Wifi, bluetooth. Sim and sd card problems. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello people,
Does anybody have problems with Wi-Fi( sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and it shows a very poor signal and not all networks are visible), Bluetooth(won't work at all) and SD card mounting (keeps mounting and unmounting randomly)??
I'm using Samsung Galaxy S4(GT-I9505), CM13 (pretty much all nightlies I've used have the same problem), and switched back to TouchWiz, same problem. no fix.
If anyone knows or heard about these problems please tell me. And Thanks!

Yes I tried others, same problem. and no. SD card work fine, I dunno I think it has something to do with hardware, do you think so also?
I flashed back to TouchWiz, but Wi-Fi and Bluetooth still have problems, Bluetooth won't work at all, and Wi-Fi (doesn't work well, shows poor signal and not all available networks).
And SD and SIM cards are pretty moody, they keep mounting and unmounting randomly.

Hey! Did you ever find out what was wrong with this? Mine stopped detecting the SD card first and said it wasn't formatted right. Then went the wifi. Lastly, after a factory reset, it decided my SIM card wasn't there. It is. Everything was working beautifully for a few days with Legacy OS (I switched because I thought my Android update was why my wifi quit right after).
I tried the fix of putting pressure on the connector by putting a little piece of tape or folded paper over the connection point (just to the left of the flash- I'd post a link, but I'm not permitted yet- new user), but to no avail.

Very Unusual Problem 2G Networks Dead, 3G Fine

Well this is a new problem. My G1 seems to have decided it will not register on any 2G networks any more. Tried 3 SIM cards, all the same situation where 3G works fine then 2G fails completely.
I had been experiencing random cut outs on both the WiFi and mobile connections since upgrading to the latest Cyanogen firmware so upgraded to the latest radio. That worked fine for a couple of days but now no dice.
Also worth mentioning is that the device was crashing sometimes when the phone gets too much in the memory (for instance with a couple of widgets running it crashes when you start the camera).
Any advice would be great
Have gone all the way back to stock (and most things in between) in the hope than it was a bad flash but not looking that way
Also had the back off to see if there are any obvious problems (like a loose connection or obvious burnt board), but still no joy. Anyone know what sort of costs HTC would put in to get this sorted?

Touch Diamond 2 bad GPS Signal - Reason found

ok my english is not perfekt so i will make it short.
because i thought my first td2 was faulty i buyed another one. after some testing i found out its not the phone but its the sim card. i made a video. i think it speaks for itself. so far i know its not a td2 problem only but its the only that i can test.
youtube.com/watch?v=pCYIxWYYoqY
because of spam preventing im not able to post the full video link
in the video ive used a medion (eplus) sim card. now i have an other card from victorfox (d2). it seemed the d2 card works flawless. i tried to reboot the phone with flight mode turned on and inserted eplus card. this also works. if you turn flight mode off then the gps signal will gone after gps software restart. if you leave the software running you will also lose the signal, not instantly but sooner or later it will. with running eplus card you can temporarily get a signal by cold reboot the gps with related software like that ive used in the video for showing the sattelites.
if someon can verify my result feel free to respond.

[Q] (Question) No WIFI on HTC HD2 with WP7

Hi everybody,
I installed the WP7, everything seem to work, but no WIFI. Bluetooth works, voice works, camera and video..Everything but WIFI. It just says "searching.." but nothing happens.
DO I need to unlock the phone and use Cheveron to get WIFI? Can anybody help? I'm using Sandisk SD 2GB card.
**BTW
I'm from Israel, we don't have the WP7 here yet, so Microsoft IL don't even know what I'm talking about regarding the activation code. Sent mail to the US office, hope it'll go through.

this has been reported to be caused by an incomatible sd card. read HERE through the posts and you will find out more.
I think I read almost every thread possible regarding WP7 wifi. Looked there, will look again. Thanks.
Are you sure IT didnt work and your sdcard is compatible?
If yes try a low WLAN channel instead of a high one, i cant connect to my own WLAN if i use WLAN channel 11-13...dont know why
You could try removing your sd card and rebooting. Bear in mind it will essentially reset to default (new) install. And will format your sd card when inserted again. So be prepared to start from scratch.
Same with me, it found every other wifi except my own one. My solution was to switch off my phone, switch off my wifi. Then switch on my phone. Then switched on my wifi, and it found it.
Worked for me, with out taking out SD Card.

