Help choosing a modem.

[donk232]

I'm currently switching up ics roms and kernels to see which works best for me but I do not understand modems so I need some help here. I saw jk4 on the map close to me. I live in jacksonville fl and commute all around the city and west of jacksonville daily I was wondering which ones to try out.
Thanks

Just start downloading them and trying them, giving them about 2 days before you decide if you like it. Several factors to consider are call quality, signal strength, battery life, and GPS reception. Since your using ICS roms, you must use the modems packaged as CM7/MIUI. You try using something else and it won't flash.
Look >>HERE<< for all the modems you would ever want to try. (FWIW, I like BVJWW2)

Like mrhaley said, there are a variety of things that affect it. JK4 worked great for me when I was in Florida, so I would start there. JW2 is nice also, but it seems like people can't hear me as well with it.

JK4 FTW! I've stayed with it since Eclair and it still works great now I'm on THS ICS. Great starting point to try out.

I flashed jk4 just now. Im over my data limit so I will not be testing internet yet, if it works better I will see better battery life because service is better and faster internet? Is that right?

I'm not sure about better battery life but call quality, data speed and connection stability will definitely improve if the modem is right for you

Better battery life will happen if it gives you better signal strength in the areas you spend the most time.

hope can get some advice

Hello guys, a few days back I flashed teamhacksung's CM9 ALPHA for Captivate (BUILD 17) on my wife's phone, but she has told me that her apps are not syncing outside of a wifi connection.

I'm thinking it might be something related to the modem.

So I'm looking for any advice on which moden should I load, considering we live in Venezuela? Any tips?

Regards.

Someone listed the "UGKC1" modem in use in Panama. You might consider UGJL2 or UGKG3 also, near by. Search "soggy cashew captivate modem" and check the map. Update your own listing if you find something that works.

That is a bit out of date, you probably should flash a newer build

Thanks for the info guys, had to flash elite v. 10.1 rom, this was the only rom that would enable data service.

Tried:
AOKP-captivatemtd-build-35
F1-galaxynexus-galaxys-20120502-beta2
Nostalgia-b31-v5.4
Team ICSSGS
CM9-20120510-nightly
CNA-1.5.5
Dark Knight v5.5

Elite v.10.1 was the only rom that connected data service.

The good things is that my wife likes it as is right now, which makes it easy on me. Hehehe.

Regards.
