I come from the g1 and from what i know about that the radio is what controls data/voice/etc. I see a lot on the vibrant about different modems, are these equivalent to what the g1 radio was?
my concern here is that after switching to eugenes froyo i kept losing a data connection and had to toggle airplane mode which is a known issue with the rom. well i got tired of losing a data connection so i switched to a bionix rom and my data issue is still there but from what ive read about the bionix rom i dont see other people having the issue.
do i just need to try yet another modem file? the one from eugenes rom and the bionix rom differ already as far as i know.

Yes Modem=Radio here. I came from an N1 and I'm use to flashing the "radio" as well. You can flash the JI6 modem which most people say has the best data speeds and connection. If that doesn't work well try the JI2 modem.

hrm oddly enough i searched and found eugenes thread with the odin flashable modem files. i tried them but with the same results. the last one i flashed my rom started acting weird and a reboot didnt fix it. i wiped and reflashed bionix fusion and it seemed to fix the data issues. i dont know why that fixed the data connection as i already tried that modem but i like the results

I recently switched my daily driver from Axura 2.1 to Nero v1.
Prior to flashing Nero I odin'd back to stock.
I've since noticed that my 3g connection is sporadic at best, with my phone spending the majority of its time on GPRS (G icon).
While troubleshooting I've flashed the JK6 Modem back over Nero, and have noticed the same behavior.
This behavior is also evident after flashing back to stock via odin.
The question is:
Given that this problem is visible in Nero and after flashing stock via odin, is there any possibility that this is a software based problem?
If anybody has encountered similar behavior, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
(Always good to have the ducks in a row before complaining to T-Mobes)
Final Bump
Yeah... i'm too ... anybody know how to solve this ??? i cannot use 3G anymore...(
i've noticed the same thing! its great to finally see some posts about it cause i've been wondering! I flashed all different modems, and still no luck after flashing nero 1.
Did you flash the stock modem/kernal back as well?

Long Story short I would have to walk down the block to use my phone at work. Wifi calling is a necessity. When I got my phone it was already flashed to a ROM that to this day I have no clue what it is. I know it is some version of JK6. Anyways Wifi calling is decently stable though I am having some minor issues with wifi connection and my battery is awful. If I flash a new modem would this interfere with the wifi calling's stability?
And having that in mind is there a list of what ROMS include wifi calling? (or can it be installed on any ROM, because I would really like to try Axura or Nero) but I can not go without it on my phone.
Thanks!

I'm sure it can work with axura, I've tried it, not sure about nero, but it should work.
The devs removed wifi calling from roms because its a HUGE battery hog, but I'm sure you can find a .apk on xda, or 4 shared.
I'm running Nero V3 and Wificalling works fine. It even seems to work better then my old JK2 based ROM. I'm using the .apk linked from the slightly better gingerbread theme found here in the vibrant themes section.
Flash a new rom and if the rom does not have the .apk just d/load it... no issues at all with the new roms.
Thanks guys I wasnt sure if the program was ROM Specific or required certain files/settings blah blah blah. But if it should work with any newer Rom I guess I should just get over this fear of flashing and pull the trigger. monkey1911 Ill give that a search right now so at least I can put it in my arsenal. Ill let y'all know my results. Thanks for the help!
I finally took the leap tonight and flashed nero 4.1 (maybe ill do 5 eventually but I like this for my first flash.)
I installed wifi calling and it works great. Had a struggle restoring my contacts because what's on google contacts is not correct and it wants to override what I restored using titanium which is correct so I had to shut it off and re restore the contacts after.
Only issue I am having is my camera advises me the firmware is not current and says continue yes or no. Any fix for this? Thanks for the help guys I am finally glad I got the audacity to flash

Hey guys!
Sorry for the endless posts. I just flashed superclean 2.9 for froyo and now I have no 3G connection, only wifi. When I pull down the notification bar, it shows Mobile Data is on, but...it's not.
Is there any solution for this issue? I have tried *228 and 2 several times; at first time, it worked for a while, but it disappeared soon.
Just for sure, My original modem was EA28, so I have flashed DL09 when I flash SC, and now I flashed DJ05. Everything works perfect, but still no 3G connection. I'm so frustrated :-( If I go to Verizon guys, then they must be like it's my responsibility. What am I suppose to do?
Thanks!
Others experiencing the same issue have found that activating another phone and then re-activating their fascinate helped restore a data connection. You can try that or if you decide to take it in to verizon just make sure you flash back to a stock unrooted rom and they shouldn't have a problem with.

