Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 Original

I am having the problem of not seeing the option in Network menu to enable 4G/LTE. I am running 4.3 right now. Our service provider Ooredoo in this country (Maldives) has released 4G and several others with the same model phone as mine can switch to 4G. I was wondering if there is any fix for this. I did hear about rooting the phone and deleting a file to fix this problem. I can't find out which file. and I have already downloaded a 4.3 firmware that said would fix the problem and flashed it. But there is no change.

And I am looking for the 4.4 Official Firmware for Galaxy S4 I9505 which can be used in my country.. Maldives.

And also is it possible to Downgrade the phone back to 4.3 after I flash 4.4?? From what I know so far it isnt.

I will post more information about the phone soon. Don't have it atm.

Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Alright so I was directed to a firmware on Sammobile

/firmwares/3/?download=27582

Model: GT-I9505

Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE

Country: Unknown

Version: Android 4.4.2

Changelist: 481100

Build date: Wed, 19 Mar 2014 10:39:06 +0000

Product Code: OMD

PDA: I9505XXUFNC9

CSC: I9505OMDFNC1

MODEM: I9505XXUFNC9

Does the country being Unknown have any effect on the firmware? The I9505XXUFNC9 firmware is said to be the international one but there is one on Sammobile that has country/carrier of Russia.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reecebot:
Hi guys,

I'm wondering if anyone can shed any light on what to do next. I've got an 6903 Xperia Z1 (LB, not rooted, 4.4.2) that seems to be stuck in fastboot or flashmode, with no screen showing and only a red light (some of the time). I've read up everything I can on the boards and have charged it for 18 hours (twice) but to no avail.

Here's what happened:

I used a Chinese car charger that I probably put on upside down (which might mean it shorted the battery).

This put it in a reboot loop that went Sony --> Xperia --> blackness --> Sony etc

I flashed C6903_14.1.G.1.534_[NUT] (no exclusions) which put it in a Sony --> Sony reboot loop.

I then flashed C6903_14.3.A.0.681_Generic_Global-1277-2880_R5C which didn't make any difference.

I flashed C6903_14.1.G.1.534_[NUT] (excluding kernel, baseband - I don't know why) and this put it into black screen only mode (with some steady red LED sometimes).

I charged it for 18 hours.

From here I couldn't get it into flashmode or fastboot mode UNLESS I short the battery with the same charger.

Once I shorted the battery again I managed to get it into flashmode (permanently, I think) and do a "repair" on the Sony Bridge for Mac up to the latest android. It went fine, apparently, but unplugging it didn't allow it to be turned off or turned on again. It seems like now when it's plugged in it's always in flashmode (or I can put it in fastboot mode). I can flash whatever I want, it seems, but to no avail.

I have since flashed both the above FTFs.

Any suggestions for what to do next?

Thank you!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Press and hold both the power button and volume up button until it vibrates 3 times.

Then do a repair again.

Then throw that Chinese charger in the bin

then flash a 534 ftf, install dual recovery then flash the rom of your choice.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorapido:
After replacing the screen/digitizer/led unit in my 2012 nexus 7, the screen is laggy and responds poorly to touch inputs. Particularly when typing, it will mistakenly repeat characters and sometimes not respond to my touch. I think I bought a crappy non-OEM replacement. I ordered from Amazon from a seller called Bravolink. Here is the seller link on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HITTFDE/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Did I mistakenly buy a crappy replacement? Can anybody recommend somebody who can supply true OEM, top-quality replacement screen/digitizer/LED units? I will hope to return this one. Otherwise, I might just sell the unit as-is and buy a 2013 Nexus 7.

Thanks for any advice anybody can give.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AASonyKK:
Return the screen to the seller.

I think you can look on ebay, but I suggest you to always ask to the seller a confirm if the screen is original or not.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] spacepimp:
Hi,

I followed the sticky guide from the general section - I'm able flash roms, and cwm, root, etc.

However

Although I have adequate signal - i'm able to use 3g data - I can't make or recieve calls or texts.

Everything seems to be working right up until dialling a number - when the phone immediately hangs up.

