Problem with modem reports

Everyone when reporting on modems seems to focus on 3 things

Internet Speed, GPS and battery life.

But call completion and quality is strangely left out.

I know I'm using AT&T so I have to live with dropped calls to some extent.

I live in NJ, so any reports from this area would be great, it also means I'm in an area with overlapping 850 and 1900 coverage, I wonder my area and the overlapping signals isn't one of the reasons I'm having a difficult time finding a good modem

I'm on Firefly 1.5

I've switched back and forth between speedmod and firebired v2 kernals

Things I've noted

Call quality on KP1 was excellent when standing still, the moment I got in my car it was crackling static audio and dropped calls to a much greater extent than even my iPhone had.

Call quality on JK4 is ok most of the time, stays usable while moving but still drops a lot of calls.

The call quality and completion when running the rogers kernel from cognition and the default modem was very good, better than my old iPhone

Is it possible to find an HSUPA modem that is comparable in voice quality and completion to the stock rogers modem? or do I have to choose between HSUPA and call quality at this point?
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
If you want to do some testing then use sgs tools. Open it and click secret codes, then click battery stats and look at signal strength and voltage. JK4 modem provides the best signal and lowest voltage when unplugged therefore saving on battery. JL3 came in second and was just a tad bit higher in voltage use than the JK4. Both JK4 and JL3 stayed under 4000 while the other modems listed were about that threshold with a weaker signal.
[Captivate Android Development] TazMan1688:
I'm using CWM to install with a zipped file. JK4 gave me a small problem, but I haven't been able to find a working JK3 file.

That was with Cog 3.01 & speedmod and also tried firebird 2...all I would get is the hang up on the install bar

I switched last night to Serendipity and JK4
[Captivate Android Development] Stealthed_Rouge:
Yeah im still having an issue with it. Ever since installing fb2 i can install a new modem.. Is anyone else having this issue and does anyone have a fix?

toggle 2g/3g?

Has anybody figured out how to toggle 2g/3g easily? (i.e. with tasker when the screen is on or certain apps are running)

A good 3g toggle would save many of us the battery life we are looking for in our quest for the perfect modem.

Turning off 3g or just HSPA is the only thing that gives me more battery life regardless of what modem I'm using.

I don't want to disable HSPA altogether (if I'm browsing or streaming), but there is no good reason to have any 3g running when the screen is off (2g should be fine for email and notifications, etc)

The closest I've found is this toggle but it won't work on the captivate ROMs I've looked at:

hey everyone,

i checked everywhere on the internet, looked a lot of places but i couldnt find the solution to my problem.

so... everything was okay this morning i was like updating my twitter,browsing, everything fine, internet working ect. and couple of hours later in the afternoon my network was gone! right now i cant MAKE CALLS, access internet and all that stuff. its like a tablet now, just accessing internet via wi-fi. everything else-like games&music- seems to be working perfectly well.

i did a soft reset& a hard reset. i also checked the settings from the phone section of the connection manager. it just cant find a network!!

help me?
[HD2 General] fred_up:
What do you see when you go into Settings -> Connections -> Connection Setup?

Go to Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Network. Change Network selection to Manual. The phone will do a search for available networks (this might take a few minutes). If you see your network then fine, but I am just checking if the phone can see any network, ie a problem with the phone.
[HD2 General] ledese:
yup, of course i checked those settings. it finds some networks but it cant select it.

thinking about it through the day, i came to think that it was a problem about the sim card. still not sure what to do next though :/
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Have you not got a friend on the same network? Then borrow their sim and try that. If that works, then try yours in their phone.

Hello guys. My phone don't turn on when i press power button, VOL UP/DOWN buttons don't work also.

1. I flashed my vibrant with Unofficial TMO 2.2 Froyo ODIN *2E Recovery +SD Fixed Updated*11/09/10*. Don't know why after what i can't access download mode by 3 buttons. I had Android System Recovery <3e>.

2. After that i try go to download mode with battery out method, and it was fine. Next step was downgrade firmware to T959UVJE8-factory-final-MS_Guru.

3. After that i had "Android System Recovery <2e>" message :(

4. I tried to reinstall back Unofficial TMO 2.2 Froyo ODIN *2E Recovery +SD Fixed Updated*11/09/10* but something happend and Odin software Failed and i had "picture phone ! pc".

5. I tried both methods to go to download mode and after half an hour method with battery out and pushing vol up/down buttons accepted.

6. Then i tried to reinstall original firmware one more time. And it was fine. You can see screenshot in attachment.

7. But my phone after flashing turns off for rebooting and died.

When i trying to connect it with pc or charger nothing happens. Buttons don't work. Nothing on screen. Battery out not helped.

