Like many many other threads here, ans is very generic:
JK4 is one of the most common modems. BUT, what's good for me may not be good for u. So no point in asking these type of questions. Some say they saw battery gain in JK3 compared to JK4. But for me it was opposite.
Read the modem thread, based on opinions there, pick a few. Test each one out for a day. End of the week, u'd know which one best suits ur hardware.

I am finding the best battery life with jl2 and the best signal with jk4. but there is not much difference that iv noticed.
You see JK4 mentioned quite a bit but it can vary with kernel. GPS can vary as well.

good to know, i am using that rom too. you can try speedmod kernel also, for the modem, it needs to be i9000 compatible.
I have success with both firebird kernal and speedmod kernel with the kp1 modem and the jk4 modem. You could tries these modems and see if they work for you. Not every modem will work the same for every phone in any location. You will just have to keep trying them out until you find one that works for you
well about every modem ive tried. aka or rom. works. just the poor call quality or slow network speeds. i tried speedmod last night. no go on ji6. whats wierd is on cognition or the leaked 2.2 froyo they work perfect on ji6. no matter the kernel. which i tried speed mod. glitterballs .4. so ill go out and find an i9000 kernel.
I am running dill's 6.0 with kp1 modem, 2 days now heavy phone use talking, texting, browsing and downloading. Absolutely no connection issues with kp1 at all so far. No voice quality issues either.

hi everyone. I have a captivate. live in america. Well i have had slow network speeds with jk4 jk3. jl1 jl2 plus poor call quality on the other end. ect. but the stock jh7. and the froyo leaked ji6 modems kick ass where im at. it even relialably plays youtube while on on the edge network.
Ive come down to di11is roms are the fastest. smoothest and the BEST gps. no bugs. has any one tried that modem on those roms? ie 6.0 . well i use that modem on some other roms and i know you need a matching kernel. so i flashed kernel then modem. still boot loops. anyone found a combo that works? is there a voodoo sound/lagfix kernel that works with this rom/modem. on cognition 3.04 i used .v4 gb kernel/ji6. and worked great. just have much love for di11is roms

If you read around, the pattern for modems is location based. It seems some modems work better in areas that other modems bomb out. I am going to take a chance and say you are in Kentucky if I read your user name correctly. It is helpful to others when talking about the modem that works best for you to be a little more specific then "I live in America". America can mean many different countries. (unfortunately in todays world climate it really only means one place)
Sorry just a pet peeve of mine.
For me in central florida jl2 has been the best. I will test ji6 to see how it goes for me. Hopefully it will become a preferred modem.
Again I am not trying to be a troll, sorry if it sounds like it.

I don't understand that at all..... the only real difference is if the area covered is 850/1900 or 1900 only..... otherwise how can there be a difference?

I do not disagree with what you say. But reading around there are very similar findings in specific areas. I will look for the threads in the morning. Nyquil kicking in.
im auctually from indiana. sorry for putting up america. At first this modem stuff didnt make sense. How 5 different modems will have 5 bars but each one has different results. would be nice if it was like a pc. windows or linux or mac. where if the drivers installed they just work. Its just such a deal breaker when i get to work and the net is just slow even with 5 bars. (jl1 jl2. jk3 jk4) but with ji6 it works great. and speed test are wayy higher. am now checking out deviant roms. found i9000 with voodoo and ji6. hmm might be able to get di11is working with ji6 here in a minute!
well tried firebird 2.0. tried few other kernals no luck. i flashed kernal first. then modem. no luck. firebird says works will all modems. ive tried. both 959 vibrant ji6 and ucji6 cappy modem. same result. sends it to boot loop. its something easy. is it because its a i9000 based rom? cog 3.04 it works with all those kernals ive tried on dillis
Hello, as you may realize this is my first post on the forums, and I have a couple questions.
I'm currently running Cognition with the Firebird 2 kernel on it, and I've been learning things about modems recently.
To clarify things however:
What is a modem? I'm under the impression it is the "driver" that allows the phone to contact the world, but please tell me if I'm wrong or elaborate.
And,
What, by people's experience or knowledge, is the best modem for me to use with my Firebird 2 kernel? Currently my phone is running JL1.

As far as I know, modems have an impact on data speed, phone quality, GPS and phone signal. Everyone has different opinions on which modem works the best for them, but generally I see that a lot of people like JK4 or JL3.
last week there was a thread here on xda captivate that will answer most of your questions on modem / kernel... I don´t remember where exactly but it´s nothing that a little search won't find!

I had an issue with JK4 that all my system sounds were really quiet, almost inaudible (even at the loudest setting). I've had great success with JL3 though.
Hi all,
I was just wondering, does anyone know what is the best and compatible modem that can be used with JVR for Malaysia? It seems that i'm having issues with GPS with this FW, and i wanted to test different modems.
Any response would be much appreciated!
bump
i would also like to know...
All modems are compatible with all roms, that´s not a problem. About coverage and battery saving, well, I think the best you can do is try one for a few days, then another and compare.
Hi,
what Modem would you suggest to use with GB JVT?
My wifi signal is always rather weak (no or poor signal, when other devices still have a good connection) and I also have GPS issues sometimes. I was on JVQ till today but JVT modem does not seem so be any better.
I can still remember that both, wifi and GPS worked much better when I was on Froyo...
Any Ideas?
Semaphore kernel, fastest ive used, and most reliable and has support for init.d. if i helped please click on the thanks button
Im inthe UK and found exactly the same as you. Having tried a few modems im settled on ZSJPG. give it a try m8 see what you think. Not sure on battery drain seemed no more than the others but it keeps signal where JVT and JVQ was struggling.

Did he ask about kernel?
I have been using ZSJPG too. Best for me. You should really try it out
Likewise, ZSJPG is the best for me too. I found battery life is loads better with it as well, I believe it's a Japanese modem that's been optimised for use in built up areas though so it may depend on the area you're in. I'm in London, and it works amazingly for me...

He spoke about Wifi. This is controlled by the kernel.
GPS on the other hand is controlled (AFAIK) by the modem.
When I was in Deutschland I ran with KG3 and it was good for both battery life and speed.
I have tried ZSJPG and that's excellent for battery life and for call quality. I found it did dodgy things to my GPS and the download speeds.
So from what cointry sre yoy? Im from germany and like tje jvs modem

EDIT: Ignore what I just said, you were on Tapatalk. From Australia matey.
On XXJVT now and the JVT modem gives me no issues but I'm on Teamhacksungs ICS Build 6. Seems to have pretty much bugger all standby battery drain unless you sync google photos to your Gallery or involve the stock email app.
it all depends on the locations you're from ZSJPG is for mainly asian countries but it works a charm on other countries i recommend you go to a german galaxy s forum and asking there such as GOAtools.de to ask
Hey guys,
I will be visiting USA soon and was wondering if someone could suggest me a new modem for this region. I will be using a T-mobile connection for my I9000. My criterias are: 1) decent battery life 2) good to best voice quality 3) decent data connection.
Thank-you in advance!
There is no best modem as such for now... you have to try from the most popular modems and see which one works best for you.
If you want to see the popular modems you can head to the thread in my signature...
doubts, ask any question over my thread I will respond you...
Thank you. I will check out the popular modems in your thread.

When I was in Vegas on ICS is was getting a solid 4 bars all the time with the JVT modem. I can't comment on call quality though.
