[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
There are dozens of S4 clones. You have to find out some more info before you try and root it. It's also a really good idea to download the stock firmware if we can determine what it is, so if something doesn't go right, you can recover. Only thing worse than apps you don't want is a phone that doesn't work. ;)

Go to your Settings > About Phone section and screenshot everything about the android version, baseband version, build version, kernel version etc.

Sometimes they get really clever and fake that stuff too, but since there are already Chinese apps installed, doesn't seem like they went all in like that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsukihi:
So I had this problem with a custom ROM in the past so I changed to a different one.

However, the rom didn't 'click' with me so I decided to stick with the stock ROM.

I downloaded it from sammobile.com, it's N900W8 so I downloaded the Telus variant (my carrier)

However upon installing the rom, the carrier bloatware it came with was Bell.

The filename does end with _TLS so I know I downloaded the right one. I don't know if this is the source of the issue but I NEED my data to be working; I'm paying for 6gb and I can't get any of it.

I'm redownloading the Telus stock ROM as we speak, and I'm wondering if I need to factory reset every time I flash it with Odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToLife:
Look up the code to change your CSC, and I think you can just switch back to Telus. That's how it worked on my S4 anyways.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsukihi:
If I'm not mistaken, a CSC is a code that is like this, correct?

N900W8OYACNB7

Because if that is the case, both firmwares have the same CSC according to sammobile.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToLife:
Err that's not what I meant. There's a dialer code that you can type in to change your CSC to the Telus one. Doing that will wipe your phone and switch to the Telus carrier bloat. That's what happened when I was using a Bell sim on my Rogers S4.. wiped way too many times.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsukihi:
So I tried checking my voicemail and from what I know, everything is still with Telus. The only issue is the bloatware, which is not much of an issue. The biggest problem I have is that my phone refuses to connect to LTE (not a hardware problem since I've had it connect before)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToLife:
Do you have the Telus APN entered?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsukihi:
How would I be able to check?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsukihi:
Also I forgot to mention, there isn't any error message if I try to connect via mobile data.

It simply says "wi-fi and mobile data are turned off" in Chrome.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsukihi:
Oh. Well, another problem came up.

Data is being used at an exponentially greater rate than normal.

I downloaded an app that is 30mb and it recorded on my data usage at 70mb. :S
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToLife:
Maybe you have apps running in the background eating up your data? S:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsukihi:
My usage is telling me it was all from Play Store. It was around 70mb, I went back into play store and browsed for literally 30 seconds, went back and it was 72 (no downloads in background). Is it possible that this issue is caused by a custom kernel?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToLife:
Maybe the Play Store is updating? If you have time, maybe you should just flash a custom rom that's just very simple (not feature heavy) and go from there?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] greger:
Not sure if this is related to something that Vodafone in Sweden (nowdays Telenor) has implemented. Today I changed my old GSM SIM card to a new card that works with USMT. No issues the first 3-4 hours. Then I started to get popup windows now and then that has a header "Vodafone" and I can just close it. There seems to be no logic to when this popup occurs and how often. Its very annoying. Checked the "program" folder and I notice a new app called "Vodafone meny" there. My phone is bought without any locks or relation to Vodafone(Telenor).

My first question is obviosly if this is an FAQ and something that can be removed?

My second thing is that how they can install stuff on my mobile without my approval. This is obvisoly a question about privacy and I see this as a rootkit!!! Extremely annoying and a good reason to change from Vodafone to something else...

Many thanks!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaMasterT:
it seems to be that I did it totaly wrong when flashing my phone. I get a bootup: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." bla...

What did happend:

I had a custom rom from here (Android 4.3): "PACman v4.3 Build 1 nightly 20130909".

My baseband version was (as far as I can remember): XXUBMF8

I wanted to update to 4.4.2 and at first I tried to update the bootloader and modem with Odin 3.09

For bootloader I used this:

BL_I9505XXUFNAD_481100_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5

For modem I used this:

I9505XXUFNC9_GSM_LTE_Modems.tar

The flash with Odin was succesfull and it restarted. Unfortunately I coulnd find any changes in the settings windows under Android. There was still the old version under baseband (I think XXUBMF8) which was strange for me becaue of the flash. I also checked the baseband with a baseband checker tool and it was the same old version. I trayed the flash process a several time and it was always succesull but with no change in the settings.

