I installed the new jp9 the other day. today almost all idle, but I have at 90% battery left and over 7 hours since charged. I am liking this modem.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Could someone remind me how to change network aquisition? Mine is set on 3 umts->gsm. Iwould think automatic would be better. Thoughts?

Sent from a place my wife doesn't know about (yet)
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
That's correct. Options are umts then gsm or the other way around for acquisition unless you mean band selection which is *#2263#
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
No, not *#2263#. I started at*#0011#, then just kept digging from there. I noticed my network acquisition wasnt set to automatic.

No luck trying to change it.

[Captivate Android Development] iXNyNe:
i'll provide some background and then info about my experiences with a few modems

none of this is in any way technical data, just reporting - also it has been some weeks since i tested some of these so a bit of this will be memory and some conditions may have changed - the flashing method has been applied as recommended for modems requiring it

where i live there is only edge coverage, gsm 850 band, no gsm 1900 and no wcdma at all, where i work there is gsm and wcdma coverage for both 850 and 1900, so at work i have few issues either way, also just near me in another direction is a small town where only some kinds of reception are available on certain frequencies, some modems seem to camp just fine others seem to default to roaming - for simplicity sake below i will refer to this place as small

modem_bvjjpd.zip

only used for flashing method so i have nothing to report other than 850 gsm works at home

modem_bvjjpg.zip

same as above

it should also be noted that since the flashing method is meant to be performed while in an area with wcdma 850 coverage and i do not have that at home i modify the flashing method by adding one step

after flashing jk4 and setting wcdma 850 i go into combi bands and also set gsm 850 and then continue with the process

that little hint may also help others who try to flash while on edge

im noticing the aries based modems all seem to roam in the small town while the non aries modems do not

again none of this information is meant to be technical reporting and it's all been rather informal testing (just casually noticing things while using modems)

my main goal is battery life so i've opted to stick with jq1 for the time being as kc1 was very disappointing

I'm at 14h 17mins with 81% left about 40 mins in calls and 30 mins display using 3g data (xda, chess, facebook mostly) and a few texts, the rest idle. I am very pleased with this. I use my phone more heavily in week days but pretty much the same usage patterns everyday, I got home thrusday and friday night and went to sleep with 63% and 52% respectively after 15 hours, where I usually turn in at 25 - 35 %
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
After all the good about JP9 I decided to load it in.... I'm on vacation but seems I can't get away. LOL

I just loaded it tonight so we'll see how it goes. I'm in Florida now so it kinda sucks that I have no baseline. So I won't be forming any real opinions until I get home. But so far it is definately not as fast as JVK but it does LOVE staying on 850... I am liking that as here in Florida the signals are very jumpy and it was changing ALOT between 1900 and 850. But last night while using mobileAP with my laptop I was seeing 4.5mpbs on DL and 1.3mbps on UL. <-JVK

Tonight I'm seeing 3.5mbps on DL and 1.1mbps on UL On JP9. Ping is really low at 110ms.

Until next time.

hey shoman cai i actually use a froyo modem in eclair rom?

Just a question to first post:

It says: I9000TUBJP9 (Froyo) -> isn't it actually I9000TUBJP9 (Froyo)?

It says: I9000BVJJPG (Froyo) -> isn't it actually I9000BVJJPG (Froyo)?

Sorry, but what's the question??

[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:

[Captivate Android Development] .:Crack:.:
Aren't the modems for i9000 Brasil and i9000T?
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
Personally, I'm uncertain of the prefixes ,TUBand BVJ but I know that the i9000t (they're for telstra, where I live) and i9000b (for brazil ) are both some of the few models of i9000 that are native to 850mhz wcdma.

That makes them particularly useful to us as we don't have to use the bridge modem, jjpd..... (not that that's a big deal)

So...... The i9000 modems we use are from a variety of countries and some of wich are designed to be used with the 900mhz band so we need to force them to cooperate with our need for 850mhz. (thank you shoman 94}

But they all work, and so long as you're using a i9000 kernel you can extract and use any i9000 modem you wish...

Hope that some of that blah blah answered your question....

:)

Sent from a fire fly's abdomen using morse code
[Captivate Android Development] {Angel}:
Yes. The T and B are part of the model name. I9000B is for Brazil but other latin american countries also carry it. I9000T is for Telcel (Mexico and latin america) but also used by Telstra (Australia). I9000M is for Canada. They all have support for the 850 band as opposed to 900 used in Europe. They are all pretty much identical as far I as know with the exception of I9000B which carries a TV tuner and at least the T model has 8 GB internal SD storage, not sure of the others. The UG modems are for the I9000M variant.

