So its my frist time flashing a captivate and every thing went fine thanks to the video i watched it was a little harder than than flashing mt old att tilt. I put on cog.4.3 and it seems alot faster than stock 2.2. There is only one problem on the task bar on top it show i no longer have g3 it just shows a H any insight on this would be great. Thanks

H is faster than 3g. Enjoy! The modems unlock what your carrier blocks
A simple search would have told you this as well

yes h is hspa(high speed packet assist), well on cog i think it is hsdpa(download only) while upload is 3g, that is an att limitation for the captivate, if you use a non att kernel and modem you will gain full hspa but will loose bluetooth calling and posibly some loss in call volume or quality.
if you use a ported rom modem and kernel from one of the many other galaxy s phones(i9000/m,t959/d,i9010armani,i9088 or a combination of those) like most are roms are you will have full hspa and bluetooth calling and on some roms bluetooth voice commands. and you will have a slight performance advantage if it is a 2.2.1 rom but may loose some call quality depending on specific combination and modifications.
Have yet to try my bluetooth headphones i unfortunately i left them at work but having working Bluetooth is a must cause i use it to listen to music all day at work will ill have to check that out when i get there

I've been having an annoying problem lately. I'm running theory of ginger 4.2 and lately my 4G connection will just drop out and it won't reconnect for 5+ minutes. If I manually disable and reenable the connection it immediately grabs 4G back. It will stay steady for maybe 40 minutes and then drop out. This has happened on the MR2 and MR2.5 radios. Suggestions?

Mine does this routinely on a stock phone. Dunno if it's the network or the phone.
Dont know if this phone/network was ready for primetime
Mine just started doing this a few days ago.

So I flashed to CM7 on a froyo radio and I'm still having connection issues. How hard is it to get a replacement sim card? I think that might be the culprit honestly.

just call Verizon or go to a store.
Should I take cm7 off or just don't show them my phone.

i doubt it's the sim cards doing this... it's for sure the radio's. the mr1 radio on froyo drops my 3g to 1x alot, so did mr2 but mr2.5 was perfect for me. i just want a functional radio to ship this week.
It just started a few days ago, and a friend of mine with the thunderbolt isn't having the issues I'm having.

Mine started doing that last week while on Gingeritis final. I flashed all kinds of roms & radios (including Froyo) with no improvement. I even went to verizon & swapped sim cards, and still no better. I went back to bone stock and finally got reliable 4G again. Very frustrating
I've been having this issue for a couple of weeks at home but at work the LTE connection is rock solid. I think it's the network where I'm at. I went back to an old Froyo build and radio set and it was the same issue. I've tried every radio combo both GB and Froyo ROM's and it behaves the same way. At work no issue...at home I have to switch to wifi. It'll show LTE with bars (sometimes full 4...usually 3) and I will have activity on the up/down arrows and it'll work for a minute and then stop working until finally the LTE icon goes away and it goes to 1x (or even sometimes 3G and I'm in LTE mode.)
Its looking more and more like a network problem. Might as well save myself a trip to the Verizon store. Oh well, not that big of a deal I guess. Stand in line for 40 minutes for them to tell me they can't help.

Mine does this but I'm on the edge of the 4G signal where I live. I just lock in 3G and don't worry about it. When I get in an area I need to use some speed I turn 4G back on.
Hey guys,
I got the Galaxy S 4g, only issue is I have HORRIBLE 4g speeds at home and take forever to load! I recently updated to the Gingerbread 2.3.3 and it made it worst!
(Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 Deodexed + Root KF2)
Was wondering if their was a toggle where i can disable 4G and enable 3G?
on the market seems its for other phones?
Thanks!!
i honestly dont know 100% if you can toggle between them, but i'm pretty sure you can't. are you sure you're on 4g to begin with? you can try to take out your battery and leave it out for a minute and then restart the phone. i had a problem where it wouldnt connect and that fixed it for me. if that doesnt work for you, try flashing a new modem. if you're at home, just try connecting to wifi; it may just be your area.
Actually, I do sign in thru wifi but it still seems to lag and im on FiOS and it shouldnt lol
So u say flash my modem? is that reflashing with odin a new software? im learning as I go with all this and im running gingerbread 2.3.3
Oo. Hmm. I'm not sure if flashing a modem works on ginger bread. Check out the bible thread and look for the modem link. May have your answer there.

Widgetsoid toggle widgets has a feature that lets you enable/disable 4g but I have never used it so cannot make a claim as to whether it works or not.

