There hasnt been any mention of this that I'm aware of other than the "end of the month" post on twitter.

I guarantee there will be a dump posted in development for you to flash before you get the ota.
Sent from my Infuse. It is what it isn't.

True. It will probably be flashable before it becomes ready. Any mention of anything so far?

def nothing yet. ive been hittin up the davis att store here in norcal everyday. and checking nearly every single blog and site i can find almost hourly. rofl. if its out trust me this site will be first to have it.
that said i feel it will be out sometime around the 28-29th. just seems if they said end of the month its safe to estimate the very last day.

Who cares, it will be out when it's out?.... Plus you can flash i9000 roms now....

If I want the most stable way of this update how would I go about it? I'm running just the rooted stock rom with infusion kernel. I'd like to remain as stock and stable as possible with just the addition of the kernel.

You might need to flash back completely to stock so you can get the update. If Not, im sure someone will have it to flash before it even gets totally released. You know how these leaks go.

i am wondering as kies does not work with infuse how can one manually update?
for ex. htc provided ota as well as through htc sync(manual update)

Pretty much only matters for those that want to crack 7.2 Mbps (I won't see this in my area for years so I don't mind) and use the HDMI output feature.

I hit 11.4 mbps down and 1.2 up a few times today. My phone runs on hsdpa. Im not sure if the gingerbread update would do anything to benefit that even more but i am running minimum of 5 down since activating the infuse from my wife yesterday and giving her my iphone 4.

which rom you are using?
stock froyo or infused?
i could not get the line"since activating".

I use stock that came with it. Froyo 2.2

not everybody is getting good speed with rogers based gingerbread.
One can expect good speed on gingerbread with ATT based firmware.

When i had the inspire and then the atrix, the highest i would get was 4 down and 1 up. I read that the infuse was set to run at a higher max speed and as soon as my wife swapped with me, i tested the theory and apparently it was true. I hope gingerbread gives more anyway though.

skype
correct me if I'm wrong, but the front camera will work in skype with the 2.3 upgrade?
So speed, better battery life - what are some other pluses to the upgrade can we look for (infuse-wise)?

true.
the modded skype works with infused(tested to limited extent)
rest is also true.

If I do the OTA update will I lose root completely? Or anything at all? Never done OTA

Then you will likely not see any data speed improvements when AT&T Gingerbread comes out. You also have working HDMI.
The issue is that all of our current Gingerbread ROMs are based on Rogers firmware - they don't achieve HSPA+ speeds and are missing HDMI.

Most likely yes - but it'll be a matter of days before rooted system images and kernels that inject root become available.

Starting to worry it wont be this month

[MODEM][ODIN] EP3HA Modems

For anyone who wants to flash just the EP3HA Modems only. All radios are independent of rom version.
I take no credit for this as it was simply pulled from the most recent leak. Flash at your own risk! If you need to be explained how to do it you most likely shouldn't!

Just flashed, haven't noticed much of a difference yet but I also don't have 4G in my area.

GPS?
When I flashed *just* the kernel with ep1w rom & modem I lost the ability to get a lock with GPS. even after rebooting a few times.
Have you guys tried the GPS/Google Maps since updating the modem?

Seems to work ok for me. Inside my house and get 20 meters accuracy after about 15 to 30 secs.

Download link seems broken.

Seems like download speeds are faster and link is down
Sent from my Glitched MIUI Fascinate

It seems the link here was pulled from a thread I posted on a forum elsewhere - I was doing some file reorganization and in doing so it made the link in the OP no good - my bad.

I've been using this since last night, and honestly this is the best modem I've used. I'm not getting more bars, but it holds on to the actual data signal itself loads better, plus I notice that I'm getting a data connection when I have very little signal. LTE seems to be a bit snappier as well, but maybe thats just a placebo effect.
The biggest difference I've noticed however, is battery life. When using Spotify, browsing the web, and other apps that use data, the battery doesnt drain as fast. I think overall having the data connection enabled doesnt drain as fast as previous modems.
It'd be interesting to know if anyone else has had similar improvements.

With data on: Try loading maps, then press menu, then select sign in. This gave me a pop up and it worked for me. Accurate to <10 meters.

Ok, so I have Humble 4.0 which I believe comes with EP1W modem, which I believe contributes to the buzzing noise during phone calls.
Does this modem flash fix the buzzing problem?

so far so good on this new radio..no call issues yet that I can attribute to the modems

Flashed the modem/radio last night. Didn't really notice a significant improvement over EP1W. I have yet to make any voice calls with it. I'll drive around today and see if it picks up a stronger 4G signal anywhere. I normally have 3 bars of 4G at my house.

Been using the new modems for the last two days and I can honestly say these are the best we've seen so far...consistent 4g, increased data speeds, and as of now no crazy static during calls as we've seen on the other gingerbread builds. I'm loving it!

Confused about leaked GB on Infuse

From what I've seen with various ROM's -- it seems that the leaked GB on the infuse is garbage with data speeds; you need to pick a compromise between no MMS, lossy data or crappy speeds.
I'm not sure if I understand this right, with the whole APN settings, but I find this incredibly debilitating; I can't really use CM7 or Dlev if I have to give up a vital data feature!
Please clarify this, sorry I'm new from the Inspire

no the Rogers rom has crappy data on att but most att customers wont get very good data anyway. the leaks have about the same data as froyo. and miui and cm7 and the more recent custom kernels get decent speed by using initramfs mods that copy some of what is in the initramfs in the leaks.
in fact the fastest data I have recorded was 10.35mbps or so (close to my cable ISP and faster upload btw) and that was with one of the leaked Roms. the gb=slow data is not really true anymore.

