Hi,
This is an odd one.
I get 12mb download speeds on my home wifi if i do a test from my laptop or girlfriends iphone. If I do the test on my Nexus i only get about 1.5mb.
If I reboot the router (Draytek) I get the full 12mb again for a few hours then it drops right back down to 1.5mb.
Now I know you are all thinking straight away its the router but I have recently changed this from a Linksy router to the draytek and had the same problem with that one, so it would appear it is my Nexus.
I am running PA with the latest Kernal for it.
Any ideas or help?

In "About Phone" look for baseband (a.k.a. radio) version. But be careful, if you are using Jelly Bean ROM, your radio should be 0.84. If KitKat ROM, then the radio should be .97 or .98. Don't flash 97 or 98 on Jelly Bean ROM !!!

In "About Phone" look for "Android Version" if it's below 4.4 then you are on Jelly Bean (e.g., 4.3 or 4.2). I don't use PA ROM so I don't know which version currently for PA.

Have you tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery? Also did you test your phone in different area because it depends on where you are compared to the cell signal tower.

I found this information on Google's support forum:
I can hereby confirm that flashing back the radio from M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.84 (default for 4.3) to M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.48 (default for 4.2.2), whilst keeping the rest of 4.3, did NOT fix the wifi speed and connectivity problems on my phone.
I then proceeded to downgrade completely to 4.2.2 using the Google-supplied factory images, and I'm now getting 44 Mbit/s down and 5 Mbit/s up via 802.11n, where on 4.3 with either of the two radios, I couldn't even reliably finish the test (it would stop halfway, with the download speed estimated at 7 Mbit/s). Besides that, I've now been able to update tons of apps from Play, where with 4.3 this was not possible with either of the radios.
Just in case someone finds this, the version of Android on this Nexus 4 causing endless wifi problems is:
* Android 4.3
* baseband M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.84
* kernel 3.4.0-perf-gf43c3d9, 2013-06-17
* build number JWR66V
The version working well is:
* Android 4.2.2
* baseband M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.48
* kernel 3.4.0-perf-g7ce11cd, 2013-01-29
* build number JDQ39
You should use a different radio. I'd recommend the hybrid radios 33/84. Uses .33 radio for connections such as WiFi and data, whereas .84 radio is used for calls.

I am going to give you the best info you're likely going to get as I suffer the same problem.
Don't reset you're rooter switch wifi on and off on the phone as it achieves the same results.
After a while of doing this it will improve the duration it locks on to fast wifi.
Also I think relocking the bootloader helps WHY I haven't a clue.
All I know is I have the same problem with the newest and fastest wifi available in my area and after trying everything flashable, settings in wifi and even patching my wifi from roms with my wifi working the results are.
1 go back to a stock 4.3 rom.
2 try what I suggested.

Just asking, but are you sure you didn't confuse MByte/s with Mbit/s? (Notice the lower and upper case B )
It would make sense as 12Mbit/s are 1.5MByte/s.
Ok guys, just so you know, Radio/Baseband has nothing to do with your WiFi connectivity or the transfers speeds you are getting on WiFi. All WiFi modules, drivers are present in the Kernel and NOT the modem/baseband. Hope this gives you clarity and prevent waste of your time fiddling with the modem to solve WiFi issues!!

Flashed enough radio basebands and pulled enough files from the system to know where both live. I am talking about interference something causing the wifi to drop suddenly as if the network is strangled (but its not) there's a few phones that suffer the same problems as I have read all there posts.
It's something causing it to drop turning it on and off helps for a short time in my case about 3mins tops.
It could be anything I just find it a little strange that on a custom rom any soap ,cm and custom stocks this happens but not on a Google image. So something strange is happening who knows. Just wish I did.

Is Nexus 4 getting wireless speed over 2.4mb/s?
This is the maximum that I can see at transferring of files to PC on same network.
I can't have it locked over 54mbps at settings of wireless.

Thank you for your feedback.
I had a rooted SPH-L720 with the hotspot mod and decided to upgrade to tri force ROM 3.1
my speed went from 7-14 Mbps down and 6-11 Mbps up to 0.19 - 0.41 Mbps down and about the same for upload and half the time when I do a speed test it says network communication error. I backed up my phone before updating the ROM but get an error message when trying to restore back to the original version I wonder if we're having similar problems?

So it didn't work on any of the ROMs you tried?
Then try flashing the factory images. If it stays the same, then it might be caused by hardware.
WiFi Works on OTHER ROMS !
the problem seems to have happened after the kitkat update of thestock rom. on 4.2.2 and 4.3, i would flash miui v5 3.9 and wifi used to work just fine. after flashing from kitkat stock rom, the issue propped up on ALL miui roms. INCLUDING THE OLD ROM I FLASHED WHICH USED TO WORK FINE.
Have you tried flashing the 48 radio. As if you're baseband is 4.4 then maybe you're radio is incompatible with 4.2 radio, 48 radio you need think. Might be wrong check the radio thread.

