[Q] Galaxy S4 i9505 Bluetooth Won't turn on. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear XDA Users,
I've been on a custom rom on the Galaxy S4 since release, and i noticed that my Bluetooth didn't exactly work. But i did not take any time
to care about it and didn't try to solve the issue until now. I have completely wiped and reset the whole phone and installed a new custom rom.
Too bad, this doesn't fix the issue. The Bluetooth button turns light-green for just a couple of seconds, it then returns to grey. I really can't find the solution for this.
So please, if you have any fix/solution for this. let me know.
Currently running rom: Imperium v16.1
Best regards,
- CWM

call problem, please help!

hey everyone,
for a couple days now I have a weird and really annoying problem wich keeps getting worse. Almost every time now I make or receive a call my phone hangs up on me. most of the time right after a couple milliseconds, sometimes after a couple seconds. Tried to change kernel, and modem, but both didnt help...
Am running SlimICS 4.0 atm with Semaphore 1.2.5s, tried devil too though.
Rom has been running for over a week without any issues before...
Anyone experienced anything similair???
Thank you!
Best
Tobi
Re
Hi,
If it's not the kernel nor the modem maybe you have a faulty Phone.apk.
Did you flash any system app recently?
Anyway, I suggest a clean re-flash of the entire ROM. Or at least of a new Phone apk.

[Q] What is params.bin and can it mess up my phone or can it fix my bluetooth?

Hey guys,
I'm currently using OzcanRom and it's just great - strongly recommended!
My only issue is exactly the same issue as described in this post:
I'm facing a very strange problem as i'm unable to switch on my bluetooth... last week only i rooted my phone and installed CWM recovery...then i installed Custom Rom's like Hassan ROM, Omega ROM, Cyanogenmod 11 Rom, Pacman ROM etc etc just to check various Rom's and their features out.....At first i installed only one ROM at a time and den also dual booted two ROM's by romswitcher...While i was checking my phone once i discovered that my phone's Bluetooth is not turning ON...The toggle is only becoming light green and also from the settings its only showing turning Bluetooth On but it's unable to turn bluetooth On.....Now i googled my problem and read across various forums for solution...I tried various things also flashed my firmware to stock samsung but still bluetooth does not turn On...also i flashed with stock samsung firmware of feb and march 2014 and updated my phone over OTA but still the problem persists....i even installed latest perseus kernel while rooted but still could not turn my bluetooth ON.
I would be very grateful if someone can help me solve my problem and help me Switch ON my bluetooth as it is very needed aspect for my daily use.
My Version of S4 is i9500 with android kitkat 4.4.2. Also all my other features are working normally on custom ROM's too.

I too installed this Omega rom at some point and once I did that these problems started.
A user in that thread posted a reply in which he uploaded a file which he claims fixed his problem.
I really need my bluetooth to work again and would love to flash this file using Odin if it would fix the problem
BUT
I have no clue what implications flashing this file can have, can it mess other things up? I've spent the last four hours setting things up again in my new ROM and I would hate to have to do it again or even worse, cause some unsolvable problem with my phone.
I assume some of the developers here could help me out - should I run it?
Thanks!

[Q] Dialer Issues / Crashes

Hi, I have installed the latest nightly's and snapshot on my Note 3 N9005 and I am struggling to Dial anyone. The screen keeps going blank. It is a little better when using my Bluetooth Headset but is really totally useless. I usually have to take the battery out and reboot to gain control back.
I have tried
Full Wipe before each install. (cache & data)
CM11 - 27/07/14
CM11 - 26/07/14
CM11 - 25/07/14
CM11 - 08/07/14 M8
All have the same problem.
I am using CWM V6.0.4.7.
I would much rather use Cyanogenmod and am being forced to use one of the Stock ROMS OMEGA V21 which is ok but not what I am after. Is anyone else having this issue? Can I use another dialer?
Any help would be appreciated

Update
I have changed the power button so it allows me to end the call when pressed. This corrects the problem and turning the "Prevent accidental wake-up" off in the Display and Lights section in the Setting Menu. This make CM11 usable thank goodness. :good:
I had the same problem with the latest CM11 M8 nightlies and snapshot version. Also almost useless GPS.
Got suggestions like changing the proximity sensor settings and pulling apart the phone to clean the sensor.
I installed C-ROM on the recommendation of a friend and bingo problems fixed.

CM11 - i9505 Boot Delay/Hangs

Hi at all! Since I had my first smartphone I always used CyanogenMod to unlock all the power of my devices and have an pure stock android experience. I use CM11 on a s3 and a few times ago on a s4. I used always nightly build because I'm curios and I like to discover bug and discuss with other to solve them (I'm not a developer, only an appasionated smartphone user).
With my s4 (i9505) I used officials nightly from jflte section of cm download site and I updated it with Cyandelta app. I used Ktoonsez kernel.
It's impossible for my s4 to boot into Cm11 after a reboot or when I PowerOn my device after a battery change (because previous battery was 1% and device shuted down), because it hang on Model Number Splash screen. I have to remove battery, Hold for 5-10 seconds power button, insert battery and powerOn. Anyone has any idea for this problem? I've tried a lot of times to change from CM to TW and From TW to CM but problem persist anyway with Kt kernel and with stock cm kernel, but with TW rom problem doesn't appear.
A little note, I'm not using original Samsung Battery. Thanks at all and sorry for my crappy english. I'm a young student.
Try removing the batterystats.bin file... Maybe its getting confused on that.
See here for details on how to remove it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699687
I've found problem. Kernel wasn't compatible with last version of CM11.

SGH-i337M Sound causing crashes

Hello Everyone,
For some reason, no matter what ROM I flash, each have the common issue of any sound causing crashes. This includes trying to make a phone call, listen to music, or watch a video. I am currently running on AOSP SlimRom 4.4.2 (not like this is ROM exclusive, it has happened on every ROM I have tried).
This problem occurred once I semi-bricked my phone, I flashed stock, and then re-rooted. After that, it seems as if no ROM has been fully functional. SlimRom has been wonderful and works in every aspect except the sound issue.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be? If you need more information just let me know and i'll be sure to provide it.
EDIT: I also face data drops when I lock my phone (and reconnects when it unlocks), not sure if this is relevant but worth mentioning.
Thank you very much,
W.

I would redo the whole stock, root, recovery but with fresh downloads. What variant are you on?

I would really like that to be the last option before I jump into that whole process. Attached is a photo of my phone's information.
EDIT: I tried to unroot/re-root and the problems all persist.
Fixed
FIX: Flashed a new modem/hlos and it fixed the problem, thanks for the help!
Hi.. i have the same problem with the sound + he freezes and restarts. After hi restarts hi freeze after the Samsung logo when the at&t logo apears. If I shoot it down and start it he works for some time. Can anyone help me? :') and maybe give me a firmware with Romanian language? I have 4.4.2 now.
Can someone help me to flash a new modem to my s4? Maybe it will work fine after that
