hello, im having problem that my wifi not turning on, on TW rom. but in CM14.1 (lineage OS) the wifi will work again. so what is problem right now? rom or hardware?
How can it be hardware if it works on Lineage but it doesn't work on TouchWiz?
What's the logic behind that?
Broken hardware is a constant. It won't change just because you switched ROMs.
For example: if your screen is broken, then it is broken on ALL ROMs. It won't magically repair itself just because you changed software.
Same applies to any other physical damage a phone may suffer.
i don't know what problem is. mybe i should try flash stock firmware.

It seems like these two models are very very similar, and I have seen threads where people want to install i9505 roms on i9515, but what about the other way around? There are no published roms for the i9505 in my country, but there are roms for i9515. Will I brick the phone if I install an i9515 rom on my i9505?
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks!
Where have you found roms for i9515? Devs are still working to port cm11, there is no custom rom available for i9515 (value edition)... As far as I know

I haven't been looking for custom roms from i9515. I was going to put the stock i9515 rom for my country (from sammobile) on my i9505 because there are no i9505 roms designed for here. I was hoping that would help solve some modem and gps problems that I've been having. Maybe having a rom that is designed for here would solve the issue.
The thing is that i9515 has different WiFi and Bluetooth modules... I don't think it would work, it would probably work partially

Hm. So the rom would load, but it's not really close enough to run cleanly, it sounds like. Different WiFi and Bluetooth is enough to call it "Value Edition"? There aren't enough different models and sub-models of the Galaxy line out there, they had to tweak radios just to make another one? Sometimes (many times) I just don't understand their logic.
Any other differences to note that you know of?
Yes... That the value edition has no development... I had a i9505 before, (now deep in the sea, rest in peace) now it seems to be a bit smoother, WiFi is more stable... But maybe just because it's a new device... The rest is exactly the same to me...

Maybe I should just break down and take it to the Samsung repair center and see what they can do with the GPS, then. Unless you have any ideas...? The problem (which I posted elsewhere looking for assistance) is that only if I disconnect/reconnect the GPS antenna, then the GPS works well for about a day. Then it goes dead until I disconnect/reconnect the antenna again. When it works, it's great. But I can't keep that up. I need to find a fix or get rid of the phone. (Maybe move to the OnePlus. My son just got one and he's very happy with it.)
Have you already tried restoring Phone with Factory reset etc? No other i9505 works?
+1
Just a final followup to close the thread - I wound up doing a total system clean wipe - delete dalvik, cache, system, data - everything, and then did a clean install of Optimized CM 12.1 (custom ROM here on the board), and everything sprang back to life. So there evidently were no hardware issues and now the phone works as it should, GPS locks in quickly, etc. No need to dump it and replace it. Happy Ending.

Hi,
I have a Canadian Note 3, it is rooted and has a custom recovery on it. I used to have the Tweaked ROM which worked perfectly even the GPS. I have tried to switch over to many different ROM's and even unroot and go back to stock but the GPS does not work in any of them. However if I re-install tweaked rom the GPS starts working again. I have tried various different fixes i could find, some have no effect and some put me in a boot loop. I would really like to try different ROMs and I need GPS to work. Anyone come across this problem or have a possible solution?
Thank you
Do you at least go out of the house to test gps ? Many don't...
Yes, I went outside and drove around for 10 min and then stood in a single place for another 10 and put the phone near the windshield, but still nothing!
Is this Tweaked rom based on S5 firmware ?
If so, there is a thread on how to make gps work if coming from S5 based roms.

No I don't think it is the S5 firmware based. It is the version before that (TweakenN3)
If anyone encounters the same problem, I installed Lean Kernel and that fixed the GPS issue.
I look a wile around the internet before bringing my problem here.
My issue is like this. I use cm 12.1 and at some point few days ago my GPS stop working. I mean my phone cannot see any GPS Satellite.
I try the following:
Put back the official rom, both 4.4.4 and 5.0
Flash different Kernel.
Flash the PIT
Flash the modem.
Install 2-3 different Roms.
Now i'm back to cm 12.1 and is still have the same issue. What it can be? Is hardware problem? What i can do ?
Looking forward to your help guys.

