Android 4.4.x - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've got an sgs4 lte international version. I've tried to install every single android 4.4.x and all goes fine but after some time I cant recieve call, sms not working, phone reboots etc.
Everytime I did an installation I've made a full wipe.
Am I doing something wrong or are you guys facing the same?
\\Hexch

Note: Omnirom working good but the only issue I am facing is that is eating my battery.

Try Echoe Kit Kat v.2.1

Yeah you're right, but as you wrote..I could have pointed out it was for i8190 only.
It's done now so I hope no one else find it out the hard way :good:

Did the same with enox ROM. Had phone for 4 hours and went straight to softbrick :angel: You can see my signature, that's from softbricking SGS more than once.
Oh, the perils of being flash junkie
I've got some network issues with my S3 mini. From time to time it disconnects itself from the network - no mobile internet, no incomming/outgoing calls, no nothing. Signal indicator is full, but the phone works only after restart or airplane mode on and off. There's a thread about this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057285&page=5).
I run stock ROM, no root, no customizations. I'm wonreding can I install this radio on it and may it resolve my problem?

Yes it should be fine to flash but I can't say if your problem will be fixed.
You need root to flash this and I think your PDA, PHONE and CSC won't match correctly anymore, for kies or ota to give you updates.
You can still update manually with odin tho, when new fw for your country arrives.

CM 11 M7-M8 Internet Connection Problem

Wifi and MobileData connection is going(borken) frequently at the same time. Apps start saying "No internet connection" . Another example Whatsapp messages can't send. It's happening too frequently. I can't use my nexus4 properly. If there is no solution , I will turn back the official ROM-Kernel which comes from Google.
Note: There is no problem like this with official OS.
Do a reboot, turn your wlan router off for 5 minutes and turn it back on.

M8 is Android 4.4.4, right? Maybe you just need to update your radio (latest is 1.03). Look for it in the radio/modem collection thread.

You are using nexus 4 and cm11 . Do you have this problem ? ( Turn back the factory image is last thing i want to do. )
No, I dont and that is whats strange. Maybe flashing a new radio is the solution, but the radios should be imcluded in the update...

I saw you posted in the modem collection thread, so you should have the right .zip file (the link for 1.03 is in a couple of posts above yours in that thread). Well, just flash it from recovery.

Well, I suggest you to backup your current rom and try a clean install of CM (In recovery, do a factory reset, wipe system, dalvik and cache, then flash rom and gapps again) to see if it works. If not, do as @CCody said and flash full stock firmware.
Also, look the CM thread to see if there other users with this problem.

There is no way around full wipe. Do a nandroid backup over adb and try different roms out.

By the ive tried different methods already using android terminal and odin(versions 3.09, 3.07).

i didnt notice when it all started. i just noticed it just recently when i needed a bluetooth connectivity. will you help me troubleshoot it? is there a need for a log for it? im still trying to flash the modem and non-hlos files through different versions of odin.
I will try to flash a AOSP or CM based ROM.. i just tried re-flashing recently to fix the issue by flashing TW based.

if you can provide log it would be awesome but you better flash stock ROM it would be better.
I have the exact same issue, but i have to mention that the problem started randomly (my father had the phone and suddenly bluetooth wont work anymore on stock rom)
I tried flashing even with .PIT file but still doesnt help.
If anyone got the solution or possible fixes please reply to this thread so me and other users can see it !

