TERRIBLE internet speeds after flashing Cog 4.1

I've only used:
- Eclair 2.1-update1
- DG's leak of 2.2 Froyo
- DG Cognition 4.1
On my 2.2 leak I'd routinely pull 2.5Mbps-3.5Mbps but since flashing to Cog 4.1 I can barely pull 1Mbps, IF THAT.
I've tried a couple of other 850 modems I found in SGS tools but one made it worse and one was about the same.
What can I do to restore the Internet speeds that I'm used to? This is terrible.
Please help! What modem should I try? I'm in the USA/ATT and have a Cappy 1010
Note: My WiFi speeds are fine. I get 10Mbps+ and I only have a 12Mbps plan so I'm OKAY on WiFi but 3G/H sucksssssss

If you are trying to use one of the i9000 modems (JK3, JK4, JL3, etc), you need to use an i9000 kernel as well.

I've looked at the modem thread but it's hard to make heads or tails.
I know I have to match the modem with the ROM, with Cog being Cappy KB1 based I knew I needed to stick to Captivate only modems.
I'm on UCJJ4 and it still sucks. I just want to be able to pull at least 2Mbps and I'll be happy.

You can give an i9000 kernel/modem a try. You don't have to stay with the captivate stuff.
For what its worth, JK4 gives me decent results in my area. You should just keep trying different modems since location makes a difference.

What modem was the 2.2 Leak based off of?

I also experienced the slow speeds after flashing cognition 4.1. I am now using the latest speedmod kernel and the JK4 modem and I get blazing data speeds. 5mbps down and 2-3mbps up. My gps works pretty damn well too

I'd was using the speedmod kernel and JK4 as well on Cog 3.02. If I stay with Cognition 4.1, I'll definitely be going back to them, becuase this rom LAGS big time, all across the board. And just because that's not annoying enough, the pinch-zoom doesn't work in the blasted browser, either. I've loved the Cognition roms, but I'm seriously disappointed in this one.
Maybe AT&T should hire DG. God knows, he built a hell of lot better Rom from the leaked versions of Froyo than all of AT&T and Samsung's people did with official access, and unfortunately, their bad work shines through in Cognition 4.1.1.

I ended up cracking open the zip file for 4.1.1, replacing the browser.apk file with the one in Cog 3.02 - which is quite a bit smaller, by the way - then re-zipping and flashing it to my phone*. I also went ahead and loaded jk4 and Speedmod's latest. Now pinch-zoom works again, the surfing/etc., speed is much less laggy, I was able to also add the Captivate's stock sounds, and (despite the cussing) a good time was had by all.
The battery life seems remarkably good, too, despite some pretty heavy use. And that's even though I haven't yet had the chance to calibrate it or clear stats and caches. I wonder what it'll be like after a few drain-outs and charge-ups?
Guess I'll keep the rom around for a bit and see.

Switching to Cyanogen Mod

Hi guys I'm currenting running BAMF 2.0 and I'm having a lot of problems with charging and USB mounting and so I was wondering if I should switch to CM7. What problems have you guys been having with CM7? Also what kernel and radio should I flash when I run it? Thanks!

You need to use a Froyo radio (like the one in my signature). Also CM7 does have it's own issues: see the CM7 thread for more. I'm using leanKernel2.5.2+tun and it works great. Make sure to flash the kernel in recovery and not in ROM manager or Kernel Manager -- it can cause issues. Some of the charging issues I've seen with the GB Sense Leak seem to have something to do with the kernel, or so I've read in the leanKernel thread. May want to check that out before you switch.
Good luck!

I've been using CM7 as my daily driver since the newest build came out and have had very few problems. The most annoying issue is that in order to get 4g you have to turn 3g on first, then switch to 4g and it will connect, but won't show you how many bars you have. Aside from that everything is working pretty flawlessly for me. I think that it is way better than any of the sense based roms and it's definitely cool to have an AOSP rom since I upgraded from the OG DROID.