I didn't face It in RR..Its Great! I faced that Problem in the another MM rom that I flashed '
i Didn't face any problems in RR!
Two possible problems, the hardware of the phone (maybe something is damaged or bugged) orrr most common one is the software (because of ROMS or other stuff on installed)
Have you Fixed it?
i was facing same problem after flashing adityarom v3. i was sure that its not hardware problem because when i flash other roms, i don't face it.
try flashing other roms and make sure this is rom problem.
if it software problem, then try this few steps. might work
go to About Phone in the settings and tap 5 times on build number.
you'll get a message saying you are now a developer
go back and you'll find a new setting named developer option.
scroll down. under debugging tab there is few wifi settings. try changing them. change logger buffer size. that worked for me.
(some roms not having wifi options in developer options)
or try dialing *#*#4636#*#* in dialer
and check wifi information. change if needed. it might work.
also try disabling battery saver apps. some battery saver app frequently disable wifi to save battery.
hope it helped
Want to find a fix to all custom ROM's bootlooping on my SM-J320FN (did not bootloop before)
[
or alternatevly, i was wondering if modifying a some samsung galaxy SM-J320[something] nougat rom, to work on SM-J320FN would be possible (it has only android5.1.1 (lollipop) stock rom as far as im aware and i have searched quite a lot).
]
The thing is, i have the SM-J320FN (twrp and rooted) and for a while i ran various custom roms (based on nougat) on it with no problems. But then about a year ago it bootlooped on resurrection remix (which i had ran with not many problems for 1/2year). Then every custom rom (i tried RR, DotOS, ViperOS and more) began to give me a bootloop, only flashing the stock rom booted.
I wiped and formated everything i could, tried same country stock rom that i had originally and a different country one (thinking maybe the custom roms were not happy with something inside the stock rom that it was flashed after, but logically it does not seem even possible, as before flashing the custom one, the old one is wiped), but custom rom's just did not boot anymore. I could not log the boot either because it had boot animation but nothing showed in adb, i guess it did not get so far that it could connect with adb.
I suspect this may be caused by my camera not working (some hardware part most likely got damaged), because i think wiping my phone completely and flashing stock rom with Odin should restore every software part on the phone thus it would have to be something with hardware that's causing custom roms to bootloop, how else could the problem persist (i obviously might be wrong).
I don't remember when exactly the camera stopped working but i know for a fact that i had a custom rom at the same time, and it did not bootloop (for some time at least) and im also curious why this has not ever stopped the stock rom from booting if it is the case.
So basically what i wish i could do are two things. Firstly find what makes the stock roms able to boot correctly opposed to the custom ones. And secondly implement this to a similar models higher version rom or a custom rom (Nougat). Come to think of this, it seems a useful step to look how did the people that made these Nougat based rom's for SM-J320FN modify the rom so that it could run on it, the source code is open after all.
Why i want to have a higher android version on my phone? Because my countrys corona close contact detection app supports only 6.0 or higher and my banking app recently notified me that they will soon end support for my android version too (this is the real pusher for me as i use it very frequently and there is not really an alternative). And it would be nice to have some other apps too, that not compatible with Lollipop.
And yes, i know, just buying a newer phone would solve all my problems But im a minimalistic (and without money) person. The fact that i own a phone that is still working (or fixable) stops me mentally from buying a new one. Also as one would guess, i like tinkering with this kind of stuff (i study CS currently) and building a rom myself for my phone sounds like a cool and challenging project, as i have not done anything like this before (maybe this will help me: [guide]how to build/modify roms for samsung devices [7.0/6.0.1/maybe more]).
Anyways, i kinda got carried away with this post. But for now im tired and have to sleep so i'll just post this and will come back later to read this over, fix some mistakes (not a native english speaker) and add things i maybe missed.
If anyone read this through, im impressed and if you have the knowledge/time to answer then i Thank You in advance!
i need help i tried to install re dreaux but my phone bootloop on touch wiz custom rom so how can i fix that
