Best Modem for JVT?

Hi,
what Modem would you suggest to use with GB JVT?
My wifi signal is always rather weak (no or poor signal, when other devices still have a good connection) and I also have GPS issues sometimes. I was on JVQ till today but JVT modem does not seem so be any better.
I can still remember that both, wifi and GPS worked much better when I was on Froyo...
Any Ideas?

Semaphore kernel, fastest ive used, and most reliable and has support for init.d. if i helped please click on the thanks button

Im inthe UK and found exactly the same as you. Having tried a few modems im settled on ZSJPG. give it a try m8 see what you think. Not sure on battery drain seemed no more than the others but it keeps signal where JVT and JVQ was struggling.

Did he ask about kernel?
I have been using ZSJPG too. Best for me. You should really try it out

Likewise, ZSJPG is the best for me too. I found battery life is loads better with it as well, I believe it's a Japanese modem that's been optimised for use in built up areas though so it may depend on the area you're in. I'm in London, and it works amazingly for me...

He spoke about Wifi. This is controlled by the kernel.
GPS on the other hand is controlled (AFAIK) by the modem.
When I was in Deutschland I ran with KG3 and it was good for both battery life and speed.
I have tried ZSJPG and that's excellent for battery life and for call quality. I found it did dodgy things to my GPS and the download speeds.

So from what cointry sre yoy? Im from germany and like tje jvs modem

EDIT: Ignore what I just said, you were on Tapatalk. From Australia matey.
On XXJVT now and the JVT modem gives me no issues but I'm on Teamhacksungs ICS Build 6. Seems to have pretty much bugger all standby battery drain unless you sync google photos to your Gallery or involve the stock email app.

it all depends on the locations you're from ZSJPG is for mainly asian countries but it works a charm on other countries i recommend you go to a german galaxy s forum and asking there such as GOAtools.de to ask

Best ICS rom

Which is the best ics rom now available, which have 720p recording, fm radio etc

After trying a couple of them, I am sticking to custom GB ROM (MIUI Mintberry) as stability and "everything works" is more important for me. Every ICS ROM I tried needed some or the other compromise to be made.
But to answer your question, I personally felt one by team ICSSGS was good though they have pulled their latest beta 4 due to issues. You could try DrZmiui if you like the MIUI interface.

MIUI is a very good ICS rom, but Mobile tethering doesnt work.
Anyone else who have this problem?

I am on ICSSGS RC4 . It works like a charm, wifi and usb tethering also.
I am still watching on battery usage, but seems to be as a Ginger Rom

Using Teamhacksungs CM9. But this ROM comes without FM Radio. but the adjustments in that ROM are very good.
ICSSGS supports FM Radio, so maybe you have a look at this one...

They just pulled that ROM down, so must have had some serious errors ;-)
But in general i can also recommend the ICSSGS ROM's. I am still on 3.1 but have no issues

I am on ICSSGS RC4 and it would be the best for my taste. They have to fix some minor issues

They pulled it because some people is having an issue of 3g preference over wifi. Not in my case.

Yep I have already seen. But, luckily, I still have not any trouble with this ROM.
Hope they continue to develop it

well, that question that you asks us is hard to answer because it's different for every user.
Well, I like MIUI a lot so i've recently start using DrZmiui's ROM and it works like a charm. But heard a lot of good news about mintberry, so if you really want to know you've got to compare them and maybe install them all just once to compare.

I tried it today on MB and it worked 2 times out of 5. Switch WIFI on and try and off and try again did it.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned cm9 yet. It works smoothly for me, but like all ICS roms, the lack of ram on the SGS causes minimised apps to occasionally close. That's pretty much the only weakness I see in the rom.

Well I already mentioned that Page 1. For me it works very well so far...
You can modifiy a lot in that rom. More settings will come soon...
Do you know its possible to change the icons in the status bar in ICSSGS rom?

No, ICSSGS is an AOSP meaning "as google intended"

Im on CM9 and its a stable ROM, but there is no fmradio So you can try TEAMICS

does it have the power widget and ad hoc wifi support?
Also, I had earlier tried OneCosmic's build, currently using teamhacksung. So far I like teamhacksung build 15 barring some minor issues. like headphone icon doesn't appear, mic doesn't work, gps icon doesn't appaer in status bar, but it is in power widget, so not major issue. And now I noticed youtube app not playing anything, though browser is able to play.

Are these roms will receive updates to 4.0.4 ? (for nexus it's already out)

I used CM9 build 15, still alot not working and alot of FC's.
Went back to CM7, think they need a little bit more time to get the rom stable.

I am using ICSSGS RC3.1 for past two weeks still now I haven't faced any issues. Its a smooth ICS ROM.
Badly waiting for RC4, which they have pulled due to some serious WIFI/Data issues.

ICSSGS it certainly is.
I fully agree with devav, Team ICSSGS' rom's the best around for now ), even if it's RC3.1 (I'm too waiting for RC4). There you can find working 720p HD video @ 30fps that REALLY works (no stutter), panorama photography, face unlock, fully working hardware acceleration, music player, e-mail, Holo UI with all its eyecandy etc. (~98% of all rom is working).
NOTICE: ICS is a quite new OS which is primarily optimized for modern dual- or even quad-core processors and ~1024Mb RAM. So you have to get yourself an appkiller / any other RAM emptier + auto cache cleaner because of the ICS' memory-hunger. ICS can be a bit laggy when using stock 100/1000 clocks.
I highly recommend an OC with undervolting (to save juice).
My settings are:
GOV: smartass v2
MAX: 1200MHz (UV)
MIN: 400MHz (UV), and my battery lasts for 7-8 hours of moderate usage and my phone being able to run team ICSSGS' rom pretty flawlessly.

