Help! Samsung Galaxy S2 Portable wifi hotspot configuration wont save

---

Hi all,

GT-I9100
version 2.3.5
Kernal I9100XWKJ2
GINGERBREAD.XWKI8

Just wondering I have the above phone, and ever since I bought it, I cant seem to configure my personal hotspot SSID and passcode, without it defaulting back to AndroidAP and default passcode
I enter in my desired SSID and passode, click save, and if I go to conect on laptop it will come up ok, but only that one time. If I literally go straight back into the configuration of wifi hotspot, it has defaulted back to AndroidAP
Very frustrating indeed!

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

wow so no one has seen this issue before?
BUMP

Yes my s2 won't save,either. i tried with root explorer and in try to change etc/wifi and data/misc/wifi folders to read/write but i can't

OK so its not just my phone. Anyone got a known solution to this problem? I just updated to a new firmware and still the same issue.

Galaxy S2 not saving Wifi Hotspot config?

Hi, I just had this issue on my new phone. Most frustrating having to re-enter details, then a mate said have you ever cold loaded the machine after it's first boot up after purchase?
Powered the SII right off & re-started and the config now saves perfectly!

The S2 came with 2.3.5 from factory and i was able to change the wifi hotspot name, but since i rooted i started to have this issue too, i also tried upgrading to 2.3.6 original firmware and no luck, anyone have an idea to solve this?

Regards

*FIXED*
Just rebooted the phone with CWM app in recovery mode and applied "fix permissions" from the advanced menu, rebooted normally and i was able to change my SSID and password without a problem!

Hope this works for other users too

It didn't work for me, I'm on 2.3.5 too

Has anyone at Vodafone got a solution to this? I updated to 2.3.5 and my phone will NOT save the SSID and password either.

Same issue for me, everytime I find a new generated password. I'm starting to think that is not a bug but is meant to work this way...

I Was having the same issue. Turned it off. Let it off for 5 min. Turn it on again. Now it saves my configuration.
