same problem ovr here
my hero wont even detect any wifi hotspots
Hi I recently got my i9505 on EE in the UK and decided to update to the prerooted stock ME3 ROM here. I also flashed the EVR CSC via odin as 4G wasn't showing up. I thought all went well but I noticed a strange problem when using certain apps (Facebook, Instagram, a couple others that involve images it seems)
When using them on Wi-Fi, the connection timed out and I cannot browse/upload, however other apps such as browser/twitter/chrome all work fine? then if I disable Wi-Fi, *all* apps work fine over 4G/3G. I thought it would be a router problem so I tried another house and I still get the same issue so it must be the phone.
Since then I've flashed the stock EE version ME2 and MDD firmware back via odin, factory reset several times on different firmwares but I still get the same problem?
Any help would be much appreciated as I'm very confused! Thanks!

Yes, I tried this and also remove then reinstall apps
I also have an S3 on the same Wi-Fi network that works fine with these apps
Thanks for help
After a replacement phone was sent and still had the same issues, I did some more digging and found out the problem was my MTU settings on my broadband which were set at 1500. Although all other devices on my network were fine, the S4 didn't like it and when I reduced it worked fine!
I recently updated my Galaxy S4 (i9500) to Android 4.3 [MJ5] using Kies. The phone is completly stock and non-rooted. After the update, I'm unable to pull down notification bar. However, after I restart the device, it works well for some time and then again refuses to be pulled down.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem? I have lot of data on the device that will be difficult to restore and hence and donot want to format the phone. Any suggestions/solutions that might resolve the problem?
Also, after the 4.3 update, when I check for OTA, a popup shows saying "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." Pulling out and reinserting SD card didn't solve the issue.
Same problem. .. No solution yet.

I am going mentally insane trying to figure this out. I have refreshed and wiped my phone 5 times for the same issue, but to nothing good. The notification bar simply wouldn't want to respond.
What's getting to my nerves is that in one of my experiments with solving this issue, I kept my phone as stock with no third party apps, and still faced the issue. I kept knox uninstalled thinking that's what is causing the issue, but that's didn't help. I did lots of these kind of attempts, but to no avail. I'm concluding that is a serious Bug that Samsung is not going to address to soon. And we're simply screwed until.
Same problem.. DEAL BREAKER
I am facing the same problem after update to 4.3 Andrew this is a deal breaker if Samsung does not fix immediately. Thinking of rooting Andrew moving to cyanogen mod beta.. This is crazy. Nobody tested this for sure.
4.3 official update notification panel drop down problem
I have same problem with this update.can anybody solve this problem ?

Is your device status showing as "CUSTOM" or "ORIGINAL"?
figured out temporary solution
After a lot of playing around, I seem to know what's causing the problem. It's the Phone (Dialer) application that is creating an issue.
when the problem arises again, try making a call, and while the call is being placed, pull down the notification bar....It begins working.
obv I Ousby this is no permanent solution, but will help you from needing to restart.
If anyone with deeper knowledge can PLEASE look at what from the inside is causing it, and how can we make a permanent fix, much appreciated.
let me know if it works for you, the temp fix.

[/QUOTE=arpit88;46809031]Is your device status showing as "CUSTOM" or "ORIGINAL"?[/QUOTE]
Mine says official, for you, I'd suggesting finding the correct 4.3 version with the correct region for your i9500 / i9505, and redo the firmware. Download the firmware off Sammobile, and use Odin 1.85 whilst your phone is in download mode. If you don't know any of these terms used, Google it. It'll be helpful.
Basically, the notification bar problem and device modified problem are separate issues.
Did u install the indian firmware or the unknown one?
yes boys same issue here after 4.3 installed
also my notification bar when its stacked works when you try it on a call but its a temporary solution. mine is official also. anybody find a permanent solution? should we again root 4.3 on 4.3? I think it must be that the 4.3 was installed over 4.2.2 maybe if we make hard reset it will be fixed?
It's the Indian firmware, that I downloaded using Kies but still it started showing as "custom".
I took the phone to samsung care, they said Official 4.3 isn't released for s4 in India yet. Lolz. However, then one of there geeky employees reinstalled the 4.3 update and now my both issues have been fixed. Notification bar is now working perfectly fine and Device status is now Official.
official 4.3 also problem task bar
mine is official because in germany 4.3 is released on samsungs update and my phone is from germany. sould I take it to samsung service and they reinstalling again 4.3 is finally fixed?

