No modem will fix that issue. Its an AT&T limitation. I disabled HSPA all together on mine cause it did the same thing. After disabling I also dont have the 50% signal loss issue. Read this article on engadget. http://tinyurl.com/4gjwfrj

I think what most folks want when they say fully functional voice dialing is 100% hands free dialing. Vlingo is not fully hands free, Choice Dialer is somewhat better, but voice recognition is not great. This is one area blackberry beats android to the max. one tap on the bluetooth headset, and it recognizes my voice about 95% of the time. Choice Dialer only supports a few bluetooth devices fully, so I would have to get a new earpiece.

I used it safely when I was overclocked at 1200 with the default kernel, but I have not tried it fully since switching to the 1300. Did it briefly yesterday and opened four web pages to test and it froze up. Not sure if it was the mount or the the OC/UV... more testing needed.

It does give better performance, snappier. The quadrant, and smartbench are higher with fast mount as well. Quad went from 1500s to 1800s. I know the test aren't reliable against other phones, but they are good for measuring your own internal adjustments.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
Did you figure out the Google Voice issue? Had the same problem
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
Just tested with and without HSPA on. Speed the same. Disabling HSPA now to see if battery life is better. Is HSPA geographical or is it available where ever 3G is?
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
I tried it this morning so far I haven't experienced unstable issues and my quadrant jumps to 2060 from 1800+(highest score with safe mount) seems it increases data read and write. You are right it is snappier but I just reverted back to safer mount to be safe because I still don't know if it could cause data loss. I tried googling and scouring thru forums but I couldn't find any deep explanations regarding faster mount, anyway you cannot tell the difference when you are just browsing your phone even with safer mount it is still fast. tnx

Edit: seems I can still push quadrant to 2258 with faster mount but the downside is, it is a battery hog 1 hour of internet browsing and benchmarking and I'm down to 78% which with safer mount still 90% remain from a full charge.

[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
thanks for the tip.

it mentions upload, but does anyone know if download is affected?

with HSDPA i usually see ~3-5Mbps.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
I dob't get it... So even if it says H we're not really using HSDPA?

And I'm not seeing the option to lock it to 3g.. just change between 2g and 3g...
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
battery drain...

yikes, suddenly my battery is losing ~1pt every ~10min.

i've cleared bat stats, and dalvik cache, and confirmed wifi/bluetooth, etc is disabled. stand-by seems to be consuming more than usual, ~20%. i've read other posts mentioning gsm/hsdpa toggeling is a possible cause, that is, the phone can't stay on either protocal, so spends energy getting a fix on each.

anyone else seeing this? anyone else with a well informed opinion?
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
That's what I'm asking in the post above. I'd like to turn HSPA off too, since my phone is constantly back and forth. Sometimes i can sit there and watch it change ever 3-5 seconds, those are also the times that Pandora starts screwing up..

I know how to switch it to just using 2g (edge), but can't find the setting to lock it to 3g instead of searching for HS(D/U)PA...
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
You may experience faster battery drain the first few days after flash. Give it a week or so. I get 15 hours of use regularly during the day and I use pandora for more than an hour every day. Where I work I've let my pandora run for 5-8 hours and usually lose around 30%-40% of battery.

I also noticed I only dropped four percent over night (8 hours).

That's how you toggle 2g/3g. Like i said, I know how to do that... I am trying to find out how to make it stay on 3g and not try to go to HSPA.
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
You do that by selecting the 2g (gsm) option instead on auto mode which will search. I'm giving you the right instructions here. I also know thats how you toggle 2g and 3g. selecting a mode other than auto or wcdma will disable the modes that are not selected. Get it? Otherwise your not asking the right question.

[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
No, i'm asking the right question... I don't think i can dumbify that question any further than it is, or explain myself any better, but I'll try.

I KNOW HOW TO TOGGLE 2G/3G. I want to use ONLY 3G and NOT HSPA. The internet icon in my phone keeps going from 3G to H and back to 3G then H again. I want it to STAY IN 3G. And NOT go to H EVER.

I DO NOT want to use 2G instead of 3G. I just want it to quit switching FROM 3G to HSPA.

I'll wait for somebody that can comprehend what I wrote.
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
Here is a step-by-step guide to disabling HSPA on Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (thanks to XDA member hardcore)

Open the phone’s dialer pad and enter the following code:

*#301279#

This will bring you to the menu shown below. Tap [2] CHANGE HSPA REVISION

From the new options, select [1] RELEASE R99(HSPA OFF) or any other option that says HSPA off.

You’ll get a new service mode window telling you that HSDPA, HSUPA and HSPA have been turned off.

