Wi-Fi doesnt want to work - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wi-Fi doesnt want to work - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I bought my SGS 4 9505 before 2 days and I still cant find a solution for this problem. I've flashed 2 modems, the last one was those: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2liy7wkwCSJVTgtZmlkX0EwbTQ/edit?pli=1, before 10 mins I did a factory reset but still I cant use my Wi- Fi. Whats exactly the problem is ? Well, when I turn on my Wi Fi (nevermind from where - slide menu or settings menu) it doesnt want to start. When I turn it on from settings menu, the slider changes from 0 to 1 (but not in green, staying gray) and for 5-10 seconds it says: "Turning on..." adn then the slider (which is on top,right) from gray (dark) 1 go to 0 again. When I try from Slide menu, it happens NOTHING. The color of line under the wi-fi picture is dark (smooth) green and it doesnt change.
If there is someone who can help me I will gratefull. Thank you previously.

In that case, which modem ? I will try to avoid flashing new ROM, becuase somewhere I have read that they are still not stable and most of them prefers Stock rom

[Q] after new baseband no calls

Hey friends,
I really looked everything up, but I could not find anything what helped me with my problem.
I have a Galaxy S4 (GT-i9505) and I wanted to update my modem from MKE to ML6. Because I had some issues with updating it (there still was the MKE at my "Status" after updating to ML6), I tried to double-overwrite it (someone wrote at a forum, that that will solbe the overwriting method). So, I started Odin 3.09 and deleted the "Auto Reboot" option. After the first flashing, I took out the battery and replaced it again. Then I did a secound modem flashing. The result was: There was still the MKE modem AND I cannot call anyone. Everytime I try to call someone and I click the call button, my Galaxy seems to crash. The screen is getting black and I have to shut it down by holding the power button for several secounds. Of course, I already tried out other modems (like to MKE modem again and MJ8), but the problem still exists.
Could anybody please help me!
Thanks,
Robert

Have you tried changing rom + modem? you cannot just randomly try modems with a certain rom as some will work others not.

Yes, I tried both the Google Roms 4.4 and 4.3, as well as several other custom roms.

it seems that your doing in a wrong way mate Try this , Turn OFF your Phone Manually (Wait about 5 sec) Now press and hold Power+VolumeDown in order to reach Download mode. Open odin select PHONE/CP (Find the modem you download) Connect the cables (check to see if it shows added on top/or should be a blue?Notsure or wait atleast 10 sec) then click start ,once done , remove the cable. and after done rebooting go to you phone setting>More>Device info and check if your baseband version change. have a nice day.

Thanks, but that is what I have done at least ten times. I tried Odin3.04 and Odin3.09. I tried MKE, ML6, MJ8. I tried Google Roms 4.4 and 4.3, as well as other custom roms. That's weird!

I have never had any luck with 3.09 i always stick to 3.07, where are you getting your modems rom?

Which tutorial do you mean?
btw: sending a sms works, as well as receiving....but no incoming or outgoing calls

Had the same thing yesterday, tried all sorts of modems, with no avail.
Ended up flashing a stock rooted Rom (MGA), flashing a custom recovery and restored a Nandroid. Forgot that flashing a complete stock Rom usually also wipes the internal SD so that was a bit of a hassle.
Now, running a new Rom again, with Wifi, sound and being able to make/receive calls again. Easiest fix also: flash a (compatible) stock Rom :good:

Thank you mate. I also found (5 sec before I read your post) this post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46969768&postcount=2
So, everything works now. The short version for other guys with the problems is:
- flash stock rom via Odin (PDA)
- you can find the stock rom for your country at sammobile.com
- also use the "pit-file" of the linked post (but I don't know, what the pit-file is changing?!)
optional:
- re-root your device again, because now it is not rooted
- new custom rom
Thanks for every help!!!

Try flashing ML6 Firmware and ML6 Modem (and Wi-Fi fix if needed), had the same issue but after doing so it's fixed.
Occured 1 time again, did a cache wipe didn't occur in 2days now.

Except flashing the Wifi Fix was the thing I did to ruin it all. Don't flash a "new" Wifi fix using an old bootloader. You will lose sound/being able to make calls. It's the thing that messed it all up over here.

