Here are the 3 most common modems that I've seen people using lately. It took me forever to find the JL2 modem as well.

Good luck finding the best combination for your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] itdiestoday:
Thanks man. The jl2 is definitely hard to locate.
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
Thanks. I think I might have accidentally deleted it while doing some cleanup.

The others I already have and been playing around with. My goal over the next coming days is to see if I can maintain my data and increase battery. I'm also going to do it being very stubbornly and only using Perception and Firebird2.

So far I have been getting the best performance using the Telus modem.
[Captivate Android Development] itdiestoday:
My best results have with cognition 3.04 and firebird v05. But I wanted my bluetooth working so now its all different
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
I am sure that DG has posted in change log that no more mounting as CD rom but I am still facing that problem...anyone with solution??
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Yes.

You could either change the kernel's zip name to "update.zip" (the easy way) or just choose the correct zip from the sd card and install it. I'm confused about the "not using SGS Kernal that is.". You cannot flash a non SGS kernel to a Galaxy S phone. Are you talking about the SGS Kernel Flasher?
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
Somebody posted a fix a few pages back a couple days ago.
[Captivate Android Development] DrunkenWonton:
thanks,

on a rogers captivate, with cognition,

which gives better battery life and and minimum disadvantages.

Firebird or Speedmod,

also, which one is the modem ill need?
[Captivate Android Development] itdiestoday:
Use any i9000 modem.

Many people have success with the KP1 or JL2 modem. Id start there.
[Captivate Android Development] DrunkenWonton:
I just put in JL3, is this better than JL2?
[Captivate Android Development] itdiestoday:
Cant really give you a clear cut answer on that. Youre going to have to go give it the real world everyday test to figure that part out yourself. Id say give that modem about 1 to 2 days before you try another one so you have a basis of what the JL3 currently provides you when you switch, if you so choose to do so.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Yeah modems are probably the hardest thing to really suggest. Every modem seems to work totally different on every captivate, not only cause captivates are different, but mainly cause of the area you live. I have even noticed friends living close to me have better success with different modems than I do. I love kp1 and untill a new modem drops I'm not even testing any more, it works perfect for me.

I wonder what DG's been up to. No updates in a while :)
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Probably refreshing the Motorola Atrix page for updates :)
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
I don't really subscribe to this common explanation. To me it seems like the easy way to explain away something we don't understand, but one that flies in the face of common-sense. I've been flashing firmwares to all sorts of electronics for 20-something years, from computers to hard drives to optical drives to DVD players, CD players, Blu-ray players... cell phones, game systems, stereo amp/receivers, you name it. Not until the Samsung Captivate have I ever come across an issue explained away that "every one is different". I'm going to rock the boat and say, "no, they're not". They use the same chips and the same PCBs, the same trace schematics and so on. The different results people are getting with the same modems are due to other outside factors, ones that are actually variable. Perhaps nothing more than incomplete, imperfect, inconsistent, subjective, inaccurate, and/or unscientific measuring of performance between different people or the same person across different modems.

Think about this: if we're really going to accept that "every Captivate is different", then you're basically giving Samsung the green-light to never make a good working official firmware for them since there are millions of variations, preventing a "one size fits all" master official firmware update. You're also saying that the Captivate is magically unique in the history of cell phones, or pretty much any other electronics ever made that utilized firmware. I'd rather think they don't get such an excuse... plus it defies logical thought.

Just an alternative viewpoint. :) I don't expect everyone to agree... "all Captivates are different" is a claim that has gone viral and is repeated over and over now so much that many assume it to be gospel. Show me the different chips being used, or the different trace patterns. Show me how they're different... otherwise accept the fact that maybe they're not different after all and instead something else is going on...