I've spent quite a few hours over the last couple of days looking round XDA for similar problems - and the issue (phone immediately hangs up but data is working) seems relatively common - but no joy yet - except for trying a new rom, toggling data on and off, and a new motherboard.

I've tried several roms, including an out-of-region stock, and formatted everything except the sdcard, and nothing is solving the issue.

I'm guessing I've mashed up something to do with the radio- as I think it's not starting - but I don't understand how flashing a new rom doesn't replace the corrupted files and resolve the issue.

is there a way of formatting absolutely everything and then reinstalling everything from scratch?

Will a phone repair shop on the high street be able to flash something I can't flash over usb?

Further details: opening call forwarding settings gives a "Call settings error - network or sim error" message

likewise "Caller ID" etc.

The IMEI is displayed correctly, but the phone does not show my phone number.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] coolcav:
At times, when I am using wifi calling, the incoming call directly goes to voice mail. I don't get the ring. This has happened to me more than a couple of times.

Out going calls are working fine, even when incoming calls are directed to voice mail. Incoming calls work after I turn off and turn on wifi.

Tmobile signal is very weak in my apartment and I rely on wifi calling to make/receive calls.

I am wondering if this is issue with my phone only.. :confused:

Is any one else facing this issue?

I hope there is a fix for this issue..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gilbnx:
It happened to me sometimes in the past (sgs4) and I think also one time with the sgs5.

How is your Wi-Fi signal? It might be that you are losing Wi-Fi from time to time and as a result you are being de-register from the T-Mobile network (and the incoming call is being diverted to voicemail).

Maybe try to keep the phone in a very good Wi-Fi coverage area for few hours, make some incoming test calls and see how it works?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] philow:
I have the same problem. I turned on WiFi calling and my Son called from across the table and my phone never rang. Three times he tried and all three time it went to voicemail. I have excellent T-Mobile signal so I have turned off WiFi Calling. I also had an excellent WiFi signal when we were testing it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] glxys:
Same problem here my boss called me 6 times and my girlfriend 3 times.. never got one call wth outgoing works every time though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] philfna:
I have the same issue it is quite annoying...help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cjk2010:
Same thing happens to me constantly ....

Not just calls though , incoming MMS also.

My WiFi coverage is very very good in the office but my cellular not so much. This is becoming a major annoyance for me as well. I have to toggle WiFi to check for visual voice mail or MMS
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] philfna:
In my case I figured it out. "conditional forwarding" was somehow turned on with the device. I didn't do it, and when I called t-mobile they turned it off, and it works fine. Doing the ##004# didn't clear it t-mobile had to do it in the provisioning profile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cjk2010:
Wish it was the case with mine.... Its def a wifi calling issue here that can be replicated 100% of the time.

galaxy s5

have you found anything out about this issue yet ?

i have bought a new s5 and have same issue, no incoming calls unless i turn wifi off, then it works fine

sim card has been replaced, samsung have even replaced handset and exactly same occurs

i have turned off 4g so its only on 3g/2g

the network have turned off all call barring etc settings

if i put my sim in my old S3 it works flawless, if i put my wifes sim in my s5 it also works flawless

network or samsung cant work it out, its been factory reset like 6 times now its driving me mad

thanks Richard
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ctaranto:
Though I've only had the S5 (4 of them) for about a week, incoming calls usually work. There was one time in the past week where my wife's phone went to voicemail immediately (called 3 times, 3 times into VM). When I came home, I toggled wifi calling off and on, then it worked fine. Has been fine since.

Wifi signal at the time was as strong as can be.

