What's the command to disable the notification that keeps popping up for the EF02 to EF10 update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Getting improved speeds, FB15modem + ShadowKernel_v0.5.0, on CM9a5...........the nearby tower must really like this modem, lol ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] amw1972:
ok...want to verify and NOT brick my wife's phone...

I can push EL30 modem using ODIN directly onto my wife's epic currently running EC05 modem and not have an issue??

what's this that I have to step up to EI22 then to EL30??

Please clarify

EDIT: Ok...so I feel like an a** now...the info I needed was only a couple of pages back. Found the time to READ the thread...sorry folks! I got her on EL30 now
[Epic 4G Android Development] mookiemoo:
going from EL30 to FB15??? Is it worth it???

YES! I live in a suburb of Atlanta where I usually get a weak signal from Sprint. On CM9, it appears as no bars to sometimes 2, if i am lucky on 3g. I switched to FB15 and on speed test, my speeds went from DL .46 mbs on the average to 1.01mbs. That seemed substantial enough to keep FB15 installed on my epic. Has anyone else had the same results?
[Epic 4G Android Development] PlackSlayer:
Never mind - working on fixing it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] osiris2600:
I was considering trying out the FB15 modem, I'm on CM9 Beta1 with Shadowkernel v0.6.1, and wanted to see if anyone saw an improvement over EL30. I'm mostly interested in the wifi modem ... thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I don't think they really made any changes to the modem but YMMV.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
i;m on the ei22 modem and currently running cm9b1. so can i just go ahead and flash the ei22 -> el20 zip? or do i have to do some temporary bml cwm thing...
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You gotta do the temp bml cwm thing....or just odin the EL30 modem in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
ahh yes the odin. thanks for the quick answer bud
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Yes you will!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fangs87:
mk , thanks didnt know if this was a full rom override or not :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] emontano:
Anyone use the new EF10 or EF02 modems with EE03?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
I haven't but it should work fine. Highly recommend you go with EF02 over EF10.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scoobmd:
So does anyone have an update on how the GPS is working out wiht EF02 or EF10?
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
It works great!
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
I find EF02 is a bit snappier in catching location.
[Epic 4G Android Development] debonairone:
Wow, that is a huge difference... Are you sure both phones were using the same connection... 3g vs 3g or WiFi vs Wifi... That will make for a huge difference as well... Looking forward to your response...
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Yep, same results here. Got a lock immediately after flashing EF02. I don't seem to lose satellite signal that often anymore either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fangs87:
tried to flash ef02 on the ef02 rom, think it might habe bricked my phone ? odin failed and now the phone wont get past a phone n a pc screen with a orange not connected thing in the middle, and my pc wont recognize it anymore
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Pull battery, Use a different usb port and try it again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fangs87:
ok , tried that pc still wont recognize it in downloading mode anymore, tried all the ports. maybe i need a new cable again
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
That would be my suggestion :)

After testing these Modems it is difficult to say which is the best overall. Here are the results of my testing.

OT: Clearly, the Optimus S has a better antenna/radio than our phones.

I'm going to do some further testing on EB13 to see if I can get better results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dja2k:
Thanks for the updated modems! I installed EF02 and then did the update to EF10, but after reboot, why does it tell me there is another update but it tries to revert me back to EF02?

By the way on EF10 3G, I have full bars, Ping 188ms, Download 1525kbps, and Upload 576kbps. I was getting about the same with EF02, but was going from full to about 2 bars where as EF10 is full bars constantly.

[Epic 4G Android Development] debonairone:
I had the exact same issue ,however, I cancelled the secondary update to revert back to EF02... Not sure why it came up with that, but I elected to stay with the later release... At least until I see an issue and then decide to go back to EF02....
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Disabling auto-rotate does not seem to take effect, it will rotate anyway.

And wrong thread.. Doh!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
Any news on a FC09 being available? Interested what might be implemented with the connection optimizer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
The connection optimizer was implemented in the FB15 leak. Darkie has a ROM based on that in Development if you want to check it out before someone gets it in the next 6 weeks of roll out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vampyrex13:
Did anyone else who upgraded to the FB15 modem see a dramatic decrease in battery life? I used the delta flash to upgrade my modem and my battery life went from all day to only a few hours. Also, my phone got really hot that it tripped the thermal charge cutoff. I went and used the Samsung firmware restore .exe to bring my phone back to stock Froyo, then used OTA to bring it back to EL30. My battery life went back to normal. I tried the FB15 modem again, this time using Odin to flash the modem.bin file. Again, battery life dropped to a few hours with an overheating phone.

Sent from my CM9 Epic 4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Did not try FB15 since I don't like leaked modems. Try the FC09 modem since that is the newest official.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Is there a EC05 to FC09 zip ? Or do I have to odin FC09 as a whole?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
There is an EL30 to FC09 zip only. You Odin EL30 then flash the zip. There is a thread by Zanderman112 in General with everything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Thanks, :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
Or just apply the deltas in series till you make your way to FC09...

[Epic 4G Android Development] sumcrazyguy:
Increased battery life

I noticed it too. Thought it was just in my head, but I guess this confirms it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Ditto! After I went back to EL30, the overheating and the battery life issues went away.

was on ei22 then odin'd el22 then did a delta flash of el22 to fc09,but when trying to flash error messages came up and when i reboot, el33 was still there, anyone know why?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Just Odin the FC09 directly. You can't just flash deltas on MTD.
[Epic 4G Android Development] locomariachi:
Trying to Odin the FC09 modem but I'm actually not getting my phone to read, whenever I hook it up to the USB ports (i tried all 3 on my laptop) it gives that "USB Device can perform faster" and odin doesn't see the phone when i boot into the downloading mode either. any tips?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Try a Blackberry cable and you may have to reinstall the drivers.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gmorf33:
how's FC09 working for everyone? Any of the issues seen on the previous leak? (hotter, more battery drain, etc). I just flashed CM9 b2 and was curious about this modem update. I'm still rockin EL30
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I never use leaked modems for just that reason. FC09 seems the same as EL30 to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vampyrex13:
Damn, the FC09 modem also causes overheating and 4-5 hour battery life (if data is enabled). EL30 seems to work fine though.