Real odd, I just flashed CM7 and got really lossy data, at times it would just crap out and disappear, yet with stock I get data connection and it sticks. Any reason/fix? I really want to use CM7.

yeah data can be weird. try alternate modem.bin files. there have been new modems with each leak and one may work better than another for your area. but it is possible that for some strange reason your phone and area might just agree with the froyo kernel better. also its possible that miui doesn't have the kernel update that helps data since the thread was closed but if I remember right the changes were there before then. you might want to try flashing the kernel from cm7 just to test things.
there are 2 threads with a collection of modem files in the dev section I hope you find a combo that works for you.

So you suggest I just try different modems until I find one that works? Fun fun!

If you go into the market in CM7 you will lose the data but toggling airplane mode will bring it back.
if you use the one apn trick you should be good. i have no data issues with CM7
Im currently on a call and i took a speed test and im getting .83 down and .43 up. thats on a call.

Big dog Infuse I997 GB KJ4

its like... they want **** to work magically but don't want to work for that **** to work magically...
i for one found every modem i flashed works fine for me.

Jeez guys calm down, it was a simple question.
Doesn't the one APN trick throttle data speed?

I haven't seen my data go down in speed.

Awesome, so with CM7 the only data problem you've found was it dropping at times with the market, but that can be solved by toggling airplane and then turning it off?

works great!! Thanks

Did a search, still not 100% clear

Im rooted and I am about to flash a new kernel, Im not going to do any romming yet since the ICS update should be coming by the end of the month (should be). I was just wondering what is the best modem/radio for the skyrocket. I currently have UCLA3 and I live in Grand rapids, MI. I dont believe we get LTE here, but I am usually on 4G. I searched but couldnt really find anything solid. Thanks!

You already have latest GB radio UCLA3.

I like the ucle2 radio on all roms. My favorite combo is nexus mod gb 4.3 with that radio and the faux kernel.
But everyone has different results in different geographic locations, it seems. Ucla3 is known to be a very good radio in most areas.
I don't have lte in my area either...

Yeah.. I wouldn't count on it coming out anytime soon... AT&T being AT&T and all. That bloatware doesn't install itself.
That being said, I travel around the midwest a fair bit and have found UCLE2 to work quite well.

I would stick with UCLA3. It has awesome battery life. There are plenty of awesome roms built around this too. I liked Stock Mod 2. With the faux kernel of course.

Might as well try a ROM, it was the radio change that made my Kies say "this device is not supported" . After I flashed the original ROM and kernel, it wasn't until I flashed the radios back, then it said" this is the latest firmware"

If you're already rooted and flashing kernels why not just flash a rom? I highly doubt the ics update gonna come by the end of the month but even if it does you'll probably end up trying a few different iterations of it from the different devs here... It's kinda like a new phone everytime you flash...lol Especially since cm9, aokp and aosp are kinda close to being ready as well...

knowing me Ill end up flashing a ROM lol, thanks for all the info everyone!

Which radio gave you improvement?

Would like to know about the different radios avail for this phone as i would like to flash to see if i notice an improvement. what were your results?

It's kinda hit or miss. I flashed the HD radio and don't really notice any difference... but that's just me. You gotta try them yourself to see which works.

I've tried three radios from rootzwiki and haven't noticed a difference with either one of them. Im currently running the HD one
Tap'n

Same here. Have to try them all. Not much difference on 4G although I did pick up a couple dBm on HD. May see biggest difference in 3G depending on how old the tower is. 4G towers are newer upgrades so most are pretty much the same on either band.

I could not make a call in my shop with all of the radios except for the HD one. A clear standout for me. (Boston area if that helps)

i notice that the HD modem is slightly better aswell... and i also notice slightly more battery use aswell. Not 100% if its modem related tho...how is your battery life with it?

Seams the same. Though I just switched to lean kernel and am noticing an improvement.

Comparing four s3's from three different radios, all the exact same no matter where I take them in my area.

I feel like my battery is crap but that may be because of aokp. But the HD modem is nice.

I have been running the HD with both JB and ICS ROMs and have alway had good signal in both 3g and LTE.

I have tried them all as well. What I have noticed is this, the G7 radio worked better for me after my phone was updated to the G7 base. I tried flashing just the radio and it didn't make a difference at all. I then read Dev Scott C.'s take on how these radios depended on part of the software in the base for them to work properly. No mixing and matching, use the radio to match the base that you are on. I can only say that he is correct with the testing that I did on my phone. Try it for yourself and see, I am curious to see how many just swapped radios and stayed on the same base.

I'm prone to agree with this.
I noticed a nice improvement when I went from G1 to G7 with both Baseband and Build Version. But when I only updated the Baseband from G7 to HD and not the Build Version, I didn't really see any improvement in performance out of my device.

In my experience G7 gave better 3/4G speeds but HD gave me much better batterylife. The G7 had my battery discharging like mad.

I just flashed HD with CWM and went from -90 to -78 on 3g. I don't have 4g in my area, so I can't give updates on that. I'm on CODENAMEandroid 3.6.0.

In my case, one phone is still on G1, the other two took the update to G7 (no flashing, just complete ota). My phone is on HD, but as I said earlier, side by side they are all identical - that's traveling all over Utah and southern Nevada. That doesn't necessarily mean the same thing for any other area - also I did not compare battery life (too many variables) so I have no idea there.
Overall though, it doesn't hurt to try a new radio if you are not sure.

Hd radio and haven't experienced any drops of radio since. 3 days uptime.
