Eb13 dev Roms = broken sms

I don't know about you guys but my messaging has been completely broken on the custom Eb13 roms. You know the usual. Not sending and whatnot.
Now hear me out...
I have flashed simply aosp and acs. Haven't tried bonsai Eb13 but i don't think i will. Now before i get flamed and Im told i didn't flash the right way i did. Flashed stock Eb13 through odin, then cwm 3.0.0.6, then after ext4 convert flash the Rom. Simple enough. Last night i decided to flash stock Eb13 deodexed. I converted to ext4 and Im using geno kernel 0.3a. Not only are my benchmark scores higher than any of the custom roms but.my sms has been working flawlessly. My gps for the.first time ever gets a lock within 5 seconds. Guaranteed. If you have problems with sms i suggest you do this. Btw with as much tweaking as acs has.done (or claim to have done) to stock why am i getting better benchmark results???
For those of you that are curious here are my benches...

I've never had a problem with SMS

Sms works fine with supernova. I haven't messed with gps enough to know how accurate it is. But it does get a fairly quick lock.

I bet its the Carrier IQ stuff giving you some awesome scores to keep you on that rom so they can track you!

The only reason your texts would not be sending is update your prl. And those benchmarks are way higher than what I was getting on the same rom and kernel. But it is not higher than my 2443 quadrant frozen rom and kernel so check yourself. You had to have something weird happen like maybe your restored data or ti backup will screw up a good flash.

Also your prolly getting those benchmarks because the carrier iq stuff is still gone. I think just because you flash a different rom it doesn't come unless you odin. I might be wrong but that is the logical explanation in your event.
FROZEN EPIC

A user in another SMS related thread said that he has found his SMS acts up when he does a Level 2 memory clear under task manager, and SMS won't return to normal after a full reboot.
Do you do this? I know I do, especially if I'm about to run some benchmarks, and my SMS goes to crap shortly thereafter.

No no. I dont do back ups lol if i wanna back something up ill drag it off the sd card into my laptop. Being a pc technician for so many years has taught me that installing os should and always be done from scratch. That way you get a full fresh install without any "baggage" left behind. I always odin, convert, then flash. I never flash any custom rum over anothet. So... my conclusion is that eb13 made some changes to antennae sensitivity. Today it actually was flaky for a bit... but when on the custom roms it was pure ****e. And yes im not an idiot the first thing i do when i flash a rom is profile and prl update. Flashing these roms must **** something over in the stock modem. I also flashed my girlfriends epic to acs and simply aosp with the same results!!! Only on stock eb13 does the sms work well. Like i said it as *****y today for about 5 minutes... but on these roms it was a constant issue. I dont have an issue with it as the phone is actually performing better than on those roms. I would get fc's here and there but on stock deodexed+geno+ext4 the only app thats giving me crap is the xda app!!for the past few hours ive been getting force closes when trying to reply lol whatevs its working for now...

^ This is the expected benchmark set on SRF. Anyone getting higher scores on stock than SRF did something strange, or is using Twilight Zone 1.0.1 without the On Demand governor.

Sounds like a one-off issue to me, haven't seen this one yet.

No interest in EC05 when I have EB13

Anyone else with me on this one? I really have no interest in moving over to EC05. I currently have no issues. I think I am going to hold out for GB.

I was cool with EB13. I'm cooler with EC05.

I didn't quickly jump on it either. I'm waiting for confirmation that my favorite theme, the gb theme, is working well on the newest version of acs srf. Until then I'm sizing with eb13.
... It pains me.having to go through all this damn work just to get it to pretend to be stock... Id kill for a completely stock gingerbread

EB13 works pretty good. I do suggest, a minimum, that you flash the EC05 modem. My 3g works better, and 4g is way better... lower latency, faster wake up, and quicker connect.

Only reason I updated is for the developer support on ec05.

If you were just stock I wouldn't think there would be much of a reason unless you use your phone for a gps navigation system..
But because I run Syndicate Frozen I went for the 1.1 upgrade. Haven't regretted it. Faster, smoother, and same battery life as 1.02.

