[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lobster!:
Got it to stick thanks for the help.

Now, this isn't a placebo cause I'd barely get anything but EDGE in my house, but I think this modem takes advantage of the new towers T-Mob put around my area.

However, when I would get HSPA, I'd get a consistent data speed of around 8-11 Mbps, now I go down to 3 mbps. I've only tested this inside. Nonetheless, this is way greater than the EDGE speeds I'd get in the past where I'm sitting.

So I guess it's a shot in the dark whether it's good to update the modem or not. Most are reporting more bars with less data speeds. Good thing you can always flash back. Thanks OP! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] theman1111:
Data Speeds

What is everyone averaging in data speeds because mine seem very slow compared to before flashing the modem.

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lobster!:
Very slow for what I'd get on T-Mobile, 2-5 Mbps.

Did you bar count increase?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lobster!:
Oh my god, I went out into town today and where I'd have 1-3 bars of LTE, I had all five. Like, EVERYWHERE. This modem REALLY spiced up my signal. I didn't check speedtest because it's always inconsistent when it comes to LTE (sometimes 15 mbps, sometimes 32), real usage got me blazing fast downloads for sure, though.

I'm super happy with it.

Now can anyone tell me, how do I force shut off the EDGE radio in my phone and keep it WCDMA and LTE only? I have perfect signal in my house now but for some reason my phone likes to switch the EDGE, and it's only resettable by making a call. In the mobile network settings I can either have WCDMA/GSM(Edge), LTE/WCDMA/GSM, or WCDMA. I need just LTE/WCDMA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bangincrazy:
I'm on the Goldeneye rom and i still can't see to get the flash to stick. I have tried everything mentioned in this thread. So lost
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
These speeds seems like a significant improvements... but I'm wondering if the new NB4 modem will help folks like myself who are using Tmobile's M919 S4 on AT&T network? Is anyone doing that and notice any speed increase/improvements?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] steveli92:
It seems to me that the battery life on the new baseband is slightly better than the MK2.

Could be just a placebo effect though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I have the exact same issue with GPS. It happened immediately after updating the modem.

GPS is completely dead now.

Nothing I do lets it even see a single satellite, much less get a lock.

Anyone have any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shiamatsu:
I'm currently using this gps.conf from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1476962 (<-been using the Google Specific No-SSL version since my s2 times) and my GPS signal is much better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Well that worked. Like a charm, too.

Here's my full process...

I had fully working GPS.

Then I flashed your ND4 modem.

GPS was then dead. No sats at all, not even without lock.

I reverted to the MDL modem and GPS worked perfectly again.

I reflashed your ND4 modem and this time the phone saw sats, but couldn't lock onto them. So something was wonky from the changing to the ND4 modem. Keep in mind that I didn't change anything like the stored location from Faster Fix or anything. The modem flash was affecting this.

Then I flashed the gps.conf you recommended from that link and now my phone is sitting next to me on the couch...inside...15 feet from the window and on the middle floor (a ceiling, my inner spring metal coil matress, and a roof above me) and the phone is seeing 19 sats and locked on 14.

So that conf file deffinately does the trick.

Will that survive ROm upgrade? Or will I have to do that every time? (Not hard. Its not like I'm going to delete the 194kb file)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shiamatsu:
You will have to flash the file every time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skee_J:
I have never successfully upgraded my modem (that I can think of), but after using this method and files, it finally worked. Not sure if placebo, but my 3G (which I primarily use to conserve battery) is a lot faster it seems. It is about double the speed now. Thanks so much OP! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cnewsgrp:
What is the benefit of keeping mdl bootloader? T mobile bootloader are not locked anyway and you can flash recovery and root anyway? Sorry don't mean to question this thread. I just bought a m919 and will get it tomorrow and I am trying to understand what to do. Should I update to kitkat or stay on whatever firmware I have and just root

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
One big reason is that you can revert to stock without any sign you modded the phone for warranty purposes. Plus, with enterprise email, you trigger KNOX and you cannot use enterprise any more.

Might be a moot issue with you - 99% probability your device will have KNOX with either 4.3 or 4.4 - unless you are getting a used one with MDL on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
I have seen significant increase in speed since flashing the modem and more bars.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
What's enterprise email?

