Hey all, since I've started using Axura and Assonance I've have random total service drops that stick until a reboot. I've flashed both jpp and jpm modems and get the same eventual result. Also, in the network control section of the service menu I've tried to use only 1900 bands then only 850 bands--still same crap. Anyone have any ideas??? Thanks!
I had some bad service/no service issues at first. Try a master clear, stock reinstall of perception. It has the hspa modem. Works great and solved all my problems!
hey jd, thanks for the reply. yeah i flashed stock and master cleared last night but still no dice. weird stuff man...
I've had the same issues. I found that going into service mode and changing network control to wcdma 1900 only helped. I think it has to do with band switching.

Hmmm... Try a odin flash of a modem... if that doesnt help, go stock and go visit att lol

that's weird, i did read that working for some people but hasn't for me. are you running axura or assonance? if so, which modem--jk3?
i've flashed jpp and jpm to no avail. i should go to att and make a big scene with a rep while i'm running froyo and a custom rom--that would be hilarious
I am having the exact same issue. I have tried several roms and modems with no luck. I called at&t tech support, they had me flash back to stock and then they did some magic push to my phone to try and fix the issue. It worked great for a couple weeks, but who wants stock? So I tried to flash everything again and now I'm back to the same random no service issue until I reboot. Gonna flash back to stock again tomorrow to see if that fixes it again. Let me know if you make any progress with this issue!
I've found one of my brothers! I've seen others who have the issue in various i9000 rom threads for the captivate but never a definitive answer. So weird, did you happen to get your phone near launch day? Or do you live near Dallas, TX? Grabbing at straws here...

I would recommend the same, have seen funky modem issues in the past that were resolved by re-flashing the modem only (using odin not an update.zip).
I have already flashed the older i9000 modems with no luck but I'll re-flash jk3--who knows. Has anyone tried using a Captivate modem with the current i9000 roms?
Edit: Re-flash didn't help

I did get my phone near launch day, but in Phoenix, AZ. I'm about to give this issue another few hours of tinkering to see if I can make any progress. I'll let you know if I do.
chiming in from a similar thread that was in development but got moved over here.
i can confirm that for me it seems to be in connection with the phone jumping between 3G and H (i believe i am inbetween towers where i live). i also have a day 1 captivate, but i live in southern NJ.
i have 2 questions:
1) i just odin'ed back to stock. i am trying to do a master clear as well, for good measure. however, i start the master clear and it either stops after a sliver of progress, or after about 20% progress. doesnt appear the phone is doing anything and odin just sits there. i let it run the first time for about 20 mins, didnt go past 20%. - any idea on why this is or what i can do to get a full master clear?
2) i believe i will be flashing over to perception 8. once that is done, id like to re-flash the modem only. would anyone be able to point me to how that is done? i can get the modem.bin from the modem thread, but i wasnt sure if it was just a matter of picking that file in odin and hitting go, or if it was a little more sensitive.
thanks for the help and reading. glad im not the only one in limbo with this issue!
1. Make sure you aren't in DL mode if you're master clearing.
2. You need the full version of odin (3.0 I think) and put the modem.bin in the phone section (you'll see once you get odin 3.0). But again, I've flashed jpp and jpm and it didn't work for me

got it. thanks.
at this point im willing to try it if for some reason it has worked for others.
im wondering why this problem occurs after a while. some kind of cache filling up? ATT's network rejecting the phone?
bleh.
yeah it's really weird. for me it will sometimes happen within 20 minutes of a reboot and being in the same location. other times i'll have service for a few hours. best of luck with the modem and let me know how it turns out!
Here is what I did today:
Restored back to JF6 using the Odin 1 click application
Did a Master Clear using the Odin 1 click application
Rooted using the one-click root app
Installed CWM and flashed Perception Build 8
So far I haven't had the no reception issue, but sometimes it seems to work normally for a while then just starts having problems constantly. I'll post back if I do start having problems, but this is the most promising attempt so far. I also did a bunch of other stuff prior to restoring back to JF6, tried flashing several modems and ROMs, but nothing was really helping. I think that odin restore clears everything completely, so hopefully nothing I did prior to that was actually required to make things work.
Here are a couple of things I ran across while I was trying to get this all working, some I tried, some I didn't, but different people said these helped them so I wanted to list them here in case they are useful.
Do not have your phone plugged in to USB when you flash the ROM with CWM. People mentioned this messing up their flash, but it didn't seem to affect mine.
Some people did not have any data signal at all right after flashing Perception, they had to enable/disable airplane mode before anything started working.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my phone will actually keep working this time. Unfortunately, it sounds like some of you have already tried basically the same steps I did and haven't had any luck so this post may not be incredibly helpful to everyone.

