I am currently running a JVK Based phone with KC1 Modem. My problem is I am unable to connect to the 850 band. Is anyone else seeing this problem, or is there a fix for it?
You need to install another modem tryugkc1 search for modems in xda

type *#2263# then select Combi Bands, Then select wcdma 850.
Should be good after that.

is your phone the north american i9000m or the international? international phones have no 850 support. any bell modem (jl2, kc1, etc) will automatically enable 850.
go into the band selection, then wcdma, then pick 850 only. if the phone switches to the 850 band then your good, just go back in and pick automatic

My phone used to be the i9000m but I changed it to the i9000. It doesn't connect to the 850 network, when I select the 850 only.
I used the jl2 modem with jvk and now jvb. Works great. You will not be able to get 850 with a european modem.

The problem is I am running the UGKC1 modem which is our new one in Canada.
UGJK4 should work for you.
If you can't find it search for "Perka's File Stash". I can't post url's yet.

It's still an i9000m, hardware wise, so you should try reflashing the modem. There is no reason kc1 shouldn't work on your device
Wait wait wait. Isn't the international version missing the hardware support for 850? If it's missing the hardware it's not going to matter what modem you use! That's your problem.
And it is not true at all that you cannot get 850 on a european modem. I have an i9000m, and have used several european modems (jvk, jvb, etc) with 850. A few steps are required to enable it, that's all. Search and you'll find them.

I bought it in Canada new so it is an i9000m ultimately.

So did you try flashing the modem or complete rom again?
You could try flashing back to UGJL2 froyo again, then reflash Gingerbread. Kinda strange you can't enable wcdma850 in the combi menu. Did you confirm in the about phone settings that kc1 is the baseband?

I am going to try to flash to kc1 entirely. I can enable the 850 band, I just can't connect to the 850 band network.
I guess this is a provider problem. I finally broke down and phoned our incompetant technical support and they said they have had some problems with the KC1 update on the 850 band, now I have to use an inferior JL2 to work on our 850 band.
Hi guys
I'm running a Telstra (australia telco) tab on Overcome 1.4.5 custom ROM.
This carrier has an 850Mhz 3G network just like AT&T or Rogers over in N America.
I am unable to connect 850Mhz in HSDPA, only in GSM.
I have tried both JMF modem and stock Telstra modem (i.e. stock from carrier), same issue. If I force the 'WCDMA' setting I cannot see the 850 network at all.
Anyone else running Overcome and using 850Mhz 3G? Help appreciated
i have the same tab, and im on overcome 1.4.5 still, grab the modem.bin from rotohammers thread, by memory its the i9000 modem, ive been using that and its been working perfectly.
cool, and you're on NextG?
BTW I've tried locking it to 850Mhz via @#2263#, and it is still choosing the 2100 network (3Telstra) lol. A guy on whirlpool forum is telling me its a random bug, heard anything about that?
You can get a CWM flashable bell modem at the first post of the overcome thread.
yeah I'm trying that tonight (the JMK modem) cheers @ work now don't have the cable with me...
FWIW the jk3 (typoed jmk above) modem did the trick.
It wasn't included in the overcome 1.4.5 thread but IS on the 1.6 threads, go figure
not sure why the stock carrier modem didn't work? but not fussed
Hi All,
I've just switched to Telstra from Optus due to coverage issues.
I have a custom ROM (Froyo XWJS8) on my Galaxy I9000 (Not I9000T)
Firmware: 2.2.1
BaseBand: XXJQ1
Build: FROYO.XWJS8
My internet coverage is now even worse than Optus with only EDGE available. I've been told Telstra needs the 850Mhz for 3G etc to work. which the I9000 doesn't have.
Can anyone recommend a good ROM to upgrade / downgrade to so I can get the 850 MHZ / 3G coverage I need?
Does anyone know of any ROM that provides this as the European ROMS don't have it. I'm thinking DARK'Ys Rom but unsure if it will fix my problem with coverage.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Are you serious? You have the I9000, that does NOT have the 850mhz. Get the I9000T if you want NextG Coverage I am using JP9 Modem and get awesome speeds + CM7 <3
Dont really know why you posted this thread.. as a simple search would have shown you that you dont have the right phone haha
*edit*
Its HARDWARE limitation not software
Hello,
I'm from spain, but I come to Vancouver, and I have a sim card from FIDO, I put the gingerbread 2.3.4 and the modem UGKG3 to works here.
But this modem is not so fast, and i think this don't have a good wifi signal.
Is available another better modem for my phone to use in vancouver?
Sorry for my English, Thank you!