Pp.

sent from my S4 as I replace spark plugs on my Ford Escape via bluetooth.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
Secure corporate email that cannot be accessed without a matching setup at the user end (think blackberry). If you trip KNOX, the enterprise module on it will not work and cannot be fixed. That limitation was not found on bootloaders before KNOX.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cnewsgrp:
Thanks! This is great news I was worried that Bootloader might me locked with 4.3/4.4 that would prevent me from rooting/installing custom recovery. Up in the ATT world bootloader is locked and we need to do crazy things just to install a custom ROM.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] salamandar:
OK, so if i'm already stuck on the 4.3 modem from an insurance claim, and since I have already flashed a custom rom, how do i upgrade my radio to nb4 for faster speeds.

Seem like i have to odin back to stock, upgrade OTA all the way to NB4 then root etc, flash GPE again, is that so or is there an easier method.

Any assistance would be helpful, I have searched for NB4 and keep getting the 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 patched by fenny one, so ya very confused and frustrated, ****ing knox, next phone will be non samsung that's for sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skitts:
One question you guys do I have to reset the flash the modem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
You could use Fenny, but since you are stuck with KNOX, the revert and update path is not really that bad a path.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You mean factory reset where you lose all your information?

Nope. You do not.

Though I would ALWAYS recommend making a full nandroid backup of your current ROM just in case something goes wrong. While highly unlikely, it is possible that you could bork your system up when flashing the new radio and be forced to do a full Odin reset to stock to fix it. If that happens, you can easily re-root and restore your ROM with all your data and settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skitts:
Sorry for my incomplete sentence I meant to say do i have to reset the flash counter to Odin flash the modem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PiggySmalls:
No, you do not

Anybody know of mobile odin working yet since it got an update to 4.10???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xda23:
Can this be done without a computer.could I do it mobile odin. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Oscar_david:
I've been reading through the thread to find this out myself since it seemed mobile Odin wouldn't recognize the .bin file for me. Turned out I was putting it in the wrong slot.

I have just successfully installed this to the modem #2 slot via mobile Odin. Though in my reading I couldn't find any others who have (maybe I didn't read enough).

Maybe it has to do with what specific versions of rom/software I'm running. Idk.

But here's what I have: fenny's rom v 1.3

Previous baseband was mdl

Free v of mobile Odin v 3.76

Flash kernel v 5.0

Also I had to put the file in internal sd as mobile Odin complains about the extsd file system.

After running mobile Odin, phone reboots into Odin mode. I held the power button ttill it rebooted, and it went into mobile Odin screen before finishing boot.

All good now. :)

Cheers

Edit. Warning!

I tried reverting to mdl via mobile Odin. Big mistake! It resulted in a soft brick that took out recovery as well. So it was a B to get back up and running.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Is anyone getting this "GPS signal lost" bug on NB4? I've never had this in the area where I live and right after I flashed this new modem, this started to happen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WangChung81:
No placebo here. Was sitting in my home office with intermittent 1 bar of 4G LTE, now I have 4 bars. EFF yeah!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Is this after getting a lock?

Either way look for the flashable gps fix mentioned by the OP in the last couple weeks. See if that fixes it.

Sent from your phone. You should be more careful where you leave that thing.

Except that this radio is gsm only and isnt affecting your lte at all. Could be that t mobile fixed the tower near you

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shiamatsu:
Try downloading the Google Specific No-SSL build from http://goo.gl/ha1KC0 and flash it.

Note to others: I've updated the OP w/ this attempted fix for others having the same issue.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Just to emphasize...this REALLY helped me. I went from no gps signal at all after flashing the new radio to the best Ive ever had on this phone.

It is no joke.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WangChung81:
What are the odds that they fixed it within the 3 minutes it took to flash the modem? haha

I had a freshly rebooted phone, sitting in front of me on my desk, with 1 bar of LTE signal. The same amount of signal I'd had all day and the day before. I flash the modem, phone reboots, and now boosted signal.

I'm not sure what exactly is in the firmware, but whatever it was it definitely increased my reception.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The_Bourne:
Just confirmed you can upgrade 4.3 to 4.4.2 using Kies and Baseband will update also. I did lose root, flash, and data, so I recommend you backing everything up. I will post a topic in details if needed, but it's pretty simple, just download Kies, have it recognize your device then it will ask you to upgrade to 4.4.2. I used the Emergency recovery under Tools because my phone was rooted, but have your S/N available behind your battery and input it when it asks. Update, allow phone to reboot then your done!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] waylo:
Hi everyone,

So I'm on a 4.2.2 ROM, Wicked v5.1 (see signature). I see no reason to update to a newer ROM at this point.