i definitely appreciate the information and post. the more we discuss it the better the odds of coming up with a solution are.
i just did the same as you (odin to stock, cwm to percp.8) - i will also post back with findings.
i agree we just need to keep talking about this problem until it gets solved.
a few hrs into perception 8. all is well so far.
will leave it on the charger overnight and post back if the issue
comes up or a few days go by and it doesn't.

Ok so I'm running Darky's 7.5 ROM just loaded it and it's flying . i'm having issues connecting to my carrier. I"m from canada and run on a network owned by Sasktel. We get our phones from Bell and our current release is JL2 I think. I was running this ROM fine but wanted to see what all the hype was about .
Now the only problem i'm having is I can't register on my network and thus my phone isn't working as a phone, lol. can someone help me set it up. here are the frequencies we run on.
SaskTel
GSM - N/A
UMTS/HSPA - 850/1900
I went into the APN and set that up so I should have data I just need to get registered. I can see the network Sasktel but it wont let me register. I get the exact message when clicking on it
"Registering on Sasktel......You SIM card does not allow a connection on this network"
any help would be great, thanks
I tried going in here *#2263# but didn't know what to pick so I left it to automatic
I don't know.
When you flash back to official firmware, everything works fine again ?
This may sound funny but try 'sim unlock' your phone.
after flashing, your phone might have reverted back it's original lock which is to BELL.
I agree with the other reply stating for you to have your phone unlocked.

I unlocked my phone a while back and it's unlocked still, Network lock = off. and yes flashing to other roms specifically for my phone will work fine on the network. Is this because Darky's ROM is based on a European ROM JPY and i'm supposed to be running a Canadian ROM JL2?
Hi. I have a SGS straight from Sasktel here in SK. I checked my setting under 2263, and it is automatic (top one). After I checked it, it lost cellular connection for about a minute, then eventually came back (phew!).

awesome what happens when you go back into 2263 and click on the wcdma band, which ones are stared in there?I have 2100, 1900 and 900 starred but 850 is not.....Also could you post your APN settings. those are in settings, wireless network, mobile networks, access point names and then click on the inet.stm.sk.ca one and if it's not too much for you could you post them up here along with the wcdma band settings.

can we actually install darkys rom on BELL vibranat i9000M
i would like to find out if darkys Rom works with Bell vibrant thats i9000M from canada ?
well his rom is up and running fine yes, I just have to get the right setting to run on my carrier....I own a i9000m it's a bell phone that my carrier gets supply from. So yes his rom works great on this phone, it's so fast, I might try flashing a modem for the canadian phones and see if that works i'll post back
SOLVED - Sasktel (Bell) running Darky's ROM
So I figured it out, I was running JL2 and then flashed speedmod kernel to get 2e. I then upgraded to Darky's 7.5 ROM, when that came up I was unable to get on the network. I was getting an error "Sim doesn't allow connection on the network" error when looking in providers. anyways, I just flashed the JK3 modem and i'm back on the network with Darky's rom
I grabbed the modem from here.

