I found it overly reliable. It drew extra power and turned it into extra signal. I wasn't looking for an over-achiever. It was a bit much, unfortunately. I was impressed with its efforts, though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
ive had horrible results with ef02 and esp ef10,

ive been running srf1.2 with the version modem and been happy.

phone is a beast, never lags, but im getting tired and wanna play.

signal is ok,

with ef02/ef10 id notice times where id have no signal for a period of time then all of a sudden 4 bars, also had horrible battery life with any GB rom, ill have to decide, atleast i can nandroid back....

Running EG22 modem with Bonsai 4.1.3...was running EC05 before. I am getting better signal..more bars, GPS locks quick..Speedtest not as good as EC05..going to run a while longer...overall seems to be good..at least getting closer to a release quality modem.

I got same results, but is it costing you battery life, too?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xxDRKAxx:
Im getting about 20 hours easy on that modem with standard battery, if my battery lasts all day thats good enough for me because i charge it every night
[Epic 4G Android Development] VAnative21:
So I'm guessin EG22 is the best modem out right now since signal + GPS is good? Or which 1 is better? I''m runnin EG22 and finna flash a modem once I find out which 1 is better outta EF02, EE03 or EG22 modems...
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Tell me how your battery life is on EF02. I'm on it right now (don't have a PC to upgrade my modem to EG22 yet).

It's pretty bad for me, but I'm curious to know if others get similar results so I know if it's my modem that is causing bad battery life or a bad flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VAnative21:
For me it's kinda bad to... when charging it makes it overheat and I have an extended battery and it lasts barely 1 day... that's when I'm runnin EF02 modem, that's why I'm curious about EG22 because EF02 ain't the modem for me if I have an extended battery and it constantly overheats and barely lasts a day....

At least for me during all of my testing so far the best modem on SFR 1.2 is this in exact order

1. EG22

2. EE03

3. EF02
[Epic 4G Android Development] SpicyBurrito:
With the Bamboozle 1.0 ROM and the EF02 modem, my battery would drain 30% overnight. With the EG22 modem, it drained 6%. I'm very ok with this. Signal seems to be better too. Haven't tried GPS or a speedtest yet.

[Epic 4G Android Development] xxDRKAxx:
I would Def. recommend going to the EG22 modem
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Just wanted to throw it out there for those of us with Epics running on boost's service instead of Sprint... swapping to ANY of these modems will not jack up your service. I did not try DK28 and no idea why anyone would want to but I ran through all the other 2.2 modems to see if I could get any faster data rates and they all worked without a hitch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
Seems I'm a bit late here, but I've been keeping a little collection of modems as well.

Here's the link, I try to keep it up to date.

Feel free to add it to the OP.

Note: I don't keep them in tars, just the native *.bin format for easy use with Heimdall.
[Epic 4G Android Development] unxguyjr:
I have tried the different modems...EF02/EF10 gave me good battery life but would cause my phone to get hot at different times and had connection issues. EE03 gave me poor connection/speed...so I went back to EC05...was the best out at the time for me.

I have tried EG22 currently using...did not have the heating issues service signal has been better and have had the best battery life to date. Using Bonsai 4.1.3 stock battery 22+ hrs mod. use with 40+ battery left.

[Epic 4G Android Development] warrenis1234:
i definitely tried it because xxDRKAxx told me too, and it seems to be better for me when auto sync is on. i have literally 0 apps that auto sync except for the google apps, so i guess gmail and gtalk doesnt suck as much batter as they did? who knows

i can now leave auto sync and 3g on all day when before it would only last 10 or so hours.

i see no obvious problems though, and i never have big battery drops overnight, but then again i turn everything off at night

I havent had any problems and so far and ive been using it for more than a week.

Say If i just have my phone sitting there for about 3 hours untouched the battery percent will only go down by around one percent.

other example is yesterday i listened to music for 5 hours straight and my battery only went down 8 percent.

here is a picture of my battery my phone has been unplugged and used all day and it is only at 70%

[Epic 4G Android Development] xxDRKAxx:
Try the EG22 modem it is the best of both worlds, you should get better signal and even better 3g speeds

It's been about a week now and I am noticing that my phone comes unpaired with my car about every other day. I didn't change anything except for upgrading the modem to Eg22 so I am assuming that's the culprit. Anybody else suffer a similar bluetooth issue with the newest Modem?

Outdated? Lol this phone is still pretty top of the line. 4g, 4" super amoled, best qwerty out there and stupid easy to root and overclock. LOTS of new phones I would not take for free over my epic...

Anyway, in my experience, its a good idea to have a bootcamp partition on any mac just for situations like this. Not like it takes much space or very much time...

Anyone have any idea as to which modem works best for the Dallas/ Ft. Worth area?
[Epic 4G Android Development] user9991:
Well I guess what I mean is that Samsung lack of updates has proved to be very annoying, also I would hardly consider Sprints 4G speeds (atleast in Boston) to be anything to write home about. Yeah they are lighting fast compared to their 3G speeds, but they are slower than Verizon and ATT (and probably tmo). So yeah its outdated. Anyways I am surprised that a platform that is supposed to be a replacement for iOS, no one has developed a way to flash a rom to the phone on a Mac. Anyways, i guess i'll be stuck on ec05 forever.

