So I am from Canada and picked up the exynos version from a Korean seller on ebay.
Model number sm-n910K I actually have a huge problem. When wifi is turned on phone will reboot whilst in sleep mode after about 5 minutes if I turn off wifi it works fine. Note this happens even if I am not connected to a network the radio just has to be enabled. I am out of options I might rma it to the Korean seller but I think I might have to open a case with ebay, as these guys are being very difficult here is a video attached. I filmed it for 5 minutes but only recorded the last minute. http://youtu.be/ahLB0A2pCOM any help would be super appreciated thanks guys. I am at a loss whether this is software ie corrupt modem from improper driver installation at factory or just a faulty modem things I have tried already.
1. factory reset + cash wipe
2. Reinstall firmware using kies
3. turned off automatic scanning
4. turned off download booster.
The only thing that works is keeping wifi off. Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks.

Have you tried flashing with Odin?
Hey, I also have the SM N910K. What network are you using it on?
I have that version as well without that issue. Can you grab a picture of your About device specs?
Hello there i got same version SM-N910K i didn't have that issue with wifi , but i got battery drain , i live in uk and the phone keep searching for LTE- A ,
N910C with the Samsung SoC
I have the same Issue, i live in the US, I was in Malaysia and manage to get a N910C with the Samsung CPU, when I set the network to LTE/WCDM/GSM (autoconnect) it keeps serching for 4g networks, and it does not switch to lower networks even if available, which causes a huge battery drain, i had to set it down WCDM/GSM for it to get data. I did not have this issue with my note 3 which i also got in Malaysia last year, btw, the note 3 came with qualcomm cpu, and that leads me to believe there is a problem with the modem on the samsung SoC.

Hi! i found a solution where you can force your phone to go to GSM Only, WCDMA only or your preferred network type. In your dialer app type: 319712358. It will ask for a password and the password is 774632. And voila you can now choose what type of network you want to use. This will help with the battery drain.
Hi everybody..im from south korea. I have sm-n910k.

Hi guys !
I've just bought a samsung galaxy s4 (i9505) (a used one not new) and i flashed Imperium v7 and modem GNF1 and bootloader GNF1 (initially the phone was on stock 4.2.2 and the problem was already there).
My problem is that i don't get the network i rarely see two or three bars but it directly goes to zero (i can see the no network sign) and stays like that until a reboot (as said it drops to no network very fast).
So my question, is it software ? (should i flash the latest samsung stock firmware ?) or is it hardware ? (replace the internal network ship ?)
Or is it a common problem on S4 i9505 and no solution cannot be found ? :crying:
Could it be related to CSC ?
Anyway, i hope anybody can help me because i really like this phone and the rom that i just installed ..
Feel free to ask me about additional informations.
EDIT : I already tried :
1) the modem+bl FNDA => same result
2) force the phone to gsm only => same result (maybe better but even it solves the problem there is no point to not having 3g activated all the time)

It's going to be pretty difficult to narrow this down with what you've posted. You say the problem was "already there" when you got the phone -- how long did you use it on the stock 4.2.2 rom before flashing a new one? Did you see exactly the same behavior before you started mucking with it?
Hi ! Finally an answer So i used it for about 3 days and i really can tell that it is the same behaviour
My fear is that it may be related to hardware .. I am gonna try to flash the latest samsung stock firmware (with its csc and modem) ?
Anyway any idea ??

