Sod - Samsung Infuse 4G

Well ok after all that have posted it seems we have the sod winner. The new uclb3 modem seem to have a serious bug on the wake feature.
If it helps i have run Zeus ,revelation , aeon with no SOD using
Go launcher and the uckl2 modem.

Awwwwh...I was hoping that it was just R3V that sucked. Gave people something to bash. Now I guess all we have left is the drama.
JK...Glad that seems to work for you. I was beginning to think it was something that I had done. NIce to see that maybe it wasn't. I will for sure be downgrading to kl2 next release. Been running it a few days, and although i had only seen a couple of sod myself using kl3, I have yet to have one running this modem.

Well kewl waiting for your next release nun love the work.

As Dman said it's a wake issue (he didn't go into detail) but the 1 guy using Re3elation said his wifi would drop a lot and would lose connection at work, yet complained having an Sod. I can only come to think UCLB3 modem is borked and I'm sure Samsung is stupid enough not to have found an issue with dropped wifi, data connections, less range, and horrid battery life from wake issues and frequent disconnects. UCKL2 modem ftw.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

It may be a combination of several things.
While I was using R3V I did not encounter SOD.
Neither Zeus 6 or Aeon.
I've been on Vag the longest using UCLB3 base and modem, dropping in and out of wifi, sleep etc...I did not encounter problems either.
Good battery and connection.
idk...
There may be a combination of things that brings it on...
A good test for modem itself may be running zeus 5.2 and uclb3 modem.
But I don't think you can blame the modem alone

All three have worked great for me, and I hammer my phone, thinking its a combination of things installed. No waking issues at all on any of my phones

Sg4g tripping

So i installed the leaked gm a few weeks ago but removed it when i learned of the bootloader issue and overheating issues. Now i have Bionix w/3.3uv bali. Now phone has either been fc'ing or shuts off completely or reboots. Any ideas? I may revert back to kd1 by whitehawx and see if same problem rxists. Personally i think texas heat may be culprit my battery has been 106F and greater. Appreciate any ideas. TIA

Bali is only currently out with version 3.2, must've been a posting mistake.
Anyway, do a full factory restore and see if that works.
If not, ODIN back to KD1.
If you don't want to lose your Apps or Data (contacts, bookmarks, etc) use TitaniumBackup.
You can also ODIN Gingerbread KF2, which has proven to be very stable (little to no bugs) for me and many other users.
Finally, did you ever calibrate your battery when switching FW versions? It sometimes helps.
My bad 3.2bali uv. Told yall i was half asleep typing this. Lol. I really think my battery is culprit. But i did factory reset and went to kd1 deodex then back to black ice. Same issue. Uninstalled now im tryg trigger. And i thk if i do 3.2uv again i will disable lagfix. But my phone reboots every 5mins or while even downloading roms when on black ice & 3.2. Aarrgghhh. So we shall see. So far on trigger for 2 hours and no reboots. Maybe gm bootloaders effed up my compatibility with bali 3.2uv? Thanks guys. Or maybe tegrak is culprit?

Last weekend installed Zeus v6 and I really liked it Maximum thanks.
Also Thanks qkster for helping me out. As i am very amateur user, didn't got so many problem with ZEUS v6 (I don't know is there any of them)
Some questions (installed Entropy kernel over Original Zeus infusion kernel)
1. when i start using my phone for normal calling, Temperature goes from 30 to 35 on gaming it goes to 43 is it OK?
2. Is it OK if i stay with entropy kernel of go back to Infusion GB?
Zeus has a lot of mods and tweak, that's the reason I include the infusion kernel.. never ran it with entropys kernel so idk ...plus I don't play games on my phone

Apps and widgets disappear
I just flashed Zeus 6 last night, and I absolutely love it so far.
I have an issue that I wanted to post in the development section, but I can't (not enough posts).
When I reboot the phone, some apps and widgets that I have on the different home screens disappear. Sometimes a page full of apps is copied to the next page, even over other apps or widgets. Any ideas how I can fix this? Tried reflashing, didn't help. Might just try that again, anyway.
Thanks dman, for such a great ROM. Keep up the great work!

