im having problems with my 3g on my phone its a samsung galaxy s 2 gt i9100 and version 2.3.3
it keeps turning on and of randomly for no reason some times it just goes of and other times it actually deactivates itself. ive removed juice defender which i thought was the cause but its still switching on and of randomly somtimes it will last for a hour or so other times it wil go on and of every 5 mins.
sometimes i can simply switch the data mode on and of and that works but most times i have to reboot the phone and everytime i reboot it the internet is back on.
what could be causing this its driving me made as i use my phone as a router most of the time. i know its not the network im on because it happens in every country i go to on a new sim.
is there a simple solution is it a android fault or samsung fault?
anyone have a solution to this as i really like my samsung phone but this problem is really annoying.

anybody else get this problem with a samsung or android phone ?
I don't own a 9100 but a 9001 (SGS Plus). The 2.3.3 firmware for my device gave me the exact same issue. I solved it by updating to 2.3.6. But you would need to ask someone who is more familiar with the S2 which ROM ist best as I don't know those.

thanks for the reply now how easy is it to update the phone it says there is no update avalibile when i try to check for updates.
How easy is it to do this rom thing and flashing id need a step by step guide id rather just be able to update it with the click of one button.
i assume you havn't rooted/flashed before? if not, either get into a decent wifi area and update your phone through the settings (that worked for my friends galaxy ace) or see if theres an update through samsungs own software "Kies"
personally i think the 3g issue seems to fall on samsungs side of things but i could be wrong,
no i havent rooted or flashed before. When i try to update in the phone info check for updates it says there is none im currently in the uae is the update done by the network or by samsung. Ive never used kies either. Ill have a look at it i thought kies was just another form of wifi.

Apparently they released the JH2 again but including a SPL fix, so people already on JH2 will need to flash back to JG8 or something, then flash forward to JH2 again to get the new SPL fix
I got JH2 the other day. Yesterday my phone was going retarded, freezing and losing signal when it never had before. Seemed ok last night and today though I haven't spent much time with it today.
GPS was totally out of whack last night, sitting still and my location was jumping all over the place. Google navigation is unusable. Checked compass in GPS essentials and it was fine but in nav it just spins around and can't get it right.
Youtube widget changed. Now shows most viewed on the main bar but video and search buttons are not functioning properly. Right now it only shows the search button. If I search or launch youtube then go back the video button will be there but neither thet nor the search button will work. Wish I had just left it alone.
did you get the update with the spl fix?
and was your 3 button mode working for you before?
if not does it work with the new update?
lol so many questions... and thanks for the replies and the update on the firmware.
Just update dude. Everyone is experiencing various issues regardless of the firmware. I run 3 to 4 times a week using endomondo and the GPS tracks my route almost flawlessly. A few hitches here and there but nothing horrible.
My 3 button combo wasn't working at all and I was already on JH2. Had to do the registry trick to get Kies to flash the new JH2 on my phone and now it works. Upgrading to the new JH2 is the best choice to make, especially if you have plans on using a few mods.
I highly recommend the battery mod available on this forum after you upgrade. The SGS stock battery indicator is horrible and inaccurate, and I rather not waste my homescreen space on a battery widget.
Ya, did the update a few days ago. Three buttons work now and my gps doesnt think im in japan anymore (ya it was that bad) anyway definitely worth the update.

My 3 button mode worked before the update, I haven't tried it since. I haven't rooted and not sure yet if I will, will see how official 2.2 goes first.
Still losing signal though. Yesterday the girlfriend tried to call me and said she either got a busy signal (WTF) or it just went straight to voicemail.
Today I tried to make a call and had to redial two or three times because it kept losing signal. Def a problem with the phone and not anything to do with reception in my area. Only phone calls though, never lose signal when using data or market ect.
Guys, I'm a bit dense on this subject so please be kind.
I have JH2 on my Galaxy. I can't remember if I updated to this version via Kies.
So far, the 3-button recovery problem has not affected me. I haven't rooted Android (since I don't need SU rights), I haven't yet unlocked the phone (no need) and I haven't attempted any Android system updates. I guess I could be called an average user. I haven't tested the 3-button issue.
What circumstances could arise down the road, which would make it necessary for me to do a 3-button recovery? In other words, is this a problem which could affect all Galaxy owners?
Thanks.

I updated to JH2 prior to the SPL fix inclusion and found it to be better than JG9...smoother and less lag issues. Just make sure to backup everything.
My phone is still on jg9. It never had the three button issue it always worked for me. If I upgrade to jh2 how will this affect me?

