According to the Modem Location map in this forum its should be the JL3 modem.

visit the link http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html on your phone and download the JK4 modem, restart the phone in Recovery mode (volume up and power button at the same time) and then select install from zip, go to your download folder and select the downloaded modem, once its done installing reboot the device and you should now have the JK4 modem installed

Virgin mobile/Bell best Modem in Barrie?

Hi all,

I will be travelling to Canada next month, and I always get myself a pay-as-you-go SIM for Virgin Mobile (owned by Bell, so I'm assuming same network?) I've noticed in the past that I can't get mobile internet coverage when I'm in Barrie (Ontario) and wondering if anyone knows what the best modem to use up there would be.

Thanks in advance.

[Captivate Android Development] bdithug:
This may be a stupid question, as I have flashed a million roms a million times, but never a modem. Would I just flash the modem the same way as a rom? Reboot to recovery, flash and reboot?

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
That's right my friend
[Captivate Android Development] bdithug:
Thank you. Im currently using AOKP JB Milestone 1 but noticed I had much better reception and signal strength with my previous rom. Figured I would try the UGKG3 since Im in southern Ontario before looking into what modem Lanight V6.5 or V8 uses. Currently using UGKC1 and I get no reception whatsoever in my basement.

Many thanks!

That's the modem I use, also I used it in Orlando and work perfect and also the gps.

[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
U can use Odin and put the modem.bin file in the PHONE slot, connect in Download mode and flash it...that is if the cwm.zip is not workin. Make sure u have the correct .zip if u r tryin to flash it through cwm, i.e. some are packaged for CM, MIUI etc. and some for stock.

No wifi

I had just updated to Slim Bean 4.2.1 rom and decided to finally update my modem.

I'm running the I897 Captivate so I downloaded all the modems for the I897 and not a single one worked. I had read the for JB I should install the CM7/ICS modems so I downloaded a few of those and when I boot up the phone I get no signal at all. After I wait a while and reboot the phone I get signal but wifi doesn't work. It constantly says "Turning on wifi" forever.

I'm trying to go back to 3.1.0 and hoping that it will solve the issue. Again, I couldn't use the I897 modems but tried the JK4 modem for ICS/MIUI and I'll see if it works.

Edit: It worked. It's a problem with 4.2.1 it seems.

If she is runnin stock firmware then she needs to stick with a stock modem or she will have issues.

She can try any of these if she is runnin i897 stock firmware...http://soggycashew.weebly.com/i897-modems.html. KK4 of course was the latest official release.

just extract the modem.bin file from the cwm3 zip file and copy it to the /radio folder with a root enabled file manager like x-plore. set permisssions to 755 (owner full access, group and everyone read + execute). then reboot.

or, replace the modem.bin in a recent rom zip that you already flashed and reflash it.

[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
ok dumb question, will this kh3 modem work on a captivate with i9000 bootloaders?
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Bootloaders do not affect modems.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Bootloaders don't really affect modems like stated above. What DOES affect it is IF you are on a i897 based rom then you need a i897 modem. If you are on a i9000 based rom then you need a i9000 based kernel. I think the kernel you mentioned along with MOST others are i9000 based modems, I think there are only 3 or so i897 modems to be used. The i897 modems to do not support the "h" faster upload and download speeds. Most roms in here are i9000 roms ported to the captivate. There are a few like cognition that are i897 based.

Wanted to pass along my experience with KH3 (on CM7)...was using it for several days, got great battery life and decent reception, data. However, for the first time since I've had my Captivate, my wife told me that my phone sounded real scratchy lately. This surprised me, since she usually doesn't even pay attention to this. So, I switched back to JJJV5, called her back, and she said sound quality was much better (no scratch, etc.).

- I'm in the Boston area (south of the city, near Brockton)

- Yes, I flashed the CM7 version of the modem.

JV5 has seemed to be the best one for me, as far as I can tell.

Aside from KH3, I haven't spent much time on the other newer modems (JVR, JW2) -- has anyone in New England/Boston-area tried any other modems that they've found to be solid in all aspects (signal, quality, battery, etc.)?

