There was a thread that stated yes if u go back to di18 you would get the ec05 update. Sry I don't have the link but the op I belive stated he went back to di18 and shortly after his phone pulled the update.
EDIT: can't get link to post with this from my phone but its in the epic 4g general section and it titled anyone on eb13 get the ec05 update yet.

I went back to di18 and used the update.zip posted in general. Very happy that I did. EC05 is working great for me.

The text doesn't mean anything. Apparently a guy said he got the text on DK28, and obviously people on DK28 don't get the update.

Diagnosing the best modem

Hey alll..
I am thinking I have a phone that does not prefer ec05's modem. Is there any method or (free) app that can help me move this from observation to some actual data showing that my phone and ec05 are not playing best?
Thanks.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Flash the EB13 modem, and if it improves, you found your culprit (but with data problems, it's a near-guarantee it's the modem).

You could use something like this app:
Speedtest.net Mobile (in market and free)
To test what speeds you're getting using EC05 modem (run a few and average them out).
Then odin EB13 modem and run the tests again.
Then you'll have some data to compare.

Thanks for the feedback. I am trying to be more imperical than my perception. My primary concern is not the speed (although maybe that is an issue) but my signal. It seems my wifi drops in parts of the house that were solid before and my 3g seems weak. All I am working off of is the signal bars for now...I was kinda hoping for a logging/reporting thing.
I thought I read that the eb13 did speed improvements and so on. I don't wanna lose anything but I am reading people going all the way back to dk28 and the idea of a beta or rc modem being better makes little sense to me.
Thanks again.

You won't lose anything by flashing the EB13 modem, it's a simple Odin flash.

There is an app called aLogCat; it logs everything going on with your phone. The logs are pretty large but you can filter the data. Maybe that could help?
I used it to help test some things for devs.

I have played with them all at some point. I haven't found the info I am seeking in logcat so I caant really tell you. One chef is claiming substant5ially better battery life from using dk28 and I have seen some android sensor usage issues reported as resolved from going to eb13. I think the devices are different and different results are happening per device.

KID and KL1 Modems/Basebands

Thanks to Team Kang you can flash a different modem/baseband via ODIN if you don't want to wait for the full update.
NO, this does not include wifi calling, it just changes the baseband from KID to KL1.
If KL1 is not working good for you just flash back to KID.
Go here and FOLLOW directions.

What's the point of this?

KID speedtest was at 1.2mb/s - 2.0mb/s download with 2 bars of signal
KL1 speedtest now at 4.8mb/s - 5.1mb/s download also with 2 bars of signal!

Can anyone take a screen shot of before and after?

For some it could improve your signal and for others it might make signal worse in which case you would have to go back to KID.
It varies on your area.
For the most part it's to improve signal, but coming from the Vibrant I know that's not always the case.

I see. Thanks. But if I flash the 2.3.6 update through ODIN I'll already have this new modem, right?

yes-then re flash cwm

Thanks for the info on what the radio does. Seems harmless to give it a try.
Radio and wifi calling aside, the new update can mostly be overlooked? Normally I'd be all over this but juggernaut is too good to me right now.

Yeah, pretty much. I have no need for wifi calling so I got what I needed which is the modem. Gonna test out tomorrow and see if it's any good.
It's really easy to flash and won't mess with the rom you're in.

Just an FYI... I was on BeastMod 4.1. I was given a Samsung link via TMobile techies to upgrade the firmware, which also enables wifi calling. The Techies MUST and I repeat must enable your specific account to have wifi calling if you want that aspect to work. Also, I did end up losing root. Just redid the Odin stuff to get back root BTW. The Kies utility also shows the upgraded firmware info.

Been using the new modem for the last two days thanks to team kang.
My download speeds havent improved. What has improved is the ping. on the old modem i was getting 860ms for ping but now its only 43ms. much better.

[Q] Which is better or more Stable EC05 or EI22??

which is the better more stable Modem?

I never had any stability issues with either, but I get much better data speeds with the EI22 modem.

Modems will work differently for everybody depending on where your located... try all (not jus ec05 and ei22) and see what works best for you!

What do you mean if the whole update fails or if the modem fails?.... its not too hard I can link you to a video that will teach you how to revert back to stock via odin.

Long story short, I was on AC ICS v2 and the EI22 modem kept messing up, Would lose all data and no signall. SO i had a friend odin it back to EC05... Now i updated to v55 of ACS and The modem seems a lil flakly on EC05 so wanted to go to EI22 again and see what happens... (plus i want to go to revival and need that anyway) just wanted to know how to odin it back properly in the event of a failure again...
A link would be GREAT!

A crap ton of things can cause a bad signal. The mix of all the radio frequencies in that place could be making you radio go haywire... although I don't think that's the case you may have a bad radio... unless that office is THE only place you have that happen.
Sent From My Cyan Samurai

yes its the only place it happens. i left and drove a few mins away everything restored... weird... never had issues on ec05 there.. doesnt mke any sense

There are radio/electro magnetic deadspots everywhere. I go from full signal to no signal along my couch in my Living Room. Had to install an Airave just for that dead spot.

[Q] FC09 or FB15

I am running FB15 on CM9 and have had a pretty good experience with it. Has anyone moved to the latest radio, FC09 (i think it is still the latest)???? Did it make a difference? Is it worth changing over to it?

haven't seen any difference in Daytona area. I really don't think they are doing any modem work since EI22.

I have to say I believe fc09 appears more consistant on day 2 of testing! 4g and 3g are more consistant on speeds and much less fluctuation than fb15
MTD (EL30)
BLENDED CLEAN GB 1.12 With Various mods
SHADOW V3.0
(in the voice of lil john)
YAAAYUUUUUHH!!!!

I no longer have Sprint service but, instead, uses it on WIFI. I noticed battery life under use is better with FC09, GPS is back to being more accurate and the automatic brightness is finally more consistent, whereas, before it used to fluctuate.

Modem only effects signal, 1x, and 3g. If you only use wifi, you do not need a modem.

It sounds like he has the whole update, not just the modem.

FC09 gave my data speeds a little boost and more consistency as well as made my WiFi speeds jump up a whole 10 Mbps. Very worth the tedious task of collecting files, odining back to EL30, then using the CWM 5.0.2.7 zip to flash the FC09 delta file, even with a 20% chance of possible corruption that would cause me to start the entire process over again.

I'm on FB15 and have been since it leaked....seems like the whole community skipped over it and jumped directly to FC09 tho might jump ship myself soon enough but as of late I've had great 3G speeds and download speeds (could be the 3G Turbo tweak tho) and I never use wifi so.

ok, i asked this question originally to see if there was a definite answer. seems to be half and half. however, being that i am on cm9 with fb15, what is the easiest way to install fc09? should i boot in to stock rom from my sddisk and install fc09, or can i just odin the modem directly to the phone while on cm9? i tried to odin it a while back and screwed the entire phone up and had to start all over.

Just Odin the modem directly.

Do you bother to read posts? Odin the fc modem on its own, or titanium backup your apps and flash the fc tar and reinstall your apps. How many hand outs do you need?

when you odin just the modem it should be a modem.bin in the phone section of odin I believe. someone else can chime in but for sure. but I had the same problem with the modem.tar for fc09. but if you have to start over just flash the official fc09 or fc19 tar then root and boot.
