[Q] Phone freeze sometimes using Wifi after flashing Play Edition Rom - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I am new to xda.
I have searched the forum and could not find someone with similar problems.
I have flashed a 4.4.2 google play edition rom (tried both jamal and danvdh). It works like a charm, but when on wifi my phone occasionally freezes. The freeze happens after a while and most of the times when I try to unlock phone. Sometimes the phone is just very slow and other times it is just frozen, where I have to hard reboot it. When on wifi for the whole day the freeze often comes two times during a day.
I am new to flashing roms, and don't know if flashing a new modem will make it work. If I revert back to stock rom, will the wifi then also give problems?
The ideal solution would be to keep the play edition rom as I enjoy that the most.
Hope you guys can help me out.

Did you tried to wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache &wipe dalvik cache ?

I have already tried that

[Q] Miui Problem

Hey guys,
First i want to say i did use the search tool to try and find my answer, but had no luck. Two days ago i updated to Miui 2.3.30 and since then i been having wifi problems and random restarts. If i turn wifi on it doesn't find anything any more and the phone crashes. After that it keeps restarting until i remove the battery.I tried previous miui builds but the same problem happened after using the phone for about 10 minutes. I also tried other roms that were not miui, on those i dont get the resarting problem, but wifi will keep turning off and on. Is there any fix for this? I love miui roms

Have you tried a full wipe? 9 out of 10 times this will fix problems.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I did a full wipe every time. By full wipe i mean : wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.... I read in some threads that maybe is the kernel, but i have no idea about. Any help appreciated .
Kernal certainly could be the problem, dig through the development forum for that Rom and see what others are using as their Kernal. Try that and if it doesn't work provide us with more details
Alright, i looked around it and one of the users said he used DARKSIDE v12 kernel. I flashed it, but still have the problem. I also notice that if i turn airplane mode on none of the problems happen. It works perfectly on airplane mode. Also if i flash the rom and never try to turn wifi on it won't crash. If i try to turn wifi on the phone will keep crashing until i turn airplane mode on or reflash the rom. I am using a mytouch 4g with miui 2.3.30.
airplane mode is disabling everything you would have broken, so no problems would appear.
I'm running Darkside-v12-cm7+ from thederekjay. 2.6.34.14 and I'm not having any problems.
I was running some other kernel the other day and a bunch of things weren't working

Try to format system and data and then wipe delvic and them factory reset before flashing the rom. That is a true full wipe. You can't have issues if the rom doesn't format those partitions properly upon rom flash.
I got it to work !! Thank you guys for the help, i appreciate it. What i did was i clicked all the wipe options on recovery mode except battery and flashed an old miui i had. After it started i just left it there for like 3 minutes( didn't click anything) and restart it. This time i tried wifi and it worked. Turn it off and on a couple of times and it worked fine.

[Q] [HELP]My defy doesnt like CM10 :(

Hey friends!
I am using Mb526 for quite a while now.I am having a strange problem of signal freezing within 10-30minutes of booting the phone, cm9 was fine.. but as soon as i switched to cm10 there is a strange problem that the signal bars freeze/there is no outgoing call/the data packet doesnt work and in this case, nothing helps to get it back to working except a complete reboot. this happens suddenly and is self triggered at any point of time because of which i miss important calls and messages. i have tried to do the following
1)set the governor to conservative at default clock settings.(someone suggested this)
2)removed phone.apk and all its associated apk's from HWA's settings
Is there a patch for this? ive tried installing jellybean kernel too(in MIG edition rom but it gives me another problem that the signal is off). please someone help my poor defy :'(
Are you wiping everything (cache, dalvik, data and system) pre flashing?
Try flashing a wipe script.(search for it, it basically wipes everything for you. You have to be careful to use a script that does not wipe your sd card as well)

Have you tried going back to CM9 to see if everything works as before? That way you can rule out a hardware problem.

Have you tried with all the different basebands? This was what worked for me when I was having a problem with no incoming calls. There is a baseband changer app in Play.
If that doesn't work - Since flashing a different kernel is getting you a different problem maybe you should try various kernels. One of them might work.

[H] Can't call and answer to anybody.