The kernel for eb13 also has bad code for the camera video and sports mode, and Ec05 doesn't have it, but then you could flash the twilight zone kernel to fix that.

Newer is always better in the tech world. Even when they screw up the update because then their will be a newer fix. If you don't keep up with this **** you can be lost in a few months.

Agreed! At the least, you should upgrade the modem, and you can do this without any change to anything else.

It's because cell phone hackery has been around long enough to finally attract the 'old dog' demographic. Those people who never upgrade the OS their computer comes with, or still use Office 2000.
The idea that it works just fine by their standards tyvm, so why waste time getting something new if it isn't a huge change.
Mind you, that same old dog mentality means when a huge change comes along, they're just as crotchety and whine about why people are "fixing something that isn't broken".
Old coots. They eventually show up everywhere, hate change, and never seem to check into a nursing home fast enough.

I would upgrade. The gingerbread theme works just fine with the new srf 1.1.0 rom. plus until we have gingerbread all rom updates here will be ec05. Most of the upgrades are in the modem and camera anyways. I dont think they changed much if anything in the framework. I cooked up my own theme combining the gb and honeycomb theme with a couple new status bar icons but niether of those themes were updated for srf 1.1.0. Ive been running it since they released the rom with no problems.

(New Radio UPDATE) POST YOUR RESUTS AFTER FLASHING THE NEW RADIOS!!!

Post your results after flashing the new radios from the gingerbread update ..good or bad.......ups and downs.........get the point...

no problems here. updated radios/pri on the 3rd and have been getting slightly better service where i live. I also noticed that i could pick up 4g in an area where i was unable before.
i'm running decks and mikG (going back and forth)

4g seems a little more flaky here at work with the new radio Getting 1 bar to no bars where I used to have a fairly solid 2 bars.

Works for.me

Works for me have not tested 4g as ill prolly never have it on the boonies of SC 3g seems faster

My experience has been the same.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I have actually been a bit slower on 4G. Use to get a solid 2 bars at the house and now barely get one, sometimes. Download rate one Speedtest.net dropped down to just around 6M from 7 Mb before the update.

I'm a radio noob...if I update my radios can I still flash back to my old backups? Can I also use CM7 as well?

your ROM and your Radios are two different things. you can use any ROM you want and your radios won't change, unless there's a ROM that flashes new Radios, too.
Anyhow, I flashed mine here at work and haven't had a chance to do much, but I am getting a full signal for a change, which is rare inside this building.

All is well for me. I am on CM7, so I updated the radio, flashed a Sense ROM (Sprint Lovers) updated Profile/PRL, and restored back to CM7.
Reception seems better, but it could be my imagination. I'll need more time to tell.

See my signature for which versions this has.

From my end all is well, my Evo seems to love the new radio and pri, slightly better signal and no wakelocks whatsoever, you can see my specs in my sig...

I never get anything over 1mb on 3G on cm7 (updated & tested). I just switched to the rooted ota just to run a 3G test and hit 2mb on 3G. I'm stoked because that means my 4G might be faster but I won't get my hopes up.

[MODEMS][CM7/MIUI/ICS]Nexus S Radios KB3 and KF1 for Captivate

WOOT FRONT PAGE! http://www.xda-developers.com/android/samsung-galaxy-s-may-benefit-from-nexus-s-radio/
Alright, I just discovered something awesome.
So I found out that the Nexus S radios are indeed compatible with our device. I downloaded some of the hot radios for the Nexus S (KB3 and KF1) and opened them up and found that the Nexus S uses radios (similar to how the captivate uses modems). So I just renamed the radio.img from the Nexus S radios to modem.bin, placed it in an existing cm7 modem package and flashed it via CWM (ICS).
I reboot and get a constant 5 bars of signal. My signal hasn't dropped from this 5 bars of signal in the last 10 hours (usually it fluctuates from 5 to 3 bars). HSDPA speeds are pretty fast as well. I got speeds of 560 kb/s DL at 3 bars of signal and 140 kb/s Upload. I've never ever gotten that high speeds.
Moreover, the call quality is just amazing. When I used it, the quality is crisp and nice, almost perfect. It seems as if the voice is exemplified over the background crap so that you can actually hear the person. Idk, it was a magical experience for me .

