I recently rooted my Galaxy S2 and put in the Caulkin's Custom ROM. The baseband I have is EK02 and the Kernel Version is EL29. My Wifi connection keeps on dropping.
Can anybody help me on this?
You could always try to flash your modem to EL29 ... It seems better on battery and more stable in my opinion.
You mean to upgrade my baseband from EK02 to EL29 right?
wifi keeps dropping
my galaxy s2 have the same problem.. and everytime i have to toggle wifi and it will connect again..
i have the same experience with stock.. and calkulin's rom... and various different kernel / modem
i am now on EL26.. and it's the same..
your wifi will just continue to drop..
it's so annoying that i am contemplating to switch to a different phone..

Make sure the sleep policy is set to NEVER.
And also, alot of people, including myself, had horrible battery drain with EL26 and EL29. I flashed the Ek02 modem and EL13 kernel, and my battery life is back to being awesome.
I got it resolved. Once I upgraded it to EL29 the problem seems to be gone. Now my wifi seems to be stable. The sleep policy is set to never. I am going to test with the EL29 and see how my battery life is. If it is bad then as per your suggestion I will revert to EK02 and EL13.
In the future, is it also a good idea to reprovision the phone after switching things like modems. That will give everything a fresh start. For those who are unsure the Toolkit link in my signature had instructions for the Hand Free Reset (reprovision) process.

Mijjah74 has a real nice ice cream sandwich ROM.
Or Strongsteve's odexed awesome blue themed ROM which is gingerbread based.
I ran with Strong's for the longest time as a daily driver and loved it but currently fell trap to the ICS hype....both of those Dev's are awesome and update regularly.

Starburst is quite old, it hasn't been updated in a while. The same developer, however, has released a second ROM called Blazer ROM. In my opinion Blazer Rom is the best ROM for this phone at the moment. Incredible batter life, butter smooth performance, ICS theme, and Hotspot hack. It really is the whole package, I suggest you try it out.
Here is how you install it:

In genereal, if you are not sure about something, or need step by step instructions on flashing something, QBKing77, on YouTube, is your man. He does a lot of reviews and tutorials on the latest ROMs.
Congratulations on your E4GT, best phone on the market.

hotspot not working correctly
Anyone one know why my hotspot will D/C after about 5 min? Everything connects perfectly and lets me surf and I can log into xbox live but after a few minutes it just turns off. I made sure that the connection time out is set to never time out. I was also using sqlite editor to check system databases to see if there was a sleep mode but i don't see anything. I never had this problem until it seems like i flashed calkulin's ics rom. Ive also formatted and re installed his rom and re-installed the apk several times but nothing has changed. I'm going to try the wifi tether apk but I am having problems trying to get the phone to send the internet to my comp.
Starburst does have the hack and works great. It was my favorite gb rom.

Check to see if you have wifi sleep policy is turned to always on. Sounds like screen turning off is shutting off wifi or task killer is killing the hotspot app.

I am a newbie here so please be understanding.
I am using Calkulins Stock Rooted FC14 ROM on my SPH-D710 and am trying to get the Sprint Hotspot to work. Can someone direct me to a tutorial on how what to download and how to enable it. I am not running CWM anymore because calkuins format all zip zapped it.
Hugh shout out to QBKing77 and Calkulins. The ROM is awesome and could not have done it without the QBKing77 vids.
Everyone out there, Thank You so much and keep on truckin'. I will donate as much as I can, that is the least a newbie like me can do to help out. No clue how any of the stuff works, but I am learning.
The Sprint Hotspot should be in your app drawer. However, it is the real version, not the hacked version. So, if you don't have the extra plan with Sprint it won't work. The hacked version that the devs put in their non-stock ROMs bypass the Sprint authentication process. Once you start up the hotspot program, it's pretty self explanatory.
I've read quite a few posts mentioning this but haven't seen any solutions. I'm running Phantom Blazer's ICS ROM with AGAT's newest kernel. Are all ICS ROMs facing this problem or this is specific to Phantom's ROM? If there isn't a solution to this I'll need to go back to GB, I've missed some important emails from work due to this problem.
how did you flash to blazers rom? Did you do a full wipe or no data, I've been seeing a lot of posts about ics bugs where the poster tried to do a nodata flash, this is known to cause lots of wide ranging issues... personally I'm currently on mijjazs goodness but run aokp and cm9 regularly as well, I've not had any issues with wifi disconnecting, and believe me I would notice, I use wifi for most everything as sprint data is mostly unuseable in my area
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Well, one possible solution for now may be to try another wireless router if you have one. I don't know the root cause of this problem, but I do know I had horrible disconnect issues at my girlfriends house after updating (to stock rooted FF18), but no issues at mine. She has a Netgear router, I have an Airport Extreme. they both relatively new. I brought my previous Airport Extreme to her house and set it up. Now I no longer have disconnects at her place either. This doesn't fix whatever is wrong with the phone, but it works...
I have tried all the roms every 1 of them! with a fresh install and wipe everything and wifi disconnects on every 1 of them
I.also did a fresh install using caulkalin's format all zip. My router is an older linksys. Never had any Wi-Fi issues with it on my galaxy s1(fascinate). Anyone know of any developers here have taken a look at what might be causing this?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
it definitely has something to do with the rom, when I am on e l 29 my phone never disconnects, when I flash any I c s rom, I get random disconnects.
Its ff18 TW....I used aokp and now cm9 but didn't have this issue. I did flash quite a few roms besides these and it always happened on tw based roms only.

