Wifi works then stops - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I wiped the system .. Installed the stock rooted rom then installed the kernel with wifi fix right away... Everything works perfect for about 24 hours exact and then the wifi breaks and stops working so I have to restore my phone and lose everything every 24 hours... Is there a better way to do this cuz it's kinda sucking

Restore your phone why? WiFi is a kernel controlled thing, odds are a complete restore is never necessary with connection issues. I know of nothing in a ROM that directly affects your WiFi connections. I would say worst case scenario reflash your kernel when it "breaks". Note importantly, I would get a fresh download of your kernel and baseband and re install.

??What??
What recovery?
What 'stock rooted' ROM?
What Kernel?
What WiFi Fix?
and HOW on each of those?
Then why reflash whole ROM.
What baseband (radio/modem) are you on?

[Q] Stock rom 2.3.4 - BT Problems

hello all,
i have updated to 2.3.4 jvp from js3 telenor
all is fine, battery usage is much much better, no laggs, and no FC/FR..
i have turned on the bluetooth once set the name, and turned it off....
after i rooted and brought backups back,i cant use BT anymore. it just stands and turning on for a min or two, and than goes to TURNED OFF state...
update on the issue: i have recently de-odexed the phone, and the BT worked fine again for the first 3-4 initializations and than it hangs again in the way described above.
any help? any ideas?
i'm willing to try loading a custom modem or kernel to the phone to see if it helps, but as im new to this and didnt quite find the info im looking for. browsing for hours, (and i did ask in some threads to no avail.)
Will loading a custom modem/kernel wipe my data?
is there a solution perhaps?
ty again in advance
Edit: sorry wrong post
You're probably using a custum kernel.
Revert to stock kernel and BT will work
Or you can try my modified stock kernel where BT works fine
i think it is a custom kernel, as it came with CWM. Could it be the CWM thats causing this ?
is ur modified stock kernel rooted?
i would hate to loose cwm backup functions , can it be installed after?
and most important question: Will loading a custom modem/kernel wipe my data?
EDIT: just saw this in CWM
Current Kernel: CF-Root 3.7
There have been problems with CF-Root kernel and Bluetooth. I had the exact same thing.
Take a look at the CF-Root thread

EI22 wifi randomly drops and silmultaneous wifi and 3g

This problem has plagued me both on stock EI22 and on the CleanGB rom.
Several times a minute, while using wifi for any activity (internet, im, market) the wifi will drop for a few seconds and then reconnect.
I have also had both 3g and wifi simultaneously on (at least both icons are showing in the notification bar) until I turn one of them off.
This is very frustrating and I don't know what to do. I have tried assigning a static IP and no improvements thus far. Wifi sleep policy is set to never. I have tried the EI22, EH17, and EC05 modems and the problem persists. The problem only appeared when I upgraded to EI22 (odin to EC05 and applied update). Wifi worked perfectly under EC05. I have other devices that are connected to wifi and they work perfectly.
I would appreciate any help or advice.
Try the kernel from IAP in my signature.
You can also boot into recovery and wipe data, partition cache and dalvik and then setup your apps again. I know that has helped other with the same issue.
Its a pain, but often if you restore data it causes strange issues.
I had that problem and flashed a new kernel and it fixed it I think I'm using the samauri overclock kernel now , I'm not using the overclock or undervolt but its working great for me

I tried booting into recovery, wiping data, partition cache and davlik cache, and upon rebooting and connecting to wifi, the problem immediately persisted.
I tried odin to EC05, update to EI22, and immediately connecting to wifi and it still has the problem.
I don't understand. From a fresh EC05, there is no problem with wifi. Upon upgrading to EI22, it breaks.
I would really like to stay as stock as possible without having a different kernel. But this problem makes doing anything over wifi very frustrating.
Edit: I have tried your kernel and yes it has solved the problem, but do you have any idea on why this solves it? What does it change that is different from the stock kernel that fixes the problem with wifi? Thanks.
I'm having this issue with nubekernal v2. Pretty annoying

I'm having the same problem. First under stock EI22 and now ACS ICS v5. It works fine though when I'm at work with a G router but constantly drops at home with an N router. Worked fine on stock Froyo. Sure would be nice to track this down.

The only thing I have found that thus far fixes the problem is by running the IAP Kernel. I'd prefer not to be running it and would rather stay stock, but I cannot live with the wifi disconnecting all the time.
On the plus side though, I really have not noticed any changes by running the IAP Kernel on top of CleanGB. That is, it has fixed the problem and everything still looks the same.
I think it isn't really the kernel's fault, but rather wifi flakes out when running your first ei22 kernel after flashing from ec05. It seems that flashing any kernel after upgrading to ei22 fixed it here. I can't explain it.

The problem returns if I flash the CleanGB Kernel back. Like you, I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the CleanGB Kernel, but it is a mostly stock kernel (from what I've read) and thus it behaves like the stock kernel in that I still experience the problem.