I was already on the new bootloader.I've flashed Original FW, Modem + Wi-Fi fix and it fixed my phone. (Possibly also PIT but can't remember)
It can be that our problems were different but produced the same problem.. I'm not a dev nor do I understand everything about Android.
I can be wrong, but that's how I fixed my phone. Just trying to help

More Wifi Issues.

No I'm sure we're all aware that there are quite a few issues with Wifi not working on S4 with certain ROMs/Kernels/Modems etc etc.
Now I've tried so many ROMs stock & custom, loads of different Modems, an assortment of Kernels and many tricks/hacks to try and get it working but nothing.... absolutely nothing.
I'm currently on ParanoidAndroid 3.99-RC2 27/12/13. Wifi obviously won't switch on, it can't seem to even find the MAC address even though the file is there to be read from and I can view it as a text document. Even more strange is that under the '/Data/misc/wifi/' folder, all that is in there is one file called 'softap.conf' and a folder called 'sockets'. Now I haven't actually deleted the 'wpa_supplicants.conf' file, it was just never created, along with the rest of the contents for that folder. Unless what I read about Symlinks the other day meant that the actual working folder has changed recently.
But list of things I have tried:
Deleting .cid.info file
Deleting wpa_supplicant.conf file
Editing build proper 'Ro.secure.storage=false' attribute
Doing the SQlite trick
Pulling the battery whilst it's on
Using programs like Wifi Fixer - they just tell me my wifi is stuck
Using *#0011# to turn off power saving
Selecting the Wifi Region Code
Unticking Wifi Optimisation
Changing Wifi during sleep action
Using *#*#4696#*#*, It states "Configured Networks: Disabled", "Wifi State: Disabled" and "Supplicant Sate: UNITIALIZED"
More testing:
Different Modems
Different Kernels
Different ROMs
Different Wifi-Fixes
Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated or any addition tricks to try that may help.

Pls read the rules of XDA. You have a custom ROM, ask in correct thread. Ty and good day

I stated that I was on a custom ROM in my opening post... Equally I stated that it didn't matter what ROM I used it didn't work on any of them, from complete stock ROMs to AOSP and Google.
Flashing stock ROM now so that I can test those codes.

1- Turn off ur phone. Go to DOWNLOAD MODE and Flash THIS (unrar it before) in Odin as PHONE/CP!!
2- When u finish the process ur phone will reboot
3- Try if u have WIFI. If not make a factory reset:
- Make a Internal Memory backup
- From your home screen press the apps icon in the lower right corner.
- Find and press the settings icon.
- In the upper end of the screen press the accounts tab.
- In the bottom of the next screen press the Backup and reset button.
- Press the factory data reset.
- Read the info on your cell phone screen and hit Reset device.

Unfortunately after going back to the stock ROM, I have tried both, I did the Wifi-Fix again, just to humour myself, but it didn't work. Though since going back to Stock ROM it is able to find the MAC address, which it wasn't doing on AOSP ROMs. Short of rooting the device again and fiddling with files I don't know what else I can try on completely Stock to make it work

Ok, for about the first time ever Kies, has actually picked it up, says there is also an update available now. What would you like the Screenshot of? Or should I just go ahead with the update and hope for the best?
Edit:
Sorry, yes I did the Factory Reset earlier as a lot of people have said that solved the issue.

[Q] Wi-fi not working on SGH-i337 S4 (ATT) after "unlock"

