Hi there,
in my JVR ROM i have a problem with wifi signal, it's very low. How come? Any ideas?
Try a different kernel as the drivers for wifi are contained in the kernel

I use Galaxian. What can i use?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
depends what rom you are on, find list of kernels over at dev/stickies
Insanity cm032/platypus neo9 redux 5
The ROM is a 2.3.4 JVR with 2.3.5 updates, it's works fine, but wifi signal is very bad.
Did you ever have this problem before using this rom?

If i'm near the router wifi get all signal, if i'm less near it get so much worse.
My apologies, I got mixed up with another post on gps fix! My bad! Sometimes a wall is lined with metal mesh for plaster to stick to, this may block the signal, and also the metal foil on insulation panels can do the same, but my guess is a weak router signal

Have you tried using wifi at a friends or maybe a public place ?
Might just be your walls that are the problem.
Try sitting next to wifi box for sometime. And see if you. Are. Getting. Signal. Or not if you are getting signal then it is a problem with the wall as I face this all the time!

I'm Guess you Fixed the Reboots caused by the Framework when using EUR Based Roms? If no H / 3G / E then it just a Masked Rom on Stock Vibrant Frameworks.
What was the issue if you don't mind, I know it's in the service.jar and Barak & myslef has been looking at it when we get time... Statusbar SignalUpdate is the error, just not had much luck in finding the right part of it yet...
Sad thing is HSPA ( H ) and 3G works Perfect, but when switching to Edge is falls out & no edge service can be used..

After the 700th de-odex, there were no reboot issues.
Biggest issue now is the inability to connect to secured wifi - gonna spend the day working on that. Also if you fail to do a full wipe after the flash then it will most likely boot loop, especially if coming from JFD.
Interesting. Does this ROM contains european locales as i9000 rom? (especially interested in russian)

Very nice
I might have another look at my de-odex script then..
Odd though, I have no issue's connecting to wifi on the JPU build I have though, I just get reboots when switching to edge.
I'll re-flash mine to see if wiping after flashing fixes it, the Data switching is what has keep me from releasing mine for over a week now.
Good job,

Flashing now............................and theres the bootscreen
EDIT: I have a constant hiccups of vibration going on at boot..... this normal?
Has anybody safely apply latest Voodoo 5 lagfix on this rom ?
Thank you.

I applied jl4 stock + voodoo on it and its working out well.

Anyone wanna elaborate on some bugs? I followed the install instructions (instead of my usual flash over cwm and ignore instructions) and everything seems to be working fine. No fcs, haven't tested 3g or GPS yet since I'm indoors and don't get a good signal anyway. The only annoying thing is the TW launcher chooses the first screen as the home screen and I can't change it, but I use Launcher pro anyway.

And why not? They DO have the new and improved (or what I like to call "How they should have made it in the first place..") Vibrant on the way. We will have to wait patiently while they scramble to put 2.2 on it. (Which is already almost outdated and the phone isnt even out yet. Why not Gingerbread? God I hate Samsung in every way)

I second that. While I do get 3g at work, it's usually only around 600kbps down. After flashing this modem, I got about half that (up was the same). I will see what I get at home, which is normally around 3-5Mbps, but I'll probably go back to a JLx modem.

Hi,
As i Live in Europe i thought to try a better radio than kb5.
As am an adventurous guy i said what the ... lets see where this will take us, and flashed a galaxy s modem.
Surprise Surprise ... Modem works and i have better signal, wifi ok data ok everything seems normal to me.
So i thought i report here for other users that have the same questions like i did, YES I9000 modems are compatible with T959(Vibrant) over and out
Thread cleaned up after feedback that links where dead.
and i have Added Links to working modems 28/12/2012.

I second this. I don't see where you specified what Android version you're running...
Edit: NVM You said nighties so guess you're on CM7.
Edit edit: And linked to CM website... <Trying to hide that I've been drinking> <-Not working very well...
Kc1 didn't work on the latest CM7 nightly for me. The result was no service period. Flashing back to kb5 got me back in service. I would assume that the newer CM7.1 radios are flashed to a different location. Scrizz would know.
All cm7........？
I tried the KC1 modem and it did not work for me. I got no service at all. I'm on CM7 nightlie # 26. I was able to flash back to KB5 and my service was restored.

I did a speed test once during my free time from JL4 to KB5 (3 tests per modem all within the hour). I believe KA7 was a close second to KB5 (in terms of data) but I remembered my battery on KB5 (i used it for a week when it first came out) was not as great as KA7. I'm guessing it has something to do with scanning more often to find the strongest signal or something, hence the great data connection but worse battery :\
I hope that is enough info. A buddy flashed my captivate up to ICS but the mobile data didn't work, could not get an internet connection. Someone reccomended trying a different modem. I'm with Rogers in Ontario, but when I boot the phone is shows AT&T. What is the best modem and where do I get??
Thanks!
I've been using the JK4 modem ever since I flashed my first custom from and its never let me down! Although it all depends on your location I believe, try a few out!

KG3 has also worked pretty good to me, a little searching will help you find the modems my friend. As for the internet etc not working, check your APN settings under 'mobile networks', again search is your friend.
kp1 is stellar for me...youll only get att if your in the gta area and have roaming turned on...sometimes it bounces to att towers.

OP, sorry to hear that... I have a Rogers i896 too, and I did a flash to ICS 4.0.3 today as well without having too much glitch <knock, knock>.
After flashing done, I went into the APNs setting and noticed that Chatr Internet was being selected and it was selected when I went into the APNs setting screen.
I then selected to Rogers one, and sooner after I tested the mobile data and confirmed phone was able to surf the web.
Hey I'm rogers in southern Ontario too and after switching to any ics rooms my signal went to crap! I tried a ton of different modems and in the end the UKG3 modem was the best by far and it appears that most Canadian users swear by it as well. I get great signal even in spots where I was poor before. Data is great. Speaker and sound is great so I use that and reflash it on any from upgrades or changes.
If u go to the captivate forum and android development and then to the stickies there...its one of the first pages that has a huge list. Can't miss it.

Not always H though. It switches to 3G whenever there is a need to. I also started experienced another problem (posted in ICSSGS Q&A thread, waiting for clarification and help).
When I am on wifi at home, after a period of idle, both wifi and phone signal bars greyed out. Yes, both greyed out. From what I've read on this forum, greyed out bars on wifi and phone signal doesn't mean you're disconnected. While both icons were greyed out, I tried the following:-
make phone call: passed
receive phone call: passed
surfing on the web: failed
attempt to send a Whatsapp mesg: failed
In this case, I would have to turn off then turn on its wifi to get connected again.
That's enough frustration tho :S :S :S

Fair enough... my phone (Rogers i896) has been flashed to ICSSGS 4.0.3 with KG3 modem. Does it mean it's on i9000 based rom with i9000 modem? Baseband version is I9000UGKG3.
Any comment would be helpful as I am still learning you all big bros.
yup all our ICS roms are based on an i9000 CM9 kernel, and usually packaged with an i9000 modem.
even dark night, which is ported from galaxy nexus runs on our phone with the i9000 CM9 kernels..
CM9 is ICS based cyanogenmod rom... thats a whole other discussion..
Little OT (excuse me) about modem... to get the best fit modem to your phone matching the area could improve data or voice or both capability?

Does anyone have ICS with Data working with Rogers Captivate
Hi,
I ported ICS (ROM WeUI) on my Captivate. Everything works great except that I can barely connect to Rogers Network in Toronto. No data, no calls, no mms.
