Hello people.
I have a problem on my GS4, everytime i want to use the GPS, it can't locate me at all, it says : "searching for GPS signal"
Everything is activated (GPS, Data, Wifi) as it should be.
When i boot my phone, it finds the signal, but it drops it like 5 minutes later and the only way to get it back is to reboot my phone.
Any idea how i can fix this ?
Thanks in advance :victory:

Well problem solved in two steps :
1st : i've tighten up all the screws as seen on this post (yes it was for the GS3 not the GS4 but it was worth a try)
2nd : i've used Faster Fix
And now it gets the signal stronger than ever :victory:
Thanks to both of you guys !

I have the same problem, Not 3g at all, only EDGE, even my APN is right and full signal in my town. All my problem begun after flashed my SGY, i lost my 3g. Nobody yet has the solution of this issue, i dont know what to do.
Upgrade !
Just flash your phone if really necessary but if u will just upgrade through Odin , I Suggest you updating firmware via Samsung Kies or OTA(Over-the-air) Upgrade in Settings>About phone>Software update(You will sign in for a Samsung account so if you do not have a Samsung account,Sign up first)
I Just flashed my phone through Odin because i downgraded my DXLA1 Firmware to my factory firmware "DXKK4" , But i didn't encounter any problems as my 3G Network is still working . For me flashing through Odin is Scary for me but if you will study what will you prepare before you flash , Then u will success flashing

Hi all
I just bought a new galaxy s4 since the first start the screen freeze and the device reboot it self, I didn't install any app on it, I didn't even finish configuring the device, I was able to finish first startup configuration after 15 time of freezing and rebooting on me at different steps or times, I did hard reset and I downloaded the latest software update, nothing seems to fix it
I'm sure it's a software issue since I tested it's hardware
can anyone help me with a possible solution to that problem ?!?!?!

did you try to wipe data and cache??
I'm pretty sure you both have a hardware issue. Freezing and rebootung sounds like probs with the CPU. As the problem where since first start, there sholdn't be a hindering getting it exchanged...
I agree. If it's happening straight out of the box send it back for replacement. Seems like hardware fault to me.

Yes I tried to wipe data and cache multiple times.
I bought it from a store 2 months ago and I don't think they offer warranty like Samsung stores. I will try to tell the seller that the phone has manufacturing defect and maybe he would replace it .

Same thing. This is a replacement for the first phone that suddenly died (didn't power on anymore). First one before it died, worked flawlessly. I didn't reboot it for weeks. This new one reboots 10 times a day on it own.

If u need any firmware pls:
1. Tell me model of phone (i9500, i9505)
2. If is branded or no to one phone company
3. Android 4.2.2 or 4.3
4. Where are u from?
If you get random reboots the phone freezes up without no reason and while booting the phone it hangs on the samsung logo get your Battery exchanged asap.
Samsung acknowledged to have shipped a bad series of batteries serial starting with BD
you can exchange them under waranty
other symptoms you can encounter is that the phone is rebooting during incomming calls/sms and a huge battery drain before reboot you are at 80% after you only have 20% or less left
you can also check if the battery is swells up.
replace this battery asap because it can explode and for your sake I hope this does not happen to you and especially when the phone is in one pf the pockets of your pants (have to be carefull for your childsupport )
goodluck
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my S4 i9505.
When I try to connect my phone on 3G or 4G, I have no data connection, I can't make call and nobody can call me.
In About phone > Status my network type is Unknow:0
If I force 2G only, no problem and earlier 3G/4G works well.
I try to flash stock firmware with Odin (HOME, Kernel, Recovery, Modem) but without success
My operator is Proximus (Belgium) and I'm in stock MGA.
Anybody can help me please ?

Hi man. People keeps telling you to install new modem, kernel etc...but i think you have corrupted EFS folder.
I hope you backup your EFS folder before flashing ANY rom because, otherwise you will have to go to some repair shop.
Well, I don't understand a lot, but I think you could check if you didn't lost your IMEI. Go on Settings > About Device > Status and check if your IMEI still there.
If it is, I don't know what could be. You could try flash another modem or restore a backup (if you have one) with PhilZ Touch but if it isn't, that means you lost your IMEI. I remember I read about that somewhere, that there is a risk of losing IMEI when you flash a lot of ROMs.
If you have backup from your IMEI, just restore it. If you don't, I don't know what you could do, but I guess you could still do something.
One more thing: Wi-Fi works?
Like I said, I don't understand a lot, so everything I just said may be very stupid. Or not. Sorry for bad english.

When I turn my phone on it goes into boot loop. I tried accessing TWRP but it's not good either, it would just show the startup screen and nothing will happen. I don't know how this happened because my phone was working perfectly last night before I slept. I didn't charge my phone so when I woke up the battery was drained. So I plugged in my charger and turn it on, it'll just go into boot loop just like what I said earlier. Please help. I have read that I should flash stock through Odin, but where can I find it? Please help. Thanks!

Thanks, I actually know that I have to go to that site to download the firmware, I just needed some confirmation haha! But this here is my real (stupid-ish) question, is it possible to recover/access my data? Will it be lost after flashing?
When my device was bricked a bit times... I flashed the firmware and all my data wasn't lost it just changed the system and did not delete any data... But make sure u only flash the firmware version that was present before u bricked your device....
MOST of the times it doesn't delete any data☺