Thanks ill look into it
Hey guys I just recently got a samsung t959v as a replacement to my nexus one that got its screen cracked. So far I am loving the phone and had no problems with it. I recently updated it using the Kies mini software and updated the phone to 2.3.6. After updating, I rooted the phone using superoneclick and everything worked out perfectly. The only thing I have noticed is that my signal bars are now always empty. I have the 4G symbol on green, however the bars next to it have not turned green at all. I am signed in to google talk so I know it is not the grey/green signal issue. Before updating and rooting I always had FULL 4G signal here throughout my apartment and throughout the city. Anyone know what the problem could be? Everything seems to be working fine using the network however it is just a little annoying not knowing how strong the signal really is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I also installed setcpu and changed some of the settings, not sure if that has anything to do with this issue....
4g and"the bars" are two different signals. Cell it's used for calls when not connect to wifi and for SMS. 4g is your data: internet,g talk, market, and most everything else. if your not experiencing issues I wouldn't worry about it. Set ovum doesn't have anything to do with this but here we have found tegrak paid to be more stable for oc/uv.

that is a UI bug with the stock firmware.
Don't worry.
Flash AOSP style. It will remind you of the N1!
Leave your battery out for 10min and try again
DON'T FORGET TO THANK!!!

hey there I/'m living in St. Kitts in the Caribbean.
LIME the network provider upgraded from EDGE to 4g on Friday, but I realise since then my phone is only showing H (3G) and not H+(4G).
i am wondering if this has anything to do with the rom i'm currently running (trickdroid) or not?
I was in the city centre friday night where they had the launch and pretty close to the cell tower so I know distance isn't the issue
Thanks for the help in advance
Most roms don't display the +. Its purely cosmetic. Only roms I know that display it are based on the inspire 3.20 version.
Again its purely cosmetic and does not effect speed. Heck the phone is only capable of 14mbs Max. I would say 3.5 g Max
Thanks for the response I was just wondering. Makes sense with what you are saying. And I just realise something I tried another Rom, it wasn't even loading so had to restor this on and realised that while booting up it went from E to 3G to H. But I don't think I'm getting even 2 mb from this will take a screen shot and post to you.thx again for the response.

Depending on what ROM you're using, I've found Speedtest to be somewhat unreliable for whatever reason. For example, I'm running Sabsa Prime 7.0. When I do a test on wifi, I get 15+mbps down and around 4mbps up with 30 ping. When I run it on 4g, I get 7kbps down and 2mbps up with 150 ping. Obviously my actual 4g speeds are not 7kbps. On ARHD with the same radio the test showed 6-8mbps down and 3.5mbps up with 70 ping.
In summary, unless you feel that your real use speed is really that slow, forget what Speedtest says.
Ok cool got you.
But I can tell it's really slow as well. I will try one of those other rims cause this one iy takes a while to switch to programs etc. And I don't have a lot running in the background. The only thing I've realise though is that I've not yet learned how to bring over my settings ( WiFi and apn etc even my contacts ) when going from one Rom.to the the next.

Actually...
If you edit your build.prop, faster speeds can be obtained.
Also H+ is 4G, but its not like LTE speeds or anywhere close. It is more like a couple mbs above 3G.
Speedtest is fine. Your data icon will sometimes lie to you. No joke. It'll say H+, but in reality it is 3G. All depends on your signal strength.
- hit my thanks button if i helped you -
Thanks, how do I edit my build?
I am not sure what's going on it is.very slow and I am wondering if the Rom is the problem wondering if I should go back to the original 4g Rom that came with the phone

You'll need an app like "Root Explorer". Through the app you navigate to "/system" and long press the "build.prop" and edit. You may encounter an error message with something like "file is in read-only" which then you will have to change the settings to "write only" or something like that to edit which can be done in the explorer app. Once you get that far you can edit the build.prop to your liking. For settings that people have found useful search the forums.

If you're syncing to Google, your wifi passwords, contacts, even wallpaper will automatically restore when logging back into Google after switching ROMs.
Thanks I realise the apps came back bit not sure the WiFi passwords did. I'm really trying to find a Rom for Inspire 4g that

Would anyone be willing to explain exactly what the modem zips control? I'm not sure what the right file for me would be. I am looking for good 4G and Wi-Fi reception. KJ6 doesn't send MMS for me and LB6 has crappy speed on data. I'm using KB5 at the moment with OK results.

The modem primarily controls the functions of the phone that use the carrier's network. At a high level, that includes registration, cell handoff, voice calls, carrier data, and sending and receiving SMS and the "header" for MMS. It will impact the audio chain for voice calls, "taking it over" for the duration of the call.
The primary control of WiFi is in the kernel, drivers, and Android framework.

Thanks. It was hard to find that info.

I do fine the modem seems to have different effects on GPS, but maybe it's more related to the A-GPS data or how well or fast it can receive it from the carrier.
Is there a modem that anyone can recommend for use?

Not knowing where you use the phone primarly is hard to determine. The best idea would be test them all out. Plus you might get crappy results with one and somebody else in your area gets super results. A lot of this depends on how good the internals are. My phone gets crap results on kj6 but a friends phone is fine.
