Is it possible for an hsdpa device to be upgraged to 4g?
[Captivate Android Development] eliminat:
No. it requires different hardware.
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
Its a hardware limitation from what I've read. So you might as well.buy a new phone if you want 4g
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
No. It's different hardware. Also under what the market call 4G it's a lot of different variants. Like HSDPA+ (T-Mobile - AT&T), LTE (Verizon - AT&T near future) and WiMax (Sprint).
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
Not to mention the fact that none of these current technologies can meet the 4G spec as it has been defined. Verizon is the closest but they are still a long way's away. They are all pretty much 3G+
[Captivate Android Development] dan_maran:
You sir get a thank you. I hate when they call it 4G it's frigging 3G+[/OT]
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
If the ITC redefined 4G to what it is today, then technically they aren't doing any harm by advertising their network as 4G now. Before it was blasphemy.

i have KG3 on mexican I9000T, data signal is really strong but it consumes a little bit more battery than JW3.
[Captivate Android Development] edgarpoe:
Hmmm, is there any other (newer) modems that run 850 other than KG3?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Easy answer Yes. First if you look in the OP you will see the modems listed for the year or something they came out in. Also you can open xda from a browser, go to the captivate section, go to development section, you will see this thread at the top as a sticky thread. Click on the paperclip (without opening up the post) and a popup will come up with all the attachments listed. Then you can find any of the newer modems there. I like the listed below for me that have worked great. You can download them all and try them all out.

TUBJV6

JJJV5

JJW2

XXJVR

There are others but for me and my location these seem to work really well.

[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
Yes, JV6 does connect to 850. I'm running Apex 9.1 and battery life with KG3 is great. When the phone is idle, battery drains at about 1% an hour. I've had other modems drain at 1% every 15-20min on idle. From my experience, JV6 and KG3 have the best battery life. KG3 has better call clarity, and can hold a very steady data stream. JV6 has better reception, and faster downloading speeds; but you lose out on voice quality and data connection. Both are great modems and you really can't go wrong with either of them.
[Captivate Android Development] dan_maran:
Just a few Speed tests with KG3 on apex 9.1 and the results were very good. The data usually fluctuates a lot at my location but so far it has been very steady over a few runs. Below is an example:

[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
To me, redefining the spec is a sad excuse to allow carriers to gloat better without really innovating anything. The only way the carriers and manufacturers are going to work harder to meet specs is if they are actually a challenge. Science and engineering are amazing but if no one pushes for better technology, it will never happen.

the codes for the dialer do not work for CM7 fyi...
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
If I remember correctly 850 should have faster speeds although keeping it on auto is better for a number of reasons. H or HSPA is a faster transfer rate than 3G so you'll want to leave that on.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I have not tried to ACTUALLY make any changes but someone else on the biffmod thread posted some dialer numbers that you can change the bands. I asked him and he said they do actually change. It was the first time I have EVER seen any dialer numbers that seemed to do something in CM7. Again I ONLY used the dialer numbers to see where and how it opens up the bands and did not attempt to make any changes.
[Captivate Android Development] eliminat:
850 and 1900 don't make a difference in speed by themselves. Where I work I get much better speed on 1900, at home on 850.
[Captivate Android Development] starche_old:
Thanks a lot for that trick.

But I wonder if there's any way to setup WCDMA850 specifically rather then "USA Band"...
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
Thx for the link!! Often wondered and searched for it, but never found it.. Can anyone clarify whether or not the modem dance is necessary when flashing JVP?
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
I still dont understand the reason for the modem dance. Does it allow the modem to operate between 850/1900 depending on what the strongest signal is at the time?

"Also if you don't have 850mhz and don't give a crap about 850mhz, then don't do this." How do I tell if i 'have 850mhz'?

"Boot into recovery and flash (BVJJPD or BVJJPG)" Why one of those 2? And where can one of those be found. Is one better than the other?

Thanks, also sorry for the noob questions. Cant find much info to read about this.
[Captivate Android Development] rschenck:
The modem dance can force some modems to support 850, but your HARDWARE must support it first.

I think the only i9000 models that support 850 band are i9000T and M...but I could be forgetting one.

Can't Switch to WCDMA 850 Band

Hello all,

I am having trouble switching to the WCDMA 850 band. I am currently on the 1900 Band 2. I have followed the instructions multiple times, but every time I select to use the "[5] WCDMA 850 (FDD V)" band, nothing happens. I tap it, but no settings changed and no confirmation is given. I have checked and I am still running the 1900 band. Is it an absolute must if I am changing to a different modem? I am running Serendipity VII and is it possible the modem that come with it just doesn't support it?

Thank you very much!

FIXED! Just flashed JK4 and I am now on WCDMA 850 Band 5. We are all good!

I was looking through all the different attachments on this thread trying to get the JV5 and JVR modems and I notice there is more then one JV5. Three to be exact with different file sizes. All CWM3.

ZSJV5 @ 4.07 MB

JJJV5 @ 4.05 MB

And judging by the views JJJV5 is the most downloaded followed by NEJV5 with ZSJV5 in last place. I'm curious to know if there's really that much -- if any -- performance difference between the three or if they're all pretty much the same?

Replacing modem on Captivate

Currently I have kernel :2.6.32.9 hardcore@speedmod-I897-k13E-500hz #32

with rom: Pilotx v4.0 final XWJS8

(android 2.2.1)

Modem is: I9000XXJQ1.

I'm a bit confused by the comment made at the top of this thread:

"A I9000 based kernel (reoriented) is required for the I9000 modems to be usable on the Captivate"

Is my kernel I897 based or I9000 reoriented ?

The current modem is I9000 based for sure. so how come it works on what appears to be a I897 based kernel ?
[Captivate Android Development] iXNyNe:
If GPS is good why not stay on jvr? Is voice/data/battery bad on jvr?

I just moved to western Kentucky and haven't tested too many modems here, but when I was in Reno NV jvr worked pretty well (nothing special) but seemed to be a bit of a battery hog, in north east Pennsylvania jvr had amazing data speeds but also seemed to be a battery hog. I'm assuming you get similar results here in ky?

Kc1 seems pretty well rounded to me, GPS works decent (could be better), kg3 is kind of disappointing (poor battery life and gps). I'm going to give jw2 a try.
[Captivate Android Development] mystichobo:
Hey guys, any recommendations for a modem to use on telstra (australia)?

[Captivate Android Development] kalda01:
Any way to verify the kernel is I9000 based so I don't brick the phone

with a wrong modem ?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Installing a modem will NOT soft brick or hard brick your phone. If your on an i897 based rom and install an i9000 based modem you will have faster data but NO calls will work and the baseband will show UNKNOWN. Likewise if your on a i9000 based rom made for the captivate and you install a i897 modem you will just have static. Flashing Modems will NOT brick your phone. If it doesn't work you just flash a different modem until you find one that works with your phone and the area your in. Also the kernel you are trying to use is i9000 reoriented to work on the captivate. I am guessing that you are using that kernel to install CM7? If so don't worry about the modem right now as in once you flash that kernel, then flash CM7 it will install a modem at that time. Then you can find any CM7 compatible modem to try out to find which is better in your area. If you are just installing that kernel for a froyo based rom then just follow instructions and install the kernel and some roms/most roms will give you a modem anyways. Again flashing a modem will NOT brick your phone in any matter.