Help choosing a modem.

I'm currently switching up ics roms and kernels to see which works best for me but I do not understand modems so I need some help here. I saw jk4 on the map close to me. I live in jacksonville fl and commute all around the city and west of jacksonville daily I was wondering which ones to try out.
Thanks

Just start downloading them and trying them, giving them about 2 days before you decide if you like it. Several factors to consider are call quality, signal strength, battery life, and GPS reception. Since your using ICS roms, you must use the modems packaged as CM7/MIUI. You try using something else and it won't flash.
Look >>HERE<< for all the modems you would ever want to try. (FWIW, I like BVJWW2)

Like mrhaley said, there are a variety of things that affect it. JK4 worked great for me when I was in Florida, so I would start there. JW2 is nice also, but it seems like people can't hear me as well with it.

JK4 FTW! I've stayed with it since Eclair and it still works great now I'm on THS ICS. Great starting point to try out.

I flashed jk4 just now. Im over my data limit so I will not be testing internet yet, if it works better I will see better battery life because service is better and faster internet? Is that right?

I'm not sure about better battery life but call quality, data speed and connection stability will definitely improve if the modem is right for you

Better battery life will happen if it gives you better signal strength in the areas you spend the most time.

Thanks for that info

hope can get some advice
Hello guys, a few days back I flashed teamhacksung's CM9 ALPHA for Captivate (BUILD 17) on my wife's phone, but she has told me that her apps are not syncing outside of a wifi connection.
I'm thinking it might be something related to the modem.
So I'm looking for any advice on which moden should I load, considering we live in Venezuela? Any tips?
Regards.

Someone listed the "UGKC1" modem in use in Panama. You might consider UGJL2 or UGKG3 also, near by. Search "soggy cashew captivate modem" and check the map. Update your own listing if you find something that works.

That is a bit out of date, you probably should flash a newer build

Thanks for the info guys, had to flash elite v. 10.1 rom, this was the only rom that would enable data service.
Tried:
AOKP-captivatemtd-build-35
F1-galaxynexus-galaxys-20120502-beta2
Nostalgia-b31-v5.4
Team ICSSGS
CM9-20120510-nightly
CNA-1.5.5
Dark Knight v5.5
Elite v.10.1 was the only rom that connected data service.
The good things is that my wife likes it as is right now, which makes it easy on me. Hehehe.

UK GPS Signal on ICS

Anyone got any solid advice, fact based evidence on how to sort out out dodgy GPS signal on ics. Tried many modems, many gps.conf files, they make a little difference but still nowhere as good as GB. Currently using slim 3.7 on semaphore, thx dudes

Allegedly, the JW4 modem ICS to work well. Tested themselves I don't have that but yet ^^

thanks, tried jw4 and jvu, these were fine on GB but not on ics, so it must be something else, just need to find out what
Sent using TCP/IP

try JVT modem from the modem thread in here somewhere. it has good signal and else on ICS. Im in ireland and have no problem with reception or gps. hope it will work well in uk.

cheers mate, tried jvt (and a few more from perkas stash) wiped cache/dalvik, still dodgy grrrrrrr,
was great on GB, 5-15m, no drops, as soon as i flashed ics, its 10-40m with dropouts, was the same on cm9 and slim, annoying as i use navigation a lot, thx for reply
oh, i do get a decent fix when stationary, then it loses the plot a bit when i start driving

Been looking around other forums, it appears that ics does provide a dodgy GPS signal for many phones. Thats that then :'(
Sent using TCP/IP

Noticed that, too. On any ICS ROM I tried GPS signal is very jumpy, fixes take ages and the refresh rate of the GPS signal is every 100-300 meters.
Flashed Darky ROM 9.5 to see if the battery runtime is indeed as good as everyone states (in my opinion better then GB but equal to ICS) and experienced fabulous GPS performance, fixes in 5-10 seconds and constant GPS signal. However there might also be GB ROMs that are equally performant.

Better WIFI signal on Froyo!!?!!

Hi all,
Yesterday i have installed a stock Froyo ROM on my i9000 to check the calls recoding function.
I have notice that way that the WI-FI signal was stronger that on Gingerbread, ICS or Jelly Bean ROM-s, allot much stronger.
I was able to have a "good"reception in places that before was no WIFI signal from the same modem.
I have checked the straight whit WIFI Analyzer from the market to be sure that is not just a graphic misunderstand on signal icon on Froyo but the signal was better then my HTC Desire who beats the s*** out my Galaxy on signal straight from the first day with my Galaxy. The test was make it yesterday and today not just at one moment.
Way is this difference and why nobody has notice that till now, or i haven't find yet a topic whit this problem.
I think this is a problem by drivers, and maybe is like call recording function that works only on Froyo ROMS.
Has someone notice the week WIFI signal straight compare to other phones? Is someway to have the Froyo advantages, like WIFI straight and call records on newer ROMS?
Thanks and sorry for my english!

No I dont think so as foryo is sammy based and the ICS, JB are on source relased by google and the dev are trying to have it to the best they can.
If you want those features then I would say you stick with foryo/GB...

Ok, but even on Gingerbreed? I'm happy with my stock Gingerbreed with few mods...but Froyo....is to old.

I'm on froyo from almost a week. The wi-fi signal is great, the call record is working very good and the battery life is ok, over 24hours with Wi-fi on and 5 mail accounts sinking at 15 minutes. The froyo stability is over everything. No FC till now.
But i really miss the newest rom-s customization modes, and others improuvments, like Pdroid.
I'm waiting opinions from others users that downgrade to froyo after gingerbread, ICS, Jelly Bean (like me) for one of this two reasons: calls record function and a significant better Wi-fi signal.
