[Q] I have poor data reception when bars not full. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Like the title says, I am having problems with my data connection. Unless my phone shows full signal bars I have almost no connection to the internet (android web browser times out.) When I have full signal bars I get a nice and fast response.
I should also mention that, when the signal bars show less then half, people complain that my voice sounds "garbled" or "digitized".
I would not be surprised if the following had something to do with it; I am running the Bell i9000m on the Rogers network.
Should I be using a different modem? I recall reading somewhere that the JL2 modem also solved some sort of data corruption issue.
Firmware: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000UGJL2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #32
Build number: Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition

Change your rom is my suggestion .
But first i would check the Bell posts on here see if its a fixed problem .

[Q] Data drop on 3G/H with perfect connection

Bleh, I'm getting desperate here, looks like I'm the only one experiencing this.
This seems to applies to any modem I've tried so far on 2.2.1 roms. I get excellent reception (3-4 bars H or 3G) and yet data doesn't flow through in some areas while still maintaining that excellent connection. Usually fails more when I am indoor although again, the reception is in theory great.
Seems to be happening more often when I'm using 850 band but that's not really an indicator. I tried JL2, KC1, JQ1 and JPG (all worked on 850 no problem) but I still experienced the same data issue. Flashed various Doc rom (now on his latest 2.2.1 with SpeedMod K13e kernel).
Could it be my SIM card that's damaged ? I've been experiencing this for a long time but I remember the phone being ok when I first got Froyo on it and definitely ok with 2.1
Any ideas ?
Just stumbled on Roger's Captivate "latest" modem CWM flashable, UXJL1. Would it be a good idea to try and flash this one ?

No 3G data on Rogers, with overcome ROM

I actually didn't notice at first(since 3g is patchy where I live) but since switching to the overcome rom my tab will connect to 3g but as soon as data transferring begins/resumes it will switch back to "H" which is thier high speed "Edge" network.
Baseband version: I9000UGJK3
Could this be the at&t modem that overcome provides?
Are there any other modems I could test out that might be better?
Thanks for your help.
found what i was looking for here
My toolbar still shows "H" during data transfers ("3G" otherwise) but the speeds seem fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is with that.
H is HSDPA which is faster 3G. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSDPA
Ok that makes more sense, thanks.
Speeds seem to be the same with the jm2 modem, anybody else done testing on the rogers network?

[Q] Nexus One losing 2g/3g signal

I have a problem with mobile signal on my nexus one. Sometimes it shows no signal but it gets some (one or two bars out of four) if I try to make a call. I can actually make a call in third attempt. Sometimes it show four bars and my number is unavailable.
If I try to change settings to 'use 2G only', it loses signal completely (with 'x' above signal bars) and I have to reboot or turn on airplane mode to get signal back.
Model: Nexus One not rooted
android version: 2.3.4
baseband v: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernel v: 2.6.35.7-59463-g52630a3 android-build(at)apa28 #1
Build No: GRJ22
Any ideas what may cause the problem???
Lost 2G and 3G
I have the same problem, anyone knows how fix this signal lost???
Nexus One:
Android: 2.3.4
3G BAND: 850
Same Problem
I changed my chip from GSM to 3G and having some problems with data connection. I know I have Internet when the bars and 3G icons turns green, but I don't have when they become gray... And I don't know why this happens... I installed the app Network Signal Info and when I saw the results I realized that it's a section saying... "Phone Type = GSM". Is this the problem? and how can I change it? Thanks in advice

i9000 cannot make or receive calls. modem problem?

Hi everyone, noob here so dun wanna start a new thread with my question since it is related to this matter and I was wondering if anyone can help me because I really can't figure it out anymore.
I have an International GT-i9000 purchased with Hong Kong and system specs I have running are
Gingerbread.ZSJW4 (recently flashed the official ROM from Hong Kong cuz I am anal and want to keep the same languages)
Kernal: 2.6.35.7-I9000ZSJW4-CL1147074
[email protected] #2
Bandbase version: i9000ugkg3
And I use AT&T in New York (I know, worse plan to use in dead zone capital of the US)
I had flashed the ugkg3 modem on it because the JW1 modem that was with the official ROM wasn't working out for me and I had heard this modem was the best for my area. Before it would either not pick up a signal when coming up from underground or the signal just go dead, which did not happen when my phone was on Froyo (on Froyo I did not have 850mhz enabled and it worked alright outside and sometimes in the house)
At first, the KG3 modem worked wonderfully, I was able to receive data in my house and was on 3 bars (compared to none to one before). However, I now notice that while I do have full bars, I cannot receive or send messages or phone calls (even though my brother's Note is able to do all that and it was next to my phone).
I also happens when I am outside as well.
The other day I was standing in front of the AT&T store near where I am and I still don't pick up a signal.
Or it would lose the signal and never pick it up again.
Unless if I really can't use 850mhz on my phone, which does not make sense because AT&T uses 850mhz.
I am real hesistant to try another modem, and I cannot figure out if it is a hardware issue or network issue, or is it just the wrong modem?
Can someone please share any insight?

[Q] Mobile data issues, wrong baseband?

Hi Guys.
I'm having mobile data issues with my N7000 on CM11. I'm not totally sure when it started, but I changed network providers and also re-flashed the phone from OMNI to CM and used a modified PIT file all over 2 days.
My problem is that I have mobile data when connected on 3G and H+, but when ever connected on just plain old H I have no data throughput at all. The phone thinks it does, but I can assure you I don't. Annoyingly most of the cells around where I live are H and not H+ so it leaves me pretty screwed.
I currently have 2014/08/31 nightly CM 11 4.4.4
Baseband N7000XLT3
Is this the right baseband for a N7000 in the UK on the network Three?
cheers guys.
Bump
Baseband number looks fine to me, I think that's general Europe.
I too have had that problem but only when I have the "3g" icon. I haven't ever been able to solve it.