I used JK3 because they were having issues with JK4 bricking for some reason and didn't want to risk it. now to just get JL2 modem some how
There is a JL2 modem floating around somewhere.
I am also running jk3 modem with xxJPY, love my phone now.
No more bridling issues

It's very simple, TURN OFF ANY/ALL lag fixes!!!!! Back your **** up. then you can begin
You phone should be unlocked but might not have to be.....mine was, you can grab sgs unlocker form the app market also, You have to be running 2e recovery. so check on that first by powering your phone off, wait till it's actually off, froyo vibrates when it's shut down. After it's off, hold volume up, home button and power till you see the i9000m then let it go. it should boot into recovery. If you were running Froyo then you will have a 3e recovery, we need 2e. Also you should check and make sure you can get into download mode, by powering off, volume down, home and power key. If you can't get inot download mode you have to fix that first. if you can proceed:
So grab the recent stable speedmod kernel from hardcore here DON'T get the development version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756&highlight=speedmod
depending on how you want to flash grab either the CWM or the other one which needs to be flashed via odin. Flash either or and your phone should boot with 2e. follow the instructions hardcore has posted and make sure you hit the thanks button for him .
After we have 2e installed you can grab Darky's ROM located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
I used the non wipe one and didn't have issues, make sure you back your **** up before flashing anything. If you notice battery drain after you flash you could flash the wipe version just to make sure. anyways, Follow Darky's instructions to the T and dont forget to thank him
After his ROM boots, I grabbed a modem for our phones (bell, sasktel) I used JK3 because the search wasn't working last night but found this morning a link to JL2....i'm not sure if this is legit JL2 because I haven't used it but give it a shot if it doesn't work flash another on top (I can confirm JK3 works)
JL2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1293577837
Grabbed that from a link Samdroid_G_S posted so thank him for that.
JK3: was from docs link located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846237&highlight=bell
you can thank him for that. I used JK3 because of the issues JK4 was causing. I wouldn't use JK4 but that' up to you.
again you can use either odin or CWM to flash the modem. once you flash the modem you should be able to register on the network. you might not have internet, so you will need to go in and edit your access point name. Located in your phone here:
Settings | wireless and network | Mobile Networks | access point names
If it is blank click the menu button and New APN, all you need for sasktel's is a name, can be whatever and APN, the APN should be "inet.stm.sk.ca" without the quotes. Leave everything else default and save it. you will have to click the bullet after you created it so it knows to use it. should be good after that. For bell just do a quick google search for bell apn or bell access point name, i'm sure someone has posted on xda also.
I am not responsible if you brick your phone, this is entirely on you if that happens.
Thanks man
That's what I have been looking for . A step by step tutorial how is the rom working for you I will give it a shot . I hope sd card Won't die on me again .I can deal with other problems but what could u do when sd card dies
on u .Thanks!
Hey no problem, by default the voodoo lag fix is disabled but honestly you won't need it.....

Nice, one of the great posts ever on xda. Is there any advantage to running darky's ROM? My SGS on JL2 has been good, and battery life seems awesome now that I turned off automated email checking.

Pretty much preference I guess. I love Darky's ROM but JL2 was good, Darky's seems faster it's built upon 2.2.1 and I read Samsung did some kernel upgrades so that's why it's faster. If you do try it out just make sure you can get into recovery and download mode first.
i can confirm that Darkys rom works, I'm running 7.6 atm. I did notice that the APN settings in my original settings were missing ports numbers for data.
I tried this and it did not work, I still don't have data connection and I am on Bell canada.
Are u still getting text's? If so then you are registered on the network, all you have to do is go into your access point names and create an entry, then highlight it after it's saved. See my post above

Bell i9000m (JL2 build / modem)
I have a question. I installed a GPS optimisation app from the app store and ever since my GPS has been terrible - I'm talking 3-5 mins just to get a lock. Is there a quick/easy solution to this ? I.E. reflash the modem ? I am using a JL2 850 band modem as I am with Bell with an i9000m. Please any assitance or advice would be appreciated.
Also second to this issue is surrounding Darky's Rom - is it possible for i9000m phones on the Bell Band (Jl2 modem) ? any advice ?
Darky's rom works with bell on i9000. Wife has it and works, but the GPS does not lock now.
I have tried all the apps but that is not the issue, its gets max 7 satelites and low signal outside. When trying nav app it will just sit and wait for gps. Turned off network based aiding of gps signal.
Darky's rom v9.3 with JL2 modem
If installing the gps app didn't fix it (would have been good to say what app btw), then you'll need to flash a full rom to refer the change. Flashing modem firmware won't do anything.
All roms can work with 850 3g, comes down to your modem firmware and how the settings are tweaked in the numeric code menu. You can even use 850 3g on non-850 modem firmware without a problem, you just may need to tweak the advanced settings.

