I am sorry for the noob question but what is the purpose for flashing a new modem, will it help with faster download speed? Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] htcjais:
Bingo! It worked. ODIN worked. I am now on JI6. Thanks a ton Scrizz!

I have no idea why it was not working on CWM. That's still a mystery.

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
glad to hear it worked!

[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
modems are what controls you phones data and phone connections.

so a good modem will give you better signal, faster download speeds, better battery life, etc..

hope that helps :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jonesla9:
So I plan on flashing the Axura 2.2.7.1 rom and and wanted to use the KA6 modem but just found out that it is already comes with the rom so I guess that less work for me or is it different? Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
lol you're fine.

If KA6 doesn't like you very much, you are welcome to flash any other modems that you like.

[Vibrant Android Development] pvspencer22:
I was having signal problems on macnut r14 in London with JL5, constant searching and slow GPS fixes.

KA6 has been working perfectly on both fronts for me so far. I'd say the battery life is comparable if not marginally worse. Worth the battery for quick gps.

[Vibrant Android Development] Jow24:
how is battery life and data on ka7?
[Vibrant Android Development] Rareutu:
KA7 didn't work so well for me on the data speeds, though the GPS was quite good. Since internet is more of a daily driver for me, i'm going back to KA6.

I don't know what it is about JK6 but its my favorite modem. GPS seems to be working perfectly now after I did the samsung gps reset and it worked.

Speed is very good, I can get a constant 3G+ signal in my college classrooms now which is very nice.

Tried all of the KA* and wasn't a huge fan. Battery was dying constantly even though I had a consistent signal. No idea why...
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
have you tried out JL5?

If not, give it a whirl.

:D

you have nothing to lose.
[Vibrant Android Development] tjsynkral:
I don't get it. Everyone says KA7 is better at speed and GPS than KA6.

KA7 gave me no lock (and only 2 sats instead of the usual 10+) and half the speeds I expect. KA6 was better for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
KA7 was worse for me than KA6.

you're not the only one running KA6.

Just because something is newer, doesn't mean it's better.

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] kobesabi:
Both KA6 and KA7 works for me about the same.

I'm on KA7voodoo kernel and was running with KA6 modem, thus baseband showed KA6. Thanks to scrizz tip, I read up about it and later upgrade to KA7 modem. While running new kernel with older modem, they seem to work fine. Is it bad to have kernel with mismatched modem for a long while?

After upgrading both kernel and modem to be KA7, it still shows "Froyo.UVKA6". Shouldn't it show Froyo.UVKA7 after upgrading both?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
reflash, might not have updated.

I run mismatched kernel and modems all the time.

YMMV

I am not responsible for any damages, etc, etc,.....
[Vibrant Android Development] SimeonAS89:
JL5 seems to be solid. Reconditioned battery yesterday and wiped stats. Unplugged this morning at 830am and I'm at 91% at 242pm. Haven't had constant 3G, but it seems to be holding up well even on EDGE.

As far as GPS is concerned, I used the Samsung fix in the market and that did wonders for me. So GPS IS SOLID. Now I get an instant lock whereas before I could sit for 30+ minutes and not get a single bird.

Highly recommend JL5.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
glad you tried it out and liked it.

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
did u try reflashing?

:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] sofia.p:
What did you use to fix your gps?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
go to market and download the "GPS REstore" app from Samsung.

then,

try flashing the KA6 modem.

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] sofia.p:
Thank you kindly. Im gonna flash KA6 in a bit. how is the battery life on it? and 3G?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
it works great.

for me it has been one of the best modems.

batt life and 3g great.

don't forget to use the GPS Restore app.

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Martezgarki:
I have a question here... is modem the only deciding factor for battery life?

For example if I use KA7 with JK6 modem I'll be getting JK6 battery right?
[Vibrant Android Development] mainevent3405:
Do you flash KA6 before using Gps restore or vice versa?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
no, it is not the only determining factor; It is a determining factor, though.

GPS restore

[Vibrant Android Development] :
scrizz, so whats better for both data and battery...JK6, JL5, or KA6?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
I have found KA6 the best for me.(GPS, DATA, battery)

JL5 a close second.

I now consider JK6 out of the picture.

JL5, KA5, and KA6 outperform JK6 in my tests.

quick question, Is there something you guys do to make these works? I was using stock ka6 Tom and decided to try jl5 modem since I remember it locking really fast to like 8 sats, instead of 1-2 I get with ka6. Well after flashing jl5 I get nothing, no locks, no says found nothing, so I decide to revert back to ka6, and now its the same, no nothing. I Tried flashing both modems again and still nothing. Is there a special way of doing it?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
go into market and download the GPS Restore app from Samsung...

