[Q] Weird reception dropping issue - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I'm having an issue with my S4 i9505. I loaded a custom ROM onto it and have an issue where the mobile signal would completely cut out 2-3 minutes after booting. After booting it works fine with full signal strength, can make calls and receive data etc. Then all of a sudden it will just drop off and not come back unless I reboot the phone. It seems like the radio just turns itself off. Everything else works fine on the phone.
I've tried flashing the stock ROM back on and tried a few different modem firmwares, wiping cache and data to no avail. Also tried a different SIM which has the same issue.
Any suggestions please?

I think my radio is fried. Please Help!

I have an 8125 that I put the new TNT (WinMo 6.1) on over a week ago. Everything worked great. After 7 days of working beautifully with no problems or dropped calls, suddenly my radio quit working, at times showing intermittent signal but never allowing a call or text to go out or in. Then my phone spontaneously restarted and began glitching out (things slowed down, Voice Command quit working, etc.).
I flashed back to T-Mobile 2.26 and everything stabilized, but the radio still didn't work and now consistently shows no signal. I tried flashing various radios, including T-Mobile 2.19 UK, with the same result. I flashed back to Button's ROM, down to IPL/SPL 1.01/1.01, and everything works still except for the radio.
Did TNT fry my radio? Has anyone experienced anything similar? I am relatively new at this and desperate for help.
After some more testing, it turns out that somehow my SIM card was the problem. I don't know if it was related to any of the ROMs I had flashed, or simply because the card was old. Anyway, problem solved. If a mod wants to delete this thread, I say go for it.

[Q] 3G Dropping out/ Triforce ROM

Hello, I am using Sprint S4 with Triforce rom updated to 3.1. I have used the Agat and Ktoonez kernels with same result. What happens is i will have 3g service (bars) but the 3G icon disappears and i dont have service. 30% of the time i can reboot the phone and get it back but other times i have to boot into TWRP and wipe cache and dalvik cache and it will work for a little while. I notice it happens more if i travel but also when not. I have ODIN back to scratch and put Triforce back on but same thing. I was also having random reboots but the Agat kernel seems to have fixed that.
thanks
I would also like to know the answer to this....I live in Tampa and have the Negalite ROM and I notice my 3g will just drop in my house and this never happened before with my 3Devo......
To add to this i have noticed when this issue occurs and if i go into a area with 4g that works fine. But once i leave the area and it switches back to 3g it drops again.
Try ##72786#, that will do a full network reset. It won't wipe data or anything. It will however reboot a couple of times.

Just tried that, will this prevent it in the future or only if it happens.

I had similar problem and it solved it for me for good, however my problem was a bit different. Hopefully it clears things up for you also.
That didnt work, i was on the way home this evening and checked and had full bars but could not call or send receive data/texts.

[Q] Data issue after root with PhilZ and SuperSU?

I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. Title related, it's how I rooted, and I've flashed some custom ROMs since then but it's happened before I did that as well as with every ROM I've flashed. I occasionally have an issue when conected to to 3G or 4G where my internet just won't load at all. Restarting the phone fixes the issue completely, but I'm left wondering if other data services such as call and text are also being affected during these times. I usually reboot my phone once or twice a day anyway, but I'm just wondering why this is happening, and if anyone else gets this issue, or knows a fix.
I'm having the same problem... I've wipe my while phone and put the same rom twice and it works in the beginning but after 2 days the problem starts again

My Galaxy 9505 sometimes stops making sounds, playing videos, doing calls...

My Samsung Galaxy S4 9505 recently started having some issues, first the sounds stopped playing, when I tried to play a music, it just skipped to the next one, then it stopped playing videos too and no sounds... I rebooted it and it worked again to just started having issues again but now it started having constant lag and freezes, the camera started crashing, and it then rebooted by itself, I flashed his rom again (albe 95) but it did not worked, the issues persisted, I tried a cyanogenmod one and a stock one and still no sounds... removing the sd card looked like fix the lag and freeze issues, but i still got no sound in it, sometimes when I wipe cache it works, sometimes not, sometimes just rebooting it fixes the problem temporarily, I dont know what to do anymore, could someone help me with it?
You need to try out the stock rom of your device (the latest one) and see if it works fine, did your phone fall?
It did fall sometimes in the past, but the problem started few weeks ago, and i am not sure if I flashed the right stock version of it, the previous owner used to flash roms a lot too, maybe there is some mismatch when I flashed Albe95 rom and modems, but I dont know how to figure out the right firmware...
Is the phone unlocked for use on any carrier? If so, any stock ROM will work, though for best results you should stick close to home. If the phone is not unlocked, what country and what carrier?
I think the phone is unlocked because I was able to make calls before, the problem started few weeks ago, but I dont know where the phone came from, maybe its from Spain like the previous owner said, maybe if I could manage to flash his original firmware the problems can be fixed, but i dont know what one...
I managed to fix the problem in some way, with the Phone INFO app I was able to locate the phone original carrier and country, found out its from VODAFONE from spain, with the ATL code, so I managed to download its lastert stock rom and flashed it, then I searched for its modem and wifi fix and flashed it too, defragmented the SD card and the problem seemed fixed, but then I restarted the phone and the problems came again... So I pickedup a screwdriver, opened it, and cleaned all its contacts with isopropyl alcohol, then I closed it again, when i turned it on, there was no sound issues anymore and no lag, but still was unable to do any calls, so I flashed a JDC AOSP Marshmallow rom and then everything was fixed, sometimes when i let the battery drain until the phone turns off, when I turn it on the sounds stop working, so I need to recharge it a bit, and restart again to it work.

Help needed: mobile data doesn't work anymore, but I can make calls and sms

My phone worked perfectly for an entire year, I even rooted and switched roms often, but now I'm facing this issue where my mobile data doesn't work anymore.
Tried switching rom but the issue is still there, done a clean flash and formatted cache etc etc, but the issue never goes away.
I tried changing sim but no result, used my sim in another phone and it works.
Do you have any idea what it might be?

Try to add APN(access point name) manually...see the carrier's apn settings from another device...
