[Q] S4 does not find my wlan when using aosp based roms - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I rooted my s4 (I9505), installed a custom recovery and went on flashing cyanogenmod (the official 10.1.3 RC). Everything seems to run just fine but CM does not find my Wlan network. It shows other networks though.
I thought maybe it is a CM bug so I tried the 4.3 google edition rom but I have the same problem there.
After reverting to a stock rom wlan works perfectly again
So I flashed CM again after a full wipe but the problem persists.
My SGS2 never had problems with my wlan at all (also running CM)
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
Thank you in advance.

I do have the exact same problem
I own a Galaxy S4 Intl. i9505
i put CWM on it to install cyanogenmod 10.1.3 RC1
the device is able to scan the networks, but not even that reliable.
first i tried connecting to my wifi network using WPS. but that didn't work
then i manually put in my passphrase. it stored the network but didn't connect. neither automatically nor manually.
rebooting the device and/or turning off/on wlan doesn't work.
Is there a way to see some log files, or follow the system, what it tries to do and where it might get stuck?
baseband version: I9505XXUBMGA
question. is the solution maybe flashing another radio firmware?
cheers.

[Q] i9505 MIUI Wifi not working

Hello,
today I flashed the MIUI port for my i9505.
Everything works fine but if I want to activate the wifi, first the wifi button turns orange and jumps to "on" but after a few seconds, the wifi button jumps back to "off".
I don't know what to do, it's the newest port of MIUI, please help!!!
I'll flash the older version 3.6.28 and look if the wifi works
After flashing the 3.6.28, its still the same bug. Installed via PhilZ Touch recovery, fully wiped, no wifi.
What am I doing wrong?
Any ideas?
Someone out there who uses the 3.7.5 without the wifi bug?
Now I just changed some directories and files with the stock touch piss rom but still nothing happens
This rom is fuc**** pissing me off, I'll go back to Jamals GE Rom

[Q] Problems with audio after flashing MGG

Hi!
I flashed a rom with MGG and got the same FC problems as everyone else. Flashed the stock MGG rom and cleared everything, factory reset etc. After that I didn't get any audio at all. Not ever during the samsung bootup animation.
I flashed another rom through cwm, same thing and no wifi. The wifi fix doesn't seems to work either.
Tried CM 10.2, there I'm getting wifi but instead no data trafic. Baseband says "unknown" even through I flash different modems. The wifi and data problems I can get around, its just that I can't flash older roms through odin until they unlock the new bootloader.
The audio problems in the other hand. Saw some guy having sound problems in the modem thread as well. Not to many have posted about this problem. Seems to be a pretty rare problem.
What could cause this, how to get around this?
Had to go to work with a non working phone so can't get any logs for you at the moment.
I'm concerned, please enlighten me!
Finally, flashed the latest CM 10.2. Got wifi and reception working!
Still no sound. What log would you like to see to find out what's wrong?

[Q] CM10.2 not connecting to home network

Hi XDA community. I am going to describe my problem, and see who else has the same issue/what remedies are possible.
I have been using CM10.1 Stable for a long time with no problems whatsoever.
Lately, i moved to CM10.2, when the problems started. My phone cant connect to my home network, but is ok with connecting to my gf's phone via wifi hotspot. I said wth i will do stock install 4.4. Then CM11 couldnt connect either.
Back to CM10.2, back to .84 radio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227&highlight=radio), wipe data/cache/dalvik, phone unable to connect to WiFi network at home.
Has anyone experienced this behaviour have any recommendation as to what to look for?
I dont mind flashing stock 4.4 again, but i really got used to CM. I have to mention that another ROM based on CM10.2 works fine with wifi.
Any help for a fellow XDA'er?
Cheers!

