HI guys ( devs, users surfers alike),
I have an S4 i337 AT&T, with locked MK2 bootloader, been on Android 4.3 since i bought this phone online, and everything was working perfectly.
I had it SIM unlocked, rooted, SafeStrap-ed, custom ROMs running perfect on t...NO ISSUES!
Ever since I upgraded to Android 4.4.2 with Deadly Venom's Magic KitKat Tool,(installed the 4.4.2 Cutsom ROM, flashed the mldmodules.zip, flashed the superuser 2.00 zip, ODIN'd the AP, BL, CP tar files right away ...everything on any 4.4.2 ROM works perfect, except 1 major THING: ==> NO GPS fix, ever! ON any of the 4.4.2 ROMs...and I tried like 8 so far....
ANybody knows how to fix this issue? I mean, I travel a lot, I need to be able to use Google Maps, Sygic, CoPilot, OSMand+, and none of them get a GPS fix!!!!
I will attach pics one is with HyperDrive RLS15 ROM (Android 4.3) showing full GPS signals, the other is with SHOstock -i v7.0 ROM, no GPS signals at all...
There will be a screenshot of the "About Device" as well ... notice I am on the MLD baseband, since I have the MK2 locked bootloader...
What should I do, folks? Flash a different modem, module? WHICH exactly, is there any fix for the GPS signal on the 4.4.2 ROMs, because without it, being on 4.4.2 is useless... rather go back to Android 4.3 ...
Im sure lots of you guys on the i337 AT&T, rooted, SS'd, with the locked MK2 bootloader have figured out a solution to get a good GPS fix (signal) on the 4.4.2 ROMs ... somebody please send me a flashable zip solution, for us who have this issue.
BTW, I live in the heart of Budapest, Hungary, and not on some remote island, so I MUST HAVE tons of GPS signals coming in and floating around me, that "Location" is NOT the issue here ...as you could very well see from the screenshot where I do get lots of GPS signals when I am on Android 4.3....
THX in advance for any of you folks out there, who can provide us with a viable solution for this tiny, but MAJOR GPS issue on the 4.4.2 ROMs.
I await your kind replies.
\\// Peace out

I've had the same problem since I first upgraded to KitKat a few months back. I've tried every solution known to no avail. It's frustrating since turn by turn nav has always been a feature I've used a lot.
If anyone has any new ideas please let us know..

So you have the same issue... Turn-by turn NAV is awesome...only if we would get a fix on GPS on our Galaxy S4 i337 ...
FOr how long did you have 4.4.2 on ur phone?
I upgraded to 4.4.2 about 6 months ago. First installed 4.4.3 about 2 months ago and have been running 4.4.4 for a week now. I've installed just about every ROM available for the S4 and did all those fixes and installed GPS apps

4.4.4 ROMs? Can you give me some examples, links to these? I would love to check them out. SO, do you have a working GPS fix in your phone, or no?

There are a few ROMs that have been updated to 4.4.4
Up until today I was running which just released an update to that version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2767026
Anyone else have any ideas for this GPS issue??
My GPS never locks on any Rom since 4.3 except for Hyperdrive 4.3/4.4.2.
What is so special in Hyperdrive? I copied Hyperdrive's GPS.conf and it didn't help.
Maybe Hyperdrives dev can tell us which GPS files he has in his ROM to put in our roms?

THX for the links, I will stay on the best ROM there is: SHOstock's SHOstock-i v7.0 i337 XXUGNF1 4.4.2 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468860)
It needed a couple reboots, and GPS works flawlesly ...so turn-by-turn navigation works, be that Google Maps, Sygic, OSMand, etc. ...
FOr those of you that it doesn't work, try flashing an earlier modem ( MK2, or MDL) from RockRatts forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496517)
If this helped you, hit THANKS, folks...not a big deal, ya know? Much appreciated
I'll attach some pix as proof that there is a very good GPS fix/signal
For those having gps problems give this app a try

It's always worked to get my gps going again when broken from flashing roms
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That's problem iv been having for a while to I flashed roms, kernels, module's, Odin back to stock and apps for gps nothing works. The only thing that's working for me is rls 18 rom.
Okay seriously why is there no GPS, I am not on a locked boot loader. And I have no GPS why is there no fix and nothing posted about this. If you ask me this phone is a piece of **** since 4.4
this worked for me thanks
Hey everybody,
I've been having an issue lately. Since I upgraded to Android Lollipop, I have not been able to get a GPS lock anymore. This issue only applies when I'm on a Lollipop ROM. As soon as I flash back to a kitkat TW ROM, everything works again. When I go back to a Lollipop ROM, the issue returns again.. No GPS lock. This is not ROM specific, but just related to Lollipop in my experience.
I have not seen anyone else yet with this issue, so I find this very strange. I'm currently on the latest version of GPE5 by @Danvdh if this helps. But like I mentioned before, the issue exists on every Lollipop ROM.
If someone could please help me, this would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
Anyone? ?
Me Gusta!
It seems to be a Lollipop thing.
I have the same issue with my Find 7 since installing Lollipop.

Hi
I've been trying to get to the bottom or this for months and months, no clue what to do.
Firstly, no matter what ROM i try, whether it be stock or not, sensors do not work AT ALL. I've tried about 10 ROMs, and no joy.
When i first had my phone, it was on stock 4.3 ROM, and rotation worked fine. after this i upgraded to 4.4.2 OTA and rotation still worked. As soon as i rooted my phone, all sensors died and now i cannot fix them. The phone also has a stupid amount of lag, especially when trying to answer a call. I tried then going back to stock 4.4.2, but the sensors remained broken
I have tried reinstalling Samsung HUB as i found in a few posts on the internet, but again this does nothing at all.
Can someone please please help, any ideas no matter how far-fetched are welcome,.
Thank you in advance.
Hello everyone - does anyone else know a workaround for DATA/LTE not working when I flash a custom rom? I have a Samsung N910F Note 4 on a T-Mobile network (Poland) and stock or rooted it works fine, but when I flash anything, and ive tried a lot, any kind of port - the data always has an issue. either not workign at all, very very very very slow, or works for 5 minutes then cuts out and I need to reboot.
Ive tried the aurora datafix: aurora_N7_datafix_N910F_alpha5
the only option I have to try still is flashing Racerom with BL and CP - but I have serioius doubts as ive tried every other port out there, new and old.
any help would be much appreciated, and thanks for reading.
