Can't wait for	Frosty!!

Great work, OP!

Also, any users live in the dallas or san antonio area, that could recommend me on what modem to use?
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
Updating Bionix Frost Now
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
Op updated!!!!
[Vibrant General] ndwgs:
Suuuuhhhhh wwwwweeeettttt!!

Ok, also,

anybody know which of the modems stated in the OP that i can use either in Dallas or San Antonio? Somebody said, KA6....

I'll try that out tonight.

I go back and forth Dallas and SA for the next 5 months. And KB1 worked wonders in my area, especially it sucked before in that area, but now, KB1 sucks here (currently in Dallas). Sucks WAAAYYY more on KB1. I keep getting only 3G or Edge. Not the H (Trigger Rom and Latest Axura 2.3.1.3 dated 3/8/2011)

Any recommendations?

Lotta good work here op. I wish they'd impliment thanks on the app. So I'll just do it manually.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Vibrant General] hitman818:
Can you make one for cm7, if its not too much to ask?
[Vibrant General] ultra spikey:
Maybe you can try this method for testing the battery life. This should give more consistent results, along with proof...

1) Charge your battery to Full before you go to sleep.

2) Unplug charger.

3) Use SystemPanel app(or equivalent) to monitor Battery life over time. It will graph it.

4) Take a screenshot in the morning when you wake up.

...this method should work pretty good as long as you have a regular sleep schedule and don't install new apps in between that could be running in the background. I know this will just tell us the battery life in standby, but it should be more consistent between test.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Although the information here is interesting, I doubt it is accurate. There are too many variables at play to assume the information here is accurate.

I mean, just the number of different T-Mobile customers in your area using the network at different moments of testing could give you false results.
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
Your welcome!!
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
Seems to be accurate for most.

And these are just MY results...wont be the same for everyone.

And customers in my area with tmobile probly wont have custom ROMs, considering the amount of people here in Philadelphia with a rooted Vibrant + a custom ROM, compared to the amount of users in this entire forum, the amount of people here in Philly is 3 times as much as the Vibrant users who are actually running a custom ROM and switching between kernells, ROMs, and modems, which have a great effect on data speed.

You slim these numbers down, and you have yourself some pretty accurate results, trust me iv'e done the math.

So at the end of the day, this is pretty accurate, at least 95% of the time for a person close to the Philadelphia tri-state area.

Nice try
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
Lol :D

damn you, you autocorrection alogorithim...

hows that? lol
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
Im waiting for that to become stable if they finish it.

or im waiting for a final beta like CM6.1

Reason because i dont want nothing like a bug in the ROM to screw with my testing a produce inaccurate results
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
Thats not needed when i measure from 6am till death of the battery the sameway with every modem and rom combination.
[Vibrant General] G00DFe77a:
I be interested in some numbers running on 2.2.1 roms such as the Toxic Darky port that I'm testing.

anyone?

:confused::confused::confused:
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
I commend you for undertaking such a long study. However I have a few questions. How exactly did you run each test? E.g. for battery life did you leave the phone on standby or did you use it throughout the day? In the latter case I'd be weary to draw any conclusions since too many variables are inconsistent across the different setups.
[Vibrant General] Binary100100:
Jeez. How many people in SoCal with Axura 2.31 have read this thread since yesturday??? Be patient!

Can you test on stock froyo please?
[Vibrant General] BruceElliott:
I ask this question a few pages back; and he said no. :(

I have tried KA6, KA7, and KB1. I cannot tell much difference between them, but then I have never gone through the rigorous test process that the OP went through. I would really like to see his results on stock Froyo.
[Vibrant General] Shortbus-Driver:
Download them all and try them out by downloading things from the market....it really is not that difficult.

I go for the fastest which generally means faster battery drain,but have 3 batteries i got fairly cheap on amazon,so battery drain means notta to me
[Vibrant General] BruceElliott:
You are right. I have the tools and am in the process of (slowly) testing the latest three modems on stock systems. Will post within a few days.
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
Sorry i havnt been here to update this...ive been working on themes in the theme section.

I honestly thought this thread was gonna fall down the pages and not get looked at after awhile...but as far as testing on 2.2.1 you guys are on your own.

Ill update when 2.3 ROMS drop

as far as axura, i have a section in the OP about...refer there and take your pick

remember that im in Philadelphia tho and these are MY results

cheers :-)
[Vibrant General] BruceElliott:
It's because you did good...a lot of work makes for a valuable thread.
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:

[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
Thanks for all the testing. I've settled on JL4 as I value battery life the most. Plus, I'm moving to Pittsburgh by the end of the month so I assume my data/speeds should be comparable.

KB5 was just posted, looks like you've got one to add to your list. :p

op updated for kb5

some outdated roms have been removed!!!!!
[Vibrant General] bearsfan85:
Part of what he said was true, and this is regrading data speeds. Unless you are testing at the same time when the network isnt stressed (3AM) the speeds will be a good indicator. However if you are int the city and there is a sporting event or something the network will be bogged down and data will be slower. If data is slower then the phone will use more and more power trying to send/receive data. However, with that being said, and I dont know your exact process but with a high enough sample size the data will be accurate.

With that being said this still gives a good indicator on what should be expected from phone. Looking at what you have compared to what other people have said your data does show that KB5 is the best overall modem and thus your tests must be somewhat valid, just not 100%.

