Hello everyone, well, I will explain my problem, The Wifi in my Titan used to work great, but as it is a little old, it have some hardware problems, actually the answer green button doesn't works, but I have no problem with it, the real problem is that the Wifi switch don't want to work anymore, I now it because after some days after it happened, I open the phone, turn it on, and try the switch, it only worked with a very big preassure, but now, after some days, it's fully dead, I have allready tried using the 10 Buttons Comm Manager, but when I click the Wifi won't work, there appears the dildo-like image in the top of the screen but only about 2 seconds, and then it just go and the Wifi is still of, so I'm asking for your help, what can I do? Thanks in advanced.
Ah, I was forgetting to tell you that here in Mexico there are no service for any HTC because it is not usual to see here one of these excelent phones.
You won't get wifi to work if the switch is broken in the off position. Your only option is to get a new one.
My wifi used to work great until I upgraded the phone to the MR2 update. When it restarted, it would do exactly as yours. I would turn the switch on and it would keep the wireless icon in the top of the screen with no connection to a wireless network. I tried to go back to MR1 update but to no avail. I took the phone to Verizon and they told me the wifi chip must have burned outduring the upgrade and that it was not their problem and would not replace the phone. I had to go through insurance and pay $50 to get another phone.

Same problem here. It seems to be more then just coincidence here. It cannot be that so many people are having the same problem at almost the same time experiencing the same symptoms.
We need to find out what is in common between all of us in order to find the solution.
I have searched in the past, with no luck, for instructions on how to dis-assemble the Mogul. Maybe the hardware switch can be replaced? (assuming you have the stomach for such things)

Disregard wrong post.
Well, finally after some research, without any results, I decided to work my self, so I disasembly the back of my Titan, rid of the useless swtich and build a bridge with a copper wire from the terminals and now it works perfectly!!
Of course the problem is that is it too dangerous and to be honest I don't recommend to do this, but if you try it, you will have to be prepared with a 10 buttons comm manager, because with every reboot, the wifi wil be turned on, I know that this is not a good solution, but here in Mexico there are not service for HTC.
Hi guys,
New owner of a S4 (GT-I9505 international) here with a problem. 2 days ago I noticed the screen wasn't rotating anymore. I used to rotate it portrait/landscape in applications like Camera or Internet (browser). The moment when it started to bother me was when looking at pictures with the phone in portrait and the image was landscape. Trying to rotate the phone didn't help. It was frozen. I called a buddy of mine who has some experience with Samsung devices and told me to verify the "Auto-Rotation" settings. It was all OK and enabled. Then he suggested turning the phone off and pulling out the battery and SIM card for 5 minutes and putting it all back. This didn't help either. Finally we got to the point where he told me to enter *#0*# in the Phone dialing application. As you might already know, this code gives you access to the "testing" hidden utility. There I tested all the options available. Everything was fine except for the Sensors and SensorHub Selftest.
In the Sensors section, all the tests failed, starting with the Accelerometer and ending with the Temperature. I uploaded screenshots taken during the tests. Please remember this started 2 days ago. Before this it was working perfectly. I don't recall making and major changes like updating any OS components or installing/running stress utilities related to sensors or device behavior. After doing some research online and reading about other people's similar problems I got to the point where I started to suspect a problem with the MCU (Micro Controller Unit). This component, according to Samsung, controls all the sensors and reads raw data from them without accessing the AP (Application Processor) this way extending the battery life. I believe the problem is here because it seems odd that none of the sensors are working all of a sudden. Can this component put the sensors into a sleep state and shut them down completely? Might this be the case here?
Below are the solutions I tried in order to revive the MCU and finally the sensors. I was all without success:
1) Turned off the phone and pulled the battery and SIM out. Put the back in after about 5 minutes. Result: sensors not working.
2) Reset to factory-settings from the settings option while the phone was in the working state (turned on). Result: sensors not working.
3) Rooted the phone, installed Clockwork Recovery, made a full system and applications backup and then installed custom ROM (two actually: PACMan, Google Play Edition (4.3)). I did this in order to exclude a problem related to drivers in the stock Samsung ROM, even if it was logical that Samsung being the owner and manufacturer of the device might have the "best" drivers and applications for inquiring the device components/sensors. I am aware this ended the warranty for me, but can I know it can easily be undone. Result: sensors not working.
4) Restored the original stock Samsung ROM. Result: sensors not working.
The utilities used for sensor testing were: Sensor Kinetics and Sensor Tester. Both can be found in the Play Store. On my wives phone, which is an old HTC Desire, both utilities picked up the available sensors and created graphs with the results. On my S4, I only got blank charts/graphics/results. In Sensor Kinetics for the Gyro for example, the message was "Waiting for the Gyroscope sensor...", just that, stuck.
If there are any other guys (or ladies!) out there who encountered this awful experience, please reach out and tell me if you found any practical solution, any other then just taking the device back to warranty. I'm open to any suggestions.
Best regards,
Andrei
Most likely a defective device ... can't you claim warranty and sent it back?
Sounds like hardware failure. This would be an issue for Samsung to solve.

