I just spent about the last hour testing different modems while running EF02.

I Odin modems EC05,EE03,EB13 and then Odin back to EF02 because they all are roughly the same for me. Lousy 3g! (under 250/300kbps)on all of them, testing each multiple times. Its got to be my location? In the next 24 hours I'm gonna go and park next to a tower and do a speed test, just to see what happens. Oh and i still got the EF10 OTA at about 11:50pm ET 6/19

My results:

EC05

1.22 / 0.35

1.18 / 0.32

1.14 / 0.34

-91 dBm

EF02

1.20 / 0.45

1.10 / 0.37

1.15 / 0.41

-91 dBm

Not much difference in my area I guess.

With the EF02 rom / EC05 modem, battery drain was pretty bad, something in the range of 5% per hour on wifi.. Hopefully the EF02 modem fares better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stkiswr:
Today my wife is testing ef02 Rom and modem for me. She made it exactly 4 hours on a full charge yesterday w the ec05 modem...Ewww

Edit: 2 hours in and her phone is still holding up nicely. Will post up at end of day and let y'all know buuuut so far It's good. Yesterday was miserable on ec05 modem. -25% per hr on light use.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stkiswr:
Looks like the problem is fixed. She made it past 4 hours haha. Finally she's pretty happy w the phone...really hope it holds up this time...sensitive ass Samsung
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
I just installed the EF02 modem and then got the EF10 update. So, it hasn't been pulled.

Edit: I have not flashed all of EF02 yet just the modem itself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stkiswr:
Last update. Battery drain was solved. I didn't have gps on and no WiFi so it was 3g in a pretty cruddy area all day...I'm happy w these results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
You're on the EF02 modem, right? What'd you do exactly to get such great battery life? I'm just curious because I'm hearing mixed results. I haven't Odined the EF02 modem yet. Just wanna hear your thoughts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
That is pretty impressive.

With Froyo I was lucky to get 8 hours on 3g. Do you know what the display on time was?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fangs87:
Im on the ef10 modem been like 10 hours unpluged and im still @ 90%, not very heavy usage though. checked my bank account, texted a few times and called someone for about 20 minutes, ran about 9 speed tests accross 3g, 4g, and wifi. its normal usage for me though and i would usually be at 50% after all that so its doing better by me :).
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
So it seems like some people are better with EF02 modem, others with EF10. Well, good thing is I can always try EF02 first, then upgrade to EF10 if it doesn't work well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fangs87:
At the moment it also seems the EF02 modem wants you to upgrade to the EF10, and the EF10 wants you to go to the EF02, so currently you can just keep switching, my EF10 tels me to switch back th the EF02 every time i power on
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
You can disable that I think. PM marcusant and he'll tell you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] quickstang:
You can freeze it under Titanium backup Pro. Just scroll to System updates (mine says 1.0.0 & has the green check mark as the icon) tap it and hit freeze. :)

After a couple days on ef10, I have found I for some reason can't keep my phone from screwing up eventually and necessitating a reflash of modem. Now back on ee03.
[Epic 4G Android Development] quickstang:
Can someone tell me where the EF10 modem is? I had downloaded from below yesterday, but it's only the EF02 modem as you can see from the link. I want to try the EF10 modem to compare it to the other.

[Epic 4G Android Development] sevenvt:
That upload was bad, no flashable version is out there yet, you have to do the over the air update, from firmware.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stkiswr:
Yeah. I was on ec05 modem and got terrible battery life. Like 4.5 hours and it fully died. My wife hardly used it...terrible. so all I did was odining the ef02 modem and put a full charge on it. As u can see from the blue lines it was used off and on all day. In the signal area the green lines represent great coverage and the yellow is fair coverage. The phone was in a fair area all day. She Facebook's, light web browsing, 20 o 30 texts sent 15 mms pics to me of screen shots lol. I am very satisfied because I have owned this phone since release. Tried many many roms that wound up within weeks having something act crazy. Wound up unrooting and completely odin to ec05. I rooted without a pc following a guide on xda. Flashed a deodexed ef02 and ginger animations. Then odining the ef02 modem. It works very well for us. A little lag here and there but the davlik is set to 96m and as an EVO owner I am not used to seeing that. Might try dropping it down to 48 but the wife's happy and so am I. Hope this helps other guys not so happy with their epic. I also in terminal blocked any and all updates from Samsung and turned gps and WiFi off when she left for work. We have WiFi at the house and on 12m cox I believe 25+ hours would be easy

