Data connection and Blank screen during calls for I9505 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed the SlimKat version 9 of 4.4.4 on my Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9505), but since then whenever I make or receive a phone call, the screen goes blank and becomes inaccessible.
That prevents me from hanging up or doing anything else with the phone. I have to wait a good 10-15 seconds after the call is closed in order to access my phone back again.
The second issue I have noticed is that the data connection, 3G and LTE, gets disconnected when the phone is locked and unlocked quick enough.
How do I resolve this issue?
I have tried factory reset => re-flashing the ROM but it does not work.
Please help!

Nope. Where can I get it?
My Baseband is I9505XXUBMG4

Is there a reason that you are still on the 4.2.2 bootloader?
You can do two things:
A.
Read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50787570&postcount=2549
then pick a modem +wififixx from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50965837&postcount=2627
Pick a 4.4.2 modem (maybe you can also pick a lollipop modem but i'm not sure.. You have to look for it. Just paste the part in google and it will tell you what version it is (eg I9505XXUBMG4 = 4.2.2)
B.
Flash a kitkat/lollipop stock rom.

I flashed the I9505XXUGNE5 modem which is 4.4.2 as per the thread you mentioned above and the data connection issue is resolved.
BUT ... now I can't make phone calls ... I call someone or someone calls me, the whole screen goes blank and the person cannot hear me nor I can hear them.
I tried reflashing the modem again but it did not fix the issue.

[UPDATE]
I flashed the bootloader too and managed to get the sound back. so now data connection works great, phone calls work but the screen still goes blank when I call or receive a call ... lols
So it's pretty much the same issue but with the upgraded firmware version.

The easiest solution is to just flash the latest Lollipop firmware. Then you have everything up-to-date and matching bootloader + modem.

[Q] Kangakat 4.4 - network issue

Hi,
my network is not working after I flash Kangakat. I have to search multiple times network manually. IF I happen to be connected, as soon as I start a call, I get disconnected.
I run an i337M and I did flash the fix after flashing the rom. Temporary flashed Gummyrom.
Any ideas?
PS: I have been flashing rom for 3-4 years. I followed the steps to flash. No dirty flash.
Bump!
Now I am connected on the network. Issue I have is when I make a call, the phone shows that I lost the signal but I'm still on the call. And after the call ends, it takes couple of minutes to be on the data network. Any idea
Issue resolved
Download and flashed last modem for i337 through ODIN.
Modem can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542043
Big thanks to Danvdh!

No Sound or Make Calls / Receive on Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 after flashing

Hi,
When I was receiving a phone call only the vibration was working, no sounds, I couldn't slide the screen to answer properly, which means that I was able to slide, but the round icon of the slide could not catch the phone green icon. I could play no sound at all on videos, spotify, alarm, etc.
Currently settings about my phone:
Samsung S4 i9505 - 4.4.2
Baseband: i9505XXUFNBH
Bootloader: I9505XXUBMG4
Any fixes? People saying different things and really want a well explained correct answer. I've had previous problems and really just want to get this sorted

No worries Next time,If your flashing the latest modem flash only GSM modem . Not wifi fix/LTE or package combined, so you wont get any problem with your sound. Have a nice day .
...
absolutely no sounds & call function after flashing
Hello,
A few days ago I flashed my Galaxy S4 with the last cyanogenonmod using their flashing software. Then my phone was unlocked but I couldn't access the data internet from my new provider's sim card (3G).
Then I tried to reflash the original version to unlock the phone from the correct provider (Meteor Ireland).
Problem is that I am using Mac OS and have no access to a windows. So I used Heimdall 1.4.0.
From the begining, and I tried with many different ROMs, but I can never install the aboot partition. everything else flashes correctly. But now my phone network is working perfectly, except that I have absolutely no sound any more. The call application crashes, no alarm, no sound during boot, no videos that can be played and when I'm using the music app it says the format of the songs is not recognized.
I think the problem comes from the ABOOT partition missing, as I tried the other NON-HLOS as you said earlier. Sadly this GSM only version didn't fix the sound / calls and just deactivated my wifi.
I am a bit lost here, I was thinking about reinstalling a cyanogenonmod via heimdall to check if the aboot works there, because when I reinstalled cyanogenonmod via the software the issues weren't fixed.
Here is the detail of my phone, if someone can help me get through that I would really appreciate it :
SAMSUNG Galaxy S4 - GT-I9505
Region : Ireland
Provider : Meteor
Baseband version : I9505XXUENAA
Build number : JSS15J.I9505XXUENAA
Thank you very much

[Q] i9505 LTE modem flash issue

Hi all,
I've had my phone locked on Tele2 (CRO) network which I needed to unlock to be able to use T-mobile SIM. I've used Odin 3.04 and followed the instructions to update modem to I9505XXUFNB9. I've managed to unlock the network this way and use my new SIM but the connection (both phone and mobile data) kept switching on and off constantly.
After that I've tried another firmware, namely I9505XXUFNDG for T-mobile but the problem now is that mobile is almost always off with no possiblity to connect and WiFi is blocked completely (security notification "Your device's security has blocked an action").
Basebands registered properly after every flash.
Phone is not rooted and me not being a power user would just love it to work as it was intended to
Followed the guide, all firmwares downloaded from here
Appreciate any help.
Might be onto something. After reading through this post seems I need to apply WiFi fix but I cannot tell which one to use for my phone (I9505XXUFNDG) as it's not posted. Kernel version 3.4.0-481100.
I've tried I9505_WiFi_FIX_MDM.tar and I9505_WiFi_FIX_MDF.tar but they just messed up the phone completely.
Thx a lot.

