[Q] Want to go back to 4.2.2 on my S4 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
My Samsung S4 updated my phone to 4.3 recently and it is giving me a few issues. The main ones i am stating below
1. Battery Life is almost 60% of what it used to be
2. Wifi doesnt connect if there is no internet on wifi: This is a major problem since i connect my DSLR through my wifi through this software EOS Remote. It was awesome to be able to directly connect download and share images while on the go but i cant do that now since when it tried to connect to my DSLR, it detects that there is no internet and disconnects.
Any solutions to both these problems are welcome although i never had this problem when i was on Gingerbread 4.2.2
Regards
Kashif

Gingerbread 4.2.2? hahahah
Anyway...
You have to look for a tutorial to reinstall the 4.2.2 via ODIN.
It is the Samsung TouchWiz, right?
It's not hard to find some tutorial.
Good luck ;p

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth unknwon on GT P1000

Hi
My Galaxy Tab P10000 doesn't recognize the MAC Adr of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
I can't use it. I can use only3G to access the internet.
This is my Tab Conf:
Firmware: 2.3.3
Base Band: P1000XXJPZ
V. Kernel : 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build No. : GINGERBREADAD.XXJQ1
PDA: P1000XXJQ1
PHONE: P1000XXJQ1
CSC: P1000XAJQ1
Any idea about this problem and how to solve it?
I hope that someone help me.
Thanks
Don't want to state the obvious but are they turned on in settings?
Is your device rooted or all stock?

Hi alexgogan
When I turn on the wi-fi, after a few minutes appears the message ERROR and I can't connect or detect any wi-fi network. When I turn on the bluetooth, after some time he turn to the first step.
In the info Tab, the Wi-Fi and the Bluetooth mac address is unknow and the state is unavailable.
I've installed a stock rom (this rom) with the Odin. But this problem is prior to this installation.
Please help me. Thanks.
Sounds like there is modem failure. You may need to flash new modem again.
Would suggest reflashing stock rebooting and trying again.
If it was like this prior to flashing this build that may be the problem with original install.
How long has wifi not been working?
Thank you for your feedback.
The wifi stopped working after an upgrade via Kies, in November. Later I discovered that the bluetooth does not work too.
After that I made some ROM updates, but without success until today.
My questions to your sugestions are:
this modem (in my Tab) is in the correct version?
How can I flash the new modem?
which version?
by Odin?
Sorry for not getting back to you.
But if it's a mess with kies its strange.. But would not be surprised though if you got fault device with wrong stock and the official flashing messed things up.. So depends how long you had it, if it's still under warranty then Sammy must fix it, but not unless it's been rooted and the will use any excuse to get out of fixing it.
But odin will have no probs with chains cf root as well.
Just wish knew what it was before the flashing. I cause you might have changed things in the process. The it will depend on your carrier as well so www.samfimware.co will tell you and this wiki one of the guys put up should also help... But lot depends on your device for which carrier as some radios are modified and if you have wrong one then that would explain a lot.

That or your actual physical radio is bust as well so then is hardware and no flashing will fix.

[Q] several weird issues with my new SGS4 i9505 - int. version - snapgdragon

Hi
I recently replaced my lovely galaxy s2 with its successor the sgs4 - i9505 and I was only able to get the int. snapdragon version.
here are the main issues I have at the moment and I would like to have your advice if not your solutions because I already try to replace the phone but the new one has exactly the same problems.
1. and most annoying issue : I often got error about "no network connection" when it' s not true (got almost full signal and H/ 3G icon is there but If I would like to make a post of facebook I very often if not every time I need to use the "resend " function for my status to be posted successfully..
I got same troubles with playstore .. and also with the Cisco Webex application /widget .. if I only have data connection I cannot access their server and update my meeting list.. it's working only when connected to Wireless.. (tried to reinstall.. and changed the phone but this persists..)
also ..the other weird problem I 've encountered is with Bluetooth .. I have a bluetooth Beats pill speaker, and I am not able to play music by bluetooth with the stock application .. I needed to install a paid tool called ICS bluetooth manager for forcing the use of ad2p for playing media.. and that's not very good.
And last but not least .. I bought an 64gb Sandisk class 10 SD card, but I often got issue saying that it's damaged and ask to format after having copied some files by connecting the phone with USB cable .. any suggestion ( I switched to google play music now.. but that's a workaround not a solution ..)
And to finish.. I've got a question .. what is your opinion regarding the "best" beats audio mod to use on this device ? I tried the Rockodev mod but I don't see a magic difference even with original Beats Mixr Headphones.. the difference is comparable to rocket player equalizer enhancements I think..
Thank you in advance for your help /suggestion / advice..
N.B: Am on the stock ROm ,only rooted and installed SuperSU .. and I don't even know if Samsung published any update as I can't retrieve then after the root...
rgds..