Hopefully future firmware updates will make it more solid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] silverghost999:
I have the same problem, come on Samsung, we need a fix, I am still in the first 14 days of my contract and have requested a replacement handset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vvveith:
I don't get text when wifi calling is enabled. Just started happening to me after the NF6 upgrade. TMO said they have many people with the new update that this is being reported and might have it fixed in a day or two.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] legendindisguise:
^^^ I thought that I was the only one having this problem. As it just started after doing the NF6 update. Wifi calling and texting has been real erratic, especially texts. If I restart the phone or switch airplane mode to off then back on texts go crazy for a little bit and then stops working again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] jjlean:
This phone has nothing but problems worth wifi calling and texts, missing calls and frankly for a $600 it's a joke. Not to mention battery covers falling off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ssgokou29:
Has anyone found a fix for this? It just started happening again to me. Last time I was told need to shut off qifi calling first then, wifi when leaving the area of my wifi (home) worked for awhile, then recently found out I'm not getting calls again. Texts seem to work on I think, but not calls. Wifi calling is a must for me as tmobile signal is low in my house
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ssgokou29:
Just got off the phone with tmobile apparently my "wifi" calling "provision" was not turned on my line. We'll see if it fixes the issue, we'll see. Just an FYI for people who still encounter this issue, might be worth the try
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] idlethinker:
I started having this issue about 2 weeks ago. Its not restricted to texting, but both texting and calling. I bought the S5 back in February and had no problems when connected to Wifi at home. At times my connection would be over 10 hours, I could call, receive calls, text, surf no issues. After the slew of updates I started noticing that calls going to VM even though I was connected to the WiFi. No call would show up in the caller logs.

It was intermittent, and therefore escaped my attention. But recently the issue is more consistent. Following is a summary of what occurs:

1 - When Wi fi is enabled and connected and i try to make a call, they call goes through but immediately disconnects

2 - When Wi fi is enabled and I try to call it from another phone the call goes straight to VM

3 - When Wi fi is enabled and a friend texts me, the text does not show up

4 - In the rare instance when Wi fi is enabled and I do manage to call out the call will disconnect after about 5 minutes

5 - I am able to surf and receive and send emails over wifi

Essentially this $700+ phone has just become a pricey laptop. I did call T-Mobile Tech support, and after an hour on the phone they issued a ticket that pushes the issue up to the engineers. Still waiting to hear from them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ssgokou29:
I have almost all the issues you listed above, and the only fix is to soft rest my phone every time i get home, then i call 611 to make sure my wifi calling is working.

I've been talking to tmobile for months, and before it seemed ok, then all of a sudden not "constantly" not working.

They "told" you an engineer is working on it...NO THEY ARE NOT.

My ticket sat in a queue from Sunday to Thursday because they are backed up.

If they tell you they will call you back,....no they wont.

I've gone through two "supervisors" supposedly, and still no resolution.

Supposed to get a call back from the 2nd one who is a higher person and/or "engineer" with a resolution....i'm not holding my breath.

They've lost all credibility with me and i will need to see some action in order for them to gain it back. Being with them for 13 years, when it was called Voicestream back then, and all i get is the run-around and more excuses to by themselves more time? That piss-poor customer service.

If 3 people have to ask me if my firmware up-to-date, WTH is the point of telling me you noted my account? Apparently the last person didn't of you didn't bother reading the notes after putting me on hold to say your're reviewing the notes on my account.

Sorry for the long rant, but short story, take what they tell you with a grain of salt and follow up with them daily if you want this issue fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] idlethinker:
Wifi Calling issue with S5

Wow! The 611 rep told me that they have not heard of this problem before. After the call I googled and came up with several hits dating back to 2013. This has been a problem in previous versions, but it was not a problem on the first S5, just the updates killed it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ssgokou29:
LOL i'm not surprised. It's really sad, supposedly it's a known issue, from what some reps have told me before.

All they are doing is buying themselves times.

You should tell them to log onto a forum while your on the phone and/or do a google search and tell me it's still tell me they have not heard of the problem before.

MAYBE the "rep" never heard of it, but it should be all over their intranet or notes.

They told me, thats what some of release updates have been about.

I got the phone on launch day and already 2 firmware updates.

I could go on and on about the BS, but it's frustrating to bring up. Not sure how you feel, but for a $700+ phone, i want it to work without me having to reset for a feature that TMOBILE prides itself on.

i'll report back what they tell me. good luck to us both, we're going to need it.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkaluza:
Well yes and no-flashing build 05-20 solves the problem, so it's at least partially ROM dependent. And the only significant difference is -O3 for thumb code instead of -Os. But I'll test the location thing.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkaluza:
Ok your hint with location helped. There's also another solution - in advanced wifi settings enable 'scanning always available' and you can use any location settings you want.
