"Best" GB modem for call stability in weak signal areas?

Anyone have any input? I'm running DG's Cog5 ROM (I897UCKF1) if it matters.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
The KF1 modem is working best for me. I live in kind of a rural area where I am on the WCDMA 850 Band most of the time. This modem was better for me than the KE3 or the KB1.

And it does matter as to what Kernel u are on, that is, I897 or I9000. U have to match the Kernels with the Modems--- I897 w/ I897 and I9000 w/ I9000.
[Captivate Android Development] dalewest:
Thanks for your feedback. The whole YMMV edict is true I guess. I had a real hard time keeping a signal yesterday in my house (and even on the back porch) on the same modem as you. KB1 has worked well for me in the past on I897, so perhaps I'll try that tonight.

[Captivate Android Development] Nucleartx:
Yes, didn't have to do the modem dance.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
It all depends on what modem you ate coning from
[Captivate Android Development] jjbarisax:
I am outside of portland oregon, maybe a similar area. The cell coverage is is spotty at best. I am fortunate to have a microcell in the house. When leaving the house, I can go from 4 bars to 1 very quickly.

My cappy has a JVP rom with Talondev 0.3.1 kernel. I was using the KC1 which was pretty good all around. I flashed JJJV5 and liked that as well. The voice clarity was clear, GPS ok, HSPA about 1400. I thought the voice clarity of JJJV5 was a better than KC1. I downloaded JVQ yesterday and like the voice quality a bit more than JJJV5. My speedtest numbers were about 10 percent higher as well. If your area is similar to mine I would recommend trying JJJV5 and JVQ, then pick the one that suites how you use the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
I cannot find the JVQ modem and the JVQ ROM I have the modem is about 12 meg. Do you have a link to download the JVQ modem?

Jjjv5 is probably the best modem for richmond hill and toronto. best speed, maybe not too great on stability on random spots, but gets a better signal than all modems I've tested.

Is there an i897uckb2 modem ??

I've read of a couple of people getting refurbs and they stated that they had uckb2 not 1. If someone would post the modem.bin I would greatly appreciate it.
[Captivate Android Development] stam91:
First modem I've encountered was stock JVK, it was medium-quality voice, rather well signal strength. Flashed JVH - awfully tiny voice, low (3-4 bars signal strength).

I've tried JVQ - nice voice, low 5% battery consuption, but weak GPS strength.

But the best one is JVO - perfect voice quality, steady GPS in all conditions, 7% battery. It's my choice for now.

In my case, I was very happy with JL2 for battery live, but find KP1 to be even better.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
They use jk4 on serendipity which I've been using. Good batt drain. Good speed. Horrible gps. Saw 4 locked 0. Went to jl2...great batt life, great speed, awesome gps. Saw 7, locked 7 withing 10 sec in my apt. Haven't tried it on the road yet. Still VERY happy with my switch.

With gps on this drained my battery big time. Also wouldn't lock while moving. Went back to jk4.

best modem i ever used was DXJPB 1900 band 2.
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
That modem doesn't seem to use 850 band at all.
[Captivate Android Development] davwman:
I retract my last reply about bvjjpd. Data speeds where I work are not consistent at all and I am currently using the modem at my house and its absolutely fine to use.

In addition bvjjpd seems to be a godsend for battery. Been running pandora for about 15 mins. On the train and its only dropped battery 1%. If I was using my all time favorite jl2 I would be down 3% by now.

My final post edit for this modem:

Battery and data are outstanding, but, when on a phone call with my wife, it was as if my mouth was covering the mic, according to her. She said voice became clearer when I pulled the phone away from my face. This is the same reason kp1 doesn't work for me either. Anyone know of a fix for this or is it a regional fault? I know there are few on this forum that have had success with kp1.
[Captivate Android Development] r.iqbal87:
Team komin has the gt-9000 xxjpm modem up on their site im using it now, so far, jl2 still seems better.
[Captivate Android Development] davwman:
Better in what respect? Battery, speed, voice quality?
[Captivate Android Development] r.iqbal87:
Well, in terms of signal, jl2 is far more reliable. The JPM modem well have very dynamic signal reception, meaning it will have strong signal one second and the next barely any. Battery life is pretty bad, 10 percent drain in that last 20 minutes, just from using tapatalk. GPS, is pretty lousy, very inaccurate, etc. Hears the link to the download

http://www.teamkomin.com/content/modems

After a little research, it seems like its a pretty old modem actually, but regardless i havent seen anyone mention it in this thread so i thought id still offer my two cents.

