I don't stray far from the Captivate forums. Thanks though. :3

For my case, I got worse down/upload speed. I was on ICS RC4.2 with default modem. I was getting 2300kbps for download and 1000kbps for upload on default modem. After flashing KF1, I got 800 kbps for download and 300 kbps for upload. I tried both twice, so it will be more accurate. Now, I am back to ICS default modem (UGJL2). At least, good to know there are options.

Also, changing H/3G icons seems random. It happens on both modems and I don't see any correlations.
[Captivate Android Development] raenye:
I flashed the Nexus S UCKF1, here are my early findings

(running Apex 12.4, previous modems were UCKK4 and XXJVT)

- GPS is much better, cold start in 5-10 seconds :)

- UCxxx modems are HSUPA-capped, so max upload is 384kbit/s :( This ought not happen with the XXKB3 Nexus S modem, which is the next I'll try.

- Modem keeps UMTS (3G icon instead of H) when data transfer is inactive. Still early to see effect on battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] leezrd:
top three are ugjil2 and bottom three ugkg3
[Captivate Android Development] mcnutty:
Thanks for pointing these out! The call quality has been much better than many of the cm9 ones I've tried so far.
[Captivate Android Development] iphone=closedsystem:
Thanks for the post.

Flashed KF1 on miui Gingerbread and while it worked the modem seems slower than what I am normally used to while at home. This is the Seattle WA area.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
I had the same problem with Gingerbread and I'm near Seattle as well. Call quality was very good.
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
I've noticed the same. Call quality is too good. I've gotten pretty good speeds with them as well so I was on them. But now I'm back to SimplyStock KK4 :)

UHH they've suspended the download links because of too much traffic great...

Someone post a link to the kF1 modem?
[Captivate Android Development] erad1:
...or maybe the op can reset his links...please!
[Captivate Android Development] nuwan32:
anyone use the kb3 modem? if so how is it? and ur links are dead dude lol
[Captivate Android Development] Akitohk:
thanks for the info;)

my cappy do like XXKB3, great call quality and good DL/UL speed in HONG KONG

seems AUCKF1 don't fit my region, got a very low DL/UL speed.

I've tried a ton of different modems, and I'll be willing to give these a run. I'm in Seattle too, and JK4 is usually the best I've found for my area. I'll let you know how they work.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
Thanks so much dude I actually live in san Joaquin! lol =)

LOL wow 2 days without sleep is getting to me i though you said san joaquin...

I just insatlled it i have no bars, mobile netowrk type gprs:1, service state:out of service, signal strength: -111 dbm 1 asu

---------- Post added at 05:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 AM ----------

Just thought ide post this running KH2 i896 modem in san joaquin califronia i gte an average of 3-4 bars
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I just ran both of them and had the same results, no bars, no service. Gone back to trusty old JK4
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
Thats weird that some people get great reception and some get a weird service and no signal...
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
I tried out the kf1 modem and I actually got 3 bars of signal, but... it would only say 3g for data as opposed to having "h" for data while sitting in the same spot in my house. Data seemed to be a little slower than ugjk4 for me at least in eastern Pennsylvania. YMMV.

Kb3 I didn't even get a signal at all. Showed no service

[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
Kb3 gave me no signal as well
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
How many people are experiencing this ( just post what build your on and what kernel if any other than stock ).

Maybe it only works with certain ics roms...
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
Prototype miui 2.1.20 stock kernel

Kb3 modem is no bueno for me

ask me about my beachfront property for sale in Iowa. Selling for cheap!
[Captivate Android Development] shaker2k:
I think it depends on what ROM your running. On docs Master ics v3.1 I could use the nexus modems. On his Kang build I get no signal or crappy data.
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
THS build 16 running glitch b3 kernel

No go on either modems

THS builds are all kang builds the OP needs to be updated that these modems don't run on kang build roms
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Here is kf1

http://www.mediafire.com/?darezffy3f21wo6
[Captivate Android Development] gstern:
On THS b16, stock kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
I couldnt get them to work on onecosmic ics rom. No bars no signal....
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
I have it running on OneCosmic

The first time I flash the modem after installing onecosmic I had to flash it again because of the No bars gprs, the second time I flashed I cleared cache and it worked. Also try a modem dance of KF1 then KB3 for those who say they have not gotten it to work. It works GREAT for me, better than any I9000 modem. KP1 makes me sound like a robot, no one can hear me with JK4, KC1 was the only one that worked for me.

