[Q] Installed CM 7.1; Have mis-matched modem and no HSUDPA. - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed CM 7.1 and noticed that downloads show as H but uploads are showing up with 3G. I have an SGH-I897 but have noticed that my baseband is T959TLJL3, an i9000 baseband. Is this a good situation? Is there a more appropriate modem I should be using? I've also noticed Tasker is having problems consistently switching between 2G and 3G.
I've also lost all access to the service menus; is this due to the baseband or CM? I'm not sure if that's code Samsung open sourced (and thus could be in CM) these menus or if I have to temporarily switch back to stock rom to access those menus?
Thanks,
BB45

CM7 is based on the i9000 roms so they use i9000 modems, which is perfectly ok for captivate. you can try other CM7 modems from the sticky thread in dev section for better speed. There is not much difference between i897 and i9000 modems except H symbol tho...i guess service menus u r talking about are Samsung specific....CM7 is AOSP based rom..so any Samsung feature wont work on it....

Wifi signal recieved is lower than before custom rom , how to improve please ?

Hi , my router is working very well , but since i have updated to a custom firmware , using wifi analyzer on my phone i can clearly see the signal is around one third lower than before my custom firmware (juwes 5.2 XXJVQ from a fresh install , semaphore kernal 1.3.2).
what can i try to do to improve my phones reception ability for wifi ? reflash certain parts , edit files , tweaks etc.
like i say router has not changed , my other phones all register with there original strong signal using wifi analyzer from the market place.
i'm new to odin , so if files need to be flashed , please let me know which file and which section it goes in please , i'm happy to experiment , but not sure what i should be experimenting with
T.Y
Try experimenting with different kernels as they contain the wifi bits and pieces
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
It also happens to me (darky rom 10.1) w/ 2.3.3
thank you for your reply , but could you give me a bit of a clue as to what to do and how to experiment ? so i be downloading different stock roms and flashing the modem only onto my custom rom ?
Get Wi-fi Analyzer and have a look at the signal strength as you flash different modems.
Perka's stash is a good place to find CWM packages of modems only.

[Q] Phone Calls Original tab 7 abd ICS ????

hi
i have an original p1000(bell canada)running the euro rom that allows phone calls sms etc.
works very well.
my question is there a way to enable phone calling with any of the ics builds??
basically i want my original tab(p1000)to run any version of ics and still allow
phone capabilities.
possible?
i am not scared to use odin
thanks
all the ICS build now (CM9 and AOKP) support calling.
is there a thread that i can read up on this?
all i can find are the original threads with the euro rom and bell modem.
nothing newer about ics.
thanks
and thanks given
ICS is not stable yet. Various functions are not working or partially working.
Why not try Overcome 4.1 ROM. It is Gingerbread based and very close to Samsung stock. Very popular ROM.
There is a thread in Dev section.

[Q] Slim ICS + Semaphore 125sc, no GPS

I've searched a lot for this and haven't come across anyone with the same problem, so I wanted to ask. I've tried flashing different kernels and modems, but it hasn't changed anything. I'll try to flash a different ROM next, but I don't know if that's the issue or not, so I wanted to go ahead and ask the question.
Model: Captivate (SGH-I897)
Android: 4.0.4
Modem: I9000UGKG3
Kernel: 3.0.17-Sepmaphore_ICS_1.2.5sc (#20 PREEMT Jun 20)
Build: 4.0
Mod: Slim_ICS_4.0.4
I have an I9000 modem for Slim, which as far as I can tell is correct since it requires a modem compatible with CM9. I've tried a few different kernels, all of which I found recommended across various Slim discussion forums.
My problem: The GPS logo won't even show up. It is enabled in the config (verified several times). GPS doesn't appear to work at all and won't turn on when suppose to be activated (i.e. with GPS Status, Google Maps, etc.)
From what I understand, the modem has nothing to do with the GPS. What about the kernel? Note that my GPS worked OK on stock Gingerbread. The update to ICS and over to a I9000 settings has killed it, and I can't figure out why.
Is there something obvious I'm missing? I'll flash a different ROM later tonight... the GPS is the only thing that really doesn't work. (I mean, it never worked great, but now it won't even act like it is coming on.) Suggestions?
Take a look in the modems thread in the Development section - follow the link and grab one of the modems specifically for CM7/CM9/MIUI. I don't know that I9000 modems will work properly with ICS roms.
Great, thanks for the help. Not sure what the problem was, but I reflashed with JK4 and now everything is working like it should be again. Thanks for the help!

[Q] Cyanogen mod and modem.bin

Hi all,
owner of an old Galaxy S GT-i9000.
I've installed CyanogenMod 10.1-20130501-nightly-galaxysmtd directly from old standard Samsung installation.
It works fine (Apollo have some crashes but I can wait a stable version)
But there is a problem about modem.bin file and settings.
My offices are partially shielded so with the standard Samsung OS the modem signal go up and down like a yoyo but works (a lot of patience) depending also from position (no openable Windows ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif )
With the CyanogenMod (also with stable version and not only with nightly) the line don't exist ...
Not only but if I go along the street the line is off ... I must restart the phone and all works with good performances.
I'm thinking that the modem.bin in CyanogenMod is for a different country of mine.
I'm in Italy and my provider is Wind.
Maybe there is a better (older?) version of modem.bin for Italy & Wind?
So I can install it via Odin in the phone or insert the zip file in internal SD and load it in recovery mode.
Any suggestion is accepted ... I can also testing several versions if it is necessary
Please an help is appreciated ...
Hi...I would suggest you to download getril from the market and check if your ril and baseband versions match...if not you can have some pretty bad problems when it comes to reception.
Also when ril and baseband don't match you can get the, i think it was the jvu ril from the app itself....then flash the jvu modem from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870460
Another thing that could be is, that the 3g reception in your area is a bit weak....try to force 2g networks and check if it is getting better for you

The reception 3g or 2g is weak because the building is "shielded" (many iron and iron gates so it seems a faraday's cage) ...
I'll try to dl the app you suggest me and I try to use the jvu modem version ... the std should be the jw4 ...
thank a lot I'll give you all feedback
help me plzz...

[Q] android and radio clarification

I need some clarification regarding android and radio baseband.
I'm running latest cm-11 nightly and my baseband version is XXUEMK1
Is this radio included in the cyanogenmod ROM or is it a separate partition that wont get updated with a ROM flash?
I've found the thread with a list of different radio ROMS for the i9305. Are these optimized for different countries or will they work regardless of country?
Is there a way to backup my current radio if I want to try a different radio and need to revert? XXUEMK1 is not listed in the thread with all the ROMS.
Found some information in another tread:
Baseband / Modem / Radio - This is the software that manages your connection to wireless networks, be that voice or data. Unlike unrooted users, you can download and flash any number of i9300 (Versions for other models WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE) or i9305 radios pulled from official ROMs. I wouldn't waste too much time on them. Usually what your official ROM comes with in your country / for your carrier, is the most optimised for you. Try a few by all means but don't waste time testing every last one.
Be aware that Samsung official ROMs come with a baseband. Often this means Samsung based custom ROMs may also do so. Some ROMs which install using the Aroma installer (A kind of set-up wizard) may give the option to not flash the baseband. AOSP ROMs almost never come with a baseband. When you flash a ROM withotu a baseband, the previous baseband remains. You can by all means, mix and match ROMs and basebands. You are not tied to the baseband with the same build number as the ROM. For example, if you are on XXEMB1 ROM, you definitely do NOT have to stay on the XXEMB1 baseband.