I wouldn't say I've been having zero problems, I don't have the updated baseband above (care to point me where I can find that/noob instructions?) but overall I have mixed feelings with the update - most of them are stock-android issues I think. The radios are a mess, I lose 3g regularly and have to restart, gps problems, and bluetooth is a complete disaster (as it was on sense). Other than that, I've had issues with exchange, issues with my contacts (may have been a backup problem), issues with some widgets. Generally it is MUCH faster than sense on bootup, but some games are laggy with nothing else running.
Also: Netflix!
Really looking forward to future updates, once the kinks are worked out I will be pretty happy. Very glad I'm off sense and all that VZ crap is gone.

[Q] Most stable ROM?

Hi people, how are you. I still can't find a ROM to stick with. For those who have tested many roms, which one is the most complete package? Fewest bugs and most stable?
Right now I'm on EB 2.3.3 and it's really nice, but I got a few errors (lost connectivity, txt took forever to receive). It hasn't happened since, and I hope it stays this way.
So, what are you running, and why.

Your on a good one...they all have little things wrong with them...

Depends on what u looking for, wish i could combine all, cm tweaks+froyo cam+froyo a2dp.

been on cm7 nightlies, birgertime 2.3.5, whitehawks MIUI and 2.3.3 OTA build, EagleBlood all of them, faux's from AOSP to right before he started to work on a CM7 source build, xboarder's stock tweaked...
Right now I'm on Whitehawk's 2.3.3 rom and I like it enough to stay with it, but really want kernel options and LG cam. EB froyo was super stable and still have that has my reliable (won't be near a computer to flash and play with roms) Nandroid. So I'd say stick with EB for now to be honest. That and he updates with the most stable updates IMO... infact I might be flashing back to that tonight, after thinking about it lol.

Thanks guys. Anyone have experience with the latest MIUI? I loved it on my G2, but it seems really buggy for the G2X.

I am running it with the faux latest kernel. It has been pretty stable. I like the fact that you have so many options in terms of themes and lockscreens.
I have tried many ROMS but CM7 still stand out. CM7 is solid.

Dude and I'm digging the browser in the new one, kinda like dolphin, I like how u hit back once and it actually goes back a page also u can scroll with the volume buttons lol the newest miui is nice!

I just can't run any CM7 rom given the lack of a2dp. this is such a basic and crucial functionality missing that i cannot imagine having a rom without it.

+1 , me too, forgot how much i missed and used it... i try to go to cm but i always leave based on that and hdmi out at 1080 is not working... all which of those work perfect on the 2.3.3 roms.

xboarder cm7/stock remix is the most stable i tried so far. right now im on weapon g2x which is good clean rom.

i just did the clockworkmod flash and done a full backup and was going to try a few roms without all the bloatware tmobile puts on.. but i HAVE to have a rom that is stable with wifi calling because i have 0 signal at home and wifi calling is very important to me.. in fact the stock wifi calling is kind of flaky on this g2x and would like a rom that might have this perfected a bit more.. any recomendations?
thanks

I have the same issue with no signal and needing wifi calling. without a doubt X-boarders stock tweaked is the best I have been on for stability and daily use. I havent been on the new weapon rom yet but I have been hearing good things about it. right now I am trying out faux new aosp with his OC kernel and for two days it has been solid. Only had one data drop so far. X-boarders is the way to go I think. I have been considering going back until Miui or CM7 is more solid.

EP4P is super solid, I'm shocked that GB hasn't been pushed out officially

This version is amazing and super stable. I can't imagine why it hasn't been pushed out officially...

EE4 wasn't a great modem either. Darn VIA radio.
But the GB builds have an issue with noises in phone calls that is still there in EP4P, if VZW is also seeing that in testing that could hold it up. And if they plan an ICS release for the phone Samsung might not try too hard to fix it - they obviously haven't been able to do so yet.

+1 The noise happens to me on any 2.3 rom, hopefully it's one of the issues they're trying to resolve before releasing gingerbread, though I hate to be part if the reason it's being held up

i think that something is wrong with my phone. It does not like any custom roms. It freezes and acts up often. Once i put the stock froyo or gbread it flies and works perfectly fine..... And gbread 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 were solid with no issues so far.