I've had the exact same issue at times with Go Launcher EX on Zeus 6. I switched back to TW Launcher and haven't had that issue. Sucks cause I really like the look and options on Go Launcher EX. Icons kept disappearing and duplicating on mine anytime I did a reboot. Would love to see this issue fixed too.
Uninstall go and reinstall from the market. Fixed it on mine.

I'll give that a shot later. I downloaded the update after I was still having things disappear after I reflashed Zeus. Worth a try at least. Thanks!
What worked for me was enabling lag fix and a wipe*3 and reflash. Zeus 6 and r3v3l. both did this to me. Any ideas why dman? First rooms that I "had" to enable lag fix for.
You may get away just enabling lag fix. I'm just telling you what I did. I've asked dman and nun a few times but no answers.

Lagfix is always enabled by default on Zeus... so idk what you did to disable it...

Yeah, I checked that lagfix was enabled when I did my reflash and it definitely was already enabled like dman said so the icons disappearing has to be caused by something else. Probably will mess around with uninstalling and reinstalling Go Launcher EX this evening. I'll report back with the results I see over the next few days.
It should, I had the same thing.

R3velation issue

First, sorry for the new thread & odd spot. I looked for 30 minutes to see if I was duplicating a question, but the search function on this app seems to do absolutely nothing. I also can't post in dev, yet; so I hope The Collective checks this forum.
R3velation works great, and looks even better; I'm very happy I gave it a look.
That said, I have 2 issues:
1. The battery drains FAST. Sitting idle with WiFi & Bluetooth turned off, I lose 50% of the charge in 6 hours. I'm still researching how to operate things like the voltage app that came with the ROM, but if anyone has tips I'd love to hear them.
2. The main reason for this post; sometimes when the screen is off, it just won't come back on. The only thing I can find that works is to remove the battery. Any ideas what this might be!?
Thanks to The Collective for this awesome ROM!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Question 2 is a sod which they are working figuring out what is causing it. add for battery drain there is an app on the forums called better battery stats you may have to search for it on a computer to find it because i agree the search on this xda app sucks. But that app will help find the cause of the battery drain

I can send text messages but any other app that requires a data connection does not work (no network connection). Does this sound like a modem flash error? X- I downloaded the ROM from your sig.

Yes, I had tried re-flashing the original ROM I had downloaded for Experiments signature. That file might have been faulty? idk. Last night after posting about my issue and not wanting to wait another moment to enjoy this awesome ROM I did some research on XDA and found a post where Nun had a link to download R3V v2 but the file had the letter "F" at the end so I figured it to be a different file. Long story short, a little late for that huh? IT WORKED!! Thanks to the Collective, especially Experiment for this splendid ROM.
I know, right? This ROM is the nicest I've seen for Android, yet. Run R3velation OTA, and look at some of the further mods you can get for it. Under "Themes", there's one called "Mongo Toggles (blue)" by X and Mongo41. It looks VERY sweet. The light amounts of blue mixed with the beautiful toggles for the quick panel are awesome. I need to get in touch with them and ask them to make one that has purple in place of the blue. I'd never need another theme if I had that, heh.
Glad you were able to get up and running.
Did you battery life ever smooth out? There is a typically a period of three days or so where you need to wait for a rom to, "settle" before the battery will calm down. Then it should start acting much better.
The SOD issue is one that has been driven to the point of extinction. I ran R3V for a long time, and had no issues. I am now running another rom, and I am having issues. It's all what your phone likes and doesn't like I think. Good luck figuring it out man.

Thanks for the heads up. I just put the KL2 on the phone, we'll see how that does me.
Maybe it's my imagination, but this modem seems awesome. Battery life seems to have tripled, and I'm not dropping calls at the dead spots in town. What all does the modem cover, just phone & AT&T data? It doesn't handle Bluetooth or WiFi, does it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
As far as I understand, a modem is only responsible for pulling the voice and data connections from your provider. The best explanation I've found on it is from this thread here:http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22913686&postcount=1
That's what I thought (I had originally misunderstood, and thought there was a modem for voice, for data, for WiFi, for Bluetooth...found out a couple weeks ago that was wrong).
Anyway, that KL2 modem is great. I've only lost 13% of my battery in the last 9 hours with WiFi, Data, GPS, and auto-rotation all turned on. This is as opposed to 50% in 8 hours with WiFi only turned on. (Idling both times, as I was asleep.) It also seems to not be affected by the same dead spots the other modem had, as I didn't drop calls while driving past them like I used to.