The second row on that picture was the speeds I was getting with KF1 (Nexus S). Moreover, I noticed something interesting; that when I wasn't actually downloading or using data, the data indicator switched to "3G". However, when I started using my data, it automatically switched to "H". Something I thought was kinda cool.
Service Mode: *#*#197328640#*#* or *#*#0011#*#*
Anyways, here are the download links for the modems (already packaged with the nexus s radios of course). Just flash in CWM with a CM7, MIUI, or ICS Rom and you should be good to go. IMPORTANT: DONT FLASH THIS WHILE PLUGGED IN. YOU WILL NOT GET SIGNAL
If having problems, try wiping cache before flashing the modem!

Thanks for sharing.
How long are you running this? any effect on battery life?
Do these modems play well with Samsung-based (i897/i9000) roms? can they do the 850 band?

Works this only on ICS roms or on any CM rom ?

I tried the KB3 modem first and would not connect at all am on Rogers using THS build 16. Then tried the KF1 Modem and the Download speeds were fantastic but the Uploads speeds were terrible. The GPS was also good using KF1. I then went back to KP1 and though my Download speeds are not as fast as KF1 my upload on KP1 is amazing. KP1 also gives me very good GPS. In the picture the top to results are from KP1 and the next to were from KF1.

Usually get all my modems from this site http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html The site also has a great map that people can post how different modems work in their area.

When DL'ing them from the original thread. Do we need to worry about whether they are for specific models of the Nexus S? IDK cuz my phone is unbrickable, but I just got it set up and Don't wanna go through all of it again!

Modem's aren't gonna brick your phone, at worst you may lose signal. But they should all work fine!

however，there's no signal on my phone,running xxjvu

JVU + KF1
Extracted KF1 modem.bin + made custom zip (bmlwrite) and installed over Saurom JVU 2.3.6 using CWM. Better signal levels than original JVU modem ... with ODIN i can't install this modem directly in download mode

I am using i9000UGKG3, I've around 5mbps-10mbps up/down speed.
I am hoping this to have better signal over my current staying place.
But, it's not good.

my phone find cellular network much faster with KF1.
previously, it was about 1 munute after boot, now it boots already connected

Will the kf1 or kg3 work with with gb miui?

so far the modem is giving me clear calls just like what i had with corn with audience driver
Nice no more cracky calls

[Q] Super SLOW T-Mobile 4g Speeds

getting extremely slow dl speeds (about 10-100kbps) very high ping (in the 1000s)
terrible upload
never went over the data limit i have the 2gb plan and i barley use 400mb a month
checked the coverage map and its covered in dark green (excellent coverage)
have full signal bars. (not anymore:/)
called tmobile up and asked them whats the deal they said they will fill out a report for my area. that was about it.
flashed latest gingerbread radio still same crap speeds.
running zips creamed glacier 4.03 w/o any kernel tweaks
anyone else experiencing this shizzle?
forgot to mention my sisters sensation 4g is also getting terrible speeds too (about the same as mine) and other sisters iphone 4s
but only because its unlocked and on tmobiles edge

Switch to 2G only and run a speed test.

I got half a Mb down and up on "4g" with stock radio....

my speeds are still good but they are slower slightly. I wonder if Tmo is getting congested with the new monthly 4G plan
Sent from my HTC MyTouch 4G using XDA

There are a couple of things you can try for slow data speeds. A different radio/RIL pair may help, and you might also try the rcdata.img fix for TMO. First post in the Sensation radio/RIL thread has more info. I do not know if it is compatible with the MyTouch, we just figured it out for the Sensation. It is flashed through bootloader with a PG58IMG.zip file that contains a file named rcdata.img. There are two different versions, then you match a build.prop setting to it.

check it out

My speeds were around 4mbps when I first got '4G' but now I don't even get 1mbps. I think its stupid to be paying for something you dont get.
