Hi guys,
I just recently flashed the 1035.21_20110405 baseband...
My phone came with the 20110218 baseband.
However, after flashing the baseband, i seem to have data connectivity and GPS problems.
GPS cannot lock me on even after 5 minutes. (i stopped trying after that)
Data also occassionally disconnects itself, and seems to reset the sim as though the phone just booted [but it doesn't] request the sim pin])
I've seldom had this when i was with the 20110218 baseband.
Does anyone have the 20110218 baseband or know how to check the phone's supl setting???
Did you also flash the new RIL? I think [email protected] has made an update.zip for stock, if that's what you're running.

I'm running f12, so it should be already there..

Hm. I'm on fr12 as well, and though I don't use gps much, I've never had problems getting a fix.
I do use the EternityProject 1.3 kernel, but I'm not sure if that would make a difference...

Just flashed the new baseband and RIL and saw your post. Started Sygic Aura inside by my window and fix within 5 sec. And don't seem that I have problems with datacomms either... sorry

hi all,
when i first got my galaxy s it was locked to Orange (UK Network) and i unlocked the phone to be used on any network, and have been happily using it for well over half a year, i also attempted to flash the F1 SG2 Rom, however, there wasnt enough space on the partition so i flashed the phone back to XXJVQ (which i had on the phone before trying to install the F1 ROM) however, now my phone doesn't recognise the SIM that i put in, im wondering if the flash had anything to do with it or if the phone has locked itself. i have been researching around and some people have said that its something to do with efs or IMEI, i have no clue what that means but its sounds important, they also say that you need backups of these and that they contain phone files, however, if they were important there would be more emphasis placed on backing them up...
anyone who has had the same issue or someone who knows whats going on please help. everything else works fine, so is there a way to get my phone to read the SIM again without risking totally bricking the whole thing??
an (easy to understand) guide on how to fix this would be much appreciated...
thank you.......

Flash a kernel with root........ There's plenty in the development thread. You could also flash a new modem. Very simple.

Kk. Ill try but i alreadt flashed a kernel in order to aquore root. Wouldnt it just be the same thing if i flash a new ? Thanks for reply though...

Your imei is the code that identifies your phone. Look in settings, about phone, status.
Have you tried reflashing your rom?
If all else fails, i would recommend a flash of jm9 with odin. Files can be found at samfirmware.com. It's got me out of some deep black holes in the past!
Don't stress too much mate, there's been plenty of times that my phone hasn't recognised my sim when flashing cm7.
Reflash your rom, if that doesn't work, flash jm9, and most of all, relax.

Worth trying the simple things, take out sim, clean and reinsert, this has worked for me in the past, and when you do get going again get sgs toolbox and with that you can make a back up of your efs folder, check your imei against the label on box that phone came in

Theres only 1 thing. Im running Gingerbread w.e.r XXJVQ not Froyo. :0 will flashing this help?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Jm9 helps everything - trust me.
When you flash a rom with odin it completely wipes your phone. The process of getting cm7 2.3.4 on your phone involves flashing back to froyo or eclair first.
You seem hesitant, if you're worried, i suggest you spend a few days reading up. Try the sticky on rooting/flashing in the development section.
P. S. There's a thanks button at the bottom of every post.

You have to flash fixgps.zip it should work then but i havent time yet to checkt it by myself if it realy works! And of course you need to have the older version of maps installed to navigate!

I have tried gps status and other apps.. the problem is it dont even see the satellite, locking the satellite is far away thing..
Before that, on stock froyo it worked very well.. but now messed up.. no gps signal or anything.. is it problem on cm7 or what else?

Hi,
I've had my Galaxy S for ~ a year now and have never had a problem with signal problems. I bought a second Galaxy S for my wife, and it gets a very weak signal. I've tried switching the sim cards, but have the same issue - the new one has low signal, my older one has full bars.
They are both running cyanogenmod nightlies (ver. 9)
The only difference I see is baseband. The one with full bars is running I9000XJVK the one with weak strength is I9000XXJVT.
Is this the problem? Can I change the newer phone to I9000XXJVK?
Hey man this is what you are looking for. Grab the jvk zip from here and flash it in cwm that will change your baseband to the same as your phone. Baseband is your modem. Build is the firmware that phone is running. This will fix it guaranteed.

