I also had bad data reception with 9.4 - just updated to 9.5 its using a different modem (JVE) ... seems ok now.

You'll need a modern that supports the 850MHz band. Not sure if the JVE modem does but most of the ones bundled with Darky's roms don't.

Why don't you just update to v9.5? Its stable and has alot of bugfixes from v9.4.

Ok will do. Can apply the modem separately? Or do i have to apply the image jl2.image and then 9.5 darky?
The other think i dont know.how to update from 9.4 to 9.5 darky rom. Do i have to go first to stock and then to darky?

Use this to install 9.5
Download odin
Restart your phone into download mode - you can just power off and click download mode for darky's rom
After doing so, hook it up to your computer and open Odin
Under "Phone" field - select the ugjl2.zip listed above - that's the modem file used by Bell
Click "Start" in Odin
The update should be really fast. After doing so, it should restart your phone and you should be using the correct modem

For 850 band i use znkp1. 8 to 10 second gps lock, 5 to 15 meters accuracy, excelent signal (Argentina).
Can post link because i don't write too much here

thanks a lot guys for your help.
awesome i have reception again
i had to install the stock first, root and then install darky 9.5. it did not let me install darky 9.5. I have disabled lagfix and it was showing me next reboot it will be disabled but it still was enabled. No matter how many times i set it disabled it would not disable the lagfixes. Any suggestion for further upgrade might be helpfull and make the upgrade lot easier instead of installing to stock and then to darky.

You shouldn't need to go back to stock
You should be able to disable lagfix via recovery mode and then upgrade the rom afterwards.
Try disabling and enabling your lagfix with 9.5 to see if the issue persists still.
Might be an issue with your clockwork recovery not working properly somehow...
Post on the darky forum instead of XDA for more help.

ok will
what about the right modem for canada fido. Do you think JL2 is the best ?

FINALLY found the best battery saver modem!(downloads available here for all modems)

Just wanted to share with you guys, I flashed a JS7 pda and ZSJPG modem recently, and its simply amazing..the battery life is simply amazing..I had only 1% loss in 10hours..I recorded this very well before I went to sleep.the phone of course was in standby mode(NOT airplane mode), taskilled everything and its 79% when I left it there..when I woke up this morning..holy jesus..78%!!!! LOL..You don't have to doubt me, believe me or not..try it on your own..
Btw, I din't flash any kernel or use any tweaks..purely stock JS7, no lagfix no nothing..battery recalibrated of course.
you can find the modem here, big thanks to @addicted2088 for making it a .tar file so u can flash it through odin.

p.s. just found that this modem was mentioned in Doc's modem guide as 1 of the best battery life modem.lol..I think the battery life could be even better if + damian's undervolt kernel =) For those of you keep asking for battery life tips..perhaps you try this modem with damian's kernel first?
p.s.2 trust me, JPY modem sucks if you talking about battery life..I did exactly the same like above..taskilled recalibrating etc..leaving it overnight..and holy jesus..the battery dropped 4-5%..even WITH damian's undervolting kernel that time
p.s.3 YOU CAN DWLD ALL THE MODEMS HERE..A VERY USEFUL SITE, THANKS TO PERKA, YOU CAN BASICALLY GET EVERYTHING HERE, PLS BOOKMARK IT ON YOUR BROWSER =)http://perka.zapto.org/
I second that. Been running stock js7 and zsjpe modem and this has been the best setup ever on my phone. More reliable than any custom rom for me and physically just as fast as any quadrant STD hero rom out there. Its a keeper.

Guys, with JVE modem and Criskelo Gingerbread V15 ROM , I had same result - 1% over the night.
I think battery drain dependes pretty much on ROM used and apps installed, not only on modem.

I liked the jve modem alot on jv1 but was unsure how well a gb modem would be on 2.2.1.
Hows the Criskelo rom? Any fc's? Random reboots? Good enough as a reliable daily phone? I downloaded it but js7 was working so well I left my phone alone. The most reliable setup to date. Phone has not been rebooted or powered off for 4 days now and not one task killer applied. No auto record on calls. (The only reason for leaving Darkys)New subtle changes and 1500 - 1560 everytime on quadrant. Stock rom with voodoo. Happy as.

Criskelo ROM is great - no problem with v15 . Minimal tweak for low memory settings should be applied.
Does this modem support 850 band?

