I9505 No Sound, Cant Make Calls Or Receive

Hi.
I have a problem with my device.
Recently i try-d to flash miui v5 from:
miuiandroid_jfltexx_jb-3.9.13.zip md5sum: 7c097742b0f84b1ea5ab39acd5b56dc3
After i made wipe data, syste, preload flash failed, so i made another one and it succeeded.
After reboot i saw only greenish android logo which went nowhere.
So i tried third time with philz recovery and it booted up.
And then there was no sound at all.
Then i wiped data and flashed back stock firmware:
I9505XXUAMDM
After that no sound, no wifi and no calling.
Well then i tried older firmware-s.
And now i just tried latest cm10.2 21.09.2013
Well wifi started to work again, but no sound.
Tried calling, but app just freezes and i cant heare anything.
I am just wondering that how wifi just started working again?
Maybe sound and calling can be fixed somehow similar way.
Kristjan

Pls help, i have same problem, tried several rom not ok, when make call then phone freezes.

nop, just noticed that problem is related only in sounds.
calling crashes just because cant somehow andoid cant use speakers

also found error useing logcat:
getDeviceForStrategy() speaker device not found"

somehow i managed to get emergency download before boot up.
intructions said to start up kies and start recovery from there.
well did that, entered model and s/n and it flashed newest firmware and now its fully working again

got same problem yesterday after updating to latest omega... no sound at all, tried doing restore, tried again full wipe, tried changing kernels, after that tried different roms - no success, sound is lost somehow.
problem was resolved only after flashing through Odin 3.09 NEE firmware I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.

Omega rom killed my sounds!

I will try one last time to install Omega v12 before I revert to stock that you mentioned....very disapointed...S4 is such a buggy crap bag
Still love omega rom and everyones effort tho...
OK sound is back after flashing thru odin 3.04 - I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar.....but I am now going to try flashing omega v12 with cwm recovery instead of twrp and see if that makes any diff or just breaks again!
OK!!!! I flashed via odin - CWM recovery 6.0.3.2 and then flashed the omega v12 zip without wiping in CWM but allowing aroma to do the work for me. And I HAVE SOUND and CALLS and no crashes thus far...Hope this helps anyone out there.

[Q] [AOSP] Broken telephone feature

Guys, everytime I flashed an AOSP based Rom like Carbon on my hltexx, nobody can call me and I also can't call someone else. If I dial a number, the connection seems to break instantly but my mom told me, she got my calls but didn't hear anything. I'm also unable to change or view the access points.
Stock based Roms like Omega work correctly.
WTF am I doing wrong? :crying:
Additional Infos:
>SMS and Internet work.
>3G because my provider (Drei, Austria) is retarded.
>Android 4.4.2
>restoring an old EFS backup didn't solve the problem
>APN seems to be correct

Have you tried a custom kernel like temaseks kernel?

Not yet. I'll flash CM now and try a few kernels and will post the results later.
Btw here is one with the same problem.

I tried some kernels for hltexx, but everything I got was bootloops or a starting system with the same problem ;_;

Have you ever Flashed a newer rom(Sammy official) or updated your modem firmware?

Yes, I updated from 4.3 to 4.4.2 via odin and used the stock images for my provider. Everything worked as it should, only aosp roms had problems.
A few days ago I installed PAC again after flashing the newest stock .tar.md5 and tried the whole evening many different configurations in apn and other connection related settings. Nothing worked and i restored them all. On the next day I got a call. I couldn't explain it, but i was able to start phone calls too. With just one problem: When I call someone I lose the control over the whole Touchscreen and the buttons, so the only way to end a conversation is a hard reset via holding the power button.
I'm not sure, but I have the theory that the RIL file isn't compatible to the modem. Where can I find some RILs?
Another strange fact is, that everytime I flashed an AOSP, i formated the device via TWRP to erase all the bloatware and then made a full wipe. But last week I forgot to format the storage. Guys, was I really everytime this stupid and simply wiped the RIL partition away?

Model number?
Firmware you have upgraded to (4.4.2)?
Tried changing recovery, Wipe System, wipe cache, data, then flash the ROM fresh. boot into it, head to Settings > about and check if you have lost Baseband and/or Serial Number/IMEI - then we'll figure it out for you

Sorry for answering so late. Changing every password after heartbleed took much time.
My model number is SM-9005
Even with a CWM based recovery and after a wipe with a complete reinstall I get the same problem.
IMEI and Baseband (N9005XXUENB1) are still here.

Can't enable the WiFi on i9505 on 4.4.2

Community,
I would really appreciate some help with my S4 WiFi issue which is killing me for about 8 weeks. I have tried like everything i could find on the internet, but i cant find a solution that works for me. Time to hookup in the XDA and hoping for that one magic trick. I'm a little experienced and really no moaner or lazy technician, but i can't find any solution. Things i have tried:
- Battery removal while the phone is on.
- Slapping the phone on the backside.
- Reseating WiFi cable after removing the grey back from the phone.
- Editing build.prop
- Editing/removing WPA-SUPLLICANT file.
- Factory reset.
- Numerous of other ROMS.
- Uploaded the new Modem file, nothing worked.
- Tried to downgrade to 4.3, but it seems once your on 4.4.2, there is no way back.
- Disabling WiFi in Service Mode.
- Tried the "WiFi Fixer" App.
None of them seem to work in my case. Any suggestions you guys have to help a brother out?

