Hi guys,
Today my girlfriend got s4 mini i9195 international lte version.
The phone is on 4.2.2 and i noticed that the signal is very poor on network.
On my s3 i have full 4 bars while she has none/1 bar, also the wifi disconects sometimes, it says it is connected but it doesn't load anything, it needs to be switched off and on again.
The phone is brand new unrooted.
Is it due to bugs in 4.2.2 (i don't know i don't follow s4 mini forum just s3).
I also tried software update but it says it's the latest (lying obviously).
Also to mention, sometimes the SystemUI restarts and wallpaper goes black. Is that another bug?
Any help is appreciated, cheers.

Bump.
Can anyone say if it is normal at least? I'll figure out then what to do..

if you are a stock guy with no mods just stock go to sammobile and find your countrey\its area and download its firmware and flash it but backup before doing so ... the black wallpaper comes when the systemui.apk crashes ... there must be a dirty cache or something

Everything is fully stock.
It doesn't have any new firmware for my carrier, but it has for another carrier in my country, can i flash this firmware, both are for i9195.
And another question, i don't have many knowledge in KNOX, so to ask, can normal flashing via Odin activate KNOX, or flashing via Kies?

Try making sure bluetooth is off.
My S4-Mini cant do both at the same time, and I have had 2.

Bluetooth was off, but NFC was on maybe he was getting a problem, or i'll just have to accept that it has weaker antennas than s3.
Also, will flashing a stock firmware via Odin activate Knox? Because it's on 4.2.2 now and would like to upgrade to 4.4.2 (but i read many want to downgrade).

I guess its just weaker then,
Going back to stock should not activate knox, it did not when I did it to flash a new radio.

At first I thought it was the ROM, but I flashed 4 different roms and still the same problem. Every time someone calls me it drops my signal, all my bars go away and whoever called me cannot hear me. Idk how to fix this :/

4.4 seems to require at least the 4.3 modem baseband, you need to flash it via Odin. Be careful on the version, note the one already installed and chek which one is the normal upgrade. My m919v only worked with it's specific modem.
There's a few topic about this. Can't post link but look for this one: [ONLY FOR MDL BOOTLOADER] How to use 4.3 MK2 Modem and Retain Sound
Okay so I just returned to stock because I couldn't fix the problem .. so now i'm running android 4.2 and my wifi wont connect. Keeps giving me this when I try to turn on Wifi
Hi all, I was flashing a Infamous Google Edition ROM and everything was okay until my phone booted up. My carrier is WIND and I have the SGH-M919V, and every time I locked/unlocked my phone I wouldn't have a signal. I would have to search for my network every time I unlocked my phone, which was really irritating. I tried three other Google Play Edition ROMS, and they all wouldn't let me get a signal. This is strange because I have previously flashed the INFAMOUS S4 ROM with no problems whatsoever. I am currently on Android 4.3 stock rom.
My question to you guys is this: How do I fix the no signal problem so I can get a custom rom again?
Rooted with CF-Auto-Rooter, and used Philz Touch 5 if that helps.
Thanks in advance!

Sigh... What bootloader are you on? KNOX or non-KNOX? If you are on non-KNOX, you need to Odin flash the 4.3 modem that is all over the forums. If you're on KNOX bootloader, check your APN settings. Hope that helps. :good:

Did you find the problem? I'm having a similar issue, but not quite sure where to find this "4.3 modem". I've read references to the mk2 modem but so far it hasn't helped me.
My issues are on Hyperdrove or Darthstalker roms, my network (wind) won't stay connected if I turn the screen off. But on any AOSP rom my network connection is solid.
Also, on this mk2 rom my connection is fine: https://sites.google.com/site/dannyben777/home
I'm just wondering how I can get my WIND network connection to work on the hyperdrive rom =\
This is what I did:
I was trying to get Infamous S4 Google Edition (which is 4.4) when I was on 4.2.2. I tried to install it, but apparently it wouldn't install properly (forget the details). I tried going back to 4.2.2 to try it again, but strangely enough it boot-locked at the SAMSUNG screen. I upgraded to 4.3 and everything worked, so I tried the Infamous ROM again the next day, and it worked
Strangely enough, every time I try to charge my phone when it's powered off it boots back up again, and says something about a kernel (forget, kind of lazy to check).
Hope this kind of helps!
I've been having regular issues with my data connection dropping out, sometimes 2 - 3 times a day.
Most of the time, the data icon is still visible in the status bar, but no pages load. The status bar data toggle off / on gets it connected again. Sometimes however, the data icon goes away and only a reboot or toggling flight mode brings it back.
I'm running Ditto Note 3 (KK), but had similar issues on previous custom roms and stock 4.3. I don't remember having any problems with the original Jelly Bean. A friend also has the same issues which started around the same time, on stock unrooted Samsung 4.3. We're both on Orange (UK).
Is this a software issue, or could it be anything to do with the SIM card?

It seems more like a modem related issue ,since you rooted try the newest modem which is ND3 ,flash it via recovery
ND3 Modem
Only download the modem file not the ril file.

