So, I tried using the JPM modem. I had no UMTS access for some reason. I checked what was going on and I made sure to enable everything. Lo and behold, the JPM modem file did not work with the 850 MHz band even after enabling it in the settings. As far as I'm concerned, I think I'll just stick to my JG8 modem for the time being. I have 850 MHz access where I am right now and no 1900 MHz.

To check what band you're connected to, dial *#*#197328640#*#* and click DEBUG SCREEN and then BASIC INFORMATION. When I'm in Brooklyn, I have 850 MHz and 1900 MHz access. But in certain parts of the Bronx, I only have 850 MHz access. It's how I found out about the issue pretty quickly.

[Captivate Android Development] id10terrordfw:
I almost suspect that people in non 1900 areas may be stuck until the bell vibrant 2.2 modem leaks. That was a key component under 2.1.

Plus, I like to tinker around. IPhone is not really the best device for that. Haha.

[Captivate Android Development] l7777:
While that appears to work, my phone wouldn't let go of the 1900 mhz band and connect to the 850 WCDMA band even though it's available and a much stronger signal. My phone would actually switch back to 1900 mhz GSM when it lost the WCDMA signal. With my 2.1 ROM and AT&T modem, the phone stays in the 850 WCDMA band most of the time.
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
lol, well the only reason i used this rom was because it was a lot faster and smoother than cognition's froyo rom. but now that there is voodoo for captivate for froyo, i might switch back on his next beta, because i dont really need the hsupa. I rarely upload anything to the web. maybe 1-2 pictures once in a blue moon.

But this rom has been pretty good other than that problem with the modem :/

if anything, i rather have the browser lag be fixed. It lags like a ***** on websites with lots of java or photos, and it leaks memory too :(
[Captivate Android Development] raychang:
In my area 3 days ago, the 850 Mhz band is much stronger than 1900, if I select 850 WCDMA only, it will lock in 850 (verified by entering *#0011#). In the past 2 days, they turned off the 850 bands, and my phone will go to 1900 WCDMA or GSM 1900 even if I select 850 WCDMA only.

Have you tried to reboot the phone after selecting the WCDMA 850 only when the 850 WCDMA is available and strong? I can hardly believe that the JPM modem will choose 1900 instead of 850 under this situation.

Not sure about the other post. But under recovery mode, power button doesn't work for me. I navigate to wipe cache but cannot select with power button.

The other issue is home button acts as back and back seems not working at all.
[Captivate Android Development] PowerPC:
Just flash the modem back to JI6, the button still doesn't work. So, it's not due the the modem.bin file.

Nice job xcalibur :D Glad to see you're still with us!
[Captivate Android Development] daraj:
So let me make this clear... the point of this kernel is to be able to install I9000 Froyo roms on our captivate? Just like the older Eclair reoriented kernel allowed us to install i9000 eclair roms.?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
Well you can already do that and apply the JI6 modem and kernel, this is to allow you to use I9000 froyo ROMs and have hsupa or use Captivate ROMs with hsupa.
[Captivate Android Development] id10terrordfw:
No, you use the i9000 JPM/JP6 modem. The JI6 modem/ROM/kernel does NOT have HSUPA.

Use the i9000 across the board.
[Captivate Android Development] l7777:
Yes, tried several reboots and confirmed each change from the debug screen basic information page. It seems weird but that appears to be what it is doing. At my house, 850 is the strongest signal, at my work, 1900 is. At work I don't have any trouble with signal, but at home, the phone falls back to GSM and practically refuses to switch to WCDMA. For now I returned to a 2.1 captivate build with captivate modem and kernal as the e-mail app in current froyo roms won't play nice with exchange 2010 sp1 and that is more important to me than froyo or HSUPA. For reference, while I'm at home with the 2.1 build 850 WCDMA is all it uses. I forced it to the 1900 WCDMA band only and saw the same poor signal as I did with the JPM modem. Once I get to work, the 1900 WCDMA band is better so both modems use it as I'm going to guess that more data can be sent on a 1900 mhz wave than an 850 mhz wave.

[Captivate Android Development] xcaliburinhand:
Yea, keeping an eye on the I9000 threads, they are doing some good stuff over there and a lot of it is easy to bring over.

I haven't fully decided which direction I am headed as far as the Universal Lagfix and CWM recovery is concerned.

