XT1053 GPS can't lock after 4.4.2 update - Moto X Q&A

Anybody have the same issue? When it's 4.4, I used the XT1053 on ATT network and it never lost GPS lock. After the 4.4.2 Update, now it loses GPSS lock constantly to the point that it's useless. Drives me nuts!

Did that happen on the ATT network with 4.4.2 ROM?

It was on t-mobile and also while on wify. The only solution was to revert back to a stock rom like Kangarat or go back completely to stock.

I had this on the TMobile variant under 4.4. It was an AGPS misconfiguration issue that was indeed addressed (for me anyway) in 4.4.2, thankfully.
While this was maybe broken by some knucklehead in 4.4.2 for ATT variants, I have not heard any wide spread complaints like I did in 4.4 on the T-Mobile variant. Try wiping the phone's cache, or maybe a reset.
Gotta love Android!
EDIT: Ahhh... you "are" using the the T-Mobile variant (missed that on first pass). Perhaps what they did to fix it on T-Mobile's network broke it on ATT's. Try toggling Airplane mode when you run into this. If it immediately corrects the lock, it is pretty safe to assume that is an AGPS issue.

Thank you for the insight. I have the same suspicion that they fixed it on the tmobile side and messed it up on the att side when updating to 4.4.2. However xt1053 is supposed to be compatible with all gsm networks. Gee. I will try the airplane mode next time and see what happens. Thanks.

Roam Control 2.9.2 has been released!!! 11-28-2013 UPDATE

EDIT: 2.9.2 is now available which should fix roam control not working after the MJA update.
There is a brief delay before it roams so give it a change to do its thing.
MrGreg has released Roam Control 2.9.1 which adds support for our Galaxy S4.
What does this mean?
for those of you who have bad data or coverage you can pair this up with an appropriate PRL and get better voice / data coverage!
Here is a LINK to the website where you can get the app.
Please be sure to click HERE and find a thread to thank MrGreg in as he is usually inactive on XDA.

Thank you SO much for this update. You made my freakn day!! Verizon has full bars LTE on my block, where as Sprint literally doesn't have any service what so ever, I roam on Verizon 95% of the time (but I have an AirRave at the house, but before the AirRave that is what would happen!). But also even 5-10 minutes outside of my block I get horrible service. I bought Roam Control on my GS3 and now I get to use it on my GS4 too, thank God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still not working here. It gets su and does nothing. Stock rooted MDL with newest ktoonz Kernel.
Edit. Reboot and works like a champ
besides its stuck on roaming even after mdc back to stock??
Well I had to use the dialer code to re activate my phone so wierd. Any one else have this issue?
Does not work for me. Switching does abolutely nothing.

I believe people are having problems with the mdl and above firmware update. The mdc firmware was the one that you could easily rewrite the prl if I remember correctly. I am going to try rolling back to mdc then test roam control and see where I get.

Yes. Only explanation is that it's somehow controlled by the SIM card. One that's acting normal is on TMobile and the other is on AT&T. Also, both are XT1053, but one shows 4G and another shows 4G LTE. Has to be SIM-controlled... I hate AT&T!
EDIT: nope... not it.

Yes. This is what's driving me nuts. Although one is completely virgin and another one I've been using.
So if you swap the sims between the two phones the odd behavior doesn't also change? I know certain providers like to specify what the phone should indicate, this really sounds like of those cases.
I haven't swapped but saw the other phone show same 4g LTE icon. I guess AT&T is forcing it to always on.

If you want the somewhat technical reason, inside the SystemUI.apk, Motorola has modified it and added a bools.xml which basically turns on and off many carrier related stuff.
For example, Sprint sim cards change the signal icons to 6 bars, verizon 5 bars, and if you had an AT&T phone, the AT&T icons.
Just thought I would add this.:good:
That's what I figured. I also thought that the TMobile version would be immune from silly AT&T crap like this, but guess not.

So nothing noticeable but nothing worse signal strength same as before?
Signal seems the same for me. Camera seems better for me but who knows. Nothing really noticeable for me but I don't use exchange so I'm not sure if that bug was squashed.
I side loaded it btw didn't get the OTA.

Woke up this morning to a "your phone has an update available" message. Downloaded itself and was waiting to install.
I did notice that I had to reboot the phone to connect to Wifi after the update, but so far everything is looking solid. Haven't checked bluetooth or NFC yet.
I got mine today too..tried to install and it failed.. I'm root using jcases method of rockmymoto and had to do it by adb shell.. Could that affect it?

Moto service automatically downloaded 135MB 4.4.2 OTA for me, OVER THE MOBILE DATA. I only had 300MB data for the month and am not amused that the phone just decided to download OTA by itself even when WIFI was turned off. Furthermore, I can't find any place to disable such behavior for the future. Any suggestion ?
Mine is verizon.
Thanks.

I've looked in and out and haven't found any setting that can disable such OTA behavior.
I'm actually using another carrier's SIM on this phone ---- Verizon Moto X is gsm unlocked.
What if this happens when I'm roaming internationally (with a non-Verizon carrier) ?
Downloading OTA via mobile data without consent just doesn't make sense.

If you are rooted you can freeze MotorolaOTA app or rename it.

Hey there. I got this new moto x and have been holding off on is upgrades until I can get my bearings on what I need to do to ensure fully unlocked and customizable phone in the future as I caught wind of issues doing so post kk. Twice now my Sim has stopped working. Wondering if this was a known issue or if I need to investigate prior to visit the warranty
Thanks in advanced for any feedback.

Just understand that if you really have an XT1053 on ATT, it doesn't support all the bands ATT uses for LTE so you'll fall back to HSPA

Interesting. On 4g now and thought I checked for compatibility.
My issue is that I drop all communication. Not that I step down in speed.

Right, the missing LTE bands shouldn't cause total loss of service.
For ATT there is 4G HSPA and 4G LTE.. not sure how the GSM varients report each. And the XT1053 does support the primary LTE band ATT uses.
Hey there,
I had the same issue. Got a XT1058 and am using it on T-Mobile. I kept loosing signal completely. Sim Card not recognized.
The problem I found is that if you are using a sim card that has been cut to fit the tray will cause signal loss issue.
Went to T-Mobile got a new sim card and been using it without a problem.
Let us know if this helps you.

Just DL'd the update and interestingly, phone is now on LYZ28E, w/ WiFi calling.
In all my reading and research, thought that carrier updates were specific to only branded units and not unlocked ones. Had unlocked Sony Z3 on TMo and in six months, never got TMo firmware. That was impetus behind my post.

Things have changed in Nexusland with the N6. While all builds will work on any Nexus 6, certain builds have carrier specific features.
