[Q] My samsung galaxy s4 won't remember my wifi network

Okay so I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 from sprint, I love the phone it’s great. I was on the mdl update stock rooted and everything was working fine with wifi. Then I did a factory reset updated to mf9 (the latest update) and then rooted it still stock. Now my phone will connect to wifi if I manually connect to it and works fine, however, if I disable and reenable wifi or restart the phone or leave my house and come back, it will not reconnect to my network automatically, I have to select it myself and put the security key in everytime. When I disable and reenable my wifi it will show “secured” under my network, making it seem as if it never tried to save the network in the first place, So it won't automatically connect like it use to on the mdl update, because it seems as if it forgets it when it disconnects.
I tried even connecting and then forgetting the network and then connecting again to see if that would fix it but it didn’t.
The weird thing is that at my work it remembered the network and connects automatically and when I’m in range. And when I’m away from work I can see it saying “not in range”. Why isn’t my home network doing the same thing, and how do I fix this? (btw I really don’t want to do another factory reset if I don’t have to.)
-I have a 2wire 3800HGV-B router.

Okay well I fixed it by unrooting and using odin to go back two updates prior to mf9, then did 2 ota's back to mf9 and rooted again. all is working fine, also fixed the phone's getting too hot problem and battery last longer than ever.

it's your kernel that was causing this...for future reference, if you're on mf9 with the stock mf9 kernel and do not want to have to wipe your phone to fix this, you can use ShabbyPenguin's kernel...i had this issue before on my s4 and this worked for me...why the rooted stock rom doesnt like the stock kernel for wifi blows my mind...lol

How was it going on? Do you still have the problem with the wifi?
Perhaps you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...56&postcount=2 (Greatly appreciated and high credit to dajumper's work.)
This works on my I337 NI1 Unlocked Rooted. I uses ES Explorer with Root Explorer enabled.
I went to the "system " folder in the device, scrolled down until I found "build prop" then edited using ES Explorer Note Editor.

[Q] Lock Screen Issue, Remove Safe Strap, and Mobile Hotspot

Hi,
About two days ago I posted a forum topic about upgrading a relative's AT&T S4 here in Canada (Rogers Wireless). After a while, I was finally able to upgrade the bloody phone to 4.4 from 4.3 by following these two threads: I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM & I337_MK2toNB1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip and
I337_NB1toNC1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip & I337UCUFNC1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM(4/24/2014)
However I now have a problem with the Lock Screen Options, Removing Safestrap, and the Mobile Hotspot. First, when I go to set a PIN for the lockscreen, I only have the two options Swipe and PIN (which doesn't work at all but is an available option) while the rest have this message under them "disabled by administrator encryption policy, or credential storage". I've tried googling a fix but none of the fixes seem to work. It is said in the first thread posted above, that the MK2 bootloader users will experience a lockscreen settings issue but I can't apply the other bootloader provided that resolves the issue as it is stated that it may cause a hardbrick to the phone since I'm on the NC1 bootloader. I'm not sure what can fix the lock screen problem.
My second problem is removing Safestrap. Stated in the second thread above, there is a known issue that Safestrap will force close after updating to NC1, but Safestrap will continue to function normally after. I tried the method of manually uninstalling it by using ES File Explorer and tried deleting the safestrap folder under system/etc/ and the e2fsck file under system/bin/e2fsck, but I get an error that those files/folders can't be deleted even though I gave ES File Explorer root permission.
My third and final problem is the Mobile Hotspot that comes with the phone from AT&T. I tried to run the mobile hotspot today, but I get a message saying that Mobile data not available or Invalid SIM. I'm assuming since this is an AT&T Phone and AT&T is using their own software to override the System Default Hotspot Tether program, It doesn't let you run it without having a AT&T SIM. Is there someway to restore the System Default one that Samsung ships with it's phones and remove or disable the AT&T one?
Thanks.

Bump?

