Galaxy S4 Wifi and Bluetooth - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My brother gave me his old Galaxy S4 E330K. Wifi Bluetooth doesnt work. What I found out is he flashed it with a 5.0.1 Black edition firmware of e330k. I tried flashing it with 4.4.2. Wifi and bluetooth still doesnt work. And whats confusing is the wallpapers are for s4 black edition but the rom i flashed was not a black edition one. Is this wifi and bt already a hardware issue?

Sometimes when a ROM is installed you need to run the "wiping" processes 3 times before you get install a different ROM.

Or flash the rom twice to make sure that partitions have been overwritten.

Or, your wifi chipset might have been burnt. This is what happened to me about 3-4 weeks ago. One day I tried to send some files via BT. BT turned on, but could see no devices at all. A couple of minutes later, the wifi went the same way. Turned on but I couldn't see any available networks. Another couple of minutes later, neither wifi nor BT didn't turn on anymore.
Opened the device and saw the chipset burnt
I read similar stories the same time I experienced these problems; I think for a lot of people S4 is starting to break.
Try to find out if it's a hardware problem or a flash problem.
Cheers!

[Q] Vibrant is not connecting to wifi networks

Hi I read through the forums and posts, but did not get a topic related to my issue. may be I missed something!!
My Samsung vibrant was connecting to wifi networks at home and office properly for almost 2 months and today it suddenly started acting strange. It detects the wifi connects to it then keeps disconnecting and connecting every second. Really worried as this is an unlocked version and I recently rooted it too. But even after rooting the wifi was working fine.. No idea.. what happened suddenly Plz help..

I'm going to assume you mean it isn't connecting at your office? Samsung Galaxy phones are notorious for having connection problems with enterprise routers, mine had the same problem last year.
The big problem for me was, that it was my school's wifi all together, and since I live here at my university, I had to go and up my data plan because, well quite frankly, you can't do jack **** with 200 mb of data.
I tried factory resetting, flashing new ROMs and kernels to no avail; however about 2 months ago it just started working for no reason and has continued to work since.
Good luck.
Thanks FLAC... Like you said... It startedWww working automatically. Very strange...

[Q] Galaxy s4 wifi stuck dim green problem

Hi there, i've a galaxy s4 gt-i9505 since dec 2013 and i've been experiencing the wifi button stuck in dim green (wifi stuck with that activating ... Message and not working) and not working since ive bought it. It came originally with the android 4.3 stock rom. First i thought it could be a hardware problem but when i reset the phone to it factory settings wifi starts to work again. Ive noticed that if i stay with only one wifi network registred (the one i use to reconfig the phone during the first reset) the wifi works fine, but when i try to connect to a second wifi (any router) the problem arises and the only solution is to reset to factory settings again.
Ive read tons of people complaining about this problem but ive never heard of this second wifi netwrok issue... I dont know wether android loads a different config or modem driver for the first wifi network registred during the first boot but the problem only comes after i try to register a second one. Ive tried all wifi config like keep wifi on allways etc but nothing seems to solve the problem. Ive also tried the airplane toggle trick but didnt work. Ive tried other stock roms from other countries like germany dbt but always on android 4.3... Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Im on i9505vjuemke now...

[i9505G] Galaxy S4: No Call Audio

My Galaxy S4 Google Edition has randomly stopped connecting audio for calls in either direction. I have already tried all solutions I could find on the internet and this forum, including:
Reboot the phone
Check audio settings
Factory reset
Install multiple different stock firmwares
Install multiple modem versions for my phone
Test calling with other apps
Change type of network (GSM/CDMA/Global/etc)
Opening and cooling the phone
New SIM card
New carrier
I have determined that:
The calls work after leaving the battery out or switching batteries for about 2 calls before it quits again.
All speakers are working, but no audio ONLY during cellular calls.
Texting/Data works and calls on this SIM card work in other phones.
Calling DOES always work ONLY when using a bluetooth headset
It appears to NOT be a software issue, but I am not ruling that out.
Would anyone have an idea what piece of hardware could be broken? Any last software suggestions? I will be trying to sell this in a few days if no one knows anything else I can try.
Well the only thing you didn't try is a different simcard.

I just tried it and no difference. By extension, the new SIM was also a new carrier, so it was not related to that either. Thanks for the idea.
Same EXACT Problem
Not that this helps you at all, but I have the same exact problem. I have tried most of the same "solutions" you have tried as well, also to no avail. I have tried countless ROMs, reboots, Odin flashes, etc. What gets me is that once in a while, after installing a ROM or using Odin to go back to stock, I'll get my call audio back for a day or two. Eventually, and without apparent reason, the call audio goes away, and I'm back where I started.
In fact, I was about to write my own XDA post, but then I saw yours, and figured it would suffice.
Good luck. I hope someone has a solution out there because I'm at my wit's end.
Correction: All the same except that my phone is actually a MetroPCS SGH-M919N. Supposedly its the exact same model as the i9505.

Well, good to know it's not only the Google Edition. I believe the other threads I saw were from other models, too. The S4 must just have a cheaply made/defective part.
I've added one last observation to my list. I will probably make a swappa boneyard listing in a few days if anyone is interested.
Hi ,
Not clear if you guys have custom roms or not...
I seen similar problems like that in I9500 models and most of the time the problem was modem related..did you try to flash/ reflash a modem ( new or same) ?

I believe both of us have custom roms (and have tried flashing stock), and we have tried flashing a new modem (old and new). Although, since calling partially works, I will try a few more modems and report back.

WiFi cutting out constantly on a semi-new note 3 (n900t)

So I got this phone from a sibling, and it was basically used for a month or two back when it released. No scratches or cracks or broken USB port or anything. The day I got it I immediately went to hook it up with service with Metro. I installed a fresh copy of lineage os 16 for obvious reason but the problem is that the WiFi keeps cutting off (mainly with 5ghz WiFi)... I've completely troubleshooted my router (factory reset) and changed WiFi channels... Could this be a problem with the phone itself? or am I missing something? Any tips or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the double post I don't know how to delete
N900t is not this forum .
You require
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile
Usual is to flash stock firmware via Odin .
