I picked up a Galaxy S4 Gt-i9505 from a friend to fix but I can not solve the problem. The problem is in Wifi and Bluetooth that stopped working .... I tried applying various custom ROMs and still did not work ... I've tried with Stock ROM with Odin and still did not work. Really do not know what to do, you're missing me swap the motherboard S4 now. But dont want to spend that much money. Some may say if there is any solution to solve this problem of Wifi and Bluetooh without replacing the motherboard
I think that there has to be a hardware problem when you've flashed that many ROM's and always went to factory reset.
I'd give it in for service (after having stock rom on it)

Hi mate ,
Not sure about the bluetooth but did you check this :
Open the built.prop
search for ro.securestorage.support
If it says true , change to false
Save and reboot
or
Turn off Wi-Fi power save mode on your S4
Type *#0011# on the phone dialer, then Menu Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi power save mode to Off.
In I9500 we had a similar problem and the only solution was to flash the param.bin file. BT did not work and WIFI direct did not work ( my case) after flashing it my problem was solve....

hi
Did you also re configure ( pair) the bt devices?
if so you could
Check the hardware ( antenna ) maybe is a connection lose or is defective
Or you could try to reflash (odin) stock rom again and see if it helps ...backup first included the efs
how i check hardware antena connection..???

extract the NON-HLOS.bin file from the ROM and use Odin to flash it separately by placing it in Phone or CP(newer version of Odin)
Untick auto reboot before flashing
wait for it to finish, then unplug your device and reboot manually.
that should work for you

Hello , i have huge problem with my Samsung Galaxy S.When i turn on wifi , my galaxy s freezes , and only 1 way is to reboot telephone , or take battery out
I dont have this problem at home.When i use wifi at home everything seems to be ok it can easily connect to my router .Problem starts when i go to shops/schools when i want to connect to others wifi my galaxy just freezes :/.
Originaly i bought it with android 2.2 , i had the same problem with wifi.
I installed android 2.2.1 - also the same problem .
During last weekend i installed darky's rom 9.1 and it didnt help
Do u have any ideas what to do , or just my galaxy s is broken and i hae to get it back to samsung tech center ?
Have you ever done a factory reset on the phone? If not that may help otherwise it may be hardware related. Since 2.2.1 have not had a single problem with wifi.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yes i was trying factory reset few times also i was trying to clean cache , problem still exists
Sounds like possible password problem, delete all your passwords and wifi connections .
Reset up home connection then try external where you have the password and a strong wifi signal .
jje
I deleted my wifi profile , and problem still esists when im trying to find wireless networks in shop galeries etc..
I have almost the same problem but it happens with voodoo and not speedmod and when I turn it off
Today i made total wipe of my galaxy i downgraded it to official clean I9000XXJPU without any speedmods voodoo , i'll let u know tomorrow results .If it won't work ill try to use I9000XXJPX than ill test clean I9000XXJPY.Ill let u know my results .
Ok on all roms the same problem :/

Nop i don have password , my galaxy s just keep freezing while searching for wireless networks ( secured , non secured ) . When im at home , i can connec tto my router ( secured with password ) without any problems .
So its not a connection problem then .
But a WiFi search problem .
Time for it to go back to Samsung then .
jje
Problem solved !! but i had to give back my Galaxy S to Samsung service :/
Problem was mainboard - number of part A/S ASSY-PBA MAIN_GT-I9000(COMM_8G)_SVC .
i have a problem with my i9505 updated to kitkat 4.4.2: wifi signal is very very low and i can connect only if i am near to my router ( max 4-5 metres) ... if I go little further ( or in other rooms where other phone works perfectly with wifi ), I lost the signal and the phone disconnects. Anybody could help me ? it could be something such as broken wifi antenna?
Dial *#1234# and attach what appears.

Firmware seems ok and you have wifi how I see. It isnt normal that ur phone haven't wifi and other phones yes. Wifi antenna can be broken or maybe is about config of the router.
problem is that I have 2 bars of signal even though i am a few feet from the router...

I don't think it's a hardware issue if it's only since his update.. to much of a coincidence for my taste.
From what I now, these antennas are very very sensitive. Is your phone using any sort of custom software? (kernel, recovery, ROM etc..)
I did a bit of googling and this issue is somewhat known. Advice there was to factory reset your device.

