Hi All,
Problem: Wifi is not switching on my Galaxy S4 (I9505). It's been grayed out and I'm unable to switch it on.
Actions taken: I've been researching and trying to resolve this problem non stop for nearly 24 hours. I've done the following:
- Upgraded my stock to CyanogenMod 11 since I (naively) thought it would rectify the wifi problem. (cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-jflte)
- Updated my modem to the latest one I could find (I9505XXUGNG2_MODEM)
- Installed the wifi fix (I9505XXUGNG8_WIFI_FIX)
- Tried a bunch of other suggestion (e.g. using sqlite to change some setting values.)
No sure what more I can do, and I'm starting to think it might be a hardware problem?
Are there any more suggestions? Or is there any way to debug it and find out if it's an hardware problem?
Appreciate any help I could get , coz this is driving me crazy!

Try downloading the latest version of your firmware on sammobile.
If it doesn't work, try installing a custom ROM, like "Imperium ROM". It should "repair" the issue.
"Imperium ROM" replaces the kernel (It should also fix this)
Thanks, will give Imperium ROM a try but doesn't Cyanogenmod also replace the kernel?
OK, I tried downloading the latest firmware - No Help
Also tried installing new kernel over the cyanogenmod kernel
- Tried Ktoon but it broke a few more things such as basic connectivity and did not help with the wifi issue (i.e. KT-SGS4-KK4.4-AOSP-INTL-07.12.2014)
- Currently running Alucard but the wifi issue still persist (i.e. Kernel-Alucard-V1.4ocm-[00-22]-[09-11]-AOSPV2-EUR-KK4.4-SGIV-PWR-CORE)
Haven't had a chance to try a Imperium ROM, since I needed my phone and didn't have sufficient time to wipe and reinstall all data and apps. Any other suggestions before flashing a completely new rom?
Revert to stock.
Flash stock rom twice
First time, let odin auto reboot and you configure your phone. Then go to download mode again
Second time flashing, uncheck auto reboot. Keep phone off for 5-10 minutes after flashing and then turn on.

Notice the "Sending ..."
"Low on space" appears when trying to turn on bluetooth or wifi
and "Phone Storage" appears when trying to turn them off
This is menu that appears when holding the power button, all labels are messed up.
This is my storage summary and i have alot of free space
Factory reset, reflash if that doesn't work.

Factory reset didn't work, I will try reflashing and see what will happen
I had the same issue when i was installing wrong CF root. Check if the root is for your firmware version

I think the problem wasn't from the root because i rooted the phone after upgrading to froyo and this was from a month ago, but this problem suddenly happened after i restarted the phone yesterday.
I flashed the new 2.2.1 firmware and the problem solved
but now vibration doesn't work
and it doesn't have arabic lang. so i can't read anything written in arabic.
I think i will flash 2.2 back again, but the new firmware is very fast and everything runs so smooth, no need to lagfix.
I know the answer! The battery icon mod with the percentage is not correct for your firmware.
It happened to me before when I tried to put the jpo battery mod on the official italian jp5 fw and also if I try to mod the battery icon of the latest jpu.
It's a problem due to messing up the framework-res.apk file.
So, revert back the battery mod to the original icon and everything will work again.
Hey guys! A few weeks ago i've got a used galaxy S4 i9505 (it was always on stock rom.). I wanted to get rid of touchwiz, so i started to explore the forums, and tried as many custom roms as I can, but all of them has the same issue. Every rom I flashed (CM12.1/13, JDCT Optimized CM roms, Octo-M, SlimLP, MoKee AOSP, Dirty Unicorn, JDCT AOSP, Orion, GPE 5.0/5.1) suffers from battery drain because of the wi-fi. Here is a screenshot what i'm talking about.