Plus, there is still that pesky wired headset issue that is driving me up a wall.

v2.1.1 reoriented kernel: Compass problem

I flashed the v2.1.1 kernel on Oct 25, since then I noticed that the compass behaved differently, but is not quite right. The needle always pointed to and stuck at the corner which is tilted the lowest. I just went to an AT&T store and compared the stock Samsung Captivate in the compass program and found out that the stock Captivate's needle did not point to or stick at the lowest corner, but pointed to and stayed in the official north position decisively even if I intentionally tilt the phone. The v2.1 is not right either, did not really point to the true north decisively.

I am using this v2.1.1 kernel with Shep211's stock Froyo I9000 JP6/JPM ROM.

Have any other people observed the same problem?

[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
When i was stock I thought it says 1900 when i was on 3g
[Captivate Android Development] raychang:

[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
my dad was on his iphone4 right next to me and had full 3g and i had full gprs
[Captivate Android Development] raychang:

[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
ALL,

I was wrong about the tower I was having problems with being 1900 3g its 850 for 3g.

So in my opinion all i9000 except the i9000m cannot ever connect to 850.

and we are stuck till bell comes out with a i9000m froyo.

P.S. when that comes out someone smarter than i should compare in hex the jpm modem and the bell froyo modem

[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
all i9000 modems have 850 gsm

I am on cognition 9.1.1 now and 850 3g works fine once more
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
Speaking from experience, yes, they HAVE 850 GSM in the modem, but unless you follow the instructions linked to in the first post of first flashing back and getting JG8 running on 850, you may not have WORKING 850, regardless of the modem's support of 850.

I used to have a perfectly functioning JPM setup on 850. Then I went and played with some other roms, and when I cam back (nandroid restore) my 850 was gone. No matter what I did, none of the I9000 modems gave me 850, even though I had enabled it. Really screwed with my head, how something that had worked great now was dead.

Then this discussion of having to 'reset' 850 with the JG8 modem was pointed out to me, and now all is well again. We all agree that it makes no sense, but it works. Just because any given modem has 850 does not mean it will work on your phone. Once 850 is lost, this process must be followed to get it back, then you can use the modem of your choice.

What i am saying is i did thart and still had no 850 wcdma

JPM modem on WCDMA 850 band: a systematic procedure

I has a working WCDMA 850 at home on JPM modem 5 days ago by luck on Shep211's stock ROM. Then this JPM cannot detect any 850 bands since 4 days ago (after I have done other flashings/mods). Thanks to newter55 and boomerod, a systematic approach will guarantee to have a working JPM modem for WCDMA 850 (if signal is available) on Tayutama I9000 Froyo ROM v1.0.1 with the this oriented kernel if you follow the steps in the following URL:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8833581&postcount=165

I cannot reproduce the similar results for other ROMs without first flashing Tayutama's ROM, and think that there are something good remained in the Tayutama I9000 Froyo ROM v1.0.1 after the subsequent CWM flashings.
[Captivate Android Development] lpsi2000:
While you are thinking about the incremental update. Please take a look at the following issue:

Using my Audio Bluetooth headset (A2DP) I am able to listen to music, answer the phone and etc... However, as soon as I turn the headset off, I lose sound from the phone speaker until I restart the phone. This started happening with the 2.1.1. update. It was not happening to 2.1 update. Actually I went back to 2.1 to test and it does not happen.

Anyone else having this with their A2DP headset?

Edit: The best way to replicate this is issue is turn on Bluetooth headset with A2DP, talk on the phone using the Bluetooth headset, hangup the phone, turn off the headset, and voila no sound from the phone.

Ehm...I hope you mean 850. I'm sure you do, I just thought I'd point that out for anyone else reading this.

What I've notice though, with some of the different Vibrant modems at least, is that you sometimes sacrifice battery life for increased speeds. So, report back to us if you seem to lose more battery with this modem. Do you have any other tests to go on other than this one? My speedtests can vary by about 1000kpbs, so I'm wondering if you have a number of tests done with the JPM modem to compare with.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
No, i meant 900. for some reason with this modem, instead of enabling 850 in combi, you have to enable 900. And i did do some testing with jpm when i had to make a 4 hour trip last week, and compared it to my wifes ji6 captivate, but i dont see myself driving that far again anytime soon. So far though around my house, it seems like its a little bit better than jpm but i havent been using it long enough to say for 100% sure. Its deffinately no worse than jpm.