I use JPG with mine on Rogers.
You can get it here. Flash in recovery mode.
I found KG3 to work the best for me in terms of reception. The other Canadian modems with 850/1900 bands are KC1 and JL2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9874879&postcount=1
Wifi signal is pretty weak for me but i think that might also depending on the kernel of the ROM (I'm currently on deodexed JVX, semaphore 2.0.0, KG3 modem, Bell network). You can always try some of the other gingerbread modems to see if wifi works better, but the 850 band may not work for you.
Thank you, I will try to change.
Sorry, but the kernel has something to do? I have 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVQ....
Thank you!

I try the modems cwm3_bvjjpg and cwm3_zsjpg and 3g dosen't work, i try to chens the 1900 band to 850 but in zsjpg i can't because in the menu says "this menu don't esxist" and the WCDMA 850(FDD V) is number 6 in the menu.
With the bvjjpg I put the [5] WCDMA 850 (FDD V) but when I put *#0011# WDCDMA still have 1900 band 2....
With the modem UGKG3 i don't change enithing in the menu and the 3g works, but I think the 3g is slow and the wifi is not good....
Thank you!
My phone is the i9000m Bell and I am on TeamHacksung v.14 and wondering what is the best modem to use?
Right now I am using UGKG3. It works but its not very strong for signal.
I used UCKG3 and it's fine on 850Mhz which is what Bell uses. To check you're on 850 dial *#*#0011#*#*
I can't post links but google 850 i9000 for instructions on how to add the 850 band if your phone isn't connected as 850 CDMA
when I do that dial this is what I get
UMTS: HOME(CS+PS)
RRC State: IDLE
WCDMA 850 band 5
FREQ DL: 1087
FREQ UL: 862
CELL_ID:*****
PSC:7a
RSCP:-101,ECIO:-10
Well you are on 850Mhz but your signal does seem low, maybe a low signal area?
If you poke around in this thread you can try other 850Mhz modems, some might work better in your location. Finding the best modem for your carrier/location seems to be a lot of trial and error
thanks rax22... I will check around.
I tried this test and it says:
WCDMA 1900 Band 2
I am in Southwestern Ontario Canada.

Same with me. I'm currently in an office with poor reception, but my settings read
UMTS: HOME (CS+PS)
RRC State: IDLE
WCDMA 1900 BAND 2
Reg PLMN 302-610, IsPCS? 1
FREQ DL: 587
FREQ UL: 187
CELL_ID:0x_______
LAC: 0x2936
PSC: 142
RSCP: -110. ECIO:-14
I was unaware that flashing a different modem may improve my reception/service, I thought it was a sort of works-or-not thing. If anyone would care to help as well that would be great
(sorry to OP, don't mean to steal thread, only gain help from it as well)
Are these two showing the signal strength?
RSCP: -110. ECIO:-14
If so what do they mean and should they be higher or lower for better signal. I have been trying lots of different modems and trying to figure out what works better for me.
thanks.
You can't use anything other than 850/1900 on Bell. 850 is for downstream, and 1900 is for upstream. KG3 is the only radio that is known to work with Bell.
I tried the JVT modem today and it worked. Ran a speed test with wifi off and got some decent results. I did go back to KG3 though.
Can I ask exactly which KG3 modem file you are using? There seems to be a few different ones floating around with different names and file sizes.

Bell Modem
I9000 on Bell here best running modem i found is KB3 fastest buy far on ICS 4.0.4 DK 3 Devil kernel 1.1.6b CFS

Where did you find that because it's not in that link that was listed here. Also, what region do you live in because that could have something to do with it as well.

nope
850 and 1900 are two different bands. Both can work both ways.
I'm using the UGKG3 , Since this is the baseband they gave me with my Bell Samsung S Vibrant, I managed to find an ICS rom using UGKG3 here on Xda. Might want to try it out.

No, it does not work for Bell phones. I already tried it and it messes up Hacksung rom badly.
Best modems for Canada
JL2
KC1
KG3
JVU
JK3 Maybe??
Not in that order
You can download the app perka's file stash it has multiple 850 band modems for ICS and GB
