[Q] Serendipity VII Infuse - 3G/H(4G)

Mike1 - Awesome ROM..Thank you.
2 Questions: Why does ROM toogle between 3G/H signal? Stock ROM connect to 4G(H).
Some download from MARKET would come up insufficient memory and fail to down load. Is there a fix? I reboot but still does not resolve.

Might want to flash a different rom. The dev for that one is jumping to a different phone. As you can see the latest version of serendipity is way over a month old. You will get better support from a dev/rom that is still fully supported.

Depending on the area your in, stock or custom, the phone will always toggle between the two. The stock rom just doesn't show it doing so. If you aren't in an area that has 4G, obviously your phone will take advantage of whatever is available.

I agree, but with GB so close, I'm sure we will get a boost in development with new roms to choose from..I wouldn't worry about an outdated rom, for now, S7 is great even if outdated. I mean its not like an Hdmi fix is gonna come till GB anyway lol

S7 Supports
WTF..I was looking forward to new update. Other ROM have alot issues.. Is there a recommenedation out there?

You're not really likely to see anything other than Hellraised I9000/Captivate ROMs until after AT&T Gingerbread drops.
So what if it hasn't been updated since initial release? It was created by Hellraising a highly refined and mature Captivate ROM. There's nowhere it really can go until we get official AT&T Gingerbread. At that point you'll likely be able to get nearly all of the benefits by flashing over another Hellraiser update.
I was originally going to try and do kernel development over UCKJ1 in order to backport some stuff to the Infuse Daily Driver series I've added to the GSII version, but it's looking like I may just return to S7 for that work. So when DD development resumes, S7 will likely be the ROM it's tested against until official AT&T GB hits.

I have run S7 off and on while trying to teach myself about ROM creation/modding, and S7 has always jumped back and forth for me in areas where I am right on the edge of good HSPA+ signal. It's fairly normal and if it's annoying you can always set your your phone to restrict to one network or the other.....but I wouldn't recommend it. I'd just be careful how much data you auto-sync if it switches a LOT as bad signal areas + background data can mean extra battery drain.

I guess since no one technically answered your questions I will.
1. Because S7 is true to what you are connected to, whether umts (3g) or hspa+ (H) and that fluctuates normally where ever you are. Stock ROM always said either H+ (at&t) or 4G (rogers) regardless of whether you were connected to "4G" or 3G.
2. It is a known bug with the new market and has nothing to do with the ROM.
S7 is in no way outdated ....it may be over a month old but that's because it works so damn good...plus Mikey has said he will do one final update when official gingerbread cones out.
Anything you would consider more up to date is using leak stuff from ucki3 or 4....which kinda sucks anyway...

About the only improvement I can think of right now for S7 would be integrating the camera library fixes into the download.
That's it... That and the TCP buffer fixes in the initramfs (which you can get just by flashing a newer kernel) are the only good things that came out of UCKI3/I4.

True....forgot about the camera files as I just pushed them myself...but it would definitely be easier if they were included..
As for the buffer fixes....you said newer kernels have it, does that include bedwa's newest one?

Quick question guys. I have the rogers infuse 4g unlocked and on another carrier that is 4g but never get 4g showing..it's always on 3g. I'm in a 4g zone so I don't know whats up. apn related? or is it because I'm unlocked and with another carrier?
Thanks for the help in advance

Not sure if its me or the ROM
I recently rooted and installed serendipity. Which I love and works great. Its been like a week...love it.
BUT i don't really normally make or receive alot of calls. I did read the part about your first call not having sound, tried the speaker toggle, all is well. While Im making calls. But I cant receive calls. lol
It makes a crazy sound then says "NO SERVICE" for several minutes. But everything else works great!
Now im not actually using AT&T im using H2O
Any help is appreciated

What modem works best for you? post here with region

Hello-
after seeing multiple questions on "what modem do I use" throughout here, I see one trend in the responses: it depends on where you live, etc....
so to make things a little easier, I would like to start a thread for people to post their modem files they're using, region, and how well it works as well as any other pertinent information. That way 2 people from the same region can save time and collaborate and people from central pennsylvania, for example, will be able to see that the KJ3 and KD1 modems both work in this area fairly well, KI3 not so well, and save other people in this area (and others) the trouble of "reinventing the wheel" trying to find the best modem file when someone in their area already has one working great.
So I'll start
Region: Central Pennsylvania, USA (york/harrisburg area)
Rom: octane v2.0 w/ gingerbread
Modem files tried: KD1 (stock, worked ok except in town for some goofy reason)
KJ3: works well, no issues so far, nice speeds, have yet to test all over the region, will update as neccessary
KI3: haven't had much luck with this one, it works but not as well as the other two from what I could find, but the difference is rather little
those are the only 3 I have tested, I do intend to test the rest of them for this region.
If you have tested modem files on your galaxy s 4g, please post what ones you used, your region, and how well they worked. Rom information would probably be useful too......hopefully this should make it easier for people as we'll hopefully have a single reference for "what works where best"....

