AT&T doesn't even have HSPA+ support yet. A lot of places still don't even have 3G yet.

Using the speedtest.net app I've hit 4885kbps (which is a lot lower than my best results with the x10) but it is HSPA+ territory if I'm not mistaken.

That sounds about standard download speed for 3G. But alas you didn't say if that was up or download speed. Hspa+ territory is 22mb and up I think. Don't feel like looking it up again so I may be wrong entirely

Well i know that hspa+ isn't out yet
But I will br stick with this phone for a while so I was just wondering for my future...

The only things that AT&T currently sells that are HSPA+ enabled/capable are those USB dongles for internet plans. Some are even LTE capable.

Hmmm, not really an answer to the question though. I've been all over the forums and Google trying to find out if there are currently any modem releases for the Captivate that will enable / support HSPA+ speeds.
There is no consensus. Seems that some folks think that HSPA+ is just having HSDPA and HSUPA enabled on your device with the likes of the TLJL3 and other modem variants that enable HSUPA.
Others say that there is no currently available modem that supports HSPA+ speeds. So I ask plainly, which is it?
If there is an HSPA+ compliant modem, where do I get it so I can port it over and get rocking and rolling?

Huh? No responses?
Is the answer just that obvious, or does no one know the answer?

That was the most non cohesive sentence I have ever read.
To translate this manglish: I have a Galaxy Captivate for the past 3 weeks and nobody has been able to unlock this fantastic device.
.. have you read the Q&A? Or tried the 1-Click found in the Dev forum using the SEARCH feature?

The question was answered already but I will do it again. At this moment and time no it will not. Might be a modem thing but to be honest no one knows if there will be a modem that will support it..

[Q] CM7/MIUI and 850mhz Band on i9000m

I've tried a lot of combinations possible and can't seem to get the 850mhz band enabled on my i9000M. Anybody else able to get good reception with miui/cm7 and an i9000m in canada?

All the Canadian ones are in the Captivate directory. They're still in the SF repository. Why would anyone look in the i9000 section to find 850mhz capable basebands?
I ran JL2 for months, Then KC1 for a while. Now onto 2.3.3 with KC1 modem. Not much difference between JL2 and KC1. Both have amazing battery life. The biggest difference is I find the KC1 modem way better. I dropped calls at my house often with the last few months of JL2 but now I get good reception.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to check if my 850 bands are on or not. Or if the modem is even installed.
Anyone who could guide me in the right direction would be most kind.
For some reason my web browser doesn't connect through 3G, but it does with wifi, any hints?
Also thanks for the modem shadoslayer.

Because the Captivate != i9000m? I wouldn't think to check under the captivate section for modems for the i9000m, since the captivate is the SGH-i896. Considering it is a different build of CM7 for the captivate and the two aren't compatible, I wouldn't have thought the modems were either.

On the status bar, do you have "3G" or "H" beside the signal bars? If you have a H, you're using HSDPA, which is good.
As for checking the bands under CM7, I have no idea how either and would really like to know since CM doesn't support samsung unstructured supplementary service data (USSD)...
And np on the modem and thanks for Furry for pointing out the modems are in the captivate section of sourceforge.
hey guys, while on this topic. What do you guys get with speed test? I'm on CM7 and KC1 and just ran it. Got 113ms ping, 1.27Mbps, 3.28Mbps. This is at 4:30pm. Ran it a few times, switching between Toronto and Oakville servers. Slow download
Edit:
Sigh. Just reran and got 6.11Mbps down and 1.59Mbps. Much better.

Yeah I have the H, so HSDPA is working, I suspect that's good for rural areas and low signal areas and I'm using most of my bands?
Also found this:
*#*#4636#*#* on phone dial pad, select phone information
It gets a bit of info on the radio methinks, but it hasn't gotten me closer to figuring out why my browsers only connect via wifi.

I didn't know about that code, thanks. Still doesn't show if the phone is on 1900/850 though. And I'm curious, when/how does the phone decide to switch between the two?

I restarted my phone and re selected, de selected bell for network operators. Double checked the APN settings (which were correct) Then went into proxy settings under system, and noticed the proxy was off, I turned that on, now everything is working dandy!
Strange I thought I did that before, but perhaps I didn't. Thanks Again!

Those are Samsung USSD codes and will work fine under any Samsung based rom, but they will not work under CM7. Those USSD codes must be in code either not released or not released under GPL for use in CM7.
I've asked a bunch of times and no one ever answered, so I'm assuming there is no way under CM7 to see which band the phone is currently using, which is incredibly frustrating!

