Look for the modems that have a CM7 next to them. Those are for MIUI and cyanogen mod

[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
That link is for best modem for your location. I just need to know if modems that are specific for the captivate work for MIUI or just i9000 .. but ill assume by u mentioning that if it says CM7 next to it, it shouldnt matter, as long as its in the filename its good
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
You have to choose the menu tab in the top right corner to see a listkng of the modems for your phone. There split up by miui/cm7, sgh-i897, and so on

So I have an i9000 kernal and am trying out the Rogers kh2 modem that was posted. I assume its an 897 modem so what bad things should I expect?

Im getting fantastic signal gps and speed. Not missing ir dropping calls in my office like jk4 was. Jk4 WAS the best for me until this one.

Things I have noticed. Calls are LOUD. Almost have to have the volume all the way down. Custom ringtones per person seem to only work once and then it is always the default one.

Im in saint john new brunswick canada so any other modem suggestions would be great for an i9k kernal.

Thx

[Captivate Android Development] ZionExpress:
Just a quick note here. I have started testing out KG3 in the NH seacoast area and so far its speeds blow away JK4! I am getting 3mbps down with KG3 and i was only getting 2-2.5mbps with JK4. I am in an area with good coverage and i will test it out in the boonies tonight to see how well i can hold onto a signal.

So far, though, this thing is solid.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I'll be very interested to hear your test results, I spend a lot of time over in Lebanon, Maine and Rochester, NH. JK4 works, but I'm wondering if KG3 might be a bit better. How is the GPS with it?
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
KG3 is my favourite modem as well.

In fact, what I've noticed is that the Aries series modems work the best--no question about this--and they get marginally better with each revision.

EDIT: Haven't updated my SIG in a while, but everything's the same except the modem I think.

[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
I think your talking i897 modem so this may be a moot point but...from the i9000 side might I suggest tdvjp9 for you in NH. I was in Nassuah, NH when that came out so I threw it on. Was consistently seeing 3-3.5down bout 1.5-2up and on 1900 band no less! I'm pretty positive it was loaded when I saw 5.3 down in Boston Logan Airport! Yes 5.3 :O. Now mind you I was right in front of a huge glass wall so reception was excellent but still. And GPS was very good when I used it. It was my mainstay for quite sometime. I think I might just install it now. But I'm in Southern California now so anything I find would be pretty moot.

Give it a shot!
[Captivate Android Development] ZionExpress:
Thanks for the tip! Once i've finished testing KG3 i'll give JP9 a try.

Just to be clear, do i need to do the modem dance every time i change? NH doesn't have very good 850 coverage, its mostly 1900 (See http://www.cellguru.net/nh_coverage.htm), and from what i understand you only really need to do the modem dance if you want 850 band. Does it make sense for me to go through the trouble?
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
It depends on what modem you use. Jp9 doesn't need it but others do I don't know what those are though. Just going to have to load a modem and find out.
[Captivate Android Development] ZionExpress:
Is it a matter of a modem working or not working? How will i know if i need to do the dance? Do i just have worse performance if i didn't do it when i should have?
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
This is about battery use on the Miui rom running on a Captivate. I'd think battery being used by voice calls is related to using a modem which is not specifically for the Captivate. I know there are Froyo 2.2 modems but I don't recall if those work on Miui 2.3.x.

I am using CM 7.1 RC with Glitch Kernel. I live in Jacksonville, Florida and I cannot use any modem other than JL3/JK4. Every other CM7 modem I try to flash, either I get 'No Service' or it sits at 'G' symbol with barely any download/upload speeds.

I am wondering how everybody else are able to use other CM7 modems on their captivates. Am I missing any procedure during flashing the other modems?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
You're not missing anything, as long as the modem/radio you're flashing is an 850 MHz by default you just flash it. Have you tried tubjv6, or jw2?

Thanks for the reply.

How do I know which modems/radios are 850 MHz by default? Can you please let me know if JV5 and KG3 are 850 MHz by default? I would like to try them to see if I can get the better signal strength and speeds.

I live south of you & had no issues using the stock JL3. I recently just started using the KK2 modem. I will see how it goes. I am using CM7 #178 nightly. Have you considered trying the nightlies instead of RC?
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
Yes they are. I kind of agree with the post above mine. I would suggest a flash to stock (Bootloader Free), master clear, then flash the latest CM7 nightly, to see if that fixes the problem. I'm not sure its a modem problem, it could be a bad flash/download. Just my thoughts!

I'm having an issue after flashing modems.

On Fasty3 v1.3, KK4 kernel, KC1 modem currently.

I can't hear any calls incoming, or hear voicemail. This is happening on any modem I flash. When I first flashed Fasty, I was able to hear incoming calls & voicemail, but now I can't hear anything on any modem.

When I check the baseband version under settings it never changes, still the vibrant radio. What can I do to change it?

[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
Forgive my ignorance. What is dalvik cache? And what does it have to do with battery life?
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
When Android starts up, the DalvikVM looks thru all of your applications (.apk files) and frameworks, and builds a tree of dependencies. It uses this dependency tree to optimize the bytecode for every application and stores it in the Dalvik cache. The applications are then run using the optimized bytecode. This is why when you install a new ROM, sometimes it takes a very long time to boot for the first time. Any time an application (or framework library) changes, it's reoptimized and the cache is updated.

SGH-i897| Serendipity 5.9 | Speedmod K13b | JK4
[Captivate Android Development] mgfjd:
Dalvik Cache is created when the phone boots for the first time.. Programs, Rom, and radio are mixed to work together. To delete Dalvik cache you need to go into recovery and search for wipe dalvik cache. Your phone would take a long time to start the first time but you should not have any issues with your modem after that..
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
You can definitely force 850Mhz if you want to. I haven't had a single problem letting it automatically choose what band to use. I mean, I live in a coverage-saturated area (peninsula ftw!) but there are dead spots due to elevation and development, and JL3 has NEVER failed me.

I mean, not to be argumentative, but the data speeds on this modem are PHENOMENAL :)
[Captivate Android Development] mgfjd:
The internet speed and ping times are great with tljl3.. I watched my phone all day at my office waiting to camp at 850 which is a stronger signal than 1900. the phone did camp at 850 but nothing compared to jk4, ugjl2, knp1. the modem tends to favor 1900 a little more than 850.

[Captivate Android Development] Ikonomi:
Has anyone experienced problems with wifi using JK4? For some reason, with JK4 my home internet connection feels very laggy, even though Speed Test reports latency and connection speed to be normal. Browser requests would time out, and Speed Test would take a very long time to start. This persisted through a reboot. Flashed back to KP1 and everything worked as normal again. Checked out my network and internet using other devices and everything was normal.

Does the modem have an effect on the wifi subsystem? Maybe this was just a bad flash? I've used JK4 before, but never on wifi.

With the latest gps fixes about they both lock on very quickly but that s where it ends for me really,.as well as many other captivate owners I'm sure. while moving it doesn't stay locked and while sitting in my apt they both claim,.or the phone claims im going 26mph. I'm just ordering a cheap gps bt receiver to carry on my key chain. I hear very good things about the 20 dollar models. Never losing lock, stable on the highways.

Well... this modem just rocks.... It takes a touch longer than JK4 for lock in GPS... but the coverage it has with an 850/1900mhz tower system is great. It switch when its suppose to and has excellent poor coverage strenght. No facts on battery life but its on par with JK4 at the moment.
