Hello all,
I've been searching for 3 days now and cannot find a solution to this problem. Normally I try to avoid starting a thread since there is usually one on the internet somewhere already, but this has me stumped.
I have a SGH-I337M on Bell, was running SlimKat 4.4.4 with no problems, and wanted to upgrade to LP. I first tried installing the CM12 optimized build, but it would never get past the boot screen. Then I tried GPE 5.0.2, and it looked beautiful and ran smoothly, but it would not automatically connect to Bell's network. If I went into the mobile networks menu and waited for it to scan, and then selected Bell, it would connect, but a few minutes later it would disconnect again. WiFi worked fine. Needless to say, having no constant service was unacceptable. After that I tried installing SlimLP (wiping cache, system, etc in between all installs) and had the same service disconnection problem.
Then I tried:
-flashing modems
-flashing back to stock from SAMmobile and reinstalling (where a similar problem persisted)
-starting from fresh to GPE, then starting from fresh to SlimLP
-reflashing GPE with all 3 kernel choices, cutting out as many installation options as I could
-trying different combinations of preferred wireless mode, APN, etc
Nothing works. I am back on SlimLP and I have got it to the point where the Bell service will work as long as the screen is on, but when I hit the power button and/or the screen goes off, the network disconnects again. If WiFi is NOT on, when I hit the power button and unlock the lock screen, it will automatically connect to Bell again, but this does not happen if WiFi is on.
Any ideas here..? I've read countless threads and nothing seems to work. Any help would be much appreciated as this is driving me crazy!!
The issue has been resolved! Apparently I was too impatient and was not using the proper modem
But I can't find a way to delete this thread. Damn I must be getting old

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 (i9500). I installed Omega ROM v22 on it and everything went smoothly, Wifi & BT working perfectly.
After a few hours of using the device (nothing special at all, texts and stuff like that) - I noticed my wifi isn't working and by not working I mean that I click the wi-fi button and it changes from gray to the mid-state between gray to green for around 20 seconds before it goes back to green ago.
If I open the menu to see my networks it just says "Enabling" without any networks there.
I had to drive somewhere so I went to my car and tried to enable Bluetooth, and same thing happens there - Bluetooth will not turn on and will stay stuck on mid-state between gray and green for a while and go back to green.
I flashed omega rom v22 again and the problem was gone, or so I thought. I went back to the car for another drive and realized the bluetooth issue is back - and when I got home I realized the wifi issue is back as well.
I figured I need to reset everything so I tried the following:
Full wipe (including dalvik and even including "internal SD card") and then flashing stock rom (from the official website, stock rom of my country).
The issue was back after a few hours. I do not have BT or Wifi access. Yesterday Wifi suddenly started working for a few hours but then it stopped working again.
I really need help! I have no idea what to do with this issue!
Well rule number one when you have problems after flashing without wipe.
1. perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists.

Tried that, no luck.
What else would you try?
In some places when people had problems with Wi-Fi they said to flash a different kernel but I don't see why I would have this specific issue with Omega Rom and why the default kernel with it wont work well?
Maybe this could be a root issue? My root works fine but I have this weird gut feeling like this is some permissions thing that's going on.
I'm trying to think why it would work right after the wipe but then stop working shortly after.
Another symptom: It randomly started working for a few minutes and then stopped again (around three hours ago).
Any idea what's going on?
Well, if you fully wiped and didn't restore any apps and settings then it can be two other things.
Or it's a bug in the rom or a hardware failure in your phone.
I would suggest trying a different rom first. Do not restore anything, not even your google account.
wi-fi fix?
Do you actually have an i9505? or is it a canadian or att version? if its the latter sometimes the devs offer some wifi-fixes, also try a different kernel. otherwise it could be that your radio/modem are not compatible with the version of the ROM you are flashing.
Tried arrow ROM and this issue doesn't seem to happen in this rom. Hope it stays like that...

