lots of dropped calls / weak signal on stock 2.2

So my gf just got a new captivate, and its running 2.2 and she says dropping a ton of calls, and that she has weak signal alot and so on....
my question is should I swap the modem ( shes on stock) from the KB1 or what ever to like the JH3 ?
OR should I return it and get a new one?
What are the chances the phone is hardware defective vs modem troubles?

They tried to fix problems with 2.2 and they just created more. Try switching the modem. I havent been messing with stuff lately, Ive been pulling my hair out with at&t's return center. Try KP1. But make sure the phone is rooted before you do this.

Thanks. I think i had good luck with JK4/JK3
people say modems work better in some areas then others, is there a "modem map" or something that says this works better here and that better there, ect?

No haha i guess people are too lazy to coordinate a country wide effort for modems lol.

Modems

Could I request that someone make a sticky in the dev section with a collection of all the modems available for the tab. We have one in the captivate section and it's extremely useful.

I am looking into doing that. A collection of flashable zip modems in CWM recovery thanks to Alterbridge. In the process of collecting modems.

Awesome. I have a question. My tab refuses to get 3g or hsdpa. It does just fine it ottawa where I am from but doesn't in other places. I soul just chalk it up to the network but both of my captivates get 3g and hsdpa in the same area. In the process of trying as many modems as I can now.
Any explanations would be appreciated.
Running the l latest overcome.

I asked this same sorta same question yesterday, good to hear someone is making a list.

Do u by any chance know which modem came with your rogers tab. Am assuming its rogers galaxy tab canada right?

Nope. Sorry. Euro tab.

I'm looking for US Cellular modem for the tab. Anyone? Any help is greatly appreciated!

@Beny check the apn settings. If they are empty. Get them and put them in. Your carrier should have it.
Will soon post the thread just need to get permissions and collect more modems.

Didn't think to check that but after checking, all devices are on the same apn and still no change. Tab only picks up edge.
Would love to get my hands on whatever modem the rogers tab comes with.

Benny,
That is a good idea, Rogers might bring a different result.
Who can extract the modem.bin for us to try?

Missing sms

Recently my phone isn't able to receive some of the sms text, not all but some, I wiped data/cache and reinstall cm7 but the problem continues? Does anyone know what's wrong?

Do you have auto-retrieve enabled? Sounds dumb, but sometimes the most simple things go right above our heads.
Also, it would be of great help if you provided more information. What sms app you are using, carrier, modem, etc.

Just made sure that auto retrieve is on. I am on at&t And the radio band is T959tljl3. I'm using cm7 stable mod. It never happened before and it only started recently. And I'm not using any sms app Thanks for the help btw

Do you get a lot of text messages? One of our users on the Legend thread had the same issue. We suggested lowering the amount of messages from 100 to 50 before they are deleted. The user reported back that the issue was resolved after doing so. Not sure if cm works the same but worth a shot..

Yes I do, I will give it a shot, the weird thing is that it never happened before.
Thanks for the advice though

I'm not sure if your are referring to the modem, I believe baseband refers to the modem. Regardless, can anyone confirm that modem works on the captivate? I don't know why, but I think that modem is for the Vibrant.

Get on over to the "soggycashew.weebly" website for modem dance and also find which modem is best for your area via map location. I just did the dance again the other night and fixed my phone. I'm using the T959tljl3 - radio-cm7-ics-captivate-tljl3-signed.zip download/modem. Works perfect up in Ottawa.

WiFi problem

Hello all,
My SGS has the weirdest WiFi problem. It connects. It browses. It works fine.
BUT, it does not got to certain speeds or certain distances from the router.
The available internet speed for phones in my university is 10mbit/s, but when i try speedtest, it gives me 790kbit/s.
And the max distance, in every single router I've tried, it's not as far as other phones can get. Even a Nokia E71 can get 10 more meters away from the router than I can.
Example: I can be sitting with my friend, who has an HTC. He is downloading with 5Mb/s and sitting further away from the router outside. While I am downloading at 60Kb/s.
I've tried many ROMs (currently on CM9), and none of them worked.
Thanks, and sorry for the long post.

Speedtest shows 790kbit/s or 790kBit/s ??? As you know 1kb ~ 8kB
If there is indeed something wrong, I would try different modem, not different ROM.

My bad. KBit/s. In either case, my phone is many MBit/s behind. Would a different modem work on CM9?

And what is your current modem?
By the way, ~6,5mb/s from shared wifi access point with speed limited to 10mb/s is not so bad?

It's not bad at all. But all I am getting is 50-60Kb/s of download speed and at very short distances.
How do I know my modem? I only know the official GB modem I flashed using Odin.

Hmmm, I recommend you Google best kernel for wifi, I am using one of the latest devil kernels and I have the best wifi in my skwl, I choose a setting in recovery that allowed for better signal.

OK well in recovery there's an option called devil, then wifi, then u change to the one that uses more battery but gives you better signal

OK, I was wrong with my modem/radio idea
Anyway, if you get speed over 6Mb/s from public 10Mb hotspot (SpeedTest result) your phone is OK! When you try to download something, and it is downloading slow, it probably means that the server you are downloading from has slow upload speed... Result from SpeedTest shows that your connectivity is fine...

Clearly you have got the buck wrong here man, its not only his speed that is the problem, it is the range, this phone is capable of a lot of range, I can reach wifi networks from down the road when I was on gb and ice isn't quite as good and he wants the best he can get.

Sorry for the late reply guys. changing the modem and the kernel didn't work. It is still super SLOW and the range is still the same (even after turning on Devil's fast-wifi)
Any more suggestions?

Modem does not affect wifi!!!! If you think that it is placebo for you.

Contrary to popular belief, the modem does not affect your Wi-Fi signal, that is handled by the kernel.

you're wrong son, i have tested aprox.~ 10 Modems, Tested on Wifi Signal and the modem affect Wifi. On a modem 200kb and another 2mb (same wifi router )
Best for me , XXJVT , Good Signal, Wifi.

The only thing that may affect it is the time taken to connect to wifi :highfive:
