[Q] Signal/connection lost on wakeup [Solved] - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Since a couple of weeks i'm suffering from the following problem.
On newer roms the signal to my provider is lost upon waking up the phone (from standby/screen off).
A couple of things happened, i switched providers (from T-Mobile to Ziggo), i flashed a wrong modem which caused sound problems (from the omega rom 13.1). Since that moment i've had this problem. I'm not sure if its related to what happened, but that's what i know changed.
I've tried several modem files, though the modem version MI1 which works properly with Echoe v3, gives the same problems on Echoe v6, Omega 13.2 and Phoenix v5. Updating to XXUEMJ7 makes no difference at this point. I'm not quite sure whether its the modem at all due to this, but it seems the most obvious thing to look at when facing connection problems.
When the connection is active its working properly, i have data, i can call, receive SMS messages and everything. But press the off button once to lock the device, press it again to unlock it, and i see the signal status icon change to no connection.
At the moment with Omega 13.2 installed, its reconnecting quickly after i unlock my phone (something that didnt happen on the other roms), but it seems like very weird behavior. I've googled and searched the forums here for people with similar problems, but they've either not been documented yet, or i've been using the wrong keywords to find it.
Does anyone know what's going on, and how i can fix this?
Many thanks,
Amber

Hello,
Do not use roms based on mj7, use roms based on mj5 or go back to 4.2.2
I have tested all radios many kerneles with many mj7 based roms and always had this problem.
And use radio mj5 with mj5 roms likeecho illusion bobcat, visxii.
Get radio from here:

S4 i9505 Sound and Lag problems

Hello,
I am new to android and have only had my s4 for about 3 weeks.
I rooted my phone with cf auto root and tried out different roms for the past 2 weeks, i mainly used Omega & echoe rom and i was using Omega at the time i experienced problems, basically my phone freezes when i call people and the screen goes black, the phone lags for a good 5-10 seconds when im unlocking the phone with a swipe & no sound comes out my s4 at all. I have tried to wipe the phone and format everything including my data & i installed Foxhound 3.1 and the problems still exist? if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it.
P.S I heard flashing the stock 4.3 rom might do the trick but i cant download from hotfile for some reason so if anyone has a torrent please link me it! thanks in advance!!

Hi, i have the same problem, so sound at all, and also no signal!
I have baseband MJ5 and Built number MJ9 (using omega v15 now)
I've tried the wifi fix you posted but no luck
Here is a more detailed description of my problem!
I have no sound at all coming from the device, I've read most threads that say no sound on the heading for I9505 and for many people flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar resolved the problem but not in my case.
Last night I tried flashing I9505XXUEMI8_I9505OXAEMI8_I9505XXUEMI8 and after I changed the kernel I got some sound when turning the volume up and down but the phone was running very slow.
Today I tried flashing Omega rom v15 flashing the right modem for the new bootloader before flashing the zip and no sound, I tried changing the kernel, still nothing.
So now I'm in build number XXUEMJ9 and baseband MJ5.
I've also tried flashing stock with a pit file but didn't make a difference!

[Q] SM-N9005 Wi-Fi not working (CM11 + XXUBMI5 baseband). Try other modems?

Hi I recently flashed my SM-N9005 to ZHUENB5 (official all-in-one, Odin). There was no signal (GSM or Wi-Fi) after that. I then tried flashing NB5 & NB1 modems but neither worked. After flashing XXUBMI5 (modem only) I was able to get HSPA+ signals & make phone calls. However I still got no Wi-Fi connection even though it says connected & show a Wi-Fi icon in status bar (other phones work), no matter in official ROM or CM11.
Any suggestion? Why the official all-in-one does not work (I checked re-partition while flashing but the pit file is for 16G whereas my phone is 32G)? I guess I should try other modems? It already bothered me for a couple of days so your help is very much appreciated.

To answer my own question, after so many attempts it turns out that only flashing a 4.3 modem over a 4.4 stock ROM solved my problem (even 4.4 stock won't work without flashing another 4.3 modem). That's really weird! Hardware issue?