What to do??????
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbrockway:
Did you try holding volume up and down and plug in usb cable method to get into download? I'm kind of wondering why you had those other files in there. The guides I saw just had the sit and the pda tar.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinyBuddha:
I think mbrock meant pit, not sit.

And yes, you only need the .pit and the .tar files.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bafxyz:
Yes i tried this method. It doesn't work for me. I done all steps exactly how wrote MS_Guru in "Reflash Your Vibrant To Original Firmware"
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
have you tried eugene's froyo that doesn't brick then go back to stock?

when going back to stock you only use the pda and the pit. that seems to be you problem.

Load s1_odin_20100512.pit into .pit at top of ODIN

&

Load Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.tar.md5 into PDA of ODIN

P.S. Tommorow i'll try to modify USB cable with resistors. Hope this will help me.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bafxyz:
Maybe this info will be helpfull. In this situation with dead Samsung Galaxy, Vibrant, Captivate only one ressurection. You need to open your mobile phone and reflash boot loader using RIFF Box JTAG which you can find only in service center. And you need to save your IMEI information which you must read from this address 0х80000 and this lenth 0хA80000. Thats all.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tswtech2:
i tried that method you decscribed , now my phone is in MOde that say "power reset or unknown upload mode" any clue about how to get into download mode from this. odib detects my phone in this mode but i don't think it will load the software since it is not in download mode.

I am using the rogers captivate and i just flash my phone to the I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears(1). However, the phone works a little bit slower than before and I cant use my 3G function from rogers. Is there any way I can go back to the rom I had before? Or any way to find the 3g function back?

[Q] What's the absolute best way to wipe everything & return to out of the box stock?

First, thanks for all of you offering up your time w/ these mods. You've turned the Fascinate into a monster and I'm very grateful.

I've read through and performed the steps in the odin restore and remove voodoo threads, but I'm still a little unclear. Well, that and I'm getting some funky hangups on the phone even after doing all that. So I'd really, really like to start completely fresh. Fresh like out of the box fresh. What is the best way to go about this?

Thanks!

PS. I've looked through a few pages, but if I missed a thread w/ the exact answer I'm looking for, please link or describe it and let this one fall away. :p

OK, OK before anyone starts flaming me and saying read honestly it's too much to read I work and have a family and cant read 1,000 post threads to get my answer.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way let's start with what i'm looking for.

I want a rom that has mostly all the stock things like sprint nav, sprint zone, gtalk, sprint football, flashlight, fm radio etc...... Most of the stock goodies or at least an option to install what i want to install from the stock apps.

Also I want a functioning 4g, 3g and possibly a free hotspot app if not no big deal. I dont want a rom where major things (or mostly anything) is broken.

Now hears the hard part which would prob bring the flame, and please be gentle guys for example virus rom looks like it has some goodies, mikfroyo, and one i really like is myn's warm two point two.

With that said i need to have my phone work not halfway working but fully working web, calls, etc.......

Is it possible to have the best of both worlds with these roms fully functionality with the beautiful customization or is it impossible.

I want opinions or experiences or suggestions and please if your not gonna help my cause you dont have to post.

Thanks in advance to all who help in any way they can
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leukay:
I don't know what your idea of halfway working is, because pretty much all sense roms (besides Desire HD and Desire Z) here have everything working... Myn's is no exception. If you like the way his rom looks, use it. The only roms with outstanding issues (4g and hdmi) are aosp based roms (Cyanogenmod, MIUI, LiquidE). Hope this helps.

FYI, there is a Q&A (questions and answers) section, where this post would belong

I'm semi new to the android seen but I have used all of the following:

Myn's TwoPointTow

MIUI

Virus AirBourne

Ava-FroyoV9

Frost

Out of all of them my personal favorite is Ava-FroyoV9. It does everything I want with no problems what so ever and has a nice look to it also.

Again, just my opinion.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyrnight:
You don't have to read a 1000 pages to get this info..

the Dev's have all the info your looking for in the first post of their rom threads.

They say wether or not something works or not.. and if it has the stock apps your looking for.. and MOST of them give you the .APKs to install the stock apps after if you want them on you SD card after install..

Simple as that..

