Fix Regional Wi-Fi Problems On Android 4.0 ICS With WiFix [How To]

Apparently the Ice Cream Sandwich craze in the Android world has come with its own shares of small and minor issues. However, Wi-Fi connectivity, is not something minor and the lack of it can put a lot of eager ICS users in a spin. There are reports of people in certain countries having problems with Wi-Fi when they have their SIM cards inserted in their devices – not like that’s an option – and it doesn’t matter what make or model the device is. Luckily XDA-Developers forum member fardjad has recently released a solution that fixes this issue for a lot of people facing this issue.

So how do you fix it? Simple, the developer has compiled an app just for this purpose.