I havent been able to update to JH2 from JG9 (trying to use kies but thats a prize in itself) but I have in the past gotten where I would try to call, and as the call dropped while still dialing it would tell me the radio is off. Or it would tell me im in airplane mode etc.
Now for the last 24 hrs I have yet to be able to make a call, although datta and texting works perfectly fine, every time I make a call it says my radio is off. And the same problem when someone calls, they are lucky if they get a fast busy signal.
Im talking with bell to get a replacement in store, if not I have a 'insurance' plan that'll give me a loaner etc while they ship it out.
Any update on whether your phone is still dropping into Flight mode?
Hi all!
I've got two problems with my tab which frustrate me to no end at times.
1) sometimes the data connection disconnects, and is never able to connect back. I am still able to make calls, but just cannot surf the internet. I'll usually need to restart the tab a couple of times before it stabilizes. Note that the data disconnects in an area that has a good signal strength, so i kinda doubt its the network.
2) sometimes the tab just goes into a black screen and freezes. I'll need to press and hold the power button and the phone restarts after a few attempts.
I'm using the stock rom. Version 2.2, kernel is 2.6.32.9 and build is froyo.dvjj3.
Anybody have any idea why ther are these problems?
Thanks!
I would check the modem list and see if there is an updated modem that you can flash using heimdall You can find the list for your flavor of tab at this XDA link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069727
You said you using the stock rom. Did you root your tab?
Since its stock rom, how about you check update it through kies.
If you got lucky, there is GB rom around the corner, but depend on your region as well.
Update it and maybe your problem will go away
If still not succed, try hard reset your tab. If the problem still occur, I personally think you had a hardware problem for sure.
No i didn't root the device. Kept it as it is from the box. Ok i'll try checking for any updates through kies. Will check for the modem filed too!
Thanks a lot for the help!
Hi, I have read through every search thread on the galaxy mini in this forum but no luck finding something similar
I get odd disconnections from WIFI. If I tell the WIFI to never sleep, the connection is solid and never drops.
However if I have it on the default "WIFI sleep when screen turns off" (for better battery life) then randomly when I bring the phone out of sleep to use it, the WIFI does not reconnect. (The WIFI at this stage is not "scanning" or trying to reconnect it is simply "disconnected")
It reconnects fine some of the time but other times it will not have the WIFI reception bar and there will be no internet access through my router. I have to manually turn the WIFI off and on again for it to re-establish a connection. **
Any ideas why this might be happening?
I have tried this on 2 different routers with the same results
3G is completely disabled
Phone is completely stock, and I have tried a factory reset.
I have reduced lease time on my routers from "forever" to 10 hours
I have had this happen at the side of the router so it is not a range issue
Model number : GT-S5570
Android version : 2.3.5 - (Samsung updater on the phone tells me this is the latest version)
Provider : tescomobile.ie
Thanks

Is that update actually official? Everywhere I look regarding that gives me links to download from Hotfile.com, I am a bit wary upgrading from a non official source and I can't seem to find the update on the Samsung website. You don't have a link do you?
I am hesitant as the phone is only a month old and I don't want to do anything that will affect the warranty.
Thanks for the quick reply.
don't worry they are stock firmware provided by Samsung (not officially)
and they will work great

The official firmwares provided by Samsung (see sammobile.com) but flash it according to your region (for example I'm in Indonesia so I flash DXKPD) if u don't wanna void your warranty
Edit : or if u still hestitating, use KIES to upgrade your phone

Hey there!
I recently rooted my I900 (which I had never updated before) using SuperOneClick and everything worked just fine. Now I decided to update the firmware to 2.3.1 using Kies and it worked(my root is gone, but I knew that), but now I have run into a problem: I lose my wifi connection every 40-60 seconds or so, which makes online games or downloads impossible. The Wifi symbol dissappears for a few seconds and then returns, the internet works again instantly, but, as I said, any download or the like is cancelled. I tried getting a static IP adress and turning WLAN standby mode off, but to no avail. What seems to be the problem? What can I do? I would like to fix that without formatting anything, if that is possible.
Thank you very much in advance,
WittyWhiteFox

why not update it to 2.3.6 First, normally KIES will update to the latest for your region, so check here for your region or use webversion of Check Fus 2.0 ROM Downloader
Thanks for your answer.
In fact, I already have updated to 2.3.6(instead of 2.3.1), I made a stupid mistake there, sorry ' bout that.
But I managed to fix it, turns out my static IP configurations where somewhat off. I used a guide I found (but can't post here because I'm new) and now everything works just fine. So, yeah, my problem's solved, sorry for wasting your time. ^^
Close
So now you can close this thread.
So this actually happened about 3 months ago or 4
i was just using my phone to text a friend with messenger, when the WiFi suddenly turned off.
i restarted the phone hoping that would fix it but it didn't .
It is stuck on "turning the WiFi on"
i tried hard resetting the phone but it didn't fix it, tried flashing other roms, flashing stock roms even and taking a backup from my brother's phone ( we happen to both have a GT-I9000) and restoring it in my phone and it didn't help either .
I went to a repair shop to check the hardware and they said nothing seemed off.
So i'm really confused, i need a solution for this.
been using phone's data since then though.
and i'm currently using paranoidandroid 4.6-beta4
android version 4.4.4
and btw
in settings it shows that the wifi mac address is unavailable if that's means something