[cwm][modem]kd1/kj2 port from sidekick 4G

This is a modem from the Sidekick 4G. It has the same radio as our phone so it is safe to use. I have been using it for the last day and have experienced better performance, more signal stability, and less reboots.
Current known issues: none
Current known fixes: fixes text send error for messages larger than 160 characters
Fixes wifi speed issues in some Roms
Reported better signal for some people
Flash instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Flashing_a_modem
This is experimental. I am not responsible if you break your phone, etc. If it doesn't work for you, it's not hard to flash back to our modem. This will not brick your phone unless you do something stupid. I am not here to teach you how to flash. Read the wiki.
There are two modems here, KJ2 and KD1. Try them both and see what works best for you. KD1 worked better for me. KJ2 was finicky with data.
I hope this helps!!!

Kj2 Seems fine. Definitely more stable connection, and ping response times on speed test are way better, averaging around 60ms. GPS works, play store works, correct time is shown, etc etc. Will continue to test and keep posted on the reboot issue.

Guys, just a tip.
Flashing modems through cwm is "DANGEROUS".
Suppose you have t959v kj6 modem, and you have wifi on, and then you flash t839ukv kj2.
You may go into a soft bootloop. (Turn on, 15 seconds later, soft reboot, turn on...etc)
This is solvable by reflashing your old modem.
In order to avoid this error TURN "OFF" WiFi BEFORE FLASHING.

Turning on and off isn't the problem. Once you are on the new modem for more than 5 minutes, there is no problem.

Random Signal Drops?

I get random signal drops on the stock T-Mobile 2.3.4 rom. I have updated to the March Baseband using the LG updater tool. I just got this phone 2 days ago and I was wondering if there are any fixes for this?
Sometimes I jump from 4g > 2g.
Sometimes I jump from 4 bars > No signal.
These both happen even if I'm not moving.

See if you can bring yourself back to the July baseband. You may have to go without 2.3.4, but you could get yourself a better functioning phone instead. Lol.
Once on that, maybe try a stock 2.3.3, OR a custom rom.
I'd suggest flashing cwm and trying qwes 2.3.4 .. then use titanium backup to freeze the bloat or remove it. Prolly wont help, but its worth a shot before downgrading the BB.
I had hella issues with 2.3.3 which led me to xboarders modified stock without bloat and most of my issues went away...
Then I went to cm7 and had no issues at all. (Unfortunately the new bb doesn't work with cm yet)

The only time I have had that issue was with arcee's selfkangs of ics/CM9. But once I switched to aokp, I didn't have any issues with signal dropping.
This phone was a **** show for T-Mobile and LG. To be honest with you, the phone functions way better with custom roms. Cm7 with faux kernel (stock voltage) and I didn't have an issue.
The quality control on these phones was prolly crap. You may have to play the mix and match game with roms and kernels.

Try Hellfire Phoenix.
I know you said you don't want to do custom ROMs, and I'm guessing you'd rather avoid rooting (since you said it wasn't currently rooted), but honestly...you're not going to have a good experience w/your G2X unless you do.
I bought my G2X, when they first came out, and haven't been happy with any of the Tmo/LG updates/releases. Including the 2.3.4. I have noticed better GPS lock w/the 2.3.4 release, but I'm also getting random signal drops, and having issues with wifi calling...even on kwes ROM. (I should mention that kwes 2.3.4 is far more stable than the LG release)
The best experience I had, was with WeaponG2X (2.3.3/July bb). It was stable as hell, and had lots of nice extras. I may end up going back to that. However, I have also noticed, through my years w/Tmo, that I will get signal drops off and on for awhile, then they stop. So, it could be that Tmo is messing with their towers or equipment, and it's not actually our phones. If my issues persist, I may give up the better GPS lock, and go back to Weapon & the older bb. For now, I'm going to wait it out a bit.
Good luck w/your G2X.