I had it working on AOKP with Glitch b3 (the in call volume script made it echo on my side that I did not have on AOKP, onecosmic or CM9 with stock kernels when I tested).

Attaching my screenshot of the speedtest I did. First 3 are KB3 on CM9 and the bottom 4 are KF1 on CM9 stock. Notice that KF1 gets the upload cap from ATT whereas KB3 does not. The 4th test at 5 pmish had the HSPA tweaks applied from the thread the modems came from.
[Captivate Android Development] erad1:
I have no issues when flashing KF1, I will see how well it runs before trying KB3...my ROM setup is in the following post.
[Captivate Android Development] erad1:
sorry for the double post but im having some connection issues on my PC
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
im running the same rom and kernel as you. still none of these modems work on mine.
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
HMM maybe its glitch it doesnt like because im running build 16 with glitch kernel. Do you know how to get the stock kernel?

Nevermind found it. Stock THS kernel that comes with cm9 build 16.

http://db.tt/3UdzNgvt

How did you install it? Because i went back to the stock kernel and it still gave me that weird gprs type signal and no bars

View attachment 906991

I'm running THS build 16 glitch 14 b3. These are my results after flashing KB3 in Sarasota fl without any tweaks. It stays locked on H and I'm getting 3-4 bars consistently
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
Thsi si getting freaking confusing on what rom it works on...
[Captivate Android Development] bedwa:
It's one of those try and see things. I think it's in the ril files that determines if it works or not. Myself I've been using this technique since around Dec 20th (here) and it's worked for me on CM7 (GB) and team hacksung's ICS builds. Just keep a clearly working modem handy for security. (I have swapped 3 modems in a day depending on my area as I use my cappy primarily for internet anyways.)

Edit: And BTW, Kudos to the OP for figuring it out as well, good to see other daring people out there as well. :)
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
In other words is there a way to make it work on every phone?
[Captivate Android Development] bedwa:
Plausible, but not guaranteed. Trying that exact thing with the Galaxy Note N7000 with a G-Nex modem at the moment. If i succeed I may have a duplicateable technique.
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
Sounds great =) keep up the good work... man the devs around here work so hard and do such a great job.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
I want to +1 on "try it and see" because I don't think no harm will come from flashing an incorrect modem. You'll lose signal and have to flash a different modem.

I just tried KF1 and it worked after a couple of minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
Yeah it can't hurt to try because as long as you have a modem that works fine on your sd card you can just flash back to that one
[Captivate Android Development] bedwa:
As NS modems were made for a AOSP device, it stands to reason the needed framework will be best in one of those roms (AOKP, CM, MIUI ect...)

For the tech savvy, here's the Baseband to UI interaction......

http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/development/pdk/docs/telephony.html

My suggestion would be to look at the chart.
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
I tried flashing these on Galaxy S/Captivate roms with a modified install script, but I can't get signal, so I guess they only work on Nexus S based roms(such as cm7, miui, ics, etc)
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
The only thing is some people gte it but some don't and i have no idea why
[Captivate Android Development] jesus_c:
kf1 don't work (no signal) with miui.us (GB) rom 2.2.10 and platipus neo xx.1 kernel
[Captivate Android Development] gstern:
Actually i did not use the zip's in the OP. I downloaded modem files from the nexus s forums and pushed them into existing zip's i had on my sdcard using root explorer. problem is- i have like 3 versions of XXKB3 and i can't really tell which one of them worked for me.

