Liking KC modem - listed as a solid Canadian modem :)

Sent from T959D running Miui
[Fascinate General] chubster7383:
Interestingly, the modem included in DarkyROM 10.2.2 is working great for me. My cell standby % is really low compared to the ones I used on MIUI. Not sure what I'm "losing" though and think it's the 850 MHz band.

Is there a list of some good Canadian modems to try? Also if your provider is Rogers, would a Rogers modem be best or it doesn't matter? Sounds like it's trial and error and dependent on your geographical location.
[Fascinate General] jaspring:
thanks so much! save me tinkering time
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I'm actually kind of skeptical of the battery reporting on miui - my battery has leveled out now, although I do find myself trying new things like shutting off 3G to save battery if I don't need it.

In terms of modem - yeah, its the 850 Mhz band. There's a KC1 for Darkys (I know I included the link on our Darky's thread, but also search Darky's for it - its posted some where in there by Canadian Jim). I might upload it here this weekend as well as I have a small directory of modems. I needed a different modem with CM7 but found a listing in XDA that had two good ones for Canada - the KC1 and another one I cannot recall. I find I get a few better bars with it.

Glad to see you are liking 10.2.2 - Darky's is a very nice experience IMO. I still frequent their forms and their support is really great (only support I have for MIUI to date is all you guys - who are also great :) ). I'll likely go back to Darky's at some point, but I do love to flash, although I'm holding off on ICS until either its more stable, or I have the time to play and recover (as I need my phone :) ). I'm excited by the changes in ICS - will be interesting to see how it behaves on the T959D as well as what the other ROMs (MIUI, CM) will do with it. I think Darky's will get there, but they mod Samsung ROMs and NOT AOSP ones - so may be a while.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Could you add a link to where you found it

Hey Sorry Buck, meant to do this a few times. Lots of modems here for CM7 / MIUI

So when I tried this modem on ics I got no signal at all. Guess I will be sticking with the packaged modem for now.

[Fascinate General] koocheese:
I'm on KG3, got it from rom manager, flashed it manually via CWM.

It's listed as Bell's gingerbread modem, and since I'm on Telus, it should be exactly the same.

Telus gingerbread was KG2 I believe. This KG3 is better IMO.

On another note, I started from scratch again. Followed this post to go back to stock Telus Froyo with Supercurio's kernel, then un-voodoo. (checked the option to repartition)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=923712

Flashed MIUI 1.11.25, Glitch Kernel, then KG3 modem, in that order, rebooting in between each.

On bootup it used to show i1900 going with the Darky 9.2 RE method, now its showing t959d.

Everything is running smoothly.

Thanks jpmccarthy, I'll hold off on 1.12.2.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
That is kewl and never thought of that - so skipping the Darky's step preserved the T959D identifier on the phone - I might have to try that :)
[Fascinate General] DaveJeep:
I installed CM7 on my wife's Telus Fascinate that was running the factory 2.3 with the Voodoo kernel. I flashed back the the Darky Froyo rom and then to CM7 and Glitch kernel.

It's really fast compared to before. There were a few issues. It seems to randomly reboot in the night which charging. This morning it was off and my wife said it took a long time too boot up. So long she didn't think it was going to work. Is this a common problem?

Taking a dive

Hi All,

I am planning on taking the dive to CM7.1 and Glitch v13. Just wanted to check, for the T959D, do you need to flash a modem along with this or is what is there good? If you do have to flash a modem which one??

Thanks in Advance

P.S.

I know my sig says T959P, I'm switching phones with my wife due to lack of development for T959P
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Hi - the modem should be fine but peruse thus thread. I provided a link to alternate modems for miui and CM.

[Fascinate General] Gage_Hero:
Okay, thanks guys. Any more word on ics? is there a stable one out there to flash or am I too early for that party?

there's a separate thread for that. It is there if you want to try it for sure

911 issues with Vibrant

Not 100% sure if this applies to the T959D but did anyone read the article posted by Android Central on Dec. 12? It said "CyanogenMod team dropping support for Samsung Vibrant because of 911 issues". Sorry, I can't post the external link but google will find it easy enough.

I thought the T959D was essentially the same phone as the T-mobile Vibrant (T959) and I was curious if anyone ever tried calling 911 from their phone using CM7 or MIUI?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Just tried it from mine (latest MIUI) worked fine - 911 called me back to make sure there was not an emergency *doh*. Being able to dial 911 is a CRITICAL feature so I can say it does work on MIUI on my T959D.

