Comparison of Different HSUPA i9000 Modems in Captivate

[fatttire]

Hi everyone -


I'd like to know the difference between each HSUPA i9000 modem that has been tested in the Captivate

I think it would be good to know what the strengths are, when / where it first emerged, and known issues with it.

If you post below I can keep this updated.

I'll start:



JG8 - i9000 Eclair ROM. Works for enabling 850 band for those launching a reorientated kernel. Do not use with Froyo.
JPP - i9000 Froyo ROM.

General principles:
- don't mix an i9000 modem with a cappy kernel or visa versa


Known issues with using an i9000 modem:
-bluetooth voice quality
-wired headsets don't work on mic


thanks all!

bump, i was just gonna ask the same question

The problem with asking questions like this in the Q&A section is that all the developers that can answer it well hang out in the Android development section and never come over here

And people wonder why there is so much spam in that thread.

C'mon guys, help me out, and lets prove that we don't have to start technical question threads in Android development in order to get an answer.

yeah real helpful. is there any difference in frequency support? can bluetooth work corectly along side hsupa yet?

which is the most recent? jg8, jpp, jpm? does one need to be installed before the other? are there any other known problems? battery drain? instability? ect?

someone must know

Haha funny! I thought of doing that myself but the problem with n=1 is that all you guys would get spammed with my own quirks. Hence why I didn't add the point about JG8 FC'ing on me under JG8- most people haven't said that - so I just have a weird bug with my location/hardware/who knows what. I'd kinda be spreading disinformation if I put it down as "truth"


Anyways, anything that anyone wants to contribute I'd be more than happy to include. I think it would be helpful. THanks.

JG8 - ???????
JPP - ???????



As you can see, I have no idea which one I should choose. This information is embedded within 1000's of pages of material and a good 30 minutes to an hour of reading didn't get me anywhere useful.

I had issues with JG8 FC'ing. Obviously not the case for everyone but in my circumstance I'm looking to try an alternative.

thanks all!

Well the one problem I find with every HSUPA modem is the Bluetooth quality sucks...Since Bluetooth is more important for me I don't use them anymore...Upload speeds are nice but I don't really need it...