BTW- since this thread got me intrigued i also tried flashing some i9100 modems but no go. save yourselves the trouble in case you were wondering if they would work.
[Captivate Android Development] Akitohk:
i'm using ICSSGS RC4.2 with XXKB3

yesterday i try to flash icy glitch 14 B3 kernel, but it seems to have some conflict with my phone.

so i flash back platypus test kernel, no signal (it work before)

flash KB3 again, no luck, flash KF1, no signal

i decide to flash XXJVT again to get it work, then KF1>reboot>KB3

finally it work, i dont know why

not much battery left, maybe more test when i get back home
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
WTH MAN!!! out of no where it starts working?!?!?!? I tried for hours to get it to work and this morning i try flashing it once and it works
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
Its very sporadic in flashing. I had to reflash onecosmic this morning and the modem wouldn't work the first two times I flashed. Third time... it did :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] :
I usually flash KF1 then KB3 or it never works, they are weird lol, but I am getting beast quality and speeds.
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
Anyone in california in the san joaquin valley get better signal with kf1 or kb3?
[Captivate Android Development] erad1:
really...thats odd, but when on KF1 my 3G data is a huge battery hog. I watched it drop over 3% just trying to load just one FB page. everything else including idle battery drain is normal.
[Captivate Android Development] bedwa:
Spot on with the i9100 observation. That one's a xgold 6260 chip, just like the one in the G-Nex btw. I'm working on the "Get T-Mobile working on the Note project" which incidentally has the same chip. The Captivate/NS has a completely different baseband chip.
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
UPDATE on kb3 modem.. Reception and data are perfect at my house, but I've noticed it fluctuates considerably depending on location. I can be 2 miles from my house and get one bar and 1G. YMMV

THS ICS

GLITCH 14 vB
[Captivate Android Development] mafo5000:
I dont recommend these modems if you live near chicago. I tested them and for some reason i wasn't getting any service except at my house where i have a mini cell tower.
[Captivate Android Development] orb_526:
Both modems worked for me.

Slim ICS

Icy Glitch V14 B3

Attached is the Speedtest with these modems in my area (CT). The top 2 are KB3, the next 4 are KF1 and the last is KG3. I am going to run KB3 for a while and see how it fairs.
[Captivate Android Development] bedwa:
I'm in Springfield myself and I swap depending on my area of town.... and btw, to whomever tipped me on the Euro Note thread, thank you. I'm working over there now and it's surprising how many current Samsung devices use the xgold 6260 chipbin the G-nex........ :eek:

From an Icy Touchpad. Word.
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
i know most modems have been repackaged or whatever to work on ics roms but what seems to be the fall back reliable modem for isc? im on weui with kg3 and it works. how well i cant really tell since that rom, like many, has the full signal bug.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
My fall back is KC1, everyone else reports KP1. It really depends whats good for you in your area. KP1 makes me sound like a robot and so do most other I9000 modems. KB3 from the nexus s has been the best of all the modems for me...
[Captivate Android Development] bedwa:
My fallback has been kk4. But the best is to download a few and run them from a few hours to a day to get a good range of data and voice.
[Captivate Android Development] ptesmoke:
ok so i dunno if using these modems has screwed something up but all my regular modems now leave me stuck on H connection all the time. though ive had a few people tell me its normal for you to always be on H. what say you?

the typical behavior i was used to was 3g being shown when data wasnt being transferred, and when data was needed 3g wohld switch to H. im so confused as to what i should be seeing. i am now stuck on kf1 nexus modem as now its the only modem my data seems to be stable on. kc1,kp1,jk4 now all have stuck H constantly and also seems to make my device very hot.

ive wiped and wiped and wiped to no avail.. im running ths cm9 build 16.
[Captivate Android Development] bravomail:
Works on AOKP b23, Icy Glitch V14, KF1 modem

AOKP b23, Icy Glitch V14, KF1 modem - my config, I put kernel and modem into ROM zip, then flashed ROM. It works pretty good. OC/UV causes black screen freeze. I can receive and make calls, People can hear me, I can hear them. Media sound works too.

