I found KA6 ICS to be best around. Tmobile Vibrant here is So Cal.

KB5 drained battery like a mo fo

KA7 two drop calls within within 15 minutes same drive everyday

KA6 got my vote for best voice call and battery life. data is good but KA7 is better for data if you don't have lengthy conversations.

Sorry, the link was for standard Samsung Vibrant KA6 modem, not the ICS KA6 build.

On latest CM7 nightly. Just wondering if there is a recommended modem. Also, previous phones I have had never mention 'modem' in the forums. I have upgrade 'radios' for other phones. Can this upgrading the 'modem' be considered similar?

Also, how can I tell what modem I am currently on?

EDIT:Is it the last 3 characters of the baseband id?

yes and yes :D

Binary file is same, but structure of zip as well as update script is different....

would the ics modems work with JB?
[Vibrant Android Development] ioancr:
Of course. You could do it manually if you want. Put ghe phone in airplane mode. Use a root browser and push manually the modem.bin file (make sure to rename it if it's not) to /radio folder, set permissions and reboot. Toggle off the airplane mode and enjoy.

thankyou so much was just thinking bout this today. jk1 is kinda iffy for me. hulu is stuttering while tethering.. jk2 might be better for my locale. thanks again.
[Vibrant Android Development] SamsungVibrant:
Ya, I think JK6 gives the best battery life and best signal. Just because JL1 seems to be newer doesn't mean it is better. JK6 is awesome so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] Macfionn:
Please forgive the newbie quality of the question, but I AM learning

Can one explain how we benefit from adding a new modem to our vibrant?

Im old school. I think of a modem as hardware. Obviously, thats not the case here.

So without having to take to much of your time, could you just give the cliffnotes of a modem as far as this thread is concerned?

Thanks tons!

Mac
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
well the modem controls voice and data connections.

so a good modem would give you a steady internet connection, a better signal, and can help improve battery life.

Just because a modem is newer doesn't necessarily mean it's better.

so what's the difference between all these 2.2 modems?

Nero v.1 has JL1, but according to this thread, JK6 is the preferred modem for 2.2?
[Vibrant Android Development] asdf916:
does the modem affect wi-fi? i dont have a data plan through my network (nor do i want it), so i'd assume i go with jk2 to get the best battery life?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
well it depends.

For me, I get better battery life with JK6

;)

YMMV
[Vibrant Android Development] asdf916:
actually, since i'm on the att network, should i be using a captivate modem? i'm only getting about 2 bars with the jk6 on my vibrant. i usually get full bars on my tilt (4 year old HTC phone)
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
big no

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] darks33d:
For me the JL1 modem with the jl4 kernel w/ Voodoo inserted into it seems to be the best bet. I get amazing data speeds with a really decent battery life. I am using Nero Version 2 heavily modified to my liking :) and I can go from 0430am to about 8-9pm heavy usage( I mean GPS nav, games , music). I love it!

any suggestion you guys can give me?

ps. my sister in law have the vibrant and while we're on her house her data connection works just fine and I just get errors. I'm using gingerbread clone from Eugene.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
you can try using a different modem.

Try the JK6 one.

I have Azura with JK6,but i am wondering if there is one with even better data,i don't care for battery since i am always close to a charger,is this one faster on data or JL1,also are they all compatible with Azura the latest version.?
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
Noob question:

But wouldn't mismatched kernels and modems have an effect on performance?

e.g. JL4 voodoo + JK6 modem???
[Vibrant Android Development] AndroidOS.FTW:
Is it recommended to "reset battery statistics" before testing?

To me, it only seems to make sense that I'd want to do this before "testing" a new modem so I have a zero baseline for comparison, or am I really off-base here and the battery statistics won't really give us any useful information in any usable format.

As it stands now, much of the "performance" of this or that modem seems subjective. One persons experience being different than another’s due to so many variables (running custom ROM, custom Kernel, running startup application management utility, etc.)

I personally run an almost completely stock JI6 2.1update-1 device. I've only rooted, nandroided and re-installed the original MobileAP application (something I REALLY needed and I finally got fed up with waiting to have put back in with the release of 2.2), I haven't deleted any "bloatware" (but likely will in the near future), I haven't flashed a new ROM, Kernel, UI, etc.

After adding back in the MobileAP, I don't have or feel a need to ROM flash. I probably will just because I like to experiment but, before I do. Maybe I can be of some service to the community and run a series of tests against the baseline JI6 (with the above noted exceptions) by flashing the different modems and running a battery of tests for a day with each.

But, I'd like to be able to offer something more concrete then just my personal perceptions. So, I'd like to hear some suggestions as to how I can perform this testing and record in some way, some type of quantifiable result from that testing such as a log file. Maybe the developers here know of a way to gather this type of data and a way to go about generating it?
[Vibrant Android Development] Bigby2727:
Which 1 is da best for battery and data??
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
they are all compatible, but you would have to find out which one is best for you.

;)

JK6 and JL4/5 would be the best for me.

no

It is true that the battery should always be calibrated before testing for battery life.

one thing that affects battery performance more than the modem, is the kernel.

Stock kernels give the best battery life bar none.

;)

If you want to compare all the different modems.

flash a modem, then calibrate your battery and use it till it dies.

rinse and repeat for each modem.

make sure you keep the same rom etc.

that way the only variable will be the modem.

:D

they are all compatible, but you would have to find out which one is best for you.

;)

JK6 and JL4/5 would be the best for me.

:D

Ok, I just odined last night for the second time. I had to go back to the original stock (JFD?). For some reason I kept having problems with ji6.

[Vibrant Android Development] Blaqhawk:
JK6 was crap for me here in El Paso, TX. The connection was so bad (kept dropping 3G) that I didn't keep it long enough to see if there was any effect on battery life. The JL5 has been the best for me so far, but I just flashed the JL4 a while ago and will try and report on that tomorrow. So far, it seems pretty good. Initial speed tests seem on par with or slightly better than the JL5 I have been running. I can milk a battery in half a day (heavy usage) so we will have to see how it goes.

Well the day is half over and the JL4 is doing slightly worse than the JL5. I have been replicating the tasks and rough times I've run each application to pretty much the same as yesterday. Data sends to be just a hair different (slower) than the JL5. I will repost an update later tonight.

[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:

seems like people are best off with either JK6 or JL5

[Vibrant Android Development] Blaqhawk:
Yep. I would agree. It is now 600 pm and Ooo am down to 20%. Just slightly worse than the JL5 modem was for me here in El Paso. Given my unscientific evaluation, I would say that the battery life is just about identical. Signal is about the same as the JL5, maybe slightly worse, but hardly noticeable like the JK6 was. I will be switching back to the JL5 for now and waiting for my 1800mAh eBay battery to arrive. $10, can't beat that.

I need help just to flash the modem with cwm. Can anyone tell me what option to choose after rebooting from the recovery mode, at this time, I only have the following options:

2. Install zip from sdcard

I do not see the re-install packages from sdcard option on my phone.

you would use "install zip from sdcard"

the n just select the file you want and FLASH

don't extract the zip!

just put the zip on the root of your internal sdcard and flash.