Hi guys, first of all let me share al my specs in order to place my question properly:
PHONE MODEL: Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (the original stock kernel was: Build Date: 30.05.2013 -> Region: TCE (Mexico) PDA: I337MUMUAMDL Changelist: 518267 Android: 4.2.2)
Actual Rom: CyanogenMod -version: 10.2 10.2-20130923-nightly -jftlecan
Compilation number: cm_jfltecan-userdebug 4.3 JLS36G eng.jenkins.20130923.022829 test-keys
Recovery Mode: CWM via Rom Manager Pro app
So saying that I will say this: I came from stock to CM wiping Factory Reset and data/cache only and I used Odin for rootint the device....no problems at all, runs like a charm...
MY ISSUE #1: A couple of auto-updates ago (via Rom Manager), I start to notice that the radio bars (telephony signal, mobile internet signal bars) were from 1 to 2 bars in places I always get full bars (I live on a 7th floor with excelent signal at Mexico City). I searched on the forums (XDA developers and here) and it seems that ROOTED DEVICES SHOW THE REAL SIGNAL PROVIDED BY THE CAREER---->can someone confirm this? Is my phone showing the real signal strenght?, eventhough, keep reading to see that low signal bars are only the beginning...
So as i said, I didnt worry pretty much, because if the bars are little low, but i have a good quality service, who cares? but the REAL PROBLEM appears when another update came and when Im trying to use my mobile internet (4g or 3G, doesnt matter) the signal cuts exactly at the moment of loading a page or any info....it as happened with almost all apps (specially Facebook, Waze and Google Maps)
It happens as follows:
1.- Open any app, like Dolphin browser or Firefox
2.- Page starts to load info (LTE showing download and upload state)
3.- LTE-3G or whatever, shuts down (I see only the telephony signal bars and there is no internet signal)
4.- Wait few seconds, LTE-3G whatever is back...have to try again and agin until LTE remains steady (sometimes it wont until I reboot)
ISUE #2- DURING CALLS:
- Sometimes people cant hear me, but I can hear them...restart the phone and the issue fixes it self...buts is very annoying to restart my phone every single time somebody calls me and they cant hear me
I dont know what to do guys? Shall I wait until final CM10.2 comes to light? Somebody has this bug also? Is this bug part of CM? or there is another app making this rare behaivour...(do you recommend me another ROM for this model of GS4??)
EDIT: I tried to flash the original modem.bin (via ODIN) which is used by my carreer (TELCEL, son of Slim AKA "The richest man on Babylon :silly: is the company´s name). So until now, I can tell that in my first attempts of opening pages or facebook, the randomly LTE turning off-on continues...I will keep testing with this "orginal" flashed modem....

It's defiinitely a modem issue. You can flash new modems and try. (backup efs before doing so, actually if you dont already have one - do it before now and save yourself some grief)
If that's not fixing the issues...
I'd backup what you need and start fresh. It would be the easiest way to resolve all your issues. Maybe even try a different kernel set for your region and phone.
Kies has a useful firmware recovery option that sets you back to stock.
The Kies will use your model number and serial to get you your stock firmware and reset you back. Id wipe all data under settings then do it. After its done, do another factory reset in recovery.

Thanks for that advice, i guess Im going to do all that if a new kernel doesnt fix the issue (I havent found any kernel for my region which supports Android 4.3, only 4.2.2, and someone told me is not correct to install such a kernel). Good day to you!

So after done all the "back to stock" steps, I still get this questions:
1.- Would I still be ROOT but with stock firmware (Touchwiz) and cool features originally made for Samsung GS4? (such as air gestures, etc etc)
2.- If im "unrooted" by the steps described in your link, can I upgrade to 4.3???
Thanks you are so kind!
Check out GoldenEye ROM or MDOB ROM in the development forum. They are extremely stable, super fast, tw and excellent battery life. CM is awesome, but is seriously way to flawed for our S4's right now to use for day to day life.

Thanks. I successfully installed stock Rom (Touch Wiz) and the signal has been impecable (full vars and excellent internet speed). I have to say that stock Rom is faster than CM in its current state I'm having a better experience right now ( and didn't had the time to explore all the Samsung apps in their depth) thanks again for your kind help!!!

Well I just went back to original stock firm ware via Kies, and now the radio signal issues are gone!! CM 10.2 didn't work well for me as the stock rom is now working in my phone. Something tells me that some times it's better to just rooting (for enjoying cool apps as Greenify) and not installing custom Roms (because all this kernel carnival is just to much, and appart of all we have to install radio firmware? Just no!)

