+1 Lets keep this forum area clean .. its just for development stuff guys.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryukeima:
I have had the same issue with all I9000 modems, the only fix that has worked for me is to enter the service menu and force WCDMA 850 Band only. Also, questions should be posted in the question forum.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
[this thread is pretty relevant to development - considering the rom chefs are using this modem in their releases and it has a potential major flaw. if the mods find it better to be in Q&A, then please move it - otherwise, i think the right eyes will see it here]

yes, yes and yes!

ive been posting about it in the perception thread, but no one (save for 1 user) chimed in with the same issue.

we both noticed that we both have an issue where we will bounce from 3G to H and back fairly often. this leads me to believe that it could be part of the problem.

i just odin'ed back to stock because my phone isnt receiving incoming calls now.

what i had planned to do was flash the latest perception but use a different modem... but it seems like the only sensible modem is the JK3 (although there is word on the street a new one just leaked?). so that idea is kind of out.

someone here said they were going to try cogkernel2, but i was on setirons and cogkernel2 and it happened with both. it seems to be a modem issue.

i wanted to lock the phone to use 3G only to see if that would help, but no one shared a way how... but reading this post it seems i can do it from the service menu - though i dont know exactly what to set/change to keep it only on 3G. (any help would be great).

so i believe im going to flash perception 8 and see if i can lock it into 3g mode and go from there. this is getting pretty tiring. im hoping if a new modem releases that will help, but i honestly am not sure i can wait since it is making the phone unusable.

below are my posts from the perception thread on the issue.

--

this continued the same way on perception7 with cogkernel2. no real difference.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
in relation to my post below yours, does locking the 850 band only force the phone to use only 3G, or is HSDPA/HSUPA still enabled but you found the 850 band to be more stable.

this is what my next attempt will be to get a solid platform going.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
I've tried different modems other than jk3 and it doesn't fix the problem. Stinks that you've used Cogkernel2 and it doesn't help. I also tried the different band selection in service mode and it also hasn't help me (apparently this worked for some people). If you want to give it a shot do the following:

1. Dial *#0011#

2. menu button then soft back key

3. then phone control -> network control -> band selection

4. good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
ugh. that is disheartening. i will try the band lock, thanks.

can you confirm or deny that when you notice your phone goes completely out of service that it has been hopping between 3G and H? it would be interesting to see if we all have that issue as part of it.

also, fingers crossed for that supposed new modem.

/sigh
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
Yeah this really sucks because these roms are great with this one very big exception. I haven't noticed the hoping before I need to reboot. I have noticed that if I switch into airplane mode once I drop service I can't turn it off.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
I had the same issues with Axura and Percetion. I found that switching my network control to WCDMA 1900 only pretty much fixed it. The only problem I had after was that any time I lost service naturally, ie, bad area, or shielded rooms, whenever I came back into a good service area I could never get a signal again. So I would have to reboot.

In the end, I'm back on Cog, 2.3b7 and no issues for about 14 hours now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
gotcha. keep us posted on how that turns out!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
glad to hear that that version of cog seems to fix the issue. which version did you get--oc or non-oc?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
I'm using the non oc. I'm not gaming or doing anything too wild with my phone so non is just fine for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
hmmm, makes me think that's the issue then. most of these roms have kernels that have the oc feature.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
hey keener, did you have the oc version of cog?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
sadly ive been running non-OC this whole time, so that doesnt appear to be it :/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
doh! i was getting optimistic too! ok, guess we just need to keep bumping this thread until the problem gets figured it out :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikejames07:
Just to let everyone know. I flashed the new Telus modem in the Development section (JL3 I believe) and my data and reception seem better. Little to no dropping of signal.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
good to hear. what rom/kernel are you running with it? sounds like to still have to reboot but just not as much???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikejames07:
I'm using DocRambone's XXJPU v2.0 ROM and xcaliburinhand's i9000 reoriented Kernel. The forum for the modem states people are using it with Captivate kernel's and i9000 kernels. There are mixed results when using with a captivate from what I read.

No I actually haven't had to reboot. The signal has only dropped out maybe twice since I flashed which as at least 5 hours ago and if it does drop, it immediately reconnects. I believe the service mode code to disable HSDPA and HSUPA actually works with this modem, however, when I disabled them my data was really wonky. With them enabled I'm getting typical speeds.

On another note, I was using the JK4 modem yesterday and in order to keep a stable signal I had to switch to Edge. This gave me UNBELIEVABLE battery life lol but I can't stand the slowness of Edge:rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
was the edge toggle in the settings of the ROM or in the service menu?

id like to either force HSU/DPA off or even switch to 2g to see if that can keep my phone from falling into noservice land and needing a reboot. currently running perception though and there is no such option. wondering if there is a app to do it or specific service settings.

