[Q] Darky's rom v 7.7 reception issue

hey guys , i have flashed several rom and i really like the look and feel of the darky's rom however i have really bad reception issue. sometimes at home where i usually have full bar i have no signals at all , or last night i was traveling to Oklahoma city with my friend who is running captivate on stock rom and he had full bar while i had no service at all ! any idea what i'm doing wrong ?

Usually better to ask in the darky thread , but anyways.
Did you flash back to stock and then upgrade to darkys or did you upgrade on top of a previous rom? If the latter, flash back to stock and reinstall.
If the former, try a different modem. I am not using the modem or kernel that came with darkys rom. I am using the kernel with speedmod and ugjl2 modem and so far I have great reception. Of course that isn't saying much as I always have great reception using my cell device (can't think of its name atm.)

You are running the I9000 version and not the captivate port. This alone wont cause problems if you have the reoriented kernel but the jpy modem you have will. I believe it does not have the 850 band. Flash a different modem from the modem thread in the development section and you should be good to go.
If im mistaken please forgive as its 7:30am and I still haven't slept yet.

thanks for your reply ! well yea i did one click odin to stock 2.1 and then flash this using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868262
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808286 flashing xcaliburinhand's latest reoriented kernel (odin version) with voodoo (I9000_reoriented_v2.3.0) so i'm not sure what is the issue here ... can you all guide me what modem should i use ? i was actually thinking about the same thing because i use to have a phone that didn't have 850 bad and i had this kind of issue ! so any help of how and where to get a modem to flash will be greatly appreciated !

I personally use JK4. A lot of people find that JL3 works better for them. Either way at the moment these are the top two modems available. Both can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9134296&postcount=2 and are flashable via CWM.
Also next time you are going to flash a version of Darky's just use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890429 or any one that ytt3r starts because he ports them over to the captivate and you don't have to worry about messing with kernels or anything not working properly.

thanks i'll try it next week , since i'm running Axura 2.2 and so far i like it

[Q] Galaxy s i9000 Australian Baseband

hello, I was on darkys rom v9.5, was having serious problems with battery drain, and occasionally device would swich off by itself.
So i decided to try stock 2.2.1, its fast, battery is a lot better, BUT i have no data connection. I still can make calls Gps and wifi but no data connection. I used a european firmware and flashed the eurpean modem on there by mistake. I'm downloading an australian version of 2.2 and gonna try just the modem baseband from that, while remaining on 2.2.1. hope it works!
My question is does anyone know the best baseband firmware (quickest, most efficient on battery) to use in australia? .... maybe post a link
my network is virginmobile if that helps.

get on to Darky 10.1 extreme edition. Its a 2.3.3 rom will be 10 times better than 2.2, i use ZSJPG modem and is good in melbourne.

GT-I9000M Signal improvement

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.

This actually seems logically possible.
If we can use a reoriented i9000 kernel + i9000 modem on a captivate rom, why can't we use a matching captivate modem+ kernel on an i9000 rom?
I thought the important thing is to match the modem and kernel...

You're right. As long as they match it's fine.

Well experimentation if the spice of life.

Well, accidentally I ended with this configuration:
ROM: Apex 9.2 (JVR)
KERNEL: Talon 4.4.22 (JVR)
MODEM: KH3
Teoretically this shouldnt be happening but everything seems to be working O.K. No Force Closes, WCDMA 850, average battery life, WiFi, etc.

you have always been able to run mix/match, until you need to make an actual phone call. no voice.

Yes I ran that combo until I got a phone call and the other person could not hear me and the volume was cutting in and out flashed back to JL2 all is good again
Running Dlevs 5.0, and latest talon kernel, modem JL2

As you can see from my signature I am still running 2.2 ROMs. I just prefer the stability, and have zero issues with both that I am using now on different captivates. One of them, Continuum 4.1 is and i9000 rom, using Onyx kernel with jk4, the other is the i897 Cognition, cog kernel, kb1.
I think, based on what I am reading here, I will try to intall the i897 modem and kernel on the Continuum 4.1 ROM. I really like this ROM but REALLY prefer the sound quality of the i897 roms because of the Audience chip.
I will experiment this weekend and report back. As of now, I prefer not to do this kind of experimentation with the GB roms. Anyone else interested in seeing how this turns out?

Hi Jack man,
if you are still considering flashing i897 kernel & modem , my captivate is still Froyo 2.2 stock (rooted), with the uckb2 modem and kernel 2.6.32.9. I already have a dump of the kernel (I checked is working) and could send you a dump of the uckb2 modem (unchecked, I'm unsure about flashing this one back, since I have the 100% battery shutdown issue and still considering a RMA) if you are willing to try.
Let me know,
Angel

Well, I experimented. Here's what I used and how it went.
I installed Continuum 4.1 (a froyo 2.2 rom) then flashed the Exist kb1 kernel along with the kb1 modem. I thought everything was going to be fine. Calls worked fine, data seemed ok but slower than I was expecting, but when I went to turn on wifi if just didn't work. I made sure it was't the router - my wife's phone was working fine on the router, along with a laptop on it.
it would also not connect to the neighbor's router either. Flashed back to Cog4.5.3 - wifi worked fine.
Too bad, because I really like the small features of Continuum 4.1
If anyone has any ideas to fix the wifi in this setup let me know. I would love to keep it.

I9000M Questions

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.