Even if there are some different revisions out there (not uncommon), they would be limited to a very small number of variations... and it would be then possible to methodically and definitively determine which modem worked best on which revision/batch.
[Captivate Android Development] bnevets27:
I would agree with sremick, that out phones aren't different. I would say the variables are geographical location, signal strength and service providers. Probably more then that, but I would say its more likely attributed to those variables then hardware being different.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Thanks for the info..found it right away.
[Captivate Android Development] Mr_Armageddon:
For the most part I agree with you, but there has been a lot of evidence on the Captivate forums to suggest that there are some hardware differences depending on the IMEI # of your Captivate. I have seen talk of a "half modem" by an ATT Rep, stating that there are four imei ranges out right now, two recalled, the safe 35xxxxxxxyyyy range, and the 1010xxxxxxxxxx imei range. The 1010 range is confirmed to have a new modern card. The 35 safe imei range is split, half with a compatible modern, and half with a half modem. The 35 range with the half modem will present problems such as losing signal.

I have personally seen similar problems on my Captivate. If I use any modem outside of the stock Captivate modem which is also available on Cog 3.04, I will completely lose signal at night, and I have to reboot my phone to regain service. I have tried 6 different modems; Stock, TLJL3, ZNKP1, UGJK4, UGJK3, and most recently UGJL2. All but the stock cause me to lose signal at night.

I am not the only one that has experienced this exact issue (Links below), so apparently there is some kind of hardware difference, specifically the modems of certain IMEI ranges. Doesn't matter what kernel I am using. None of the I9000 modems work properly with my phone, only stock Captivate modem maintains a signal 24/7.

[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Then how do you explain the wildly variable gps issues as well as modem results/problems many see? Crappy qa or some other phenomenon? We have three captivates and even setting everything up the same provides different results. Likely going to give up and go back to htc. Getting tired of the bs and bored with running one rom that us just themed by different devs.
[Captivate Android Development] TheBassman369:
All Captivates are different. I have compared two Captivates side by side. I flashed back to stock, master cleared, flashed a new ROM and they both performed different.
[Captivate Android Development] MonsterBandit:
DG really quick...this maybe a noob question but I've been hoping someone would get usb audio to work with the Samsung Car Dock and it seems someone has...link...I've been running Cognition since day one and am currently running 3.04 and loving it...from my understanding FB2 is an i9000 Kernal and I was wondering if you could work this fix into the FB2 Kernal...I havent wanted to mess with Kernals and modems because honestly I have no idea where to begin, but if its possible to add this fix to FB2 I will be dl'ing FB2 post haste.
[Captivate Android Development] Autocratic:
What kind of speed are people getting with JL2 vs. other modems? Right now I'm on JL3 and getting average 850kbps down and battery life is great. Curious to see if JL2 would be any better for me.

[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Regarding the IMEI range, this should only affect AT&T users correct? Cus my IMEI starts with 35 as well but I'm with Rogers and I haven't "really" suffered any "problems". Only problem I've encountered was where I have signal at certain places, but I can't use the mobile network.

And I believe all Captivates are 99% the same. Just like everything else such as cars, laptops, desktops, GPUs, CPUs, none of them are the same. However the majority of the parts and stuff are the same.
[Captivate Android Development] MonsterBandit:
Not to be pushy, but does anyone know if that car dock fix from loserskater (found here) could be applied to FB2? I dont know if its possible or not but maybe DG could build this into his ROMs?
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
I would like to see this as well, being it is from excaliberinhand i'm sure it will be implemented in a DG kernel soon. Right?

Sounds like dg is done with the captivate....no updates or support in quite a while here or at tw. Also someone who follows his twitter said he commented as much.

first off i wanna say that i love these kernels you're putting out man. just one question. is there any way to increase the volume on the internal speaker with this kernel? i always try these out whenever you update but end up going back to SpeedMods kernels because I can hear better when on a phone call.
[Captivate Android Development] Death_Keeper:
amzing work! i went to hardcore's kernel only because the headphone's on voice calls fix....was realy happy to see an update from you, imidiatly switched to your kernel, love the battery life...but the headphones still won't work.

importent note, this did work with speedmod k13A... so i guess it can be fixed...

Hope its a small issue that will be solved soon.

[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
Let me start by saying I know this makes no sense at all.

I just flashed Firebird2 1.0 from SpeedMod k12a. Upon reboot my phone was stuck in airplane mode, my calendar stopped syncing with 1 of my calendars, and MTM Gingerbread Green keyboard replaced the WP7 Keyboard. Am I retarded or wtf did I do? I rebooted again and it got out of airplane mode, but WP7 keyboard is still gone and my school calendar still isn't syncing.