I'm in Detroit area. Whadup niggas! :p
[Captivate Android Development] ptesmoke:
so i definetly cant flash any other radios now ... any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] bedwa:
If its stuck without a modem and not letting you flash one, the only option may be to ODIN a oneclick, or reflash a firmware with a repartition. Then you can reflash your rom and restore your Titanium backed-up apps.
[Captivate Android Development] ptesmoke:
i can still flash normal ics modems bjt theyre all stuck on H and data is unstable...looks like i may have to odin. ill have to borrow a laptop as im away for work. whats the easiest one click? im originally a rogers captivate...is there a rogers gb odin with cwm kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
I repacked kf1 and kb3 in an existing modem cwm3 package and flashed away in Mosaic 9 / Talon 0.6.0.1. It took a bit of work to get it to work but I'm on kf1 now and so far its looking good. Ill test for a few days and report back about battery and signal. Early results (an hour or so) says signal is better, especially the wifi, which, is weird.
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
Oh wow that's impressive. Screenies/Download links will be much appreciated! :D
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
I don't know how to take screens, but this is what I have found. These nexus modems, while fast, suck battery and will not get off of the GSM 1900 and wcsma 1900. They flat out will not operate on either of the 850 bands. Reception is not that great but when it is good these modems screem. Ive played around all over in the service menus trying to get 850 to work and they just wont. I have tried 2 versions of KF1, KB3, KD1, and Korean KC1 nexus modems. Ill upload the modems in a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] pintek:
I'd be curious to try this out if i wasn't for the fact i'm on tmobile usa an don't need to kill the edge network ability on my phone >.>
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
Interesting. However, if you look at the speed test I posted in the OP, I was achieving HSPA speeds on KB3. The modems have had some weird things associated with them. Sometimes they would not be recognized by the ROM and other times they would cause the phone to reboot? I think its a trial and error and the ROM plays a huge role in the overall usage of these modems. For now, I'm sticking to KG3. hopefully more people can report about these modems.
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
I would also like to note that with the exception of KC1 all the other modems were built specifically for ATT, (I9020A.) Would be worth a shot at some of the non ATT modems.
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
I'd also like to note. Now i can't send any text messages. I can receive but i can't send. I'm going tto reflash the rom and kernel and see what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
Not sure why you can not send but can receive. I am on THS b16 with KB3 and have not had a problem sending messages out.
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
Problem discovered... borked IMEI.... dunno how. Maybe from me maybe from the modem install... good thing I have a backup in 2 locations.
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
All problems solved. IMEI is now correct and all NV data has been restored and i did it my own way. Not the 2 most common ways of rebuilding IMEIs.

Also a side note. I believe that my IMEI was borked now for a while running these nexus modems and flashing back to I9000UGKC1 my phone would not use the 850 band and would only use the 1900. So i would be under the impression that having a borked IMEI prevented me from using the 850. Anyone want to try and confirm!?!?
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
would a odin to stock fix the imei?
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
NO. odin/heimdall do not touch the EFS folder. The EFS folder contains data that tells the carrier what phone and who you are on their network.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
I checked my imei and it had not be changed. I've flashed these modems almost a dozen times now trying out different ics builds.
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
so how do i check my imei to see if its broken or not?
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
Like I said i may have borked it my self by accident. And also it seems like every phone is different.

Pull you battery and read you imei. The reinstall you battery boot your phone. And type *#*#INFO#*#* in the phone dialer, select phone info, and read the imei from one of the top lines of tthe screen. If they match then you are good if not, you got borked.
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
Well my imei matches but since i was there i noticed my network preferred says unknown.
[Captivate Android Development] cheese74:
I had the opposite experience. My IMEI was messed up at some point when I went from Eclair to Froyo to ICSSGS and Codename Android. I didn't manage to keep a backup of the IMEI and it was showing up with the generic IMEI and nonsense Product Code. Once I reverted back to Eclair using Odin, it appeared to restore my IMEI and product code
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
Guess i should have been a little more clear about that. They are not supposed to touch that folder. We all know Odin does weird things without warning. I've heard its even ruined marriages. Heimdall is safer.
[Captivate Android Development] ctechbob:
I just had the same problem this morning. I had been messing with my phone last night and somehow caused it to behave very odd, so I thought I would clear it and flash the rom (ICS) again. Only this time, it nuked my IMEI. I gave a shot to Odin back to a 2.3 rom, IMEI was correct. Reflashed the ICS rom and my IMEI stuck.

Only thing I forgot to do while back on 2.3 was check my lock status through this all since the ICS roms apperently have issues with the sim lock.

Hey guys, a bit off topic but since we have been testing modems, I tested BVJJW2 and found out it has the BEST GPS I've ever had. Fastest lock and most sats I've ever got indoors. As for up/down speed, it seems the same or maybe slightly lower than jvu. hard to tell.
