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!!!

Man, I decided to return to full stock rom...LTE in perfect shape now...dont know what happened...i flashed with odin the exact version indicated in forums for making only the root without the custom rom or recovery...even that soft rooting is making my modem going crazy...i prefer stay this way until someone releases a decent full version for a GS4 SGH-I337m thanks guys
Did you try one of iB4STiD's ROMs? They work perfectly. CM is just way to full of bugs.

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!)

So I just Installed PA 3.99.1-RC1-20130914 and PA_GApps-20131018
It's strange to see that there was no Google Chrome by default along with the following issues :
- Camera is not working - on opening the app it simply says Can't connect to camera.
- There is no signal and on searching for networks, it asks for sim.
- Also the PA_OTA app says unable to check for updates, though I'm able to download apps.
Did you come from 4.2? Did you flash the new radio?

Coming from 4.3 . I hadn't flashed it earlier, did just now, Doing factory reset and reinstalling PA and GApps. Hope it helps.
Got stock image and flashed it to make sure everything is latest, flashed PA again but same issues.
Can it be because I'm using 3.99.1 ?
Back to stock for now. Need the SIM to work atleast.

Hi guys.
I bought my Nexus 4 (after selling me old Galaxy S2) a few hours ago and I'm running into some issues.
Whenever I'm on a ROM that isn't Stock, my wifi or wifi + BT aren't working. The WiFi status is always 'Turning on wifi...' and never changes, and occasionally its the same for Bluetooth.
I've tried installing CM11, Carbon and AOKP, changing kernels, even flashing the stock radio to see if anything changes, but it all stays the same.
Another thing I've noticed (I don't know if it has anything to do with the WiFi, but it could be) is that on AOKP and on the Carbon, I can't click the top right button in the notification bar (the one that shows you all the toggles).
The thing is that whenever I flash back to Stock 4.4, everything is ok, and both the WiFi and BT are working as planned.
I'm actually clueless after trying anything I could think of. Does any of you have any idea what's going on?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, you have to flash older radio to enable wifi. Try version 84. Just flash the zip from CWM.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I noticed that a lot of my sensors are dead as well when not using a stock rom.
I've had nothing but Android devices for the past 4 years, but in this case, I don't know whether the radio solution can solve the problem, since it looks more like a Kernel issue, or am I wrong?
Isn't the radio supposed to affect only wifi and BT? What about the other sensors?
Will try that soon though, phone has 2% battery.

I'm having a similar issue. On nexus 4 phone with current stock ROM running 4.4.2, I tried Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 but wifi was always in trying to connect mode, never managed to turn it on/off. The same behavior is on miui ROM but on stock everything works fine!

If the custom roms you are using are based on 4.4.2 it may be a problem with the newer kernel. This article recommends flashing the 4.4 kernel as a possible fix.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...-still-suffer-from-assorted-bluetooth-issues/
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

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..."

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?

I used Odin to root it using Nc1 Then finished with J4 ...
im guessing this must be a problem many are facing. a friend of mine gave me a an S4 logic board i337m variant and it has the same issue i have tried everything from flashing new roms flashing stock frimwares tried different kernels modems nothing seems to work. i second this post to see if we can find a solution. my phone is a I337m and have flashed GOLDENEYE to get the lollipop experience a month before the official Lollipop came out for the canadien variants and i have not had any problems i was wondering if i made a backup with trwp and see if this might fix this problems and if it does i can upload my exact backup to help other. but i was wondering if a dev can help me out and see if this could be a possible solution.
In the same boat aswell
I gave my phone to someone to update it to lollipop GPE about 2 months ago.... wifi would work but my data connection would cut out the minute the screen shut off.... after contemplating going back to the guy.... i downgraded to hyperdrive kitkat rom witch gave me better connectivity but no wifi... I ve been living with that for up until now until I decided enough is enough and flashed the stock lollipop rom yesterday. still no wifi. whats even more frustrating is I cant find the file path thats being mentioned so commonly as the solution.... and yes I am rooted. Also wifi was working no problem before I updated..

Well last night I went from 4.4.4 back to 4.4.2 to see if thus would solve the wifi and blue tooth head ache. It all started working just fine and did all the way up till tonight then back to not working. I then resulted to cleaning the Wifi prongs on the phone and it worked again for few hours. Now the weird thing happens I put it back into the phone case and just from snapping it in it stop working AGAIN. I restarted the phone once taken out of the case and it was working so I think I'm at a conclusion it's a mechanical issue not software. Maybe the wifi circuit us faulty
I've had lots if Galaxy and worked on a few friends but this wifi and blue tooth crap us unbearable.
My Bluetooth is fine. My wifi broke after downgrading to kit kat so I know it works It just seems the wifi files are corrupted or missing. I'm sure it's simple I'm just not savvy enough to implement it
