[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiago.schumann:
Well, using siyah i never had the problem. But I really like speedmod kernel much more and had the wifi freezing bug all the time with it. Setting wifi frequency band to 2.4ghz on settings - wifi - advance seems to solve for me too.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcmagic:
installed the latest SiyahKernel v3.1.2 and the problem is gone.

I am on I9100XXLPQ. I had installed the CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5 but that didn't make a difference.

SiyahKernel fixed it . Just install over CF-ROOT with odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny_ftm:
So, it seems this never was fixed :-(

I also has the issue, XWLP7+CF_Root

Some have it, others no, stock, cf_root, Siyah and other kernels, there are reports of people having it

So, must be sammy issue on ICS.

Sad, this is really the worst issue I have: a reboot on turn on Wifi

PS: I confirm that keeping power button pressed avoids you taking off the battery: phone will reboot and wifi connects, until next hang up :-(

If any fix was found, please update

I know you will have all tried this but I was having the exact same problem. After updating to ICS I had problems with wifi but a factory reset on my router solved it.

Setting WiFi to 2.4GHz did not help, WiFi still freezes... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny_ftm:
Thanks for the feedback

Just by case, do you have a widget to toggle wifi or no?

Looking to see if people having the issue could be related to a widget?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flash05:
im on 2.4ghz, on this, i have rare occurrence but still happens.

i dont have wifi switch widget but only shortcut to settings,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcL.20:
Yep, that works
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny_ftm:
Thanks, confirms that all these solutions are placebo

Hope it gets fixed on some soon released kernel or rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flash05:
setting at 2.4ghz makes the bug occur rare. well in my case.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegeta1st:
Mate, does the battery last longer at 2.4ghz ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flash05:
im on stock dxlp7 non-rooted. im using it 8hrs wifi (combination of active and inactive/no transmission). at the same time im using 2000mAh samsung extended batt.

all i can say is that i last 36 hours. so im not sure how how to answer your question.

just going back to the topic. setting it at 2.4ghz makes the bug occur less or rare. im keeping the setting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Anderson:
I did a complete factory reset, internal SD wipe and then reflashed the stock ICS 4.03 LPS firmware. That was a week ago and I've not seen the wifi freeze since.

I believe the fault is some sort of conflict with the ICS update and some old GB files on the phone. A fresh firmware installation seems to solve the problem.

[EDIT] Damn. After a week of trouble-free running I got the freeze again last night. This is NOT the solution. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny_ftm:
Many here, include me did wipe, hard reset, install new rom, full manual reinstall, and still bugs

Well, for me now, only things I done since last saw the bug was remove the Toggle Widgets Pack

I change one thing at a time now and wait. Wifi stil on auto band selection

Near 3 days now without it, will be patient and feedback

Really strange are nothings seems to be common between people having the problem, except ICS
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denis_fdrv:
Also have this issue. As another temporary workaround: before turning on wifi, deactivate data network mode and wifi turns on fine. Hope this helps. Also hope for a proper hotfix.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Anderson:
Nope, sorry. Not a solution for me, phone data is off when I switch on wifi and still it freezes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny_ftm:
Don't know, but

I removed most old widgets not updated and replaced with new ones updated after ICS

I freezed most Samsung useless processes

Since then, the wifi issue no longer happens and also no more FC despite intensive use

Could be something related to memory. I would recommend uninstall of most widgets, remove useless memory processes and freeze sammy apps.

If I notice anymore FC/wifi issue, I'll post back here, but in all cases, things improved a lot (by the way, Wifi is still on Auto 2.4 / 5 GHz)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flash05:
this also seems to work

Hi guys,

The wifi problem is killing me, every day when I come back from work the phone is freezing when wifi is turned on. I run on official ICS 4.0.3 update via kies air. Exist a solution, ROM or workaround to fix it? I've tried all the advice from this topic but without success, every time need to reboot the phone it's frustrating for me.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manish.triveni:
Wifi started working again

I had the same wifi freezing issue in my galaxy S2 i9100..at first i simply cant turn on the wifi..i have tried all options mentioned here..finally i came to know the heat related issue that burned the register across wifi chip and bla bla..i have no wifi in my s2 for a month..last week i managed to dual boot my s2..surprisingly follwing things happened..

1.I can turn on the wifi only when battery level is below 10%..then it continues to work

2.Every morning i woke up it cant be turned on..and i tried to discharge the battery to below 10 % and then it connects..

3.Wifi only connects on Resurrection Remix ROM but not on Stock ICs which is my secondary Rom

4.If it is hardware issue..then why it connects now.

5.It connects and disconnects i use software like fix my wifi https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...lynx.fixmywifi

FXR wifi fix and rescue https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...1vcmVmaXhlciJd

Can someone helps me about this issue..why wifi connectivity is related to battery level and only connects to RR remix ROM??

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flash05:
this is fixed already on 4.0.4 official.

That is correct. Install any of the 4.0.4 and wifi toggle works smoothly like it should be.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sucro:
It's not true, runing ICS stock rom 4.0.4, and still same problem, at some people even with JB 4.1.2 - same problem, read bellow,

For some people this app helped,

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5icmlsbGlhcHBzLndpZmlhbmRtb3JlZml4ZXIiXQ..

i installed it, so we'll see.... I'm using ICS 4.0.4 last 3-4 months, never had problems with freezeing at activating WiFi, but at once before 1-2 days it started to freeze my phone when i enable WiFi... I don't know what could cause this problem, some people wrote updating many apps at once, or unistalling, or whatever, i have about 150-160 installed apps, so if number of apps is problem or some app, there can be reason in my case...

However bad bug my Samsung!

every time i try download a APK file it does it as a zip file how do i change it to apk i think this as something to do with Google chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
just rename the file .apk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
Or just click on the zip and extract the

.apk. Sometimes the apk is contained in the zip.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jb305:
How do you rename it? I went to download on my nexus there is no option to change the name
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BuddyJoe83:
in a file explorer, press and hold the file and select rename.

Rename the extension and you should be good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
Sometimes APKs are zipped in a folder. You have to extract the folder to get the APK
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Egoz3ntrum:
Chrome beta renames every apk into a zip. Two solutions:

1. Download your apk with the stock browser.

2. Download Astro file manager (o any other app like astro) to rename the zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
Yep, that's what I'm saying exactly. It's happened to me numerous times. I prefer root explorer to astro tbh but its just a matter of personal preference. Plus extracting the apk from the zip eliminates having to flash the zip in recovery to install the apk.

there is a way to fix them completely using JTAG but this way needs some hardware like ORT-Riff box and cables.

and as u can see i have total of 1000 blocks and we know our NAND has 576MB size.

so 576*1024=589824 KB and

and if we divide 589824 per 1000 ,results 589.8KB per block i think:D

after all my math is horrible :D
[HD2 General] hartleyshc:
Just saw the log. It's 0x1000 blocks, not 1000. It's hex. So like 16 to the 4th power plus some more. That's why you have block 3000 something be bad. But yeah, it's only a couple kB at that. It's probably what the 2kb at the top of the log is. I've only checked once and saw I had one block bad. I should have checked again and answered my own question. Thanks for posting your log though.
