Hey everyone! Just wanted to get a thread going with all the current modems to try out with your epic! Everyone's phone handles each modem differently so test them out and find out which one works best for you! For those that dont know, a modem effects 3g and 4g speeds as well as the cell signal of your phone handling phone calls and text messages (the bars ;) ).

I did get this idea from Marcusant... I just have all four uploaded already so I figured I'd put this in a thread for everyone to be able to reference to!

I know for me, the EE03 ROM broke GPS and I couldn't get it to work at all. Then, I tried using just the modem & GPS still didn't work. I get so much better reception & 3G/4G speeds with that modem but my GPS didn't work. Any ideas on how I could fix it. I'm some what of a noob. I know how to flash different things & I know how to ODIN stuff... but not too much more.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Big thanks for this. Will make it way easier. I'm going to have a brash assumption here...once the GB drops and we have an available modem, will you post that up in the OP as well? Kind of like a running 'total' of sorts?

That would be magical...like unicorn magical.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjben:
Thanks. I had been looking around for modems other than the ec05, which was easy to find. I even tried making my own files, but apparently Windows cannot add to or delete content from .tar files.

[Epic 4G Android Development] divxrippimp:
I had to ODIN the stock tar for EC05

Then I booted, used gps status, reset a-gps, downloaded gps data and waited for a good lock (5-10 min)

then I flashed JUST the EE03 modem, booted and did all of the above again, THEN i flashed the rom i wanted to use, booted and did all of the above once more.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Curious as to why this hasn't been stickied yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
I have two questions I think I know the answedrs to but would like to ask.

1) are modems independant of sw version? In otherwords, can you flash di18 on a froyo setup, or a froyo modem on a gb rom. I think it doesn't matter but I have not heard of anyone flashing an eclair modem after they went to froyo.

2) I would love a way to capture imperical data (logging, maybe gps data) on how eafch works so I could make a call that is based on evidence rather than observation. I posted this and someone sugg3ested logcat....but I do not think it is the right tool for the job. Speedtest was also suggested but that is only a part of what is measured. Free is best cause I am cheap.

3) (yes I have a third now) I assume modems will affect wifi signal and gps reciept as well.is this true.

Great thread (and videos of fricking everything epic). Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I think Impaler is the only mod, and I haven't seen a post from him in seemingly a month, but I know it hasn't been quite that long.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
To be honest, I have not seen anyone try the Di18 modem on a froyo setup. Not sure if that will work. But you can use any froyo modem on the current gingerbread leak.

As for capturing how well gps locks... You can try and stand in the same spot and run it a few times and see how fast it locks and get gps status from the market and see how many feet it locks you within.

Modem's will effect wifi and gps, that's why you can just do a speed test in the same spot to test. Do multiple to get accurate tests.

Thanks :)

So, Im not sure if this is the right area to ask this, but so far no one else has responded and Im quite unsure as to whats going on...

About 2 weeks of having EF02 I'm noticing that when doing anything data intensive (tethering, youtube, uploads) on my phone, I simply do not receive phone calls or text messages. I have sat right next to my phone and called/texted from another, and nothing on my Epic shows up, even after the data use is done. I have to be at little to no data use to receive.

Does this sound like an issue with the modem? Or should I be looking for another issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Anyone know if updating the modem to EF10 fixes the modem crashing that the EF02 modem experiences?

Thanks for the support guys.. I really appreciate it :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jackal424:
okay guys, dont jump on me at once....i did search thread for similiar issue...

I flashed the EF02, once I did that I got the update software request to EF10, did that. Once I did that, it asked again to update from EF10 to EF02.....not too worried yet, just ignored it.....but wait, this is not my problem.....

here starts my problem...

so ignoring the continuous popup at every powerup...i continue to have crazy battery drain (by noon i'm down to 30%, with little or no use) despite using various calibration methods....fingers point to this new GB rom....so I odin back to stock EC05....power up....and bam..i still get this update software from EF02 to EF10....it keeps thinking I have EF02 (GB) eventhough I now have EC05 (FROYO)..

anyone else run into this? should I be flashing a EC05 modem eventhough I odin'd stock EC05 and it actually says EC05 in software info?