Maybe try flashing back to 4.3. If the issue resolves, just keep it until an update is published.
If it persists then it probably is a hardware issue, in that case you need to get it fixed.
All the best

It's not possible flash android 4.3 without void the warranty. And ODIN dont let you downgrade either. Unique solution if your phone don't have normal WIFI signal is get it to one service center.
Hi everyone I've been lurking around the forums the past week trying to find a fix to my problem and I just find anything that will fix it. I'm hoping one of you that has a bit more experience with this can help me.
OK so here's my problem
My Samsung galaxy s4 i337m was rooted but I wanted to unroot to update cause I'm new to it and never used my root for anything
I looked around and downloaded a stock ROM and flashed it in with oden and I had no WiFi no sound couldn't make calls no videos so I tried flashing another custom ROM and it let's me use data and text but no calls no video no sound I usually only get 2-3 hours of down time here to look for a fix and I have been all this week but can't seem to work the problem out
Does anyone know how to fix this so I can call my kids again I'm not gonna be homeor anywhere close to a place to get a new phone for another month
And to sweeten the deal I'll send 25$ PayPal to the person that can get this fixed for me
Thanks for your time

2. Flash it via ODIN. Reboot your device and take a look if you have wifi or sound. Reflash the same firmware that you downloaded in the step 1 if not. Remember that dialing *#1234# have to appear this for fix the calling/wifi:
AP: I337MVLUFNI2
CP: I337MVLUFNI2

1. It's the correct firmware for your device and the latest. Yes. Problem of sound/wifi are related to wrong baseband normally. Reflashing it 2 times solve the problem.
2. We will try other options.
3. You have to install STOCK ROM for dial *#1234# first.

Hi guys!
I had problems with my wifi and I found a solution online saying that I should delete these three folders:
/data/misc/wifi
/data/misc/dhcp
/etc/wifi
I done that and now the phone's WiFi cannot be switched on anymore (WiFi switch stays gray and cannot be turned on).
Is there anything I can do other than a factory reset or flashing phone?
Can anyone zip up those 3 folders and post them here?
Thanks !
Phone info:
Model: Note 4 N910C
Android version: 5.1.1
Phone is rooted.
Can someone please post these folders?

Do you have any custom recovery (CWM,TWRP,etc) ?
Don`t you have any backup (Nandroid) ?
If so , then restore the back up through the recovery.
If , not , then I think you`ve to flash stock firmware through Odin (at your own risk).
I have the same problem but i didnt deleted any folder. Just stopped working and i cant switch on wifi. Weird is that today when i was browsing google play from 4g data plan the window with wireless networks appeared and i was able to connect a wireless network. After 10 second was off again and the switch button is grey again. I am on stock 6.0.1 and not rooted. I think is a hardware problem probably the wifi+bt chip has some unsoldered pad to motherboard.

I don't think it is hardware problem. Restart and fully charge your phone and try to turn on wifi. Maybe you have some application (battery saver and similar) that prevent you to turn on wifi.

I'd take it into a Samsung Service Center and let them have a look at it. As there is obviously nothing you can do to repair the problem yourself.

I will try to repair it tonight by myself because i dont have guarantee anymore. I will post here the result maybe we can repair this error.
i tried last night . I heated the wifi chip until i was able to move it slowly and the let it cool. Surprise after reasembly wifi was working ok all night and today at work i saw the same problem .
I think we must change the wifi chip but i cannot find it to buy... Any help ? Anyone knows an app or something similar to see if the chip is detected by motherboard? I think it must be detected if the mac adress of the wifi board is displayed...
Is there any p8 lite users or just me have problem.. cant connect to wifi even my password is correct
"Denied access to network. Connection Failed"
help me or if there's anyone have same problem let's find solution bout this
thanks in advance :crying::crying::crying::crying:
up for this , thanks in advance for helping me dev's and modders
Same issue....need help
Sadly a common problem. Have read a lot of tips on how to fix, but none have worked for me (clear cache, factory reset...).
Will probably return the phone soon as it doesn't seems like WiFi will ever work properly.
Update:
Talked to Huawei Customer Support (in Sweden) and they suggested a factory reset and trying to connect to a different AP (to verify that there was no problem with the AP). Which I have already done, so next step was to return the phone. So I just did that and they (the store I bought in in) are going to send me a new one, that hopefully works. Fingers crossed.

For me there was a problem straight out of the box. So I tried updating, hoping it would be fixed but the problem persisted.
Saw no difference in before or after update.
thankyou for your response guys ... i'll try to reflash my firmware and back to stock i'll update you guys if i have a same problem after flashing
- done flashing .. same problem still cant connect to wifi !!
someone said that the problem is the wifi chip ,, much better if i go to service center since no solution =.=
