Anybody else noticed that his/her N8010 Wifi is also showing a 'Samsung USB modem' in Device Manager?
I thought the Wifi model did not have any internal modem.. Maybe someone already did a teardown of the wifi model to confirm?
Just having a guess, but I think the N8010 is capable of USB tethering. That could be why it's being called a USB modem.

Could very well be, but the wifi model should not 'have a modem inside'. It could also be that they left this by accident in the kernel/rom and that there's no modem hardware.
I tried to 'test' the modem by device manager but it doesn't seem to respond. Seems a leftover so far, unless a teardown reveals otherwise.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to know if anyone encountered any Wi-Fi problem after updating to Lollipop ?
I own a N910H, I have a Toshiba stor. E Wireless adapter I use to connect to my hdd and access my files. When I was on kitkat firmware (N910HXXU1ANK5) it did work fine, also for my other phones or my laptop I can connect without any issue.
Since I updated to Lollipop it cannot connect to the adapter. The toshiba network shows up on the phone but when I type in the password it just won't connect. A tried a few firmwares: N910HXXU1BOC5, SweetRom with BOF1 and also flashed ank5 modem into SweetRom but still not working. I thought it could be modem not supporting the network, it is weird. And when I remove password encryption, it connects normally.
I wonder if it is a modem problem or like lollipop not supported by the device ? Or perhaps do Note 4 lollipop has Wi-Fi issues ?
Thank you everyone for helping.

did not have any problems when i updated from stock kitkat to stock lollipop. You could perhaps root and try some custom roms they have different kernel and modems, perhaps a fix for you.
Some times you have have to just 'forget password' and reconnect the wifi.

I did already, I did "forget password" / retype password so many times. Still cannot connect.
Tried a few roms and different modems. I'll try downloading another stock rom.

I forgot to mention I flashed back to kitkat and it worked. Then I flashed lollipop again and it stopped working.

Hi guys!
I had problems with my wifi and I found a solution online saying that I should delete these three folders:
/data/misc/wifi
/data/misc/dhcp
/etc/wifi
I done that and now the phone's WiFi cannot be switched on anymore (WiFi switch stays gray and cannot be turned on).
Is there anything I can do other than a factory reset or flashing phone?
Can anyone zip up those 3 folders and post them here?
Thanks !
Phone info:
Model: Note 4 N910C
Android version: 5.1.1
Phone is rooted.
Can someone please post these folders?

Do you have any custom recovery (CWM,TWRP,etc) ?
Don`t you have any backup (Nandroid) ?
If so , then restore the back up through the recovery.
If , not , then I think you`ve to flash stock firmware through Odin (at your own risk).
I have the same problem but i didnt deleted any folder. Just stopped working and i cant switch on wifi. Weird is that today when i was browsing google play from 4g data plan the window with wireless networks appeared and i was able to connect a wireless network. After 10 second was off again and the switch button is grey again. I am on stock 6.0.1 and not rooted. I think is a hardware problem probably the wifi+bt chip has some unsoldered pad to motherboard.

I don't think it is hardware problem. Restart and fully charge your phone and try to turn on wifi. Maybe you have some application (battery saver and similar) that prevent you to turn on wifi.

I'd take it into a Samsung Service Center and let them have a look at it. As there is obviously nothing you can do to repair the problem yourself.

I will try to repair it tonight by myself because i dont have guarantee anymore. I will post here the result maybe we can repair this error.
i tried last night . I heated the wifi chip until i was able to move it slowly and the let it cool. Surprise after reasembly wifi was working ok all night and today at work i saw the same problem .
I think we must change the wifi chip but i cannot find it to buy... Any help ? Anyone knows an app or something similar to see if the chip is detected by motherboard? I think it must be detected if the mac adress of the wifi board is displayed...
i have a problem with my galaxy S4 i9500
for a long time now when ever i connect the phone to the pc, it just charges the phone and doesnt detect the sd of the phone so i cant transfer stuff from pc to the phone
in my previous rom (5.0) i could dial up *#0808* and an option popped up to change it to MTP and it would work.
but i changed my rom 2 days ago(to a 6.0) and i cant evel dial up that number anymore.
i downloaded drivers, keis, everything and still it only charges my phone.
what can i do to fix it ?
You tried different USB cables and USB ports?

im using the same cable as i used before i changed the rom, and it worked fine before
so i dont think its a cable/port problem
I find some versions of the s4 to be very picky about cables. Even the wrong kernel or rom can cause problems with charging.

