Im running bionic rom which is great compared to stock 2.2 but my data is really slow.

That is because Bionix V uses KA7 modem and that is TERRIBLE when it comes to reception and data.
Flash a KA5 modem. Look under the dev forums for the clockwork flashable download.
That will fix your data and improve your reception.
Will do thanks, anyone else have suggestions?

I think you should use the JL5 modem I got crazy speed on my vibrant. Indoors I would get like 2.5mbs down and outdoors I get like almost 5mbs. Crazy good and I can't complain about battery life but maybe that's because I got a spare battery

We all seem to have differnt luck with different modems.
KA7 is the best for me followed by KA5 and JK6 but your mileage may vary.

has them all. Try 'em all out untill you find the best for you.
Its gonna be a crap shoot depending on where you live...My data was out for 6 days until this morning and I can only get Edge so the KA7 is working good for me and I ve tried em all.
Mileage may vary seems the best answer for sure. JL1 works best for me. No idea why but data screams. KA6 was alright, KA7 blows. everything else was just average.

Have you try factory reset? That seems to work for some people.
Or you can try flash modem to which ever version that works best for you. It seems to work for most phones...except few oddballs out there.
Asking won't help much, you just gotta test it to know which is best for your phone. KA6, KA7 all works for me.

Not that TERRIBLE. BOTH works for me just fine. KA7, I did not have to do clear anything.
Tried all them and so far ka5 is ok.. Ka7 has fast gps lock but slow data, ka6 has fast data, fast gps lock but very innacurate, telling me im 30 miles from where I really am. Jk6 has extremely fast data but no gps lock at all. Then theres the ka5 which gives me decent data speed and fast gps lock. Does the modem really have anything to do with gps ?

people always talking about all these diff modems.. what are each for? whats the point of having different modems? what are they for? JFD, JI2, JI4, JI5, JI5, JK2, JK6, JL1
these are radios.. these affect for signal and data connection!
some work better than others.. jk2, jk6, jl1 are for 2.2 froyo the rest are for 2.1 eclair
which one do you prefer for signal and data for froyo?
currently using JL1 with Axura 2.2 so far so good..

Well JL1 has Great data, but bad battery.
And JK6 has Good battery, and good data, but data is not as good as JL1, so if you don't care about battery, JL1 is for you, or if you want the best but not really best of both worlds, get JK6.
JK2 has Great battery, but bad data

I'm running Nero v3 with JL5, and I get great battery life. I also read of a lot of people getting great life with JK6. From what I can tell it varies from phone to phone.
Honestly, The best advice is to test different ones and see what works best for you.

Jl5 works best for me.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Of the stock Froyo kernels, the best combo was the JK6 Voodoo kernel and the JL5 modem. JK6 modem actually got better battery life, but it had a problem in which it would get stuck on EDGE if I left the 3G coverage area, and wouldn't reconnect to 3G without a reboot.
The best battery life I've ever seen on my Vibrant is still with Eclair + JAC XMOD kernel + JK6 modem, but again, there's that 3G reconnect problem. I'm using Eclair + JAC XMOD + JI2 modem right now, and my battery life is excellent.
Yeah, I'm not upgrading to Froyo/Gingerbread until Samsung releases the source code. None of the Froyo ROMs behave properly on my recalcitrant phone.
what is the the best 2.2 modem for data connection? i know the more data, the less battery, but i dont care... i know JL1 was the best, but since with KA7 and so on. whats the best for data?
KA7 seems to be great.

i agree that ka7 is the best for now. ka5 is the worst ever stay away from that. after ka5 i got .03 mb down. after that my speeds were never the same until ka7
And 1 more thing... hows the battery to ka7 to jl1... cuz i def love jl1's data. Is ka7's battery better or worse

Hey guys im wondering for the one's who have tried bionix v the old version and the new one, can you give your feedback about it???
in my opinion i dont see a great change of it. and i even think that the old version works better i dont know how about you guys???
Had bionix-v and flashed 1.2 yesterday night. So far I don't see anything different. For that matter, I haven't seen any real changes since Nero 5 which I thought was a great ROM. I just flash the newest because - well - because I can.

Lol yeah me too!! but the Nero rom is the one called nero-5-voodoo??? i have that zip file and never use it.
For me just having the Percent of batterly life number bigger was worth the 2min. it took to flash.
There was no real cosmetic changes just some "behind the scene" changes. Getting geared up for 2.2.1 i guess. I like the no wipe option now although I still wiped.
Only difference I see so far is my GPS isn't nearly as good. Before I start a "GPS sucks" war I am going to re-flash and test again. I want to do a few battery cycles before I flash to see about battery life as well.
If you are a cosmetics type flasher I would just stick with V. If you are an avid updater and ROM whore such as myself then flash away.

I hear you!! lol im just testing each rom out to see what's best for me but i want to know hows everyone else doing with them also.
the old bionix rom has excellent battery life. I use a combination of bionix v1 with the kb1 modem. Standby battery is amazing. 28 hours with moderate usage (xda, engadget, texting, web browsing, etc). So I am hesitant to switch, I would recommend keeping the old one until 2.2.1 kernel

Nahhh I kept it the same whatever the kernel was before. And that 28 hours went down to about 22 but that is still amazing.. the standby time is awesome, thats what gives the battery life. If you use it constantly it will drain but if you use it like a normal human being it will be perfect for you.

Yea dude no problem. Hey if you come up with a good combo that helps with the battery life while the phone is awake, pm me and let me know your ideas. And so far bionix v has been doing wonders for me but axura has a kb1 based rom out and I can only imagine it will be good. I choose to have bionix because I DESPISE axuras theme.. lol
Ps. To test your battery life just download the battery left widget and check it every once and a while. Once you use your phone (from 100% to 0%) the readings from the app will be fully accurate and can tell you how much battery you have left and how long. The battery accuracy is set as you lose battery, so the more you use it, the more accurate. So to test your combos use this widget to determine battery life and which ever one has the most hours, should be the best. It will take a while but it will be worth it lol

I dont see any speed boost for the new update.
But the update makes my GPS lock everytime in less than half min which is never been seen be4!!!
trey, is the kb1 significantly better than ka7?

Nero 5 v Bionix V
I can only compare Bionix V to Nero 5.
Both are very close. Battery is much better on Bionix 5. Was using KA7 modem on Nero 5. Just installed KB1 modem on my Bionix 5. Will have to see how that works out. So far I can tell that I get a better signal and faster D/L and U/L.
I am getting lower Quadrant scores on Bionix (1300)compared to Nero (1500) on stock cpu not overclocked.
Overall I am happy with what I got so far.
T-Mobile Vibrant Bionix V KB1
T-Mobile HD2 NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9G NAND
So now im a little confused so Nero 5 is a Bionix build? And if that's true the zip file for nero 5 is the one called Nero-5-voodoo?? I have this zip file in my pc but never use it.

Nero v5 is the old version of bionix. Bionix is just a more stable version basically with official 2.2

try them both for a few days, see which works best for you
I've had immense success with KB5.
Sent from my Vibrant using my fingers.
It's going to vary between users because of different devices and even because of your location. I'd try both like one user said and see which works best. But I wouldn't stop with just those two because KB1 has been very good too. That one was best for me until KB5 came out.
Put KB5 down on me