Having an issue with my father-in-law's SGH-I337 S4 (ATT). A few months ago my father-in-law had this S4 "unlocked" in Vietnam to use a local SIM and wifi/data hasn't worked since (calling works and I believe texts were ok too). New to Android but I gather they replaced the baseband or something (baseband was MJ9 while build was MJ6). Wifi toggle would not move at all, and data did not work. Also got a error message after trying to toggle the wifi.
I reflashed using the MK2 TAR (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279). That seemed to get data working and fixed the error but wifi doesn't really work. After first boot/setup, when it asks for wifi network/password, wifi seems to work and shows available wifi networks like expected. I select my network and enter password, then it just hangs for a bit then goes back to the wifi enable screen, with the on/off toggle not green and the area below just says "turning on". Rebooting doesn't change anything. Can't turn on after that. After a hard reset, I am able to do the setup again, but same thing... works to enter password but then never again.
Seems like the options to try are to reflash a kernel or try a 4.3 ROM, but I don't want to take a few steps back after the reflash got the data working again (at least it can be used as a phone again). Also, my main goal is obviously just getting it working like normal, but I also don't want to lose any future flashing because I was rash and did something I shouldn't have.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Your update to NB1 and use towel root method . I had the same problem when i owned this phone . Even after flashing the kerenel modules i still had no wifi . It will only be a problem for you if you are wanting to stay on the MK2 firmware . Just install Nb1 and after installing dont reboot system , reboot into download mode and flash the NB1 kernel modules and reboot . It may take up to 5 minutes to boot . I switched to the tmobile galaxy S4 and then S5 now because the locked bootloader is a pain in the a$$ and you cant install custom kernels as of last time i checked .

Hiii....I am also having the same problem.My phone was unlocked by a guy and everything was working fine then.From next day the i could not turn on WiFi(It would go grayish for some time and then return to normal).I tried searching for it online and found the following soln
1)Reboot and check(Didn't work)
2)Factory Reset:After doing this it worked for that initial scanning but again was back to normal once wifi was switched off
3)Factory reset and installed root browser(my phone is rooted as i was able to install root explorer) and tried renaming the wpa-supplant config file
.This was worked for me for like 4 days.
After that again the problem is back and its even worse.It is immediately turning off as opposed to delay in previous case.When i tried to follow the same procedure the config files are not present.I could not on wifi even after factory reset even once
As i am a new around here detailed help would be appreciated;
My Device Features:
1)Andriod:4.4.2,SGH I337
2)Baseband:I337UCUFNC1
3)kernel Version:3.4.0-1125940
4)Build No:KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1

I would flash the nb1 tar file in Odin and see if that fixes the problem. It'll return your device to stock, the sim unlock will remain.

The abbreviations are the different types of recovery software that are generally used. TWRP = Team Win Recovery Project.
Plase take this in the spirit its intended, but if you can't use Towelroot, then you have some reading to do before you plug in anything. Trust me. Knowing all the steps you're going to take beforehand is going to save you a TON of trouble, you'll never be stuck with a brick, and you'll possibly save money.

hey dude, i,ve got a bad problem with my phone yasterday
once several days ago i flashed that zip for resize my navbar to 44dpi in that topic you have sid that delete one android-res28 blah blah file in that folder but that time because there wasnt such apk with that numbur i didnt deleted any file
than yestedrday i was more i resized that navbar in ann app again i dont remember what app whas it
than i didnt like that size again and i wanted to be on 44dpi again
so i went to flash that zip again and i went to see your tuterial in that topic again but this time i went to that folder and deleted android-res44 and then repoot and flash but, the problem starts here when it got up i installed several app and i use link2sd to link apps when i installed those apps they were linking automatickly to my sd card but when it comes to th last one it errorrs now stroage left on device and when i tryed to link other apps in my phone that werent linked i got that error too i also when try to install new apps get NOT app installed error then i deleted anotherfile from that folder andoid-res follow one on guids to fix app install error but also it didnt work
so now i am with these problems and i think that i should do everything to my phone again: full format,flash stock rom,then root,ten flash your nice rom again then updates and all over again but i though that i ask you this may you have another easier solution becaus its hard for me to do all those again and i also shold format my sd too and make partitions for it too again mabe problem is there

I think you flashed wrong firmware. It's a common fail coz the latest firmware in Sammobile.com is for the model "BLACK EDITION":
1. Download this firmware if your phone is a "normal" GT-i9505: HERE.
2. Unzip and flash it via ODIN. ( Reflash the firmware one time more if your phone boot and you still without wifi). Good luck

Factory reset your phone in this way (like in the pic attached). Your phone will reboot. Take a look if you have wifi now :fingers-crossed:
* I think the button of "Backup and reset" is in Settings - Account Tab
