Hello all,
I recently rooted my Bell Galaxy s and flashed speedmod-k13e-500hz so now my phone is pretty fast and smooth but would like to improve my constant low signal issue and choppy phone calls ( also my batt life has decreased since rooting and applying speedmod with lagfix enabled and have cleared batt stats in cwm) Im on stock UGKC1 and am wondering if i can fix my issues. I would also like to flash 2.3.3 but wonder which rom/modem combo would be best for me and also a litlle how to since i believe i need gingerbread bootloader but am a little confused.
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to help or point me in the right direction.

I find KC1 modem works really well... If you are having issues with that modem try JK4 or JL2 or the telus modem (TLJ or something) first 2 are both older versions of Bell Modems... as for 2.3.3, I have used simply honey, Juwe, GingerReal and current flashing Darky.
So far in order I like:
Juwe - JVH
Simply Honey - JVH
GingerReal - JVO
Darky - JVH (unkown, but loved the froyo version)
I always flash KC1 modem with gingerbread
I think the JVo modem is the best so far, but you can test which is the best for your region and phone.
Exactly, the JVO modem in the Toronto area is garbage, but probably really good in other places. Your 'default' modem is probably always a safe bet
Thanks for the replies. I will compare JVO to KC1 and see which one performs better. I just bought an Incredible S and seems to be getting better reception than the SGS in general.

Hi I was wondering if any bell or more appropriately Sasktel users are using any gingerbread roms and how the csc and modem is working out.

I'm on Bell, used to run CyanogenMod7, now I'm testing out the latest MIUI gingerbread builds. The modem seems to work fine enough (either JL2 or KC1). I haven't had any issues. Battery efficiency could be better, but I'm not convinced that's the modem's fault.
So other than battery probs are you happy. Also all you did is flash the rom and then a new modem

Yeah, I'm on Rogers with CM7 and KC1 Modem, running smooth with great speeds on my 3g+ I just noticed your other post and yes I flashed the ROM and then the Canadian modem
Hi i have a question about allowing the hspa network on stock froyo rom....
How would i go about doing this?
Flash a new modem? Possible one from an hspa capible device like the i9000?

Would i also have to use an i9000 kernel or could i use my current existz voodoo kernel?

Kernels have to match modems. kb1 to kb1, i9000 to i9000.
So is running a i9000 kernal better than using a captivate kernal?
if so what are the pros and cons if any?
rom kernal match
Look. I've tried different kernals with stock froyo 2.2 and learned the hard way with sticking with stock modem. Call quality was crap and battery life severly dimished with having a improper mix of modems and kernals. Since those mistakes I run continuum 4 with onix kernal 2.05 and jvk modem and have great batt life and call quality and download speeds are phenomenal. The best way I have found without going flash crazy is to see what the experienced people are using on their phones. The have it listed in their stats at the bottom of each posting they make. These people have been modding for awhile and know by experience what works best. Try that and you should have no problems getting the best combo for your captivate. Hope this answers your question. Good luck!
hsupa is over rated the phone already has hsdpa. hsupa may be good if you want to video chat or teather. but if you must get hspa in full you want to flash a different rom. no one has figured out a workaround for the brokn bluetooth calling with a rom/modem mismatch on a north american captivate rom.
as for the kernel, well i haven't tried an i9000 or i9010 or i9088 kernel on kb1 but they all should work. also i haven't tried changing the modem without changing the kernel but i believe that should also work. even if it is not recomended. i have never adhered to the notion that modems and kernels should match and had good luck with modems for t959d i9000m and i9088 on i9000 i9010 and i9088 kernels without major problems. it does seem that the older modems do not work all that great on the captivate with call volume or quality problems regardless of rom and kernel. but the kp1 from i9088 and kc1 from i9000 are both great on the captivate, i think i give kc1 the edge. if it weren't for those two and maybe others that i didn't try i would recomend leaving it all kb1 for the simple fact that a phone should make good phone calls.
the adage that the modem and kernel must match is true. ie. i9000 kernel/i9000 modem i897 kernel/i897 modem....it is absolutely true you must match those. if you use an i897 modem with an i9000 kernel or vice versa, you will have data but no voice. its not just a myth
Title says it all. Which one is better? JVK or JVB?