BTW, yes, she was ready to trade for an EVO and admitted she likes my EVO better, but Damn Samsung has a nice camera. Mine takes terrible low light photos and her epic shoots excellent HD video and takes good all round photos. We are going to keep the epic because of this Rom now. I'm still keeping my EVO tho, I run a kingdom Rom and really like what I have. Both are very very nice phones, the epic just lacks the support the evo does.

when trying to update from ef02 to ef10 i get an error while it searches for firmware update? im on Syndicate rom 1.2 and efo2 :( any ideas
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Good evening all. Currently running SFR 1.2 w/twilight Kernel on the EC05 modem. Any recommendations for which modem to flash to really get the most out of my device? THANKS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Alright, well I flashed the EF02 modem and so far it seems good. Made a call and a few texts (within 10 minutes) and not a single percent went down. Also, haven't gotten a time without signal yet in the battery use. Hopefully, I won't have any problems with the phone not working over time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] quickstang:
You're just going to have to test what works best. I have been testing the EF02, but I am not so sure it is better than the EC05 one. I do seem to have the problem of the wifi and then 3G deal that noobnl was talking about. I am also trying to see at work if the signal is worse on this modem or not. I will be Odin'ing EC05 again and testing out my signal strength tomorrow. I have a feeling that EF02 is worse.

Someone even thought an older modem was the best if you search the general section. I think the EB13 one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sevenvt:
Perhaps and just perhaps, that since you are running an EC Froyo rom, and the modems ee03, ef02 and ef10 are related gingerbread releases (not even releases but LEAKS at that,) that the firmware update isn't available to you. Try a gingerbread rom, see how it works then.

Perhaps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Thanks much....
[Epic 4G Android Development] blazinazn:
Just thought I'd post my results...

I'm on EC05 ROM with Dstars clean custom kernel and the latest PRL update (01120)

Odin'd EF02 modem and then updated to EF10 through firmware update.

The top 3 results in the screenshot are EF10 modem on 3G

The next 3 results are EF02 on 3G

The bottom is EC05 on 3G

i just flashed ef02 and i have no 3g flashed to the ef10 no data and then i tried ee03 no data any ideas anyone and also wifi connect but will not connect fully
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Your phone just might not play well with these modems. Try toggling airplane mode or rebooting after flashing a modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Duratime:
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere on this site that you cannot successfully OTA the EF10 update if your deodexed. I am deodexed, and it fails every time I try the OTA.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blazinazn:
i'm on an EC05 deodexed ROM and it worked for me...
[Epic 4G Android Development] xbiker321:
Just tested every single modem on here including the EF02 and EF10.

Tested in the same spot, every time, sitting on my desk with nothing around the phone. Frozen ROM 1.2 and Genocide 1.1 FINAL kernel. Also tested the EF02 and EF10 with Twilight 1.1.0 kernel just to see if that might make a difference, it didn't.

I have poor signal in my apartment, usually between 2-3 bars. Every modem was consistent with the 2-3 bars, nothing really changed.

I used the speedtest.net app to run a couple times on each modem. I noticed speed tests were inconsistent every time, even with the same modem but were generally in the same range though. The only modem that stood out was the DK28, this modem was much slower than the rest.

So in conclusion, I personally don't think worrying about what modem you have really matters too much. To each his own. :cool:

