Probably a very dumb question, but can any of these modems be flashed on a GT-i9000M? I am using the UGKC1 modem on my wife's Captivate and it works great with Rogers here in Canada. I would like to flash the same modem on a GT-i9000M but not sure if these are Captivate only.

can't flash new modem

I got the new cm7 7.2 rc1 running on my captivate. The baseband version shown is T959TLJL3.

I downloaded i897-kk4_cwm3.zip and flash the zip in CWM. It said update from zip applied successfully, but after reboot, baseband is still T959TLJL3? I tried to flash it again, same issue.

Any idea??? Thx.

Edited: never mind...has to be modems from CM7/MIUI & ICS section. Thx.

I am having a terrible time finding a decent modem for myself, if one even exists for my area. I'm in Winnipeg and have tested a few that have had good ratings in provinces/states around me. The speed has gone up slightly since stock, but the only real change was way better GPS reception. I'm paying $80 a month for this 1GB plan and i can hardly use it because it feels so slow.

Forgive the noob question, but I'm not sure if this is even a modem issue.
I'm running Dark Night 4 on a Captivate. The wi-fi status says I'm connected to my home network, but the "soundwave" icon in the status bar is not blue, it's grey, and I don't recieve any data. As soon as I switch off wi-fi and it goes to data the icon turns blue again and I can get sync.

None will flash

None of the modems I try will flash. I'm running talondev kernel on serendipity vii build 3 and currently ugkg3 modem, but I want to try another. Also, my phone will only charge up to 97% or 98% and it says charged, but it won't go past that. Any ideas on either of these?

Ah yes...Serendipity 7.1 build 3...I remember that rom! I used to use it last year Serendipity 6 then 7 then 7.1. I believe they needed i9000 modems and you needed to wipe the dalvik and the cache when changing modems. Good luck!

Or you can move on up to ICS for the Captivate! CM9 is ICS android 4.0.4 and it's nice! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1592141

Yeah I tried cmú and there were certain apparently not compatible with it like kindle, flash player and a few others. I was surprised. Is cm9 better? What's the main diff between ICS and GB roms?

    Here is a great website to determine what band/coverage your provider uses. Just type out your country and select your network ect. from the drop down menu.

    Which is better, 850 or 1900?

    In general, you are going to get more performance out of 850 than you are going to get out of 1900 for several reasons. 1. As mentioned earlier, back when the 850 licenses were issued, they had to cover a certain amount of land cover. This required deploying their system throughout many rural areas (not ALL though). 1900 licenses only need to cover up to 67% of the population, and in many cases they don't even have to meet that. 2. The higher the frequency, the shorter the usable range. You need approximately twice as many 1900 MHz towers to cover a given area than 850 MHz towers. Most 1900 MHz towers are in urban and suburban areas. A properly built 1900 system will work as well as a properly built 850 system, but it will likely cost more to deploy and operate. Sometimes 1900 will work better in a city because 1900 MHz signals tend to work better in the middle of the city with large buildings as the shorter wavelength allows the signal to go around corners easier. Also, due to network loading, 850 towers have to be "turned down" in urban areas so as to not overload, so the playing field is leveled. 3. Leaving the technical details aside, it seems that 850 MHz signals penetrate most modern buildings better than 1900 MHz signals. There are many factors involved such as the material of the walls, the proximity of the local cell towers and various other factors. The fact that 850 MHz carriers have been in operation longer and have optimized their coverage is an important factor to consider. If there is a window nearby, chances are that either system will work, assuming that there is some sort of signal available at the window! The bottom line is this: when you try out a service, make sure you bring your phone to all the areas you'll be using to make sure it works where you need it.

    how come in the i9000 section, all the modem names start with "captivate", but not in the i897 section? isnt the i897 the captivate, and the i9000 is the international galaxy s?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    The reason the I9000 modems start with captivate is to tell you they are for the I897 captivate and the reason the I897 captivate modems don't is its already a captivate modem so it doesn't need introduction.

    I have also found this with roms. specifically, i am currently running the KK4 saurom, but the splash screenw hen i turn my phone on says i9000. in about phone, my kernal says its the i897UCKK4... so why the i9000 splash screen?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    The reason for your I9000 splash screen is I do believe is either your running a captivate I9000 kernel for a captivate I897 ROM which is a no no OR your running captivate I9000 bootloaders for a captivate I987 ROM which is a double no no. Someone correct me if im wrong but If your running a I897 ROM you have to run I897 bootloaders but if your running a I9000 you can run either or and if your running a I897 ROM you have to run a I897 kernel and if your running a captivate I9000 ROM you have to run a I9000 kernel.

    anyway my main concern is about the modems, especially since i live in the toronto area, and my i896 stock modem is kh2, which has never been able to get a lock for me, and yet the i9000 KG3 modem works much better... but then id be running an i9000 modem on an i897 rom, and i want to stay with an i897 rom to have better call quality.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    If your running a I897 ROM you have to use a I897 Modem but if your running a captivate I9000 ROM then you have to run I9000 modems BUT if your running CM7/MIUI OR any ICS then you can run "Radio" modems either I9000 or I897 but only if they are "Radio" modems. I removed the "Radio" I897 modems from my site because the lack of audience chip makes the sound quality for the other person crappy.

    NOTE: All my modem .zip files are for the Captivate.... If that helps!

    Friends its been a great run with the captivate but unfortunately I have moved on to the Note i717 and will not be updating any more modems unless given and packaged to me to upload. I will keep the website available as long as people use it and download from it.

    Thanks,