Hi guys. So about 1 week ago I finally let my s4 mini I9195 Do the update its been wantng to do for a while. Turns out when the update completed and the phone was turned back on again I couldnt connect to wifi, just press the toggle and it does nothing. So ive been lurking the web for solutions and done around these:
-Taking battery out various times and in diferent situations
-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 did that even though I have no idea what rooting is and such though Ive read about it 1000x , just dont get why you do that or why there are so many ways and such
- wiped cache/ returned to manufacturer settings also a few times
So, by this point I have really no idea how to fix this guys and its been a pain because I am in erasmus and could really use the wifi. I really apreciate your time for reading this thread and hope that you are able to help. Awaiting your sugestions
Thanks
What you're describing is a very typical issue: the firmware wasn't updated completely (e. g. modem not updated). Solution: flash the firmware again with Odin.

Hey man, thanks for the reply. Can you give me a little more info on how to do that procedure?
Search for Odin (v3.09 or so). Check your firmware version and download it at Sammobile.com.
And use the search for further information.

Hey man thanks again for the reply.
I was doing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/help/to-stock-firmware-choosing-problem-t2968295 but near the end it fails for some reason... any idea why?
So I tried it again and this just happened.. Kies wont even recognize.

If you are already on Kitkat you need Kies 3.
Have you probably tried to flash an JB firmware?
Search at Sammobile for the latest firmware for your country and network provider and flash it with Odin.
Hi guys,
i have a similar problem. I flash many time a couple of ROM (CM11 - slimkat) but the wifi doesn't turn on and also the cellular network and the bluetooth don't work...
In the last days i had many problem with my phone because i make a mistake during the flash (on odin) of a stock rom.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks a lot
I had the same problem. Wi-Fi didn't work after uploading KK firmware for my country (while to my surprise KK firmware for Belgium worked ok). I tried 3 times to upload KK firmware (XEO, anr PLS) via Odin 3.09 with the same effect (no way to turn on Wi-Fi). Then I used Odin 3.06 and it worked for me (I was able to turn on Wi-Fi without any problem - strange but it had worked). So try to use older ver. of Odin first.
Got a notice of an OTA last night. Figured it was for Lollipop so told it to proceed. Once the tablet rebooted the WiFi radio was disabled. Looked in settings which showed that WiFi was on, but no radio. Went online an saw that Samsung hasn't sent out the Lollipop update for the 10.1.
Question 1 - how do I restore my tablet since I can't get WiFi turned on?
Question 2 - where did this weird OTA come from?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Others having same issue
Thought I'd post this as info. Checked over at Android Central and several people appear to be having the same issue. Looks like bad firmware from Samsung. Bad build number is: KOT49H.T520UEUAOD1. Wiping and factory refresh may help temporarily, but eventually the wifi radio will be disabled. I'm going to wait for Samsung to get their act together and flash a fresh build when it's released.
Thanks for the help.

My 10.1 Tab Pro was updated too but wifi is working fine. I'm not rooted though. Same build number that you mentioned.

Wifi Issue as well
I had the same update come across last night and now I can't connect to wi-fi to save my life. Really pissed off. Done 2 factory resets already, reset my modem at home, turns out it happens everywhere and not just at home. Wifi says it's on but doesn't pick up any networks in my area and won't connect to the 1 that is already known on my tab. PLEASE HELP
Got the update last week. Wifi is fine but now daily I get a random reboot. Never had any problems before. Thanks Sammy!

I have the same issue with the build described.
Does one know how to correct this firmware update if the tablet is unable to connect to the internet?

You can download an earlier firmware from sammobile.com. If you are in the US, use the firmware for cellular South and make sure it's a 4.4.2 that you are downloading. After you download it, you can flash it with Odin. There are several threads here on xda that describe this process. If you still need further help, post again.
TabPro 10.1 SM-T520, v4.4.2 Build KOT49H.T520UEUAOD1 No wifi after update
Boy am I glad to find you guys with the same problem as I have. Couple of days ago I saw an update message and decited to go for it. Well, as all of you know, wifi stops working. Factory resets gets it working again but once everything is restored it stops working again! This is quite frustrating and I hope Samsung is working on a fix right now. I haven't been on XDA for a while and only rooted phones before. So how is the rooting/mod scene for tablets. Any good Custom Roms out there we can use until/when this is resolved? I'm good with directions and done some custom roms on my phones before. Let me know what's the good ROMS out there are...the bloatfree version is a welcome even without KNOX, I don't really use it.

Thanks for your feedback.
I had to use the firmware from November 2014 to get it to work and restore my wi-fi.
Again thanks
KOT49H.T520UEUAOD1 is the problem
Well I figure this particular firmware has a problem. Because even after factory reset, wifi works once and goes back to not working. So the best solution is to get an earlier version. I went back to Sep 15, 2014 version and it works well. Took forever to download from sammobile though. So if you need to flash to a previous version that works. I have post a link to the firmware I have on my OneDrive that got it working again, hopefully it will be faster for you to get your tablet working again. Here is a link. This is for the US Tab Pro 10.1 SM-T520.

thank you for those who warned about the wifi problems this OTA introduced. I'm just going to keep ignoring the tablets request to update. I thought i got a great deal on this tablet when i got a refurbished one for under $300 several months ago... but samsungs lack of support for this tablet is astonishing.
