[Q] Need Help (i9505 Wi-Fi, BT, GPS, NFC) Not working - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I ran out of solutions to fix my phone. I've flashed every firmware, data reset, with custom and original recovery and still no wifi or bt. flashed both modems but nothing. bt scans but when it finds something the button goes grey. wifi only turns on if bt is on. i dont have a lock on my gps unless i use gpsfix. nfc connects but wont transfer files. any suggestions please!!

You may be facing a hardware problem. I think you should go to a service centre for this. Sorry, but there doesn't seem to be any software solutions as you've been quite thorough with trying to fix it by software.

[Update]Bluetooth Issue, freeze my TAB

hi
Im running the stock JK6 and rooted.
when Im running e.g. the liveview app my phone keeps some kind of freezing after a few minutes, first I tought it is app related but now I revieved my OBD2 scanner for my car and its just the same with the app "torque".
is this a hardware related problem or something wrong with this ROM.
did a HR several times and reflashed the ROM.
Edit: I noticed when bluetooth recieve or send data I cant get any other wireless date like on wifi or on radio.
please help
Seems to be a one time event with the data problem but the main thing keeps annoing me
Have you tried pulling the battery waiting 60 seconds placing the battery back in the phone and then rebooting?
Eh no cause on the galaxy tab the battery cant be removed

I don't Know, but if you have a Bluetooth PAN connection to the internet, then it should be not possible to have another connection to the internet. IP routing to the gateway would be confused if you could.
There are tools that "group" several separate internet connections into one virtual one.
no Im not using a bt PAN to connect the inet, only normal bluetooth data usage

Just only me who is facing this annoing problem?
Same problem with OBD2 :s disable GPS reduc freeze loop. But not fully (30 minutes). Next time i will turn off Data conection.
Every time i've freeze now i see torque try reconnect to OBD2, seem like BT of SGT turned off or time out
I am having the same problem. As long as I have bluetooth turned on, it will hang the Tab within 30 min. All bluetooth connections are definitely gone. Turning off the bluetooth won't help. The only way is to reboot and never turn bluetooth on.
BTW, I have tried connecting LiveView or a normal bluetooth headset. Both cause the same problem.
I am on JK2.
It seems it is bluetooth driver conflicting with any other data connections.
Did a further testing. Disabled Wifi, but doing data communication via 3G network while turning bluetooth on. The tab hangs in a few minutes. Found a process called 'btld' sucking up all the CPU circle.
Any ideas what 'btld' is?
Thought this should not be a hardware problem because bluetooth works fine when all data connections are off and Wifi/3G data works fine when bluetooth is off. It must be some sort of default setting isn't correct. If this is the case, then root would be a must before manually tuning any parameters.
Found root cause. It is actually the SonyEricsson LiveView software causing troubles. After removing, everything goes well.
Checked on SonyEricsson's web site, it seems Froyo is yet to be supported.
try to use WO Webcam B-Lite out of market, you can open a bt connection by pressing activate and then while running, close via taskmanager, voila the freeze begun
I've got galaxy Tab and galaxy S, and torque badly freezes the devices almost every time I exit the application. It cannot be an hardware fault since I use lot of bluetooth devices and always 3g connected, never had issues. Just with torque, and I don't have any "sony liveview" thing.
Reading on the comments of Torque it seems that also other devices have the same freeze issue (especially a phone called "Evo 4G"). Many months ago I sent a mail to the developer explaining the bug but he bumped me away replying that the app is tested and working on GalaxyTab (and obviously it's not true, or he did some mistake in testing). Now lots of people with this Evo 4G are complaining and the developer is trying to fix. let's hope..

Bluetooth does not turn on...

Hi guys,
For some reason, when I try to turn on Bluetooth, the Atrix thinks for a couple of seconds and then nothing happens. Would anyone know what the problem is? or where to find any logs that would give me more information about why the bluetooth is not turning on? Wi-fi works perfectly...
I have the latest AT&T 2.3.6 installed and the phone is rooted and unlocked.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks jmisturini, I tried that, but the problem is that bluetooth will not even turn on... so it's not that it is not discoverable (as the problem apparently was on that thread), but that bluetooth does not turn on...
Anyone else? any ideas?
Where does Android store log files?
Could be a hardware issue. Are you having wifi issues too?
I had this problem too. I did a software reset and it fixed the problem.

It's only the Bluetooth.. WiFi works fine...
What happens with all your apps and accounts when you do a software reset? Would a full backup using Titanium restore them after?

