Wi-Fi Lost!

Out of the blue I've lost my Wi-Fi capability on my S4.
I've restarted & turned off the phone to no avail. My phone shows up on my router's control panel as active as well as a couple of apps I have.
I've also forgot the connection & reentered all necessary info. Mobile connectivity is fine but as soon as I switch Wi-Fi back on, no tweets, FB notifications, etc.
Suggestions, ideas? TX

Are you on stock rom? Do other devices work on your wifi

I don't want you to root either. It sounds like to me that it's a hardware issue with your phone.

Well, even though my router gave all indications that it was picking up the phone I tried a hunch. Rebooted the router & Wi-Fi is back!

Update Today PB5

Update today for connectivity issues and secuity fixes.
Note: My lock animation is gone. Anyone else?
Edit: Reboot fixed the issue above.

Just checked, mine installed PB5 overnight without any approval from me required.

Interesting

Phone still only gets 3 OST, can't make a call and use data, and the battery life suck... And I'll never root... Nice camera though...

Hmm I can make a call and use data and my battery life is great. Oh and yes I have a great camera too.

My phone lags too. Probably have a lemon...

You need to turn on advanced calling to have simultaneous voice and data. It's in settings -> wireless and networks -> advanced calling

Lost data on calls.

Have 4g when not on call. 1x on call. I have a us unlocked running on verizon. Latest twrp. Have tried Venom and ice. Loafing leesroid now to try. Advanced calling also messed up. I have no wifi calling option. Called verizon and all turned on. Have tried format data. Not sure what to try next. I'm s-off and unlocked. Any ideas?

Also when I ran ice was first time I got video options on call. Grayed out tho. I'm sure I missed something but can't find it.

Remove VOLTE/Advanced calling from your account. Flash the RUU. Factory reset using the stock recovery. Activate advanced calling from the phone itself (not the online verizon portal). Reboot phone after 5 minutes. Test.

So, go to website. Remove advanced calling and anything volte related. Then do phone and let phone reactivate everything? Just want to be clear. I respect your advice and have used your stuff on my phone for awhile.

Yes. That's the cleanest method for testing.

K. Doing it now. I will reply here when done. Thank you very much.

No luck. Turned off everything. Wiped phone. Formated data. Used your ruu.exe to flash. Still 1x on calls and no advanced calling. Activated using phone only once rebooted. Any ideas?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

With stock software lost the video option on all. Was always grayed out anyway. And when rebooted the option to activate was grayed out. Did not get the verizon page to activate like on ice rom.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Did it all again. This time worked better. Got new activation pages never had before. About activating after 5 minutes. Did that. Says added new features. But 1x still on calls and no video options on calls.

So after using dottat ruu.exe for . 22 and seems like after it settled I have volte working again along with wifi calling. Never seen a toast before that I was on wifi calling. Also HD calling working. No notifications for HD buy can hear the difference when I call people who have edge 7 and iPhone 6. Still running complete stock setup and hoping will stay when I flash Venom. Doing a backup for sure first. Still no video calling.

Good deal.. I'm strongly believing that the VZW/HTC volte issues have finally been put to rest. This was a problem on the m9 as well and is no longer.

Yes.. I think it should as long as they have included the appropriate system files. (they normally DO).

I've tried this 5 times with a couple different ruu's with no luck. I first noticed this happening after I tried flashing leedroid nougat Rom and got no service on it so I restored my backup and got service but no data on calls, just 1x. When I go to the vpn, in the list of bearers, mine just shows ehrpd and LTE. My gf pixel shows gprs, ehrpd, hsupa, hspap, hspa, hsdpa, LTE, umts, and edge. The rest of the vpn settings are the same. I have also noticed when I go into settings, about, network that it sometimes shows "3107" in the operator section. Any other ideas?

Wipe radios? Flashing firmware and/or ruu doesn't do that?

Damn, I hate fastboot lol. Had a hell of a time getting my computer to see my 10 last time. Plus I use it so little I have to watch YouTube videos and how to every time I have to set it up again. So just wipe those two then reflash RUU?

everything is working great. fone is little faster. I got issue in calling after update, its only allowing emergency call. After a restart that is resolved. so far so go.

I've noticed something cool with Bluetooth audio. Before you could set the volume of the phone and the Bluetooth device separately. I noticed that when I turned the volume up on the phone the soundbar volume indicator was going up. So I pulled up the volume slider on the phone and started adjusting the volume using my soundbar remote. The slider on the phone started moving by itself. It seems to me now the phone adjusts itself to the speaker volume.

Factory Firmware or Unbranded ?

can anyone upload the update here? so i can manualy update mine. im outside usa..thankyou

Does anyone know if this is available with SmartSwitch - specifically without SIM in? My son is using my old s7 edge without an active SIM, would love to avoid having to deal with popping out the SIM from my s9+ to pull down the update for him, but if I have to, so be it.
At least the s7 edge is getting updates.

Just a FYI since I've seen others ask how to turn that off...
You can disable it in Bluetooth Settings (along with Ringtone volume as well). Go into Bluetooth Settings and click the 3-dots at the top right for "Media Volume Sync" or "Phone ringtone sync" while the device is connected.

My S7E has failed the update process three straight times. Downloading it on another S7E right now to see what happens there.

Do you have an AT&T sim card installed? If not, that's why. You could always try to update using Smart Switch.

I'm not sure if it resets your phone. You get it from Samsung website.

Now I'm really confused. Smart switch is telling me that 7.0 is the latest version available. I don't understand what is going on . I was able to update this a few months ago and have never rooted or anything

Ok. The unlocked firmware is still only on 7.0. If it's still at&t and using a T-Mobile SIM it won't register an update. The servers won't accept any device not using an att sim.

The only way around it is to use Odin. But that will wipe your phone. Do you have any friends or family that use att?

OOS 10, Connection Type in status bar

Recently updated to OOS 10 and the status bar signal icon doesn't show the connection type (LTE, 3G, etc.) I'm pretty sure it was there on OOS 9 but maybe I'm mistaken. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Yeah, I should have clarified that I'm talking about when wifi is off.

I'm using xXx NoLimits on my rooted OP6t so on a hunch I disabled it and rebooted. Lo and behold, the LTE icon came back. I re-enabled xXx, rebooted again and the LTE icon stayed. Ultimately, it may have just been the reboot that fixed it but at least it's back. Thanks to those who replied.