Not hardware no, HK Firmware issue I guess. HK fw is a strange one with the N3, causes so many issues. - Least you figured it out though :victory:

[Q] Dialer goes black when making calls and no sound

I have an s4 from rogers (Canadian model) and initially had cyanogen mod as my rom but I realized that I was missing nearly 5 GB of storage on my phone. I read that to fix this I had to go back to stock using Odin. I went back to stock 4.2.2 using Odin, but then my WiFi stopped working. I couldn't turn WiFi on or search for networks. I then rooted my phone and installed a rom and my WiFi problem was fixed, but now I cant make calls. Every time I try to call someone my screen goes black and the recipient cannot hear me and I cannot hear them. Also, the sound on my phone does not work. I have flashed multiple roms and still get the same problem. Does anyone know any possible solution. I have looked around and many people have had the same problem, but no solution. Any help would be appreciated.
It's because you flashed an old rom (4.2.2) on a newer bootloader. That doesn't work. Flash the latest rom available for you phone.

I have flashed multiple roms and most of them were the latest ones (4.4.4). This still did not fix the problem. Is this what you mean?

I'm sorry, I gave some wrong advice.
It's probably because you are on the old bootloader but you are using a new modem. That's the cause for the problems on our s4. You have a different s4 and there is a different section for your device.
You have to be in this section:

They should be able to help you further there.

[Q] Why doesn't my WiFi work on new ROM builds?

I have a N900W8, and most ROM builds are for N9005.
I have never had a problem flashing N9005 builds, and all radios working fine, until I tried to flash Audax 11 (running Audax 10.8 now).
After flashing, during the initial setup screens, the WiFi toggle doesn't respond at all. Even if i skip through the rest of the setup, WiFi does not turn on at all.
I tried flashing XNOTE 21, and had the same problem.
Anyone have any ideas?
Baseband is N900W8VLUCNB7, if that matters.
May sound stupid but try flashing a full stock rom package via odin and check if it works with stock roms. That would be the first thing I'd try. Maybe some rom you tried included a modem/baseband that it causing the issue. Flashing back to stock and then switching to another rom again may help.
Flashing stock ROM won't help, and OP is correct. There are some ROMs indeed where WiFi just stops working. I flashed a ROM like that few days ago, I won't name it because of whatever reasons, but it is considered one of the most popular ROM for N9005 and N900T or some model and can be found under T Mobile section, and after flashing the ROM my WiFi just wouldn't turn on. I don't know what was the reason, didn't care to be honest, but then I saw that there are some flash-able zip packages which fixes the issue, again, didn't care to flash those so called fixes.
So OP might wanna look for one of those package for the ROM he is using.

No data connection on Android 5.x

Hi
I have a problem with my Galaxy S4 i9505 (I9505XXUFNB9). I can't get any data connection when i flash to a rom running Android 5.x. I've tried many different kinds (e.g. Cyanogenmod, Slimrom). There's just an exclamation mark next to the data symbol. Enabling roaming doesn't work, and changing to LTE etc. doesnt either. So i am beginning to suspect that it's a problem related to my phone and Android 5.x. When installing a custom rom i've used the version specific to my phone (jfltexx). There's no problem with the data connection running an Android version below 5.
Thanks in advance.
Did you update your modem?

I figured that could be the issue, and i was previously looking into that but i gave up when i couldn't find a modem that seemed to match my model. Also i was worried if flashing the modem would be irreversible.
Could anyone point me to where i can find the correct modem update?

If you don't know exactly how it works, then you also just flash one of the latest lollipop firmware versions our here.
OK, this is driving me crazy :S Today i decided to try two more custom 5.x roms before flashing the modem. I tried both the Omega and the Goldeneye custom roms. And now the problem was the WI-FI connection didn't work! I couldn't even enable the WI-FI connection at all. But the data connection worked...
Then i tried flashing several different modems (I9505XXUFNDG, I9505XXUFNB9, and I9505XXUFNC9), including the WI-FI fix from the thread above (NON-HLOS.bin), and none of it solved the WI-FI issue.
For now i've downgraded to the stock Android 4.4.2 rom...