Anyway, I flashed than a custom rom:

I9505_Omega_v28_XXUFNC9_md5_7C1D639DBBE5C01FE689DA F3B82406AC.zip

FLash was succesfull and Android started.

Under settings, still old baseband: XXUBMF8.

So I decided to update this (this was my first big mistake)..

I used Odin and flashed again the bootloader

BL_I9505XXUFNAD_481100_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5

And from here I get the error message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue."

Than - maybe my second big mistake - I tried to flash a stock rom to reset my phone. but I used an downgraded version...

[rom]i9505][xxubmf8][4.2.2] (24.06.2013)

I check also during the flashing process with odin "re-partition" and used the pit file and the 4 other files of this firmware. the flash process didnt go to the end, it interrupted. maybe because of the repartition, it goes more and more wrong...

I can still enter the download mode. But what should I try to flash now?

Is it possible to unbrick in my situation...?

And should I use the pit file "CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2.pit" or should I leave it (just use the firmware?)

Should I use 1-file or 3-file version for odin?

I would appreciate your help a lot. I need the phone for work tomorrow. It is very important for me. Sorry to hustle and thank you very very much!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaMasterT:

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZealotDEFILED:
I have an i537 running 4.2.2.JB rooted and Ive been trying to figure out how to get to 4.4 hell even 4.3 would be nice. I tried going to Best Buy and having Samsung force an update, but I think the Samsung guys have about as much knowledge on the subject as I do. Rep said he was going to completely reset my phone back to stock firmware, but I think he ended up trying to push 4.4KK. As soon as the phone started rebooting I could see purple and pink burn in on the AT&T screen. Once booted I can use my physical buttons to get to the home screen but after that.... blegh nothing. If somebody could point me in the right direction it would definitely be appreciated.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmorris:
RIght, firstly I've got a UK Z2 (Vodafone model, but unlocked and subsequently flashed with a different ROM).

My problem is that I can't connect to a router that only operates on the following channels at 5GHz; 149. 153, 157, 161.

These are apparently valid in the UK, although my iMac won't see them - but it's a 2009 model. My MacBook Air (US import) does, and my Z1 Compact (with EU Generic ROM) does. So does my Xperia SP. The Z1 I recently sold did too.

Now I assumed that the UK ROM, and now my Taiwanese Z2 ROM (the router is Taiwanese too), supported it because when I turn on the phone, it can see the router. However, it can't connect. It never gets an IP address, and then soon after it disappears never to be seen again! That's unless I reboot, but even then - sometimes - it won't show then either.

The Wi-Fi signal is excellent.

I've read before (for the Xperia Z) that you need a SIM card inserted, and there is. It's a Three UK SIM. That perhaps tells the phone what channels to use? But if it thinks these channels are not allowed, why does it initially show the router? Is there a delay before it notices what can't be used? And why would one UK SIM hide the channels, but not another?

In any case, my Z1 Compact currently has no SIM card inserted but still works.

I'm very confused. It doesn't appear to be a hardware issue (it would be a weird problem if it was), so it must be down to the ROM - and I've had both .55 (Vodafone original and then a EU generic) and now the Taiwanese .69 ROM.

Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to try and pre-empt any questions that might get asked.

Basically, is anyone else having the same issue and does anyone know a potential solution? I can't change the channels on the router and there's no other firmware for it. Obviously I could change the router, but I think I'll just have to stick with 2.4GHz in that case.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.R™:
I know you say no fw is available for the router but im assuming you mean stock? Is dd-wrt/tomato available for it?

My s3 was the same on every custom rom i tried, 5ghz was always iffy :/ Will let you know if 5Ghz works for me when my z2 arrives friday :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corallus:
5 ghz works for me but not using the mentioned channels, in fact my router Won't even allow me to use those channels.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmorris:
The thing is, the router is from Taiwan and there doesn't appear to be any way to change the channels it operates on. For 5GHz, those four channels are it.

They do appear to be legal in the UK, but many devices won't support them.

I am just confused as to why the channels work on the SP, Z and Z1 Compact but not the Z2. And even more confused because it will show up for a little while but not connect, then disappear. That's an odd way of restricting Wi-Fi channels on the part of the handset.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p4t4h:
Can you maybe doing a forget network and then re-adding it?

I'm in Singapore and have no problem connecting to 5Ghz channel 161.

I don't think it makes much sense for them to limit channels on the client side as people can travel anywhere with their smartphones and should be able to use any channel available..
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmorris:
Yes, but some devices do still restrict channels - based on what region you've set, and possibly in this case the SIM card.