Press the ‘Menu’ softkey and then ‘End’ to exit, or simply use the ‘Back’ softkey.

That’s it. You’re done. The battery draining HSPA mode has been turned off, and will remain so even after a reboot.

Should you ever want to turn it back on, just go to the same process, and this time, select the option [3] RELEASE 6(HSDPA/HSUPA)

This method has been tested on the radio I9000XXJPP and it actually works, resulting in better battery life on Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
Thanks FredOak3!

I also want to reiterate that doing this, you will still be able use 3G (WCDMA). This does NOT lock you into 2G (GSM). So you can leave your band selection to automatic (GSM/WCDMA) so that in areas that don't have 3G your phone will revert to 2G.

Hope you get that capocaccia. This was what I was looking for. Not the 2G/3G switching.

I don't think this ROM had this included, I didn't see this file in my phone, so I flashed the file attached.

Cliffs notes for lazies:

Flash the file in the link above, it's for protection against the rageagainstthecage exploit in ALL pre-Gingerbread ROMs. Supposedly this fixes the exploit which will let naughty coding in apps run scripts/do stuff without you knowing about it.

It also has a list of known infected apps.
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
I get what you were asking and I feel like I answered it respectably with the knowledge I had. I didnt realize there was a secret code to do this as well but thats why Im here. I learn things on here.
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
are you aware of the secret codes in sgs tools (market)? Lots to play with and break/learn there :-)
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
Oh yes! I use the GPS test sometimes. Like I said Im no pro so Im too nervous to play with all of them. Not to mention my captivate is my only phone and as a college kid would be hard for me to replace.

Wtf? 2 days? FIVE days? Best I get with any rom using juice defender and all the other little tricks is 12 hours MAX.

[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
I got an easy 15 hours the other day until I plugged it in before bed. I believe I had something like 28% left. I uninstalled juice defender. I didnt realize it that when it turns your radio off you are no longer able to receive incoming calls. However, I still use juice plotter and that makes me very aware of what kills my battery the most.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
You sure about that with Juice Defender? I get calls all the time with JD on.

Sent from some combo of rom/kernel/modem.
[Captivate Android Development] HeRmAyNe-MuNsTeR:
Thanks for this info, flashing now.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
I think there was an option to turn off the radio completely. But that would either be turned on manually, or MAYBE the very aggressive setting will do that.

I uninstalled JD, after seeing what it does on the graph while on, then a day without it on.

I stream pandora at work almost all day, and that it cuts off data is annoying, because at the end of every song I have to unlock and relock the phone. Also, whenever the data is off, yea, battery life is better, but notice when it turns on, either on the timer, or when you unlock the screen, how that graph will hit into red. I just feel it takes more system resources to start and stop all those services, rather than let them idle. I also noticed that leaving the phone with JD on vs off overnight, i'd lose like 12% with JD on, and half that with it off. My thought is that maybe because it's always doing something on a timer it doesn't let the phone "sleep" very long.

@capocaccia: Yea you just didn't understand what I was asking for. You felt sure I wanted to switch to 2G. Only thing I don't get is what you told me is what I did NOT want to do, and i stated that clearly. I clearly stated I wanted 3G and not have it switch to HSPA, but i guess if you didn't know that it's possible you may have assumed that switching to 2G is the only option along those lines...

Also, I unplug my phone around 6:20am, stream pandora at least 3-4 hours a day, 2 syncing weather widgets, gmail sync, facebook widget sync, check on my Garden of Weeden, play bubble buster when getting rid of lunch, 50-150 text msgs, the occasional market place browsing/download/installing of apps/patches, and sometimes use GPS when traffic is extremely jacked up on the way home. When I plug back in around 11:30pm I'll have around 10-15% left if I used GPS, normally like 25-35% left depending how long i played bubble buster and streamed pandora.

Anyone getting 850 mhz to show in the US with this ROM. I'm in the Florida panhandle and we have the frequency, but mine consistantly shows 1900. I get good speeds from what I can tell 2.5 to 3.5mb down 1+mb up but its always showing 1900. I'm wondering if its using 850 and just showing 1900? I have * 850 in settings and tried other modems btw.

Curious because I've read that 850 is faster.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
The phone will pick whichever band it thinks has the better dBm i believe, but try to use 1900 whenever possible.

I'm not 100% on this, but I think 1900 is WCDMA (3G) vs 850 is GSM (2g).
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
I did this and noticed no difference in battery drain what so ever. However! What did happen was that I could not get a data connection for my Sirius APP when doing this. When I followed the steps to turn it back on, Sirius worked again. Strange!
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Oh, and that is on a Samsung Captivate, Paragon RC6
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
It worked when I tried it with the speedmod kernel with the JK4 modem.

