[Q] Wifi connection unstable after update to 2.3.1 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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,

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. ^^

[Q] Wi-fi Problem - ANNOYING!

Hi all, hope I'm not repeating a past thread.. But I updated my Galaxy S to 2.2 and now my wifi doesnt work. It worked perfectly up until a couple of days ago, after I factory reset the phone (2/3 weeks after updating), I have checked several times and my password is correct. I searched this issue up, and it appears I'm not the only one who has this annoying problem.
If any one could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it! Would love a nice easy fix, bit of a noob

Be brave and try another rom like darkys 8.1 if you dont like it you can always flash it back to stock with odin as long is your phone can get into download mode by press vol down+homekey+power button at same time if not theres a fix for that done it for my mate phone works like a treat, hes now rom happy lol
try http://192.168.100.1/ to get in then just clear logs
use to hack modems with Haxorware had 4 at 20meg going love virgin lol
Apparently Android is not behaving correctly with respect to DHCP lease times. Sometimes my Galaxy is unable to connect (it tries to connect, but immediately gets disconnected). I either solve it by turning WIFI off/on or of that doesn't help: a reboot of the phone. After a reboot I can always connect to my wireless network.
These DHCP issues can be worked around if you use static ip-configuration.

[Q] Problem with WiFi

Hi!
I have a really weird problem with my SGS.
When I'm installing ANY firmware (I've tried every single one) except of my original FW "JPB", I can't get my WiFi working.
There are actually 2 types of Wifi behavior on the different ROMs. The first one is when you're connecting to the Wifi and you can actually open Google.com, Android Market, etc, normally. But when it comes to a "heavy" sites such as youtube, wifi connection just freezes and nothing helps before you'll close the browser and reconnect to the access point.
On some other roms you're connecting to Wifi without any errors too, but you can't actually open any site at all. And only on FW "JPB" (which is russian official) there is no such a problem.
Also Samsung Apps doesn't work on other ROMs, I even thought that it can be related somehow... I know that there's no logic here, so I'm really confused.
Oh, and even if I'm installing Voodoo lagfix on my official firmware I'm still getting into this trouble
I really want to hear your opinion, so please don't hesitate to reply.
Thanks in advance,
Jay

[Q] WIFI connecting intermittently. HELP!!!

Hey Everyone
I recently installed XXJVB (2.3.3) onto my sgs and it works really well. my only issue is that the wifi connects sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. This happens at home often and is really annoying.
Does anyone else have this problem?
And does anyone know how to fix it?
Thank you for any reply's
I haven't experienced it.
First thing to try before you go any further.
Turn off everything that connects to your Wi-Fi router. Unplug the router from the power supply for a minute, then plug it back in. When it boots back up, see if the problem still persists.
Also, Have you tried a factory reset prior to or after flash?
had that issue when I played around and installed a cpu tool from the market: my wifi acted up same as yours. As far as I could deduce it was because the power/sleep settings were altered -- beyond my pay scale. Uninstalled the offending program and rebooted: the whole system was hickey and media scanning was an issue. So, did a recovery restore in cwm and all is well again.
Suspect the issue is the set up for power management. sleep policy and the other internal setting sin the kernal being out of phase with each other. Do a retore to the last stable system you had.
I have also leanred the value in doing a complete backup before I play with any new themes and mods: that way restore bails you out!
Did you notice that on version 2.3.3 wifi sensitivity worse that on previous version?
Using "Wifi analyzer" application I found that on Gingerbread kernel signal weaker then on 2.2.1 by about 10 db.
I've tried to use modem JPY (from 2.2.1) instead of native JVK but it didn't help.
It looks like somewhere there are wifi parameters that should be configured properly.
SOLVED
Thank you everyone for you input
@electrotune1200
Thanks for your idea's. The whole turning router off and on worked. i feel rather stupid cause i have to do that often so that i can get my laptop to connect, never even crossed my mind to try it for my phone lol.
Thanks again everyone

[Q] Wifi Disconnecting in Gingerbread

My wifi is constantly getting disconnected. I have to reconnect many times a day. This is really getting frustrating. It was working fine(very much FINE) on froyo 2.2.1 xxkb3 rooted and deodexed but after i updated to 2.3.4 gingerbread, this problem began! Is there someone who might be knowing what the problem is????
First i tried stock XXKPH, then i tried after CF root and after that i thought a custom ROM might help so i installed GanaROM but wifi is not working properly in any one of them. It is getting diconnected if i don't use it for like 5-10 minutes. And i have even turned the wifi sleep policy in the advanced wifi settings to NEVER. But still!!
USE CONNECTIFY v1.20

I have the problem like this. Can you try to ping 8.8.8.8 from console of your phone? I have almost 80% of lost packets. If you will see this, you have to change your WiFi router. I've tested my phone with 3 routers and only with Asus 520GU I can't use WiFi with GB (with Froyo all is perfect)

Yes, I have this problem and still don't have solution. That's why I'm at Froyo. I don't want to change my home WiFi router if I'm not sure that the phone will work with new one.

[Q] 3g keeps switching off

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.
