I haven't used my S4 since December because I started having problems. Phone became very unresponsive, apps randomly closing, the camera fails to work and the sound has completely stopped. Ever once in awhile the phone will revert back and work perfectly but 10 minutes later it's back to being a brick. Today I read and found the Broadanywhere virus on my phone that I think has been the problem with the phone for the longest time now.
I removed it with CM Security but still having problems.

This may be your best bet. Get the full wipe Odin tar and follow the steps in the guide, just search for the odin files for your bootloader/build/baseband.
I've officially lost all hope for this piece of ****.
ODIN'd full wipe NC5 and the phone still doesn't work properly. Camera still doesn't. No sound. Wifi sucks. Laggy as hell.

Hi,
Having a few problems with my p500.
1st - all my appz keep closing (not force closing) to home screen as soon as i open them.
2nd - my market will not install appz unless i hit install about 15 times (same with updates)
3rd - i prefer to use the standard non-qwerty keypad, but for some reason it keeps disappearing when i go to type.
4th - i cant open my messages
5th - cant access gallery
6th - The return button will not work.
All these problems started at the same time. One minute it was working fine and then all of a sudden. Problem after problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hmmm? Go and reinstall stock ROM.
How would I do that?

Hmmmm... would not it be better to RMA the phone while the warranty lasts (and the data are not lost)? I for sure would not want that is randomly completely unusable, requiring total wipe.

He should conduct a stress test of some sort to make sure that the phone is completely working. Would our standard benchmark apps like Quadrant or Neocore suffice for that purpose?

Anybody else having their phone restart randomly while using Maps after todays update to version 6.10??
I specifically get a hard restart about 10 seconds or so after trying to use Latitude, and occasionally (randomly) while using My Places or Local or the Location Settings menu.

Hey folks, I've done a bit of searching, but I've yet to find anyone with this specific issue with my VZW S4.
All of a sudden I do not have ANY sounds what so ever....I've tried working with settings (sounds, adapt sounds, etc.), rebooting, clearing cache with CWM, pulling the battery. I do have sound from headphones.
Yesterday evening I went to a doctors appointment and muted/put phone on vibrate (don't remember which) and noticed when I got home and returned to normal sound mode in the pulldown that I no longer had any sounds....
I have a Rooted stock MDK...I have not cleared or wiped to factory settings and I've never installed a custom ROM....only rooted and have CWM Recovery (did this about two weeks ago).
Any clue/ideas as to what this could be? Will wiping with CWM clear it up? If I wipe to factory settings, will lose root?
Same issue

Well, I performed a factory rest with CWM Recovery.....no luck. Still no sounds at all....no notification, speaker, alarm, ringer, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this besides the above poster??
Maybe try restoring stock MDK through Odin. Then re-root. Make sure you don't take the OTA though.

No Sound At all
Sorry to revive but I wanted some advice
I bought my S4 with VRUAMDK firmware used hence I seriously doubt I can ask Verizon to replace it.
when I got it it tested fine I made calls
after rooting it just stopped making any sounds or phone calls, (I'm pretty certain I followed the rooting instructions correctly)
tried unrooting, going back to stock and rerooting and trying several ROMS I still have no sound whatsoever no headphones nothing, it does eventually detect the headphone if plugged in, even in the diagnostic menu sound doesnt work
I can browse using mobile data I can attempt a call and the other phone rings but the dialer doesnt work after placing the call the phone hangs or restarts sometimes.
everything else works I can send and receive text messages, emails, cameras work. etc
if this is a hardware issue what needs to be replaced? any idea whats the best way to get this fixed?
If I need to start a new thread let me know
Hi all. I was running Slimbean ROMs on my S3 for ages without issue, when out of the blue the phone began to lock up, freeze or randomly reboot. I tried a different radio to no avail.
Thinking it was the flash memory starting to fail, I restored it to factory/unrooted ready for warranty.
Now the phone is working fine. No crashes. Just terrible Touchwiz.
Anyone have any idea what this could be?

Well I have been using these builds and now my LTE is is completely broke. I have the 4glte icon and called customer care and they said my network is fine. Now I might have to send my T-Mobile S5 in for repair. I have been working on it for 8 hour doing factory resets and unrooting
And nothings bringing it back . I installed all the 5.0 builds exactly how op said to and didn't do any mods of any kind. Hope this isn't going to happen to more folks who are using unofficial 5.0 releases.

I have ran my international rom and restored my backup and found this to be a issue.
Upon restoring I have 5 bars...but, no icons what so ever. I rebooted and all returned to normal.
As for you.....when you unrooted did you Odin back to stock? LTE is tied to the bootloader, not the modem.
This is the main reason I'm not building 5.0 until T-Mobile drops our official firmware.

