this is odd..using jk3, jk4, kp1, and jl3, I was connected to the 850 band (*#0011#), my data would not work at all. the h icon would show up and occasionally the arrows would light up, but I could not load any webpage or open the xda app or anything. after switching to a modem that does not use the 850 band (jpy, jpp, jpm) I was connected to the 1900 band and data would work again. (I could load webpages and open the xda app) my speeds however were pretty low. (~1600kbps up and down) I don't suppose anyone else is getting this issue? im using serendipity with the speedmod kernel but I doubt that has anything to do with this because there are other people using the same combinations with speeds at least twice mine. (download at least) maybe it's just at&t's network being crappy here in new jersey.

I'll fix the zip for JK3 & JK4 in the OP when I get home, I took the link from the stickied modem thread instead of re-uploading - not realizing it wasn't made for CWM (my apologies). I'll also add JPY since people are reporting success with it.

Danke!
[Captivate Android Development] Ikonomi:
I've been having a similar problem with my HSPA data using KP1, JK4, and I think JL2, and have been looking around the forum for clues. In my case I think it's AT&T's network, as the connectivity problems only happen within a block of my office (Greenway Plaza, Houston, TX) after about 9 AM. Have you noticed the problem everywhere, or only in a localized area? It could be network congestion. In my case, I have tried disabling 850 bands, but was unable to connect. I'll try some of these 1900-only modems.

I know the BUJP5 modem is not listed in here but I have had even better battery life with it than the KP1 modem. Here is my battery usage breakdown:

2d 10h 9m 4s since unplugged

-------------------------------------

Display: 64% | 2h 44m 19s

Cell standy: 18% | 2d 6h 10m 12s, 0% (Time without signal)

Phone idle: 9% | 2d 7h 24m 44s

Voice calls: 8% | 22m 9s

Wi-FI: 2% | 3h 19m 37s

As of this post, I currenlty have 9% battery left. Voice quality is really good and so is the GPS. Again, I cannot vouch for the speeds. I also place my phone in Airplan mode when I do not have signal. This really helps in conserving battery life.

ROM: Precision 1.01 (no lagfix enabled)

Modem: BUJP5

Kernel: Speedmod K12U 500Hz (Misc Battery tweaks enabled)

JP5 modem... interesting.
[Captivate Android Development] doreyu:
Been really curious about that modem, ever since seeing the description of it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9579987&postcount=11945

It says it's U.S. AT&T compatible, but no one mentions it on captivate forums, i'll give it a show tomorrow, thanks for your input!

edit: apparently the at&t compatibility is pretty bad
[Captivate Android Development] madmack:
just flashed bujp5, seems battery life is excellent on that one. however, my phone can't seem to connect to the 850mhz band on 3g. only 1900 :( (yes there is a star next to 850 in the settings, but #*#*0011*#*# always displays 1900 even though I usually get 850mhz in the basement where the 1900 MHz reception is minimal at best.
[Captivate Android Development] doreyu:
yeah i can only connect to 1900 as well, im in orlando so signal is usually pretty solid. i'll test it out for a day. i definitely got the best battery so far with KP1, but sometimes voice clarity would go down the drain, im looking at JL2 next
[Captivate Android Development] davwman:
I can vouch for jl2 always going back to it. Others are just as good but battery does well on jl2.

I've browsed this thread but am still confused. I'm on GR-12 which I understand has JK4. It's also my understanding that JK4 has 850 enabled. But when I try to get on the 850 band I get no signal.

So do you think it's because there is no 850 in my area or is something else wrong? Do I need to do the dance to go to KC1? Anybody in my area have any advice on what works for them?

Thanks

Added to OP, no 850
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
I say the modems in the op that don't have 850 should be removed the org point of this thread was for us captivate users to have a easer time finding modems that have 850 to use.

