I just bought a HTC One last week and went through the process to convert it to a fully stock Google Edition before even using the phone. Everything went without a hitch.
Coming from a Nexus 4 (And Note II prior to that), I've noticed my Wifi and Data signals to be very weak compared to my previous devices.
For example, in my bathroom I get no Wifi Signal but my previous devices had no problems getting one here. I noticed at work the same thing - no Wifi in places I used to get it. It stays connected in both examples, but is just super super slow and shows little to no signal.
Within good range it works fine.
I have a Bell Mobility HTC One 32GB (Canada), I unlocked bootloader, S-OFF'd, Changed CID to the Google One and flashed the Google Edition RUU (Pre-rooted) Everything seems to work fine except the Wifi/Data signals are weaker than previous devices. I already received a 15MB update from Google that updated fine too.
Is Wifi/Data signals generally weak on this phone? Any suggestions?

What radio are you using?
You could experiment with different radios which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419699
Newest may not always be the best, so try different ones. Also, I think the Radio_4T.20.3218.03 (leak) is strictly ATT and doesn't have the international stuff.

Is Radio the baseband version? It says "4A.18.3263.15_10.38h.1157.04L"
Its whatever comes in the RUU for Stock 4.3 Google Edition rom
I've never really had to play with Radio's much in the past.
I assume I would need to flash a Custom Recovery again to flash the radio, then flash back to stock so I can continue to get updates. Probably should do this anyway so I can make a backup of my phone while I'm at it.

Yes it's the baseband.
And yes also for the custom recovery. You can only flash these radios using custom recovery. Don't know if it's worth the hassle for you though?

It's easy enough to do as long as I can find the Latest Stock recovery to flash back on the phone.
The signal is noticeably weak in a lot of spots it wasn't an issue with before, so I'm willing to try.
Anyone else with a North American based phone that did this conversion experience these issues?

I have a similar problem with my stock rogers phone. I think it started after the 4.3 ota update. My wifi connectivity constantly keeps turning off and on lasting only a minute or two. Watching videos has become too much of a hassle. i've seen other recent threads with the same issue regarding wifi connectivity. We need this problem fixed asap!
Has changing the radio fixed your wifi issues?
same here I the conversion to GPE nonroot and not unlocked but s-off. My wifi and data signals are horrible in places that were fine when I was running 4.3/htc sense5. My base band is 4A.18.3262.15_10.38h.1157.04L. Hope this gets fixed with 4.4.
am thinking about radio flash but to what? I have never done the procedure and sounds like a hassle...I would have to unlock and install custom recovery like twrp, dont have to root correct? Install the radio (also install new firmware?) then I would have to reflash the stock recovery? and relock phone to get OTA?
So I flashed this rom a few weeks ago and have loved it.

But when I am on LTE my download and upload speeds are so low. I have updated APN settings and tried different ones with no luck. I had no issues with 4G LTE before so I'm wondering if maybe I missed a step or something. My download rate is .56 Mbps and my upload is .42 Mbps...which is awful. I really am at a loss right now as to what to do.

So.....
So noone has any advice? I've searched and searched. Apparently no one else is having this issue or they just don't realize it yet.

My only suggestion would be to delete the ROM slit and start over. I haven't heard of anybody else having this problem on the GPE ROM, so it sounds like it might just be a bad flash. Try again and let me know what happens.
Also list the steps you went through when you flashed the ROM, then we'll know if you missed a step.
No luck,
Here's the steps I took:
Downloaded safestrap, i9295 ROM, MF3 and camera fix.
Installed the latest safestrap.
Installed recovery
Booted to recovery
Created ROM slot 1
Installed i9295 ROM in ROM slot 1
Installed mf3
Installed camera fix
Rebooted.
Hopefully there is something I am missing or maybe I should just call at&t and see if its on there end. Wifi and Bluetooth work just fine.
Do you get normal speeds on your stock slot? If yes then it's definitely a ROM issue, if not then it's an AT&T issue.
The steps you are using are correct so you should be getting the same speeds as your stock slot.
So if I was a genius and flashed over the stock slot to begin with? Would that be the issue? Does 4G LTE require the stock rom to be there?

Oh boy. I've seen people doing that in the Verizon and AT&T threads, but you may be the first person who's done it on the S4 Active. I personally haven't done it so I don't know how much help I can be. According to the other threads you should be fine and everything should work properly, so I'm not sure what happened. My suggestion would be to Odin back to MF1 stock and make sure that you are indeed getting higher speeds. Then flash GPE to a ROM slot and confirm your speeds once again. If they both are working as expected, then try flashing GPE to your stock slot.
I've have GPE in ROM slot 1 right now and I'm getting the same speeds that I do on my stock slot. Other than basically starting from scratch I don't really know what to tell you. It might be a good idea to look through the Verizon and AT&T threads and see if anybody else has your same problem.
It may be of help
Are you on ATT network? If you are, i would flash "Hyperdrive ATT Compatibility patch" , you can find it in the Verizon S4 "Hyperdrive Rom" tread in the forum. It works great on other roms too.
Or make sure that you are not over the limit on your phone monthly internet, ATT wireless data plan, because if you are , they will slow down the speed for you until the end of your current billing cycle.