Hm, that's weird. I've used the stock app for playing music through bluetooth too and it works fine. What happends when you try to play music with the stock app?

I've got a 32GB Sandisk class 10 card which works awesome. Did you format the card before putting it in your S4? Which format are you using?

I'd first of all if your phone is running the out of the box firmware, update your phone and retry everything then report back. Some of the new firmwares are a lot better my out of the box fw was horrible. I personally would reccomend using djembeys pre rooted roms. Take a look in the Android development section for 9505 and there is Djembeys thread take a minute to read through the 1st post and give one of his roms a go.
I'm regards to your data connection issue. I used to get this issue with flipboard on my s3 but never had it on my s4.
I really would try the updated ROMs 1st as last.

Ok that could be a good idea.. but one question is what will happens if I instal one of Djembeys pre rooted roms if I already rooted my SGS4 (specially for installing titanium backup pro ) .. and due to the fact it's rooted I cannot grab OTA updates.. but in anyway I don't think there is one update available for my country.
If you tell me that I can install it without issue, then I will give it a go .
does that will add the yellow sign on the boot afterwards .. ? What is the process in my case, should I flash the stock recovery and stock kernel before flashing the rom ?
thx for your help ..I am still new in SGS4 dev... but I played a bit with my SGS2 so I know how to flash roms from recovery.. but never did it with ODIN but I flashed the recovery for rooting the phone so i should be able to do it if someone helps me with the correct process because I don't want to brick the phone or to loose the warranty forever (if not too late )
NB: for answering the the 1st answer.. with stock music app , or with Google play or rocket player all cannot play sound over Bluetooth even if that is enabled Under media and that my speaker is connected /paired..
I was able to force it using ICS Bluetooth manager and or soundabout.. but with my new JBL speaker that does not work anymore.. so I 've no choice than trying another rom... thank you..
Ok so I tried the latest Djembey's rooted stock rom and it's already quite better (was able to play music via bluetooth without any difficulty which is a big improvement but my webex widget still won't connect while on data but works normally while on wifi. I will check if play store /facebook still have same troubles or not..
Should it help to flash a CSC ? if yes which one should I choose ?

[Q] Trying for weeks...

I am currently running Cyanogenmod on my Sprint Galaxy S4, and for the most part, I love it, except that I have no data service unless I am connected to wifi. Away from a wifi connection I have no data and no texting ability. So I have atempted several times to return to stock, but every time I try via Odin, it fails. From what I can tell it is because Cyanogenmod is running 4.4.4 and the stock firmware I am trying to install is 4.4.3 (because there is no stock 4.4.4 firmware, at least not that I have seen.) Anyone out there have a solution or alternative for me?
Are you using the Triband model? If so, this is a mirror for the new NG5 firmware. Try to flash with Odin the modem.bin for NG5. Your phone currently had a mismatched modem version and that's why only wifi works. (Probably)

WiFi and Bluethooth issue with lollipop

Hi,
I flashed my SM-N9005 note 3 with the lollipop dec leaked rom, everthing was good except 2 issues
- wifi forgets all passwords if I turn wifi off and on again or reboot the phone
- bluetooth seems to sleep for too long, atleast my ford sync has an issue now finding the phone, I have to retry in sync many times before it finds the phone (was never a issue with 4.4 or other phones)
thought it was just an issue with the beta lollipop and now I upgraded to the final build (N9005XXUGBOA5_N9005XEOGBOA4_XEO) but I have the same 2 issues
any ideas how I can fix them?
best regards
fFletchs
I have official rom from sammobile. No issues.

I have the same issue, but my device also forgets the current WiFi password if I switch to another WiFi network.
I'm running on the (PDA) N9005XXUGBOA5-netherlands.
I thought odin auto updated the bootloader when the factory image is flashed through the PDA function (same way the Google 'flash-all.bat' works for nexus devices) .
If not, then where do I get the lollipop bootloader? And how do I flash that via odin?

Nexus 4 Wi-Fi problems

Hello,
I recently bought a LG Nexus 4. I hooked it to my home WiFi and noticed some problems.
The problem is that some sites are not getting loaded. Very slow load time.
For example google is loading pretty good but when i try Facebook around 4-5 minutes to load.
But when I am on cell network the internet connection is good.
I factory reset the device and still no fix. I haven't tried other WiFi networks.
Please advice.
Is the phone running the latest ROM, bootloader, and modem?

It isn't falshed with bootloader nor ROM
Just stock android lastest update.
The modem is the latest version firmware.
I tried it with other Wi-Fi - no success.
Could it be possible that the Wi-Fi module is damaged?

It's an old and well know problem.
Take a look at this tread and flash the fix. It's working in Lollipop too, but you need a custom recovery.