[Q] Help me pls, no phone signal

Ok, I was running PA 4 Beta3 but was having problems with the screen delay so thought I would completly wipe my phone, fresh install PA and install the mini Gapps (I had prev installed the stock but didnt want all the apps)
Here is where it started to go wrong, Phone would not start ptopery, would get past animation screen but that was it, would then just crash with small date in corner.
Wiped and flashed just the Rom and this also failed.
Wiped and installed 3.99 and this seem to work but then the wizard crashed and I had to power down.
Booted back up into recovery and dirty flashed Beta 3 again and this seemed ok. Flashed Stock Gapps and rebooted.
All apps have installed again, titanium back has been run but I still have no network what so ever.,
If i go into settings, more, vpn, mobile networks I get 'unfortunately settings has stopped'.
I have dirty flashed again but still have same problem.
I cant do a complete wipe and install again as need to get out of the office, however with the prev problems I had I am weary about doing so.
Can anyone shed any light on any of the issues i had at all?

Sounds like a radio issue. If you are running 3.99, you need the radio for 4.3 which I do believe 3.99 is based on. You need the radio for KitKat when running the new betas.

This is the easiest way to flash a new radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607221
If you went up to a 4.4 based rom and it changed your radio to .97 or .98 then you'll need to flash back to a .84 or before.
to go back to 4.3.
I think I basically said that. Sometimes I believe in not holding hands and let the guy/gal do some of the, legwork.

Thank you every one. I have reverted back to my recovery and all is well but I don't understand why when I flash the ROM ad gapps it happens. My recovery is the same ROM and gapps. No idea.
Oh well stuck with the screen delay for now!

Hi mate, thanks for this. I have reflashed my phone again and still have the same problem. My baseband is showing as 84 though s that is correct?
EDIT, dont worry a reboot has fixed this issue. Odd.
Thanks again though.

Wifi not turning on i9505 after flashing custom rom

Hello guys, after I flashed a custom rom my phone went into a bootloop. I decided to flash stock , via odin. After I flashed the stock rom for my region (open european) I got many FC messages , the phone was unusable.
I started digging and flashing roms. Now I have i9505xxugng8 which is a nordic country rom.
When I try to open wifi , the button gets green for one second but then it stays deactivated.
1. Tried to remove battery
2.Tried to delete the wpa_supplicant.conf file from /data/misc/wifi or /system/etc/wifi
3.Tried the non-hos bin.
Nothing worked. I'm desperate.

Try this steps
1. Rooted ! Open root explorer > System > Build.prop change this in the build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true TO ro.securestorage.support=false Save , Reboot
2. Either flash a diff kernel.
Have a nice day.
Hello repulsa, i Tried your method but it didn't work
It may be a hardware problem? But I've never dropped it
Tried hard reset?

I think you should fully wipe in the custom recovery before flashing the stock rom with Odin.

i might try this however.. im having trouble with the bluetooth and not on the wifi toggle/module. are you using the M9 build or the nightlies?
The Wi-Fi problem is knox related , I don t think switching go cm11 would solve the Bluetooth problem.
Now I'm using the latest version of miui and works well.

I also have this problem. Went from CM11 to stock (GF was supposed to use the phone and preferred stock...).
And now, no wifi, tried most things, checked build.prop, deleted wpa_supplicant, pulled battery, cleared cache.
Nothing works.
I'd be ok with going back to CM11, but the S-View cover won't work with it.
Any more ideas?

I don't think this is your problem, but just to put this out there in case other people stumble upon the thread....
This can be caused by using a custom kernel in a CM11 based ROM that was built after about August 3rd (give or take a few days)
CM changed the way the Wifi and data are managed by the kernel. So older customer kernels aren't compatible.

Booted to recovery, wiped data and cache, booted straight to Download mode, flashed stock rom, booted straight to recovery, wiped data and cache again, booted, profit.
Wi-Fi not going on / bootloops (SOLVED)

1) Flash Wifi fix/NON-HLOS from this post. See here how to flash a modem.
2) Solved those FC / Bootloops problem flashing that KT-SGS4 Kernel.
3) See here how my same Wi-Fi / Bootlop problems were all solved.

Might be that the WiFi antenna got disconnected. Or it completely broke.

I don't know. But when something worked fine before and then, for no reason, stops working, then it might be the result of a hardware problem.

sometimes I click on 'hotspot' and it turns off wifi
so I play with this..
turn on hotspot turn it off, then reboot the device and then wifi is working for like 10min and automatically tuns off and it stars again..
its barely working thats why I thought it might be system error.

System error should disappear when you flash another ROM.
Did you clean flash or dirty flash?
Also, if the problem persists I suggest flashing a stock ROM (clean flash) and see if it fixes Wi-Fi.
