Hi,
I have an issue with my GT-i9505 on XXUAMF8.
When i bougth the phone, nfc worked perfectly and i used it occasionally.
Now, after a few update (always stock rom), the nfc seem to not work anymore.
I have the option to activate it, all is ok and green, but there is no action when i use tags or other device like s4 for S-beam fonction.
I just have the last Faux kernel, some nfc application to write tags...
Don't know the source of the problem !
Thanks.
No idea ?
Do you use wireless charging now? Because it could block the antenna which is in the battery.
No, i don't have that.
Stock rooted or pure TW stock?
Heard something somewhere about custom ROMs (rooted) or kernels blocks NFC or something like that.

I just have custom kernel, custom recovery and root.
My dad have same phone, just rooted and his nfc works.
Try a different kernel. Perhaps the same one that your dad is using. If that doesn't work, try powering down and pulling the battery to reset the NFC circuit (located inside the battery).

I try to remove the battery, no effect...
My dad just have stock rom with cf-auto-root...
Then try the stock kernel. The custom kernel might be the problem.

Even with stock kernel i have the issue... maybe hardware problem ?
I don't know what else to suggest besides returning to 100% stock to rule out a hardware failure.
Perhaps try clearing data from the NFC Service app in the application manager?

I just have the same problem. NFC was working now not anymore
I think i'm gonna wait for a stable google edition 4.3 rom and do a full wipe...
Go to a service centre if you have warranty and they will do all the dirty work, figure out if it's hardware / software and fix it themselves, return to stock first.
I did a full wipe and nothing... Mybe the MF8 rom has issue with french s4...
When i put my phone and a Xperia Z back to back, my phone make the NFC sound so it's not a hardware problem ?!
No other idea ?

I'm on MF8 and I have no problem with NFC. (Stock kernel and pre-rooted MF8)
Ok so it's not related to the rom...
ive only heard of deodexed roms not being able to use nfc?

If I flash stock kitkat my Samsung keyboard won't work (force closes over and over).. I've no problems with any custom roms, on sweetrom now with no problem.. It's not a massive issue but it's annoying me! Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it?
P. S- installing SwiftKey etc isn't fixing it..

You may need to do a full wipe when you flash stock, it's possible something has corrupted somewhere along the line.
Yeah I've tried all the usual tricks, re - downloaded stock from several places with no luck.. It's baffling me..

Format all your data in system via CWM - then reinstall your ROM from scratch, it'll fix any coruption issues. ->>> Important >>> Make sure you make/get a PIT file for your device before you change anything in case you need to sort your partitions out for a reflash
I'll give it a try thank_you...
Nope still got the same problem.. Must be some weird conflict with my phone that I can't pin down.. Like I say I'm on a custom rom anyway but it irritates me because I know it's still there...

How bizarre , I'd stick with the custom ROM for now just in case something else gets crazy corrupted - This Kitkat stuff atm is causing havoc all around.
Yeah I think you're right, maybe different batches of phones and buggy kitkat are causing problems for a few of us? It'll all get ironed out in the end hopefully..

I got the same problem. KitKat update failed in the end and had to CF_Root in order to boot up.
Action Memo (with pen) are not working for me as well. It is all linked with Handwiting somehow.
Is your Action Memo broken also ?
The only thing that I didn't do is Wipe Data/Factory Reset in Recovery mode.
Did you try that ?

got the same problem as yours, no idea why though, after the update samsung keyboard and action memo stopped working.
I think I will wipe it tomorrow but it seems it's not working either
I'm checking around and they say that problem probably lies in the application S Pen Keep, there is no data on this one ... I guess as you said it's linked to the handwriting recognition. tried to do that using Snote transform into text as well and it immediately stopped working as well..
For time being I'm using different keyboard and I like it better than stock one. I really don't want to wipe a phone. Takes so much time to install everything back.

Did u guys intentionally or unintentionally uninstalled Samsung apps? From what I've understand, certain Samsung apps needs to be either freeze thru TB or disable it...
Haven't touched it. I've upgraded to KitKat without updating a bootloader and it happened.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
same here, got the OTA update, after that it simply stopped working.. I don't need the keyboard .. I need the action memo more
Mine still isn't working, I'm on omega rom now so it doesn't affect me, but it still does it if I flash stock... Strange..
try to download another stock rom? maybe that will fix it.. if it did .. let us know... try to download the newest one that came up in Poland..
mine got fixed by formatting and wiping, re-download another stock rom I guess yours has some form of data missing ..
@Colide , just go back to factory settings , will resolve the issue, do it from the recovery of course.
I kinda hate it to wipe data. Lot of apps to reinstall. Thanks for a tip. ?

