Im using Darkys rom running on the 1900 band everything works fine but was wondering if it would be better to flash to the JL2 modem and if id see a difference?
Other question is it possible to get the SamsungLM app from the stock rom and install it on Darkys rom? If yes how would I go.about doing that?

I and several others flash the JL2 modem. You then need to go into the service menu and enable 850mhz. Being stuck in 1900 means that if you're in an area where 1900 is weak (or non-existent) and 850 is strong, you won't have reception.
Ok thanks will flash JL2 modem.
And now is there a way to.go.in the JL2 file and get some of the stock apps to port on darkys rom. Im really missing SamsungIM and the bell nav app.

Ive got 9.2 and just moved on 3 network. Whats the cause ? Is it my modem? And also my fone last 7 hours and charges quick. I dnt know. Tried configurin it . Thanks

Doesn't 3 have shocking reception? Here in australia they are a joke. The only way I countered this weakness was to install jpe modem. Now signals a bit better than jpy but battery on standby is exceptional.

Yes i heard very shocking. And the best for 3g as they own most of 3g but its not that fast. How do i check jpy? And move to jpe . I.am a noob lol

Put it on root of sd card.
Go into recovery
Choose install from sd card
Install jpe or whatever modem you choose.
Thank you friend

It's VERY easy. Download the modem you want and put it on the root of the SD card. Make sure the modem is a CWM flashable zip. Reboot into CWM, install, then reboot. All done. Depending on where you live, will affect which modem you should use. If you're in the US, JK4 is a VERY good one.

Happened to me too.
I initially flashed KG3, but right now I'm using the one that comes with LANIGHT 8.0 (totally recommend that rom btw) it's KC1 I think it works a bit better (might be just my impression).
Good luck!!

If your rom is jellybean, ics, cm, miui, or similar then u need to use i9000 modems for those. See this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16843698

I think the stock one is JK4 for JB. But for jamaica, I'd suggest looking at the modems your carrier is on, those would probably be the best.
Ok after doing some research i found out that the network I'm on uses the 900mhz frequency.. which modem uses 900mhz as default?

A modem with 850mhz unlocked would probably do great but what I think would be best is to find the base of your carrier's modem.

Well, JK4 is actually UGJK4. So let's say you have JK3 (UGJK3) and it works great, you know that the newer modem, JK4, will work well.
But now that I'm thinking about it, did your phone come with GB? If so, it's quite hard to us to know which modem is came with. Modems are by area so (almost) every carrier uses different one. There's a modem thread in the Dev section (stickied), you might have to try a few different one.

When i got the phone it was running Froyo which I later updated to GB.. my brother's Cappy has the UCKK4 and he's still running GB.. we got the phone the same time and both updated the same time so I'm assuming that is what I had before I upgraded to JB.. I'm on JK3 modem but i can't seem to flash JK4 or any other modem.. it always ends with an error...

U can use Odin3 v1.83 (the regular Odin) to flash a modem as well. Just pull the modem.bin out of the cwm zip of the modem u want, get into download mode, put the modem.bin in the PHONE tab/slot in Odin and flash.

No need to give up, you can flash modems after modems without any problem. It just a bit time consuming.
To be safe, backup your efs folder so that if your IMEI is unknown again, you can use the backup.

From what i know of the Captivate specs...the gsm 900mhz frequency that it can operate on is just the 2g/edge network. U said u saw the H before on GB rom (custom rom or leaked firmware, i'm guessing?). That letter H can be changed to read whatever letter u want. Just saying.
So in reality the problem may not be the modems (although some modems will work better than others for sure), it may just be the network service that your provider has in your area... It may just be low/bad cell signal.
What other frequencies are used by your provider ? Compare that with the frequency band specs of the Captivate and you will get a better answer on the quality of service you should expect. Maybe your provider has a coverage map that you could compare to as well.