I think its the modem. I had my first static incall today after running the 2.3.6 leak for a week.
Never had that issue on froyo roms.

There are some problems with this build as well. It seems to mostly be with the radio, echoing what people have said here. I've had a couple times where I could no longer send/receive SMS and had to reboot (where it immediately started working again).
There's some other weird things going on with the I/O. I use PowerAmp for music and I'm getting strange skips and pauses that I never had before. Could just be my configuration, but I'm still running pretty lean.
The latest rumor is that the OTA is happening on the 29th. That and $3.49 will get you a McRib.

GB is alright. They need to fix the freeze issue that has been on quite a few GB leaks. It doesn't happen that much on EP4P but it's still there. The modems on EP3 were great in the sense that the signal was SO much better, it obtained/held 4g with such ease. Then I upgraded to the EP4 modems and i lose my 4g signal like i did on EE4 but my 3g is actually usable now. Before the 3g speeds were so TERRIBLY slow i could never dream of browsing the web on it. These speeds are reasonable and i think these modems are the best so far. They need to combine EP3 and EP4 modems to make a solid, stable 4g connection but a very fast 3g connection when it does drop down. Ontop of all that they still need to fix the ****ty voice issue on all GB versions. EE4 was great with this but the GB modems make the voice quality sound like crap.
So, all in all, even though GB is clearly no where near ready to be launched i still just want them to push it anyway because that means GB source code which means CM7 which means CM9(if we get a dev on it)

I feel as the OP feels. As far as a bad radio, I guess I'm just lucky. I haven't had issues with data loss, crackling noise, Bluetooth problems, or anything else. This phone has been darn near perfect since I got it. The only real complaint I have (which really isn't a complaint) is battery consumption. I wish it was a tad better but I manage just fine. Oh, I do wish there was more memory too. I haven't been able to play a couple games because of low memory. Battery and memory are my only real issues at this point. Still, I'm overall very happy with the Charge and would have no problem staying with it if I didn't have an upgrade available.

The modem is better than before. I'm not saying the modem is good or ready yet, but it is working better than any of the last 2 or 3 that I've tried / used.
I sure hope they don't screw up the O/S portion or give up completely because they radio is crap.

Where did you hear that bro?

This release is solid
I was sick of waiting so I flashed this ROM to my phone and I have had the same results as the op. The phone is so responsive and snappy. It is like a new phone. I used to experience numerous data drops before and now, maybe a few in the last ten days. I have not had any of the static/call issues others have had. GPS is still slow to lock. Download GPS fix from the market and run it before you use the GPS...it helps IMO.
My battery life has improved since porting this release. I am a moderate user (phone calls, text, facebook, twitter, occasional GPS) and I get an entire day from my phone (7:00 am - 11:30 pm). I am sure streaming movies and gaming would cut it down significantly but the casual user will notice a big improvement in battery life.
Again, this is just my personal experience.

I agree that the latest version is awesome.
I guess I am really lucky as I have never had the slightest problem with data, phone call quality or anything else. My phone setup the way it is runs faster & smoother than my bosses Bionic.
The ONLY thing I would change if I could would be the poor battery life, but that's a fact of life with these huge screens etc.

Entropy's cm9/ ics

Im just wondering what modem are you guys using?its not like im having issues with wifi and i dont use mms..its just like when i am down stairs the phone signal is kinda empty..haven't try other modems yet..coz i dont wanna jinx my wifi hehehe thanks!
And im wondering what other apps are you guys using with ics support ui?i mean just like youtube,skype which has a new set of ui on ics..
TIA
sent from ics4 powered infuse by entropy!thanks a lot!

I use the KL2 modem, for the simple fact my wifi keeps "resetting" with the LB3. I think though modems are really more about personal preference cause some people have issues with a modem that others don't and vice-versa. Course that's not to say there is anything wrong with mixing it up every once in a while.
