Hello, i have just noticed my phone model is not p970 but p970h, is there any difference? What does the 'H' mean?
Thanks.

From website gsmnation.com this and this, the difference is only the 3G freq.
P970 3G Network: HSDPA 900 / 2100.
P970h 3G Network: HSDPA 850 / 1900.

I see, well, will i still be able to use p970 firmware/RoMs though?

It should work (but not guarantee) might be having problem with 3G, but you can try it.. And if it doesn't work, you can always go back to your original ROM.

When i was on Nova v8, my 3G was so slow most of the time, and i had low signal bars sometimes, would that be because of it? or is it just because of a lame carrier?

It might be, because the 3G frequency are difference But how about with your original ROM, is it fine with 3G?
I Haven't used it for enough time, I flashed to Nova a few days after i purchased it so i can't really tell, guess i'll have to find out now.
I probably wouldn't be able to update to 2.3/4.0 until one of the carriers releases a version for p970h. :/
Perhaps it can, if you able to customized your ROM to work with P970h 3G bands

well, cm7 is already based on 2.3... comparing original rom [froyo] to cm7 [GB] in my opinion and exp cm7 has a greater performance like stock=4 sit sedan and cm7=F1
battery is somehow the same, and with costum kernels is getting even better
so it's up to you really

All the Canadian ones are in the Captivate directory. They're still in the SF repository. Why would anyone look in the i9000 section to find 850mhz capable basebands?
I ran JL2 for months, Then KC1 for a while. Now onto 2.3.3 with KC1 modem. Not much difference between JL2 and KC1. Both have amazing battery life. The biggest difference is I find the KC1 modem way better. I dropped calls at my house often with the last few months of JL2 but now I get good reception.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to check if my 850 bands are on or not. Or if the modem is even installed.
Anyone who could guide me in the right direction would be most kind.
For some reason my web browser doesn't connect through 3G, but it does with wifi, any hints?
Also thanks for the modem shadoslayer.

Because the Captivate != i9000m? I wouldn't think to check under the captivate section for modems for the i9000m, since the captivate is the SGH-i896. Considering it is a different build of CM7 for the captivate and the two aren't compatible, I wouldn't have thought the modems were either.

On the status bar, do you have "3G" or "H" beside the signal bars? If you have a H, you're using HSDPA, which is good.
As for checking the bands under CM7, I have no idea how either and would really like to know since CM doesn't support samsung unstructured supplementary service data (USSD)...
And np on the modem and thanks for Furry for pointing out the modems are in the captivate section of sourceforge.
hey guys, while on this topic. What do you guys get with speed test? I'm on CM7 and KC1 and just ran it. Got 113ms ping, 1.27Mbps, 3.28Mbps. This is at 4:30pm. Ran it a few times, switching between Toronto and Oakville servers. Slow download
Edit:
Sigh. Just reran and got 6.11Mbps down and 1.59Mbps. Much better.

Yeah I have the H, so HSDPA is working, I suspect that's good for rural areas and low signal areas and I'm using most of my bands?
Also found this:
*#*#4636#*#* on phone dial pad, select phone information
It gets a bit of info on the radio methinks, but it hasn't gotten me closer to figuring out why my browsers only connect via wifi.

I didn't know about that code, thanks. Still doesn't show if the phone is on 1900/850 though. And I'm curious, when/how does the phone decide to switch between the two?

I restarted my phone and re selected, de selected bell for network operators. Double checked the APN settings (which were correct) Then went into proxy settings under system, and noticed the proxy was off, I turned that on, now everything is working dandy!
Strange I thought I did that before, but perhaps I didn't. Thanks Again!

Those are Samsung USSD codes and will work fine under any Samsung based rom, but they will not work under CM7. Those USSD codes must be in code either not released or not released under GPL for use in CM7.
I've asked a bunch of times and no one ever answered, so I'm assuming there is no way under CM7 to see which band the phone is currently using, which is incredibly frustrating!