Simple rules of thumb:

if its a Sense based rom, everything works.. (Desire based sense roms excluded)

if its a ASOP based rom, no HDMI or 4G yet.

and Almost all of them have the wifi-tether program install by default for hotspot. If not its EASILY installable..

and to avoid flaming wear a fire proof suit. (q&a section, there are no stupid questions there)

Okay with that being said...... I personally like AZRAEL rom and the stock sprint apk's are included in a folder that is added to the sdcard when you install the rom.
[Epic 4G General] dannyniceboy:
Overall I have had a great experience with this phone. It is fast, has great hardware, and even had some faith in Samsung for Froyo fixing some of the problems I was having with it. However, when I arrived at school today I pulled my phone out my pocket to check my text messages, and low and behold my screen is shattered internally. My phone does not have 1 scratch on it and has been babied like crazy. This is completely unacceptable for a ~$600 device meant to be transported in pockets and such. I don't have TEP but I will be up at Sprint raising hell until either I walk out of there with a new Epic or Evo.

Has anyone else had this issue happen or have any luck with Sprint fixing it?
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Obviously while in your pocket it was not "babied". Phones don't magically break without a reason.

[Epic 4G General] scriz:
x2..not to raise any wild hairs, but you obviously bumped it up against something. Sprint will replace your screen, but for $35. And thats only if you purchased the Epic after they changed their insurance rules. If you don't have TEP and you bought the phone before that, I don't think there is anything Sprint will do for you. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, I worked in wireless sales for a little while..please don't believe you are going to walk into the store and just magically get swapped out for the Evo. You will get what you have, an Epic. The Epic is an overall better phone anyway, minus the amount of dev support.

Be polite when you go into the store, thats the best way to get someone to side with you.

I was voicing concerns over the build quality of the screen in my phone and asking if anyone else had similar experiences to find out if I am the only one this has ever happened too or if there are any known issues before going into the store:o. Instead people reply with smart ass emoticons :p. Pardon my frustration :rolleyes:. And btw you guys must have a lot of faith in a company that mass produces millions of phones to not even consider the fact that maybe just maybe a sub standard panel was put into a phone. I take it none of you lived through the debacle that was the moment. So since no one else seems to have had any issues with a weak internal screen I shall let the thread die off.

my stock nexus one becomes highly unstable after booting up. im running strock 2.2.1, and this issue started apearing recently (after 2.2.1 update). the phone has never had any problems in the past.

whenever i turn the phone on, if i touch it it becomes really laggy and freezes, requiring me to pull the battery. however, if i let it sit for 15-20 minutes and then play with it it works fine, until the next time i shut id down (which can be days). i have performed a factory reset without reinstalling all of my old applications, i have formatted my sd card, and i have checked all the applications that start on boot up, but none of them seam to be the issue (when there was nothing on the phone it still reacted this way)

any suggestions? should i contact htc? this is really annoying.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Before you do, you could try to root and check the logs for anything suspicious (logcat and kmesg). Also you could try to install custom ROM and see if the problem still exists.

If it doesn't help - you should contact HTC.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houzuoguo:
Because when system has just booted up, it needs to check SD card and mounts all App2SD applications.

Try to boot your phone without SD and SIM card, see if it solves the issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EErez:
tried removing sim and microsd and all th possible combinations.

it runs great without the microsd, so im guessing that was the issue. ill try another microsd to make sure its not a hardware/software bug related to sds in general but rather an issue with my specific microsd (which isnt the stock one).

thanks for the suggestion. i was very close to sending my phone in to htc (already had a ticket open and a fedex label)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houzuoguo:
that sounds good ;) perhaps your SD card was corrupted. Connect it to your computer using a card reader, and do a disk check in Windows, see if it can fix any problem. Also try to degragment your SD card.
[HD2 General] hereric:
My HD2 has been awesome so far, but it recently got a little bit chilly outside, and I live in Ottawa in Canada, so this is a pretty pressing concern. When the phone is being used outside, it seems like the cold weather causes the screen to go a little bit wonky.

When i'm texting, sometimes it won't register my fingers pressing the screen, or it will think that im HOLDING down the button. This wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't live in Canada and winter is coming, but it is and I do. Any help or knowledge in the matter would really be appreciated.

I bought the phone off of Ebay so i'm not sure if it has any sort of warranty on it, Is there any way of telling what revision of screen the phone has? Can i buy a new LCD/Digitizer/whatever on Ebay to fix the problem?

P.S. I searched for cold and screen and LCD but i couldn't find anything relevant to my question. If I missed something, sorry!
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Heres a couple things you can try- If you have a screen protector on the phone, remove it and replace it with a new one. I have found that even with a good fitting screen protector, dirt and such can still get under it and cause mispresses. Not relevant to the cold I know, but still something to try. Now, does the device work well under room tempreature conditions? Third, to see what revision you have, check these out: Is your device T-Mobile branded? Under your battery cover, what color is your reset button-yellow or red?