Sent from my CM9 Epic 4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Did you Odin it in or use the flashable delta? If you didn't odin, try that.

Modem Downrade?

I am on FC19 and I want to revert to FC09 but for some reason odin wont let me just flash the modem.bin file ... any reason why?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
What slot are you putting the modem.bin file in? And it is Odin 1.85 right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] amateurhack:
Ok, sorry in advance for the noob question. I hate when I have to ask...

I'm on cm9. Used the temporary bml cwm to go from ei22 to el30, and then again from el30 to fc09. I'm having weird issues with fc09, so can I use the bml cwm to go back, or do I have to use odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You have to use odin. Try odining in the FC09 modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amateurhack:
Great. Something new to try. Guess I'll have to wait until the weekend.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Qbkung77 has a video on youtube for it.

I'm not scared, just really careful. It's just part of my personality. Plus, I really love my epic, and would be devastated to brick it, so I'm motivated.

This is a just a little more complex than it was on webos, so the learning curve is a little steep, and I don't have a lot of time.

I will be in touch if I have trouble. Good news is that my phone still works. I just have to restart every tv show I watch on playon 3 or 4 times to get through all of it, and frequently have to hit refresh in the browser more often than normal. Annoying, but not critical.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Where is the link to FC09?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
And if theres one is it for odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yes and yes. Clink link in OP. It takes you to ACS website to download modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
Can anyone PLEASE help me out. I tried to Odin the FC09 modem from the list on the first page and it gave me a FAIL and now my phone won't boot. It stays on a screen that shows a cell phone and a computer next to it connected by dots and an exclamation point! OUCH! What did I do and how do I fix the problem????

Any idea what I need to do???
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Sounds like a bad cable. Grab a Blackberry cable, go into the roll up sticky thread in the stickies and follow the instructions for How to restore a semi-bricked Epic thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
WHEW!!! Thanks for the response. My cable was used originally to Odin ACS and such to the phone but seems to have gone bad now. I ran into the IT guy's office, stole his cable and reflashed the FC09 modem and it passed!

I now show I am running FC09, but still get that damn update notification!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
That's because you just changed the modem that has nothing to do with the firmware and rom. It's still looking to update the system.

Sent from a phone...
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
That's because modem has nothing to do with it. As mentioned dozens of times in all the EL30 ROM threads, you have to edit the Build.prop.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
My bad. By flashing the updated SleeperROM, the notification went away. Sorry about that, but thanks for helping me out!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It would go away flashing any FC09 ROM. Or if staying on CleanGB editing the build.prop or flashing the file in Flastnoles11's thread in General.

Running SRF 1.1.1 with the EF10 modem and using the 3500mah extended battery or whatever its called... my battery life was amazing with the EC05 Modem... should I be getting similar results with the EF10 modem?

Another thing: whenever I reboot, it always asks about installing an update to go from EF10 to EF02... is there a way to stop that from coming up every time?

Other than those questions, it runs perfectly fine and it seems a little more efficient than the EC05 modem was... didn't test the GPS yet though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shiftr182:
Battery life for me is great.

To stop the update thing go to terminal and type:

[Epic 4G Android Development] pre2epic4g:
major reception increase

while at home I went from 3 to 5 bars on 3g and from 1 to 2 bars when on 4g with ef10. wow this is the best modem to date!

bonsai 4.1.1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I was getting 3m GPS lock on EC05 and 50m on EF02. I want to make the jump to gingerbread but my EC05 Urban Fury 2.0 setup is perfect. Is anyone getting better than a 50m GPS lock on EF02?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sevenvt:
I was getting a 30m "lock" on EE03, I say lock because arguably it put me on the wrong side of the creek... and outside of their 30M estimate.

Edit: In secondary testing I believe the 30m lock I was receiving on ee03 was actually a result of either wifi or tower assistance. EF10 is actually getting a gps lock.

EF10 I am getting a 10m lock reliably, and in the right location.

edit: 2 sat lock, 8 in the sky

In other news, I see no big difference between EF10 and EE03 in signal. Where EE03 reliably got 1 bar in my current location, EF10 gets 0-2 bars sporadically. I consider that a null change if anything.

Similar results with speedtest over 3G, though I may actually be getting slightly faster on EF10, I'm not yet willing to believe the change in speed is indicative of the modem.

Much thanks to the OP for the modem.

Noobies should benefit greatly (and thank the op in turn) for such a youtube video. I know when I started my odin journey oh so long ago, a few well thought out videos would have been useful in many circumstances.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Ok, I am getting similar results then. My "lock" wasn't really locked either. It was 2 satellites as well compared to 4 and a quick actual "lock" on EC05. Looks like I need to stay awake awhile and test EF10 next...

[Epic 4G Android Development] shiftr182:
EF10 hasnt been posted. The only way to get EF10 is to flash the EF02 modem(no matter what rom you are on) and upgrade the firmware. When you upgrade the firmware it will install the EF10 modem only. After you reboot, it will tell you that a firmware upgrade is available, if you choose to upgrade, it will reinstall EF02....

If you dont want to deal with it constantly asking you if you want to upgrade, go to terminal and type:

When I go to update the firmware to the EF10 modem after I click install the phone reboots right away and will not install anything.
