[Q] Modem swapping leaves lingering effects - Samsung Infuse 4G

Hello,
I recently flashed the uckj2 modem with red cwm but was dissatisfied with my phone dropping to 3g signals when it was idle. i didn't make a backup of my original baseband file (unless a cwm backup counts) so when i decided to flash back to the ucke3 modem, i downloaded it from the modem file in the dev forum. my problem is that the network time keeps setting itself to 7 hours ahead of pacific time--the auto update on/off trick works for a few minutes but it goes back after that. also, the data dropping to 3g problem has persisted.
flashing to uckj1 fixes the time problem but the not the 3g problem. reflashing the ucke3 modem doesn't work either. does anyone have other suggestions?
thanks from a n00b

From what I understand, numerous people have been having the same problem with the e3 modem. If you read through the modem forum, I believe some people have toggled the auto update of time on and off NUMEROUS times in a row and it fixed the problem but was temporary. That being said, I don't have a solution, just wanted to let u know you're not alone... I haven't skimmed through that forum recently, but if you do, u might find something new that helps. Sorry I couldn't help more...

did anyone with the network problem find a solution?

there were a lot of posts (including one of mine) where people complained that when data network mode was activated and they tried to answer / make a call, they couldn't. and if they did try to, it wouldn't answer and the network bars would become grey (that is, no bars) and it would take a couple of minutes for network to come back (or until you restart, whichever comes first).
anyway, i had some issues with my phone and i gave to the service center. i told them of it and they flashed the stock ROM + kernel. i had some other issues as well, so they said they'll keep the phone for two days.
so i'm getting my phone back tomorrow. now i want to know if flashing the stock firmware did in fact solve anyone's issues. if it did, i'll continue with the stock rom / kernel (please tell me which was causing you the problems). if not, i'll flash a custom ROM / kernel again. please let me know.
also, does anyone know why this happens? is some app causing these problems? because after flashing a new custom ROM (without any user apps installed) i can call / receive properly without deactivating the data network mode.
but, no user apps (and no google account sync either) = no internet traffic.
i'd request the expert devs (ROM makers, kernel developers, testers etc) to please leave their opinion as i'm not the only one who faces this issue. a few of us do and this is one of the few unsolved issues on this forum.
thank you.

ur last custom rom??? wer u using 3g turbocharger??
frankly i don't know what 3g turbocharger is :/
i was using kyrillos' ROM 8.0 (updated to 8.1) and i did run the supercharger script, but i don't think that's what you're talking about. i wasn't using the 3g network.
i've been facing this issue for a LONG time now. i've changed a few ROMs but same effect in all of them. maybe it's something to do with the european firmware (i live in mumbai, india) or something, i'm not sure. are you on vodafone? where in india do you stay?
Well even i am facing this strange network problem but only indoors!!
Outdoors the range is full!!
Since we all flash custom roms that are based on european base, i thought that the problem is related to the modem.bin AKA baseband!!
So i was thinking of just flashing the modem.bin again from any asian firmware.
But before doing that i flashed the old ddjg6 (eclair) rom just to see if baseband flashing is worth it.
Well the network problem was still there!! so the conclusion was that baseband/modem.bin flashing wont affect anything!!
stay happy!!
I cant remember if kyr8 had 3g turbocharger tweaks on build.prop.. But yes with 3g turbocharger on , I hav sum issues with data connection...

Btw did u get phone.apk force close while happenin this??
-tapatalked by RnB
phone.apk force closed often. but never because of the weird data connection. i think it just generally force closed.
and i have been facing this problem since kyrillos' 6.0 or 7.0. one of the two. can't remember. also, please look for my "a request for a custom lock screen?" thread in galaxy 3 general and let me know if you can help. thanks!
also, people who are facing such issues please leave your name and "symptoms" here.
yes i also face the same problem of network,no solutions found yet.but i am not sure whether this prob happens to all the network or just VODAFONE,as i am using VODAFONE only.
okay please visit this thread :

also, here's a bit of my network story if it helps anyone understand this issue :
i bought the phone when it was running Eclair. it worked fine for a few days then i started to face the issue. when i tried sliding the green answering thing to the right, it just wouldn't answer. it would go back in it's place. when people called me, it said it was unavailable. my network used to restart, and calls would randomly get cut and i couldn't call back immediately. i had to wait for 10-15 seconds before i could make / receive any call again. within this time, the calls would dial, but not connect.
so i upgraded to froyo (JP2) from the samsung gallery. my phone worked PERFECTLY for two months or so. no call drops, no nothing. then all of the above started happening again.
i tried flashing different ROMs, kernels etc but nothing helps.
and neo, i face this problem everywhere. indoors and outdoors.
okay so i'm getting my phone back tomorrow. does anyone have any tips for me? something that i should or should not do? like flash a european ROM or just the kernel or not to install a specific app or something?
i do have the same situation. it worked very good by me, till marcellusbe released his cm7 alpha4 i think. i installed it, and since then i have got that network problem, during calls f. example i lose the communication. i dont hear amything, it freezes, and turns back to menu after a few seconds. then i notice that its in the flight mode automatically. and this just happens me when i have got the data connections on. if i deactivate it i dont face any problems like that. i also noticed since i once installed cm7 alpha4 , i have got a strange battery drain. i charg the phone till its fully cjarged, after 3 hours i do not have any battery any more.. help me in that ... PLEASE
i really become frustated the whole time when this happens to me, pls find a solution!! ....