I'll need to do further tests, like swapping the SIM for one, to see if that makes it work. At least then I might be in a position to report it as a bug to Sony.

I have removed/forgotten it when it was there, forcing me to re-enter the code, and it just doesn't connect. And while it isn't connected, it does then stop the phone connecting to anything else unless manually select it.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.R™:

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulci2se:
I previously owned a Z1 and found that 5ghz wifi was very poor on this device.....I now have a Z2 and the wifi is exactly the same.......works well on 2.4ghz, but poor on 5ghz. My wife's Nexus 5 works well on 5 Ghz so it must be down to Sony's implementation. I am using channels 36-48 not sure if I can access the higher channels, I presume not....think my router only has the lower channels......I have searched the web before for an answer to the problem, but no luck as yet....:crying:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftSmoke:
just to add my 2cents to this, My UK bt homehub doesn't have those higher 5Ghz channels highest is 128 lowest is 36
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V4LKyR:
Yeah, this has happened to me recently aswell. I used to connect the 5GHz 802.11ac wi-fi network at home on my Sony Xperia Z2, but a couple'o days ago it disappared. I can't see the 5GHz signal, I'm using 2.4GHz instead. But my laptop can see 5GHz signal and connect without any problems. The channels on 5GHz signal is 149,153 by the way. And channels 11, 7 on 2.4GHz signal.

So what might be the problem within my Sony Xperia Z2?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CenteaOSD:
Oh I just relieved that this problem is not only for me... Okay as some people mentioned wifi for Z1 was poor and Z too... so it might be problem w/

design of Z series. I am using AC-7260 wlan for my PC　and seeing 5Ghz AP. But not for Z2....

No jamming around my home, no one is using 5GHz other than my AP.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farfromovin:
My Z2 works excellent on my 5ghz channel. I'm on vacation now so can't verify the channel I used. What I do know, is certain devices don't work as advertised with 5ghz. Just because one device sees it doesn't mean every device will. I've had to switch channels a few times for different phones although my laptop has always seen it.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V4LKyR:
Yeah, it must be the channel issue, I suppose. But at first, my Xperia Z2 was connecting to 5GHz signal without a problem... After a while this issue started. I didn't change any channels or something on my router, either. Interesting...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benengyj:
5GHz signals have inherently smaller ranges than 2.4GHz ones.

That said, my Z2 connects to my 5Ghz AC network just fine (range sucks though) but it has a problem keeping the connection to the 2.4GHz N/Mixed network from the same router (dualband ASUS RT-AC66U) alive after a period of time. It will still show as connected (with good signal strength) but will not have any access to anything else.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V4LKyR:
Yeah, I'm well aware of this range thing between two signals. But my problem isn't something about it. My phone used to see and connect 5 GHz signal, but it doesn't see 5 GHz signal at all now. Even when I put my phone right on the router, between 6 antennae. (3 x 2.4GHz, 3 x 5GHz antenna)

This must either a software issue, or channels on 5GHz signal... But no, my phone was connecting without any problems for 3 weeks with the same channels. Must be software.

This isn't my only problem with wifi anyway, there's also a Bluetooth interference with 2.4GHz signal. Happens when Bluetooth is on at the same time with wifi. And when connected 2.4GHz signal, connection drops sometimes.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rb69:
i found this thread now :) i had posted one earlier today.

what I have figured out is - the moment the SIM is inserted Z2 is taking off the channels that are not "legal" possible in the country determined by SIM.

I am on Telkomsel - indonesia, if NO SIM - I am able to connect on 5 GHZ very well. but once it senses the SIM card, the 5 GHZ vanishes.

This never happend on Z Ultra!

next step is to test on other channels on the router in 5 GHZ to see if it is limitation of Z2. Right now my router supports only 4 channels - 36 40 44 48 on 5 ghz band.

otherwise my mac and other units connect and work pretty well on these channels!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V4LKyR:
Alright, I've had my Xperia Z2 for 3 months now. I've never connected to my 5 GHz 802.11ac signal before, the phone doesn't detect it. I can only connect via 2.4 GHz band.

This is not my computers problem since it wont connect to my other computers. I even tried reinstalling the os on my pc for new set of drivers, but no luck.

Im sure it has something to do with my phone. My phone is rooted, so if any fixes include being rooted, Im good with that.
