I have a SGS II with Simplistic ICS RC7 and my main problem is that it doesn't seem to find the wifi hotspot created with connectify(software that shares your internet connection thru a wireless card) in my work (no router there).
Previousily i was on Miui 2.3.7 and it worked . Doesn't seem to be an ICS issue , more like a STOCK firmware issue, as my coleagues on stock 2.3.6 didn't find the hotspot eighter so i'm thinking it must be an modem driver issue or kernel. any help would be apreciated.
nobody knows????
I've no experience with connectify, but you could try changing out your kernel. Wifi drivers are in the kernel, I believe. Give Siyah a shot.
well the only custom kernell from siyah for ICS available right now is an alpha version. tested it. wifi still doesn't detect my hotspot.
Sorry, totally missed the part about you being on an ICS ROM.

Hey everyone,
I am new to these forums. I have an issue and I have searched everywhere for the solution.
I have a SGS2 and I rooted it with Lite'ning Rom v4.2.
I followed the instruction on this thread and my phone loaded the ROM successfully.
I have an issue, since I installed this rom my WiFi is not working.
Everytime I got to wifi settings, I see the available networks, however when trying to connect it just attempts to connect then disconnects.
I saw on this thread that another user had to flash the kernel to get his WiFi working.
I download the XXKG3 kernel for my S2 and flashed however still not working.
I am asking for some help with this as where I live I have no 3G reception so have to use Wifi in order to use internet on my S2.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm having problems in trying to do WiFi tether in my Xperia S. When i try to connect any device at my portable hotspot (at least i've tried with a Galaxy S3, Optimus 3D, Linux Notebook and Windows 7 Notebook), the device just cannot lock the IP address. It stays a bit in "Obtaining Ip Address", disconnects, tries to connect again, "Obtaining Ip Address", disconnect. Are any of you having issues like this?
Could we try to pinpoint the problem? It would be a custom kernel problem or a custom rom problem, a combination of custom kernel/stock rom problem and others? Maybe someone know somenthing that i dont, and it would be nice to have it documented here, so i created this topic to ask for your help in this issues! How can I solve it? Better, how can we solve it?
So above is the list of kernels and roms that i have tried and failed miserably in make my tether work:
Stock Rom Generic UK 6.1.A.0.453 with:
XSX Kernel 3.1
Advanced Stock ICS Kernel 11
The only mod i have at the phone is QuickPanel
i've been trying, using my self compiled kernel and stock ICS rom, nothing wrong with tethering, it just working fine...
Thanks for the test fajarep!
Here i got nothing!
Failed trying now:
- Flash LT26_6.1.A.0.452_Generic_CH_1257-3740_.ftf (read somewhere that generic/international firmwares have no restriction in tethering)
- Many tethering apps, rooted and non-rooted ones (max i got is a message of failure in setting ad-hoc)
-Adding a ",dun" at the end of my "APN Type" in Data-Management-mimimi-i-dont-remember-put-the-name-here-later-menu

hmmm.., I don't use Generic version, only using our SEA ICS version, it maybe doesn't have any problem with tethering stuff. So, I can't help anymore..
No problem with wifi tethering on stock ics and also on miui (both 2.7.20 and 2.7.27 with advanced stock kernel build 11). During the last two weeks I used it every day without any issues.

Next trying = MIUI 2.7.27
How is the battery life in comparison with stock?

Battery life is absolutely great in standby and just as the stock with the screen on. I have no complaints regarding the battery with miui.
In a quick test it seems that with MIUI i can tether. I will do further tests and report here
Glad to read that and to be somehow helpful!
Dear friends

actually my wifi have been unable to work in almost custom and official Roms .
indeed it works about in Resurrection Remix v2.5.3 even more Ive try every kernels and Roms such ::
all versions of Siyah kernel and Shun-Droidmax-Dream kernel ---and PFittech_ROM_v1.0.2_Sammy_ICS + VK--ICS-XWLPO-V5.2-Multi-Language_2 + cm-10-20120729-EXPERIMENTAL-i9100-CODEWORKX + 4.0.4 nordic country (LPX - LPO) + 4.0.4 LQ5

please help my phone.
Thank you
anyone cant help me??
oh my goooood!!!
anyone cannt help me>>>?????????????????????
oh my god ! please help my phone
Professors!!!!!!!! please help me ...:crying:
Hope your WIFI is working fine, please check with some other device to confirm the same. Also check if any of your friends mobile/SGS2 is working in your WIFI region. Also suggested to try Resurrection Remix V.2.7 ICS ROM with Dorimanx Kernal V.5.85 which is the good Combo as per user in that thread. You need to use latest ROM as they have better WIFI drivers.
You are saying 'turning on' that means your router is working and your internet connection may not be good. Do check your internet connection at your location or try your device at other location where they have working internet WIFI.

hi
my internernet connection worked because i test it with another devises
and my wifi working in some official roms it means that my network connection did work well.
Do you revise your wireless security? If it's WPA, WEP or those things, cause some of them don't able your phone to connect, in my case
i have new problem in my i9100 ..i am now in rootbox rom 4.2.2 last nightly with dorimanx kernal 9.16 and wifi work good but when i update new dorimanx kernal update over the old one the wifi not work ,at all kernal ..even stock one but when i remove my sim card wifi work with all kernals again sooo any help please
Read about it in the dorimanx thread, either development or support. The wifi drivers were recently changed for the kernel. If the recent kernels have wifi issues, then you'll have to stick with the old ones or change to a different kernel. The new drivers work for 80% of users, the other 20% are our of luck as your hardware is incompatible. Bad luck mate :/

I got this problem that wifi won't work. But didn't tried no sim cart input!
Anyway I found the solution. If the rom you are using has the wifi region code setting in wifi advanced option, set it to a country (I chose Australia) it will do the trick and your wifi will work! And any rom without wifi region code option you will have this wifi connectivity problem since dorimanx said he won't investigate to solve this issue.
thanks my friends i fix it by wifi fix manager apk and change my region automaticaly and work again ...thanks again
Hello, I have a problem with the wifi ap in all roms / kernels I've tried based on ICS & JB, I can not get internet connection for any device. I tried several kernels and roms and tried to connect different laptops, pc computers, etc ...
I have no problem with kernels and roms based on GB, so I guess it's no problem of mobile.
I currently use the lupus v7 kernel and the Hepta Erro 4.2.2 rom, all is working perfect except this.
If anyone has the same problem and was able to fix it, would be greatly appreciated to help me.
Greetings.

Thanks Alex, but it is not the same problem. My wifi works well, what does not work is the wifi hotspot or wifi ap.
I had the same problem as you say, and I solved it by installing the kernel v7 lupus. Then from the terminal I used some commands to restart the wifi, it was easy. Think i remember they were these:
/su
/lupus
After I chose the option "5 / Clean & resolve tweaks", then restart
Hope it helps!