I would try other USB cables and ports first. It's also possible that the USB port is damaged.

already tried that, and as i said before, this cable worked just fine before i switched a rom (with the dial *#0808* thing)
help please
I use optimised cm13 and using the same cable/drivers that worked on stock 5.01 i cant get it to work after many hours of switching to MTP in the USB pulldown or Developer Settings, reg edits and every other crazy theory out there
I gave up and use a Wifi FTP app
Your other choice, and what i sometimes use if im not around wifi, is booting to recovery and using the cable, i can access the internal and external sdcard via TWRP just fine...
CM13 seems to be the issue
Changing cables etc is malarkey
I find transferring files via cables burdensome. Perhaps try installing ShareViaHTTP or an FTP client (lots of free ones on F-droid) to transfer files.
If you've tried multiple cables and ports, maybe revert to the old ROM version, or report the issue to the devs and wait for an update.

It's a ROM problem i think.
Greetings, today I installed the new nougat 7.1 rom for my jiayu s3 [MT6752]. But I couldnt connect via wi-fi, and no networks appeard to connect to.
So, I switched back to the older rom I had installed (AICP11 - mm) and the problem persists. Imei is fine and I can connect via mobile data, but wi-fi keeps searching and searching without results.
Does anyone know what is this about?
All the help is appreciated
Thanks in advance
I am not sure about it, but I think I have read somewhere for that problem. Other users re-installed Rc4, and some other used another modem from the thread that it is about modems. Check it out.
JiaYu S3, Nougat 7.1
Well, it looks like its software related so what I'm going to say may sound out of point, but anyway, you can check the physical connections of the wifi antenna (you will have to unscrew the phone).
Hi I only really use my S4 i9505 as a wifi hotspot. I am using lineage 16 and wanted to enable 5ghz wifi hotspot for a better connection for my Android TV box, it doesn't have strong wifi. I've tried stock rom and lineage 13,14,15 and 16 but none work. Does anyone know latest version of android that 5ghz wifi works? If you could share a link to a rom that it works that would be great. Thanks.
The fact you are having issues even on the stock ROM means this isn't something changing versions of Android can fix. This may well be a limitation of the WiFi radio hardware itself, or there is an issue with the hardware. You can try flashing modem files in Odin and see if things improve, but I doubt it will help.
Yes I might try flash modem files with Odin but I need someone to confirm that this device even supports 5ghz hotspot. There is no option in stock rom to choose 5ghz in hotspot settings. If someone can confirm it working with there Galaxy S4 I will try flashing modem with Odin.
The S4 supports 5GHz hotspots. When configuring the hotspot, accessing the advanced options (menu at upper right) in the hotspot config screen should reveal a setting for 2.4 or 5GHz. If you've set that to 5GHz and it still doesn't help, then you're encountering interference from another WiFi source. Flashing a modem likely will not help; you'd have to move away from the source of the interference.
If you don't have the setting at all then you're limited to 2.4GHz.

first thing to establish is does 5ghz wifi work?
are you able to connect from your S4 to a 5ghz access point?
If that works then you do not need to change modem files.
It connects to a 5ghz wifi hotspot I started with my Mipad 4. Mipad only has wifi that's why it says no internet connection. I don't think the S4 is capable of starting a 5ghz hotspot even know it can connect to them. I've tried few stock custom Roms but they don't have a setting for 5ghz hotspot only advanced settings is choose channel 1 to 11 channels. Tried lineage 12,13,14,15 and 16, reserection Remix Android 7.1. All have setting for 5ghz hotspot but starting hotspot returns error.
