4.4.2 problem s - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

1. Why did so many apps disappear?
2. Why is home WiFi "unstable" Internet connection ?
FYI OTA upDate worked on safe root

If you're talking about personal apps you should reboot the phone. They will reappear. For WiFi I've had no real issues. Just spent the weekend at my cousins house and I wasnt disconnected at all.

I forget the actual name of the setting but look for something like "smart mode" under WiFi settings as well as avoid poor connections and turn both of those off. See if that helps you at all. Did for me

Yes I got that also a couple of times. The signal is completely gone and then comes back.
Mobile is also OK. It has a stronger signal then my iPhone 5.

Made a thread about this. The wifi in this phone sucks. I think it has something to do with the wifi quality check before it connects. Any apk I can delete so it doesnt check the quality and just connects
It happened to me last night too. On the screen with the list of available wifi networks about every 5 seconds it would cycle from seeing all of the nearby ones, to saying my remembered network was not in range, even though the router is about 10 feet away. A reboot took care of it, and my wifi has been very solid since then, much better than my old Evo 4g LTE.
Yep mine does it but if you go on where the wifi scans, menu button and advanced and there's a option along the lines of check quality. I unchecked that and it's been fine all day...

Happens to me too and my 3G seems to be very slow.
Haven't had this problem before with other mobiles...

I have the AT&T version and my wifi has been great, I have wiped and flashed the stock firmware back a few times tho. They may have something to do with it.
yeah how to get rid of the wifi quality check.. also problematic when it detects the wifi if the internet is slow or not.. sometime we dont need it to check if the internet is slow or not we just want to connect

Wi-Fi problems on cyanogenmod on samsung Galaxy s4

I have the canadienne version of the Samsung Galaxy s4 (sgh-i337m ) running on cyanogenmod. I've been getting problems connecting to wifi on it. My LTE is working fine but not wifi. When I go on Google Chrome with the wifi it's working. But not when I go to YouTube, Facebook, email, etc. I tried changing the host name but still nothing. I also notice that the wifi is normally blue and sometimes Grey but now it's only Grey. Can someone help me?

I think it's the rom. For sure Wi-Fi and cell are grey. Mine's like that too but no big deal because everything works. Not sure why you're having problems on the other apps though.

Wi-Fi Lost!

Out of the blue I've lost my Wi-Fi capability on my S4.
I've restarted & turned off the phone to no avail. My phone shows up on my router's control panel as active as well as a couple of apps I have.
I've also forgot the connection & reentered all necessary info. Mobile connectivity is fine but as soon as I switch Wi-Fi back on, no tweets, FB notifications, etc.
Suggestions, ideas? TX

Are you on stock rom? Do other devices work on your wifi

I don't want you to root either. It sounds like to me that it's a hardware issue with your phone.
Well, even though my router gave all indications that it was picking up the phone I tried a hunch. Rebooted the router & Wi-Fi is back!

Wife Tether issue

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone else had issues with a Windows 7 laptop detecting the note 3 standard wifi hotspot. I have tried secure and open settings on the app, as well as updating drivers on the laptop, but it still doesn't even see it when the hotspot is enabled. Oh, I'm stock rooted and not SS on mj7.
Rocking tha big boy note 3
Go to Settings > More Settings > Mobile Hot spot, press Configure, scroll down and check "Advanced Settings," scroll down and make sure the band selection is 2.4 Ghz and not 5 Ghz. Some Wi-Fi cards don't see the 5 Ghz.

I tether my wife all the time. I've tried unpairing her but she remains tethered. It makes it very inconvenient when I go out drinking.
I've looked at options for a hard reset but damn.....that's expensive.

Wifi issues do I need to switch while I still can

I just got the s4 and its total stock but it keeps dropping on and off wifi. In fact in settings it sometimes says I have poor wifi conection. But I know my router is good and my wifes g2 has no problems. I read online there is alot of issues sinve the 4.3 update and even after the patch. I also read samsung is not going to do anything there blaming sprint or your wifi. Should I switch to the g2 while I still can or hold out for a fix or does anyone know a fix?

Also it took 4 hours to set up phone. Most was the crazy slow download of apps from play store and updates from play store. Small apps would take 10 minutes to download then about 5 to install while on my wifes g2 same app same time downloaded and installed in under a minute

WiFi switching on and off is probably under wifi settings. Just turn it off and it will stop switching on and off.

I tried that even did the ##code to get into WiFi and turn off WiFi saver. Nothing worked and then it started saying no mobile data connection but I was on lte and it worked. Plus I was getting that Knox problem so I just went to the g2. Thanks though