(samsung sghi897 on perception b.8)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikejames07:
I used perception and if I recall correctly it said have the toggle. Its in Settings-> Wireless and Networks-> Mobile Networks. For edge you pick GSM only.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
thanks. i didnt realize that was the effect of that setting.

gonna ride that out for a while and see if it is more stable as i wait for a solid modem or solution.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikejames07:
I tried the method of setting my WCDMA to only the 1900 band. And I must say it hasn't dropped all day. It's been over 12 hours. I have kept the phone on wifi all day but I have wifi set to sleep when the screen is off and even then it didn't drop the signal. Battery had been decent too. There is very little drain when in sleep mode. Hope this helps someone.

When you start using those HSDPA speeds though, say good bye to your battery lol. That's to new expected though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
ran in GSM only but still had the issue.

trying WCDMA only now.

might also try 850 only and 1900 only as well.

(samsung sghi897 on perception b.8)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
I jumped back to cog 2.3b6 w/ voodoo_stable and the problem's gone (as expected I guess). Before I switched back to cog, I noticed that the service problem does happen after the phone charges to 100%. After charged is when I lose service, have to reboot, then start having the random drops.

After I'm done with my last final before Christmas break I'm going to start experimenting again ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
check back in a few days to confirm cog2.3b6 with voodoo keeps it from happening.

I, too, noticed the issue in relation to when it got charged and to what percent. weird reason to cause this kinda problem... though its strangely similar to the charging death problem as well.

thanks for the feedback and my fingers are crossed that that combo is stable.

(samsung sghi897 on perception b.8)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
yeah i'll keep this thread bumped for better or worse.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
just bumping to say that wcdma only mode did not keep the issue from occurring.

gonna try 2.3b6 to see if using a captivate rom+modem does the trick like it seems to be doing for others.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimab:
Finally I found more people with same issue...

Axura, Cog b7+, Perception

all those based on jk3, jk4 and yesterday checked jl3 modems are causing me the same issues as described in the thread

i can't find the link to cog b6 on designgears' page, can you please pm me it?

also is there a way to take for exmaple axura rom which is based on JK2/JK6 rom and put there JJ4 modem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
i'll put up a link for cog in a little bit unless somebody beats me to it. and yeah, you can flash the jj4 modem with axura--not sure what will happen though ;) assonance is jk3 based and when i flashed the jj4 modem i would get reboot whenever i missed a call.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
yeah, it seems that although there isnt any particular reason or logic to follow, many combinations of ROMs with modems they arent based on is asking for trouble.

seems like those older ROMs (like cog2.3b6) that are based on captivate ROMs cater best to resolving this issue for those of us affected.

i havent found a link for 2.3b6 yet either, so thanks to derek for uploading it when he can.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellishhorses:
Well there may not be a fix but at least I've found I'm not the only one with the problem. Looks like JJ4 modem paired with JJ4+voodoo kernel is the best combo for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] echernenko:
This describes exactly the problem i am having as well. I am running Axura 2.2 for now. The phone loses reception and all data when charging and getting close to 100%. It needs to be rebooted a few times in the morning until the connection grabs hold. After reboot, it dies on me fairly quickly and needs the reboot step repeated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
phew, that took awhile.

http://www.multiupload.com/INTYWFD6PU

this does work but as others have also mentioned--does feel not as responsive as the i9000 roms and axura. but, we still might get a fix or a decent work around with a live thread in the dev section :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimab:
hmmm I've tried looking for how I change modem at roms, but haven't found anything too useful with actual steps i need to do to play with kernels and modems

if you got some links to threads where these processes described please share, i would like to play with the available combinations of roms, kernels, modems

Huge thanks, will try this cog today.

How do we make our problem getting noticed by devs? (i got my phone from friend who came from us to israel, so exchanging it at at&t is not really an option for me :D )
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
thanks for the rom, i appreciate it.

i will likely flash over tonight or tomorrow sometime and report back.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
interesting update!