Unfortunately I bought it second-hand and it does not have any warranty. I guess it's one of those moments I wish I had patience and gathered more cash to buy a new one from the store. Anyway, it's my bad luck. I had it working perfectly for weeks after buying it. I will use it like this for the time being..
i´ve got the exact same problem since yesterday...
i think i´ll take it to the shop for warranty
I've got the exact same issue. All sensors are having the same issue. None are working,
I found out because my camera app was not switching between landscape and portait any more. All pictures are saved as landscape...
Called Samsung Netherlands and they told me to wipe my phone (still latest original stock ROM) and try again.
Making a backup now using Kies... and will hard reset it afterward and check the sensors.again.
Probably not going to work... So I have to send it in...

Hi there. I had same problem with sensors and MCU test failed, so i took phone to service. They said its hardware failure and replaced main board. Im picking phone tommorow and we will see...
Hi guys,
I took mine to a local phone service, not the official one, but they are an affiliate. They could not figure out exactly what the problem was so they replaced the logic/main board just for testing. It was all working fine. They called and informed me of the findings. Given the fact I don't have warranty for it, they suggested to send it to our main service in Bucharest where they have a more sophisticated testing equipment. It is possible to get a more precise answer regarding the defective component and maybe a less pricey solution to the problem. At this time, the only viable option is to get a new logic board in place, which is about to set me back 250 USD. I will get an answer from Samsung in Bucharest by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
I will get back to you with my final solution... hopefully something not so expensive
@darklord, @eweu: please post back you findings. Maybe in the future when some other unfortunate owner finds his way in here, will have a better understanding of whats on the plate for him.
Thanks,
Hard reset did not work as expected. Going to drop it off at a local official repair center....
S4 Sensors failing
I have the same problem with my S4 GT-I9505 device not auto-rotate, air gestures with gyroscope and accelerometer tests failing. S4 been back for 3 weeks to Samsung for repair came back and failed again after 1 week

After installing some other ROM's and playing with different CSC's I have no sound and even no wireless and only Edge speeds on some ROM's. Restoring from backups, wireless came back and HSDPA+ also, but no luck with sound what so ever. Now, I have a tablet more or less. Thanks Samsung, this is great!

I have the same thing here
all sensors are broken because of SensorHub BIN FW Version: AT0199999
then i try to update firmware with *#2663# it failed.
I have the same problem with my S4 GT-I9505.
Suddenly the device do not auto-rotate, and no air gestures with gyroscope and accelerometer are working.
The SensorHubTest end with FAIL.
Mid december I got one OTA firmware update and I didn't notice any problems first.
A few days after newyear I notice that my auto-brightness adjustment did not work properly.
Can't remember if auto-rotate didn't work when I notice the auto-brightness problem.
But finally I am here because I searched for sensors problems.
I did the SensorsHub Test with *#0*# and it ends with FAIL.
It seems that there is a problem with the 4.3x firmware.
With 4.2x all was fine.
Can anybody confirm my thoughts - that the firmware is broken and not the MCU itself?
What can we try? Downgrade? I read that one was lucky with "factory reset" but it didn't helped to revive the MCU of my device.
Thanks for reading
and answering

Hi, i am a owner of a sch-i545 phone, and i have the same problem with the phone: no response of any sensor and a fail on test (or upgrade firmware) of the sensorhub.
At this time i was tried a lot of solutions: i was flashed stock firmware, custom firmware, and of course a factory reset (by the way, the first time with this problem was when i did it a single factory reset), its still broken the communication with the sensors.
I get back to life the phone when i upgrade the phone from 4.2 to 4.3 (sadly) and get lost when i update the binaries in super su (previously rooted with vroot).
Yesterday i give the phone to a technician (a close friend of another best friend), he will test the phone on this weekend to determine what is the problem to try to fix it.
When He fix this phone, i will post any news!
Regards.

