Wifi doesn't hold key password - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have this phone with 5.1.1 O.S. with stock firmware "COK2".
I don't know why I have this issue that the phone doesn't keep the password and I need to re-insert passwords when I need to reconnect at network that I had already been connected.
What do you suggest me?
P.s.: please don't tell me to hit the hard reset to phone

I already use a Wifi manager, the WiMAN app, but Android should be hold the key password already inserted for the networks by default as it has always done.
I don't know why now I have this issue..

Since it is a stock rom it is obviously some error on Samsung's part.
I don't see any other solution than to factory reset. You shouldn't have such problems with the stock firmware.

No network Available

Any guess or help??
Check your APN settings, if backed up, restore, reboot

Check your csc code by either
Download nitrality from market and then go to tools
or type *#272*your imei#
Changing csc will factory reset your phone..
@ Talon: since Spetember edition, *#272.... is not making factory reset, just reboot.

You mean 2.3.5 onwards? ok thanks for letting me know.
Best to warn just in case though may not be on the latest yet
Yep, tested recently with JVR... no factory reset anymore
making things easier, isn't it?
EDIT:
originated from Click
I tried it on JVR, stock, odexed... worked without FR (speedmod kernel). Cf kernel, deodexed Ramad's ROM - worked without as well on JVS.
I'm not sure if some customized kernel/ROM will not cause the FR...
I just went to the phone company and they flashed from froyo to gingerbread 2.3.3 but still having problem the data icon stay still on letter E and start to flash on and off constantly.
When E flashes, it means, that EDGE network is available, but phone cannot connect to it. Usually, it means problems with APN settings.
Go to Setings - Wireless Networks - Mobile Networks and Access Points. You shall have some access points available. If not, try to ask your operator to send you setup sms or try so search on internet to find the setup rigth for your operator.

3G not working(APN issue)

I changed my usual SIM(vodafone italy) to another SIM for work(chess mobile norway).
All worked fine with it, 3g wifi, as usual.
Then when i finished using the norwegian SIM i went back to the old one (italian vodafone), and no 3g working.
the APN menu is empty.
I try to press + to ADD and it crashes( settings crash).
I press bottom left button then press return to default APN , and after 10sec i can see the Internet,Wap,MMS entries but after some seconds they all dishappear.
In those seconds i can see the h+ icon blinking for 1 second and then dishappears leaving the APN menu empty as described above.
After this first attempt if i press again to get APD defaults nothing happens.
Then I try again to use the norwegian SIM on my S4 and it works well.
I don't have a clue what's going on.
Any suggestions?
:crying:
Cheers
P.s: the phone is rooted, knox removed ,android 4.4.2,

already tried. Nothing changes.
I have just got another phone to test the sim, and 3g is working.
So if I was able to add an APN maybe i would solve the problem.
But the APN settings crashes all the time.
No chance to make any new connection.

Should I do factory reset?
I did the HARD reset and it worked. So 4 someone having the same problem that is a drastic but working solution.
Seems that using a SIM from another cowntry made a lot of mess in the S4.

Samsung Note 3 doesn't want to recognize/register my SIM

I'm not a 100% sure how this problem occurred, I believe it was after flashing an S5 custom rom called: "RC Elite S5 Port V16" To my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N900W8). From what I was reading it was a ROM that "converts" your note 3 to a note 4 or s5, while still having all the Note 3 features. Another possible cause is trying to use RegionLock Away.apk by Chainfire to essentially(unlock) the phone. I feel like this is the main cause though as this affects the modem on the phone. This isn't the SIM as I tried it in another phone and works fine with calls and texts.
My phone doesn't want to register its mobile network anymore. When I try to make a call or text it says:
"Not Registered on network"
I was reading online for about 2-3days now for possible solutions that can cure this. Such as:
1. Going into Mobile Networks settings and manually register [failed, details below]
2. Going into Mobile Networks settings, hold home button for 2seconds and then hold power button + home button for 15seconds [failed, details below]
3. Taking out battery while the phone is on and remove the SIM card, clean it and re-insert [failed]
4. Factory Reset [Failed]
5. Wipe Storage and re-flash stock ROM [Failed]
Options 1 & 2 do not work because when I try to access Mobile Network Settings I get this:
"Insert SIM card to access network services"
The SIM card is inside the phone though...
So what I did is found a mobile network options shortcut "program" from GooglePlay Store and installed it. It allows me to access the menu, which is great! Now, when I try to register the SIM card to my correct service provider (BELL CANADA)...it will make me wait for about 1-2minutes before I get "Unable to register, try later" error.
I tried the factory restore with a stock 4.4.2 ROM from Sammobile and the issue is still there.
Is there anything that anyone knows that can help me resolve this problem? I tried EVERYTHING i can possibly find on Google. I've seen posts of people suggesting to flash a modem.bin file with Odin but I don't know where to get those files, nor what to look for in terms of modem file "types".

Many thanks for your swift replies. I have it layed out in an album with thumbnails at the top. Hopefully it made it easier for you to look. I skipped past DEVICE ID as a whole as both IMEI and SERIAL #'s are 100% original and legitimate.