On the good side, The T959TLJL3 has been the best all around modem. Great GPS, moving or stationary. It does seem to change between 850 & 1900, depending on the phone position, when running *#0011#. My only complaint is from people on the other end.

On CM7 nightlies using jjj5 and get the best signal bars in So Cal for me. I now usually have the H and at least 1 bar where before inside of my work I had NO SIGNAL. As far as download and upload speeds using Speed Test it is about the same speeds as jk4 which has always been my go to modem. I have tried almost all of them and the modems I now keep on my sdcard are jk4, jjj5, and tubjv6. Again for me at least this is the order of MY best three: jjj5, tubjv6, jk4. tubb6 actually gives me the best up/download speeds, but jjj5 beats signal inside of my work so I have seen slightly better battery life while at work. (I never turn of data so it goes quicker on the days I work than when I am at home). Jk4 is always a good choice though and only RECENTLY got edged out by these other two.

[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
I'm in So Cal as well and I see the same thing. For me its JJJV5 and JVQ, gps is important for me cause most often i either find addresses on my phone or google maps on computer and star them then just use my phone for navi. JVQ holds the position much better than JJJV5. JJJV5 tends to lose a tight lock very easily where in alittle bit of testing JVQ is MUCH better at holding tight.

Speeds are about the same on both. Battery on JVQ when really not touching it is INCREDIBLE! Just started a job so dont play with my phone as much. I must work in a really strong signal area cause I lose maybe 1% an hour if that when going long stretches in sleep.
[Captivate Android Development] melbourne408:
Haha completely agree with the JVQ lock to JJV5, seems like it still stays true in nor cal. For me inside calls up JVQ and outdoors JJV5, download speed with JVQ is amazing, JJV5 winning though with the balance of both worlds.

Does jqv need to do the modem dance? When I do *#2263# I see both 1900 and 850 active (starred) under wcdma bands
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
You mean JVQ right? No it does not, the modem dance is only if you cannot get 850 to become active or starred.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Actually it depends on what modem you are coming from. If you are on an i9000 modem that has 850 by default, then you don't need to..... you you already have a non default 850 modem with 850 working... then you don’t need the dance.
[Captivate Android Development] bitnerd:
Yeah, sorry, meant jvq.

I came from jk4 and right now it looks like 850 is active based on what I see on the wcdma menu

Thanks. I just want to turn on the full capabilities so I can give jvq a real world test in my area
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
If you go back a few screens and go to basic info.it will tell you just what frequency your on.
[Captivate Android Development] bitnerd:
But isn't that the frequency that it's currently using out of all those that are available? Since the wcdma screen shows them all started that's what I was assuming
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
We need a mod to remove the poll at the top.

I'm still finding JK4 to be the best modem in Toronto data speed and signal reception wise. GPS I rarely use..
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
From what I gather a star just means the modem is capable of connecting to that frequency if they network allows but dont hold me to it. If you want to know the frequency your connected it do what I said or the code is *#0011#.

Im in orange county and am currently on jvq.
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
I have noticed that 850 only yields a stronger signal than when on 1900. As such it should be better on battery because the phone has to use less power to hunt and hold on to service. But that could just be my area. With my combination I have been very pleased with the stand by time, of course using the phone not so much but what can you do about that of ya gotta use it ya gotta use it.

I'm in the NYC metro area and JV6 that came with Serendipity 7 is pretty decent, especially with battery life.

That worked really well indoors and out for me when I was running an i9000 Rom.

No modem dance needed.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
I am no app developer but I had this idea to make an app that watches the modem and logs how many times it will switch bands. For example H to 3g then back to H. Or even down to edge. Next if possible, grab a GPS position to plot signal strength on a map.

This way the community will be informed about which modems work best in a particular area.
