For Canadians users to get up and running on Kit Kat

canadian modem.bin (4.3) here- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542043

unplug phone

power-home-volume down (do it this way because some flashes don't stick if you boot to DL from the ROM)

once in download mode plug in the device

open odin 3.07

flash modem.bin under the phone option (leave everything else default)

should be good to go

modems for i337m are all the same, carriers don't play with em
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Idan73:
Mobile Odin is certainly NOT a no go. You just have to know how to use it. You can not be on Google edition firmware and expect it to work.

Either load 4.2.2 Canadian nandroid backup or simply edit build prop to reflect Canadian build so that mobile Odin pro can download and use correct flash kernel, or in case of free version manually download Canadian flash kernel and put in root of internal sd. You still have to change build prop.

Otherwise as post before, flash modem bin with regular Odin as a phone. Older versions of Odin have more success than later. Go with what chainfire suggests and ships with.

That's the modem I'm using and it's terrible with 4.4. Have low low signal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Idan73:
With me, although it shows less bars overall, the signal quality is the same according to asu level in system settings. Imo, it is only more accurate representation now with kit kat.

Samsung did not have time and do their magic (artificially inflating signal bars to make us feel good about our phone and our provider) as evident by number of other little things missing from 4.2 through 4.3 to 4.4. They had a reputation to keep because of Motorola and htc so they rushed it.

Does anyone know of a way of disabling hdcp on android 4.4. Seems they have taken that option away in the galaxy s4 Google edition, but is available under development settings on the nexus 5, thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
Don't know for sure, but there's a large possibility of being able to do it with a build.prop entry. May want to google that and see what you can find, if you haven't already....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] celkin:
Yeah, tried that. Unfortunately no change. As i suspected initially we're just going to have to be... Patient.

Nothing changed after odin flashing that bin file. One bar lte all the time (no signal at all in the bathroom, although that may be for the best).

Thank you for the suggestion though, much appreciated.

Fellow Canadian here.

I discovered the following. On Dandroid KitKat with the MK6 modem, my LTE reception is very poor in places I generally had 2 or 3 bars. I now have either none or 1 bar. Switching manually to 3G, I immediately go to 4 bars.

Current solution is to leave it on 3G only when I am in my office where I have WiFi, and where I also have the LTE zone-out.

YMMV
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
As I stated before the actual signal is the same, the bars just don't represent the signal strength as being as strong for some reason.

Thanks for explaining the signal issue. I'm having problems with Bluetooth. It doesn't work. Connects fine but when starts to share Phonebook data with the car it immediately crashes (bluetooth share has forced closed) and then keeps turning on and off and keeps force closing. I had the came issue with another 4.4 rom. I'm using the Canadian 4.3 modem. Can anyone else confirm this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] adoute:
I had no problem connecting & syncing contacts with a 2013 Chrysler 200. I have made several calls using the phonebook entries, too. I also have a 2011 Ford Fusion that I haven't connected to yet, but can try this evening if more data would be useful.

What make / model are you having trouble syncing with?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] doodio:
Happens in all vehicles I try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] celkin:
It might be just a graphical mismatch on American devices perhaps. But when i loose bars texts and voice fail. Its not just a graphical issue with me at least.

And yes on other roms switching to 3g seems to alleviate signal problems with lte. When i switch to 3g only (the very first thing i did actually) signal drops and does not return on reboot until lte is enabled.

I'm not sure what to do here... Strong battery live 4.4 vs signal 4.3... Quite perplexing....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] doodio:
Did you try a different modem? Cell phone without signal is useless. Should go back to 4.3 if no fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] celkin:
Yes, I have tried 3 different modems at this point unfortunately none make any difference. The only thing that I can think of now is to try to find a separate apn for 3g only, and hope that makes a difference.

I have been running 4.3 for quite some time now, different roms, none of which really give a great battery life unfortunately. Right off the bat I'm probably getting an additional 30 percent of battery life with 4.4 roms , which is why I have been so diligently trying to find a solution for this lol

I can not say about bt syncing with the cars, but with BT stereos, it has been superb experience. Normally on we roms I am used to having to reconnect bt sometimes 3 times daily, cause it would just randomly disconnect after phonecalls. I think most I have gone without this issue is several days in a row without overrun and disconnection.

I have been running this rom since the day stock kernel was released v4.3 and had only one random disconnect, yesterday in fact, where I had to cycle the bt toggle and power cycle headset, so it would connect properly and have sound on media.

Canadian Bell user checking in.

Reading through this thread, I was scared to try this ROM considering all the network errors other Canadians have reported.

But I went ahead anyways.

No regrets. No network issues to report here at all.

I was on the Euroskank CM11 kitkat rom, which I believe was an MG1 baseband.

Flashed the KangaKat rom, and the Canadian Fix. Wifi and LTE started working right away with no issue. Still being reported in About Phone as MG1.

Also, the ROM is much more BUTTERY than both the Euroskank CM11 and another unofficial CM11 I've ran in the last couple weeks.

**EDIT**

On a tip from Celkin, I toggled from LTE to 3G and found that 3G wasn't working at all.

So I flashed the MK6 modem.bin posted above.

With that modem, LTE seems to be working fine, as is 3G. :)

I'm going going to try switching the faux kernel to see if it fixes my Bluetooth issues. Having Bluetooth reboot issue now as well. Tried connecting to a device that wasn't there and it rebooted.

Question: do I need to flash the Canadian fix again after new kernel?

To anyone worried about flashing this rom as a Canadian user, don't be. It's perfect other than Bluetooth and I had these problems on other 4.4 rom I tried. My battery life is better on this one by far!

I've read through the modem thread and it really doesn't say much about the implications of upgrading the baseband. I've been leaving my baseband/modem alone (CUAMDL) because most of the posts make it sound like upgrading an AT&T S4 to MF3 or higher locks the phone down ? Or is the security lockdown that came with the MF3 update part of some other package ?

If we need to update the modem to really take advantage of the newer roms, it would be great if someone could write a plain-english walkthrough with some explanations. I'll certainly buy the person a beer.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] davanw:
Sorry, I'm not understanding what you are saying.

I've tried four kitkat roms on the S4 now. All of them have some kind of HDR camera issue. CM based roms ( with PA gapps ) won't re-focus when on HDR, and end up saving a blank jpeg file.

My experience with this rom, is it will properly save the HDR file, but the camera won't re-focus on demand. Switch HDR off, and the re-focus works fine again.

No-one else is having HDR camera issues with 4.4 thus far?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spunjah413:
Yep, focus issues with HDR enabled. Looks like you need to focus first, then select HDR. When finished disable HDR to get focus back.

Okay so I feel horrible doing this as it goes against my very nature as I know the answer is in the thread somewhere. I am trying to find out how to get the "tinted" transparent status-bar that is on the Nexus 5 & Google Experience Launcher working on the lock-screen. I searched for the following terms with no results "transparent status", "transparent statusbar", "kitkat transparent", no answers were found.

I have the GEL launcher working and my statusbar is tinted on the homescreens however I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get it tinted on the lock screen. I am using Xposed & Gravity Box KK but don't see any settings in there for this option.

I at least thought I seen the answer posted here but there is a lot of clutter in the last few pages of this thread I was hoping if someone knew they could point me in the right direction.
