So I have a Samsung galaxy S4 sgh-i337 with a locked bootloader.
I threw graviton 4.4.2 on it about 6 months ago.
I've been having gps issues with it where it drops while navigating and sometimes not coming back.
I doubt there's a boatloader unlock yet, or ever. (I've looked so many times)
I just want a faster and more reliable rom to put on it.
Any recommendations?

I updated to the latest AT&T ROM (via Kies) after the update I can no longer get a GPS lock (picked up one lock after 2 hours). After reading several posts it would appear folks were / are having the same issue on the L5 ROM.
Would it be reasonable to exchange the (warranty) phone for another one or do you think I will get the same issue on the next one?
- GPS worked fine while on Gingerbread
Thanks
I'm too having same problems. Turning phone off then on seems to help some. Sigh

XDA is no longer worth my time.
I successfully rooted my T-Mobile HTC one, with S-OFF etc and loaded the KitKat rom from this thread.
I also have a Nexus 4 running KitKat 4.4 as well as a comparison.
Both devices are connected to my corporate exchange server, but under Security-->Automatically Lock on the Nexus 4, I have many choices, from "Immediately", all the way up to 10 minutes.
However, on the GPe HTC One, my only choice is "Immediately". If I drop Exchange, all the choices re-appear.
Anyone know why Immediately is the only choice under the HTC One GPe ROM and if there is a way to fix it?
Thanks!
Well I have been trying lots of different roms and finally decided to go back to hyper drive and use it for a while. Well I couldn't get data. So I Odin the original mdk that came with my phone and I still couldn't. So I take the phone up to Verizon have them program me a new SIM and it still doesn't do it. He said he could send it off if I had the warranty which I don't but I took it home and played some more.
The only time I can get Verizon signals is on kitkat roms now that I have tried them. I am being completely retarded and missing something easy. Like I'm supposed to flash something special when coming back from kitkat that I'm not doing or am I seriously ****ed until all the bugs get ironed out?
The kit Kat roms are starting to kick some ass though. I noticed tonight the verizon signal I do get though is much weaker than on my dad's stock rom. So I'm really looking for a clue or a future fix.
Maybe a radio flash or kernel I could flash on 4.4.2 it is the cyanogen nightly but I can switch roms if necessary also.
So I recently purchased an S4 and notice that I have ridiculously slow download speeds (only about 1-2mbps) whereas my previous Motorola Droid Razr M provided 50+mbps typical. After some research it looks like this a common problem with the KitKat update. I have not found a solution to this problem. Now the interesting piece of this puzzle is that the S5 is not plagued with this issue. Has anyone researched the ability to take a software fix from the S5, modify it and provide a patch for the S4? Just thinking out loud here. Perhaps this could be a solution...

[MODEM][Zip] Modems for Loki'd & Safestrap roms (12/03/2014)
Could always try a modem change.

So I tried to reinstall the NK1 modem - which did nothing. I also tried to install some of the Galaxy S5 modems which would not install (a long shot but thought I would try anyway). I do not know how to open and analyze the modem files but if I could, I bet there is a difference between the two that could be applied to the S4 modem file that would correct this issue...
The difference is probably them being written for completely different hardware? This is like saying one printer works better, so maybe we can take its drivers and use them for a different printer.
If the older modems don't do it then it probably is what it is... Motorola I think is just much better at getting a signal. My Moto X gets way better reception then my S4 did... As in S4 dropped calls at my house constantly where moto x works great and has nearly full bars.
alright, so I spent the day installing custom roms to see what I liked. After all was said and done though, I decided to revert back to the stock android 4.4.2 (I know android lollipop is out, but I prefer Kit Kat's speed). after spending 4 painstaking hours getting the rom to work, it finally went through odin without any errors. I booted up the phone, and everything is perfect, except for the wifi. Bluetooth is fine as well, but wifi always resets the button position to "Off" whenever I try turning it on. I would appreciate any help possible.
BTW the variant is the bell mobile canadien s4
