Periodically Dropping Signal // AOKP-based 4.4.4 ROM - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I have seen a few of these threads, but nothing solid enough to grant a solution.
As you see below, I am getting constant signal drops, and it happens even where there is flawless reception.

So far I've read these suggestions:
-- Flash new Kernel
-- Flash stock rooted ROM then flash back
Any thoughts?
I am currently on Task's Latest (6-28) ROM, but have been experiencing this on previous ones (4.4.3 + 4.4.2).

Task's latest is 7-9 I believe.
That being said, Is your phone unlocked?
Also, does your baseband match your bootloaders?

Oops, guess I didn't check Task for the past few days.
Phone is unlocked.
Baseband and Bootloader are both I747UCDLK3

Did this start happening after unlocking? It sounds like your nv file might be damaged.
If so, you might need this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43842387

No. This started happening maybe about a month or two ago. I unlocked it over a year ago. I have a feeling it was when i switched to a 4.4 rom. Unfortunately i didn't notice right away so i can't pinpoint the cause

You can try flashing another modem. If that doesn't work, might wanna try flashing back to stock, test it and work your way back up if all is well.

:good: Let's try that. Will get back with the results once I end up doing it in the next day or so.

Flashing the modem again did nothing to fix.
One question before I flash the stock ROM, will I need to do anything besides flashing? I'm not sure how it goes, since it is an older version (4.0.3 I believe?).
I know I need to do it in Odin, but nothing else besides that. Flashing an AOSP ROM after that won't be a problem?
Sorry for the questions, just wanna make sure before trying this out.

If I'm currently running the 2.16.531.3 (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211143) do I need to wipe data?
Happy to see a stock ROM again. Hoping this can give me the battery life that it should have.
Two issues: I keep getting android.process.media crashing - appears to stop when I receive a notification. Or go to change notification sounds / change volume from the Settings menu.
And two: I have a voicemail sitting there that doesn't exist. The icon won't go away either.

you can try to flash this over the 2.16.531.3 ROM, BUT make sure you nandroid backup, just in case something goes wrong
Warning!
This stock rom is NOT compatible with Ext 4 file system.
DO NOT use 4EXT Recovery to convert the files system from EXT 3 to EXT 4.
You won't pass the splash screen.
Could you guys, who have flashed this, post these three files:
libhtc_ril.so
libreference-ril.so
libril.so
from the /system/lib-folder?
I'll update the ril_automatcher for the latest radio.

No overclocking with this stock ROM. If you want OC, check out Virtuous G-Lite. That's stock with OC capabilities. This is vanilla Gingerbread. And trackpad wake is not an option. At least not yet.

Where you running a different ROM before 4.3 rooted? Rebooting can be caused by several things like dirty flashing or not wiping correctly.

The only true way to fix this is to learn to pull a logcat. Then get the dev to see if he can figure out what's going on. Since its a rebooting issue, logcat apps are useless. You have to use ADB from a computer, and issue commands so the computer will record logcats throughout the rebooting process. I would try a clean wipe, fresh install 1st.

If it's a custom Rom it's already rooted (obviously). Check the build version in your settings.

yeah i can't get into TWRP, or the other one. it keeps giving me dude with red !. version is jz054k.
I did a full wipe and install of an origonal build of the software, was able to root it sucesfully now. but still can't get into the bootloader menu. tried cammand line to tell it to boot into it, tried rom manager. no dice. just keep getting little dude. i remember seeing a thread about him, i don't know what he means :\
The bootloader on these phones are locked. You are able to install the custom recovery only because Freegee can bypass the bootloader.

yeah i got around it and managed to do it. didnt much like the rom, know any clean roms that are more stock like? i really didnt mind stock. but i want 4.4 or better than stock.
Honestly, your best option is to wait for the kitkat update to hit in a month or so. You get what you're looking for in one stock update. Hassle free. That's what I'm doing. The more I learn about this phone, the more I am hesitant to flash anything to it. Mostly because there are so many variants for this phone. Everything can't be compatible so why risk it.

