[Q] Modems Kernels and other such things - Samsung Infuse 4G

Ok whats the best most stable modem for the Infuse? Like in terms of speed, network stability and battery life. Also was wondering if flashing some kind of kernel would improve anything.

That really depends...different modems work different in different areas...have to test tthem all out to see which one is best for you

I wanna say I have tried the kk1 modem and it seemingly breaks wifi for me, is that a known issue

I've used k1 for about 3 days everything is great buy drains battery. I've found that i3 is the best all around modem IMO

Nope. Used it for 2-3 days and wifi actually works good. Everything is good, except for the battery drain. KI3 works best for me.

Really slow internet!

Using Scotts awesome cm10 ROM,
I'm getting approx. 300kb each way. I've tried both apn changes listed in the forums, but it didn't help at all. Speed test was done outside with full bars.
Should I look into flashing my modem next, or is there something else?
Thanks in advance for any support!

Bars and data are different...I can have no bars and still have data on my phone...I've had no bars and lte on my vivid...and even if you have a good data connection there are other factors that effect speed...could be a lot of traffic, maintenance on he cell towers...

I had the same problem with that ROM. I couldn't fix it and I flashed numerous modems.

Did you find an answer for this problem? I'm having the same issue and even worse, i'm getting really slow speeds (64kbps download - 240kbps upload) which is ridiculous.

CM10 Stable is here. 11/13

I'm using CM10, and so far it's been great. I've had no problems. One feature I like the most is that you can respond to texts when you're not even on the MMS app.
Almost 3 full days. Not a single sleep of death. Battery life is on par with cm9. My only issue is a slight lag when unlocking the screen (about a quarter of a second)
It's a daily driver.

I find battery usage the biggest problem, can't even manage to make a half day with 3G data connection ON.
Web usage may be limited to max of 2hours. CM9 was better for battery for me could get a day with moderate usage.
Any body facing similar problem to me ? :banghead:

CM9 did not have Google Now, turn that off and you will see a huge difference.

Network mode problems after cm10 and sim switch

I'm using an infuse 4g with JB 4.2.1 cm ROM. I unlocked my phone and put in a T-Mobile prepaid sim.
I'm supposed to have 4g consistently but I'm getting 2g(edge), 3g(umts) and on very rare occasions I get 3g(HSDPA)... Its approximately 70%-%20-%10, respectively. And these changes are all happening in the same household. No tower switching.
I only have the option to switch on 2g only in my network mode settings on cm10... APN settings are correct and all T-Mobile can say is that I won't get 4g if the tower doesn't support it..
Are there any possible solutions to obtain 4g at all?
If so, how do I keep it on all the time?
Do I need to install a new modem?
If so, which?
Any comments and/or answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Using Uckl2 at the moment. FYI.
Also, I know the modem is for WiFi but does it affect carrier data? If not what can I change to affect my data connection?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I always thought the opposite. I thought modems were only for mobile data. But does switching modems help?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Could increase or decrease your signal and rate at which data is downloaded and uploaded depending on your modem of choice. Battery life is also affected minimally (usually).
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Hmm, didn't know that... Well thanks for the lesson but have you tried switching modems?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I switched through a couple and uckl2 seems pretty stable but no change on carrier network service.. I want to put on kl3 but I can't find the download.. Not too many options for my phone though.. That I know of.

It might just be your location.

Since I changed to cm10 and switched to T-Mobile sim I have yet to have 4g. Tried where I'm at now and up to 70 miles from here... Very weird. I can't tell if its T-Mobile or the ROM.

Have you had it before on the same phone? Have you tried using another 4g phone?

Yeah I had 4g on it before, on att and on metro. Both while using stock Froyo rom and GB aeon rom.

Weird, it sounds like its the network then
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that's what I'm thinking but when I called T-Mobile, they said that they cannot diagnose a non-tmobile phone. The only info that they can give me is that they assume its my location and possibly the modem but they cannot guarantee switching modems will work. Doubt they hack phones though, Lol
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
from my recollection..not from experience:
T-mobile or networks other than AT&T will only give you: edge or 3g.
No 4g or hpsa+
to get better than 3g, you need to be on AT&T
When the phone is on "H" I ran a speed test and its pushing 5 to 7 mb download speed. Is that close to 4g?
Any advice on how to stabilize the network?

Xperia Slim not what I was expecting

Ok I have flashed nearly every gs4g Rom but this Rom really really impressed me. I thought it would look good but be clunky and slow but on the contrary it was sleek fast and beautiful. Thanks developer you have really made me consider sticking to this Rom and not Rom hop every other day. I just wanted to give the developer some more notice. Thanks again!!!!

Yes im really digging it too. Coupled with Seeder app and android tuner it runs pretty sweet. Can't wait for GPS to be smoothed out.

Thanks for letting me know about that seeder app just bought it the reviews sounded all positive. I'm definitely going to follow this Rom as it gets better the only thing I might switch too is cm 10.1 by beast once he gets the Wi-Fi working. Thanks again for letting me know about seeder!!

Just an FYI the GPS is automatically turned on but I don't think it is working right now.
I had some battery drain issues and the culprit was GPSlocation Provider according to Better Battery. Only way to correct it is to turn it off and reboot to stop it from causing a wakelock.
Only issue I have now is RILJ wakelock and PowerManagement Service.
The RILJ seems to be a JB thing.
Anyone else having small problems like this.

Power manager is code for check partial wakelocks and see which app is sucking down battery. Wow wakelock and wlan are wifi. Whenever I was on jb the maps app kept acting up and trying to turn on gps even when I wasn't running it, I used greenify to put it to sleep when I wasn't using it and that seemed to work.

Probably not, i used the latest nightly. I dont use Bluetooth so i really dont know. Mostly themed.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Can you be able to make a rom with working bluetooth it can be stock as well with ics/jb theme. I use stock with custom kernel now. Only thing I want to add to it is ics theme. I don't want to use anything from market as it takes more memory.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2
Sorry dont think i can. Have not been on stock since they updated to new baseband. And only stayed on that until i was able to reroot. Couldnt find any stock themes besides launcher themes. Theres an app called ninjamorph where u can change things but u must be real carefull. I watched and read many things on it before i used it. Most stuff i do is directly on my phone by zipping and unzipping different roms and seeing what works. Biggest problem with this phone is everyone is so concerned with ics or jb. And getting that to work would be great but until then we should create new roms with a more up to date ui. This phone is pretty quick and can do lots of cool stuff and why pay $600 for a new phone when this one still works fine. Had mine almost 2 1/2 years
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Also if im not mistaken if u roll your phone back to the previous baseband i believe bluetooth works on cm7. I could totally be wrong and i couldnt even begin to tell u how to do that
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Do you know how to roll back to old baseband? I would definitely do that because I like to use this phone and your exactly right why get different phone when we already have one that needs to have so adjustments to it.