I had this problem on my att s4. I337. I noticed it while running GE rom. Then flashed cleanrom. Same issue. Then it seemed like my stock slot was having issues too. So today I reflashed the stock rom and removed safestrap. The phone has been working normal again. I don't know if it is root related or safestrap related. Maybe something about GE rom messes the modem up somehow. what version of safestrap do you have?
I have the newest version of safestrap.
Tried installing the hyperdrive att compatibility patch...sent my phone into a boot loop. So that's a no go. Guess I'll just have to live with it till I get a new phone.
Somehow during my update to the 24A baseband, I lost my APN settings (there are no entries), and therefore have no mobile data ("Mobile Network State: Disconnected"). Where can I find the APN settings for my vzw g2? I found a site that claimed to have the correct VZW apn settings (can't post links yet, just google "buzzmobile verizon apn" and it's the top result) but for some reason, whenever I try and set the MNC to 012, the entire APN entry disappears from the menu. Entering all the other settings and leaving the MNC at its default (I think it was 004) didn't resolve my internet connection. Any ideas? I was thinking I could probably revert to stock KK using the kdz method, but since that'd be rather time consuming, if there's any way I could just flash a quick fix or something I'd prefer that.
I'm running Mahdi 6-28 build, V6 patch, 4.4.4 PA mini gapps, 24A baseband
After several hours of searching and troubleshooting I found a fix. Trying to make APN entries didn't lead anywhere, and editing the apn-conf.xml also did nothing. I had flashed 4 or 5 different 4.4.4 roms (some stock, some AOSP) and still nothing, but for whatever reason, doing a wipe and flashing XDABBEB's VS98024A v1.2.1 ROM (can't post link sorry) fixed my mobile data. I then did a system/cache/dalvik/data wipe and reinstalled Mahdi 6-28 and boom I have Mahdi with working LTE. Sorry for the spam I guess, but maybe this will help anyone having similar issues.

Ran into the same exact issue on a friend's phone. Going to try this out. Regardless if it works, thanks for the post!
UPDATE: It worked. The 24a bootstack includes the new modem and properly formats relevant partitions. I flashed XDABBEB's ROM just to replicate your exact procedure but this shouldn't be necessary. The bootstack is all that is needed when coming from a 12b rom.

Having the same issue and flashing the 24a bootstack without the ROM does nothing. About to return this phone, it seems like nothing works correctly unless you are on the POS bloated stock ROM. What a shame, such potential on this device. Oh well.

Return it to stock, let it take the KK OTA, root it, autorec for recovery, flash your 24A based rom of choice, that always works for me.
I had Carbon running fine on mine til I got bit by the black line issue. I haven't put AOSP on the replacement, probably will soon..

Haha I should have clarified. I meant that flashing the 24a bootstack and THEN flashing a 24a-based rom should do the trick. Flashing the 24a bootstack, XDABBEB's rom, and then (clean) flashing another 24a-based rom is redundant.
Thanks, doesn't matter now. Phone fell 1 foot and cracked to hell and touchscreen no longer works.
I have an unlocked bootloader and rooted Nexus 6. I usually run custom ROMs but I have had some issues when I install them for about the past week or so. I use Straight Talk CDMA which uses the Verizon towers. If I flash an official firmware such as LMY47I (5.1) or LMY47Z (5.1.1) then I have no issues with LTE connecting from the very beginning of the setup screen. Everything works fine including voice, data, and texting. When I install a custom ROM the signal will not connect and there is an exclamation point (!) next to the signal icon. I did have to exchange my phone and Motorola sent me a new one but I was able to use custom ROMs without issues on this phone until sometime earlier this week.
I know that people have been having some issues recently with connection problems and there are various threads on them. I have tried several of these workarounds but it just seems odd that I never had these issues before.
Any help or suggestions would be great. Don't mind running stock firmware but would prefer to be able to use custom ROMs again.
Thanks in advance.

Try a different radio. I've read that the radio from the M test build is fixing some issues.
I've tried flashing a few of the newest radios but not the Android M version. Will give it a try.

You can even flash an older radio if need be.
So I tried installing two different custom ROMs and both times I got the same signal icon with an (!) next to it. There is no working connection. I tried flashing the radio from the Android M preview and also installed the radio from LMY47D (Verizon 5.1.0) since I am on Straight Talk CDMA. Neither one seemed to help. After flashing these radios I went back to restoring a TWRP backup based on just a stock firmware. From what I understand the radio is separate from any particular ROM you flash and thus independent of each other. I am able to get an LTE signal when I revert back to the backup.
So now I'm stumped. It doesn't seem to be based on the radio. None of the custom ROMs that I was able to use less than a week ago are able to find an LTE signal after a clean install. I can only seem to use official firmware versions.
Any other possible ideas? Could the phone be defective? It was an RMA replacement and I think it was new and not refurbished.
Thanks in advance.

