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?
lemme know

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

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
I have an s4 from rogers (Canadian model) and initially had cyanogen mod as my rom but I realized that I was missing nearly 5 GB of storage on my phone. I read that to fix this I had to go back to stock using Odin. I went back to stock 4.2.2 using Odin, but then my WiFi stopped working. I couldn't turn WiFi on or search for networks. I then rooted my phone and installed a rom and my WiFi problem was fixed, but now I cant make calls. Every time I try to call someone my screen goes black and the recipient cannot hear me and I cannot hear them. Also, the sound on my phone does not work. I have flashed multiple roms and still get the same problem. Does anyone know any possible solution. I have looked around and many people have had the same problem, but no solution. Any help would be appreciated.
It's because you flashed an old rom (4.2.2) on a newer bootloader. That doesn't work. Flash the latest rom available for you phone.

I have flashed multiple roms and most of them were the latest ones (4.4.4). This still did not fix the problem. Is this what you mean?

I'm sorry, I gave some wrong advice.
It's probably because you are on the old bootloader but you are using a new modem. That's the cause for the problems on our s4. You have a different s4 and there is a different section for your device.
You have to be in this section:

They should be able to help you further there.
Hi,
If you can help me fix this I'll pay you.
I have rooted my i9505 using Towelroot.
The stock installed Android version was 4.4.2, the baseband version was XXUGNG8.
I have installed the philz_touch_6.58.0 recovery and tried several ROMs.
All ROMs install without problems but I can never turn on Wifi or it turns off after 10 seconds.
I have tried various kernels, modems and bootloaders.
I would like to be able to try different ROMs but prefer to have a clean 4.4.4 ROM.
If someone can help me solve the Wifi problem I'm willing to pay for it.
If you can contact me on Skype (username: marcselman) I can follow all instructions immediately.
Thanks.
Still nothing
I have now reverted back to stock ROM XXUGNG8. But even now Wifi won't turn on.
My Knox counter has been tripped but I don't care about warranty. Could it be the reason Wifi is not working though?
My offer still stands though. If anyone can add me on Skype and help me fix this I'll pay you.
Marc
The things that tip off wifi is the modem and kernel. Have you search for hlos modem

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.

Newer ROMs don't seem to have the correct settings for the Ting APN. Make sure the network type is strictly CDMA/LTE and in particular that the APN Type is set as both DEFAULT and as mms (default, mms).
Hey guys, hoping someone can help me out here.
I'm on the "Ting" cell network using an LS980. Resurrect Remix ROMs worked well for me up until the 5.3.8 update (5.3.7 was the last version that still gave me cell data). The new 5.3.9 also causes issues and the SIM card even completely locks itself at times as it attempts to contact the network.
I just installed the latest Blisspop nightly ROM and am having the same issue. I know that older LiquidSmooth ROMs were also working properly for me aafter I used one of them as a Plan-B from Resurrect.
If anyone has any ideas as to what the issue could be please let me know. I'm going to try tinkering with my radio files soon and see if I get anywhere.
Bumping. sorry but this is getting really frustrating. I tried flashing the ZVC and ZV8 modems and it didn't make a difference.
ZVC modem actually crashed my phone (running Blisspop 2.2 latest nightly, stock kernel, TWRP 2.7.x recovery) after attempting to flash the ZVC modem without clearing the cache/dalvik afterwards.
I've now restored my phone to factory, stock ZVE ROM and rooted using StumpRoot. I'll be putting on the TWRP recovery soon.
If anyone has any ideas as to why I'm having radio/modem/signal problems on any Resurrect ROM past 5.3.7 and with the new Blisspop please let me know. I really want to get back on a non-bloated, up to date ROM.
>tfw
Bumping again. My phone is actually having a few other odd issues now after having to go back to stock with the ZVE .tot and re-rooting/recovery...
I'm still mostly concerned with the data signal though. I'll sort the rest out myself.
PLS SUM1
Ayyyyy Lmao