In general I'd say it's worth getting the phone to "current" stock, or as close to it as possible, and seeing what kind of situation you're in (i.e. if the behavior disappears or changes in any way). If you're seeing it on every configuration, it seems reasonable to suspect that it could be a hardware issue -- especially given that you got the phone used.
Perhaps someone else knows of a more definitive test you can try.
Hey ! Thanks for the idea ! already flashed the latest samsung firmware and same problem .. i stayed in touch with the guy that sold it to me so he took it back to samsung sav where his friend (who work there) told him that this is a famous bug in the i9505 4g serie and that the only solution is a
nvm restore (something like that). Of course he'll do it for free cause we agreed that if a problem come out he'll have to solve it on his own.
Anyway, i hope to get it back tomorrow or monday ! I'll let you know what happened as soon as i get it back !
solution?
Were you able to solve the problem? in case u were, how? i have the same issue sometimes i have 3g network, then it goes to gprs then edge, sometimes when im connected to wifi i cant receive calls, but i can do calls, any idea?
Hi all,
First of all, I have a Samsung galaxy s4 from Canada specifically from Rogers. I have got it hardware unlocked, rooted and I am on Cyanogenmod 11.
Now to my problem, I am in the Philippines and I would frequently lose signal, if I'm lucky, it would re-aquire the signal but most of the time, my work around is to turn airplane mode on and off and it would connect back to the carrier for maybe a minute and fully lose signal again.
Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated as it is such a pain to airplane mode and off when I'm jamming to my BT speaker
Here's information about my phone:
Model: sgh-1337m
Cyanogenmod version: 11-20150309-nightly-jflte
Android version: 4.4.4
Baseband version : 1337mvluamdj
If i could help you guys, help me with my problem just let me know.
Thanks all for reading.
Signal issues are mostly connected to the modem,
Flash the right modem for your phone/carrier and see if it help

Hey, thanks for the reply!
I'm a little new to this, could you go in depth on how to do so. Or maybe direct me to a few links I could follow? I am not in Canada and this is my only phone, so I don't want a chance to brick it.
Thanks!
Edit: do I need a computer to reflash the modem because that is something I don't have at the moment.
Here is a modem list. It also has a guide on how to flash.
There was another thread that included the latest lollipop modems , but I can't find it anymore.
You will need Odin which means that you require a PC.
Go to sammobile.com and check what version you need for your carrier and country

Maybe a wrong modem version, or damaged wifi config files.
Workaround for Wifi (need root):
With a File Explorer.
Navigate to /data/misc/wifi
Rename wpa_supplicant.conf to wpa_supplicant.conf.old
Delete wpa_supplicant.bak.conf
Reboot device.
If you need restore the saved networks, check this after reboot.
You will have three wpa_supplicant's.
Enable and disable your wifi for recreate files.
Open the wpa_supplicant.conf.old file, and copy the lines between network and the end of file.
Example:
Code:
network={
ssid="MY_WIFI"
psk=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
priority=662
autojoin=1
usable_internet=0
skip_internet_check=0
}
And past in end of new wpa_supplicant.conf.

Then It Works ? After Replace Wifi And Bluetooth ? Works
Yes, I originally took it to a Samsung service centre who wanted to replace the motherboard for an expensive price. I then took it to a normal phone repair shop who replaced the wifi and bluetooth hardware components for a fraction of the price. They did not use original samsung parts but her phone is now working fine for both wifi and bluetooth.
Please Help Me

Hey man I had the same problema I got a Galaxy s4 i9500 on friday from a friend it was almost new, but wifi wasn't working and bluetooth he didn't notice, I flashed russian lollipop, indian and honk Kong, some módems nothing worked even downgraded to kitkat and rooted to edit the wifi file mentioned before in this thread and build.prop too,
I fixed it, it was kindda silly for me the bluetooth and wifi antenna were kindda loosy, I took apart the pone a Little, on the back I removed all the screws, and with a tool opened it, the back part the one with the screws has the antenna and the bluetooth they are encased in that plastic part if you're looking the phone from the back it would be left top part almost, and you can try squeezing the phone a lil bit in that part, after putting it back togheter I just squeezed it a lil bit and the problem was fixed so it might be a hardware issue in this case it was kindda loosy
If this is your first time flashing lollipop..just flash it twice and ur problem is gone..dont forget to wipe after first flash..
wifi issues
Hi everyone!
When i flash the rom detects the wifi but the next day was no longer detected. Turn off and turn on the wifi and nothing it stays searching and shows no network. I tried with the official rom, cyanogenmod, GE but no luck.
I tried that said in post # 2, but nothing.
Any ideas? i'm using S4 GT-i9505
Hi guys, please help me. actually I have a strange problem: I have a korean note 4 N916K and since 1 month I have this strange problem of emergency calls only with all Simcards . Or IMEI is correct, wifi works perfectly, only this problem of emergency calls only when I set network mode to LTE/3G/2G automatically or 3G/2G automatically or 3G only. I tried everything I know, reflashing original roms from Samsung(android 5.0.1, 5.1.1, 6.0.1), many custom roms ..., ... No way, no solution. The only thing that I tried to make my phone working as phone is just put the network mode in setting to 2G, not 3G, nor 4G, just 2G. With 2G only as network mode, the emergency calls only disappeared BUT now I can't connect to 3G and 4G anymore. Please please help me guys, I really need to use at least 3G
Thank you in advance guys.

