KG4 wifi fix? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

i know the KG4 leak is still new to us, and a bunch of us are getting weak wifi signal vs. stock rom. But is anyone working on or found a fix for this? i really hate to go back to 2.2 because battery life on KG4 and 4g connection is way better, but with the stupid 2 gb cap/ bad reception at work building, wifi is kind of a big deal. so if any dev's can find a fix for the weak signal, many would greatly appreciate! thanks

I think the only option is to wait it out until the devs get it fully working. They've been working hard in my opinion, but it will definitely come here soon. And i just have a quick question, what are the benfits/cons of gingerbread kf2 compared to a froyo kd1? Sorry for the weak answer too. Thanks.

Can these roms be ported to the infuse?

No... Why would you even think that? It's completely different hardware.

"Different hardware" is not the whole story. Look at LinuxBozo's Galaxy ROM Hellraiser Beta9. A user managed to flash Samsung based Captivate/Vibrant ROMs (obviously, you've got to "make sure it's Samsung Gingerbread based" {-LinxBozo}).

Much of the ui can be ported. But I don't know if using the whole rom while adding infuse libs has been tried or is likely to work. I think there are just too many differences. But if you feel motivated then try it. Start pulling in libs and bins from infuse roms and make sure you have the unbrick package ready. But remember to use an infuse kernel and modem.

I actually want to try it someday. The only problem is that I'm still not too savvy on this, so I don't know anything about pushing libs and bins and everything else. Flashing the kernel and modem, I have no problem with. It's the other files I have to get together... Oh well.

Let us know how it goes. I'm running Infusedv2.2.3 right now, but I'm gonna flash Hellraiser and SensatioN later tonight... I've seen a couple of people with SensatioN, and I wanna know what the buzz is about.

That's because the Infuse hardware is much closer to the I9000/Captivate than to the GS2.

Hmm... Interesting. I tried SensatioN with Hellraiser yesterday, and I had some info on the "about phone" section (don't remember if I had it all), and that modem and tweak setup, I'm gonna have to give it a try. I'm currently in stock because, yesterday, I was feeling defiant and tried to flash a JVS ROM from the i9000 forum with Hellraiser, as opposed to a JVQ, and ended up in an eternal bootloop. I was a bit tired so I just returned to stock and went to sleep. I'm gonna see if I give it a second try today in the afternoon. And also, I don't know why, my SensatioN was lagging a bit. I should've rebooted my phone a couple of times (instead of immediately making a call after rebooting the first time) to create some stability. I might give it a second try later today. I'll let you know how it goes. (I'm feeling sooo defiant this week. I WANT to make a JVS/JVR ROM work. All the JVQ ROMs I found, weren't very appealing, or were left in the dust by the devs.) lol
I had the same problem so went to the i9000 sensation and no problems worked beautifully very nice rom
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I give up. I tried to flash a JVS ROM by flashing a stock JVS i9000 ROM, and flashing two other .zip files, then Hellraiser, but, one of them, CWM would abort every time I tried to flash it, so it got stuck in bootloop also. I'm gonna try SensatioN one more time. If I fail to make it work again, I'm going to stick to Infused. I hope someone manages to port SGSII ROMs for Infuse I really want to get my hands on one.
U and me both. Have u tried the ported dlev rom? I flashed hellraiser beta 9 on top of it. Probably my favorite rom out right now fast responsive awesome battery life. Give it a shot if u haven't already.

[MODEM][Odin + CWM] KJ3 Modem [2011-10-11]

I am not responsible if you brick your phone.
This is ONLY the modem, not a full ROM.
I take no credit for this, I only extracted the modem.bin from the KJ3 ROM leak and made it into an Odin and CWM package.
Here is the new KJ3 modem in Odin and CWM flashable form. Simply flash with Odin (in the PDA slot), or use the CWM package. Enjoy!

thanks again as always
Appreciate it. Always nice to try new modems. There have been an absurd amount of leaks recently. There has to be a final build coming soon. Maybe they just need to sell more gs2's first, haha

