Can someone help me understand the modem? Seems that since I have been putting custom ROMs on my captivate I have been having fits with low signal and dropped calls. I used one of the "modem dances" to try UGKC1 on GR11 because someone reported how well it worked for them.

I get confused because it appears that the default modem in GR11 is a Froyo modem? (according to the modem thread). The UGKC1 is a I9000.

I have used FIrefly, Serendipity and now GR11 and all have given me fits with dropped calls and poor signal. I would really appreciate any hints in direction.

Thank you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerkysh:
Is it ready yet?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twvance:
Changing ROMs will not necessarily affect your reception unless the modem (baseband version in 'about phone') is changed as well. Some ROMs use the same modem, so you won't notice any difference.

If I remember correctly, the person who reported good UGKC1 reception was in the NY area. Different modems respond differently in different areas. For instance, in GA, I got good reception with JL3, and I currently get good reception with JK4 (stock GR-11 modem). However, I tried multiple other modems when I was on Serendipity 4-6.4, and did not get as good of reception as JL3/JK4.

Try to search around for modem reviews from users in your area.

Hope that helps!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayFReaZy:
TouchWiz App sorter used to alphabetize apps, however, after build GR-10 that app no longer works. If you'd like to see your apps listed in alphabetical order, switch to "list" mode in the apps screen. It may not be as visually appealing, but it gets the job done.

GR-12 issues

First of all great work Mikey for all the great roms. I am have been running GR-12 for two days now and love the new rom. I was a big follower on Serendipity and love the new GR series, especially the new email app.

I have a few issues that I have not found a fix for and wanted to check the forum before reflashing.

I am having several fc with TW4 some require battery pull to reboot. Is there a fix for this or should I just reflash? I experienced some TW4 fc's with GR-11 but had to hard boot my phone at least 4 times yesterday.

I use POP email with the new default email app and cannot get the address book to open my contacts. If I start to type the name or email address it usually finds it but would be nice if I could just browse the contacts and select my recepients.

The other thing that I have noticed with all I9000 roms is when using HSPA or 3G to browse the internet I get about a 3 second delay where the progress bar at the top of my browser sits idle about 10% across for the first website that I browse. AFter that or on Wifi it is extremely fast. This is very annoying and just wondering if this is normal for running the I9000 roms on the Captiviate. I have experienced this issues with Serendipity 6.4, GR-11, and GR-12.

Thanks for any help.

I have a quick question, I think I saw the fix to this but never really paid any attention to it, when I go to download an app or browse the web when im on data, there's points where it switches from H to 3G and back to H.

Well after a reflash of GR-12 i still have the issues with force closes and the address book.

I determined the force closes to be something related to an app called Taskos. I was using the 4x4 widget. After removing the widget from my home screen i have not had any force closes.

The delay with browsing seems to related to another widget called Fancy Widget. When accessing the weather website from the widget there is a delay. Still no fix for the address book. Any ideas?

Another thing that i have noticed is with the samsung keyboard. The x9 is horrible. I turn it off but it keeps coming back on. Any fix for this?

Hi,

I'm having a problem with the GR roms, it's related to my Wifi, I know a lot of people have a weak Wifi signal with 2.3, but not in my case.

My issue is that even with a great signal, it seems to work pretty randomly. Sometimes it's fast and all, and sometimes it acts as if I wasn't connected, pages won't load, internet based messaging apps like Whatsapp can't send or receive messages.

When I switch to data everyting is back to normal.

I tried rebooting my router a few times, but I don't think that's the cause as I have my Captivate since december and never experienced this problem before trying 2.3.

Flashing Talon kernel didn't solve the issue, and now I'm back on xcal's 1.2.

Any help ? Thanks.

EDIT: After reflashing the rom, the problem seems to be gone.