I bought my G2X, when they first came out, and haven't been happy with any of the Tmo/LG updates/releases. Including the 2.3.4. I have noticed better GPS lock w/the 2.3.4 release, but I'm also getting random signal drops, and having issues with wifi calling...even on kwes ROM. (I should mention that kwes 2.3.4 is far more stable than the LG release)
The best experience I had, was with WeaponG2X (2.3.3/July bb). It was stable as hell, and had lots of nice extras. I may end up going back to that. However, I have also noticed, through my years w/Tmo, that I will get signal drops off and on for awhile, then they stop. So, it could be that Tmo is messing with their towers or equipment, and it's not actually our phones. If my issues persist, I may give up the better GPS lock, and go back to Weapon & the older bb. For now, I'm going to wait it out a bit.
Good luck w/your G2X.

Well, I really don't want to flash any custom roms unless it's ICS. I have AOKP on my Hp Touchpad and I love it; however, on all ICS builds the camera isn't working (namely AOKP, which is the rom of my choice). Since the camera isn't working on CM9/ICS builds I won't flash them since I use the camera regularly.
Now about CWM, I just flashed using NVFlash the experimental touchscreen version and I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick. I'm now in the process of removing tmobile bloatware (ex. WIFI Calling, Mobile apps, etc).
Anyway, I'll report back with the results.

The only time I have had that issue was with arcee's selfkangs of ics/CM9. But once I switched to aokp, I didn't have any issues with signal dropping.
This phone was a **** show for T-Mobile and LG. To be honest with you, the phone functions way better with custom roms. Cm7 with faux kernel (stock voltage) and I didn't have an issue.
The quality control on these phones was prolly crap. You may have to play the mix and match game with roms and kernels.

What's your battery life like on AOKP?

Don't think so.
Does this happen while on wifi?
Does it actually prevent you from using the phone.?

Yes this does happen to me on WIFI, the service drops out and I'll miss important phone calls. It does not however prevent me from using the phone
What bloatware can I uninstall without any worries, so far I've only froze them all.

I just got this phone.. I'm not made of money.
The July baseband did the samething as well. That's why I even upgraded the baseband, to see if it'll fix the issue. I'll root and remove the bloatware myself. I don't want to install a custom rom yet.. Is this an issue with all G2Xs?

Post your results. In my experience this is as clean a phone can get.

What's your battery life like on aokp

I leave for work about 130 and when I get off at 11 I would have about 60 to 65% battery left. On breaks and lunch I use the piss outta the phone.
With 2.3.3 I would get about 7 hours and it would die..
With 2.3.4 I have about 50% left at the end of work.
I can't wait till the new baseband is compadible with aokp, I've got really high expections for the battery life.
With cm9 kangs (i hate to even call aokp a kang, but it is in the name) the free app videocam illusion ( I think that's the name) allows video recording but the quality isn't best, but it works. The native camera apps will take pics, but forces closes on video.
Id run aokp see how that does. Then if its all good, try fauxs kernals. Keep in mind before flashing a kernal, backup ur rom. Just in case fauxs kernal has issue.. ( I can run faux kernals with stock voltage, when I do the undervolt, I have issues... some phones can handle it, others can't).
Hope my rambling helps.

Deleting bloatware on stock kernal didn't help, so I switched to AOKP. So now I'm testing that out to see if I still get the random signal drops. If a custom rom doesn't help I'm going to try a new SIM card, maybe the one I'm using sucks.

You convinced me, I gave in to AOKP. And it's freaking awesome, on par with my hp touchpad. I don't care about video recording, I just really wanted to keep the awesome pictures this phone takes and I did.
What's the benefit of fauxs kernal?

Are you on March 2012 baseband? And no call audio issues?

From my experience, faux kernals make the phone a bit quicker. Also with his kernals, when my phones asleep, (screen off) battery life is majorly improved.
