2 - With my micro sd to usb adaptor the card dont show anything (like corrupted) and if I format it, there is only 1GB or 100KB of free space... It is a Original card.

3 - My new eBay usb cable appear to be very slow in charging and when sending something to the S4. Can be a problem in the cable or in the computer/s4?

Hi,

I recently was getting frustrated with the ROM Gummy. ROM GUMMY: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2563973) so i wanted to try something new and never thought i'd get a problem as when i flashed GUMMY it was so simple and everything worked.

However, when i flashed to the ROM S4 Google Edition: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544474) i noticed my signal / network won't stay connected. It may work for 2mins then disconnect - so i tried another ROM thinking it was caused by the S4 Google Edition.

I'm now currently on KOT49H【4.4.2】Google Play Edition (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2557353) and still getting no signal, only if i keep changing it to automatically find a network.

I've been reading it could do with Modems, or have i really messed something up and won't be able to fix my phone? I'm sort of new to this all so if you could explain more than tell me to do something that would be great.

When flashing a new ROM to your phone, I always lose all apps, settings and such. Flashing ROMs too often can be a pain as this is also my daily phone which I use. So my question is if you have any means to restore apps with their settings, home screens with widgets back the way they were, lock screen as it was (Widgetlocker for me) and generally just have things the way they were apps and settings wise? Or do you go through the whole re-setting phase as well?

I tried using Kies to back all up and then restoring. It did okay restoring most of the apps, but that's it. All had to be set up again from the phone settings to apps and home widgets.

Phone boots up in download mode

I've posted my problem in last post.

this is for the solution I got

sorry. but I don't get to see how's that gonna help.

I just bought the phone yesterday. It was working all fine till 7 pm. then I went to gym and after 1 hour I found my phone switched off .

it didn't boot up.

Today morning I made it boot up in recovery mode. cleaned all the caches and even did the factory reset. the phone worked fine for like 10 minutes and then went on restart mode.

So I took off the battery and left it out for like 2 minutes. I inserted the battery back and again the same problem

Boots into download mode :(

I'll get a new battery but I need to know how's that gonna fix my problem.

I even thought if changing my kernel, but since the phone is not even 24 hours late I didn't go for that option.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

Like it was already states your problem is with the modem, actually one of the best ways to discover what to do is trying yourself some of them, if you flash a modem incompatible with your boot loader then the audio will stop working ;), if that happens make sure to downgrade it!

I had a similar issue to what you're having, when I turned off the screen the it would lost all signal and take some minutes to get back. If I'm not wrong I flashed MJ5 or something like this to solve my problem, make sure you search in the thread for which one they recommend, just be warned that it may or may not work ;). Depends on your device ;).

Hi,

I'm unsure if a new battery will solve your problem, you can try getting a friend's battery and testing it in your device.

If you got the phone yesterday why don't you try taking it back go warranty ;). I'm almost sure it can be a hardware issue, therefore the warranty will exchange it. Except if you rooted or something like this... Then it's hard to get it back for free.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzzzzz:
Hi Again Guys,

My phone recently wasn't getting any signal when i flashed to the ROM 4.4.2. So people said to flash back to the stock rom, i have now done that and the WiFi stopped working. I can't even download a ROM manager to try and load another ROM.

I think i've really messed up my phone. I want to wipe everything completely and start from new, then re try flashing to the latest ROM 4.4.2 so i can get my WiFi and Mobile Data working again. I can't get calls without it having a black screen / no sound. My phone keeps turning off every so often.

I think i've missed matched wrong Modems and Baseband Versions?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
flash custom roms and decide.

wifi/sound issue has something to do with modem. you can take a look on this thread to know much more
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mussels84:
to explain this to you, and anyone else:

Your 4G/LTE modem (called non-HLOS.bin) needs to match your bootloader.

Your bootloader has to match your rom - 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 - you cant ever downgrade your bootloader.

so if you went to a 4.4 rom, installed a 4.3 modem and then went back to 4.2, all kinds of **** would be broken.

So basic steps for EVERYONE to follow:

1.pick the rom you want. no one can help you if you change android versions without telling us.

2. flash an LTE modem that matches your bootloader - 4.3 bootloader? flash a 4.3 LTE modem, REGARDLESS OF YOUR ROM. (this fixes wifi and sound)

2. Flash the 3G modem that is as new, or newer than the rom (an NB1 rom will work with an NB1 modem, or newer)

suddenly, everything will work. this is why flashing the latest stock rom via ODIN works, because it gives you a matching ROM, modem, LTE modem and bootloader in one go.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzzzzz:

2. In this thread i have just asked for the best Modem for that ROM. How can i tell if it will match my bootloader? for future reference.

3. Flash the 3G modem? Shall i ask for that in that thread above too?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mussels84:
1. thats a 4.4.2 ROM, so any modem released after 4.4.2 will work. i'm using NBH modem on 4.4.2, should work for you too.

2. Bootloader is unique to your phone, based on the highest version of the stock samsung rom you ODIN flashed/it came with. too many combinations out there, if you've already got/voided KNOX, you might as well flash the NBH bootloader, modem, and LTE modem all in one go to avoid future troubles (this means you cant use any stock samsung roms earlier than NBH, but custom roms will be fine)

3. see #1

GT-I9506

Hello,

I am a noob.

I recently got a new Samsung GT-I9506 through Telstra in Australia.

As soon as i got it home it told me there was a firmware update.

Through Kies I did as it asked and updated. The new version is 4.3

After the update it also told me that I needed Kies3. So that was installed.

Immediately after the update I found my wireless was unavailable to be switched on. You can toggle the switch through settings or the drop down menu or whatever you like. It will not even turn on at all.

Took the phone back and was given another one.

Come home, same story all over again. This appears to be the only issue, the wireless that is.

I searched on the internet for solutions and stupidly "rooted" my phone. Now Samsung and Telstra don't want to know me.

Oh also when the phone is booted it shows in red SECURE FAIL : KERNEL Then it boots as normal.

Is there a way to "unroot" my phone back to stock and the 4.2.2 firmware?

Then at least I can return the phone or most likely wont have to as the wireless worked fine on the stock firmware.

Please help me Obi Wan, You're our only hope!!!

you have to install the same as what you have, or newer - you CANNOT downgrade the bootloader, which breaks wifi and sound when you flash an older rom.

you need to go with what you have, or newer - dont worry if its from a different country or provider.

Like others already said there's no need to worry, your battery and system are fine! As it shows it was with screen off for a long time, so Android probably popped up sometimes then, also, it's pretty different from the others battery lives report due to the low screen on time, so don't worry ;). My S4 didn't last 13h hahahaha! But it had a long screen on time :D.