Yes I odin back to stock. Out of box stock and didn't root for a while just to let it settle. I have the icon for 4glte but I'm only getting 2g and edge speeds. I went driving around even went to T-Mobile store where I no they get 4glte and nothing the sales person at T-Mobile was confused as well. He thinks its shot as well. I'm going to mess with it for a couple of more days to see what happens cause I don't want a refurbashed phone that I paid 690 bucks for. If it don't get fixed I'm just going to make the jump.
P.S You all be careful with those TW LP unofficial roms. I should have waited for the official build from T-Mobile. Just saying. Don't get me wrong the devs did great work but I don't think they're even aware of this. I didn't want to post in there threads and make them up set. And really I don't know which one actually broke it. There like 4 of them I tried. I use WiFi most the time I should have been more wise

Makes me wonder whether or not you got a funky modem in all your testing, and it's stuck. Sometimes it can be crazy hard to get a modem to stick when upgrading. No telling what might be happening when downgrading. Sorry about your issues but thanks for the heads up.

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing. Between all the back and forth from 5.0 to 4.4.2 and just 5.0 to 5.0. And international back to regular T-Mobile. I'm thinking something was corrupted or just plain fried . I went completely back to the latest bootloader K2 and modem and the LTE is just gone. But like I said I still get the 4glte icons in status bar and it all looks good but then when I run test speed test and other test it shows I'm only running at 2g or even edge speeds its super slow and I've even rerooted and tried other custom Roms from 4.4.2 that worked great before I started messing around with these unofficial TW LP 5.0 Roms. Its very odd for sure I see myself having to go ahead and do the jump but hey I'm not mad at anyone one of those devs that ported these tw 5.0 Roms over to our SM-G900T's they always tell us to flash at own risk and besides I think I'm ready to move on from s5 at this point anyways time to move to a new territory..

Yes I have used yours as well @The Sickness. But I think your was the latest KitKat NH5 ROM and I'm actually back to it now I've never had any issues with you ROM. It just seems that the LP 5.0 ported Roms that are actually international are the one that gave me this issue. Its been two days now and still LTE is non existent. Im going to hold off till wensday and try a few more things to see if I can get this worked out. If not then that's why I have the jump deal I'll just have to either send it in for repair or just jump to another device.
I could just wait for the actual release of the 5.0 firmware for SM-G900T and try that and maybe by some miracle that will solve the LTE issue.

After using one of the 5.0 ports, I tried to nandroid back. This resulted in a full system force-close. I was able to install a CM11 ROM (no gapps, skip set up) because this is how I've fixed this force-close issue before. I restored nandroid again (NK2 rooted), still had a full system force close. So I then used Odin (yuck had to boot into windows, I wish they would fix heimdall for Linux), and that did fix my system force-close. What's more, since the NK2 tar does not wipe any data, my phone was just like before I started this whole exercise. EXCEPT I had no LTE or WiFi. What fixed it was I odined back to NK2, once Odin was done I pulled the battery and factory reset (do not auto-reboot). The new Odin tars don't wipe data like the old days with the S2/3/4. After the factory reset I noticed that I still didn't seem to have a good LTE or WiFi signal, but I had to drive home. I did not log in to my Google account and set the phone up, i just got in my car and split. On that 40 minute drive home, I noticed LTE kick in. I tested it by loading a random YouTube video. The video loaded up quick and with good quality, so I knew I had LTE. When I got home I connected to my WiFi, the signal seemed normal. At that point I decided to Odin CF Autoroot and TWRP. Once I did that I was able to restore my nandroid that I had made that morning, and luckily it worked perfectly and the LTE and WiFi have been great since. I don't know if you've tried this, but if you haven't, I hope it works for you.

I also had problems going back by nandroid from LP roms with the result in android crashes. Since I still keeps a rom on my phone just in case of issues like this and was able to get lte back and use titanium to extract my nandroid for all my saved data. I guess we just have to be a bit more patient or just invest into a nexus.

This looks about right. I'm was getting about the same speeds except my upload speed was about 1.54 appsolutely awful. I haven't gotten it fixed as of yet I'm busy with other things at the moment. My phone still works but as for getting at anything through data when I'm not able to use WiFi its about useless for that now. I'll keep you all updated. Also I will show a screen shot of my speeds later. I'm obviously back on KitKat stock ROM now . I'm staying the heck away from TW LP till we get an official build. If that ever happens..lol