Hi guys.
What should I do, if my major function of the phone doesn't work?
When I try to call somebody, phone hangs (can't see even screen with options of the call), but it is actually calling.
It's weird to have this not working at all.
Tried reinstalling rom, installing other roms. Still the same. I did format to everything what's on my phone.
Help!

You need to give more information than that inorder for us to help you , are you using 4.3 custom/stock ? check youre baseband version, and check what kind of bootloader do you have (To check your bootloader go to download mode and if you have a KNOX WARRANTY VOID then you are having the new bootloader.

Oh I'm sorry.
Now I'm using Phoenix V.7 rom. It is 4.3 touchwiz rom. I tried other roms also (4.4.2 - 4.4 - 4.3 - 4.2)
My baseband version is XXUEMK8 (today I thought about modem problem, so I installed XXUEMK8 instead od XXUEMKF, which is recommended for Phoenix rom. The same on both modems) New bootloader.

[Q] PSX & PLSX - GMail Crashes Every Time Launched

Hey all,
Cant figure this one out, but starting two days ago, with no changes to the phone, Gmail just started crashing every time I opened it. I tried, clearing cache, data, uninstall/reinstall, all the standards, then last night finally flashed PLSX and the newest Gapps...which didnt solve the problem either.
Any ideas?
thanks!

Have you tried to flash another ROM to see if you still have same issue? What is the version of ROM that you had flashed? Kitkat or Jelly Bean?

Went from PSX -> PLSX with no change, then flashed Purity and everything works again. Strange.

So thats a PSX -> PLSX specific issue. You could ask the dev for the resolution.
I read that PSX -> PLSX have ART as default but I have also read Gmail is compatible with ART. So this might be a ROM specific issue.

[Q] Why does my Wifi & Bluetooth not working even with stock rom?

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 (i9500). I installed Omega ROM v22 on it and everything went smoothly, Wifi & BT working perfectly.
After a few hours of using the device (nothing special at all, texts and stuff like that) - I noticed my wifi isn't working and by not working I mean that I click the wi-fi button and it changes from gray to the mid-state between gray to green for around 20 seconds before it goes back to green ago.
If I open the menu to see my networks it just says "Enabling" without any networks there.
I had to drive somewhere so I went to my car and tried to enable Bluetooth, and same thing happens there - Bluetooth will not turn on and will stay stuck on mid-state between gray and green for a while and go back to green.
I flashed omega rom v22 again and the problem was gone, or so I thought. I went back to the car for another drive and realized the bluetooth issue is back - and when I got home I realized the wifi issue is back as well.
I figured I need to reset everything so I tried the following:
Full wipe (including dalvik and even including "internal SD card") and then flashing stock rom (from the official website, stock rom of my country).
The issue was back after a few hours. I do not have BT or Wifi access. Yesterday Wifi suddenly started working for a few hours but then it stopped working again.
I really need help! I have no idea what to do with this issue!
Well rule number one when you have problems after flashing without wipe.
1. perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists.

Tried that, no luck.
What else would you try?
In some places when people had problems with Wi-Fi they said to flash a different kernel but I don't see why I would have this specific issue with Omega Rom and why the default kernel with it wont work well?
Maybe this could be a root issue? My root works fine but I have this weird gut feeling like this is some permissions thing that's going on.
I'm trying to think why it would work right after the wipe but then stop working shortly after.
Another symptom: It randomly started working for a few minutes and then stopped again (around three hours ago).
Any idea what's going on?
Well, if you fully wiped and didn't restore any apps and settings then it can be two other things.
Or it's a bug in the rom or a hardware failure in your phone.
I would suggest trying a different rom first. Do not restore anything, not even your google account.
wi-fi fix?
Do you actually have an i9505? or is it a canadian or att version? if its the latter sometimes the devs offer some wifi-fixes, also try a different kernel. otherwise it could be that your radio/modem are not compatible with the version of the ROM you are flashing.
Tried arrow ROM and this issue doesn't seem to happen in this rom. Hope it stays like that...

Sadly, it did happen with this rom, after just a few hours.
I'm now using stock rom and still suffering from the issue.
Does anyone have ANY idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