I know on my Carrier (Telstra Australia) when it is connected to 850 it is connected to 'Telstra' and when its on 2100 its connected to '3Telstra'. I checked that in settings, above phone, Phone stats I think its called? Do you have something similar?
And I fixed my 3g but going to 2g and back to 3g Before that it was connoecting to 2100mhz :\ Weird..

I'm on CM7 with Bell as well and it works great out of the box, without knowing about this 850 band I dont know if I should flash the kc1 modem. Maybe just for kicks?

You have gotten the answer a few times...there is no way to check the band in CM7. If you feel you need one, raise it in the Dev forum once they open it back up to feature requests in a few weeks.
I would advise flashing KC1 and seeing how it goes. Keep an eye on your battery life, and how often the notification bar flips from 3G to H, and run Speedtests a few times a day. After a few days, decide if it is working better for you or not..if not, flash something else.
Modems are like fake IDs...if one doesn't work, flash another one.

[Q] [Solved] GSM Tmo Tab with JK3 modem, no service!

Hi everyone, I flashed different ROMs for a couple of weeks, and finally decide to settle down with OC 2.3.3, the July 15th latest one. However, the same problem occurred, which is with a Tmo Modem in the tab, I have great signal, EDGE data, and no phone function. With JK3, I got nothing, which is the main reason I switched back to Froyo at first.
I am a ATT user, holding a Tmo GT. I didn't find any fimilar threads, and in fact, I think this is a question needs precise answers.
Thanks in advance!
Updated on #4
UPDATE: I find the signal sometimes appeared and give me GPRS... So weird... I even reflash the rom again, not help. So any other paople could help me?

You can use the t-mobile modem, and you will only get EDGE. You can use a vibrant modem and you can get voice and EDGE.
BUT YOU WILL NEVER GET 3G.
There are probably a five hundred posts on this.
And it will never matter which rom you use. It is only due to hardware limitations, as I explained to you elsewhere.
Thanks for the help, but you misunderstood. I know the edge and voice stuff, just the modem didnt work on my tab.
Since I absolutely want gingerbread this time, I finally figure this out, I went to wireless settings and select GSM only, instead of autoselect. NOW I can FINALLY make calls and get edge instead of gprs. I will keep tracked to see if this method could solve the problem eventually.
People see alot of similar threads and they forgot to care about simple problems because they thought it was old, which in fact isnt. Still thank this forum for bringing me all the great things!

Why can't you switch to a t-mobile sim card so you can enjoy the 3g?
Do u mean if I switch to tmobile I could get 3g and voice? I am managing a family plan right now and my wife is waiting for iphone 5, but if that is the situation, I might consider switching... ao attractive...

From my understanding TMO only provide 3G data plan for tab. No voice plan. Am i right rangercaptain? You did explain to me last time in other treat that only certain region receive the voice plan.

You are 100% right.
T-mobile tabs in the USA get voice or 3g using the switch.
In a few other countries t-mobile tabs get voice and 3g, no switch needed.

Yes, sort of.
You would have to install the Rotohammer modem switch.
Mode #1 = voice, sms, and EDGE speed data.
Mode#2 = 3g data only.

[REF] Gingerbread GPS fixes and the vibrant - read before posting GPS fix

I'm seeing tons of GB GPS fixes for the vibrant even though most will not work.
I saw GPS files for the bell and virgin vibrant posted here and files for the
telus Fascinate 3G+. These files will not work because the vibrant carries a different hardware radio.
The T-mobile US Vibrant is a special variant as our phone is the only galaxy s device (other than the SGS4G) that has the 850,1700,1900,2100 bands, all other galaxy s variants have 850,900,1900,2100mhz bands. Our vibrant requires 1700 3g because thats what tmobile US uses for 3G, because of this difference we need a different hardware radio, That's also why we cannot use i9000 modems on the vibrant for tmobile US The bell and vibrant are just rebranded GT-i9000's and the Telus Fascinate 3G+ looks like a vibrant but may even be more similar to a captivate because of the hardware radio. Even though they may have the same styling or name it does not work because of the hardware radio.
The Captivate has a near identical (FM Radio is not present) hardware radio that allows it to use i9000 Modems and GPS files, same with the telus fascinate.
The vibrant and the SGS4G have different hardware radios to support 21mb/s HSPA+. These two hardware radios are similar enough to allow GPS to work but remain modems non-functioning. Romans GPS fix worked but had long lock times and poorly working compass.
Heathens Gingerbread gps fixed worked on the vibrant on 2.2 very well but fails on 2.3. What I think is the vibrant may have hardware similar enough to allow some files to work on one version of android but maybe completely useless on another version of android.
Just so you guys know,
Bell and virgins vibrants ARE NOT T-mobile US vibrants
Telus fascinates LOOK LIKE but ARE NOT T-mobile US vibrants
International galaxy s vibrants ARE Bell and Virgin Vibrants
Rodgers captivates ARE IDENTICAL to at&t captivates
The i9000 galaxy s and the bell and virgin vibrants HAVE NEAR IDENTICAL RADIOS to the rodgers and at&t captivates
Tmobile US SGS4G's are SIMILAR to the Tmobile US Vibrant

