Something not right and a re-install of your firmware with Odin is what I would do.

Seems to be a link to your network, so remove your sim card and battery.

The S2 has been a pretty reliable phone, and the problems you are getting could be related to a hardware problem or the Orange firmware on your phone.
If hardware problem, then it does look like a...
That seems to be the clue to your problem.

A proper teaser, Teasy :)

Replace and reboot.
If that doesn't work then a factory reset will.
Backup your data with Kies or your preferred app.
Go into...