If I'm reading the thread right, it shouldn't be a problem to update my MDL modem to this one?

Theoretically, it could improve my GSM reception? But not the LTE, because that modem is not updated here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
im having a problem downloading the modem. it seems like its not working anymore. can anyone of you here know where we i we can find the latest modem for tmobile s4? thanks.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shiamatsu:
jeez man....if you would looked a bit under my thread in "General," you would've found http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2677252.

I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but c'mon man, don't expect me to answer such obvious things.

Yea there shouldn't be a problem. Regarding reception, honestly, it's best to see for yourself if you see any improvement since it varies among users. Like for me, I don't notice anything; however, some have posted here that they do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
Try again. The link in this thread worked for me just a few minutes ago. I also downloaded the AGPS patch in advance just in case I need it and those links were all working too. Good luck!

Thank you Armin for the rocking new version.Now I got the Font size to my desired size.Have you implemented the workabilty of Call Recording in this Update?Also one more thing remains - provision for a separate wallpaper in the LOCKSCREEN.

Once again a lot of appreciation for the hard work.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Biftor:
your welcome

about call recording no nothings yet now!

and about "a separate wallpaper in the LOCKSCREEN"whats your mean?can you explain?already we have lockscreen wallpaper

you can pick lockscreen wall from my rom control
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Thank you Armin.By separate wallpaper for lockscreen I had meant to set a wallpaper for lockscreen alone and another one for homescreen.I hadn't noticed that there is provision for this in Rome Control.Now seeing your reply I could set separate wallpapers for lock and home screens.

And for working call recording built in the rom itself,I shall wait till it is achieved.Hope that you would be successful for that without difficulty.

Thanks once again for your kind assistance and great work.

Persistent issues

I am experiencing 2 persistent issues in the previous and the present versions of this ROM .They are

1.I have made default phone ringtones and notification ringtones from the sound files of the folder MEDIA/AUDIO/RINGTONES &NOTIFICATIONS stored in ExtSdCard.Whenever I reboot the phone these default ringtones and notification sounds are changed to unknown and no sounds are heard if a call or message comes.I have select these respective sounds again after each reboot.

2.This issue is connected with the Bitfor Rom Control apk.In this apk I have opened /General UI/Quick Launch Shortcut/Statusbar Shortcuts Config and selected several apks from the system and downloaded ones from Playstore.They both function correctly until I reboot or switch off the phone.After reboot the downloaded apks in the statusbar shortcut appear as circles with an 'x'mark inside. I cannot identify them.But they function correctly when I press them.So I have to go to Bitfor Rom Control and choose the Statusbar shortcut each time to remove any one of the downloaded apk and reinstate the same in order to come back all the icons in the statusbar shortcut.Please note that by removing any one of the downloaded apks and reinstaing it all the apks also get the original icon again.

Is there a fix for these issues?If it is possible this ROM would be 100% perfect.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Biftor:
about first

i suggest to u move your audio to system/media not sd

about second

thats interesting i never get some things same

always i have my statusbar shortcuts from system app and installed app

you can see in all my screen shots and video i am using always.

can you take screen shot i should see

because this is some things interesting thats my coding tested many time

Making the thread LIVE again

Hello dear Armin,it seems this thread is almost dead.No posts are seen since a week.Or,is it simply because of the fact that this ROM is purely bugfree and the users are fully contended?If that is the case,you can be prouder than all other Developers in xda.Warm qudos to you,Armin.

.However I am going to make this thread live again.I hope you are still aware of my request and your promise regarding the making of Call Recording as an actually working inbuilt feature of this ROM. 2 days before AOSB has released their latest 1.3.7 ROM.In it's changelog I read about making Call Recording feature active in it.I don't know whether it is active in that ROM however.So may I expect a favourable response from you?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] lgil25:
Mind if I ask why you have such an obsession for call recording? You've been asking a lot about it...

I know everybody has their reasons for wanting something, but still, is call recording really that important?