Edit: Flashed back to SpeedMob and issues not fixed. I was planning on flashing a different rom to test it out today anyway. No biggie. Just wanted to give some feedback.

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I had issues when switching from anything that runs the ULF lagfix back to something that uses voodoo lagfix. Whenever I was on a speedmod kernel or suckerpunch and went to try out Firebird I would get into either a bootloop or have multimedia force closes. I would just go back to recovery, NOT wipe anything and just flash the Firebird or whatever kernel I was flashing previously again. The second time it would flash e erything correctly. Now I know I should have disasabled the ulf before flashing the voodoo enabled kernel. So now that you are where your at just reflash the kernel. Your mileage may vary. I NEVER go back to stock any more and only have had issues between the above situation. Now if I am going from a ulf kernel/rom to a ulf kernel/alarm there are no issues. Likewise a voodoo5 supported rom/kernel to voodoo5 supported rom/kernel then no issues. Hope this helps.

[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
I never use the lagfix on any rom. First thing I do is always make sure it is disabled after a clean flash. Firebird enables it by default so I always disable it right after flashing. Since Speedmod's lagfix wasnt enabled before flash I wouldn't think that would cause a problem would it?

Even still.. a kernel flash shouldn't add a new keyboard to the phone. Thats odd.

Start-Up Image Change

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to see the Firebird back on the start-up screen. I'd like to see something different with each version upgrade. I'm sure there are a ton of ideas and submissions for "firebird" or "anti-AT&T" logos. Maybe a version of the Ubuntu Linux penguin beside of the Pontiac Firebird... :cool:

For the tech stuff, I've updated to each firebird version without issues, I'm still running Perception 10.1, and I updated to the UGJK4 modem. Installed the XtremeBlueDialer and Darky's gloss black theme. I believe I'm going to wait until some actual version of the 2.3 or 3.X Android OS comes out, or is forced out, for the Cappy before flashing another ROM. Everything's running smooth. Thanks for all of the hard work! Keep it up! :)

OK flashed the	update.ucji6.modem.zip modem via recovery mode

same same :( still some kind of hissing\not clear while on phonecall
[Captivate Android Development] itdiestoday:
Flash either the JL2, PK1, or JK4 modem. I only suggest these because they are the more popular modems out there. I personally use PK1 and have had no issues with it.

Do not flash through rom manager, just reboot into clock work recovery mode. From their choose install from sd card and navigate to the file. Good luck.

Mine show correctly. Did you flash this over another kernel without disabling a prior lag fix? I have only tried initial installs while testing my newest rom and it works flawlessly.

Mine doesn't work either, but I don't need it.

I just installed Perception 10.4 yesterday which has the Firebird v0.9 kernel. Do I need to disable the lagfix before flashing v1.0?

Could this be the issue that other people are seeing? They're not disabling the lagfix they have before flashing v1.0? Also, maybe try reformatting the external SD.

Battery issues

i was using Cog 3.04 with original kernel and modem.. i installed fd2 v1.0 and my battery was worse.. it drained from 100 to 90% in only 20 minutes .. now, back to stock cog kernel and have the same problem.. are you guys having problems with the battery ?
[Captivate Android Development] fatbas202:
I wouldn't go so far as to say that I'm having *problems*, but .08 did have better battery life on my phone running Cog 3.04 with the JL2 modem. I'm also seeing more sleep death with 1.0 vs .8 (1 every 2 days on 1.0 vs 1 every 5-8 days on .8, but it's still early for this kernel) .

I'm also experiencing the external SD card not mounting to the computer as others have mentioned.

Additionally, I'm seeing my phone randomly turn the screen on when no buttons are pressed or notifications exist. This happens once every 2 or 3 hours that I notice - it could be happening more often than that.

When I flashed to 1.0, I just flashed over the top of .08 and then calibrated the battery - nothing else.

Good work on everything DG - I know it takes some time to debug when switching kernel sources, but I know you'll get it all worked out.
