S4 GT-I9505 LTE - WiFi Issues

S4 GT-I9505 LTE - WiFi Not turning on after flashing stock 4.4.2 to Omega v30

I followed the instructions...

Flashed the bootloader first in Odin

Flashed Modem XXUFNC9 in Odin– rebooted into Android and made sure modem was flashed.

Rebooted into recovery, did full wipe and installed Omega v30 from zip file.

Rebooted into Android, everything worked other than WiFi wont turn on.

So I tried to Reinstall the Modem via Odin – rebooted and still can’t turn WiFi on, as soon as I click to turn WiFi on I get security thing pop “Your devices security has blocked an action” as soon as I click on that message and select App Info it takes me to Knox Notification Manager, so I think it might be that.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (Yes I have done a lot of reading to try and solve this) but obviously I have not found the right place yet.

I tried flashing with I9505XXUFNC(-WiFi-FIX(NON-HLOS) but didn't fix the issue.

Phone Info is:

GT-I9505

Baseband I9505XXUFNC9

Kernel: 3.4.0-481100 dpi@SWDD5701 #1, Wed Mar 12

Build KOT49H.I9505CCUFNC6

Boot Status Type: Samsung

Security Software version: MDF v1.0 Release 2

When I flashed back to stock standard ROM via Odin the WiFi works perfectly.

Kids Mode?

Based on firmware VJUGNE2 Android 4.4.2 (Date: 16/05/2014)

Kernel talexop v2.51

New:

Kids Mode added to custom installation at aroma

Hi All,

Is the "Kids Mode" the only new feat of Omega v31 or does the new firmware bring better performances?

I'm personally not interested in the kid mode and so unless there're significant performance improvements I'm going to pass this time around.

It would be great to know what are the benefits of firmware VJUGNE2 and maybe write them down in the new changelog.

I really don't want to sound snobby nor ungrateful as Omega is THE BEST rom I've ever had on my S4 however (and I hope not to be the only one) when I read a changelog I expecting to read about performance and technical improvement in additions to the usual update of the usual Gapps etc etc ...

Until Omega v30 I was on Omega v25 as none of the updates were significant to me but then for the Omega v30 I read about the overall better performance of firmware XXUGNE5 and it convinced me to upgrade.

Is it still case with v31?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rm501:
Hi

Is there a way to force 4G? I have decent 4G signal, however the phone keeps switching back and forth to 3G.

Many thanks

PS, I'm on an older Omega 4.4.2 ROM
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nickmax1:
EliaAlberti

Hard to tell, as Samsung dont give out changelogs per se, but the changelist is higher i think, which suggests incremental differences.

I am in the same boat as you, I dont care much for kids mode so I think I wont rush out to install this one just yet - I think there is a user on xda that reviews these new versions (stock) but I cant find it just yet....I will post if I do.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] EliaAlberti:
Not that I know of. Unless there's an app or a custom Xposed module which does exactly that, I don't think it's possible.

Why would you want to stay on LTE/4G only? What if you've got no 4G coverage, what will you do then?

Even if it was possible I wouldn't personally do it nor recommend doing it.

My 2c

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

Yes I see what you mean, I'm sure it's not the easiest thing to retrieve firmware's changelogs but if you manage to find the review let me know I'll greatly appreciate it :) Thanks mate
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jimbobmcginty:
At the moment almost all carriers cannot support voice calls on 4G. When an incoming call is detected the network will tell the phone to switch back to 3G or 2G temporarily, so if you switched both off you couldn't take or make calls.

Must useful for me would be to switch off 2G since my network is 4G/3G only.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rm501:
Because there are times when i need to purely access the internet via tethering on my laptop and i don't need to make or expect to receive calls for the duration. - i would turn it back to 2G/3G/4G auto after i'm done.

I'm surprised there isnt anything. I tried a couple of apps but none worked. I alse found some hidden menu codes, but did not work either on my i9505 :(

Will removing KNOX resolve the WiFi not turning on issue? As its a KNOX security notification I get when I try to turn WiFi on? I would love to go back to using Omega but had to change back to stock Rom as I use WiFi 95% of the time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] petrusconsult:
Can you give more details, please ? Which Omega ROM do you used ?

What modem do you have ?