These modems are interchangeable amongst the 850 Galaxy variants including captivate as long as you use a i9000 kernel and you will keep the 850 band. You can flash an i9000 modem but you will loose the 850 band, with the exception of at least some i9000 modems that can be tricked and forced to use the 850 band.

Hope that clears things up a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] markmunsch:
Hey quick question, how did y'all get the JB9 modem working? I tried downloading the file from a post awhile back from {Angel} and it downloaded fine, but it hung on install on my Captivate, had to pull the battery and I ended up just reflashing UBKC1 again. Did I have a bad download or did my phone just not like it?

EDIT: Wow I feel dumb now, I see it is now in the OP...I must have missed it that day I was looking around for it. Sorry for the lack of reading.
[Captivate Android Development] {Angel}:
Yeah I posted the file twice. The second one is the correct one and it's the one you will find in the OP. My bad.

I edited the original post so the link now points to the correct file in case anybody stumbles on the post and downloads from there instead of OP.
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
Something weired happened to me last nite. I went through a known short weak/dead spot. I ended up being stuck on edge. Well when i got to town, which has great service, i toggled airplane mode. It went to no service. I then rebooted the phone, no service. While standing in the exact same spot i flashed jp9. Bam full service for the rest of the night. The modem that did this was jk4 and ive never had a problem with it before so im baffled.
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
I had pretty much the same situation. I've found: jjpd (noticed this during the flashing trick), jjpg, and jp9 to be the only ones to give me full bars in my house.

Jp9 seems to switch bands better than jjpg. Located in northwestern u.s.
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
Yea but jk4 has nothing to do with any of them
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
I'm curious why some of the modems from here are left out from the OP, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11256537&postcount=2
[Captivate Android Development] mgfjd:
I tested JVK and I can not recommend this modem.. It is fast, good battery but it is too aggressive during phone calls.. It drops too many calls when the network is loaded... my Iphone friends laughed at me trying to keep phone calls. Back to JK4 but liking KC1.. I will try KC1 in the same spot where I do my testing.

I live near by a mall so during peak hours testing I can tell which modems can keep a cal.l I am not worry about GPS or Data.
[Captivate Android Development] devz3r0:
Because I have only been adding modems that have the WCDMA 850 band. If you have the time to test a modem out that isn't posted and find that it does, message me and I will add it.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
Best Modem

Is JL2 the best modem for a captivate on Phoenix Unleashed

DATA is my main use
[Captivate Android Development] kb9nvh:
I'm off of KC1 and back to JK4. KC1 was wonderful at sticking with a tower no matter what which really helps in spotty areas but its stubborness resulted in no super poor coverage while driving through the country where I can normally talk most of the way. Back to jumpy JK4 (but seems the best compromise)
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
If data speeds is what you're after i'd recomend trying jvk,.... for me it gives the most stable speeds, almost never below 1down 1up .... with good signal in the evening 4.5 / 3.5 is common. jpg and jq1 were good for me also.

but it's definitely worth trying a few out as alot of variables are involved. locale/carrier/phone with personality... etc.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
I found JQ1 to be good on switching to a better band if one band is worse. The other day i didnt realize i had lost the 850 band bc i had flashed KC1 and going back to Jq1 made me lose 850. I ended up redoing the tests and automatically it switched to 850 in the same area i was at. From 1 bar to 3 bars in the same spot I was sitting
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
JP9 seems to be pretty good with reception and switching. UL & DL speeds are about average, but ping time is lower (better) than with the last few modems I've tried.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Ive gotten to the point where the data speeds arent as important to me anymore. I just need to have service and need to have good battery life. One thing that I hate the most is seeing the damn H switch over to 3g and vice versa -- that bugs the **** out of me! I might actually try out JP9 since JQ1 has been decent. Ima need a good modem when I am in San Antonio later in the week. good thing that all the modems are in my phone so I can flash at all times to cathca good one! :)

btw is jp9 default 850 or need to do the trick
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
JP9 Defaults 850

Every modem does the little 3g/H quick switch happens with every modem. If you don't like it... Change your rom from displaying H.
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
thats how i feel. i just want good signal, consistent data, and good battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Then flash XXJVK and be done with it. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
i tried jvk and didnt see it to be better really. im trying jq1 right now. since im already on jq1 i can just flash jvk and retain 850 right? i want a decent standby drain and one that doesnt make my battery plummet during use.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Yes... flashing JVK will retain 850 if your already have it with JQ1.

