SGH-i337M Sound causing crashes - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

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

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.

No Vibrate - CM11

Hi Everyone,
I've been running CM 11 since I got this phone a few weeks ago. I installed it on the first day.
One thing I didn't think to check to make sure was working when I got it (it was a refurb off Swappa) was that the vibration was working, so I don't know if this is caused by CM or if it's a known issue.
Does anyone else have this problem and it's part of CM or do I need to reflash to stock and check to see if it's a hardware issue?
Thank you.
EDIT:
If it matters, I have the Verizon version.
Bumping - I'd really like to avoid flashing to stock and having to re-root and go through the whole process just to verify if my vibrate is working.

[Q] need expert help on my S4 Active i9295! (no sound from calls, speakers,..)

Hey guys,
I'm goin crazy trying to solve this problem on my own so I gotta ask you guys out here.
So recently my phone has been acting strangely.
Everything is working as per normal then one day videos can't play properly. It will lag or stutter slowly, and no audio coming out of speakers.
Playing music doesn't work anymore, speakers just not generating any kind of audio.
Ringtones, notification sounds just dont work anymore.
Weird thing is when i reboot phone, during the samsung logo animation, there's audio for that.
After that, phone calls got sucky, I can't hear the caller, and not sure if caller can hear me. Very annoying.
So I thought my phone has gone way past it's time, and needed a good update. so I rooted my phone.
I've installed CWM, I think its version 6.03..
got that SU thingy,
and then installed cynogen rom (following instructions here: http://primehowto.com/install-android-4-4-4-kitkat-galaxy-s4-active-i9295-via-cm11/ )
I'm not a pro at this so I'm not sure if everything is done right.
Anyways, after doing everything, phone is still the same. theres basically no audio coming out anywhere on my phone at all.
speakers, headset, call speaker..
I want to try to re-do my rooting and installing a rom again from fresh, if you guys can provide me detailed step-by-step instructions i will truly appreciate it. (from start to finish, as if i just got a new stock phone and want to root and install a good stable rom, im not into experimental one. i need a working phone thats all. and which proper files i should get. )
Here are the details of my phone:
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active Model: GT-I9295
CynogenMod Version: 12-20150409-NIGHTLY-jactivelte
Android Version: 5.0.2
Baseband version: I9295XXUCNF1
Kernel version:
3.4.106-cyanogenmod-g91f93db
[email protected] #1
Build Number: cm_jactivelte-userdebug 5.0.2 LRX22G f86bdc2596 test-keys
SELinux status: Enforcing
Please help!!
Thank you thank you thank you so much

What ROM to get? (cant find a one without problems) I9505

Hi
I have international S4 (i9505) and I have tried various roms and every time I end up with some kind of problem, I used one on 4.4.2 and it had connectivity issues, then I tried 1 on 5.0.1 and it started rebooting every few hours, then installed one named optimized cyanogen 12.1 and it says bluetooth crashed over and over.
So the question is can anyone recommend a rome without any of those problems? and dont do anything special on my phone, mostly whatsapp, some online games and music nothing more, but want bluetooth and everything to work.
Ay help?
Thanks
If you don't want to deal with problems, go back to stock and root that.
Even stock has problems.
You should understand that each phone is different, even if it's the same model. Meaning that even if somebody suggest a rom that works perfectly for that person, it might not work for you.
With this in mind I can suggest to you the rom I've been running for a few months and works great for me: Resurrection Remix with alucard kernel.
And if you don't want whatsapp audio issues, go into developer options and enable AwesomePlayer.
one question, what does the kernel affect in the ROMs stability?
right now I´m on Cianogen and it hasnt shown problem, for now at least

Hi @totopesce,
I'm currently using the latest version of a ROM called Dirty Unicorns. I've had little to no issues with it. It's AOSP based, it's nice and light and very customizable.
It's trail and error with custom ROMS really. I was hoping from ROM to ROM for a long time before I eventually settled on Dirty Unicorns. It's your own taste at the end of the day.
Good luck with the search!

Hello, I'm looking for a help with WIFI ISSUE (disconnecting/phone rebooting). PLEASE

Hello,
I've got custom rom (with boeffla kernel 2.4) on my SM-G900F with latest modem etc. My problem is... when i turn on wifi, after few minutes in deep sleep It's disconnecting, and after another few minutes it's vibrating and then the phone is rebooting. I'm looking for a good person, who helps me. Please PM me, some good Samaritan. I will send logs or smth... Really need help with this issue. Thank you. I'll be very grateful.
I'm not an expert or anything, but not every ROM is stable with every hardware configuration. Stability is often more important than bells and whistles. It seems this custom ROM isn't stable with your hardware. Maybe go back to Odin and try another one and see if the next one is wacky, and if so, keep trying until you can say, yep, I tried all the ones that don't work until I found a neat one that does. And if that last part doesn't happen, go back to stock rooted so you at least have a working -- and stable -- phone.
Sorry that's not what you want to hear. Just one person's input.
Clean u catches, shutdown and boot to clean sys catche's
Boot again if it stalls more tan 10 mins. Remember consider if your deodexed or pure stock... do may take 10+ minutes to rebuild catche
Change to ressurection remix or lineage os. I've never had that issue.