Try to do a factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache partition via a recovery and then flash the official rom again (obviously the flashing part is done with odin).
Hope this helps, let me know if not.

Did this before, except the Dalvik cache, since i don't have the option in the recovery menu. Yes the flashing is done with Odin. Any idea how to get rid of the Dalvik cache another way?

Hi mate ,
What rom do you have , stock or custom ?
I see you tried a lot of things , Wifi is kernel controlled what kernel you have , did you tried a different kernel?
when you said "Disabling WiFi in Service Mode." you mean using the dial code *#0011#?

I'm currently using i9505XXUGNG2, but i have tried NK4 and NJ8 just to remember some of them. Tried around 20 different ones, but none of them work. The NK4 worked for like 5 minutes, but then i came back to the same old %!#@$. Download are all from samfirmware, so i think they are stock? I have used customs roms in the past, when i owned a S3, but can't find any ones i can flash with Odin for S4. Should i try with an custom rom? And you know where to find them?

Well in principle the stock rom should be better , unmanipulated if you will , if the problem is present wit a stock rom is most likely it will be present in a custom rom
When it first showed this problem? , similar problems happen when you have a bootloader / modem mismatch
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50787570&postcount=2549
when using custom kernels sometimes too but if you are stock that is not the case
You could try a different modem ( check page 1 of the post i gave you) , also did you try switching the power save mode of the wifi off (*#0011#)??

That is from a stock rom.
After all you have done and if you tried different roms I start to believe it may be hardware related, i was going to suggest to try a different kernel but in a way you already had .....
When the problem first showed up? , if you scan for wifi networks can you see then? what happen when you try to connect? you said when you had NK4 it worked for five minutes.....did you try it again and see if it works again even if only for 5 minutes??

I can't enable WiFi. By drop down and through settings. What happens is that the WiFi button lights up, like it's trying to enable the WiFi card, but fails after a couple of seconds, no error code is displayed. Scan is greyed out. I have got it working on NK4 for 5 minutes yes, and then it broke again. Already tried the exactly same rom again, but no success.
The problem showed up couple of weeks ago. Not directly after the upgrade to 4.4.2. But after a couple of days after the upgrade through OTA.

In case you might suspects it is an hardware issue, i might let it resolve by the Samsung store in my city, since it still has warranty.

[GT-I9505] Screen Rotation problem (Lollipop Stock Rom)

I updated lately to the latest Lollipop rom (I9505XXUHOD7 DBT & I9505XXUHOE1 SIO) and all go perfect here less the screen rotation. I mean the toggle is actived but no works (I tried in Gallery and QuickPic app). I'm not a noob flashing ROMs and custom ROMS and YES:
1. Wiped data/Factory reset my device before install Lollipop.
2. I downgraded to android 4.4.2 and the Screen Rotation works perfectly.
3. Dialing *#1234# all seems correct.
4. Do you have the same problem?.
5. Ty for your help :fingers-crossed:.

Strange issue you are having. It's unclear to me if you also wiped the /system partition. That would my place to start.

What about custom roms?
Mostly it's caused by hardware problems. It's maybe worth to see if the connector is still at it's place or maybe dirty. Even if it works in 4.4.2.

[Q] Video recording and video codec problems

I have an extremely persistent set of problems:
1. Unable to record video
- stock camera freezes and the phone restarts (no matter the resolution or storage)
- other camera apps (mx, open, google..) either freezes or acts like its recording but it doesn't
2. While playing some videos, the phone freezes and restarts (in 90% its instagram videos, but sometimes it plays them fine)
What i tried:
- a bunch of roms. The problems probably started with some of them.
- returned to a stock lolipop
- several custom and stock kernels
- a bunch of camera apps
Currently i'm on Audax rom v26.1 with its audax kernel.
Does anyone have idea what could i try?
Could it be a hardware problem? (other than that, camera works fine)
Thanks in advance.

So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.
So I tried to flash the latest stock lolipop with Odin and marking checked (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update).
I suspect that the Phone EFS clear did the trick. It's function is related to the modem and radio of the phone. And clearly the modem has a problem here.
I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.
This problem happened after trying to flash lollipop using FlashFire app to reserve the root that I had in my previos Android KK 4.4.2.

Hi there,
Sorry, but did not face any issue like that before.
If you have searched a lot for a solution and could not solve it, I suggest that you install this ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/purify-cm-13-hlte-n9005-unofficial-cm13-t3337234
This happened to me once after a terrible mistake , which is not related to my above issue. Then I installed this ROM and never looked back. Much snappier phone, lower battery usage and less heated device. I just love it. The only thing that I missed, the better camera app in the stock ROM, and the TouchWiz ability to show multiple apps at the same time.
I strongly suggest that you do a Nandroid backup then give this ROM a try. If you did not like it, you can always return to the Nandroid backup again.
You are frustrated now, like I was. Take a deep breath, and remember that we all went through such bad times with our phone, not just you. This is part of the experience of using such complicated devices. You will solve it eventually, believe me!
