Are there any updates for the antennas on the s4 ?
Like modems? If so NAE is the most up to date

Like fan mentioned if you are talking about the modems NO there are no new updates.

When you say "modems", is that a reference to the physical voice/data receivers/transmitters? Or their software? Or something else completely?

Years ago my computer had a modem to modulate my signal onto a carrier to connect over a phone line. It then demodulated (modem) the information it received in return.
Strange to see that term used to refer to our phone operating system. Well, at least it still works with a phone.
could this antenna issue result in my wifi not working correctly although im on 4.2.2 mf9

I believe it's 2 different antennas, one for phone signal and one for WiFi. So any issue related to the phone antenna will likely not cause issues with WiFi and vice versa.
What rom are you running and are you rooted

Sounds like it is time for a call to Sprint and make them fix it. What I would do if not rooted.

If your network was unstable you wouldnt be able to get any signal at all but it wouldnt make your phone reboot. Have you tried factory reseting your phone??

Whatever is going on its in the kernel i flashed the MDB kernel and everything is working perfectly the only problem im having know is my phone says custom software.

Dude you ain't the only one. The MF9 update has been a major pain the @$$ for a lottt of people. I wonder if Sprint is working on a new update. Hopefully push it out before the end of September. Although I am really liking MF9, I am probably in the minority. My device is smooth as hell and great battery life. Just yesterday I went 20hrs with 3hrs of on screen time!
Im having a similar problem. Random reboots when data is connected. I first thought it was the connection in my area that was causing the problem to (NV just started in Cleveland) until I encountered reboots while on WiFi. It doesn't matter what app I'm using as long is it uses the internet connection my phone may freeze vibrate two to three times then reboot. I even reapplied the MF9 update and the same problem exist.
I'm completely stock!
Thank You Based God!

We must be lucky. I keep reading about all these issues, but MF9 had been awesome for me. Not a single problem, and definitely much better than MDL.

+1 on that. Been on MF9 stock rooted since I got the phone a couple weeks ago and all has been well. I wonder if it could be a hardware issue mixed with something thats in the MF9 update. Sound crazy to anyone?

Yeah it looks like it is for sure the MF9 kernel I flashed mdl kernel and everything is good on that kernel. As soon as I odin mf9 and connect to data it happens again thanks for all the responses

Check your source for the MF9 kernel you have and try downloading and installing a different one.

Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
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

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!

My home network is stable and doesnt do this... other people at work with different phones has stable wifi.

No sub forum for Z1s, no unlock bootloader, no root, no cutom recovery as of yet. And no you can't use international Z1 stuff,itll brick your device.

Thanks, good to know as I was planning on flashing the generic Canada firmware hoping to get rid of some restrictions (tethering) and bloatware.

Ah that's a bummer. Just swapped out my Z for the Z1s today and of course I'm came here first to see how to go about getting other FW on it for those exact reasons. Hopefully patience will pay off.
I have a question for Xperia z1S owners. Does this phone have hardware support for FM Transmitting? I don't have a car with an aux cable or Bluetooth so.. All of the music on my phone is inaccessible when I'm driving. But I'm hoping that the FM receiver can be made to transmit either natively or via 3rd party app?
I personally have the Z1s, and it has a built-in FM chip. You have to have a aux cable plugged into the 3.5mm jack for it to work though.

Why can't we get a sub-forum? There is like 4 different forums for the Galaxy S4 and the different carriers, same for Note III? There is enough difference between Z1 international and Z1s to warrant difference.

Ah but can you transmit to your cars radio onto an unused radio station? I know it can receive radio, but can it transmit your music through unused FM stations?

Just gave mine a shot. Turned it on, called my friend once the blue phone icon was up, icon turned green, call connected and worked fine. Afterwards I got a pop up saying congratulations you just completed your first wifi call.

I read something about it not working if you don't have a 911 address on file. Mine works wonderfully btw. No more buzz from my n4
My only issue is the led is weird. Hads different colors depending on the angle

Do you have an old sim or your 911 address not updated on your account? One of them could be the reason. Go to a tmobile store they will fix it up for you.

Please help!!! I can't get a mobile signal for the life of me. I get wifi and LTE, but no 2G or 3G??? I've factory resetted, flashed modems only, tried different roms. Everything. I'm starting to think it might be the hardware. If anyone has any knowledge, please share. As of now I'm back on NAE baseband since the NG2 upgrade started all this. Or maybe it was mobile odin. IDK it was one of those.
I would rather have lte than 2 or 3g. You could always change the settings for mobile networks to only pick up 3g and see if that works.