wen i download the ef02 and ef10 link it just let me download the ef02 modem.. how come?
[Epic 4G Android Development] vwags:
Would it be a fair test of the different modems to look at Cell Standby %? Since I go to the same places daily it seems like it might be another data point in trying to see which modem my phone likes best.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stkiswr:
It does matter on my wife's epic, 4 hours w hardly any use and it died with ef02 Rom and ec05 modem. Flashed a ef02 modem and block Samsung updates and turned off gps...she made it 12 hours today then it turned red, beeped at 14 hours. Lots of calls today.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RSPC:
Well over the last 2 days i managed to do some distance testing running EF02 with the EF02 modem. Seems like it is a location issue for me. 0 to 2 bars at the house and crappy 3g speeds like I said above. While driving around town I checked in 4 different places(miles apart) and when I got between 5and6 bars did speed test and got around 1mb down and 500kbps up. Went back home and slow like before.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xbiker321:
Yeah I'm sticking with the EF02 modem as well (with Frozen ROM). I used the EC05 modem with the Simply AOSP ROM and I could get 24+ hours with that combo, best battery life combo I've ever seen. Sadly I would just get FC's after a week or two of use :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
I'm on frozen 1.1 and the standard kernel that comes with it. How do you feel about frozen 1.2 and genocide 1.1? Is it worh it to at least change my kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xbiker321:
I prefer SetCPU to Voltage Control and the new kernel 1.1 Final allowed me to have voltage control built into SetCPU so that made me VERY happy. Other than that I think the battery life is a little bit better.

In a way... Problem is cell signal can be different day by day. It also depends on the location you are at. If everything stays somewhat consistent it can be a good test.

Can I use the EC05 modem on a gingerbread ROM? The EF02 3g speeds are good, but it keeps intermittently crapping out on me, and I get like no 3g...and I can't update to EF10 for some reason.

[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Checked out the EF02 and EF10 modems. The EF10 did not have good data speeds for me. The EF02 was really pretty good on data speeds. The downside was my battery started to drain VERY fast. I went back to EE03, but can't get the battery life back. I have always got great battery life with EE03. I lost about 2% an hour on EE03 before, now after coming back to EE03 it is about 7% an hour.

Any ideas why this would not work like before.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beno*:
Similar experience... was on EE03 getting great battery life, like losing less than 2% per hour with light use. Odin'd EF02, ran that for a while, but my battery life dropped horribly. Did the OTA to EF10 and battery was better but I was still losing 3% per hour with NO use. Went back to EC05 just to try it out and was not getting GPS locks in reasonable amount of time, like 5-10 minutes or more. Now I'm back to EE03 and dropping about 2% per hour with little use and I get GPS lock inside a minute. I wish there was just a 'best' modem for everything. You'd think these phones were all hand made, being they all seem to be slightly different in what they 'like' and 'dislike'... oh well, keeps us geeks busy. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] familymedia:
thomasskull666, How the heck does one get DL speeds of over 50MB/sec as indicated in your banner signature???? What modem are you using, and where are you located? I never got higher than 9MB/sec.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Lmao no way my phone could do that, that's my desktop with the charter 60mb/s package. Expensive, but sick :-)

Also if you take a look at my ping time, it looks as though there's some kind of fluke, 200ms is pretty slow comparatively. I am in St. Louis and the server I ran the test from is in Springfield so definitely not very close which accounts for the ping delay.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Is there a kernel for EF02 stock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Yes there is, it is the zImage inside of the EF02 .tar. It isn't in a flashable format, the easiest thing to do would be to take the Genocide .zip and replace the zImage inside with the EF02 one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Is the benchmark faster?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjben:
Just wanted to toss in here that I have been on EE03 ever since the ACS leak, and it's been getting worse as time goes on.

It's been disconnecting, particularly as I hit the send button in apps. Sometimes will not connect at all on wifi or 4g. Sometimes shows as being connected but will not function- no data transfer.

I keep meaning to go back to EC05, just never get around to it. Running the latest SFR with genocide.

**Updated*

I switched back to the EC05 modem and found that my data no longer worked on wifi. Tried Odin again, same results- a successful Odin, but no data transfer on wifi though it did show as being connected.

After trying a few random things I noticed that my PC had the same problem- no connection problem, but no internet. I restarted the PC and now both work again.

Strange. It had to have been a problem with my router. Epic on wifi and PC on a hard wire, neither one worked after using Odin. Restarted the PC (not the router) and now they both work fine. IP conflict?

I'm just glad that I didn't add another post to the thread complaining "...I flashed the modem and now nothing works, need help!" and that I was able to figure it out by taking some time and working on it BEFORE posting.

Furthermore, changing the modem did not fix my problem. Is still behaves badly.