Bluetooth and Nexus4 issues and observation

Ok so i got my Nexus 4 yesterday and of course BT (Motorola Elite Silver) connects and then within 3/4 seconds will disconnect and it does this continuously. I really need BT to work. I have flashed cm10.1-rc4, night-lies and other roms as well and the same problem persists. I went to three, thats right three T-Mobile stores today and tested the same BT on their phone and it worked flawlessly. One of the Nexus 4 had Android 4.2 (JOP40C) and base-band .33 while the other two had 4.2.2 and base-band .48. Wifi was ON on all these devices and i did not notice and issue with them. My BT stayed connected for over 5mins and i even turn it on/off as well as the BT toggle on the phone and every time it worked without disconnecting or exhibiting any issue. I should also mention that i have flashed base-band .33 and the problem still exists. Does anyone know where i can download a dump of the Nexus 4 for t-mobile?
Is it possible that i have a faulty hardware?
Is there a way to unload the BT stack and reload it to test?
I did discover that when i connect the phone to my computer and the "usb debugging connect" message shows up, the BT/WIFI does not disconnect and works as normal. Now if i disconnect the cable it starts acting up again. Maybe a dev here will be able to figure it out now but that is the behavior i have noticed all through out my testing.
PS: i also have a BlueAnt Q2 and it does connect and sometimes disconnects. WIFI when the BlueAnt Q2 is connected becomes really unstable and disconnects.
Are you undervolting? Any custom kernels? If not, try flashing one. Does it work fine with WiFi off?

No, i am not undervolting. I have tried CM10.1 nightlies and RC4. Even with WIFI off the problem still continues. I am trying to download google 4.2.1 and see if it still a problem.
I use a Bluetooth headset too, and from what I know, in many ROMs, Bluetooth does not work well with WiFi. If both is on, my WiFi will definitely lose connectivity, and/or my Bluetooth will lose connectivity. Either way, they just cannot coexist together.
Turning off my Wi-Fi is the only way I can get my Bluetooth to work.
I think our units are defective. I already called Google and they are sending NEW replacement out to me asap. I don't get how the t-mobile store once worked. The weird part about mine is if the phone is connected to my PC, it works fine. I just can't figure it out.
Tested another one today and it worked flawlessly.

[Q] Bluetooth disconnects on WiFi connect

Hi,
when I ride my car, I usually turn on the car mode, WiFi and Bluetooth. I start at home where I am connected to my WiFi and connect the Bluetooth audio. Everywhere works fine.
But once I reach my destination where they also have WiFi the phone tries to connect to it. This causes the Bluetooth to shut down completely and only a reboot of the phone makes it possible to re-activate it.
I just started to experience this issue. Is it possibly related to the latest Android update? Does anyone know a fix?
Thank you!
Change the Wi-Fi band.
Go to Wi-Fi, click 3 dots menu, select Advanced and change the frequency band at 2.4ghz.

Hi, Thank you very much for your recommendation. The situation has improved since but I have had another two disconnects:
- once Bluetooth reconnected itself
- the second time the situation was again as described above
Any further ideas?
I'm still facing the issue in irregular patterns. Are there other possibilities than changing the WiFi band?
Try other radio maybe.
.48 seems to work fine for many users

Hi, thank you!
I just tried to find an option where to change the radio but couldn't find it. Could you please tell me where it is?
However, I discovered the "scanning always available". Does this drain the battery? If not, I could turn off WiFi in my car and always put this option instead. The only reason why I turn on WiFi in the car is to improve the GPS location and I usually turn it off cause it drains the battery when I am on campus and it keeps reconnecting to several WiFis.

Here are the radios.

Just flash through custom recovery.
And for GPS you shouldn't need Wi-Fi or other data.
Mine locks in seconds, the moment I activate the navigation.

Wifi on Lolipop 5.0 G870A will not connect

For the last week or two I have been unable to connect my phone to wifi networks.
At first the problem would be that I was getting disconnected from any wifi network I joined, now I can't connect at all.
The wifi networks page sometimes (not always) does not detect a strong network even if I am standing a few feet away and the phone has previously connected and other APs are connected and working like my pc
If I try to connect then I get the "Connecting" status followed by "Saved,secured"
I have searched the internet looking for a fix to this and tried wiping the cache partition, forgetting the network, airplane mode toggling on and off, apps that wipe the known network list and some others including lastly a factory reset on the phone but nothing seems to remedy the issue.
From the wifi router I have tried using an unencrypted (open) connection
Now I think I may also be having problems with the bluetooth connecting in the car but I haven't had a chance to really investigate that one yet and it may or may not be related to the last factory reset.
My phone is not rooted.
Build no. LRX21T.G870AUCU2B0F3
kernel3.4.0-4443965

Can anyone offer any assistance to my current issue ?

I have just confirmed that the Bluetooth in my car is not detecting my phone when it scans (the phone bt is switch on and the visible box being checked) so that's both radios with similar issues.

Im having same issue with wifi... sm-g900r4
I just stumbled on a clue, while using an app called 'wifi cleaner' there is a feature allowing you connect to wifi networks within the app. I type in the password, authenticating is shown on the screen followed by "incorrect password".
I know the password to be correct..
Mmm

I was wondering if you ever got this issue fixed?
I thought I had but the problem comes back in a different way.
Sometimes wifi connects but only connects at 5 mbps.
Now wifi will not turn on at all. ( radio button is greyed in settings)
I did find a thread on xda where some Motorola users were having the wifi off issue and it was due to a missing system file which could be replaced on a rooted device. However I don't have root on my s5 g870a and it's not likely I can get it.