Hi ,
you should flash the fix for the modem you have installed , try following:
Flash another modem from the list there
Now flash the modem wifi fix for that modem
If still in trouble re flash stock and start all over again.....

Thx, did just that and now it works properly.
Much obliged.
a problem started to show recently; when i select LTE/WCDMA/GSM for auto connect network mode when the mode switches due to signal availability it doesn't get reconnected. i.e. while under LTE it works fine but if i move and get out of reach it should automatically switch to slower network which it doesn't. this works fine if i select WCDMA/GSM then the switches are fine but LTE is not available under this.
one more thing i noticed since i'+ve flashed the phone is that the upper part of the phone gets very very hot (a lot more than before). since the flash i've also had to replace a microSD card which died within weeks (not necessarily connected but worth noting).
any suggestions welcome.

Data modem not functioning after clean wipe / flash

I have this strange problem where sometimes my modem does not work after a clean flash. Usually just making sure the data network preference is set to LTE solves the issue, and after 10 min or less the phone picks up the band. But I've just done a clean flash teamUB 1/11 and its been 24 hours with no data connection. This same build worked fine for this same phone a week ago, but the 1/19 broke the phone so I had to do a clean wipe and go back to 1/11.
I've played with data roaming options in CDMA roaming mode, set to domestic roaming, national roaming. Still no data
Any advice?
This is for a 900P (sprint) - Note that I am on CREDO (uses Sprint network)
EDIT - FIXED YAY!!! FULL LTE WORKING GREAT!

The issue started when I was forced to wipe my system data and do a clean install in order to get the phone functional after boot loop from 1/19 update. so yes, I would assume that the modem built into the 1/11 update I rolled back to (clean install) contained the modem. But, as stated, the 1/11 build was working fine for me before, and not now.
Is there a way to just update the modem itself on this build/phone? I've been wondering about that and wanted to try it if possible.

There is no modem included in TeamUB's roms.
First thing's first, what model are you using? Go to signature settings and write your model there, this way whoever is helping you they will know what they're dealing with.

Sorry, I wrote 900P in the first post, I thought that was enough information. I've updated my signature to contain more information.

No need to say sorry man, just mean it makes it easier. Haha you're signature says 900O lol.
1 Install Samsung USB driver for mobile phones
2 Download the NE5 modem one click flasher here
3 Put your phone into download mode (Turn off the device, press Volume Down, Home and Power Buttons simultaneously, Once you see the warning message, release all buttons, Press Volume Up to enter download mode, Now your device should be in download mode)
4 Run the file from #2 and flash modem (if NE5 doesn't help try the other ones).
I don't think it's a modem problem though. IMO it's either the rom or the operator..

The NE5 throws a <OSM> MD5 hash value is invalid error. I flashed the ND2 version and no immediate data connection, but from past experience it can take a little while for the modem to sync. No idea what causes the delay, but everytime i flash a new rom it can take sometimes up to 30min before it gets a data connection. Been 15min no connection yet.
Couldnt find a mirror anywhere of that NE5 one click flasher. Know of any other hosts? i googled to no avail.

Update:
I have restored a old backup to kitkat, modem working fine, instant connection. Then I did a system wipe, clean flash to cyanogenmod 1/20 update released yesterday.....no modem. Restored backup again to kitkat, then did a dirty flash to 1/20 cyanogenmod.....no modem.
I think the issue is 5.0 itself. The issue is so random, I do not know how to troubleshoot it. I've installed maybe a dozen CM's so far, and its been a coin toss whether the modem works after install. Sometimes it syncs up after a few min, and sometimes never. its really strange because I had the modem working fine on TeamUB from late december, through 3 or 4 updates until 1/19 boot looped it. Now after that nothing has gotten the data back on other than restoring to kitkat.
When i did the clean install to cyanogenmod, on the startup process where it says 'waiting to activate cellular service' it gets stuck there and never activates the data.
Also, when trying to flash the NE5 tar md5 you linked to, I get md5 error! Binary is invalid. Im supposed to use AP, yes?
EDIT - Changed preferred network type to 3G and after a few reboots got data! Going to change back to LTE now and give it some time to see if i can get it to sync up.

No luck leaving it on LTE. When I switch back to 3g I can get a connection, LTE set in preferences I get no connection, not even 3g. I've been testing around the city and at my home, where I can always pickup a LTE connection from past experience.
It seems that the LTE protocol within 5.0 is buggy for my situation. If it works, it seems to work fine, but when it doesnt work, it never works. So its either glass is full or empty

There are two versions of labels in Odin. The "normal" says "phone" the one I don't like says "CP". You have the Odin I don't like lol, so yours says "CP". That's where you put the modem. "AP" is for firmware/roms only.
Try these two modems, which I found on this page, NK4 for 4.4 while NKD is for 5.0.
Try Ktoosez kernel and also check your Apn settings, it's supposed to be optimised for CDMA phones and might help you.

I looked around and downloaded a stock ROM and flashed it in with oden and I had no WiFi no sound couldn't make calls no videos so I tried flashing another custom ROM and it let's me use data and text but no calls no video no sound I usually only get 2-3 hours of down time here to look for a fix and I have been all this week but can't seem to work the problem out
Does anyone know how to fix this so I can call my kids again I'm not gonna be homeor anywhere close to a place to get a new phone for another month

1. It's the correct firmware for your device and the latest. Yes. Problem of sound/wifi are related to wrong baseband normally. Reflashing it 2 times solve the problem.
2. We will try other options.
3. You have to install STOCK ROM for dial *#1234# first.