WIF/Network/Modem problems

Hello,
Update: apparently its not broken because I did a full wipe and installed Echoe again, left MJ9 on it, and it seems to be working, for now anyway. -MJ5 was recommended by the developer
U2: Wifi stops working again.
I am worried that my s4 might be broken since any modem I try I don't get a stable wifi or the phone crashes when using GPS on a data connection (sometimes it works, sometimes the network drops and sometimes the phone crashes).
I was using Echoe ROM on baseband mj5 for a couple of months with no problems but lately the wifi problems started showing up and after reboots the phone would ALWAYS crash once at lockscreen (right after booting) and then it would work fine on second or third reboot. I upgraded to newer echoe but the same, so I decided to go to an AOSP rom and switched to Liquidsmooth (latest on 4.3). And I was having even bigger problems with network and slow wifi (on echoe the wifi problem was intermitent, on this it's always slow) and I didn't use to have GPS+Data network=phne crashes. So I went on the thread with all the modems and tried a few. the site http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ tells me that for my S4 i9505 on three UK the latest is I9505XXUEMK9.
All the following I tested on liquidsmooth rom and by reflashing this rom before and or after new modem flash
So I tried both XXUEMK9 and 8 but both are really bad, wifi drops and phone crashes (tried WIFI fix), then I tried I9505XXUEMJ9 without/with wifi fix and it seemed stable for about 5 minutes... then it crashed. This was on new rom flash after flashing moded, just to make sure... and it still crashed.
I used odin to flash all the modems
I use Philz Touch latest 6.something (I was on 5.something at first but changed it just to be sure)
should I try a modem that is not UK specific, is there an international one? <-- although, Im assuming XX means international so this would answer my own question.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
I would still like to know of a good modem for UK Three phone with AOSP rom
thankyou

Wifi not turning on (i9505 - Stock rom)

Hi. After trying a couple of custom roms, I wanted to go back to a stock rom via Odin. I actually succeeded. The phone boots, and android setup screen comes. But in the "wifi connection" screen, when I touch the button to turn the wifi on, it just refuses to turn on. It goes back to off position. I have tried several different country's stock roms (4.4.2 only, I haven't tried 5.0) and they all ended up the same. I just can not turn wifi on in stock rom. Wifi works in custom roms that I installed using TWRP.
Any idea why this happens?
By the way, I also tried flashing different modems, but the result is the same. I read that turning off the phone and removing the battery helps, however, in my case, it didn't.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: As I have looked into the issue, some people claim that a custom kernel usually solves wifi problems. I haven't tried it yet but I will as soon as I can get my hands on the phone. Also in another post, I have seen a build.prop tweak "ro.securestorage.support=false" which is claimed to have solved the wifi issues. I am writing these to be of help to others that might encounter the same problem. I will update the post after trying these ideas.
EDIT 2: It turns out, when you flash a stock rom, Odin can't actually flash the modem partition. It seems like it does but it actually fails. You have to do it twice.
No Wifi
Hi,
have some trouble with my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505). Since 2 weeks I'm trying to get wifi working. 2 weeks ago I decided to root the phone (everything complete stock Android 5.0.1). At this moment wifi was working well..
I did:
- Flash TWRP with Odin
- Flash magisk 18.1
--> booted phone..
Everything seemed to work well..expect wifi. It wouldn't turn on. When trying to activate the WiFi button by sliding to the right it stays grey and after 10 sec. the slider goes to the right side again.
What I've done:
Downloaded several stock firmwares from sammobile --> no wifi
Flashed serveral custome rom's (lineage 14.1, 15.1), android 5.0 and 4.4 based --> no wifi
Tried differnt kernels --> no wifi
Flashed different bootloaders and modems--> no wifi.
Tried to delete files in /wifi folder suggested here in forum --> no wifi
Tried to modify buil.prob set the security value to false suggested here in forum --> no wifi
I don't think thats a damage on the hardware. It must be a software issue?
Bluetooth and mobile data are working well. GPS and wifi seem to be broken.
After spedning weeks of flashinng, recovering etc.. I am frustrated and don't know what to do.
Any advices?
My wifi is not being enabled with this rom. Does anyone know how to solve?