Well if flashing customs roms and kernels is not helping, you need to try only flashing the stock modem.bin!! I really dont know how to do that safely but people do it!! If you can update the OP like "Please help in flashing just modem.bin" then maybe someone makes and give you an update.zip or a tar containing just modem.bin.
If that too fails to solve your problem, then you must demand a replacement of the handset from samsung! Thats all i can say man!!
Well, the same is happening with me. Even i have vodafone and i live in pune, india. I didnt use eclair for alot of of time so I don't know whether it is a froyo-eclair prob.
The problem that happens with me is that, when i go to my classes (which are in a damn closed area) i dont get any signal. Even though the network bars are zero i still get messeages and phone calls. but when i call someone or message it does not reach. It only happens in some places like my classes and school, but not at my house.
I found a way (not quite conventional but works). I have found that when i flash a rom; irrespective of whether stock or custom; the signal catching is quite stong. But after a month or two it is becomes laggy again. So i flash another rom and again it's good. I dont know whether it is a correct method but works for me.

Same place!! Pune!! But i get the problem only in some areas!!!
okay so i've been using the stock firmware for two-three days now. and i've been facing absolutely no network problem as such.
when i press *#1234# here are my results :
PDA : i5801DDJP2
phone : i5801DDJP2
CSC : i5801DDJP2
build info : 2011, 04
now can someone interpret this for me? i mean tell me what exactly this means. which of those is my ROM build, my kernel build, or baseband or whatever.
tell me if there are any custom ROMs / kernels built on these builds (or updated ones, but still indian updates) so that i can test if those work for me?
thanks.

There is no custom rom build on this build as this build is lot buggy than the other european firmwares.
And that phone is the baseband responsible for the network and all!!
Some people face network problems some dont!!
Here is the phone of i5801ddjp3 firmware
http://www.mediafire.com/?34yrw4b7fe63tri
If you unzip this file, you get the modem.bin
Now there has to be a way to flash this modem.bin over custom firmwares!!
here is the sgs version of it!! This thread contains of all modem.bin of stock firmware to be flashed over custom rom to get better baseband for samsung galaxy s!
Even I used to face similar problem but only on custom rom's not on stock ones.. but using the stock rom's is too boring so now I have flashed with purungrit's rom v.1.0, kernel G3 mod 2.0, and its working fine, no network issues. The theme is good with extended power menu and 5 lockscreen.. u can try this. we can flash custom rom's based on Indian firmwares and face no network problems, problem is only with European or other countries firmwares..

But the problem is that indian firmwares are a bit inferior as compared to european firmwares.. If you compare any indian firmware with jpq or jpu you will feel the difference..
I really want someone to try that modem.bin method

Ask some of the devs that whether this method can be used n is it safe.. than we can go for it.

When signal lost, it shows symbol "stat_sys_signal_null.png" on status bar. I can't enable/disable flight mode. If I restart the phone, the signal will be restore.
is a software problem or hardware problem

Have you tried to flash another radio? Very likely a radio issue.

No, I haven't flash another radio? I tried flash many rom: 2.2.1, 2.3.3, 2.3.5... but they have same problem (lost network signal sometime)
I currently use Darky Rom v10. which radio I should flash?
somebody help me
Did u flash the LATEST radio? If yes, and its still not working, try another one. I recommend anyway, just to make sure, to do a full wipe and reinstall the custom rom.
If you can't still solve this problem, ask in the Samsung forum you will have probably more luck.
Do you think it is hardware problem
I'm afraid it's a hardware problem
it could be.. but first...you didn't answer me..
Did u try different radios? You need to make sure its not an hardware issue!
Sorry for my inconvenience. I tried to search "flash radio" but i can not found any guide thread. Did you mean flash modem? If not,can you give me link to some thread "how to flash another radio" on galaxy s i9000
Thank you so much
Copy the radio on the SDCARD and flash it trough recovery:

[Q] Service is toggling after flashing JB on i727

I have two questions 1) is my only way to fix this to go back to stock ICS using ODIN? 2) Once i get back to that, what do i do in order to get to a working version of JB? is it as simple as trying another ROM? Is it ok to skip ICS and just flash another version of JB?
Background if you want it....
Followed vincon guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1773659
Started with Stock ATT 4.0.4
CWM via odin
baseb: UCLI3
I flashed JB [ROM] [4.1.2] [UCLL3] Stock Debloat to my i727 last night. Everything went seemingly smooth, everything worked with a strange exception being my exchange account wouldn't authenticate.Today my service is off about 95% of the time, then it will come on and ill get a text or two, then it goes off. voice calls dont work at all. LTE data is hit or miss.WiFi works
In phone status under network type its toggling: UTMS:3 to HSPA:11 to HSPAP15 to no service...then it drops everything and service state will say out of service and disconnected.
My IMEI is correct, I confirmed that.
It tried dialing the *#*#XXXX#*#* thing, that just said no connection and ended.
I started to go down the path of looking to flash a new radio, but that just doesn't seem like the answer to me... obviously the risk of me being wrong is high. i did check the MD5 numbers on other radios though and they came back as mismatched, so i did nothing there.
Also i wiped cache 3 times, as well as dalvek
Is there a simple solution that Ive missed or do i need to go to stock via ODIN? What, if anything, did i do wrong>
If you didn't flash corresponding UCLL3 baseband - AFAIK intermittent service is expected.
If you need to flash baseband - flash the latest UXUMA7 baseband.
Well i've actually had the exact same problem, in several variations and on several androids and here's my conclusions:
1 Magnetic storms and grid issues with the carrier. There's not much to do about these, except maybe for a making a tin hat for your phone. But, on a second thought this would also kill the signal
2 If the issue persists for more than a couple of days then the other thing for me was = radios that just didn't work with my carrier or rom. Changing these showed instant results.
I actually had this exact problem but for me it was on the carrier end. I tried every ROM and radio out there to no avail. After about a month and my parents also experiencing the issue, we called the carrier and they had it fixed in about two weeks.

[Q] (CarbonROM) Flashed new modem firmware, signal sucks. Fix?

I was running Carbon 1.7 nightly on my VZW GS3, there was a slight issue with the ROM randomly rebooting, one of the devs(?) posted a link on G+ with a fix. An update firmware (modem/rpm/tz) from ARM should fix it, just flash and you should be good to go. I flashed it after reading several other people saying it helped and things were running smooth on their devices. I noticed that my connection was a little spotty and sometime my phone got stuck trying to turn on WiFi. I flashed my rom back to 1.7 Stable in case it was a fluke with the nightly I was on, WiFi is fixed, but I've noticed the past couple days that my 4G/LTE signal and general data speeds aren't what they used to be. I was next to my manager today at work, he had 3 bars and I was flickering between 0-1 on 4G.
Is there a fix for this? how to I got back to my old firmware? or is there a better one?
Thank you
Here is a link to the G+ post:

I don't know what/which to flash, or where to get it (trusted source/ correct modem/rpm). I'm really new at this, so I have no idea what I'm doing, when it comes to fixing things, though I seem to be good at breaking them.
go to the root wiki vzw s3 development section and check the stickies. there's a thread with all the radios and rpms

Zuk Z2 Corrupt Modem

Hi guys,
I wrote a thread over on zukfans.eu, basically I factory reset my phone on one of the stock roms and it has corrupted my modem, or destroyed my data in my CQN. The long and the short of it is that i have no service and the radio is off, i can't fix it, and no one is helping me over there so maybe someone here will know. How can i flash the modem to my phone, do i just do it in fastboot? Does anyone have a modem file? Can someone backup their CQN for me so i can see if that will fix it (instructions in the thread at zukfans.eu here)?
I've tried flashing stock roms in both QPST & MiFlash and also tried installing via twrp, no luck on any of it. I'm currently on the indian rom 2.0.111 ST with unlocked bootloader and TWRP. I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me what to do or point me in the right direction.
Cheers
it seems that there are so many people having the same problem.
My modem has been corrupted today on the original room mounted from bangggod, I had bought it 1 month ago.
As you did, I tried several other roms and also the QFIL solution without luck.
I have written a mail to zuk and to banggod asking for an explanation....
It looks like an hw problem.
Flashing modem, which one, updates?
Same here as sooooo many people. Done many things, nothing working yet. I am still hoping not hardware problem.
I see many posts about reflashing modem. Never sure which modem file to download though, and from where.
Also, not obvious to me (new at this) when I flash the ROM does it automatically flash a new modem file? Or does it see one is there and not flash it? I have tried Mokee and others, went back to locked stock 1.9 and now I am downloading official Nougat update and hoping it will flash/fix modem in process. Great phone otherwise. I am crushed.
(edit: I update to AICP instead, nice!, but still no working modem. I do get a switch to turn on radio in phone info though, but nothing. Looking like hardware indeed, but I am still hoping someone will find an answer)