Just one tip philliple...when trying to sound like you know something never use the term "what I believe is". Don't get me wrong I am guilty of it also. Instead you might say "correct me if I'm wrong but..." Gives your statement an air of confidence and knowledge yet gives you an out if in fact what you said is incorrect. And I do know how old you are, we all do so respect there.
That said you are correct the GPS does require data in our case cellular data. While we can use the gps without cell data, on a wifi connection for instance, because the GPS is on a phone the code for the drivers would be written to connect to cell service. Therefore GPS files, such as drivers (some files that don't require code to the network will work, such as GPS conf.), can not just be pulled from any phone. This is why the files pulled from the Vibrant 4G work and the ones from Captivate do not.
Here is a link to a little light reading for anyone that wants to learn more about the GPS on their phone...http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33637/how-does-gps-in-a-mobile-phone-work-exactly Pay close attention to the AGPS section. This is what our phone uses. Never-mind the fact that whats written in the link was posted a couple of years ago because it is still the same priciples.

Not being rude but all you did is give a long winded "our phone is unique" statement, something that anyone who has looked at this forum since getting a vibrant would realize...
Not really sticky material. Nice info though. Maybe talk the the author if the vibrant bible and you can get a link in his thread for info.... Still doubtful.

I don't believe this is correct. Our phones have GPS hardware are capable of independent GPS, that is GPS without data assistance for a lock. It takes quite a bit longer without AGPS, but it is entirely possible. Try changing your GPS to standalone mode, disabling all other location services (via WiFi and via cell tower) and putting it into Airplane Mode, then launch Google Maps. You can obtain a lock.

[Q] How do I enable HSPA now that I've flashed to 2.3.4 on my Rogers Captivate?

Just finished flashing my Rogers Galaxy S Captivate to 2.3.4 with the ROM in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233620
From what I've read it's a stock AT&T ROM. I backed up my APN settings using the "APN Back and Restore" app, seems to have worked just fine. Phone works, internet works, everything seems to work just fine.
However, on my stock 2.2 I was getting HSPA. I've read around the boards and it seems as if the stock AT&T ROMS don't have HSPA ability out of the gate. Can anyone recommend a solution for getting my HSPA speeds back?
That would require an I9000 kernel/modem combination. And I do not know if that would work on that firmware. Pretty sure it won't.
Oh I did read about that, but wasn't sure if it would work with this firmware as you have pointed out.

You are both correct from the reading I've done as well. The i9000 ROM's allow both HSDPA, and HSUPA(4G). The i897 ROM's make use of the faster DL speeds just as the i9000's but do not allow for HSUPA, but they enable the use of the Audience Chip, which gives better call quality than the i9000 ROM's.

HSDPA+HSUPA does not equal 4g.

in AT&T's eyes it does. at least thats what they like to trick their '4G' customers into thinking....

It's AT&T's version of "4G". It's really only the addition of the higher Upload speeds. Nothing changes regarding the DL speeds. In my area, upload speeds go from about 500-700kbps to around 1700kbps
Thanks for the help everyone, I appreciate the info.

I Have Mine - What Can I do?

Is there anything I can do to help anyone? I'm not a dev, but I would love to help however I can.
retail version?
You could see if the HTCDEV international unlock works for the Sprint version too

Yes it does work or should work as it is already confirmed by HTCDEV.com in a response to an user query through their twitter account. Here is the proof.

Yep - retail.
You can go ahead and sell it to me for $5.
Haha
Seriously though, like the other user asked... Do you have LTE in your area? If so, can you give comparisons of the device you had previously and the One now. Like what levels of RSRP are you seeing in places you frequent versus your previous device.

I am in the Twin Cities, MN, so I have LTE in various places. I won't be able to compare to my EVO because it's not active on my line, but I'll post speeds later tonight when I go through an LTE zone (thank you Micro Center for being perfectly placed...).
Testing now. I would like to go S-Off before I test, but I guess that can wait.

Can you find someone with a GS3 or other Sprint LTE device and show the network status screen of each?

I will see. I tend not to associate with people with SG3s... I have an Evo, so does my bro. When we get the chance I'll compare. By then they should be out though... I'll see if I can get out tomorrow.