From your 1st image AP: XXUGNG8 and CP: XXUFNBE (modem). So, modem didn't updated. You must flash the NG8 GSM/NON-HLOS modems the right way. Check it here wifi-not-going-on-i9505-flashing-custom-room.

yeah, i was using gng8 build of goldeneye. i will try this. later.. im waiting to have my battery full again before flashing.. i also find it that the it randomly turns on the bluetooth so i drains my battery as well. it's giving me a hard time even though i have power bank i took some time to charge.
I am currently on stock GNG4 build.. as well as my modem and non-hlos are non the same build.. i will try later to flash the bootloader of the same build if this will fix it.. crossing fingers. I will let you know guys once done for the results

Hi mates,
Kindly see attached logcat file that i extracted and filtered only with blue keyword using catlog app.
From your CatLog: BluetoothAdapterState(21311): Error enabling Bluetooth - hardware init failed
=> BT service failed to start. I suggest you
1) Try to update the GSM/HLOS modem
2) Try to update the boot loader (BL)
3) Test another kernel; I suggest the excellent KT-SGS4
4) Using a BuildProp editor, change this property "ro.securestorage.support" to false; this solves Wi-Fi not going on problems (blocked by knox), managed by this same modem code.
BTW: did you removed Knox? Is your phone knox void?

Thanks mate for your suggestion.. i already did try to flash GSM/HLOS modem as well as with the wifi fix. I've been using KT kernel ever since as I find it more stable. Even if i used GoldenEye latest build it's knox free and i already have tripped my knox counter. for your recommendation of updating the bootloader.. should i use the latest one even if it's still not available on my region? or should i use the latest one present on my region? (btw im on GLB/SIN CSC).

I checked this (Samsung Updates - Region/?region=GLB) and seems XXUGNG4 is the last firmware for SIN. You can try XXUGNG8 / DBT stock or GoldenEye. BTW: I´m on O2C/DBT CSC. It seems that DBT (German) is allways the first released firmware. I´ve got in troubles with this XXUGNG4 version. See full story here. Good luck.

Ok i will try it.. im still worried on the latest builds though. as there are possible issues that may arise. and it's in its premature phase,
Im currentl on NG4 bootloader and modem but on NG8 Goldeneye rom with KTkernel. Still bluetooth feature not working and phone heats up too much with battery drain. This week i will be purchasing a battery. My battery seems to be a bit bloated, but not too much. It may be a battery problem.

[Q] Signal lost after screen goes dark

I installed CM 12.1 with gapps on my S4, problem is when my screen goes dark(when pressing power button once or automaticly after 5mins) my signal is gone. When rebooting phone the signal is back or if I quicly do airplane mode on and then off again the signal is also back. So basicly I only have signal when the screen is on and not turned off at any point.
Tried flashing another rom but had same problem, any idea's what it could be?

[I9505] Wi-fi issue with HOH2 baseband

Hello guys, I have flashed custom ROM based on HOH2 and I also have modem of same firmware, my wi-fi was working fine and it suddenly stopped working during use, Wi-Fi networks are detecting okay, but it doesn't connect with it at all, it does connect sometimes, and provides internet for sometimes, but after a while internet stops working, when I turn off and on again, it just doesn't connect with the wifi network. Is it known issue with HOH2 base & I will need to flash a modem fix or something? Or you are sensing hardware issue?
P.S I always used my phone with care, don't know what happened to the wifi while I was browsing, I hope it's not hardware fault and known issue with this base. Also this issue is on CM ROM as well as I checked, so only doubt is Hardware issue or baseband related?
Does anyone have the solution or I have to repair it?

Do a wipe data/factory reset from recovery.
Baseband doesn't affect wifi (Wifi relies on Kernel). Baseband is used by RIL. Have you tried Uzair40's suggestion ?
I downgraded completely to GN2 KitKat firmware through a tutorial and edited firmware posted here, and WiFi is working fine with it, i then upgraded to lollipop again and the problem reappeared (OH2 baseband/Kernel/Bootloader), so i switched back to GN2 again. Guess what, i think my device don't want me to upgrade anymore :/

what i would do now is :
- flash HOH2 without auto-reboot in ODIN
- reboot manualy in download mode
- flash HOH2 again with auto-reboot in ODIN
- let the rom completely boot
- reboot in recovery and do the factory reset
if you have the time, try this. If it dosen't work, try flashing another Kernel (Kushan, Hulk, or another TW compatible one..)
I have tried all of the mentioned kernels and most importantly