Thanks for your answer. I have hope that the next firmware will fix it.
What is strange that none of any reseller/privers know this problem. It seems that also Samsung has no knowledge about this special error.
Well if the next firmware didn't fix the problem, I can replace my model with a working one, that is what the guy at the phone shop offers to me.

Same Problem Here
Hi guys, I'm new to this forum so be nice :angel:
I am having the same problem in that none of the sensors are working which indicates that it is a connection issue or the actual hub not working or the firmware and not the individual sensors themselves. I have thought about this and looked around and to me it seems like there are only 3 possibilities for the problem:
1) The SensorHub BIN FW Version is out of date and needs to be updated manually (not through *#2663 as it doesn't work)
2) There is a connection issue e.g. the cable from the sensorhub to the motherboard is loose or broken
3) The sensorhub is broken (not the sensors)
I will try to find the firmware files and see if I can do a manual update. If that fails I will open up the phone and see if the cable is connected/broken. If I still cannot solve the issue, I will have to take it to the shop and hope I can fix it off warranty (I bought it second hand)

Thanks Dan for your reply.
I assume that your S4 shows the same behaviour as my one and the phone is still working fine.
The sensorhubtest failed and your light sensor for automatic adjusting and the sensor for turning the display are not working.
What is really strange that I went to a vodafone shop in Hamburg and ask them if there is any other one having problems with the S4.
You know the answer? They where wondering and telling me that this is wierd and they heard the first time of such an issue from me.
I showed them the device and showed them how I test the sensors. *#0*# funny they didn't know this combo
I hope that you succeed and share your knowledge,
with best regards.

Hoping I can possibly gain some insight. The Note 3 I have had no other issues than a charging port had been broken off (wife was a little rough with it), and ended up having to replace the port itself. The port is the correct model and type for this phone, made sure of it. I factory reset the phone and I made sure to turn off the diagnostics for Samsung (since I know that can cause problems with cell phone reception). It worked for about....4 hours before it stopped finding the network. I did another factory reset and the signal came back. Am I going to have to continue to factory reset just to get service back? Or is there a workaround that I may or may not know about? The device is not rooted with the latest firmware (5.1.1 I believe), the APNs are correct, and the SIM works in other phones. I'm completely drawing a blank.
Possible loose connection inside the phone?
Possible wrong modem and CSC for your network .
But 4 hours working suggests lose connection or even faulty sim card .

I opened it up and checked the connections inside the phone itself, the wires are properly seated and tight. I'll flash a new modem with the proper CSC just to be safe.
compatibility of lcd screen
Is the lcd screen of galaxy note 3 n9005 compatible with note 3 n9006??

The only way I know how to turn it off is that you have to factory reset the phone, and when you are in the initial startup (after selecting your WiFi) The very last option a Yes or No to send Diagnostic Data to Samsung. Don't know how to do it other than that method, if someone else knows, feel free to correct me here.