The same here with JVE, the best modem regarding batt life and signal reception. i tried ZSJPG, but i noticed that the signal reception was worst than XXJPY so i tried JVE and now i am happy camper.
ive tried the modem you recomend and i see improvement with my battery to !thank you !
Thanks for this guys.
Will try later.
I flashed darkys final and I got 40% drain over my 6.5 hours sleep. Spare parts told me it wasn't sleeping for 5 hours.
watch out! noob question!
can i update my phone with only modem file in odin? and keep all data?
And also does anyone have apn list for JPG modem?
In odin, what i need to mark?.. (i used it just for kernel up until now)
BTW i got lagfix should i turn them off before flushing this?

No, you cant use Odin with just 1 single modem file, you have to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265..dwld the CWM file if you are using heimdall..and then extract the modem.bin file from the update.zip you dwlded..put that modem.bin file ONLY in the modem section and flash

ALWAYS disable lag fix and backup first when you are about to flash new stuffs unless its updates from kernel to kernel

If you would be so kind to put up all of the files!
me = first time for this rom & modem. Currently on JPY and NOT happy with battery life!! :_(
I have 512 pit file. Just need the other 3
p.s wait so you're saying we can have a rom, a different modem to the rom mixed in one firmware???

Yes, you can update/change modem using Odin by flashing the modem only, no pit and no re-partition, I do that all the time. The modem has a separate sector on the phone ROM, flashing modem only will not erase your applications or settings.
Good luck
tnx but what i need to mark on odin?

Loss of data connection ( and buggy phone part)

Hello
i just updated my galaxy s to the leaked 2.3.3 build from a danish 2.2.1 build i tryed reflashing it since i had problems with no data connection and errors in phone part ( though it worked, just a bit buggy) the reflash and repartion that i choose to do since i had voodoo kennel on my phone before did not help either, so now my phone cant use data connection
anyone have any suggestions? maybe it is a common error? i tryed googling and looking a bit but did not see anything.
I really appreciate the help, another thing i would love would be a 2.3.3 build with danish keyboard/speech in it.
Are you saying that you flashed to a phone that was lagfixed .
If so its broke your phone Undo lagfix before flash is rule one .
You will need to flash stock rom using Odin to get a working phone .
jje
Okay but i flashed the version that was out in the forum with Odin, what Rom should i flash to get back to a state where i can flash 2.3.3 with Odin again? and will i need to re partion, i kinda thought that would take care of the laggfix?
I'm not sure what your problem is. Just take the files from the JVK Rom (PDA, Modem, CSC) add a pit file (512.pit or what you want) and select repartition and click start. Don't need to disable lagfix if you do it that way.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Hmm okay the thing is i already did exactly that and still no data connection :S
Maybe i need to flash a kennel without laggfix?
I have now flashed samsung stock kennel for 3.3.3 , i have reflashed 2.2.1 the version i get from my kies in Denmark and everything works in 2.2.1, now i tryed reflashing 2.3.3 and i still got the same problem as before any help would be much appreciated
Sounds like you need to put in your telco specific APN to get data working.

It's not a file, it's the name/details of a server on your provider's network. If you didn't back up your original firmware, you'll probably have to call your network or check their website.
Word to the wise - reposting the same question after 7 minutes won't win you too many friends
Danish 2.3.3 keyboard - best to wait until the Nordic firmware is released/leaked.
Thanks the VPN from my network provider solved it!
btw i did not repost any question it was not the same question and i only posted course i was still in doubt.
again thank you all, properly never would have throught of VPN Settings by myself
No problem, glad you sorted it out.

[Odin]Stock EH06 Deodexed - Modem Question

So I'm running the rom posted on the development page - [Odin]Stock EH06 Deodexed with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.19/Working Browser
Due to being a newbie here I can't post this question there.. but perhaps it'll get answered here.
What are my modem options running EH06? (Gingerbread 2.3.4 I believe)
My connection is awful using whatever modem that comes with this rom. I'd like to try some other options.
And do I flash like normal using Odin or do I really need to watch the videos posted on the modem files links?
Thanks!