There does seem to be issues out there - appears to be T-Mobile related as opposed to device or ROM (although so an issue on the Verizon Fascinate running their version of MIUI - but that phone is VERY different from ours).
[Fascinate General] procco13:
Thanks. Saved me from having to try it out.

Good to know the MIUI ROM does have this functionality and I have no reason to switch - until ICS is a bit more stable (or I am a bit more brave).

Hey, I've been using cm7 and this kernel for a while and its gone pretty well but this morning, my service just stopped working on my phone and it doesn't pick up my provider any more. It picks up one provider, rogers, but it doesn't get telus. I'm going to try to flash a new baseband to see if that will work. I think I'm gonna use I9000UGJK3. How do I do this? Do I flash the entire 278MB file? And if that's what I have to do, do I install zip from sd card and then apply update.zip? I'm very new to this so when you explain this, could you please go greatly in depth cause i find the instructions to be extremely vague on the first page.

Thanks again!

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

Okay, I flashed a new baseband. (I9000UGKC1) But that didn't help! I still do not have any service! If I got into the mobile networks, and I search for networks, it can only find Rogers! This is very frustrating, can anyone help me?
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
make sure you wipe davlik and cache before you flash the modem. Not sure if you have the right file so just in case here is the KC3 link

[Fascinate General] OldManKamps:
Well, I made a big mistake. So My bro was trying to help me out with my phone like 2 months ago and he put a froyo modem (He didn't know I was on gingerbread) on my phone but he never installed it so it was just on the root and he left it there. So yesterday, I was going to flash a modem from that big list that the one guy posted. So I put it on the root but I put the .exe there accidentally.(poor idea to make it a .exe) So I when I went to flash the modem, I saw the froyo one and I thought it was the one I was looking for and I flashed it. So now, my phone is on the GPRS mobile network some how. How the hell do I get it back to the Telus network. Please I need your help really badly. It has no service and 3G at all now... I made a Nandroid backup before I did the modem thing and restoring that one did **** all for me. I have a Baseband for the right network(I9000UGKC1) but my network type is wrong.

PLEASE HELP

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

That didn't solve it. :( I don't know what to do. It's not the baseband. It's my mobile network type. Please bucky. You're my only hope.

Steps to complete:

1.1. Open ODIN and place the files in the proper sections ..

s1_odin_20100512.pit in "PIT"

T959TLJL3-REV03-ALL-low-CL763100.tar.md5 in "PDA"

T959TLJL3_FROYO_Phone-CL763100.tar in "PHONE"

SGH-T959D-CSC-TLSJL3.tar.md5 in "CSC"

1.2. Start the phone in "Download" mode and connect to the computer. The first "ID:COM" box should turn yellow and show a numerical COM port. Make sure the "Repartition is checked" and Click "Start" and let it finish. Disconnect when the yellow box changes to green and says "PASS"

[TELUS] [T959D] [MIUI] Latest Versions

So I have flashed previously 12.2 and yesterday flashed 12.16.

I can say that I do not feel either build is good for daily use - the 12.2 had significant data issues working with wifi and 3G/3G+ - 12.16 did not seem to have the same issues - but the wifi toggle seems to have gotten confused the vibrate - I would have it indicate it was OFF, but it was clearly ON.

Very odd - I have personally flashed back to 11.25 - might try 12.23 while I'm waiting for Santa. :)

Hey, I have questions about flashing a new modem. The KG3/KC1 modems didn't work very well for me and on that thread were those are found, someone posted a site that had radios on them.

This is the thread that posted those radios.

CM7 T959D

Well finally got running on CM7.1, lol the Darky resurrection part needs to be stressed more, I didn't do that the first time and well not much worked for me. Everything is good now though, which modem is everyone running? I have both the JL2 and KC1, seems JL2 runs better in my area. Are there any other newer modems out a guy should be using?

BTW the Glitch kernel rocks and CM 7.1 is also very clean and highly customizable.

I tried a little ICS but it didn't do much for me, alothough I did just run the kernel that came with it, not the fugu one.....

I haven't had any data issues lately... Currently using 12.9 MIUI

Signal strength on the KG3 has not been a good as others I have compared it to in the Vancouver region. Sitting next to a friend on bell with an S2 in Burnaby on the bottom floor of a townhouse he had 4 bars whereas I was struggling with 1.

I was out in UBC which has some notoriously sweet dead spots, I couldn't get any reception compared to my blackberry bold which has 2 bars (apples and oranges, I know).

In the city for the most part my reception is just fine.

I'll give 1 of the other modems a try.