Basically what happens is the phone works fine while on WiFi but as soon as I disable WiFi or leave the area, when the phone tries to connect to 3g it loses signal completely. It shows the H+ briefly, then shows grey bars and then shows an empty triangle for about 3 seconds. I was running the 4.4 ROM released by paranoid android a few weeks ago with no issues until today when calls were constantly droppiing while I was out.
I've since tried updating the radio, tried two different 4.4 roms, flashed back to 4.3 rom 3.99 paranoid Android rc2 including the boot loader and radio provided in the xda thread. Still no luck. So my question is...is there a magic fix? Or will I need to replace the antenna? Im going to try get a new sim tomorrow and try that but I don't see why that would be the issue?
Thanks

PSX version 2 is the KitKat ROM. It's in the Original Development.
darkstar09, are you having problems with restarting your phone? Because I'm having this mobile signal bug as well + a massive reboot problem. I allready downgraded to 4.3 but the problem was still there ..
Hey guys, I've been having A LOT of issues with the new updates. First the 4.4 and then the 4.4.2 that didn't solve a thing. I've installed them via OTA but after that i've already did:
- factory reset
- installed via fastboot 4.3, then updated via OTA to 4.4.2
- installed via fastboot 4.4, then updated via OTA to 4.4.2
- factory reset AGAIN - installed via fastboot 4.4.2.
I don't know what do to anymore! I can't take pictures because nexus just turns off the moment i take one. I can't install facebook, twitter or instagram and another random apps... And btw, is it normal that in 10 minutes the battery charges to 1% to 50%? i think i never noticed that...
BUT WHAT DO I DO? PLEASE HELP!
UPDATE:
This problem is solved, it was the battery. I've changed the screen recently and it needed a new battery too. Thanks to everyone that tried to help me

If you don't know how to use fastboot, use the Wugfresh toolkit, makes life very easy. It has the drivers, downloads recoveries, root files and the factory images. Really is easy with that.

Guys, like I said I used fastboot to install 4.4.2, it still didn't work. I followed this guide googlenexusforum.com/forum/nexus-4-roms/4046-guide-flash-stock-option-using-android-sdk-tools.html
Hey, guys, I haven't updated it to 4.4.2 yet cause my phone is rooted so I'm asking is it worth to go through all the process again? And if yes can anyone state the new features? ☺ thx a lot!

Looks like a hardware issue to me. Probably your battery is faulty... Could explain the shut downs and trying to use the camera usually drains more battery so again that could it be. Could you be more specific about the other errors that you get?

Hardware? It started to happen only when I updated the first time via OTA to 4.4.
I open the camera, I try to take a picture, the flash goes on and then the phone goes off. Sometimes I can turn it on and the battery it's the same, sometimes I can't turn it on without connecting to the charger because it goes off when I go to insert the PIN.
Well, after I understood that the problem was that apps, when I turned the WI-FI on, the phone immediately turned off after that I unistalled that apps and when I turned the WI-FI on I could go on Chrome and Play Store, and installed some apps (like n7 player) and everything was OK.
One time I installed Twitter and I used it for a bit and everything seemed fine but then I installed Facebook and the phone crashed again so I unistalled both. Same with Instagram.
I don't know how much more specific I can be... I really need help :s
it's not hardware. anyone who had this phone running pre 4.3 aosp will remember the camera issues and the clicking noises that went along with the focusing and then the reboots. the battery charging is also a widely experienced issue as well as going from a full charge to 50% in a few minutes. I'm getting the camera bug again on 4.4.2 hope a .3 build pops up soon to deal with it. I'm also 100% stock no root

exactly this is happening but on 4.4.2
BTW, when I'm charging the phone, none of this problems happens. I can install and use all apps and use the camera.

if I were having all those issues I'd try installing the Factory Image again or maybe try 4.4.1 and then use the OTA to update. BUT there is definitely some bugs in the latest KK release

I did all of that as I refered in the beggining... I will try to install 4.4.1 though, that was the only thing I didn't do, but I doubt it's gonna work, because installing 4.4 and 4.4.2 didn't solve a thing
sorry about the double post but there isn't the factory image for 4.4.1 here... https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamkot49h .
I tried to flash 4.4.2 following this guide http://rirozizo.blogspot.pt/2013/11/guide-how-to-flash-factory-images-from.html and when I turned it on I had no signal.. what does that mean? I guess it didn't worked..

The latest factory images are 4.4.2, that's why you didn't see 4.4.1 on Google's server. When you flash factory images, your radio will also be updated. When you flash a custom ROM, your radio doesn't get updated, that's why you had problem with cell signal. Or flash the appropriate radio for the ROM.

The phone asked me to insert PIN and then I had cell signal again.. Should I flash 4.4.2 again flashing the radio too? Because I have the feeling that this will not solve my problem. Like I said in the beggining I followed another guide to flash my phone, and in that guide it said to flash radio and "bootloader-mako..." (not sure what that is) and the cell signal problem still happened and then I couldnt install Facebook or Twitter or had my location on or using the camera without the phone turning off or rebooting...
EDIT: The phone just turned off when updating Google apps, so yeah... Didn't work :s

You said that when a PIN is input, the phone has signal again which means it's not a radio issue. Did you set up a PIN in the security section in your phone?

No this is just something that started to happen along with the other problems... Sometimes the phone loses signal for no reason and goes to the PIN input screen.

Which radio are you using? It should be .98 if you are on KitKat 4.4.2. You can flash a standalone radio zip file in recovery.

I don't know I will check later because now I'm not home. But when can I find that zip file and if I flash that it will only solve the cell signal thing right?