I think this is a great idea, but I think we need to set up some sort of standard to judge the speeds. One person's "good" may be another person's "poor" and yet another man's "pretty fast". Perhaps we should use something like SpeedTest.net for both WiFi and network speeds for example. I think having a set standard to judge speeds would make this idea worth while. I think it would be great to know which modems work best and where.

Excellent idea, an agreed standard is key. I've been using speedtest.net app for mine, with about average 4mbps down and 2mbps up on 4g (with a few random odd network errors on upload test), 10+mbps down and 5mbps up on wifi. definitely better than stock ROM.

I guess this thread would be based on the best speeds and reception you ever received?
There's so many factors that determine how good a modem is that I stopped caring, lol.

Well, it really shouldn't be the best speeds, but the average. Maybe try 3 different tests on 3 different servers, throw out the high and the low, and post the middle (or post all three, whatever). That way we're not posting only the best speeds we're getting, which obviously aren't the speeds we're normally getting

Eastern PA here. Ki3 rocks for me. I spent an entire day using each modem, and test the new ones as they become available. I run multiple tests throughout the day with both speed test and wifi analyzer, so far ki3 has been top dog for me. I don't have access to my numbers right now (at work) but i have them all written down at home...

[MODEM] modem-c5a based off UCLC5 modem from NOTE

Pulled too many problems
CREATE A NANDROID BACKUP before you test my modem, this is my first modem. I created this cause I had a theory I wanted to try. And because the UCLAC4 modem blows.
***CWR flash at your own RISK***
I get more lte bars at home, but havnt tested away from home, i always get poor LTE signal at the house anyways. Ive tested this with my phone and another superlite-5.0 user.
Let me know if this helps anyone
Be a boss and just click THANKS or donate to me if you like what I Do. thx! MHX

Naw, UCLAC4 or 5, it will flash over it. If you need go back, just load your nandroid backup

So far, so good with me. I flashed it and seem to be getting better reception from where I sit. This is sort of what I went through with Gingerbread. Initially the speeds with GB were kind of crappy. Then the UCLA3 modem came out and all of a sudden my signal was way better. With the modem you provided it seems to have increased my signal. Still, some have mentioned that perhaps the algorithm that calculates signal (and by that I mean in terms of bars) has been altered. Still, I have done my share of testing with the UCALC5 modem (outside of this flash) and the speeds seemed similar even though the bars on my phone seemed to increase. I guess time will tell. All the same, great work, as usual. You really don't stop, MHX. You're a MACHINE!

2x improvement on download speed.

Thanks, gonna give it a wirl.
Works, seems to have the same reception as the note radio so I'm happy. I don't care about speed I have no lte here and the speeds are garbage to begin with.
What exactly do these extra libs help accomplish?
I have been having mms issues with ics aosp messaging. Hoping this might kick its butt in gear.

Mine seems to the the same. It's as if, no matter the modem I flash, the speeds are still the same

Had 46 Mbps down and 18 Mbps up on UCLAC4 on Rogers in Vancouver. Flashed this and got 23 Mbps down and 25 Mbps up. Reception unchanged at home. Tried to go back to UCLAC4 with my Nandroid backup and it borked. "MD5 checksum mismatch?!" Ah well.

yeah its apparently encryption setup in ics. enjoy reinstalling ur rom over again. =) and mhx you might as well take it off its causing mismatches..

Yup. Tried re-flashing this radio and it's all still borked. Non-stop FCs before I could even get to the launcher and 20-second waits in between every one. Ugh.
Starting afresh. YMMV but this destroyed the perfect setup I had on Superlite 5.0.

rogers users i repeat don't flash this if u don't have modem back up files for ics and so forth. Otherwise you're done for..

Am I the only one that can switch radios every 5 minutes if I wanted without issue? I see a lot of people having fc problems after a radio flash. Never had an issue hopping around radios.

No problems here either. Just all completely useless. The Amaze 4g was terrible though. Not even 1mb up after the first 3 or 4 tests

I have the old radio from Superlite 4.2, but that's not helping. Darkside Superwipe'd, re-flashed Superlite 5.0, won't finish booting. This ain't good, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.
Really needs to be taken down. Be careful, Rogers users!

I don't think the problem comes in flashing this radio, its restoring back to an older radio. though IDK if anyone has tried just flashing normal uclc5 or ucalc4 over this before restoring a backup.

I never saw the need to restore a nandroid after flashing a radio, I just flash another one. Never had an issue. I just went from the note radio, to this one, to our ics radio, back to this one. Not a single issue.
Either a, skip restoring, or b, Rodgers phones are picky as hell.

[Q] Best rom for service ONLY all other variables aside?