I find it to be very good in all aspects.
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
Is there any special sequence to flash to JVK from KC1 ,or just flash it?
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
If im not mistake JQ1 had a similar process as JVK and I lost 850 going from KC1 to JQ1, so I will pretty much have to say the trick is needed
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
if you haven't used jjpd and the method described in shoman's sig then you'll need to... i've only need it once and have been back and forth between native 850's and non850's but some people need to do it again .

+1 on jvk i find it's the best all around...

edit, tooo slow.. but yeah there are different results for no obvious reason, may as well keep jjpd on your card just in case .......
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Well... I've gone from KC1 to JVK and others a few times.... its a weird modem(KC1). You have to use the sequence in my sig but I've tried starting with KC1 and it would work at first then after a few reboots I would notice that I would lose 850.... so that being said.... I recommend you flash to UGJL2 and start there. Again the procedure is in the sig.
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
Thanks for the help : D
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
i start with jk4 but it still works
[Captivate Android Development] {Angel}:
I would recommend you try out JP9.
[Captivate Android Development] Nucleartx:
Just got the same speedtest results from JVK and JP9 same location, so far its on par on speeds. Will test speeds plus battery and voice quality for 24 hours and see if it is the same....
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
So i tried it overnight and I lost about 4-5 % in 4 hrs and thats going from 100% to 95% and usually around that high its a little weirder in batter % drop. Also the data speeds are pretty sweet. First initial speedtest got me 4.93/0.44 -- and then later on I did it again and got 5.73/1.23 -- my highest upload i got was 1.68 too. As usual seems at my job I tend to lose more battery on idle then anywhere else
[Captivate Android Development] sicmadek:
Jp9 is at the top of my lisr. I keep it on my sd so i can flash it anytime.
[Captivate Android Development] {Angel}:
I find that when leaving the phone idle at 100% the phone will drop about 2% rather quickly before stabalizing, might be due to the fact that the battery is never really at 100%, if i charge with the phone on it actually drops to 98 almost immediately after unplug.

With jp9 on my phone I am seeing at most a 1% drop these days while I sleep from 7 hours idle with 3g on and 1 gmail account syncing.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Yea thats why i figured when i woke up at 95/96% after 4 hours that I barely lost anything and thats something I love to see! Now my best bet would be to do this when my battery is already at like 90% and see how it goes from there!

At work tho on Idle my phone doesnt work the same way lol. If i tell you that where Im sitting, if i put my phone about 6 inches to the right of me i have 850 and if i put it 6 inches to the right of me it switches to 1900 and always plays bw 3/4 bars each side.
[Captivate Android Development] {Angel}:
Thats probably why you see the difference in your office, spotty coverage.
[Captivate Android Development] chase10784:
For those that are using JP9 how would you compare call quality to modems like JQ1 (currently using) or KC1? I dont care much about data and whatever just i like to have good battery, good signal and good call quality. and not entire sure if this was said previously does it require the trick?
[Captivate Android Development] psloan:
jp9. Not used a lot for calling, but no complaints.

For me, granted not a lot of use on it. Something like, get email from 2 accounts. 20 minute call time. sms messges, tweedeck messages, downloading corp email. 1.5 hours of podcast listening, 1 hour of pandora. bluetooth headset on for 2.5 hours. currently at 37% battery left and 24h's since last plugged in.

[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Ive come to realize that for me to get a long lasting battery like say you get is if im not at work lol I could do all you do and get maybe 10-12 hours if lucky
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
I was out of town in New Hampshire Thursday to Sunday and was in an area where I could get wcdma 1900 but not 850. Using JP9, I was seeing speeds consistantly around 2Mbps down all day long sometimes 3. I was sitting in Boston Logan Airport yesterday at noon and was getting 3Mbps no problem and as high as 5.23 Mbps Down. On voice at home in Southern Cali on speakerphone my family said it sounded very clear. But for some reason at home its favoring 1900 I have to force 850. It could just be my area though.

I have found jvk to be the best for data. It has the least variation in speeds between weak /strong signal and busy network/middle of the night.

@mcmac7 nice... I thought since I'm using that very network I should put it to the test.... and wow only just put it on but it's on par with jvk so far with data speed and had 5-7 less dbms in the same spot a few minutes apart...

plus the fastest gps locks i've seen personally, like 10 meters in 5 seconds....

so i'll keep on this one for a while and come back with some more well rounded testing....

Yes, it is absolutely worth switching.... I'm on telstra and I've been getting better and better results with the newer modems.

All should know that telstra (for whom the DVJP9 was made)

Does not use 1900mhz so I'm not sure but that could effect your ability to switch when needed...

I'd be interested to know but can't test that theory myself.

Yeah, my ping is slow as well, but it had been for a few days on jvk so......???