I got an ota update xxuemj8 just now that seemingly has solved the problem. My test so far hasn't given complaints, but.let's see what's the situation in long term.
Indian version i9500 currently updated from xxuemj5 to xxuemj8
Should solve all your problems too if you refresh your phone with Odin. Meaning reinstall from fresh by downloading from sammobile and.installing.through Odin
UPDATE XXUEMJ8 doesnt help
Update: XXUEMJ8 doesnt solve any problem. The bug still exists, notification bar stops working.
Also, another issue is that under Settings > Battery, even if Wi-Fi is switched off, the wifi blue bar shows full all the time as if it were ON.
This confuses me to if this is only a software bug in displaying the battery status of settings where wifi is truly off, and it thinks it is on.
OR
Wifi remains on throughout, and switching it off in the software doesnt actually switch it off, eventually taking more battery.

Android 4.3 Update
I DEFINITELY AGREE with the earlier post by Kish0007. The bug is related to the PHONE (Dialer) App. The problem always occurs after receiving a phone call.
I changed from German Android 4.3 to Unknown Android 4.3 as posted on Sammobile hoping for the problem to disappear. But it did not !
Mich
The possible solution is to format your phone after installing 4.3 upgrade.
Goto Hard reset by pressing your Volume Key+Power key+Home Key......
Then goto Wipe data/Factory reset.........Don't worry your android Upgrade will not be reset, it will be as it is (4.3)....just it will format your data
and cache.
Do not forget to take backup of apps and your other data......!!
It worked for me & hope it will work for you as well........!!
I try format several times but problem still exist
update the firmware before format.
After upgrading your OS , please update the firmware from PDA:MJ5 to PDA:MJ8 also,
then try formatting.
Same problem after updating on my Samsung S4
Same problem after updating on my Samsung S4.
I have the Middle east version UAE. MJ5 build number currently.
i noticed the dialor was started this issue.
i hope there is a solution for this soon.
still issue after hard reset

I made hard reset on my phone and tha issue still exists. from samsung service they told me its possible the viber on 4.3 that makes the problem so I unistall it I made hard reset but I still have stacked tool bar sometimes after receiving or making calls but no so often.
notification bar problem
I updated my s4 i9500 to 4.3 indian ver. INU mj5 via kies and recently MJ8.. and same problem happening to me... notification bar would not pull down on call ends... calling again fixes the problem but thats kind of annoying every time for fix..... even transition animation scale resets on opening camera app.... then I thought to give a clean install via odin on same firmware from sammobile... ie. INU MJ8 21 oct build.... but this even did not solve the above problems. .. I also uninstalled viber thinking it might be the cause.... factory reset... cache wipe ... everything but to no avail.... any permanent fix would be appreciated. ...
Phone Settings
Guys,
Do you have the phone setting answer call using the power button selected ? Please, let me know. My notification bar never crashed today after I un-selected this option.
Thanks,
Mich
Hi all
Ive been playing around with some MM roms for my N9005 in the past few weeks but Ive decided to flash back to stock touchwiz.
I have an issue with the weather app, when it tries to find my location it fails every time. I've tried a factory reset, reflashing firmware, reflashing different firmware.
Should also be noted that my GPS works perfectly in apps like Maps and I get strong signals in GPS test, 3D fix in about 4 seconds.
If anyone had any suggestions I would be most grateful.
note 3 touchwiz weather wrong all time (accuweather) ...

Does it work now?
Hello,
A few days ago i update my phones ( i have two P8 lites in my family) to version B560. For this time i notice that Endomondo, Krec Kilometry, app from BikeMapa are closing with any notifiaction for about 1-2 h using. Maybe someone here use this apps and could confirm or not this issue. Im thinking about rollback to B170 - on this version i dont remeber to have problem like that.
Thanks for any suggestion in this subject
Regards.
Well .. enter to recovery and do a wipe factory/cache first. I don't have any problems with endomondo.
Maybe your software wasn't instaleld properly.
I made factory reset from recovery mode, install apps again. Endomodno and rest of apps work fine (about 90 km and 4h working) but only first time. Next time all apps was closed after 70km and 3h working - without any notification. Maybe android from time to time clean memory and closing apps?
That's not the problem.
You went from b170 directly to b560 or did you installed b550 first?
Directly from b170 to b560.
Try like this if you want: downgrade to b170, upgrade to b550, see if your apps work properly on b550,then update to b560.