I have the same issue in my 910c.
It stopped working out of nowhere, november 2016, I was using the same stable rom for months at the time, wasn't due to a bad update.
Tried everything to fix it, even downgraded to kitkat stock rom, restored IMEI backup, nothing seems to work.
I'm only able to use it as a phone in 2g, it's painful.
Checked my IMEI already, it's not blocked, serial number is correct, CSC is correct, region is correct...
Anyone passed through this and managed to fix it?

Hi first post here but not a complete newbie. But this time I'm stuck big time and would appreciate some help.
I've got a s8 plus that recently started playing up. All of a sudden it started not being able to make or receive calls. But I noticed it only happened when the "conditional call forwarding active" message didn't appear when dialing. I figured it had something to do with call forwarding so try to change the settings on supplementary services settings but when I tried to enter the settings an error message appeared "failed to read data" I tried sending the code manually to cancel voice mail *#022# to see if it would work but I got "connection problem or invalid mmi code" so assumed it could be that the phone is trying to check with the network the forwarding settings as the call starts but for some reason it cannot communicate with it as the mmi codes don't seem to working?? (I'm not that knowledgeable in that area) I tried all the fixes online for the "connection problem or invalid mmi" but none work so I flashed the firmware through Odin even tried a few different ones, I've been playing around with Odin for a while so I'm comfortable with it, I even flashed a pit once for a note 4 that was bricked (just saying so you can see I'm comfortable with using it, not an expert just comfortable) but nothing has fixed my problem my phone is a g955fd running pie and one UI with the latest security update. I've read the duos have some issues with this. I've tried other sim cards on my phone from different carriers and the problem is the same and I'm using my sim on a borrowed phone and no problems. I'm assuming the problem goes deeper than the firmware, could this problem be boot loader related? Would a nand erase and reinstalling the boot loader fix it? Everything else works 100%
Someone please help me, the phone I'm borrowing is an apple and every day I have it I feel weaker and dumber, it's like kryptonite.
Sorry for the long post but I've been browsing xda forums for years and I know that you guys always say to share as much info as possible. By the way I've searched and couldn't find a thread about this but it there is one I promptly apologize and just ask for the link to it if not thanks in advanced.
? G935F or G935U exynos vs snapdragon
Way for snapdragon
Flash https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3901074 with odin and test with hard factory reset recoery.
After, flash odin last firmware stock sammobile
Thanks
Thanks for your reply deadedge7
As I said my s8 + is a duos g955fd variant and has an Exynos processor, I'm not sure that rooting it would make much of a difference, as to my understanding rooting doesn't really change the boot loader it just allows you to install a custom recovery and roms. Which is not much different to reflashing a stock rom for all intents and purposes , but I might give it a try anyway. I guess that maybe a rom like the one in the thread you shared might give me some more hidden codes access as a root but I'm not sure. I will try to find a root like it for my variant unless you know of one and can point me to it.
Thanks
Hard reset or flash stock software or hardware problem

No solution so far. I've rooted the phone and install a couple of custom ROMs but still nothing. I'll try and roll back the firmware and see what happens. I'm no expert but I still think it is fixable. If I find a solution I'll post it on this thread. If you find one please share. My solution at the moment is getting a galaxy A50, very comparable performance with the S8 and really cheap.

I'll keep that in mind. Couple of things to note: I don't get the message conditional call forwarding active. I don't think I ever have.
I tried a different carrier SIM card(T-mobile) and it worked (I'm on At&t). I was able to make and receive calls. Even tried an out of country SIM card and received calls. But my At&t SIM works on other phones perfectly. Go figure lol.
The only other reason I can think of is maybe cos it fell a couple of times from the couch. About 1.5ft. New case kept making it slide off.