thanks for quick reply. yeah i have done that.
but i have issues with LTE reception. may be some other issue.
I also have the same problem!
GSM mode works, GSM/WCDMA has some failures, LTE/GSM/WCDMA has many problems! I have 1 bar or 0 bars all the time (while other phones with the same sim card have full bars).
I don't know if it is an antenna problem or really the main board problem (since software isn't an issue because I tried stock, cm based and note 5 port roms and everything has the same problem).
I'd like to troubleshoot things a little bit so I can get this repaired myself, anyone knowledgeble here so we can get our problem solved?
Hi everybody!
This forum is my last try to repair my Samsung Galaxy J5-J500FN
I will try to explain all the issues, but my english is not perfect, sorry
I have reseted my phone yesterday using the Volume/Menu/Power buttons like we can see in the Internet. Everything was going right, except the fact that Google asked me for an email address during the new installation. I lost this email so i tried to bypass it using an OTG USB as we can see on YouTube videos.
At this moment, I just broke the phone, because now there are several issues that even a full hard reset can't fix.
My Samsung J5:
overheats (a lot, i promise)
don't charge anymore (there is the thunder in the battery icon, but it doesn't charge anymore)
[Edit] : Thuder don't appear when phone is off, it just appears when phone is on, in the miniicon.
when charge cable is plugged, touchscreen doesn't work
when charge cable is plugged, a little light appears in the flash light (not full light, but something like a very little light)
the phone is ultra-slow
battery is going very low fast (something like 50 > 0 in a few minutes)
I'm sure it's a software problem, because all my hardware is clean. I tried the battery in my other J5 and i've got no problem.
I've already tried to reset again, but no difference.
It's like i put a malware/virus in my phone using my OTG/USB wire and i can't remove it by a simple hard/reset or cache reset.
And i can't access to Settings, because my phone is blocked during reinstall
I don't have any root access (can't install TWRP or other (FRP lock))
If you have piece of advice or a solution, it wouuld be really great for me, thank you!!
Boulledogue
If you have FRP Lock then its best for you to download latest Samsung Galaxy J5 stock firmware and flash using latest Odin for Windows. You can download the firmware for your device at SamMobile, just google it.
Next time you should unlock OEM in development settings to prevent future problems with FRP.
Hope I Helped

Hello to all! I'm the current developer for Samsung Galaxy J5.
You have framework/kernel/userspace issues my friend!
The reason that your device behaves that way is that you loaded it with too many applications, and you are a very heavy user of a device.
Always flash a fresh ROM from SamMobile if you have such issues and want to keep bloated stock, or switch to CM which is pure Android source.
For heating problems:
Refer to my post in another similar Q&A HERE!
You are free to question anything that I can help you with, and push the thanks button on the right corner if I am helpful. This is helping me to rise up on the community here!

my phone runs in stock disabled everp bloatware only installed fb lite with the slightest use the phone goes to 50 very fast
i flashed ur kernel before and cm rom same issues even when i go in twrp the phone is always in 43 - 46 ° do u know what's mostl likely the cause ?
my phone feels like an oven and i tried flashing official firmware but it the same problem i can't find any solution or similar experience to anyone
hi there
i want to be sure that my mobo is dead, so i'll describe my situation and hope that someone in here will help me to revive my precious note4.
my phone worked just fine until 2 weeks ago, then it started to bootloop whenever it got too hot and got back to normal state after being shut down for a few minutes.
i never got any emmc errors, so i figured out that maybe a fresh start would help. it had MM already, so i flashed it with the latest firmware i could find (N910FXXU1DRF1) and wiped it... the phone worked after this, but the problem wasn't fixed, and unfortunately, it died the day after.
now (and for the last whole week) i cant turn it on no matter what, and even when pluging chargers to the phone it doesnt respond. i've tried using another battery, but it didnt help (also, the battery works fine with other phones).
i've tried to get into download mode/recovery, but... no respond to that either. pressing the power button for long periods with and without the battery also had no impact.
btw, the phone would usually got hot on the top-right area of the screen, where the sd-card should be placed. (and i dont use an sd-card)
any help, advice or diagnosis will be welcomed
It looks like eMMC problem - he ded - do some more reading just to make sure that this is the case.
If you want a new motherboard, here are the options:
a. 910F or any similar Snapdragon - u don't know how long it's gonna last + AOSP ROM's up to Android 8 (for now).
b. 910A - bootloader locked - afaik is not possible to get a custom recovery & custom ROM, but I might be wrong + plus above
c. 910C or any Exynos - forum still active with solid options for custom ROM's - even a 7.0 TouchWizz ROM - go check it.
If you have $$$ go for another more recent phone. If you don't have money for a more recent phone (new or second hand) then - if I'll be you - I would choose the Exynos (910C) motherboard.
The only problem is - good, reliable source for the motherboard.
I have a 910C - it's rock solid and very happy with it.
Any decision is totally yours, read and learn so that you can live with the consequences of your freedom to choose what's best for you. Please, don't blame me for it afterwards.