I tried region unlocking it with RegionLock Away by Chainfire. I would like to say afterwards this issue occurred but as far as im concerned, using a TELUS Mobility sim card activates the network pin unlock. So i'll be going with no, it's not unlocked.
I currently have a Bell LTE 4G SIM card installed on the phone. If you check the photos there it shows I have a full connection but unable to make calls nor access the mobile networks menu.... =/
I can provide pictures on the error messages if you'd like.

Edit: I'm performing a factory reset right now. I'll let you know if this fixes it. Thanks.

And as mentioned in OP, I downloaded a shortcut from the GooglePlay store that allowed me to access the Mobile Networks options. When I try to register to bell i keep getting "Unable to connect, try later"

Do one thing.
1. Turn off the phone. Take a out the simcard and battery for some min.
2. Add the battery only. Turn on the phone and factory reset your device (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything.)
3. Insert SIMCARD without turn off the phone.

They there! I tried to follow all the steps to the best of my ability but it seemed that didn't work. For 1, the note 3's sim card slot is blocked by the battery so i can't take it out without turning it off. In addition, after only inserting the battery and performing the factory reset, I decided to test it and the issue is STILL there even though a sim card isn't even inserted AFTER the factory reset. Same error messages as if nothing ever happened, even shows full bar reception even though nothing is in there. =/
This is the most unique problem I have ever encountered myself. I really don't know what to say...

Bumping.
After some more research I was wondering if you reflash the stock firmware back, does it effect the EFS partition at all? Cause if it doesn't I believe I installed a faulty EFS partition accidentally which results in the broken connection.
Any way I can get a backup of an EFS file that I can flash?
Thanks.
Bump. This issue is driving me nuts.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks in advance for the replies.
I had this same problem earlier (for a note 2) in the week where it just wont register any sim card.
In my case i think the problem was that i did a full format before flashing which probably deleted the EFS folder.
I tried so many options and eventually managed to resolve it by following the following instructions to restore the stock firmware.
Edit: Unfortunately i cant post URLs as i dont have enough posts

Hey there!
Thanks for your swift reply! I had already did the Samsung Recovery via Kies 3. Do you know if I reflash it that way that the EFS folder would get flashed as well? Because after doing those steps the issue is still there, after about 3 firmware recovery flashes. xD
I didn't even think about backing up the stupid EFS folder otherwise I would have. I was looking at this

Is this the same one? xD

Need to keep re-entering password on Samsung Galaxy S4

There is no such option as "save password". the only option available is show password and show advanced settings. I have checked advanced settings also but there is nothing which saves password. After every restart it ask for password for the same network which it was connected earlier.
can anyone please help on this? I have tried flashing the stock rom firmware but still that has this issue, Even if I update to latest patches I still face this same wifi password issue.
I have also tried editing the build.prop file (on rooted version) but that even worse the situation as it prevented phone from booting beyond the samsung animation and then i had no option but to download stock firmware and flash it.
Thanks

No sim at start, no network, IMEI is ok

Hello there,
I undertook to unlock the bootloader of my xperia x compact, of course without saving anything (bye the DRM keys), I then used the fastboot to install Paranoid Android v7.2.3, success after the second attempt.
So the phone started very well, but no SIM card recognized at the start of the phone. Possibly PIN code appeared after 10 min of ignition, loop on the "unlocking in progress" and then nothing, no network.
I have been back several times on the official rom via Sony Companion without success. Last night I tried to flash a rom stock with Flashtool. The operation was going well and oh miracle the sim card was detected directly, so I'm configuring the phone and installing all my applications, a reboot after all that and the SIM card had disappeared again.
Since I tried Flashtool several times without success, downgrade to 6.0.1 either.
After hours and hours of research I still do not have the solution, I have crossed several times on forums for the same kind of symptoms but always accompanied by an absent IMEI, but when I type *#06# my IMEI is displayed correctly .
If someone has already encountered this kind of problem I would love to talk to him. Thanks for reading me
Good night

Yes I have selected my APN, edited as my carrier said. The biggest problem is that the sim card is not detected immediately at startup. And when the sim lock pop up (about 5min after starting the phone) validation of the pin code is much too long to be normal. The code is accepted but I have no network, and when I try to search manually in the settings I have a loop on 'searching'. I think the problem comes from the modem / radio but I do not know too much these points, I just follow tutorials on the internet.
I say start from scratch but use Flashtool
Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk
I've already started from scratch with flashtool, several times ...
Some news of my problem.
I have since tried several times to change rom, to flash the modem / radio.
Now my sim card is recognized, but still no network. I have wrote my APN correctly but still nothing.
The network appeared only once after the installation of Paranoid Android, but as in my previous post, after a mobile reboot nothing.
Namely that in the phone information menu, line data service: Disconnected and in this menu enable data connection does not change anything (I can't even enable it). Select radio band gives me 3 choices (Automatic, USA, Japan) and when I click on Automatic I get Set [Automatic] Unsuccessful.
If anyone can help me, I'm really starting to feel hopeless.

Hi, i had the same problem. To enter the pin straight away simply go to the quick settings and check if you have the LTE tile there. If not add it. Then hold down on the LTE tile and it should open mobile data settings and then it takes about 5 seconds and it should ask for pin. I have no idea why it is like so but currently i am on paranoid android 7.3.1 and have no problems. Best wishes!

Something similar happened to me recently and it was fixed by selecting my provider via wireless networks > mobile networks > service providers
In my case AT&T was selected when I chose Tmo and rebooted everything was fine. Good luck.