my suggestions?
flash a stock ROM, and do a clean up (factory reset & clear cache) from stock recovery. This is the simple way.
my guess (if I'm wrong, correct me), you come back from CM/AOSP to TW, and it start to be like this.
Well im not sure if I had rooted it properly but I did all that I downloaded the stock hk rom to try see if thag will get it from booting in recover I know thats the easy fix. My big issue are all the other problems I had before I even tried to root the phone

stock HK firmware ?
Is your device is N9005 HK/Taiwan version ?
if not, you can't just use the HK/Taiwan firmware onto your N9005.
Its the sm-n9005 the international model

if yours is the international model of 32GB N9005, it is strongly suggested not to flash HK/Taiwan firmware.
This 2 firmware is basically only for HK/TW N9005, which is earlier was came in 16GB. Means the partition is different from the 32GB.
after that, they come up with 32GB, but... I might be wrong (correct me if I do), I read somewhere the partitioning also different.
So, Why don't u flash other international firmware ?
Have you tried other than HK/Taiwan firmware ?
I believe so as well. Regardless either 16 or 32gb HK fw doesn't play well with other regions n9005

If you haven't flash stock rom then just flash it first to see if the issue persists. Factory reset and wipe cache from stock recovery after done odin flashing.
If issues persist, root you phone again, install custom recovery sych as TWRP, use DrKetan's imei backup tool here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698639,
make a nandroid backup if your current rom, wipe system/data/cache(don't wipe internal or external storage if you save your nandroid backup and imei backup in any of them else you will lost it. You will never know when they would be handy if you lost your imei in any way). Then flash again stock with odin.
My friend's note3 has terrible lag after upgrade to KitKat. It took a few minutes after reboot just to get unlocked so I helped him to reflash using odin but after 3 different firmwares flashed still not get resolved. I did the same. No more issue after that.

Hi Ammar,
I think your problem is in software. If I were you, I install cwm or twrp recovery, do all wipes including system, preload and internal memory, then flash the latest official firmware with Odin. If problem stands still, I do all wipes agaün and install the latest official firmware again. Even if this is does not work then I decide the problem is hardware based.

Well I cant comment on what went wrong.
I was on slim rom once and my vibration Intensity was tooo too low. Because of that was missing calls.
Or you can download an app for checking vibration. Once my proximity sensor and speaker stopped working, i ran a test and everything was back to normal.
Try test you android from the playstore and see if that test works.
Well here is the app
But again as I said, let us know if this is happening on the stock rom.

Once my Wi-Fi stopped working on a Cyanogenmod based rom. I flased stock firmware many times but it didn't work. Then I installed cwm recovery and do all wipes then it worked. As you understand, such wierd things might happen sometimes that we couldn't understand.

hi, a friend of mine, here in El Salvador, had this s4 i9500, but for some reason an employee from TIGO company offered him to flash it with kitkat, the phone has no use, we downgraded the thing, no go, with three different version, Guatemala, Panama and Colombia, no go!!!!, if you use WIFI or 3G or simply opened an app. freezes and reboot, even we tried flashing it with cyanogenmod cm11, i dont know what else to do, the thing is useless, somebody told me that "KNOW" was related with this, because the previous JB stock rom had root and then tried with KITKAT stock rom with no root, i dont know about that, please help us
any help will be much appreciated
best regards
Did you flash again with a JB custom ROM? It might work, then wipe data/clear cache partition

I think you might have a problem with the cpu...you bought the phone on second hand? Maybe someone forced it in overclocking mode. I recommend you to send the phone to an authorized service, but if you say you tryed everything, the motherboard is the problem..

Hi, I got a problem with fingerprint sensor since buying my phone (it was bought as used). Seller did a hard reset before selling phone claiming that fingerprint sensor was fully working. I was trying to add my fingerprint. Sometimes it worked, sometimes I saw error saying that my fingerprint sensor is not working and I should reboot my phone to fix that - of course it didn't help. Hardware test (*#06*#) sometimes showed proper version of the sensor, sometimes 0.0.0.0.
So I tested few custom roms, but it didn't fixed my problem. It actually made it worse. Before testing custom roms I was able to find 'fingerprint' app/service in all apps. I couldn't find it on custom roms so I came back to newest stock, installed all updates and updated all apps and still I can't find this app/service/whatever it is.
Is there any way to get this back or something?
If you used aosp based custom roms then they wouldn't have had the fingerprint service.
What rom should I get to make this work?

Sounds like it, try doing a full reflash.

Full reflash is wiping data in recovery then flashing ROM with odin? I did it and still nothing.
EDIT: Ok I got it now in all apps. However hwtest says fingerprint's version is 0.0.0.0 and I can't add my fingerprint in settings. Any advice?