EDIT: nevermind, sorry. i didnt read the linked thread completely. To get rid of message on EC05, I have to flash the EC05 modem again, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15178973&postcount=11. However, I do believe battery drain is a continuous issue after I flashed EF02 once. Weird, wonder why battery drain increased after one install of EF02 even after going back to EC05.
[Epic 4G Android Development] counterfeit187:
Also, after the reboot when it starts doing that "reporting update status" and "checking for updates" hit the Back button, and Cancel if you get a popup... the notification will not pop up again unless you manually go to the Settings menu and check for updates.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheRob44:
...

I have some strange side effects from flashing modems, it seems. I updated from DK28 to EF02 by way of CWM and everything was good. I flashed the EF02 modem on here to try and improve speed/battery, but flashing it seemed to have ruined some data transfer capabilities. Now, with any modem (I also tried EE03 and I went back to DK28), the 4G only sometimes works. Sometimes it gives a network error (certain times on the speedtest.net app), sometimes it works fine (skype), and then sometimes it does very weird things (stock internet browser). On the browser, if I'm on 4G and request a site, it won't be able to find it. If I then switch to 3G, click on the same site, begin to load it, stop the browser, switch back to 4G, and then reload the page, it works. It's almost like the DNS server isn't feeding the IP addresses to the phone correctly in 4G, but if the phone already knows the IP of the remote server by way of the 3G connection attempt, it will work in 4G. This is crazy. Any ideas?

Thanks,

okay so I"m back. flashing modem didnt do anything, the update message still pops up.

I'm tried different ROMS, different modems, and also kernels....somehow after I went GB, this update reminder always comes up even if I switch back to FROYO...whats the deal? Anyone think this can eat up my battery?

No what rom and kernel are you running.

modem choice

How is it possible for my phone to respond different than yours if we use the same modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Very good question lol. Depends on where you are, and hardware can have inconsistency's.
[Epic 4G Android Development] twyster:
In my case, EF10 is working much better, due in part to the server it goes through. EC05 and EF02 went through Dallas. EF10 is going through Little Rock. My speeds have greatly increased and my ping has greatly decreased due to this. If I lived closer to Dallas, EF10 might not go through Little Rock, and my speeds might be slower.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Oh so it depends where your location is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KiloJKilo:
I'm currently on CWM3 with ViperRom for Trinity 2.0 that had the DK28 designation. I installed the DK28 stock rom via odin to use VRT2.0. I'm interested in using other roms not designed for DK28. If I were to flash for example, the EC05 modem using odin as described in this thread in order to use roms designed for EC05, will that render my ViperRom useless?
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
No it shouldn't touch the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KiloJKilo:
Thank you for your answer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Is EE03 a more stable modem & can it be used with most of the roms out there
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Yes it's stable, and yes it can.

Trying to install the command to stop the pop up update to EF10 but its saying command not found. Worked for me before, I don't know why its not working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sturmie:
Uh, I think I screwed up. I used Odin to flash the EF02 modem, but I manually set the PIT to victory_8G_100528.pit and now the phone won't even turn on...what can I do now?
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Reflash the rom without wiping... if that doesn't work, wipe everything 3X each and re flash the rom. If that doesn't work, odin back to stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sturmie:
It won't even power on...not holding down the power button, not holding down 1 + power, nothing...I even pulled the battery and put it back...nada.

EDIT: Of course, after I post that, it DID turn back on...phew.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Qb I'm trying to use terminal emulator to see if I have journaling on but it keep saying permission denied. I need help lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Are you sure you typed "su"?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Yup that's mandatory
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Check another app and make sure you still have superuser permissions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
I do cause was using setcpu & cpuspy. I used the su -c ash & it granted me superuser permission
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Check in the superuser app and make sure terminal emulator isn't blocked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sturmie:
Actually, I was mistaken...I got it to boot one time using the power + 1 button, but nothing since...any thoughts? When I connect a power source or USB via PC, I get no lights or anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated...thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
You're going to have to odin to stock. Try taking out the Micro sd card and booting into download mode (hold 1 and power button) Then run odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sturmie:
microSD card is out, but I still can't get it to power on at all (power + 1 button, regular power on, etc.). The whole reason I even tried flashing the modem is because I was running Bonsai 4.1.1 and wanted to update to 4.1.3...I was having problems with the battery life (I'd have 90%, reboot and then be down to 50%, reboot again and be back up to 70%...weird)...so, figured it was a good time to do the modem as well. After the Odin flash of EF02, the Epic was SUPPOSED to reset, but simply powered down...it came back on once (that one time I mentioned above using power + 1), but nothing since. I should have Odin'ed back to stock then, but I thought "Hey, it's working now, why not wipe and flash 4.1.3"...not the best idea, in retrospect.