My experience with eh06 has been great so far. Mabe try reflashing the rom,or just the modem and see if it makes a difference. I beielve you can try whatever modem you want on here. (Ec05, ef02, eg22) Just flash it through odin. Make sure you nandroid first though just in case.
From cellblock D
Flash whatever modem you like.
In Odin > Options > Only check "Auto Reboot"
Under "files [Download]" > check "Phone" box > select xxxx.bin (modem version)
Start.

I've been running that rom since Friday night 8/19 with no issues at all. Try re-flashing the modem and/or the entire package. I've always heard that gingerbread needs an updated radio so I'd be hesitant to use an older baseband.
Also from lurking around I've seen people say that Gingerbread organizes the data partition a little different than Froyo. So try not restoring and instead reinstall your apps.
Edit: I'm a newbie here too, Just came over from SDX when I traded my Samsung Moment for an Epic earlier this month.
I am on that rom too. What rom did you flash from?
Good luck

Best stock firmware + modem combination for Galaxy S

Guys I hope it helps some of you who wish to remain stock.
I have been using the JVT since it came out, have been quite pleased with performance and battery life, however the wifi disconnection bug has been a pain during my long skype conversations and the phone fc has also happened couple of times while it should not...
I have tried to solve this issue using stock combinations and after several trials, the solution for me was to have stock JVT + JVK modem. Phone works really good, no fc bug, no wifi disconnection, great battery life and performance. I am honestly totally pleased and will not flash my phone again until we have ICS bug free for our phones
I honestly hope it helps some and please ignore this message if you think stock sucks.
you need to flash jvt first, and after that flash jvk modem?
so should flash jvk modem on to existing jvt?

You can get a jvk modem from various download sites, just do a Google search for jvk modem.
I've been trying this combo for a few days and it's rock steady.

Can you please specify exact version of modem? I guess stock JVT stands for XXJVT 2.3.5 rom and modem could be XWJVK or XXJVK. I m not sure. Links would be helpful as well.

Nice, I've been waiting for such a combination without the wifi disconnection bug.
How did you flash the modem? First install jvt normally and then flash only the jvk modem? Ty

Hi, I am sorry to hear, somehow the wifi bug has not appeared for me after the flashing. I cannot explain why this is not happening now, but before it was coming always when I used skype, now it us not happening. Sorry I could not be much of a help! The phone fc bug also stopped for me after flashing xxjvk modem. I can only say that I'm probably a very lucky chap then.
jvk modem is good...but i didnot suffer any wifi disconnection with jvt modem ...i think problem is with jvs modem

i9000 with ICS problems.

Guys,
I've been using an SGS, followed by an SGS 2 and have always used custom ROMs without any issues in the past. I have recently traded the SGS 2 with a friend for my old blu-ray player and an old SGS. Long story, won't go into why.
No matter which build of ICS I am using, I am getting serious problems with this phone. SlimICS does not find a signal at all, it just says no service. On the one I am running at the moment (4.0.4 GTi9000_IMM30B_BETA_8_RC) and also with the nightly CyanogenMod builds, if I take or make a phone call, everything is fine. When I next go to make a call, the earpiece does not become active. The data and normal network connection is still active, but this renders the phone almost useless - having to reboot the phone every time I wish to make a phone call takes as long as sending an email for me!
Also, I should be able to choose Tmobile Orange as my network service as I am with T-mobile, who is partnered with Orange to give better signal. On the ROM I currently use, "Tmobile Orange" is not a selectable network.
Is this a problem I can resolve by flashing with a different modem?
If I can't fix this I will probably just run over the phone and buy a Nokia Lumia (change does wonder for a headache!)
Any help is appreciated.

Yes I've actually used the JVU one from it and I also tried using Odin to flash it manually using the modem I am able to get Tmobile Orange with at the moment on Gingerbread - neither work.
Is there a specific modem I need to use in the UK to get this reception?
Go to samfirmware and see which it is under your section. Ex my download is called something like ""XX-KG3. Which means my modem is KG3.

I am getting nothing from the Checker page when I type in the details I have.
Like I said, I know it is JVU firmware I have because I've manually flashed it and it works perfectly, but when I install SlimICS it simply does NOT pick up a signal at all, even if I flash it with a radio seperately afterwards.
No signal
I installed Slim JB yesterday and no signal at all.
I tried JPG and JPU modems from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783 but no avail.
Still no signal. I am going to try with other sims and even other roms to asses my problem.
