Followed the guide and flashed Lollipop successfully, however, experiencing problems with the
a) battery life shrunk 1.5 times
b) screen rotation is not working any longer
c) after flashing native tethering the wi-fi refuses to turn on
Is there anybody to help how to fix these?

Just recently installed the Triforcerom 5.4 on the MJA firwmare. Everything works fine but then i realized the HotSpot tether was an issue. It starts up and functions fine, but then 5 to 10 minutes later it timesout. So i went into the timeout menu and set it to never timeout. but the issue still occurs. The rom i used before hand never had an issue like this. I also updated firmware to the new NAE to see if that might fix the issue. was wondering if anyone has had an issue like this and if there is an easy way to fix it quick?

Thanks in advanced!
Hi everyone! I have a hardware related issue here.
I have replaced the screen (+digitizer in a whole) and since then it is randomly going off and on. Interestingly it even did the same in recovery (TWRP 2.3) BUT not with every software! Installing the TWRP 2.6 or above stopped it happening in the recovery.
I have tried various ROMs so far. The Eclipse ver3 did not flicker, but it has a problem with the registering on a network here in the UK. Stock + stock based ROM (Rage 1.2) are also switching on-off. I am currently looking for a working ROM.
Please let me know if someone with the same problem can find one.
Also tried to play with developer options like Disable HW overlays or Force GPU rendering with no effect.
I wonder if it is a different hardware version of the replacement screen or what else can it be? (screen came from etradesupply)
Update - problem solved
Good news. Installing CyanogenMOD 11 solved the screen flashing issues and everything seems to work right. Thank you developers!
I have had this problem for..6 months (?) now.
During this period I did not use my rooted (and SlimKat flashed) device, but yesterday I did and it worked, for one day.
Then it - abruptly, without any sign or warning - software rebooted itself (I was browsing) and voilà, wifi turning on-problem..again.
Anyone here who can help me ?
I would really appreciate any help!
Really..

You could be more specific about the "wifi turning on-problem".
Anyway, it's most likely a software issue, either rom or kernel. Flash the latest stock image on your N7 and test it for a few days.
My asus zenfone 5 had Lolipop installed and had a bootloop problem. Every time it went to sleep it rebooted. Checking the logs I found out that it was a problem in the kernel while using the wifi state machine.
I flashed Kitkat 4.4.2 on it, no more bootloop but still no wifi. It is no problem to use mobile data for me as I have a plan that suits my needs. The problem now is that the phone consumes a ludicrous amount of battery. I'm guessing that in the background, the device tries and tries to turn on the wifi and what not but fails to do so.
I've searched for a way to permanently disable the wi-fi but every guide or tutorial to do so did not help me. The libs they suggested I deleted were not on the phone and the Build.prop another guide said to edit did not exist and the build.prop (notice the difference in casing in the name) did not have the wifi props.
How can I permanently disable the wifi?
Hi. After trying a couple of custom roms, I wanted to go back to a stock rom via Odin. I actually succeeded. The phone boots, and android setup screen comes. But in the "wifi connection" screen, when I touch the button to turn the wifi on, it just refuses to turn on. It goes back to off position. I have tried several different country's stock roms (4.4.2 only, I haven't tried 5.0) and they all ended up the same. I just can not turn wifi on in stock rom. Wifi works in custom roms that I installed using TWRP.
Any idea why this happens?
By the way, I also tried flashing different modems, but the result is the same. I read that turning off the phone and removing the battery helps, however, in my case, it didn't.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: As I have looked into the issue, some people claim that a custom kernel usually solves wifi problems. I haven't tried it yet but I will as soon as I can get my hands on the phone. Also in another post, I have seen a build.prop tweak "ro.securestorage.support=false" which is claimed to have solved the wifi issues. I am writing these to be of help to others that might encounter the same problem. I will update the post after trying these ideas.
EDIT 2: It turns out, when you flash a stock rom, Odin can't actually flash the modem partition. It seems like it does but it actually fails. You have to do it twice.
No Wifi
Hi,
have some trouble with my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505). Since 2 weeks I'm trying to get wifi working. 2 weeks ago I decided to root the phone (everything complete stock Android 5.0.1). At this moment wifi was working well..
I did:
- Flash TWRP with Odin
- Flash magisk 18.1
--> booted phone..
Everything seemed to work well..expect wifi. It wouldn't turn on. When trying to activate the WiFi button by sliding to the right it stays grey and after 10 sec. the slider goes to the right side again.
What I've done:
Downloaded several stock firmwares from sammobile --> no wifi
Flashed serveral custome rom's (lineage 14.1, 15.1), android 5.0 and 4.4 based --> no wifi
Tried differnt kernels --> no wifi
Flashed different bootloaders and modems--> no wifi.
Tried to delete files in /wifi folder suggested here in forum --> no wifi
Tried to modify buil.prob set the security value to false suggested here in forum --> no wifi
I don't think thats a damage on the hardware. It must be a software issue?
Bluetooth and mobile data are working well. GPS and wifi seem to be broken.
After spedning weeks of flashinng, recovering etc.. I am frustrated and don't know what to do.
Any advices?
My wifi is not being enabled with this rom. Does anyone know how to solve?