Sadly, it did happen with this rom, after just a few hours.
I'm now using stock rom and still suffering from the issue.
Does anyone have ANY idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there. Very sorry to post about this - I've tried my best to solve the issue on my own and doing various searches, here and elsewhere, but to no avail. Long and short of it is that WiFi and Bluetooth both seem to have died on me.
I have a Canadian Bell Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M). I have been installing Danvdh's Google Edition ROM for some time now, and so far, it's been great. After installing 4.4.4 (clean, after a full wipe), it seemed to work, but my phone froze up - completely unresponsive, including the power switch. Pulled the battery but then afterwards could not turn on WiFi or BT - just says "Turning Wifi On" but nothing ever happens - the message just stays there perpetually. Bluetooth same thing, except the message goes away after a few seconds.
I've tried all of the following to try to restore WiFi, none of which has worked:
- Odin reflash of modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin, multiple times (from the most recent stock ROM for my device - I337MVLUFNE1, 4.4.2)
- Complete reversion to stock (I337MVLUFNE1, 4.4.2) using Odin - neither WiFi nor BT worked under stock either
- Factory reset while in stock
- After rooting stock, using an SQL editor to check the value of wifi_display_on - it was 0 but just to make sure I set it to 0 again
- After rooting stock, deleting wpa_supplicant.conf in both /data/misc/wifi/ and /etc/wifi/
- Reinstalling Danvdh 4.4.4 (clean), but this time with the Googy kernel rather than the KT kernel (in both cases it was the customized version, not the pure Nexus one)
- Also tried, just for the heck of it, switching to ART to see if that might make a difference - it didn't
- Ringing a bell, opening a book and lighting a candle
In other words, I am at my wits' end. If anyone might have any suggestions - even just a link to some other possible solution I would be most grateful. I have tried searching, both in XDA and elsewhere, for a possible solution and have tried everything I've found, but so far, nothing has worked. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Please note - I originally posted this in the thread for Danvdh's ROM. I didn't get any feedback there, so suspect I perhaps might be posting the question in the wrong place, so am trying here. I trust such cross-posting is OK (but if not please let me know).
Not sure if this is the place to post this question, but I've been searching everywhere and I haven't found anyone online who is having the same issues as me.
I installed Omega V17 (for G900F) on my Rogers G900W8 S5 a few weeks ago (didn't choose to use the Omega Kernel) and it seemed to work OK, but it seemed to reboot randomly (all of a sudden when I'm in the middle of doing something, the Omega loading animation would appear). I didn't update my modem, as my phone was reporting that I was already using version VLU1BOC1. I have been trying to find out what has been causing the issue. I reinstalled Omega, tried removing all apps, but it would still crash.
I finally started to notice a pattern while at work. When I would walk across to our other building, it would always reboot. The only thing my phone would be doing when walking across the parking lot would be disconnecting from the WiFi in the one building and connect to the other. I suppose the other times when it would reboot where when the phone would, for some reason, drop the WiFi connection and reconnect (or I'm assuming that's why it reboots when I'm stationary).
When I did the install, I wiped both caches and did a factory reset beforehand and it seemed to install fine, so I don't think it is an issue with the Omega install, but I did try installing Cyanogenmod and it has been fantastic (stable and fast). I would rather run Omega for Touchwiz, but it keeps rebooting and it's pretty much unusable in that state. I noticed that there was a new version of Omega (V18) for G900F so I was going to try that version to see if it might work, but I just can't at the moment (I should be able to in the next couple days and will report back with an update).
I was wondering if there is any way to confirm what is causing the Omega reboots, and if anyone else has seen this issue before?
Hey guys!
In the last week my wifi&BT stopped working suddenly, without any software change or new app installed. e.g. (when I swipe wifi, it looks like it is working, but cannot find any network)
mobile data still functions.
After reading quite a lot of manuals, I understood it might be a hardware malfunction, However, I tried to do few things already to understand if there might be another reason, none of the below worked
-Play with aeroplane mode and wifi.
-wifi fix applications
-Factory data reset.
-Wipe the phone and flash oxygen 3.1.0 via TWRP.
Before giving up, Wanted to ask if you have any advice that might help:
Any customized room that might will work?
Any way to check the phone log to understand what happens when we do it?
Any general advice?
Thanks in advance!
E.

Earlier today, my fingerprint sensor/home button completely stopped working.
I tried restarting, wiping cache and dalvik cache, re-installing the ROM, and I even went back to OOS and H2OS (both stock ROMs) to see if it would work. Alas, nothing worked.
A friend of mine then called me. I told him my home button is dead. He told me it happened to him once, and all he had to do was force restart the phone and it worked again.
I'll suggest that you try the same.
Hold the power button for ten seconds while your phone is on and it'll force restart.
Hope this fixes your problems, mate!
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?
