KG4 wifi fix?

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.

Try to odin a different modem. Fbis released them all yesterday

Kg6 works great on wifi

What is the stock modem for our phone GB?

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

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

I'm using sidekick kd1.

I use kj6 with no problems. And I've never had the SMS problem so many reported.

The reason why I asked is beacause I flashed the sidekick modem and it drains battery more... so I'm looking for a stock modem that will sleep when the phone is not in use.. why are there so many modems... kd1 and all the way up to kj6? Are all of them stock modems for our phone? Are they just updates of each other?... just wanted to know more.
Thanx again guys

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 bought skyrocket what to do?

Just bought a used skyrocket only problem is the battery door got Lil scratches (already order new one on eBay for 5 bucks) but got it for a sweet 200! So people its already rooted (he said he used super one click) stock recovery and on 2.3.6 is it hard to install roms on here and any good ones?

All the roms are good and their not very hard to install. Make sure you do your fair share of reading. All the info you need are in these forums. Look at the sticky threads in each section. Good luck

Looking good!

im using skymod 5.1. uses Apex launcher and is fairly stable...thing is you never know with ROMs based on leaked code if it's the dev or just bugged ICS code.
ill i really want is an experience that's just pure Android, no UI BS...just pure. I miss my Nexus One for that exact reason.

Here's all the ROMS for skyrocket: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383464
I'm running ICS RC7.4 Speed though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377087

Yes so many ICS roms yet they ain't stable for DD right? Also feel so dumb and totally forgot the the rocket has nfc. So far reading no ics rom has that working correct? I'm assuming that one we get a official release of ICS then nfc should work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

1) nfc works
2) many people use it as a dd, no fcs or instabilities, just a few tiny bugs, that may or may not annoy (shutdown/reboot anyone?)

As well as the ROMS this "all in one location" helped me it links how to Root (different methods) one click works best for me, talks about kernals, ODIN return to stock, and much more.
As always READ READ READ. I read for about 2 months. Was rooted, downloaded an app that borked my modem. Knew exactly where to go to return to stock......

OK have to look at it ICS some more just loving alien#6 to much with faux kernel!
But anybody recommended a ICS that's pretty stable and has nfc working?

Started with NexusMod 4 and quickly went to NexusMod ICS Slim. This ROM blazes on the latest ICS leak and the developer is quick on updates and support. I personally use it as a Daily Driver with very few hiccups.

Currently on SKY ICS UCLD2 by seanzscreams.
It's pretty good but read and reread the instructions he posted when installing this ROM.
I believe the ics superlite by mhx is a simpler install.

are u using a third party program from the market to enter the apns? If so that's y. Enter them manually. Settings > more > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. Then hit menu button

I've done that I can receive mms but can't send mms. So I'm stuck on GB until then

903tex, did you download the Red Pocket configurator from the market? I thought that sets up the apn for you, maybe not w/ ICS.

Im sorry, but i dont see how this required a whole new thread, it doesnt seem like you were asking for help. Im not trying to flame but its just my opinion.
If it was help you were asking for at least give more information like
Exactly which kernels you are flashing, what ROM did you flash.
Otherwise cant you just retry the restore with MyBackupPro?

UPDATE: i'm using a rooted stock rom 2.3.7 and faux Kernel 014 Open Beta Build 2.... so far everything is cool with the 3/2012 baseband im still have problems with mybackup pro had to restart it (it didn't restore all of my messages) i cranked up the cpu to 1555MHZ for when i restore my sms but its still taking a second per message it i have over 16000 message so i'm just waiting....
Thanks for the tips!!!

If you updated your baseband you can only use cm7 rc3 and the latest nightlies or stock 2.3.4 roms (kwes, buru) any thing else you will have no call audio... what do you mean stock 2.3.7?

Delete your messages. It's not your cpu, it's the memory card transfer speed that's causing it. It can't load 16000 messages instantly...

Rooting Samsung Sgh-I896 on Rogers in canada

Hey everyone
I have been tiring to look up how to root my Samsung SGH-I896 that is on Rogers in Canada but have haven't been able to find and think that matches my phone info. I will list my firmware and other info if some can point me in the right way that would be nice.
Model = SGH-I896
Frimware = 2.3.3
Kernel version = 2..35.7-i896uxkh2-cl296008
Build number = GINGERBREAD.UXKH2
Thanks

I have the same phone and believe me it's not as easy as it is for the us users. Rogers actually takes code off the phone so that it's harder to root or unlock. I had to factory reset and use an at&t software instead of Rogers. After that everything was easy. Use one click root or anything like it

I dont recall having any issues with rooting my phone back in the day. I recall being able to use superoneclick to get the job done on stock gingerbread.
Although if you are planning on installing a rom on your phone then root isnt required. Just flash CWM and then flash a rom. The roms come with root already installed on it.

I have tried super oneclick and it hang up at step 7 but maybe iam doing something wrong. I will try again later tonight. Thanks alot guys

Download the latest SuperOneClick Root. http://www.multiupload.nl/VGCN3ZTFM8
It should work with your captivate. I used it to root mine and I did it on GB too.

Thanks guy i just got home and tried the latest version and it worked. Only thing is that when it roots it then my menus, and when i go to call some on run every slow. I un rooted it and it put everything back to normal. And ideas?

I used heimdal method front this post, was so easy I was kicking myself for not doing it earlier. I was 2.3.3 on robbers too.
PS I highly recommend cm10, i never imagined my i896 could run this fast.

I am trying to put cwm10 on it now but iam getting confused. What yo flash to it. look like everything is for i897 or has a different modem number so i don't know if i can flash it to my phone? At this point i was hoping that some that has a i896 phone on roger would post a link to the post that they used for there phone. But i may just have to try one i finded and.hope for the best.

i896 and i897 are almost identical with minor differences. You can use i897 roms on the i896 without any issue.

I have the rogers version, I've unlocked it to use Koodo as a provider and have also installed CM10 (runs beautifully!). They are the same phone, ours just does not say at&t at the top of it (Samsung instead). I never bothered with rooting, which was a waste of time anyhow... move on from Gingerbread and you wont look back, I swear!

So I'm a total newbie here... so I don't have to root to get ICS or JB on my Captivate with Rogers? How exactly? I looked at the Heimdall method, but I still don't really understand.

See TRusselo's Guide. It is up to date.

I used Superoneclick with both Froyo and Gingerbread stock Rogers versions and it rooted just fine. Just need to follow the instructions.
I think for Froyo you had to do some really stupid stuff, like plug it in and take it back out 2-3 times but other than that it always worked great.
Worked so well I even made a donation to the developer.
If it hangs on you, I would suggest reading the thread to see if somebody developed a method that works. My Froyo image wouldn't root so I read the Rogers captivate thread and somebody posted telling me how to unplug and plug it back in, worked well.

I think I might have screwed up... I installed the unzipped ROM onto my external SD rather than the zipped one... what do I do now???

Can you get into recovery?

In that recovery go to mounts and storage. Then select mount usb. Then u can copy from ur pc to ur phone.
