I flashed the Vision-X ROM to my phone to get 4.4 and everything works great except I'm getting poor reception.
When I drive to and from work I get choppy streaming audio where as before I didn't have any issues.
Is there a radio or a kernel I can try that will be better for me?
Is there a more up-to-date TouchWiz ROM that's 4.4 that I can use?

I figured out that I'm getting throttled at the carrier-level and that there's nothing I can do.

Where exactly did you find and download the leaked 4.3 TMO rom?
Was it an ODIN flashable TAR file or a cwm/twrp custom recovery zip file rom?
Either way most likely it's never going to have wifi unless you are a developer.
In order to get the wifi working with some leaked rom you flashed it will take a
lot more than just copying some files into your phone.
I just wonder if your rom came from the "Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G " forum?
In any case good luck with it!

Its working fine for me if you set the flashable zip file up correctly and are using a proper kernel. The only issue i am having with my 4.3 ROM is the stupid network loosing signal on sleep. I'm 99.9 percent convinced this is due to not having the upgraded radio.

I told you before. You have to use talexop or faux kernel for wifi to work. If you want to switch kernels then flash echoe rom wifi fix.

Do I need to odin any new modem for KitKat (as I did with MK2 modem for 4.3) or I'll get it when I'll flash any KK ?
Roms don't include modems. You will have to Odin the radio. That's user choice on if you want to upgrade

For me, updating my modem has increased both signal reception and data speeds. You can always go back if you see a drop in performance.

Confusion about modems + custom recoveries
Hi,
I have an i337m from Puerta Rico that I'm running on USA T-mobile. The radios are the initial release and I'd like to update them. I'm running Wicked V10. I've successfully (I think) done the AWS hack to get the GSM HSPA+ bands.
a) Do/Can I flash T-mobile S4 radios?
b) A little confused about flashing radios on a custom recovery. I tried flashing the MK2 radios but it obviously checked the boot loader when it failed.
Thanks for any help.

I wouldn't flash a modem made for a different device, even if they are similar.
It might be that it i sokay, but you need to research the hell out of it first and make absolute sure.
Don't just take a chance and see what happens.

Yes. I'm using it now on AOSP SlimBean ROM.
I just rooted and installed recovery on my note 10.1 and I saw hyperdrive which I'm familiar with but can't install. So basically is ASOP the only thing I can install? Kind of disappointing if that's true. The development doesn't seem to be buzzing on this device.

Yup the Tablet is pretty much dead. There has been pretty much no updates at all. I am hoping ARHD comes out with a 4.4.3 rom. I would really like it if someone could post a working Tar file for the latest 605 firmware. Stock firmware is running fine with root. Just a few things that bug me that I am hoping is fixed with the updated firmware.

That's annoying. Was hoping for some awesome roms. I mean it was so easy to unlock and it's on tmobile you'd think there would be much more.

you would think but with the Pro version now. i am sure more devs are on that. Stock rom rooted isn't bad.
I have been on 4.4.4 with the new modem for the last month or so. The problem I have is that when I flash any ROM for 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 the sound from a caller is distorted. It is often high pitched and semi-robotic. I have tried several ROMS but the only one that works without this problem is Golden Eye Version 24. Anything above that I get the distortion. I am on the T-Mobile Galaxy S4.
Does this also happen with stock firmware?

Neither do I but all of a sudden, 3 people so far are having that issue lol.
BTW, to the OP: Is your bootloader NH7?
Yes and no. I have not tried pure stock from T-Mobile but I have tried the Stock-Base 4.4.4 ROM and the Insane Kit Kat v4 and both have had the same effect. I've also tried all version of Golden Eye and every version after 24 gives me the same effect as well. I'm trying Gold Finger and have been having no issues so far.
Its a sprint s3 from FreedomPop with their weird rom. Can I use this phone on another carrier? Do I need to flash a different firmware or ROM?
what is the model number? Should say under the battery
The model for it is SPH-L710.

rwilco.com has some solid links for the tar.md5s. I bought a prepaid sch-i545 (verizon s4) and it had its own weird rom for it, even said a different build # in the about phone section. I flashed the stock i545 rom in odin and its now a regular vzw S4. The same will likely hold true for the L710

You use Odin to flash tar.md5s and recovery to flash zips
Phone works perfectly now. Flashed nj2 with Odin. Then flashed a recovery and wicked s5 2.2. thanks.
You're welcome! Be sure to hit thanks for those who helped!
are you able to get LTE with the aicp ROM also on the wicked s5 2.2 when it says 4g does that mean LTE? Also I'm trying to get one of the roms working on the sprint mnvo Iwireless.

Yes, the 4g icon does mean LTE. I'm running a ROM that my friend compiled and where I live there isn't sprint LTE and I'm using a at&t sim in my phone
Is there a APN fix or something to get LTE working for aicp? So far its my favorite other than only 3g data working. Also if I switch to LTE it says in the sim status that voice and data are lte. Just no mobile connection.

Refresh my memory, are you running LP or mm?
Right now I am using aicp mm. Only problem with it is occasional lag and the lte not working. What Rom did/do you use?
Thanks for the awesome help. I think I'm sticking with wicked s5 2.2 for now. It looks like it just seems to work and has the added bonus of being able to over clock and underclock a little. Ran into a few annoying bugs in aicp that's known but not fixed yet. (No 4g and forced into speaker phone)

I'm on nd8 and I don't have any issues flashing any rom or weirdness with features not working. My daily driver is a g900p and the same issue with the most recent baseband exists there too. I'll drag my L710 out and see what's what on it. Gonna be a lil bit tho. Household stuff to attend to
oops, im on MK3!! Ive run tons of ROMs on this baseband and havent ever had an issue. I dont have sprint LTE where i live, but ive been to places where there is sprint LTE and this baseband/modem/radio version has worked perfectly. The newest baseband isnt always best
there are many posts saying exactly what you said. Just they said nj2 was working fine and ah1 baseband doesn't work well. Also I'm not sure if you can downgrade firmware after mk something.