Its the kitkat Korean update, I'm using it on my e980 , pretty sweet
yeah i agree, i havn't found many rom's i like. ive found roms always fail after awhile. so idk. they always bloat up and start to fail than they need the update to be stable blah blah than your reinstalling all apps and backing **** up. idk, was just looking at what phones offer these days for modding but nothing seems to of changed. this phone inparticular is a rather unstable device none stock, seems to be allota issues and a good reason to have bootloader locked.
Un locking the bootloader only allows for custom kernels on any given device. In some cases you will get greater stability. But for the most part you will still have glitches, performance decreases, etc. because you are STILL flashing custom Roms. And in allot of cases your phone will go completely nuts because custom kernels have their glitches too. So in short, sometimes, Custom Rom=glitches. custom kernel=glitches. That all adds up to a totally unstable Rom. Keep in mind all devices are not the same. What runs great on his might crash your phone completely. Just my 2 cents....lol

Can't find ANY wifi networks anymore?

Its been about 2 weeks now and I am still having this problem. One day while I was a school I felt my phone really hot in my pocket. and it was off. When I truened it back on the battery was only 20% and then I could not find any wifi networks. It used to work for about 30 seconds when I restarted the phone, but now it does not even do that. Any help?! This is pretty bad.

A modem is what controls your phones communication with the internet and voice and data... Pretty important. Go to Settings/About Phone and flash the one that matches the last four characters in your Baseband (like GB27 for example)-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764210

Flashing a custom ROM or doing a factory reset won't mess with your cricket flash, although you will have to follow directions in this thread to get back working MMS and 3g (if you flash an AOSP or CM-based ROM... 3g should work out of the box on stock-based).

Before you do anything, though, I would read read and READ some more. Not to sound rude, but you don't wanna dig yourself into a bigger hole just because you don't know what you're doing. And I'd be glad to help if you need it [emoji2]

GPS Fix for ls980 cm11

After an exhaustive search to try to fix the GPS on mySprint LG G2 I think I have finally found a remedy that I have tested on cm11 nightly rom. I have tried all the fixes I could find including putting cardboard under the contacts on the back cover. I still was unable to get any kind of GPS response at all. Now after creating this flash-able fix I can lockon in less than a minute even indoors.
The fix is a combination of files I found during my search for a fix which include some .so files I have been told came from the PAC rom including the GPS confirm file I took from a stock LG G2 rom
This has only been tested by me several times and only on a Sprint LS980 with cm11 nightly. When you upgrade to the latest nightly you must flash this file after upgrade, or at least I did, or you will lose GPS.
I just wanted to share the only fix that has worked for me with the community

I couldn't get this to work for me. However flashing my nandroid back to stock and downloading the app GPS lock in the playstore, getting a lock, then flashing back to AOSP helped me get a lock on LP Resurrection. I assume that would also work for CM11. Not that that's new news but just confirming it worked for me.

Sorry it didn't work for you. I personally think the GPS in this phone sucks. I have heard of people .tot there phones to get GPS signal then re-rooting, installing recovery, and re-flashing the rom. That is just a lot to do for me. Like I said I have tried all the fixes and apps with no luck. I have to re-flash this after nightly updates or I have no GPS at all. Hopefully this will work for some people.
Do you think this might work for LP roms as well?

You could try it. Just make sure to make a nandroid first just in case.
who try it on CM12?
I did and it didn't work.
I just installed the latest nightly (CM12) and GPS work just fine.
I stand corrected, tried it on a highway and GPS was NOT working. I think I got fooled by phone locating itself by nearby WiFi APs.
Just an FYI, GPS finally works on latest CM12 nightlies.

You can pull your gps.conf file from your stock rom and override (or rename) the one in aosp/cm. I always do it that way and it works 100% of the time.
You can use root explorer or the like to add it. It's located in system/etc/gps.conf.
Anybody else had some luck with this patch?
I also tried to use the original gps.conf but same result no gps signal.