You can also try cm9...chris41g built a kernel for it where you can now control the governor and processor. Battery life has been awesome, plus no wifi issues. Too bad the kernel doesn't work on aokp yet.

Nobody really answered your question as to whether this was a 'known' ics issue. And I'm not going to suggest that you 'buy a new router just in case'. What I will tell you is that I have the same problem, but unfortunatley I'm on the same ROM as you, so I can't rule that out. But there's definitely an issue and it is definitely associated with ICS; would be interested in what non-Blazer folks are seeing.
I've been on AOKP for a full day now. Still no problems with Wi-Fi and I may have spoken too soon about the battery. I'm at 12 hours at 56% with 3 hours screen time which is a lot better than I got on my s1. I love all the options on this rom too. Loving having my 4 way lock screen back.

In case you're still seeing this problem - I switched to Blend ICS FF18 / Goodness 16.6 and the wi-fi problem would seem to have disappeared. I suspect the issue is/was somewhere in the Blazer ROM. I'd ask if the dev was working on it, but probably get flamed; that ROM hasn't been updated in a while anyway, so you might want to try Blend anyway.
I am having the same issues. My Wifi goes up and down every 5 seconds which kills my battery. Mine started on stock phone on GB 2 weeks ago on EL29 (phone was not modified or rooted). I was hoping rooting and flashing to CM9 would fix it. It has not, I have tried multiple modems as well. Any suggestions?
I have a 4 month old NetGear router. All other Wifi devices in the house are working fine.
Its probably just kernel related or router issue, been running blu kuban ics which is touchwiz based and never had a wifi issue. The kernel is sourced build by rujeluss22 with it's own modified recovery based on agat's recovery. Try it out, you guys might like it.

So you think it's the modem? Is the modem even responsible for WiFi? I though it was responsible for cell connection only

Try OC EL29, you'll get no bugs, and a better battery life than on ICS.
Still had trouble with ics and el 29. I tried just running GB but that message never goes away. Its always trying to download and killing my battery and connection. I never had this niche trouble with my evo 4g
There's an unrooted trick that is said to kill the update notification.

The devs did a great job with the ROMs but its not the same like gingerbread since Samsung and sprint screwed our ICS, every custom ROM I tryed still has that nasty super fast scroll, it has that glitchy freezing up a bit also when scrolling. OP if you want ICS you will need to get on an aosp ROM or cm9 and aokp that's the closest and smoothness of ICS you will get or you could just roll back to gingerbread.
Another thing is there's a lot of folks that would claim how smooth these ICS custom ROMs are but in reality it isn't its either you guys are blind or your just to into and to used to ICS that it blended in you guys soul.every time I roll back to gingerbread I see a huge difference in smoothness and butter heck even these jellybean aosp and cm10 ROMs are way smoother then the ICS that Samsung and sprint gave us.

One piece of advice: Go get sfhub's stock ek02 or eg30 auto package. Start from the beginning and go back and flash an ICS ROM. That usually fixes any bugs. :good:
I don't know about the other ICS ROMs but I have tried CM9 and Blu Kuban and they come as close to perfection as we could've gotten without source kernel. Haven't fully tried ICS since just because I prefer the better battery life of GB though.
I'm on cm10 and the battery is much better than anything I got in ICS, and I've tried half the ROMs out there. Blue kuban, codename, cm9, aokp, etc. The cm10 ROM is freaking amazing. Honestly, try it. You won't regret it

Look, if you are doing everything right as you say, and are having problems that are making your phone "hell," the problem is likely your device itself. I have personally never had issues with any ICS builds, from the leaks, to the OTAs, to CM9. And the latest FH23 leak gives me excellent battery life. Unfortunately, since you didn't give any more information to go on than the fact that you phone has been hell, I have no further advice to give you then to get your phone replaced. Again, I have had no issues with ICS. Running much smoother than GB.

First thing, have you updated profile and PRL? If so, have you tried using the ODIN one-click to go back to EL29 ROM, kernel, and modem? Let's start there. If you are having no issues using EL29 as I suggested, we can further explore this being an ICS-related issue. Otherwise, it could very well be Sprint. If that works fine, use ODIN to install the latest FH23 leaked ROM, kernel, and modem. Forget flashing through recovery for now, and only use the one-clicks that erase user data. Also, do you have these issues everywhere you go, or is this localized to a particular area? To put it simply, for 2 phones to be having an identical problem (given a device that is not really known for having problems) is very strange, which leads me to blame Sprint in your particular area. But if you say that you did not have these issues on GB, let's explore that further. ODIN EL29 and report back.
Hello there peeps I need some help figuring this out. I I don't own this device I am just updating it for a friend who is stuck on gb..

