KB5 is the all around winner for me in Oklahoma. Can top out around 6mbps near the towers and wifi is fast and solid also.

KA7 is my modem of choice, very rare dropped data connections, good speed and decent battery life (in southern california).
Who doesn't know scrizz is the modem king??? Kb5 in Chicago seems to have the best balance of solid connections and quick data.
is there a way to check what modem you currently have?
Does a modem swap help with the issue where callers cant hear you properly and you have to mute/unmute to fix???

Thanks, I actually never considered KA7 because I have been rocking KB5 in OC / LA area thinking that the latest modem will be the best. when It comes to the modem, I do favor data over battery and do apprechieate the balance of the two.

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'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)

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 ?

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.

Hi,
I would like to post the fascinate 3G+ 2.3.3 Rom that the hardware seems same as Vibrant , so devs can have a look at it for a cyanogen or/and custom roms GPS Drivers.

Pretty sure the GPS hardware on the Fascinate is quite different. Isn't it even a CDMA phone?? Thanks for the effort, but I am pretty sure these aren't the Droids we're looking for

notice the title of the thread says "Fascinate 3G+" and not "Fascinate". the Fascinate 3G+ is a device sold in Canada by Telus (model number T959D, I believe). It's GSM and is basically a rebranded Vibrant.
The GPS fix WILL NOT WORK. The hardware radio is the same as an i9000.
The vibrant is very diffrent from the other galaxy s variants because its the only model that supports 1700mhz 3g. To have this band, it requires a different hardware radio.
The fascinate 3g+ may look identical to the vibrant but the insides are very similar to an I9000 other than the front capacitive buttons.

No need to do it because i said so after all you need to flash a compatible rom before the bootloader so you have the correct partitions on the phone .
If you flash only the rom and not the bootloaders on a vibrant when you plugin any usb lead it will bootloop.
And why? We have cyanogen support, i dont see the benefits.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but these GPS files are working like garbage on my T-Mobile Vibrant. I let it go for 15 minutes, and still no lock. I replaced pretty much ever file that had anything to do with GPS in it's filename. It was a failure.
Also, FM Radio app refuses to install.
Honestly, all the nay-sayers need to settle down a tick. Any, and ALL attempts to fix the Ginger GPS issues with the Vibrant are welcome. Hell I've even gone as far as to put a piece of copper tape across the inside of my back plate (slightly better cell reception, no impact on GPS). So keep 'em coming! I'm grateful someone at least is working on it, even if it might be futilely, since waiting for Samsung/T-Mo to do it has created nothing but a bunch of bitter pessimists. And last time I checked, bitter pessimists don't improve GPS reception, no matter how hard you flash them!
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
Hopefully the CM7 developers take a look at those files, (mainly atinm, and Kaik541). GPS is something I personally do not care about but will make others settle down.