What boot loader - old one or new ?

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

All Omega ROMs are with removed KNOX.

If you are running old bootloader, you should flash new one by Odin.

Please read careffuly instructions included in ROM's start post

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FunkyFerret:
I ended up flashing the Modem 3 times in total. I checked Phone every time to check the modem and it seemed to stick, but each time I tried to turn WiFi on I got the KNOX Notification "Your devices security has blocked an action” Its so frustrating as I really don't like running Stock.

Hello fellow nerds. After some informal testing I can confirm that deleting/renaming velvet.apk and installing the Google Play Services 480dpi significantly decreases battery consumption during device idle.

I used to drain 1%/hour while idle before modding the system files. Last night I lost only 9% in 12 hours - that's compared to 6% in 6 hours. Thanks to [MENTION=1495194]buggerritt[/MENTION] for posting this on the Goldeneye forum http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53041819&postcount=13973. velvet.apk is located in system/priv-app

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bulla80:
Sounds like a good idea, can you give a little more detailed information as to how you did it please? Like file location and if you installed Google Play Services over the current or did you have to remove the original first??

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] petrusconsult:
It's very strange. I have the same issu but with stock not rooted ROM.

After rooting, the KNOX is blocked by SU.

Do you have an international version of I9505 ?

Did you flash a correct recovery ?

Do you use a correct CF-Autoroot to root stock ?

It really looks strange.

About flashing modem, I use this procedure :

1. In Odin UNCHECK Autoreboot

2. After flashing is done, remove usb cable and put out the battery

3. After few seconds, put the battery into the phone and repeat all, but this time leave Autoreboot CHECKED.

It works for me.

Second way is to extract modem.bin and non-hlos.bin from tar files, and flash them in Odin as bin files in PHONE.

But, the above solutions, won't work with stock ROM. Only with a custom one.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
I see for a few versions that the modem is XXUFNC9. Is it advised to stay on tihis modem, or must i flash modem VJUGNE2.

You can try differnet modems (as long as you use KitKat modems), and look wich one suits you best.

I have no random reboot since I move to KT kernel. this is thats why I stay on this kernel by now
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] stevvie:
probably the same reason cutting the google play service ties with greenify reduces battery consumption. also the first 2 things i remove once the rom has booted are SNS and google search (which is the velvet.apk), these 2 are the biggest battery wastes for me. but I understand that some people want SNS and google search, so its all personal preference.

Same here using KT kernal and not had 1 reboot on V30
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] eejee:
It is still not clear why some have reboots and others don't. It can also take some time before the reboots start, and then they really are all over the place. For me, the reboots on NE5 started after three days and on NE2 after five days of use. Before that, I really enjoyed the improvements.

The reboots mostly occur when unlocking the phone. I'm quite sure it has something to do with security features - it reminds me of the lockscreen issues of a few months ago when you were still on the old bootloader.

Edit: forgot to say that I've tried all available kernels, but no use.

Maybe people with reboots should also put kernel/version of kernel and security type and maybe even widgets on the lock screen. if the reboots happen on unlocking phone.

Hrmmm... Same problem in v31. Option "Lock immediately when the power button is pressed" not enabled, I get that behaviour. Every single time I pick up my phone I have to unlock it. I prefer to just use the timer to activate the lock screen.

Has noone else encountered this problem?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] eejee:
I think that this issue, the random reboots issue and the not functioning lock delay after p.e. 30 seconds all have the same firmware origin, in which the functionality of the lock screen plays a central role. Hopefully someone can find a workaround, and otherwise we just have to wait for a firmware update - or go back to a pre-NE5 version.

There are no 2 identical devices. And also, some users may use mods that can affect on or other functionallity of the Omega ROM.

Personally, I always use Talexop kernel and has no problems like others here.

I can only advice to always do a clean install of the ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] eejee:
I always do a clean install. I am also reading a German forum on this issue. Most contributors there use plain firmware though Odin or ota through Kies and many experience the same issue. So no custom roms. In the most recent posts however they claim that reboots occur while PageBuddyNotiSvc (considered bloatware) is deactivated (or deleted), but the reboots vanish after activating that again. Can somebody verify this? I myself have returned to an older version, so it is a bit cumbersome for me to do. TIA.