Both have Bugs, Dont use till Samsung release a stable GingerBread
There's only one way to find out.....
FIGHT!!!
(Harry Hill)
Almost the same: same bugs, same lack of expected features, same included features. The only difference? language and network support
4 weeks on jvk. A record has been set for me. Ha. No flashing for a month now. Very happy with jvk.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Have not seen a big difference eather. Had both on the phone, pure from samfirmware, with Fugu-Kernel, with DOC Rom from beta kitchen v1, v2 actual v2.1 ......
Just try them
i flashed jvb last night then rooted.
i have just one issue for now it is related with gps icon when i closed the gps the status bar icon still there. couple minutes later i activate then deactivate it was gone. everything seems same with jvk to me like battery drain, fast, etc.
I was running JVK for a month without any issues at all, all worked fine.
But as something new came out I flash to JVB using the 'Hamsterbread' ROM, only been on it less that 24hrs but so far no problems at all.
I think as mentioned before they are pretty much the same so personally I would say it doesnt really matter. If your on JVK there isn't much point flashing to JVB.
I tried jvk, jva and jvb and is all the same except swype on jvk
had jvk then "upgraded" to jvb, running perfectly so far )
I use JVK. Not out of choice but it's what my phone had installed when it was returned to me from repair (went in with Darky's 9.5). So if Samsung themselves are putting JVK on then that's where I'd rather be
The copy/paste seemed easier to use for me on jvb than on jvk.

After trying jvb, I wouldnt downgrade to jvk.
JVK since 26th march. rooted, modded and running like a Ferrari. Downloaded JVB and all mod files but not bothered flashing as JVK is so good.
This is the longest I've gone without a custom ROM...no need.
From what I read, JVB and JVA are just minor regional variants...they are all 2.3.3 after all.
These roms are just to similar to contain any significant performance or reliability differences in my view.
conclusion: If you've flashed JVK, JVB or JVA and are happy don't flash. If you have any issues try one of the others.
For me its JVK and well happy

Its not a downgrade
JVB is a Nordic variant, JVK is the UK variant, JVA is European, Luxemburg I think, hence the insignificant differences between them
Changed from JVK to JVB, seen no difference.
Hi all,
Just wanted some feedback from anyone with the Bell Mobility I9000M that has flashed JVH. How are you liking the update?
As well:
Is 850Mhz supported? If not can we flash another modem over to enable 850? How has the reception been compared to JL2?
How is the battery life compared to 2.2 Roms? I am currently on a Doc 2.2 JS8 Rom and get about 2 days with moderate use.
Thanks!
JVB was really good, needed to preform the 850 fix or flash a new modem (I always flash ugkc1) bettery was pretty good
JVH I just flashed and modem needs same as JVB fix or flash of an 850 default... can't say for battery yet, most are saying it takes some calibration on JVH... GPS fix is best I have ever had.
I was Doc 9.5 moved to Doc 10 rc6, moved to simply honey now on juwe... liked doc 10 the least.
works fine here. JVH with KC1 modem
I have a Bell (Unlocked running on Telus) I9000M SGS and I have tried many different ROMs to try to get the GPS to work, but there is always something about the ROM that makes me change.
I have tried ICS as well, but that didn't work at all. I have tried ROMs from Europe (JVR and JVS) and while the GPS did work, the phone didn't have the reception it should have had. I am now back on stock GB 2.3.3 - UGKG3.
Has anyone ever solved the GPS problem with the Bell ROMs? Has anyone used any other ROM that worked as well as the stock ROM, but with working GPS? For those with an I9000M, what is the best ROM/kernel you have used.
Another thing, I have had the M/B replaced due to the dreaded internal memory problem and with the non-existent GPS and the lack of Android updates to Canada, will you get another Samsung phone? I would love the Note, but can I trust Samsung?
Thanks for the info,
Ian
I have a i9000m through lleb and I have been using this modem i9000 ugjl2 and my gps is perfect.
And if your using google map I also find if you change yout scripts from N-America to europe you'll also get a faster gps find.

Best combination in my opinion
Etc/gps.conf then edit n.america.or whatever it says there and replace with europe.pool