I'm not sure, but is S.C 2.9 made to run under a modem less than dl09?
yeah but dj05 is also eligible to use SC rom.

why don't you use the eb01 modem?
Had to restore to stock and go to verizon. They couldnt figure it out. I said it just updated and since i had lost data. Replacement came in the next day.

You need the DL09 Modem for SC 2.9. My 3G works fine though, even worked without the DL09 modem, messaging wouldn't work right without the DL09 though. At least that's all I noticed not working properly.
Did you clear data and cache and such before flashing to the SC? Have you tried it again? Still running the stock kernel?
I had the same problem, but I was on stock, no 3G at all, called Verizon, they sent me a replacement at no extra charge. Now my 3G works fine.
I've been having the same issue, but i got it back after turning on&off my debugging & my wifi. it's take a few minutes thou
hope that helps!
I have a samsung galaxy s fascinate. It was recently updated to cm7 version 2.3.7. Worked fine for 2 weeks. Lately the 3G connection has given out. I have tried everything I could think of. Wireless and networks, check if an application was tampering with it, put it in airplane mode, turned data off, rebooted, tried them all. Any help will be appriciated. Thank you.

I had the same issue... what I did was wiped all cache, and factory reset, then flashed the kernel with Glitch v13. no problems so far. runs a lot better than the stock CM7 kernel IMHO. good luck
What modem are you on? i would suggest EH03....Find the MODEM only and you can flash it right with Odin. No need to loose any data
I have only had 2 data drops since early october running cm7 w/ glitchv13 kernel & ec09 modem...eh03 is decent too, try both and see what works better for you.
Hey all. So I've been running CM7 for a few months, and most recently also flashed the Kang ROM. However, also for the past few months, I can't remember if before or right after CM7, I've been having a very distorted call quality, as well as data connectivity disappearing, only coming back with a reboot. I was wondering if someone could direct me to the best modem/radio combo I should be using... I figured this is most likely the culprit, though I'm in the dark. I believe I'm currently using EC09... my baseband version under "About phone" is S:i500.04 V.EC09
Even if EC09 is the newest modem I could use, what else is compatible with CM7? I feel like the biggest noob ever, but could someone explain to me exactly what the modem and radio are specifically responsible for?
When I find a modem/radio I'd like to flash, can I just do that over what I have now, or do I have to flash an earlier build like Eclair or something and rebuild from there?
Flash the EH03 radio. You can download it from me I will post a link. Use Odin to flash it right over what you currently have. It will not mess with your ROM so no need to do anything else but flash this file

Thank you so I don't have to wipe a single thing before flashing? Should this remedy the call quality, loss of data connectivity, or both?
I didn't see much of a difference between those two radios on the CM7 kang, but it's worth a shot. MTD roms tend to have data issues from time to time, but if you lose connectivity, toggling airplane mode on and off usually worked for me, as opposed to fully rebooting. Call quality could be related to your signal strength and other factors on the other end of the call. Unless all calls are distorted?
Yes, all calls are equally distorted. Significantly worse than the phone originally was
No you don't have to touch a thing with your ROM. Odin that file and it will reboot to your rom with the new radio. I'm running eh03 on ics build 6 and it's great

the radio will not make a differenc on call audio quality...use glitch v13.1, the audio is much better than the kernel that comes with cm7.
Thanks for your help everyone. I'll install glitch as well as the new radio.
I asked before, but can someone please explain to me exactly what the modem and radio are responsible for and what advantage there is to updating them?
Also, i've never installed a modem or radio without installing current builds of both at the same time. Will it matter that upon installing the above radio, my radio will be more current than my modem?
Your radio and modern are actually the same thing. It can improve your signal/connection from Verizon so it it important to have a reliable radio. EH03 is a stock Verizon radio so we know it's reliable and the advantage is knowing you have a good reliable radio