EDIT: From what I've been reading, my Epic might have been on its last legs and finally kicked the bucket...oh well, that's what the $4 insurance plan is for I guess.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Try taking out the battery for a good 2 minutes, press the power button a few times with the battery out and try again.

Yep there was, but that modem made EVERYONES phone worse. Connection and 3g/4g speed wise.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
I still have superuser permission & its not blocked. Weird huh. Im not the only one having this problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sturmie:
Thanks, but I took it to the Sprint store today...dead, dead, dead...they gave me a brand new one :).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Qb any reason why you may think the command for journaling on isn't working on terminal emulator
[Epic 4G Android Development] BoominSVX:
Did you ever try pressing the hardware reset button to see if it was capable of redemption. I have fears of odin every time I use it, but I heard that gets you back into the downloading screen with the 1+power after you press it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
I honestly don't know. Link me to where you are getting the CMD prompt you are typing in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
This is where I got the command from
[Epic 4G Android Development] wakkigy:

[Epic 4G Android Development] caaznkid:
howcome when I try to flash the EG22 modem it fails but it works with the other modems? Is it because I am not on GB?

edit: Ok still can't flash eg22, but I can flash ef02, but for some reason when I boot up it keeps saying stuff like "google framework services has stopped unexpectedly" and "messaging has stopped unexpectedly" did something become corrupt during the process? Okay flashed back to ec05 and still same story. Figured out that my contacts and my messenger is broken...not sure how to fix this. It'd be great if somebody could chime in and help me. Thanks.

Ok I wiped dalvik cache and fixed permissions in recovery and that fixed it. If anybody has the same problem as me then just look at this post...lol. I'm so fail.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bnguyen1983:
So far works fine for me. No FCs with Syndicate 1.2. I think your problem has to do with a ROM corruption as it happened to me before. Use journaling.

Also after testing, 3G speeds and 4G connectivity still sucks and no modem can really fix that IMO. Sprint is just so ****ty. My 4G speeds are as fast as ATT's 3G speeds woo.. =/
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:

I was getting great connections but battery drain with the new modem and SRF 1.2. Switched back to EE03.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
That's too bad.

EE03 is an awesome modem for battery life, I get up to 24 hours of battery with 4 hours of screen on time with the stock battery.

Hopefully with the final release they will be able to meet/surpass it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
I think they have the signal strength fix written in or optimizations that are making it search for signal more. 4g speed was blinding even in areas where I haven't gotten signal before, but the battery would drain hard when I used it.

Question about video tutorials

I have an honest question... and please don't take it wrong, I'm not trying to be a smart arse because everyone should be happy for any free assistance they get regardless of how it is delivered... BUT

Why has it gotten so popular to do a video tutorial when textual instructions are so much more concise and to the point and much much less likely to be misunderstood. In alot of cases you can even copy and paste commands which makes it a million times better and less likely for error. Rather than stopping rewinding to see every little thing someone does in a video.

Just Odined the EG22 modem a half hour ago. So far, very good. Fastest gps locks I've seen so far. Like 3 seconds to a solid lock both in the compass and google maps. 4G connection seems fast and solid as well. Looking forward to see if there's a change in Sprint reception at work (have always had to use roam all the time there, it's a Sprint black hole). Will see how the battery usage is as the day goes on.

Thanks for this new modem!
[Epic 4G Android Development] caaznkid:
Hey, thanks for the response. I am also on Syndicate 1.2. Does it have journaling enabled? Also, if what you say is true, that my ROM is corrupted. Should I wipe, reflash the ROM, and then try flashing the modem? Or do I just have to enable journaling and that should solve my problem?

So, I am officially a believer in the crappiness of the Samsung cable, never had issues with it on my laptop, odin (and my computer), a desktop with 10 ports, only recognize it on one port and odin would hang on flashing the modem, fast forward to blackberry cable from a bold (which I don't own) and 26 second flash.