Thanks - just flashed it, the modems are the same now. I still seem to have the same problem though. Wifi works fine, by my signal strength sucks.
Any other thoughts? I'm lost here.
Hopefully it's not a hardware problem..
Where do you live? For example. I live in Canada so I use the Ugkg3. Modem. Btw the wifi connection is not effected by the modem.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
I live in Ottawa.
One of the sim cards is 7-eleven (Rogers) the other is PCTelecom (bell)
They both get full strength on one of the phones, and only 1 bar if anything on the other.
Try the Ugkg3 modem its in the same thread.

I've tried installing:
JVK
JL2
KC1
KG3
nothing
Hmmm kg3 is the north American modem. I think jvk is for Europe. If it still doesn't improve I would guess hardware. Was it always this bad? Did you buy your phone with cm9?

I don't know if it was always this bad, I bought it used and then installed CM9 on it.
Guess I'll keep playing with it and see what I can figure out.
Maybe flash it back to gingerbread, wipe it and reformat the internal sd. I'd use the kg3 modem though. Have you used odin before?

I've used Odin before. I can try to flash it back.
I was looking at the back of the two phones - beside the sim card there is something that looks like a sticker, it looks like this has been pulled off on the one that doesn't work as well. Could this be the issue? Based on what I've found, the antenna is around that area...
Seems like hardware, but I would flash it back to stock gingerbread. There is a thread in general with all the stock roms and odin and pit files. Grab the odin download with pit files. Use 512 pit. Grab the Ugkg3 download under north America in that thread its 2.3.3. But let's just see if it fixes it. Before doing the flash I would go into cwm and wipe cache, dalvik cache and factory reset. Also reformat internal sd under settings. The only way to completely eliminate a software problem is to make your phone bone stock.

Ok, doing it now. Fingers crossed.
If it is a hardware issue, am I screwed? or is there anything I can do to try to fix it?
If it's hardware then you would need to take it for repair. You would think if it were hardware then there would be no signal at all.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
No dice. Weak or no signal.
I'll do some reading up on hardware issues. I only paid $65 for the phone, so I guess it's not the worst thing that could happen, but still annoying.
Bummer. Gl man.

Not sure that I have the skills to take the phone apart and solder it, but atleast I know the issue now.
Did your signal get better when you put a piece of wire in the socket?

Yup. I've taped a small piece of wire into the socket and I'm up to 3 bars.
I'll have to find someone to do a more permanent job
Sigh.
Now to root again. What's the easiest way? I think I used an old method last time.
Couple days ago I flashed cm7 on my phone, at first everything worked fine and it was awesome. I should mention that I'm new to the modding scene. Anyways I'm having problems with my mobile network. I can't make any calls because apparently my phone cannot find my mobile network.
I've done a little research and I think I might have to flash my radio which should be no problem. I've read forums and have tried to find the appropriate "modem.bin" for my phone but some of the threads date back to a year or longer. Does anybody have a link to the best modem for my phone/rom?
This is the rom I flashed cm-7.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip from the cyanogenmod download site (won't let me post links -.-)
My other options I suppose would be to flash another rom and hope it works.
EDIT
I found this post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9579987&postcount=11945 ) and it turns out that JK3/JK4 modems work for Bell in Canada. Just wondering, do the modems have to be compatible with roms?
ya the modems have to be compatible.. actually samsung code based roms and google code based roms have different installation files for modems
for me the KB3 and KF1 modems from this link CM7 modems ported from Nexus S work best..
When i first moded my i9000 it had its modem changed akd i got horrible reception. Like i wouldnt get service at the back of the grocery store, where my mom would get full bars on her stock phone. So i flashed to kg3. It is the stock i9000 gb modem. If you can't find it, pm me, I have a flashable zip on my computer!

I guess I'll try and flash KB3 or KF1 first and see if I get any good results, I'll update my post when I do. I suppose I should also read up on android devices to try and get a sense of how things work. Does anybody know any good educational sites for android? Thanks again for the help! it's appreciated.

Thanks for the tip, I know xda is an awesome site for information but I feel like the info is all over the place and sometimes a little challenging to find. I was looking for a more organized source of info.
I flashed the KF1 radio but I still don't connection to my carrier (msg: mobile network not available). I'll keep searching the forums to check if anyone has had the same issues. Any input would be appreciated, not quite sure what it could be at this point.