I know on my Carrier (Telstra Australia) when it is connected to 850 it is connected to 'Telstra' and when its on 2100 its connected to '3Telstra'. I checked that in settings, above phone, Phone stats I think its called? Do you have something similar?
And I fixed my 3g but going to 2g and back to 3g Before that it was connoecting to 2100mhz :\ Weird..

I'm on CM7 with Bell as well and it works great out of the box, without knowing about this 850 band I dont know if I should flash the kc1 modem. Maybe just for kicks?

You have gotten the answer a few times...there is no way to check the band in CM7. If you feel you need one, raise it in the Dev forum once they open it back up to feature requests in a few weeks.
I would advise flashing KC1 and seeing how it goes. Keep an eye on your battery life, and how often the notification bar flips from 3G to H, and run Speedtests a few times a day. After a few days, decide if it is working better for you or not..if not, flash something else.
Modems are like fake IDs...if one doesn't work, flash another one.

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.

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.

Just finished flashing my Rogers Galaxy S Captivate to 2.3.4 with the ROM in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233620
From what I've read it's a stock AT&T ROM. I backed up my APN settings using the "APN Back and Restore" app, seems to have worked just fine. Phone works, internet works, everything seems to work just fine.
However, on my stock 2.2 I was getting HSPA. I've read around the boards and it seems as if the stock AT&T ROMS don't have HSPA ability out of the gate. Can anyone recommend a solution for getting my HSPA speeds back?
That would require an I9000 kernel/modem combination. And I do not know if that would work on that firmware. Pretty sure it won't.
Oh I did read about that, but wasn't sure if it would work with this firmware as you have pointed out.

You are both correct from the reading I've done as well. The i9000 ROM's allow both HSDPA, and HSUPA(4G). The i897 ROM's make use of the faster DL speeds just as the i9000's but do not allow for HSUPA, but they enable the use of the Audience Chip, which gives better call quality than the i9000 ROM's.

It's AT&T's version of "4G". It's really only the addition of the higher Upload speeds. Nothing changes regarding the DL speeds. In my area, upload speeds go from about 500-700kbps to around 1700kbps
Thanks for the help everyone, I appreciate the info.
Created a CWM zip with the Bell OTA GB radio and successfully flashed it.

Just installed it over Alien ROM. Download speeds are comparable to .30P, upload speeds are a bit better. One noticeable improvement though is that it takes less time to achieve a data connection when the phone wakes up.

I believe it's because the ATT baseband version has been optimized to work with the ATT towers.
For sweets and giggles I flashed this on my phone running CM7 Pre Beta 4 on AT&T and I am getting .5mbps faster download and upload all around.
*NOTE*
Seeing as how we all live in different areas of the world everyone's results are going to differ tremendously. What works for me might be sweeter for someone else. So this is just a little word to the wise.
I am NOT telling anyone to flash this on their phone. I am simply saying IF you decide to flash it, you'll most likely get way different results than I did.

The temperature's been fine but I haven't been paying a close eye. If it were anything out of the ordinary I'd pick up on it though.
You can flash a different radio if this isn't working out. N_01.11.30P is fantastic as well, but I think this may edge it out. If I'm not mistaken it sounds like the voice quality of calls have improved by quite a bit.

I just flashed this radio after i posted my question. Reception was never an issue for me anyways, so don't know if it has changed. I played HD game for a bit and same result as others, my phone's temp went up to 40 C in less than 10 minutes. I have not seen any radio which can fix this stupid heating problem. With Stock Froyo, never had to worry about temperature issue at all, ever since I have flashed different ROMS and kernels and radios, I haven't found any which is as good as the stock bell froyo.
Voice quality seems clearer and download speed seems a lil higher though.
I just got off the phone with my wife and this call quality has definite, definitely improved.
I talked to her at work in a relative dead zone and the call was quite clear as well. Thanks for sharing this radio!!

What about other phones? Do they get low signal too or it is just your phone? Maybe it is from your provider, low signal.