Let me take a look at the APN settings on the stock firmware and then see how they compare when I use a custom ROM. In the past, I never had to set the APN settings as I thought they were set automatically on CDMA sim cards. I'll take a look.

Even if there's another APN with the same name as the one set by default, try switching to the other. That's what worked for me on Exodus.

No problem, glad you got it straight. :good:
While I was running CyanogenMod, I suddenly had a devastating issue where the phone would not even detect SIM Cards, and Bluetooth would sometimes cause the phone to force reboot. Afterwards some custom ROMs have the same issues, and reboot literally randomly, sometimes endlessly bootlooping.
The stock 5.1 ROM also had the issues but also didn't wanna connect to WiFi.
I recently followed a guide to install the 6.0.1 update on the Turbo, and suddenly, everything worked again. No random reboots, Bluetooth working, and WiFi. However ANY other ROM would have the issues.
Is there something that the OTA 6.0.1 update fixes that all other ROMs cause these problems?
No one else has those problems on custom ROMs. So, there's nothing to "fix".
No one would be running any of the custom ROMs if they had such issues.
Stock 5.1 also didn't have connection issues nor Wi-Fi issues.
Flashing 6.0.1 stock reflashed your radio, which "fixed" your issue, probably. THAT was probably all you needed to do. You can also flash @bhb27 clear modem file, which fixes stuff like GPS. Sometimes flashing a custom ROM will confuse a radio/modem and clearing the cache/stats with that file helps as well as reflashing the radio.
I thought that might have been what happened, but even after flashing the 6.0.1, which has everything working, installing a custom ROM gives the issues. Before this I always thought my hardware simply failed but this is the only ROM where it works now, the 6.0.1.
So what I should try is clearing the modem status or reflashing the radio even after installing a custom ROM just to refresh the things?

Yes, some of your symptoms like the endless bootlooping seem very unusual. I don't know of radio-related issues that cause that. But not being able to use GPS, Wi-Fi connection issues, or even not detecting SIM cards are symptoms of radio/modem problems.
When flashing a custom ROM on our Quarks, GPS especially was a complaint. There were workarounds to fix it as early as 2015, but then @bhb27 (who is the dev for several custom ROMs) came up with the @bhb27 Clear Modem File. You flash that. In simplistic terms it clears the cache of your modem. It has helped countless people, with Droid Turbo/Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx.
Often just that fixes any issues, but you can also then take the next step of re-flashing the most current radio/modem for the Droid Turbo.
ROMs don't have radio/modems included inside the ROM. When you flash a custom ROM, it uses the radio you already have. Clearing the cache, and reflashing makes everything new again.
We've had custom ROMs for over two years now for our Quark phones. True the Droid Turbo XT1254 bootloader was finally unlocked back in November of 2015, but still that's been 1.5 years. There's tons of custom ROMs and if you look at the download stats of those ROMs there's THOUSANDS of people using them. If the ROMs had the issues you had, there would be no users, believe me!
The issue is for a percentage of people, not even a majority, but a percentage, the radio/modem becomes confused when flashing a custom ROM. But it's easily fixed...
Go look at this page from just two days ago. Similar issue with AOKP 7.X. EXCEPT it's NOT an issue with the ROM. It's the issue of someone not reading thoroughly.

Unfortunately, flashing the clean modem.zip didn't bring about anything than a very temporal fix. Now it's basically a complete crapshoot as to whether I will get complete silence on my end and my mic muted for the other person, or whether the call will go through, but after some a mount of time I will lose all audio and my mic will mute. A couple times calling worked fine. Would you recommend flashing the XT1254 radio/modem zip you included now that I've flashed the clean modem?

Yes, if you have an XT1254.
In TWRP, flash back-to-back with the Clean Modem file first, then the radio/modem.
Then let TWRP clear all caches (it's an option anytime you "install" something), then reboot to system.

Then let TWRP clear all caches (it's an option anytime you "install" something), then reboot to system.

FYI: just re-flashing the modem doesn't fix all issues -- and just flashing the Clear Modem file doesn't always fix all issues (but it does fix a lot). However, a combination of the two, YES.
Back before the @bhb27 coded the Clear Modem file, just re-flashing the modem did NOT fix GPS issues which plagued a minority of users. I never had the issue, but for people that did have it, they complained and complained. For us who didn't have it, we couldn't figure out what they were doing "wrong".
Someone figured out a a very complicated workaround (going back to stock, getting a GPS lock, then immediately flashing the custom ROM, etc.) And then someone figured out they could share a TWRP backup of their "good" modem for people with GPS problems.
But the @bhb27 Clear Modem file FIXED ALL THAT, for GPS. All you had to do was flash that, after installing a custom ROM.
But for other radio/modem problems, some people flashing the Clear Modem file AND then re-flashing radio/modem is the key.
You can flash them both back to back in TWRP -- the Clean Modem file first, then the radio/modem.