DG added 2.3b6 to his repository if you want to DL from there: http://ponack.net/designgears/OLD/Cognitionv2.3b6.zip

and he also released 2.3b8 - which, although i havent found the changelog for it, appears to be captivate kernel jj4 and modem jj4 based + voodoo. people in the thread are saying its basically 2.3b6 with voodoo and jj4, which is what we are doing here.

im going to grab that and odin to stock then flash to 2.3b8 and see how it rocks.

will report back, of course.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
just bumping to say ive been on cognition 2.3b8 for 2 days now with no issues.

battery life is superior as well, though to be fair, i havent installed facebook yet, so that might be partly responsible.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
cog worked fine for me too but i just find it a little less responsive than the i9000 roms. i'm still experimenting with the i9000's hoping to find some combination of kernel/modem that will work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Anyone finding a solution to this yet? Ran Cog b8 for a while and of course it worked fine, Captivate based, but I had to switch back to Axura 2.5 for the speed. So far, the only solution I have found is to go into Settings, Wireless and Networks, Mobile Networks, and Choose GSM only. The downside is I'm only using edge and no 3g, but it hasn't dropped service in about 10 hours.

Edit. Scratch that, just lost service using GSM only. I guess band switching isn't the issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keener31:
so far the only solution has been to use a captivate rom and modem.

i tried a bunch of stuff with i9000 roms and nothing ever stuck.

only other thing to try is getting it replaced at ATT. anecdotally, it sounds like newer hardware isnt affected... or at least not as badly.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Stupid Question:

Have you flashed back to stock and see if the issue still happens? If the issue stops then you know its the kernel/modem/custom ROM your using that is causing the issue.

If it still occurs - then it is possible that it's your phones internal hardware.

Always good to start back at the basics and work your way up from there.

And... in my limited experience - all of the i9000 ROMS have issues with battery usage - some are worse than others.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
i only started experiencing the dropped service when i started using the i9000 roms. i'm having better luck with darky's rom but am not going to say "it works" quite yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerolock:
So I am still seeing this with the i9000 roms. I tried each of the i9000 modems listed with perception 8, voodoo turned off. I currently have the jl3 modem installed and lost service once today. HSUPA/G3 I have not tested - but the phone sits in the same place on my bed side table or kitchen counter, wifi on. I'm currently using Phoenix 3.0.

So the trade off here is - i9000 ROM - fast, current, working GPS, modded/sick fancy OR we can go back to yesterweek's tired, wired magazine reading, kerry vs bush no GPS having klunk-o-rom, but have phone service.

any captivate based rom works well as long as the modem used is jk2 or 3. no service issues (faraday cage not withstanding). So this evening I am testing over the next 24-48 hours to see if there is a service loss while I force the phone to 3G (thank you SGS tools <- check market).

Now for those of you that want to change out the modem in your roms - you can do the following:

1. flash your shiny new or crusty old rom

2. download (on your phone is ok) a modem pack form the sticky modem thread in the Captivate Dev forum. Captivate modems with captivate based roms, i9000 modem with any new rom based on the i9000.

For for a long time I was running eclair i9000 with supercurio's reoriented kernel and the 512 pit/CSC <- worked great no issues and HSUPA. so something changed in the upgrade to Android 2.2.1. since there is only one set of source files for 2.2.1 on i9000 every rom is going to exhibit the same issues with the modems. Therefore - we need to look at the kernel and the interaction with the modem files. from there we need to isolate it down to a data vs radio connection. Since when I lose my voice service it tells me there is no data connection - I like to assume that at this point it is all VoIP from the phone to the dmarc so the problem is most likely in the data connection.???

please confirm or deny my insanity.

also I did mention this in the Cognition irc channel - i was told I was crazy.

[Vibrant General] kronos82:
Step 1: Wait for the official release of Froyo

Step 2: .....?!?.......That's all I really got :D

I am assuming you are using the stock ROM, in that case we don't have froyo yet, should be out soon I mean hopefully if you are not in a stock rom and on a froyo based rom, you will have to check with the developer of that rom to find out if that was included or not
[Vibrant General] Shrivel:
3gp is an mp4 container. It's the same compression.
[Vibrant General] solidkundi:
@kronos82 i have Macnut R13 running..... the file size still shoots up like crazy when recording....

Shrivel if thats the case... its still pretty much the same size as it was before, so that mean i had mp4 compression w/ stock?? any1 actualy seen the difference in megabytes?
[Vibrant General] Shrivel:
A phone can only compress a file so much on the fly while recording - that takes incredible amounts of processor power. I doubt the file sizes can get much smaller, if that's what you're looking for.

Recording to mp4 would just be another way of packaging the same kind of file. There should be very little difference in file sizes if the compression is the same between a 3gp file and an mp4.
[Vibrant General] mapinkerton:
For what it's worth, I'm running the unofficial leaked JK6 (stock, but rooted) and I noticed last night that it's now recording video with a .mp4 extension.

File sizes are still large as pointed out by Shrivel, so there may be no difference in the file other than the changed extension. Maybe that's all there is to the rumor you heard?
