Default [REF][MODEMS][CWM] Samsung Sidekick 4G [11/1/11]

These are flashable modems, flash in CWM.

Modems can effect signal, data, and usually battery life

There are few modems available for our phone at the moment, so if you've have better data/signal with one modem you can now just choose what modem you use on your ROM. Results for data and signal for each modem will not be the same for everyone and it can differ based on where you live so give them a flash and see which modem is best for you !

Post feedback on what modem works best for you and it could help others decide or choose which modem may be best for them.

Thank you and please enjoy !

Nice! I'll be getting a second today, for my lady.

Going to jump on the $49 each for two phones today (I am still in my 30 day trial so I can cancel mine, and put it back on, with my ladies). The $240 ETF with Verizon will be fine, since I will be saving about $60/month with the two phones!

TMI, I know, Thank you!

as the OP states, changing your Modem can improve signal, data, or battery life. But results will be different for everyone.

Can these modems be used with any sk4g 2.2.1 rom? Or are they build specific?

For me, I've always had much better resultws with the KD1 up until now. The KJ2 seems to be a bit better though at holding a strong signal. As my day takes me around the city, I'll be paying attention expecially in places where I've had bad or no reception before to see if there is improvement. Around where I live though, definitely an improvement. [=

So far every modem that I try to flash, using Odin, Heimdall, or CWM, I always get a modem upload failed. Any idea what would cause that to fail for many different modems using many different flashing methods?