}
Even after i turn on the airplane mode, the battery still draining, and the wi-fi is still "active".
I have no problem with the TW based rom (Stock/Imperium), so I don't think it is a hardware related issue.
Here is what i did before the screenshot.
-I was on the latest stock rom (HOL2)
-Flashed the lastest modem (just to be sure)
-Flashed TWRP 2.8.7.2 F2FS
-Did a full wipe (Dalvik/Cache/Data/Storage/Preload/System)
-Changed the cache and data to F2FS
-Flashed Optimized CM12.1
-Wipe Dalvik/Cache
-Flashed OpenGapps 5.1 Pico
-Wipe Dalvik/Cache
-Reboot, connected to my wi-fi, logged in to my google account
-Advanced wi-fi settings-> turned off always scanning, and set the Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep to Never.
-Turned off NFC
-Set mobile data to 2G
-Put my phone on the table and cheked it a few hours later
The result is up there, i didn't installed any mods (no xposed, no kernel, nothing), neither any app from playstore, and i did the same as above with every rom i tried (with the same result)
Please someone tell me, what am i doing wrong? Why is my phone won't go to deep sleep, even though i'm not using any 3rd party app. If someone need logcat or anything just let me know, i would do anything.
(Sorry for the grammatical errors, english is not my native language).
I had the same problem on CM 12.1 on my i9500.An app called power nap helped to fix the issue along with greenify(although i'm not too sure that greenify helped with the Wi-Fi issue or not).
I was running 7.1.1 when i unlocked my Nexus 6P.
After it wiped and rebooted, i could not see any wifi networks.
I went to sleep and wifi appeared to work in the morning but stopped again and i could not see any wifi networks around me.
i left beta program and went back to 7.0 (NBD90X), wiped and rebooted. same problem. but wifi did appear at one point but stopped again.
when look at the settings. it says wifi disabled. i click on the wifi settings, it just hangs at "Turning wi-fi on...)".
i have since, loaded TWRP and rooted. same effect on wifi.
any suggestions?

Maybe you can try this way : settings - location - scanning(Upper right corner) - turn off wifi scanning.
My English is not good, but I am willing to be patient to help you.
thank you for your help. turning off scanning did not have an immediate effect.
again this morning, it was working but stopped a short time ago. when i try to turn WiFi on, it feels like it is just hanging and can't start fully.

i completely removed root and locked the phone and still no ability to see WiFi at all.
Dont know if this will help you, but I was having the same problem with my tablet. I flashed everything back to stock and then rooted, flashed latest TWRP , and ROM and the problem was resolved.
I ended up just claiming a warranty on it after it wouldn't work with stock ROM and updates.
Thanks!
I am in dire help with troubleshooting my Axon 7 (US variant).
Here's some quick info on what I have done with the phone.
-Unlocked bootloader
-Tried out the CM ROM, and then flashed a stock based ROM (wiped all the stuff I needed too)
-It's been working fine since then
Fast forward to today. I wanted to try out some more ROMs. I wiped what I was supposed to (Dalvik/Art, cache, data), flashed the ROM, set it up, everything worked fine. Only thing that didn't work was that it wasn't downloading my previous Play Store, so I rebooted a few times, didn't fix it, so I wiped the phone again and reinstalled the ROM. Now here's where things to get messed up.
-Booted into the ROM and no comms are working (ex. SIM data, WiFi)
-Phone kept rebooting roughly every minute
-After a few reboots, the right half of the screen would freeze
Wiped and reflashed a couple different ROMs, same exact things are happening. Okay, this is weird, so I restored my backup (I ticked to back up everything in TWRP), and the same things are happening in my backup now. It doesn't matter what ROM I try, if I wipe the SD card, or even format it, the same things keep happening. I have trying to troubleshoot for the last few hours myself with no success.
Does anybody know what's wrong and any way I can fix this?

Have you checked to see if you still have imei number. Sounds like you may have wiped/lost it.
Check about phone>status>imei should have one for each sim slot.
If you do still have both then factory reset, and flash drakken’s b29 update files the bootstack,etc then his stockish rom. Should get you back up and running

Word of warning, me and several other people have taken this update OTA on rooted phones, and its resulted in crashing modems. Its easy enough to fix, just it requires use of the MSM tool which will wipe your data. Although, one guy I've seen so far hasnt even been able to fix it that way, with the issue persisting through multiple wipes. So do be prepared for that possibility, or just wait a while before taking it. It could be a blessing in disguise that you cant take the OTA right now.
But warning aside, I wish I could offer more help on your issue other than suggesting to flash a stock boot image and retry the OTA, as that's worked for me in the past.
If that doesn't work, and you haven't done any other major modifications to the phone, then there might be just something seriously screwed with the update itself because then the OTA would then be working on some rooted devices and not on some unrooted devices which would be exactly the opposite of its normal behavior, and not even consistently across different devices at that.
my phone is losing sim connectivity after going to 11.0.1.2HD61CD ( I am guessing the modem is also crashing) I am not rooted though. Overnight will lose Sim connectivity and then I gotta boot to recovery and wipe cache to bring the sim back online... this is getting very fustrating... whats the best way to address this - MSM TOOL full flash?
UPDATE: MSM flashed - 11.0.1.2 again and alls been well so far - running smooth.
