So, the S4 is my old phone. Older than the old phone I use now. Never had any problems with it, it just didn't meet the requirements of my mobile gaming addiction. I passed it on to a teenager I know and it worked perfectly for almost a year for him. He's never relied on REAL phone service for use of the phone, he's always used WiFi and our Xfinity account info for everything.
Well, one day the WiFi shut off and he could never log back in. (He's since then given the phone back to me and I've replaced it with an LGK10 which he LOVES and I hated)
Working with the S4 is.... pointless. Searching online forums has proved fruitless. When you click or long press on the WiFi symbol, the WiFi "attempts" to scan for nearby service, but it never connects. I never even get the option to chose my homes WiFi. I have even factory reset the phone. I'm interested in using this phone for my music and puzzle games, simply because...
•my main phone has an SD slot that suddenly stopped working one day and the S4 can still read my card
•I can multitask with 2 phones much faster with all my crap spread out between them both
•I can possibly root one of them with the other remaining phone a back up in case I screw up
So, how do I fix this? I just want to be able to sign in to WiFi again!
