How do you get these into CM7 format?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Download the modem file.

Use root explorer to the download location

With root explorer hold down on the file until a popup comes up. Hit EXTRACT ALL.

Next do the same thing with one of the modems made for CM7 (probably the one your using now) and EXTRACT ALL.

Next go to the extracted folder and first find the modem you are using now and click on it until you see modem.bin

Now hold down on the modem.bin file and then DELETE.

NOW go to the NEW modem file and click on it and possibly in an update file until you see the NEW modem.bin

Hold down on it and select COPY.

NEXT go back to the modem file you deleted the modem.bin file from and then paste the NEW modem.bin file in.

Then back out again to the extracted file and back to the modem file you JUST pasted into and hold down on it until the popup comes up and RENAME IT TO MATCH THE NEW MODEM YOU COPIED IN.

Back out again/go back to the modem file you pasted the NEW modem into again.

Long hold again until the popup comes on.

Scroll down until you see ZIP THIS FILE.

Then a popup will ask if you want to go to the zipped file location and choose yes.

Find the NEWLY NAMED/MADE modem file and long hold again and then choose copy.

Back out to the sdcard and PASTE.

REBOOT into recovery and choose pick zip

Then again say choose zip

Scroll down/up until you see your NEW modem file and click on it to install it.

Reboot phone and your golden.

IF THIS HELPED PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON.

[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
ooooooops.
[Captivate Android Development] jaxf250:
Well, for me anyway, this new modem may have unseated my KC1 under cm7. Call reception is much better in my area and up/down data speeds are almost as fast as KC1. It's the improved call quality that I really like. Will give it a few more days of testing to be certain. Battery life seems very decent, but I am running undervolted anyway. Sure doesn't seem any worse than KC1 at the moment.
[Captivate Android Development] kobik77:
For now BVJW2 signal strength seems to me on par as JJJV5 in my area.

Just flashed BVJW2 on Apex 8.2 and GPS seems to be the most stable for me. Data speeds are still crap (I live in the NYC area, so no surprise there) but calls seem to be loud and clear. I may have found a keeper here.
[Captivate Android Development] kobik77:
20% bat drop in few minutes can't be related to the modem whatsoever.

I just posted a voice clarity test for the JV5 and JW2. JV5 in my opinion has the best quality still.

[Captivate Android Development] jaxf250:
After a couple days of testing, I am going back to KC1 under CM7 for this reason: callers said I sounded scratchy when I spoke using the JW2 modem, and when I switched back to KC1, they said it was night and day better. So, I give up better signal strength but call quality is more impt. to me. Never got a definite feel for how much better or worse battery life was under JW2, but my seat of the pants feel leads me to say JW2 was sipping less juice than KC1 for my use.

I'll keep watching for the next new modem to test!
[Captivate Android Development] kobik77:
Have you tried JJJV5?
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
sigh.

Ok, East Coast Canadian here. Have been looking for a modem that has great GPS for our runs/walks. After reading through I saw JVQ and JJJV5 had some great results. JK4 is my default which is ok but lose GPS a lot. JVQ had fantastic GPS tracking but I only got 1 out of every 3-4 calls inbound. JJJV5 was great on battery but was worse for GPS than my JK4.

Anyone have any ideas for a CW3 I9000 modem like JVQ that will allow calls to come in?

Thx
[Captivate Android Development] Madtowndave:
Have you tried KC1?
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
Tried KC1 but transfer speed was really low, didn't get to try it out on gps but it is on standby. I saw the poll results and am currently trying UGJL2 and the data speed is +3x faster than any other i've had so far. So i'll try it out on GPS later on the weekend to see.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
The poll are outdated. But you can try the modem.
[Captivate Android Development] jaxf250:
Trying it again per your suggestion - will need a few days testing to see. First try of JJJV5 a few weeks back was not great due to sucky coverage where I live. Just installed a microcell yesterday so JJJV5 may work out for me now.

Hi, question for Bell users in Greater Vancouver, BC.

Hi, has anyone had any success getting any signal inside IKEA in Richmond, BC? I have tried JW2, JPG, JL2, JVK, JV5 and KC1 all without any luck. I know is very hard to get signal in the IKEA building, just want to know if anyone tried something else that I missed and actually worked. But so far, JV5 with 850 band enabled seems to be the best in terms of data speed and GPS locks and accuracy.

Thanks.

I'm on Rogers but since I'm from the same area, do try JW2. Some places you just won't get signal no matter what but strive for the one that works best overall at the majority of the time. Not one modem is going to be perfect, especially in a city with buildings all around you.
[Captivate Android Development] jack0131:
Hi, I have tried JW2. For me, overall performance will be JW2 > JV5 > KC1; Battery life will be KC1 > JW2 > JV5, but none of them is significantly better or worse than the others. For now I will test the JW2 for a bit, thanks for the input.

The 850 band is only available on certain i9000 models, I believe the T and the M. If you do not have the proper hardware, then an 850 capable modem will do you no good. It will work for you on your normal bands, but it won't receive on the 850 band.

JVR for CM7/MIUI here: http://db.tt/UpLECmq
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Yes this is a modem that can be used in the US. The 850Mhz band is faster for upload and downloads and less congested that the 1900Mhz band (depending on where you live, your mileage may vary.) Modems work good in some places and not so good in others. So trying.out many different modems for you area is the best way to see which works best for you. Remember that modems need to be paired with a type of kernel, i897 modem with a i897 based kernel, i9000 modem with i9000 based kernel. So if you are on Apex you need a i9000 based modem for it to properly work. Our Captivates DO HAVE the correct hardware to use the 850Mhz band.

As far as the modem dance you can read about it further, just check the OP for the link to the guide.