One thing that would be nice is if we got a hand full of people to test it that dont live in a big city and get consistent 3g speeds and then analyze that data.

I dont want to make it sound like I am bashing you however a fair point was brought up which addresses some concern but looking at what you have the concerns arent that rational.
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
This thread was ment for people to get a base of whats a modem was like for someone who tested them fairly.

I dont see the point with anyone arguing with my thread when the OP clearly states these were MY results and they WONT be the SAME for EVERYONE.

The way he directed his comment, sounded like I said my results would be 100% for everyone.

Data is never consistant because theres always network traffic.

And why test at 3am when how many people would be up that late anyways?...no sense in that

So i did the best i could for these people here on xda.

If people dont agree with my post then just hit the back button.

EDIT: Not directing anything personal towards you, but im gonna stick with my results.

[Vibrant General] defconoi:
other modems

it seems sgs i9000 and captivate modems work on the vibrant with CM7, care to add those for comparison?
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
No i will not because those modems do not work here in America, noone in that thread that confirmed it works, lives here in America.

Notice the man lives in europe, so he's getting european bands which allows him to flash european modems...

I may be wrong idk, but ive tried them all in hopes of updating the op with em.

Talk to scrizz, the good man will only tell u the harsh truth.

[Vibrant General] strtkempo:
I have been using toxic music and KB5 with the included bali kernel it's been wonderful on signal,data, and battery!
[Vibrant General] DR-EVIL23:
is there a better all-around kernel than KB5?
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
KB5 isnt a kernel sir...lol

Sorry but that gave me a laugh

The KB5 Modem seems to be the best for most so i recommend flashing that first
[Vibrant General] cruzad3r:
this is great but for folks who are using the vibrant on ATT signal, i think the results are pretty crappy regardless what modem you're using.

not to state the obvious ( missing radio band on ATT vs Tmobile) but if there's a way we can make the signal better for folks that are using the device on ATT, that would be AWESOME.
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
IF I HAD ATT then id be all over it lol
[Vibrant General] lol Qaeda:
Might be because I'm in a good area but connection/service isn't bad for the most part. I used to have problems getting booted to EDGE after tenuous access to HSDPA, though. Solution? Menu --> settings --> Wireless --> Mobile data or whatnot, then change GSM/WCDMA or whatever to WCDMA only. Alternatively, do the *# thing (posted elsewhere) and force the 1900 WCDMA band only.

Only real difference is that we don't use the AWS band; we're on 1900 WCDMA, if I recall correctly.
[Vibrant General] ray_saul:
so can we use any kernel with any rom???
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
No there's froyo kernels an gb kernels

could someone point me to the one that would be best for my phone. im using simply honey rom and bullet 1.54 ghz kernel. thanks in advance.

[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:

[Vibrant General] Xenoism:
Really helpful :]
[Vibrant General] kwag:
+1

The KB5 radio/modem works best on newer networks.

In Puerto Rico, where I am, the complete T-Mobile network was upgraded to HSPA+ "Island Wide", and there are big issues with older modems such as KA*, where it simply bombs or you loose signal completely, and you have to power cycle in order to recover connectivity.

Some areas in the states are still running older 3G circuitry on the cell sites, and if you are in these areas, probably the older modems work best (for the time being).

Once T-Mobile fully upgrades all systems, the KB5 will be the best radio for all 2.2.x based ROMs, stability wise and battery life.

Hope this helps some people that have connectivity issues.

However no camcorder yet, there is the option to use "Video Cam Illusion" from market to take low quality videos though.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrljlamon:
the videocam illusion is a good enough quality to deal with to have the privelage of froyo on ur x10

and the cams in the freex10 roms work perfectly

i used both the video and cam today a lot.

I don't have that problem. That's rather odd, I've never heard of that happening. Maybe you got some debris under the button and that's adding pressure to the sensor, and that pressure makes it nearly activated and only needs a small additional amount of pressure to fully activate it? That's the only reason I can think of lol.

I have been having the same problem. The button will still "click" but it will turn on well before it clicks. It will turn on by just resing my finger on part of it. I was wondering if there is anything I can do short of permantly voiding my warranty by taking it apart and replacing the power button. This only started happening after I think I dropped my phone on the power button with a case on. I still have one replacement left with Verizon but that would require turning s-on and returning my phone to stock. I also want to keep my amoled screen. Does anyone have any insight in this matter?
[General Questions and Answers] RipplingHurst:
Hi,

Is it possible to have an app that could turn the screen on and off according to the charging status? If it's plugged into a power source and charging the tablet would go on (turn on the screen/slide) and possibly resume play (music/video).

When the power source is removed, it would have an option to automatically pause current playing music/video and then turn off the display.

This is the reason: I'd like to install a cheap android tablet as a headrest source of entertainment. I would have wifi available, and perhaps even a computer working as a media server. But each passenger row would have a tablet in the front headrest, but I wouldn't want to leave them on, nor having to turn each off when I left the car.

I think there was a recent article on Engaget that showed buses in India that had tablets on the front headrests. You could check the weather, make reservation, watch news, movies, clips, cartoons, etc. The cheap China made tablets were embeded in the headrests and they were not be removable.

Any ideas if this is at all possible?

Thanks.

Have you ever tried/heard of an app named "Tasker"? I don't have any first hand experience with the app but I know sites like Lifehacker and Engadget have posted articles about the possibilities of the app. I understand that it is technical, so you should do your research first by checking the app website to see if this is feasible.