I'm running Kobridge's FI25 ROM. It's pretty stock-ish, fluid and overall great. Battery is nice as well. I'd give that a look and try.
Just go to settings and about phone and update firmware or android. The latest official ics build is fh13 so if he is on gb you will have to update to ff18 then fh13 or you can download a one click and use Odin to update. Depends if you want it rooted or not. If he is rooted now and has removed stock apps you will have to use a bone click option or revert back to stock first. You can look up qbking77 on YouTube and every custom rom he pretty much has a video for along with how to get the stock ota updates. To get the stock ics look after updating to the ics build go to Sprint id to change to the stock look or download a launcher like nova launcher or apex or whatever you prefer. If you want a stock ics rom with root you would want an aosp rom like cyanogenmod beta 1. Go to the original development thread.

I have had no issues at all with the ics ota updates but a lot of people have claimed issues. I did a factory reset and wiped cache after the updates and never had issues with battery or blue tooth or whatever else people complain about. I would say let her try ics for a week and see for herself. You can always go back to gb if she doesn't like it. I love cm9 beta 1 I just have some data issues sometimes but it's still being developed so I'm sure the minor issues the rom has are being worked on as we speak. There is also tons of leaks for ics the latest released leak is fi25. And I think it's supposed to be the last leak for ics until jelly bean is leaked.

FH13 the best so far.
Check this thread [Oficial OTA Repository] . I post all official OTA links. Download them all in order them copy paste them in SD card. Go to recovery and flash them in the right order.
Note: You must be pure stock and use stock recovery.
Instructions just in case:
1. You don't need to rename zip.
2. Copy to SD Card not Internal.
3. You most be full stock. (no root, no custom kernel etc.) these are official OTA zips directly from Google servers.

I'm guessing no love because this phone still doesn't have a proper running vanilla ICS or JB experience for it. I understand where he's coming from. With the Nexus S 4G I had, obviously a Google phone, they'd have various ICS and JB roms running smoothly. But for this device, Samsung/Sprint is holding it back from its potential.
I just can't say enough good things about Re-Calked ROM. Battery life and smoothness are top notch and there are tons of mods for theming purposes, including a transparent status bar mod.
Offically, FH13 is the way to go.
Leak-wise I think I'm going to try this combo next:
FI03 ROM
FI03 Repacked Kernel
FI25 Modem
...and see what happens. Love the signal on FI25 but hate that so many other features were either removed or changed. Also hate Connection Optimizer on FI03 but I can just leave it off.

Atrue we are a little bit behind and they treat us like step children, I'll give you that.... but have you not met the devs around here?
I think the dev and user support shown in E4gt's slice of paradise far outweighs official support at arms length
( and I've tried three jb builds, all of them daily-able)
I do see your point though.. a little official love couldn't hurt.
What I meant by no love is that ics is something I've been running so smooth since my HTC Sensation. The epic 4G touch has the same processor as the gti9100 yet I feel like sprint or Samsung is holding back. All the s2s I see are on gingerbread with people complaining about bugs and issues in official builds I find that unacceptable. But I don't have this device so idk how bad it is. I had a great ics experience both Sammy and aosp on international s2. The sprint variant seems like a killer device that just needs killer software to go with It.
Ps. thanks for everyone's input.. Putbuee on the latest ics leak odexed version with matching kernel and modem and the phone is flying!

Offically, FH13 is the way to go.
Leak-wise I think I'm going to try this combo next:
FI03 ROM
FI03 Repacked Kernel
FI25 Modem
...and see what happens. Love the signal on FI25 but hate that so many other features were either removed or changed. Also hate Connection Optimizer on FI03 but I can just leave it off.

What garwynn says is correct.
My g/f likes to stay on official releases, so she's on FH13. It was a HUGE improvement over the piece of crap that was FF18, so I would recommend that one.
Myself, I'm using stock rooted FI03 with stock FI03 kernel and FI03 modem. I'm pretty happy with this setup, and I probably won't be jumping to another ROM until JB is more stabilized.

Why do people make statements like that? " Huge piece of ..."etc blah..?
I used several ff18 builds with zero issues .. my woman's been on it for 2 months with zero issues as well.
So it was bad how exactly?
Not trying to be an ass . I've just never understood these blanket statements about an entire build being bad vs the possibility of one flash being bad...
Edit: for clarity, I'm not saying i dislike fh or fi builds either... I'm just saying I havent had a major issue with any build since fc27(I think)
I'm using stock rooted FI25 with the Agat 5.4 kernel and the Pegasusq governor. Works great for me! There are a lot of great custom ROMs out with CM9 being one of my favs but the bugs make me stick with stock.