Thanks!

Phone: Samsung Captivate

Kernel: TalonDev Kernel 0.4.4.22

ROM: Sensation ROM 2 with

i9000 Bootloader
[Captivate Android Development] nimper:
I think the reason KH3 is scratchy is because of the Audience chip support (or lack thereof, in this case). CM7 doesn't have access to the Audience drivers like the KH3 modem (or any i897 modem, really) expects, so the processing doesn't get performed.
[Captivate Android Development] BoldFace:
When I was on CM7/MIUI, the only modems that worked properly were the ones that had "captivate" in the filename. If they said "galaxys" in the name I would get complaints about sound quality, however I found that in general CM7/MIUI roms call quality was not as great in areas with background noise (ie TV on while on the phone) which is most definitely because of the lack of the audience chip support.

(Yes that was me that suggested band details on your site Soggy. :D Great site BTW.)
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Bruce I do believe they are all 3G when it comes to I897. Try the "RAT TRICK" in my signature and see whats enabled. I know it works because I have tried it. I know that KE3 has all bands enabled cuz I checked using the rat trick. :p

If I helped please hit the THANKS button.....
[Captivate Android Development] Bruce Inman:
Yeah, I did the RAT trick already and it looks like all bands were enabled except in the COMBI bands which I did enable all.

I used to get H at work on JK4 and KC1 now I only get G after KH3 update, but perhaps its the theme I'm using (Honeysmoke). I still have excellent data speeds just no longer see an H there.

Thanks!

Ok, does flashing a new modem make you dl speeds increase? and if so will they work on sam capt. rom: serendipity 6.2 w/ onix kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Yes it could make it better or worse... generally if its based off a i897 Rom you can make it better or worse by changing modems and if its based off a i9000 rom then same thing, try diffent modems and see which one works best for your phone in your area (you can always go back to origional by flashing it). I suggest looking at the google map for your area on my site and see what modems are working good for others in that area and try those modems but remember that if your running a i897 rom then u have to use a i897 modem and so on.... they are seperated on the site. Hope this helped if so hit the thanks button. :) any more questions just ask ill try to help the best i can.

[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
I don't use those roms but nyydynasty wrote a great "How to" on creating the Modem file.

1. Download ANY modem to the phone

2. Download at least one CM7 compatible modem to the phone

3. Open root explorer and long press on the newer modem you want and choose EXTRACT ALL

4. Now long press the CM7 type modem and again choose EXTRACT ALL

5. Go to /sdcard/extracted

6. Open the newer modem package and long press on the modem.bin file and choose copy

7. Back out again to the CM7 modem package and open it.

8. Long press the modem.bin file and choose delete

9. Then press PASTE at the bottom of the screen.

10. Back out and go to the CM7 modem package and long press and RENAME it to the NEW modem name

for example: radio-cm-7-GalaxyS-JK4-signed.zip or radio-cm-7-Captivate-JK4

11. Now back out again and again long press and then choose ZIP THIS FOLDER

12. Go to /sdcard/SpeedSoftware/Zip

13. Long press on the NEW MODEM zip file and COPY

14. Back out until you're at /sdcard and then paste

15. Reboot phone to Recovery Screen and choose install zip from sdcard, choose zip to install, pick the NEW MODEM file name you created and then install.

Wrong modem in CM7 zip file: flashing from JL2 download results in JK4

Just wanted to give you a heads up that I have downloaded the CM7 zip labelled for JL2 twice now, and both times flashing it has resulted in me having baseband JK4.

And, just in case you're wondering, I did download and try the JK4 zip, and it gave me JK4. I was hoping they might be swapped, but no luck :D

Any chance this could be fixed? I would really like JL2 on my CM7.1 ROM as it seems to work the best for me.

I am actually using it on an i9000m, not a Captivate, but it shows up as baseband I9000UGJL2, which is what I would have expected. It threw me a little when the zip was named captivate-jl2, but it appears to be the modem I was expecting.
