Tried downloading the JVO modem but after flashing it shows up as JVQ.

I did a binary comparison of radio-cm7-ics-captivate-xxjvo-signed.zip with radio-cm7-ics-captivate-xxjvq-signed.zip and in that zip file modem.bin are binary equivalents.

Does any one have the correct JVO modem file?

I'm having issues with my wifi

I'm having issues with several roms, and it is that my wifi signal is very weak... Is it possible that it has anything to do with the modem? how do i know the modem im using? in case the other i flash is even worse i can at least go back. and can i change modems freely flashing then through cwm? I need help and there is basically no activity in this thread :(

Thanks for reply. Sadly there is no recommendation for my area, did really a modem can improve signal performance if it just working now? Could a wrong modem cause random reboot?

We have no idea what ROM your using so how can we help you. Yes you can flash as many as you want as long as you ROM will suport the correct modem and yes that is why your signal sucks you have to find the correct one for your area. Hope that helps...

i've used the aokp milestone 5, aokp build 36, weUI 1.0 and nostalga 6... but the first 3 uses the same modem so i'm just going to start flashing all of them to see what happens. I guess a nandroid backup will keep me safe in case things get worse. I was kinda scared of flashing modems because i had an htc magic and the process of changing the radios couldn't be reversed flashing another rom or restoring a backup. But thanks a lot for the help... I'll post which modem worked for me in case someone is n the same stuation

Does this modems work for ics roms and also gb roms? Because the name of the modems says ics and cm7, so i wanted to know if it works for both (since cm7 is GB)

hi all! I havent change my modem yet but dial *#*#2263#*#* and put only 1900PCS and 1900WDCMA (because that the networks of my phone provider) and everything is going better till now

Will be doing more testing and come back to share my exp, my curr modem is the default one which install with doc v12 rom glitch kernel 14b6

EDIT: after a while still getting problem, changing of modem, looks like different modem is giving me more results :)

does this save battery life or anything? I'm on tmobile and I think we only use 1900 so I wonder if this is a good idea for me to do? Does anyone have any advice? (are you on tmobile, too?)

    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!