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] traicer:
I've tried it, but it seems that it only works for that moment after using it. If I restart the phone the issues come back
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:

Modem Speedtest.net

I tried flashing all the modems on my Vibrant with Nero v5 w/ voodoo enabled. I'm sure you know but, this Rom comes with KA5.... I am in South Florida and this thing rocks steady!!! I still couldn't resisit trying them all out, well, the 9 I found on your Modems thread. I ran 4 speedtest.net per modem to compare upload and download speeds and quite frankly, KA7 had the best results down here but barely. The KB1 wouldn't let me send pictures and would take forever to open the market for some reason. The difference was merely ranging between +/- .02 Up and .07 down. Which I get it, based on where you are that can be a difference but again down here that's what I found. Also, I was usuing the Boca Raton server. I work out of Lauderhill, Fl and this is the place where I did my "research" lol..... Sorry, just a fan of android and wish I could do more but I guess for now this is it. I barely reap the fruit of you guys hard work and dedication but I will tell you, I have helped others root and I point them towards xda for guidance. lol my bad, rambling........ Anyway, Thanks for what you and the other devs do man. Hope my little experiment does something for ya.

KB1

was wondering if some ppl could give me their thoughts on the KB1 modem. I have flashed to it from KA7 and i think i like KA7 better. just tryin to make sure though and sure if i should reflash the KB1 or just go back to KA7.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
for me KB1 is better.

not everyone is going to have the best results.

If KA7 is the best for you, the nstick with that unless you get one that works better.

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] niftydl:
I live between Baltimore and Washington DC and commute in the area daily, I find the KB1 modem much more sensitive to signal strength. Meaning if the area has even the slightest weakness in 3G it will drop to EDGE right away. Most of the other modems are a bit slower to react and some - like the KA versions will try to hold on to 3G until the very end.

I am testing KA6 right now and I get excellent speeds on HSDPA when I get 3G signal. KA6 sometimes shows the same symptoms as the original shipped rom where it will show no bars but still have actual connectivity.

Once again, thanks for all your hard work :)

P.S. Battery life is a little harder to judge since my usage patterns vary daily but I think the KA modems are a little less juice hungry overall.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
KA6, as I've mentioned before, is the one that works best in my scenario as well.

Thanks for your report!

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] cgingermany:
Honestly, in south florida, well Broward county anyway, kb1 rarely picks up signal. I'm with everyone else, ka5-ka7 work great down here. I'm using nero v 1.2 with ka5 and so fast it's the best for me. Hope that helps.

KB1

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania BABY!!!

KB1 extreme data speed and about 3 bars signal on average...

DRAINS THE **** OUTTA MY BATTERY THO :mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] crowlaw:
I am also coming from the KB1 Modem. Voice calling is draining the you know what out of my battery as well.

I live in Dallas, Tx, so it is pretty flat down here, so I am going to try out the KA6, which seems to be the general consensus here.

When flashing a modem with CWM, is it like flashing a rom, being I should only flash when my phone is 100%? Not for sure if flashing the modem wipes anything.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
modem does not wipe anything.

Just flash from CWM as you would a ROM
[Vibrant Android Development] jonyolea:
Which one its better for data, battery and gps?
[Vibrant Android Development] niftydl:
There is no such thing as the "best" modem for all of the above. Many factors influence modem performance (your location, ROM, etc). Most modems will benefit in one area and be a little worse in others. Modems that grab more signal are also more power hungry. The general advice is to try one of the KA modems, so KA5, 6 or 7.
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
I've been playing between KB1, KA7 and KA6 all day. So far I think KB1 is the best but drains the hell out of my battery definantly. KA6 seems to be good with the battery but the GPS is not as quick to lock as the KB1 for me... KA7 is like KA5 for me. I'm in New Jersey.

KA5 that was included in Bionix-V 1.2.1 was absolutely horrible. I couldn't lock onto any gps ever, my txts were not going through, phone calls dropped.. I was ready to throw my phone out a window.

What is this that I keep reading where there the kernel has one modem and then the baseband is the one we are changing??? Anyone care to shed some light on that for me?

And why is it that everytime I change a modem my battery will be at say 60 percent, i'll reboot in CWM and apply the modem then restart, literally a 30 second process... And when the phone boots back up it shows the battery between 5 and 15 percent... whats with that?

I noticed they switched from the KA5 modem to the KB1 modem with 1.3.1. I have always found the KA5 to work better in the past.

Can anybody here who knows about modems let me know if the KB1 actually works better than the KA5 with 1.3.1.

Thanks in advance!!
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
thing with modems is, it depends on where you live, and a number of other factors.

all that means is, Use the one that works best for you.

Since you said KA5 worked best for you, just flash that modem.

Thanks a lot for this thread scrizz! Its nice having all this in one place.

For all;

im on KB1 atm, data speed is great! Gps is quick, singal strength seems to be on the 2bars or less side, and battery life is great. Other than that its been a great modem!

I will be testing KA7-6 in my area, cuz i liked the signal strength in KA7-6 but i dont really remember the gps and data. So i will report back with my findings.

My Location is Oregon, Citys are; Portland,Beaverton,Tigard, mainly.

Its nice to have this thread to reference on which modems work the best.