_______________ Edited Below_____________
Tested out the wifi a bit here between KI3 and KJ3, Here is what I got.
Using Wifi Analyzer I tested the connections in -dBm, so the higher number is best (Ex: -34 is better than -54)
I disconnected and reconnected 10 times, and took the numbers I got each time. Then Averaged them.
I am in my bedroom, and my router is in the living room, so I'm not far from it, but I'm not in the same room either (Small Apt)
Also all tests were done with the phone in the exact same spot on the corner of my desk.
Keep in mind results may vary, and these results really don't have THAT much of a difference...
KI3 averaged -69 dBm
HJ3 averaged -76 dBm
That's almost no difference, at least for me.

[Q] 2.3.6 SMS problem

i updated my phone to the official 2.3.6 last night and i tried sending a large SMS and it failed i tried again and it still failed<i changed contacts and it still failed i tried i reset the phone and I'm still having the same problem...i'm wondering if its a problem with the official 2.3.6 cause when i was using the rom for 2.3.5 i got off here i didn't have that problem does anyone else have this same problem?...any help would be appreciated
I have never been able to send large SMS. You sure the SMS you are sending now is somewhat like the ones you sent before? I think SMS have limits so maybe it could be that in KJ6 they altered it. Don't know. Just random thoughts.
There were other threads with people having this issue after upgrading to kj6. Not sure of a resolution, though.

I had the same problem with sending large texts after upgrading to the official Gingerbread release from KI3... so I ended up flashing the KI3 modem from the modems thread back to my phone and that fixed the problem.
So I'm wondering if anyone has been able to find a 2.3.6 rom that allows long texts?I've tried octane 3.0 simply simple, Valhalla final.And I 2have had 2 resort 2 putting ki3 back in order to send long Texts.I guess the sacrifice of official gb is the long texts 8(.
If anyone has encountered any solution I think it would be great our sgs4g is still on top of the android food chain lol particularly because of the devs we have and the great work they do .

Exactly correct, the long SMS and large mms issues are from kj6's modem.bin. Using ki3 or another modem fixes this.

Like tehgyb said, if you read carefully the poster said that the solution was to have a KJ6 ROM with the KI3 MODEM. It'll fix what ails you.

I want to know what is the stock installed modem name on the stock gingerbread on sgs4g?

I'd say ki3 but thats for where I live. I'd always flash it right after flashing a new rom.

KJ6 but it's crap. Don't say you weren't warned.
KG4 is more stable than the other ones I've tried. I haven't had issues with GPS or sending long SMS messages. You can go ahead and test others, but like I said, I've had the best performance with KG4

There is a modem for each ROM version (leak or official release). So when VUVKD1 was released, the modem with it had the same last three character designation. People have reported that they receive better performance in their area using certain modems over the others - it's a trial and error thing to see which is best for you.
I know when KJ6 came out a lot of people reported issues with sending long SMS messages. As FB said, he reverted to KG4 and it works better for him. Try 'em all & see which works best for you in your area.
Thanx for the info.. I will.. I just really want the one that drains battery less

Just curious did you flash a stock T989 ROM onto your skyrocket? any issues? did you use odin?
Also LTE should work with any of the skyrocket modems by default as long as the APNs are correct. There are threads and info on this in the skyrocket forums.
Yeah I flashed a few stock roms on it without Odin, using twrp and infamous wipe/superwipe and without infamous. Although when I did it without the infamous zips about 20% of the time on reboot it would hang on start up which was fine I just reboot and it was good to go. Noticed it hasn't done it since I reflashed with infamous though.
Lte did work just no hspa which is all I get in my town. So I put the stock uvmc6 radio in since 4g sits around 2-7mbs over here and that's more than enough. Heard you can get 2g,4g,lte with some blaze radio's but never cared to try. Only glitch I'd can't find a fix on JB for the screen rotation. It's all wacked out.

Oh most defiantly. There sister phones. But I've tried flashing I'd say about 4 or 5 different ones and no dice. I put an ics stock Rom and flashed a fix, worked fine. my brother which who I gave it to would rather live with vertical movies and sideways camera on JB than go with ics.