I had this same issue (though not with darky's with seeARMS rom) - I'm was using SOK kernel but now im using Damion's ...
I messed it up by installing some GPS optimization app.
Believe it or not I solved it. I uninstalled Audio Galaxy -- not sure why but this worked. Does she have this app
I has similar problem. Phone as delivered had JL2 and I got GPS running by flashing JM9 GPS fix firmware. I backed this running image up with CWM and played a bit with seeARMS rom but it does not have working swype and for some reason Touchdown was reaaaal slow so decide to return to previous image. The CMW restore failed though due to a bad MD5 so I flashed the full JL2 via Odin (a good cleanout) and reflashed the JM9 GPS firmware and fixed the GPS problem again (cleared the GPS stats as well). Now get quick locks even indoors. Why the long story? The fix is repeatable. JK4 modem reportedly gives better performance but I am unlikley to fix what is not broken now. Maybe try JK4 modem first and if does not work then JL2 modem then over flash the JM9 GPS only firmware.

I installed Darky's 9.3 rom and believe I may have lost the 850 band for the Bell Canada network. Is there a modem I can safely flash and has anyone else had this issue?
Flash jl2 it's the best one so far, you might have to manually input the access point name....i started with darky's rom's and had to do this every time....that might be resolved by now so start with jl2 and see how it goes!

Thanks for your reply. Did you do this with 9.3 with no issues? Could you point me to the right link so I don't mess this up or is it simply JL2 under the modem thread?
No I haven't done it with his 9.3 but you can just flash the file, unfortunatly I don't have the file as I'm on my phone and not near a computer but post in his thread and ask for the jl2 modem.zip that you can flash in recovery....someone will post

Thanks, just applied this and *#0011# shows me on band 850. Interestingly the GPS fix was really quick on the previous modem but didn't get a fix on this JL2. Will go see if I can clear the settings and leave it for a bit to see if it will work. Prior to Darky's Rom my GPS would never work properly either.

hi there, I am having the same problem, but I flask with the attached zip file and when I go to choose WCDMA with 850, it said the menu does not exist?
anyone can help please?
Still Nothing
Hey All:
I am hoping that someone can help me here. I flashed in Darky's 9.5 rom and it looks to be going well except that I cannot get the data network to start. I am on a I9000M (Bell Canada). I can send and receive txt messages and phone calls but cannot get the data network to start. I have flashed in the Update JL2 modem from above and when the phone boots I can see the 3G and H symbols in the notification area but then they go away. There is no wireless around but that does work. The *#0011# show that I am on WCDMA 850 Band 5, is that good?
I just flashed this last night so I really don't know what to do next. Any help would be great
TIA

I would really appreciate some help. I'm stationed at Fort Nowhere for some Army training and I get emergency service only unless I force WCDMA only. Any ideas why I'm having this problem?
Have you done anything to your phone lately? Changed modems, roms, anything? What rom are you on? Does anyone else have any other signal there? Are you a stock rom? These are questions that may be able to help someone help you out further.
Presuming there IS a signal to be had there (I have had that come up when I was in a place that literally had NO signal and only showed a circle with a li e through it where the 3g/H would be). If others have a signal and depending on your rom your using, ie:rooted, etc. You could download the appropriate modems for your phone and flash them in cwm until you find one that has some kind of signal. Again MORE info would be needed to further aid you I think.

Thank you for your reply. No changes to anything (I never touch my phone before I leave for training!) and everyone else on AT&T has service (the same service I have if I force WCMDA). I did try flashing a couple other modems, but they all had the same results.
So I am guessing your rooted. What rom are you using? Is a i9000 rom or i897 rom? Do you have cwm 2x or 3x? Make sure to download the correct type from (most likely) the modem thread. I believe the cwm3 modems can flash to a cwm2 but not vice versa. Also when you power on your phone what does it show under Menu, settings, about phone, baseband version? If it shows UNKNOWN then you are most likely not using the correct modem for your phone. Also maybe try jk4 modem it seems to be a pretty good universal modem. More info as I stated above can help.