The other option I see is to say next to the modem tha tit either has or doesn't have 850
[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
I agree. The thread is titled "[Modems] - (Froyo & Gingerbread) -

WCDMA 850 enabled

"

Most likely the majority of the people here would like an option where there's a specification if 850 is able to be used or not (or if modem dance is required although shoman's sig serves that purpose already - but not everyone is willing to search for his sig).

Essentially though, it seems ideal that modems with 850MHz enabled by default should be highlighted and focused on.
[Captivate Android Development] eliminat:
I'd rather any modem that can have 850 MHz enabled remain, as even if they're not 850 default, with 850 enabled many of the modems work better than the 850 default ones.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
Then the title needs to be changed
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
I agree, the new ones that aren't 850 by default are excellent modems, I've had better results with JVO (not 850 by default) w/2.3.3 rom than my old favorite KC1 (850 by default) which was best while on 2.2.1 rom. I never would of had the chance to try if it wasn't posted.People just need to read and understand what they are doing before flashing. I'm glad to have such a convenient thread to find all these modems in one place, it's not hard to understand if you just read. Just my opinion. ;)

[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
How do you do the swap on cm 7?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Just make sure you are picking modems made for CM7 and then you flash them via cwm. There are many throughout this thread for CM7. Some may be in the OP but if you go to the page where this is listed you will see a paperclip in the title area. Click on it and it will bring up many of the files that have been uploaded here. Then look for CM7 in their titles and ddownload them.

[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
I think he's asking how to do the modem dance for modems that don't have 850MHz enabled by default but are capable.

You can't do modem dance since you can't view or change the bands. I've tried staying in an area with -110dBm or less to just switch through the bands and try to force the new GB ones on 850MHz but it fails.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:

The titltle says nothing of can
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I've had 850 enabled on all of the modems I've tested, and the title does say, "850 enabled", so by your "logic" they can stay - even if 850 isn't enabled by default.

Put another way, "The titltle says nothing of default." :D

[Captivate Android Development] kobik77:
Seems like I've managed to activate 850 band on cm7+jvk.

It was one try, so I can't tell of it's 100% a working method.

1. Went back to froyo using EZBASE

2. Flashed jl2

3. Selected 850 band from wcdma bands and then 2100 from combi bands

4. Flashed latest cm7 black nightly from 28.05 which already have jvk in it

5. Looked at my signal strength and it seems like I've got 850 band according to the signal strength as I know I usually have

I presume that EZBASE isn't mandatory for this procedure and every other rom should do the trick.

Same goes for jl2 modem, I believe that any other 850 modem should be fine.

If JV6 is a new modem, why does it have May 4th as the date (same as JVO)?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
That was the day it was made. It was made for a specific carrier.
[Captivate Android Development] :
JV6 first initial findings

Coming from JQ1 to JV6, wiping cache and dalvik with two reboots and verification in about phone that it is JV6 and that 850 is enabled...

Signal strength seems to be right on par with JQ1.

Call clarity is both loud and clear.

Data speeds seem to be slower on both ul/dl. I conducted several speed tests on JQ1 right before I switched and then conducted several speed tests after I flashed JV6. Even though the signal strength seemed to be the same, data speeds were consistently lower.

I have not had a chance to test standby, batter life or GPS yet.

I will continue to give JV6 more time to adjust and continue testing, then update here.

Again, this is my findings for my area. It may behave completely different for you in your area.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I flashed KC1, Onix, and Serendipity 6.4

I ran speed test and managed 4 mb/s using the Miami Beach, FL server.

I don't know why, but my speed is the highest I have ever had along with great battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] kobik77:
So, why are we getting jv3 instead of jv6?

Tried to flash the cm7.1 version.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Must be the CM7.1 zip then. I flashes the CWM2 file and it gave me JV6 no problem.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Did you try the link I posted under EDIT just a couple post ago? If not try it out and download again. For me after using it I am getting it to show JV6 in about phone now. I had downloaded the JV6 from the i9000 forum. The jv6 I downloaded from here showed up for me as JV3. So just try out the link I posted again as I corrected it (I hope, at least it did for me).