Make sure you are putting the eg22w.bin file in the phone slot, not pda, uncheck reset time and hit start. As long as you are in dl mode with a good cable it should work fine.

No, that is on my gingerbread droid x. I put dx on gb in the parenthesis. I am regularly hitting 900-1100 down on the boost epic with eg22 on acs frozen 1.2 froyo. This morning at about 9am I clocked a few 1400s. I clocked the 1500 down on the way in at 7am. I was up at 3am for no good reason trying to force my stupid dx to accept rooted gb and I happened to speedtest it then and got 1800... no lies. Of course early morning you will always get the best speeds. Lunchtime I am getting between 500-800 with spikes and dips. Pretty normal. Waaaayyy better than what it was a week ago tho...

Originally was all nice and good descent battery life when rocking EG22+ with rooted stock rom, GPS wouldn't lock, then installed bamboozled, and battery life sucked again like 30% overnight at least. had the gps fix and it somewhat worked better.

Going to attempt to go back to stock eg22+ to see if battery life improves
[Epic 4G Android Development] bnguyen1983:
EH06.. Ill give it a shot now. I hope its better than EG22. EG22 would go from full bars and drop to zero and back up again over and over.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blazinazn:
Just flashed EH06 on EC05 with a custom kernel. Getting decent up and down but yet to be seen if the signal stays stable.

EDIT: just went outside to test GPS and had 6 sats in use but it took about 20-30 seconds to find my location. It is overcast today so that may have something to do with it but on EG22 it locked on in under 10 seconds
[Epic 4G Android Development] bgaimur:
Just flashed the EH06 modem, and it completed through odin successfully. The only problem is that my SD-card is now refusing to mount. Attempts to mount sd card in CWM give "error mounting /sdcard!". I even went back to EG22 modem, and still not recognizing it. Anyone have some advice?

Did you leave it in when flashing? As a general rule, I always pull the card out when flashing anything. I did so and didn't have any problems.

I did leave it in. I have another sdcard that I could attempt to mount to check whether it's the slot or the card itself, but anything to attempt to recover functionality?

[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
eh06 is great for me. saw perfect reception in my house where i usually dont get it. Also i recorded the FASTEST EVER speeds on 3g in a Speedtest...over 1200 kbps . highest i've ever gotten was 1000, and i performed about a million speedtests in various places. after flashing eh22 i scored 1100 on the first try and 1200 on the second.

yet to try/test gps.

EDIT:: Tested GPS. 8 out of 8 locks. Accuracy to 4 feet! used for an hour drive..no glitches. beautyfull.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bnguyen1983:
Ive given up on Sprint's ****ty network for good 3G speeds. I just wanted reception that didnt drop and come back up every 10 minutes. Its happened a few times with EH06 but so far its not as often as EG22.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blazinazn:
Experienced the same here. Fewer dropouts so far and pretty decent speeds. It hasn't been a full 24 hours yet though.

And maybe it's just me, but I feel like the signal speed and connection degrades over time. I've tried every modem with my current setup and it will be fine for the first few days but eventually, the data will start dropping, especially when I'm surfing or simply going to the market.

Same here on Sprint network in the Rio Grande Valley, it is just "HORRIBLE" no matter what modem I am on or tricks I do this area has very very slow data speed.

Lets see with the EH06:

Dwn:98k :mad:

Up:50k :mad:

That is just sad :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Honestly I think it is the known Sprint tower upgrade causing all the slow speeds. My service on boost (sprint) went totally to hell two weeks ago and I found out they were upgrading the local tower. When they got done I noticed and am still noticing speeds that often match what I pull from verizon. Pulled 2 megs down late last night. Peak hours speed ranges generally from 400-1000.

Im located in central NJ btw.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unknown Zone:
yea, i am pretty sure it might be due to the upgrade...it has been going on a yr already and I have noticed hit and miss 4g in McAllen/Brownsville/Edinburg Texas so it is a matter of time before the upgrade is finished and are back to normal...lol....xing fingers.

I just tried EH06 on my phone and compared it against Eg22 on the wifey's phone. I live outside of Corpus Christi and my wife's phone with EG22 was showing 2-3 more bars than me(EH06) all day long, even going into Corpus too and Corpus is a 4g area. Guess I am going back to EG22 for now, it seems to be the best for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] radji:
I flashed the EG06 modem only (keeping the EG22 ROM) & it broke 4G and slowed 3G to a crawl. 4G would connect (LA area), and show 2-3 bars, but the data would always time out. 3G would only get 50-70 Kbps (bits not bytes). I flashed back to EE03 modem & the 3G and 4G worked perfectly again. EE03 has always worked better for me than EF02/EF10 or EG22. With either of the EF or EG modems I would get random resets because the signal would bottom out and the modem would crash. That has not happened on EE03. I flashed it 2 weeks ago and no problems, random reboots, etc. until I flashed EG06. I'm curious to see if EE03 has worked better for others as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:

I have tried both EH06, EG22, and EC05 extensively over the past few weeks.

Battery life, speed, and signal strength are very similar.