The manual method of removing ss is only for older versions, but good try. (I tried the same thing, myself)
Given the lockscreen and safestrap issues, rather than try and troubleshoot, I recommend starting fresh. It will be easier than troubleshooting. I'm not sure what method you used in the first place, but I've never seen safestrap fc after initial install. Try these steps and see if you have better luck... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51130818
***Note - The settings for safestrap are stored in the TWRP folder on your extsdcard. To get get the clean install, you will want to delete that folder before odin back to stock. (If you have any backups stored in there, you'll want to copy them out first.)
As for the hotspot issue, I am not in your situation (ATT phone on another carrier), so I cannot verify if these will work, but they sound good...
1. Do nothing. Maybe Odin back to stock fixed issue
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53509265#post53509265
3. Following your own advice of moving off ATT software, flash one of the roms in post 2 here that are i9505 based (or Maple Leaf, the Canadian based ROM)... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758259

No 4G on LG G2 vs980 after CloudyG3

I rooted my phone a while back with Cloudy G3 and it worked pretty good for a few months, then the 4G stopped working. I had my sim card replaced, but that didn't fix it. I then tried fixing it and hard bricked my phone. With the help from this site, I was able to get it to download mode. I did the update software from lgmobile and it installed 4.4.2 and did a factory reset and the 4G still didn't work. It now has 4.4.2 and I had to root it with stumproot, because towellroot wouldn't work. I then used the flashtool using the kdz file, but it still didn't give me my 4G back. This time I was able to root with towelroot and install all my rooted apps. I found the apn settings for verizon, but after I put them in it won't let me click it as an option. When I go to the setting there is one called vswinternet, but I can't update it. I seen on the net about deleting lteconfig.apk, but I don't have it. Any ideas?

Then download the lteconfig.apk this will give you lte

I did , but it didn't do anything. I even copied the.apk
to the location and restarted, but nothing happened. It's version 1.40624

Any other ideas? I even went through the build.prop settings and tried adding a new APN with the Verizon settings I found, bug it doesn't one. Is it possible I did something to the hardware? I tried different roms. Will flashing the modem.img do anything?

[Q] Problem with Wi-Fi losing Pass key samsung S4 :(

I have a problem with the Wi-Fi on my device (I337 AT&T) kitkat 4.4.4 Firmware NJ4, when you restart the device does not save the Password of Wi-Fi. Is there a solution?

If you're stock without root, youll have to use ODIN to flash NB1 and update again. If you have root, open up a file manager like ES File, go to /system/build.prop and find the line that says something like ro.securestorage.support and change it from true to false. Reboot and it should work now.

I didn't have this problem until I attempted an upgrade from NB1 to NJ4. Then my i337 S4 started to forget WiFi passwords. So I used ODIN to reinstall NB1, but the problem persists. I am rooted, and I tried the edit of the ro.securestorage.support entry in the build.prop file, but that didn't work for me.
FWIW, the passwords still exist in the wpa_supplicant.conf file but, for whatever reason, the phone isn't reading them and prompts me to enter the password. (This was true before the edit of the build.prop file, as well.)
Does anyone have any other ideas? So annoying.

G Tab 4 messed up host cannot connect to Play Store

Hello guys
Well the problem is the next one hope u can give me some solutions, because I've tried everything I'm at the border of install a new ROM
Well I have a tablet which was messed up from the usage of hack apps with root usage like the freedom, kingroot, etc... and it stops connecting to the PlayStore
First: It was showing the label "No connection retry" over and over again without the capacity to connect to the PlayStore by any means, Youtube app was affected too
-After a factory reset by the Android software and from the bootloader (holding the keys) restart the Tablet and Youtube was working now, but Playstore remains with the same label
Second: Now we figured out that some rooted app was the one who causes all the trouble but it was gone with the FR, then I figured out that the problem was with the "HOSTS" file, then to use ES File Explorer along with Kingroot to grant it root access to modify the Host, I did it and restart and everything....and now it shows another label: "Error retrieving information from server. RH-01" And still remains with that label.
I tried many lines of code for the Host file:
127.0.0.1 localhost <<--- Alone
And
127.0.0.1 localhost
#127.47.231.138 android.clients.Google.com mtalk.google.com <------with this variant too
None worked, i even use ADAWAY with root permission and didn't work too.
Already did the Non-root methods of deleting the data of all GPlay services the app itself and the framework without success too.
I've already wipe out the user data and done many factory resets without any success too
I really don't know what the hell is blocking the access to the Playstore and dunno what to do now, so every another solution will be very appreciated.
Greetings and thanks in advance!

Dude flash your stock ROM using Odin. Find these files either the Galaxy Tab 4 General or Development or Original Development. Flash the correct one for your model, its OK to flash the different region ROM but do a factory reset. Reply here if it helps

I tough about flashing it, but there's one inconvenience it seems like this Tablet had Android 4.4 and just find 4.4 stock versions to flash it, but mine has 5.1 installed already and in the device model it's shown as Nexus 5 device dunno why
So in order to flash it, I'll end doing a downgrade from 5.1 to 4.4 dunno if this can be dangerous
