I have run a bunch of AOSP/AOKP variants and am currently on Nameless ROM and what I have noticed is that there is just no way to have a stable data connection or bluetooth connection.
I have checked out a few app store apps that reset the connection when data goes down, but they do not fix the problem. I lose data, and randomely get lte in places where stock it would always be on lte. I assume it is the modem, but I have tried NAE and am now on NG2. Is this a modem issue or is there another resolution? I have read some people experience these problems on CM roms and others don't. Not sure what causes it.

Hey there guys, I apologize if this has been covered, as I feel its related to an "efs" folder type of issue. I'm just not quite sure where the hell to even begin searching.
I've been on 4.3 since the leak and have been using Cataclysm 4.3 JWR ROM for a while now, problem free. All was running great until yesterday I was downloading some media and transferring it to my laptop (~10gb of traffic before I noticed the problem), and my WiFi shut off and restarted itself. My mobile data kicked in at that point for all of 10 seconds until the WiFi reconnected and within 30 minutes my signal bars suddenly dropped to zero and calls couldn't be made. "Mobile network not available." message appears. So I figured i'd pull the SIM, replace and reboot. When that didn't work I tried rebooting without the SIM, to see if it would detect no SIM card and prompt me to put one in and reboot to be able to connect to mobile network. Well nothing was detected. A full wipe, reflash of identical ROM, reflash of updated ROM, reflash of original JWR deodexed & rooted backup, all with the same outcome. I have tried everything short of downloading the stock image and flashing that but I haven't got around to it since I haven't had time to backup my internal SD before losing all data. I should note that I'm on baseband .84/4.3 bootloader and have been since Google pushed JWR & JSS. I haven't tried flashing a new modem, I figured that wouldn't been an issue. I suppose I'll try flashing .48 and update.
Edit: I forgot to mention that yes, WiFi is in fact working. Mobile signal seems to be the only thing affected.
Edit: Reflashing baseband .84 and .48 didn't work.
I really appreciate any ideas guys, I'd like to sort this out rather than having to flash stock and RMA it or something :/
All settled, it was an issue with the frequency band my provided operates on. Mod can lock/delete thread thanks.

Hi!
I flashed a rom with MGG and got the same FC problems as everyone else. Flashed the stock MGG rom and cleared everything, factory reset etc. After that I didn't get any audio at all. Not ever during the samsung bootup animation.
I flashed another rom through cwm, same thing and no wifi. The wifi fix doesn't seems to work either.
Tried CM 10.2, there I'm getting wifi but instead no data trafic. Baseband says "unknown" even through I flash different modems. The wifi and data problems I can get around, its just that I can't flash older roms through odin until they unlock the new bootloader.
The audio problems in the other hand. Saw some guy having sound problems in the modem thread as well. Not to many have posted about this problem. Seems to be a pretty rare problem.
What could cause this, how to get around this?
Had to go to work with a non working phone so can't get any logs for you at the moment.
I'm concerned, please enlighten me!
Finally, flashed the latest CM 10.2. Got wifi and reception working!
Still no sound. What log would you like to see to find out what's wrong?
I apologise for posting this here but no-one's been able to help me with this in the ROM specific threads. I wonder if anyone else's had this problem?
My mobile data connection keeps on slipping into roaming on AOSP based ROMs (on stock it's perfectly fine). It connects normally half the time after a reboot (if it doesn't it starts at roaming), and after I turn wifi or airplane mode on and off it slips into roaming again. I have this problem with 90% of AOSP based ROMs (AOKP 4.3.1, the last stable CM 10.1.3 and CM11 port are in fact the only ones that don't have this problem). I have tried everything, and I mean everything, to get data to work normally. I've used different gapps, recoveries, earlier versions of ROMs, manually setting APNs, everything.
I refuse to believe my GT-I9505 is somehow special and ROMs don't work too well on it. Other people with GT-I9505s don't seem to have any problem with theirs.
Hello,
Update: apparently its not broken because I did a full wipe and installed Echoe again, left MJ9 on it, and it seems to be working, for now anyway. -MJ5 was recommended by the developer
U2: Wifi stops working again.
I am worried that my s4 might be broken since any modem I try I don't get a stable wifi or the phone crashes when using GPS on a data connection (sometimes it works, sometimes the network drops and sometimes the phone crashes).
I was using Echoe ROM on baseband mj5 for a couple of months with no problems but lately the wifi problems started showing up and after reboots the phone would ALWAYS crash once at lockscreen (right after booting) and then it would work fine on second or third reboot. I upgraded to newer echoe but the same, so I decided to go to an AOSP rom and switched to Liquidsmooth (latest on 4.3). And I was having even bigger problems with network and slow wifi (on echoe the wifi problem was intermitent, on this it's always slow) and I didn't use to have GPS+Data network=phne crashes. So I went on the thread with all the modems and tried a few. the site http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ tells me that for my S4 i9505 on three UK the latest is I9505XXUEMK9.
All the following I tested on liquidsmooth rom and by reflashing this rom before and or after new modem flash
So I tried both XXUEMK9 and 8 but both are really bad, wifi drops and phone crashes (tried WIFI fix), then I tried I9505XXUEMJ9 without/with wifi fix and it seemed stable for about 5 minutes... then it crashed. This was on new rom flash after flashing moded, just to make sure... and it still crashed.
I used odin to flash all the modems
I use Philz Touch latest 6.something (I was on 5.something at first but changed it just to be sure)
should I try a modem that is not UK specific, is there an international one? <-- although, Im assuming XX means international so this would answer my own question.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
I would still like to know of a good modem for UK Three phone with AOSP rom
thankyou
I've been running cm 12.1 nightiles for as long as they've been available. I was on 6-14 for quite a while and when I finally updated to 6-25 I lost data connection save for the occasional 3g connection. No lte or hspa. So, I went back to the ROM I was using; no dice. Full factory reset, cache and dalvik... Flashed the latest optimized cm 12.1 on a clean device and still can't figure out the issue. My APN is set to my carrier and all. Is there something I'm missing or messing up? I'm on a metro PCs m919n currently on antaresOne optimized. Prior I was on the carrier specific version of the nightlies when this started.
I also called my provider to have my device "refreshed" for whatever that's worth. I thought it might be an issue on their end. Made no difference.