Had the same problem, phone could find other wifi but not my own. This solved it though.
I had a similar problem too.
Wifi was working on the most WiFi networks, except for mine.
It was necessary to enable Reverse Access to router. . .

HTC HD2 wifi error and SD card not founf. SOLUTION

Hi, I have an HTC HD2 with android NAND NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9G NAND. Have no sd card recognized and can't activate my wifi cause give an error. I was really mad about this problem and I notice there is no solution for some guys like me, so now I found a trick to solve it and maybe you find it usefull.
1. Turn off cellphone.
2. Remove SIM Card and SD micro card.
3. Turn on. Active the "only 2g network" in settings.
4. Reset, and keep the back cover open.
5. When turn ON, go to settings again and enter the sd card settings. There is no info cause there is no sd card insert.
6. As the back is open you can now insert the sd card. THE CARD SHOULD BE NOW AVAILABLE.
7. Go to activate wifi in wireless connection settings. For me is working.
8. Now active the Airplain Mode. And turn off you phone again.
9. Extract the SD microcard. Put the SIM CARD. Leave back cover open.
10. Turn ON. Deactivate Plain mode. Now you should get call signal. But again no sd and wifi
11. Repeating step 6. Go to SD card settings and insert SD card.
12. Try wifi and SD card. ALL WORKIN.
I hope it work for you. Please forget for my english.
Hi Shingo, hi all!
Finally somebody with the similar problem as mine...I was browsing and searching all over the net for the solution or workaround but without any success!
And it starts to drive me completely crazy!
Well I have HD2 with "CORE Droid 1.3 NAND" Android, and my main problem is something as yours but not exactly the same.
In my case, I CAN turn on WiFi after rebooting a phone, and it's working flawlessly UNTIL phone goes into standby. After 10mins or so (obviously after phone goes into complete sleep) when I wake up the phone I can see that my WiFi connection is gone and I CAN'T turn it back on cause it gives an error which you can see in Wireless settings (WiFi - Error).
Then, because of the obvious reason (wifi's not working), or maybe something else, all the apps which are depending on refreshing it's data from wifi (push mail, maps...) are force closing, starting with Google Services Framework, Maps, Beautiful Weather Widget...
I wanted to try your solution but if I pull out SD card and SIM card my phone doesn't even wants to boot up. Obviously because it has some crucial data stored on one of the partitions on SD card.
Another thing is that, if I pull out SIM card and boot I can't change anything in network settings...?!
I'm really not an expert, but maybe your Android NAND build is so much different than mine, so I can't apply your fix/solution...
If somebody else has an idea or maybe a possible solution, or even an advice what to do I would be so grateful!!!
Thank you all in advance!

Hi,
Just an update to my problem. Yesterday morning I've cloned (formated ext and copied) my Kingmax 16GB SD card to spare one I have which is also 16GB in capacity but from SanDisk.
I can confirm that from that time I didn't have either force closing apps or WiFi errors.
I don't know if somebody will find this information useful , but it saved me from my despair! I was really going crazy.
Since I'm using NAND CORE Droid v1.3 which has some of it's data on ext partition it even make sense that better/faster/just-another-brand SD card makes such a difference.
But, as I said, I'm just a noob here....if somebody has another opinion or suggestion, it's more than welcome
Thanx

OP5 unable to connect wifi / sim card cannot found!

Hello there, as topic says, my one plus 5 lost sim card and wifi connectivity.
OS:
Android version 9
OxygenOS version 9.0.3
I have tried:
Unplug / plug phone and sim etc multiple times ( both simcard slots)
Soft / Hard reset
Bluetooth seems to be working, not sure tho
Reseting all network setups thingy
Dialing *#06 doenst show me any MEID/IMEI code
Sim card is ok, working on my Iphone 4
Found couple threads about some modem firmware thingy, idk.
I havent dropped phone to water or anything, just normal outside humidity if something.
Everything else working normaly exept random lags while trying to figure wlan working. I still have warranty on so I guess ill send phone back there before trying any rooting this? Imo this seems like software issue.
Or any advice what I should try?
