Don't disconnect the charger until you see the icon in your status bar that shows the battery has been charged completely. You have to let your battery drain completely - let the phone die on you from the lack of power.ģ. Let you battery drain completely - play some games if you want to speed it up, or just wait, but DON'T CHARGE when prompted. Turn the Wi-Fi off, then wait few minutes and turn it back on.Ģ. The problem definitely seems Wi-Fi related, but turning Wi-Fi alone is just a temporary fix.

I think I may've found a resolution to this problem. I just want to see first id this alone helps things.

I did not install any 3rd party app to control Wi-Fi yet (like suggested in the other thread). I disabled this feature now, so both options related to Wi-Fi sleep/power save are now off.

The thing is, I already had Wi-Fi sleep policy set to never, so that alone could not have been responsible.

They're identical, after all the updates I did (running 2.3.6 now, but not rooted yet). Just got 2 new Galaxy S 2 phones from T-Mobile over the weekend for me and my wife.