Display issue

Does flashing i9000 Custom ROMs like Darky's and Cyanogenmod on a T959D scale your screens display back ~1mm on all four sides?

Mine's done it on both and it's annoying. Is there a fix?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
You might have to show a screenshot of that - I don't recall that being an issue for me on Darky's, MIUI, or even ICS.

[T959D][MIUI] Fresh Install

Well, back to MIUI after a brief stint with ICS. While I loved the look and feel of ICS - some stuff still felt a bit buggy and with me returning to work Tuesday, needed some stability.

Still did a fresh install - factory reset, wiped cached, batt stats and loaded up 12.30. Works well - also flashed:

- KC1 Modem.

- V13 of the Glitch Kernel

- 4 Way reboot.

- Newest overscroll and MIUI control panel for 12.30

- Carrier fix.

All good again. Noted that I was previously using the old overscroll which was likely the cause of some of the odd issues I had with the status bar on other 12.x releases.

Also, I had used the MIUI back up to back up my desktop settings prior to flashing ICS - restoring those (along with Apps using TB) made getting my layout and folders back easy peasy.

I'll likely go back to ICS at some point, but right now on the latest and greatest MIUI.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Also, was tweaking GPS and did two things.

1. MIUI puts a Europe NTP server in, change it to ca.pool.ntp.org

2. Followed the instructions in this post (http://www.miui-au.com/howtos/faster-gps-fix/)

My GPS locks instantaneously.

Last week my wife and I went to a sprint store because her moment was having problems. The person there offered her a different phone but out of the list her phone was the best. I have read about people getting different phone by complaining about the epic and with all of its problem. I do have insurence on my phone. I was wondering what people think my chance of getting a differnt phone is? I have had it replaced once. I have been really happy with the dev community here and if samsung had programmers half as good as the ones here we would see ICS on our phone by the end of the year. Also does anyone know what the other phone options are available for a replacement for the epic?
[Epic 4G General] Paris6906:
Also not looking for an insurance fraud case to swap. Saw that with one of these threads before.
[Epic 4G General] tubasteve:
it depends on the manager at the time. when my samsung moment was going out(which has flash) non of the phones offered did. i begged, just poked my head in 3 times a week to see if they chagned the list. i know i bugged, but if i wanted no flash i would have stuck with my treo 755p.

in short it really depends who is there help you, if you complain, the squeaking wheel gets the oil first as my dad says.

Did adobe rewrite flash player to support the Samsung moment? I'm 100% sure that the moment's chipset does not support flash that's why I got an epic. But html5 works fine on the moment which I found out about 2 months ago.

but if flash does work can you post a link to where you got flash from? I searched on sdx and they all confirmed flash doesn't work.

4.136V as well

What do I do, shut my phone off for a few mins? How do I prevent this and why does it get so high?

UnNamed ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
During CPU use and/or charging, heat from the CPU also heats up the battery, however at those temps the battery is still safe to use, its not until 120F+ that I would be worried.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Iskor12:
Also...a fully charged 3.7V cell phone batter should read 4.2V, so you are still with in the safe limits for that too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
105.8 is not high at all - not even remotely.

4.136v is not high either. Voltage goes up to 4.2 volts near the end of a charge cycle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RocketSled:
105.8ºF is 41ºC. Lithium batteries become damaged at temperatures in the 70ºC range. 158ºF. As stated, charging heats the battery some, and discharging heats the battery some. Provided the battery voltage is less than 4.2V and greater than about 3.1V, this kind of temperature is not a problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vidkun.torvald:
I noticed mine doing something similar a couple times over the past few days. I would use it for a few minutes to play a game or watch a video, then close that app. The phone would remain extremely hot to the touch and eat through my battery like crazy. After about 15 minutes of it still hot the first time, I went in and killed the entire process for the app I had been using. Then waited for another 30-45 minutes for it to cool off, but it stayed hot as hell. I had to power off the phone completely and it cooled off very quickly.

The second time it happened, I don't remember doing or playing anything graphic/cpu intensive. Just went and plugged in the phone to charge while I slept. I woke up and it was doing the same thing where it was insanely hot to the touch. I left it unplugged for about 30 minutes and it stayed hot. I went in an powered off again and it was cool in under a minute.

So far this has only happened twice in the entire month I have had/used the phone. I remember someone else reporting similar issues before in a different thread as well, but couldn't find it again. I didn't know I could pull the battery's temp so I don't have that info from when it happened. Where did you find that temp? I'll post it the next time it happens. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this other than charging heating up the battery?

I'll post the temp when it starts acting screwy again though.
