music stored on the SDcard, with Samsung's Music app, no USB cable attached (battery powered) and headphones/stereo plugged into the 3.5mm jack. That seems to be the only way I can replicate the problems above.

I haven't given up yet:

Once I got home, I formatted the SDcard with the utility here: http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3 and will try again at work tomorrow with the same Samsung Player. If it still reboots, I'll try again with a third party player like winamp.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phk:
Don't forget the culprit could well be RAM memory on your phone.

#1st Try:

Copy your MP3 to the Phone's internal memory card, and then take a day or two without the SDCard.

--> If the problem is SDCard\SDCard Slot, you will see no reboots

#2nd Try:

If it still reboots, without any SDCard in, try formatting to Stock KE7 and using it *without SDcard* and *without installing much apps*.

--> If it stopped rebooting, the problem was your ROM

--> If it still does some rebooting, use your Warranty, you have damaged the RAM inside.

Cheers

Had the same issue, disappeared for about 3 days after a factory reset then came back. I sent the handset back and the replacement has been fine for nearly a week now. So if you don't find a quick solution my advise is exchange it and save yourself some time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclypz:
So i appeared to have resolved my issues by doing the following:

1. FULL (overwrite) format (not quick format) the SD card with this utility: http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3 . This took several hours to format my 16GB card, so be prepared to be without a SD card for a while.

2. Factory reset the phone (I'm on KE7)

3. Re-copy all my MP3s back to the card, and all seems well.

PS: For those of you that upgraded to KE7 and didn't factory reset, I highly advise you do. My battery life appears to have improved, and I even got my "galaxy live wallpaper" back (which vanished after updating to KE7).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phk:
Sorry Oleost, your RAM is a bye-bye RAM.

I/DEBUG ( 2568): signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1 (SEGV_MAPERR), fault addr 0000000
0

this happens exactly in a PC where RAM memory looses it's contents.

In this case, a "C" pointer was set to the Ram first cell (0x000000) which isn't, of course, what it should.

That is the proof of what i suspected in the above outputs, and what you tell about them.

1) Your crashes are Random and occur at Random situations

2) Your programs loose data and Android OS kills them (0x00000 ptr, for example)

These two, my friend, can only be burned RAM.

Please RMA your device. I hope you've bought it in a Store.

Hope i've helped....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seade:
I also have random reboots and crashes. Although they only occur when I'm not a using the phone, I can make my phone crash by turning on the torch/flashlight and waiting a minute. Also, every crash results in an instantaneous battery drop which can be seen on the battery graph.

My question is, is there any way to find the logs AFTER the phone has crashed or do I have to have it connected during the crash? I'm not using a memory card and I'm on a rooted KE2 kernel with KDJ baseband and KE1 build.

And it's 4 days without a Reboot!

3) In Italy a person have suggested to use a Static IP in Wireless Section! I've not tryed yet,

because now my SGS2 is working fine

Has anyone had any updates or advances in resolving this issue? For now I just turn off wifi unless I really need it then turn it off again before it turns off itself.

Would love a proper fix though..

Who knows when Samsung will actually get a fix out for this...

Oh sorry yeah didn´t recognize it im living in Spain so i was looking for the open Europe firmware, unfortunatly i just checked it and there is no firmware in this version for Australia, so at the moment there is no fix for you.

You could try to set the settings in your Wifi to disconnect when your phone is locked that worked for me, ICS 4 is coming soon so i think this would fix your problem as well.

I had this issue too, sgs2 rebooting 2 times a day.

i noticed that my battery space between the connectors is far more greater with an sdcard insert.

my girlfriend has no sd card and the battery fits perfect. i have an 8gb sdcard that pushes the battery down :S i fixed it with al little piece of paper under the battery.

also i read that sd card + wifi is rebooting so a sollution to that would be turn off your wifi policy to screen of wifi off, all this worked for me :D no rebooting more on my sgs2 ( im on latest firmware 2.3.6 )

hi

im running CheckRom v4 with siyah kernal v3.6.8 and i get a reboot randomly during the day that causes my phone to go into a constant state of rebooting and when it stabilizes itself, i find i have a massive battery drop of 10 or 20%. It just drops it doesnt show any usage etc. You can see it here when it first goes into the red. It seems to happen especially when i reboot the phone so i dont know whether its an app thats doing this. I do have a lot of apps... Also ive noticed when it does reboot, it takes ages to find the network/wifi. I dunno if its related...

No SD Card installesd, reboot happened underway without wifi network.

I just went to the service point, and told them, that ,my phone rebootes every 24 or 25 hours and does this over and over again. they just reflashed it and gave it back to me the other day, I waited 24 hours and it rebooted, then the sent it to samsung,, two weeks later I got it back, and they switched the usb jack to a new one (WTF??), and reflashed the phone.

Hey guess what: 24 hours later reboot. I just wanted a replacement unit... :-(

I want a new phone... this sucks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamen08:
The only fixes are to:

1. root your device and re-image using a custom ROM or 2.3.3

2. Wait for next update to come out.

Everything everyone has done has either worked for a little while or not at all. The only ones saying its fixed are those who re-image using Odin....

But I think its bug on Android 2.3.6. I bought and insterted ADATA 16GB class 10 micro sd card when my phone was on 2.3.5, and it worked really well for around 3 weeks. I changed camera photo and video path to SD and moved all my videos and photos to SD.

But after upgrade to 2.3.6 XWLA4 it rebooted 2 times. I'm now waiting for ICS.

Update:

I flashed stock 2.3.6 UHLB2 and the reboot/crash issue has gone.

Update 2:

My UHLB2 crashed for the first time when I listening to music :(

Issue is still there, I better flash back old ROM.

Update 3:

I flashed stock XWKL1 2.3.6 ROM and its working fine with SD card inserted.

My phone haven't crashed for continues 6h music play :)

Seems to be router-specific!

Had the S2 completely stable with WiFi on at all times. Linksys router at home and work. Replaced the router at work with a D-Link and got reboot issues at work but never at home. Set up another Linksys WRT54GL at work and problem solved. D-Link was the sinner. (Of course there is a problem in the phone firmware that allows this to happen, but the D-Link triggers it.)

Hope this can help some people solve their problem.

Also have a 32 GB SD-card mounted, did never remove it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Bruderlin:
I think it's the WiFi

I have a Galaxy S2 as well, same problem. Started right after I upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6.

I think it's the WiFi because:

The original version had an obvious problem where the WiFi was very low range. If you held the device in a way where the bottom of it was in your palm, it reduced the WiFi range even more to where it was ridiculous. Now that I have upgraded to 2.3.6, it is obvious that the WiFi performance has increased. I think Samsung have increased WiFi performance by upping the power, and consequently reduced the battery life.

But for me the clincher is that my phone only spontaneously reboots if the WiFi is currently turned on. In other words, while the WiFi is turned off, I have never seen it reboot.

I'd like to know if anyone else who has this problem could try the same thing.

If this is true, to me it says that it is not about the apps or microSD cards. It is purely about Samsung having mucked about with the WiFi driver, and got something wrong. Either faulty code, or it may be that they have raised the WiFi power to the point where the hardware is unstable.

For what its worth i found that if i had apps installed on my SD card the phone re-boots.....

Many apps seem to move to SD card when updated......I never realize until my phone begins to restart again...i then simply go into the settings--> applications --> manage applications --> on SD card and move to phone...

This has not solved my reboot issue however it does reduce the number of times it does reboot.....i get about 1 a week however if i update an app that moves to SD card without realizing it will reboot 2-3 times a day.
