[Q] Can't answer the phone on my S4 i9505

Hi XDA.
Recently i've been experiencing a frustrating issue with my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505. Whenever i try to answer an incoming call (by dragging the green button all the way) the call is not opened, instead it closes. I tried restoring it to default settings and after doing that it works for like a couple of hours or so. I resetted it last night but this morning the problem showed up again.
Any solutions you can think of? Thank you

For some reason, every screenshot i did of what you asked for is shown as a blank picture but i will write it down here. After i dial *#1234# it opens firstly the list of programs i have granted root access through Superuser and after i tap the Back button it shows a list of 3 codes as following:
AP : I9505XXUFNBE
CP : I9505XXUFNA1
CSC : I9505OXAFNB8

I have to mention that I changed my firmware once yesterday and the problem was still there. Is your last answer still viable?

Okay. I did as you told me and it seems to be ok. As I said at the beggining of the topic, I changed my firmware several times and it worked in the beggining but the problem was back a few days later. Hopefully this time it will be gone for good. I will keep you in touch and if nothing bad happens for a week, I will write it down here. Thanks man, fast and good answers, all on XDA!

Flashed lollipop, now i cant make/answer calls or texts.

Hey
So i flashed lollipop on my galaxy note 3 SM-n9005. I was on custom kitkat rom before flashing.
I used this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2495688
I dont know what went wrong but i cant make calls/recieve calls, same with text-messages.
I followed installation-guide and flashed:
modem.bin
NON-HLOS.bin
Quote:
1. IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY MINOR ISSUES, PLEASE FLASH THE OFFICIAL LOLLIPOP
MODEMS VIA ODIN FIRST FOUND HERE
2. PLEASE MAKE A CLEAN INSTALL EVEN THOUGH IF YOU ARE COMING FROM V22
CHANCES ARE YOU WILL BE FINE WITH A DIRTY ONE
3. I THINK THAT'S ALL- WHAT I DONT HAVE LISTED IN THE FEATURES MEANS ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE
4. OH, THE 1ST TIME YOU BOOT POWER MODE IS ON- IF YOU DONT LIKE IT TURN IT OFF
5. THE FIRST TIME YOU BOOT IT MAY TAKE UP TO 10 MINUTES.
PLEASE BE PATIENT AND HAVE A CIGAR WHILE WAITING
6. ENJOY AND DONT BE A LEECHER

after that i went into recovery and did all the wipe's and flashed the rom.
ive tried 3 different roms and even flashed stock lollipop via odin... problem still here.. please help! :<

Yes

When i try to make calls its like the phone starts to lagg, and it tries to call but nothing happens... i can receive text messages, but not phone calls.. and when i try to send text's it takes like 20 minutes for the receiver to get them...
When trying to call my phone from a friends phone, normal beeps... but it just doesnt show up on my phone..
edit: It did show up on my phone, 2 minute's after i hung up.. It seems like my phone is delayed ALOT wtf!

in settings/about phone, do you see the correct baseband(modem) number you flashed ? could be a bad download ? did you flash via pc odin ?

Reflash it again via ODIN coz is possible that the older bootloader was stuck. Dial *#1234# again when all the flash process finish.

Almost same thing here, my 2ghz wifi works just fine, but 5ghz is not seeing my router. whenever i am in CM12 it works on both 2ghz and 5ghz, no problem.
Although i got it work on some times ago, cant remember how (probably result of flashing multiple rom after one another).
But now after update with Audax L v.22.1 it is not working again. don't know what is the problem.
Now downloading N9005XXUGBOB6_N9005OXXGBOB4_ROM.zip (Romania) for further testing.
are there any one facing same problem as mine or the thread OP?
@touseefiqbal did you tried with changing the router channels? it might help.
also any one have mega link for poland or romania rom? sammobile link is very slow for me.

Good lord! No, he isn't serious obviously!
Try to insert the same SIM card in another mobile, see whether you see network is there or not.

i put the sim card into the other mobile its working fine.

Then there is something wrong with your phone, I mean the Note 3, but can't say what! Maybe modem related issue! No idea really. Try to wipe and flash a ROM, see if it does anything.

Did you flash a disabled vbmeta? You need if you want to flash TWRP, and that look to be the problem. To fix this, flash stock, flash disabled vbmeta, on your screen it will say error and to factory reset. Do that, then flash TWRP.

its booting up right now it shows the samsung logo