First off I apologize if there is another thread about this but all I found when searching was a general "best rom", and one related to battery life.
Personally I would like to know opinions on best rom for connectivity only. I live in a strong 4G area but whenever I am in my basement I get spotty connectivity, drop calls and such. I have been on the CM10 nightlies crack flashing since the boot-loader was unlocked. I love CM10 just wondering for basic call quality, does someone have a different rom preference for call quality?
Again mods I apologize if this is out there... but i couldn't find one for call quality. I realize this all depends on the baseband and such which Samsung is infamous for theirs. I just feel like even a slight better signal would make a big difference for me considering generally it's good connection.
Also my office is in my basement and I make a lot of calls and I'd prefer to keep it that way if possible.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

I'd actually like to know this as well. I recently switched from using an iphone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 and the difference with this phone is there are so many different roms available, I don't know which one is the best whereas with the iphone there is usually 1 main jailbreak and everything else is provided by cydia.

Like you said, this mainly is based on the radio and not on the Rom, but i agree there could be some minor differences. Your best bet would be to try a couple out and see how they work in your office. I personally am running jellywiz and my signal is rock sold and i work in low signal areas a lot.

If you search the forum there is actually a main thread for best rom overall which may help you more since it doesn't seem your only concern is call quality. Sorry I don't have the thread name but I think if you do a forum search for "best rom" you should be able to find that thread.

I actually planned on doing that and testing them out on my own, I was just hoping someone may have some tips on one they have used in areas such as a basement or a place they know they haven't always gotten good service but have found a rom that works great for them as far as call quality. Such as your example of jellywiz, I will certainly give that a try and see if I can hold a higher consistency for call quality. Thanks for your input!

There are definetly differences between ROMs relative to battery life... different versions of the same ROM can be quite different.
I've been using Jellywiz as my DD and it's been great. I really liked RLS4. I've updated to RLS5 this morning but my battery life has declined greatly. I've also gotten one reboot. I'm sure the dev will have it fixed in the next release (the Devs on the Jellywiz project are top notch).
I also liked Synergy quite a lot... It's not Jelly Bean, but the battery life was great and very stable!
The best thing you can do is try several different ones... Let the ROM settle for a good day or two before coming to any conclusions...
Good luck...

Without getting too granular, stock based roms have the best reception. Rom's where the RIL has had to be tweaked, such as CM, MIUI, JellyBean ports, and cross carrier ports are more likely to have radio issues.
Then, there are different radios you could flash. In my experience with many devices, changing radios has never had much of an impact on radio reception. Different radio versions generally fix bugs, and things like 3g/4g switching. For instance the latest stock radio for our device (VRLG7) fixes the "no SIM" bug. I am using that and it has worked great for me.
Generally though, I don't think actual reception (mostly dependent on hardware) should vary too much. Usually it's reliability that can vary. "Bars" aren't always an accurate indicator of reception either, signal strength in dBm is.

Sorry... I got lost in an unrelated thought (battery life)....
The service side appears to be pretty sold from the ROMs that I've personally tried. Not sure you'll find a big difference here in real world performance.

CodefireX is getting me the best service I've ever had. Several other people in the thread seem to be experiencing the same thing.

I have not seen the 4G indicator since flashing a week or more ago. I have tried aokp, cm10, and root66.
Not sure what to do. The phone works fine otherwise. All these are great but I would never have gone this route if I had any thought that wireless capabilities would be reduced. Any ideas on how to return to 4G would be greatly appreciated.

Out of all the 4.1 roms out there, JellyWiz's wifi/4G/3g is the most solid one. Very stable and good enough to be a DD.

What is the best Rogers modem in the GTA?

Hey fellow Canucks, I've tried at least five different modems for this badboy and haven't loved one yet. I had the most signal bars in general with UCLAC4 but found it was dropping data sometimes. Currently running UXKJ7 with AOKP R4ins Oct5, experiencing similar results. Anyone living in the GTA (Ontario) getting better results than this? Mind sharing your modem choice and maybe what build you are running? I feel like i am using extra juice that could be saved if the modem wasn't constantly struggling to achieve a connection. Any help is appreciated. HTG

Not in the GTA but on Rogers in KW. I did a comparison of UCLF6, UCLF5, UCLE2, and RUXLF3 and didn't find any statistically significant difference in ping, download or upload speed.
Mind you this was before LTE was brought to this area so I will have to retest, but my conclusion was to just go with the modem packaged in the official Rogers ICS release for the Skyrocket (RUXLF3).

Im mostly in Mississauga-Brampton-Vaughan area and use RUXLF3 from Rogers ICS, now on Orthus 4 AOKP JB with the same radio and very happy.
Well, happy to the point that there is nothing else possible to do in order of getting better reception.
No big differences between other radios really. One thing I can confirm, same as you said UCLAC4 was the best but too good to be true (back in the day whe I tested all available radios).