When I first did it though it screwed up, so I reset everything, rebooted and did it again and once I set it, I gave it about 5 minutes before I tried anything, and then everything seemed to work.
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
Im sure about it the way it performed on my phone. But I didnt mess with the settings very much. It was just more of a hassle than anything else to make sure I had that app set up just right.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
I know this isn't on topic, but people here (in this thread) seem like decent people. Please see my signature.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
That's not quite correct. 1900 and 850 can both be WCDMA and/or GSM it just really depends on what AT&T has deployed in your area. Thought I would hope that they have both deployed in most areas by now. The main differences between 850 and 1900 is that 850 provides better indoor reception while 1900 provides better interference protection per AT&T's site anyways.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure 850 is here, but when I change to 850 only i get no signal ( GSM or WCDMA)
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Just to verify, I can flash this on UCKB1 ROM (ie Cognition 4X), correct? I liked this kernel on Serindipity (if my frail memory is not failing me) with KP1, and really liked it. Have had problems with auto rotate quitting on me on 2.2.1 ROMS, so trying Cogonition. So far, so good, but other issues I'm trying to get past.

I did just flash Speedmod, but without OC/UV I'm not sure I'll be happy.

[EDIT] 4/2

Turns out the Speedmod, with KB1 modem that I was told should work, gives terrible static on Blue Tooth.

This thread seems pretty dead, and not any replies after a couple days. Maybe I should look elsewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
Band switching OK

... Seems the band switching is working properly and the ATT store guys are given the wrong info. I'm working from a different office today and I am on 850 here (about an hour from home). That means my home area just happens to be 1900 contrary to what the store reps think. All is well with this ROM and modem still:D

[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
Yeah, I've been running it for 2 days now I maybe keeping this setting and it seems more responsive than safer mount, so far the fastest I have tried. During my 1st try I thought battery life was horrible and I was experiencing phone freeze but simple tweak in vc app solve the issue and my phone is running good now much more snappier than before and still stable I could easily reach 2200+ in quadrant a 400 points jump from my previous setting.:D

Yeah, im thinknig about either, reflashing Paragon RC6 or going back to Paragon RC3. 6 is doing good, but things seemed to run smoother and faster for me when I was runnig 3. (I skipped 4 and 5) I am currently not OC/UV anyone recommend doing this first?
[Captivate Android Development] bassahaulic:
I defiantly recommend trying OC/UV. How often do you use the "Task Manager" to clear RAM and such often? I find doing this every now and then helps a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
It may be old and havn't been updated for a while but for me it is feature complete, fast and reliable. So far I have not found any bugs since the last time I flashed this rom for over a month now. I also test other rom every now and then but my phone seems to like this one and the fastest of them all with same clock speed even with faster ext4 mount is pretty stable.

QFT

I've been beating the tester up lately with all the new releases, but my main phone sticks to Paragon still.

ain't broke, don't fix it kinda thing.

I'll move to 2.3.3 when it's working %100 in the areas I need. Camera is pretty high on my list. I know eSPyeL will end up back here at some point and dazzle us all over again...
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I must agree. I would like to try out some of the other ROMs out there, but Paragon RC6 just gives me everything I need (or will after I reflash it due to the Kernel Panic it had which causes my phone to run ssssssssssssssssslllllllllllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww despite flashing a different kernel) so I don't feel the need to try anything else.

I just hope eSPyeL comes back soon and makes us an amazing Gingerbread ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Supernova 4.0 is a pretty cool ROM. I've been using it since Friday.

it's taken my device forever to use GPS since I flashed RC2.0, there was only about a 1 hour period yesterday where it acquired my location and was able to provide me directions - i was excited because it was the fastest lock i've ever had on a ROM. However, all other times before and since then have been failures - maps & navigation take so long to try and locate my phone or acquire a satellite that they hang indefinitely or the program closes.

Same deal in RC3.0, it never stops "Searching for GPS..."; always gives me "Your current location is temporarily unavailable."

Anyone know what i need to do to fix this? could it simply be coincidence that when I'm trying this the satellites aren't cooperating? greatly appreciated :)
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
Cwm, install super manager from the market and allow super user to navigate to the root file then explore /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb it will show you the zip you flashed. I can't use d sd tools app to measure the external sd card speed write and read because our phone is not supported by the app. But opening your photo gallery from external sd is pretty fast.

Edit: data write speed depends on what class your sd card is if you have a class 2 sd card your data write is limited to your sd card speed while read is still pretty fast if you have have class 10 you will maximize the potential of the tweak.
