Ok so I'm seeing all of thesse posts about modems, I come from a samsung moment so I have literally no idea what anybody is talking about. So will somebody please explain?

Its what gives the phone its signal..depending on the modem it determines if you have great signal or poor signal, and usually updates to towers.
In essence its the radio version and usually the newest the better but varies between location.

Yes there were modems but I didn't really care much as I could barely play games on it, it was my beat up phone. Hence the otterbox.

Ok, so if I never changed it and all I've done since stock unrooted was root it and go between clean gb, and marcusant, and am currently now on cm9, would it have changed from ei22 to el30? I'm very confused, I'm a n00b and I have no knowledge about modems. Please explain. Thank you
Sent from my SPH-D700 with some ice cream on it
Nope flashing a rom doesn't change the modem you'll need to flash the modem via odin or a delta depending on what modem your on.

Usually yes...most updated "usually" gets better results but always and I mean always depends on location. So really any modem would be beneificial.

PS - The Syndicate Frozen Rom with the Twilight Zone Kernel is freakin' amazing. My phone is much faster than I ever thought it would be. ;D

Why wouldn't you flash the one made for syndicate.
The problem with flashing something that's not made for particular roms is certain hacks/mods will not function correctly and cause problems. Flashing something designed for eb13 on ec05 is bad also as there has been changes to the .jar and coding so **** ain't lining up right. It may be minor or major but I can gyrante something is gonna break

Going on two weeks...
Havent had the chance to flash the appropriate one nor have I ran into a need to do so as my phone is functioning just fine as is...
I like the hardware but this loss of service thing is annoying.
Has anyone determined if this is a software issue? Sprints network isnt great but my evo 3d fares much better.
Ive read around on the internet and I THOUGHT I read a post that mentioned a user reverting to EG30 which solved his/her problem. Only thing that isnt positive is whether the user reverted to software EG30 or baseband EG30.
Any insight into this issue, how to revert to an earlier software version? Ive tried various radios but not software. I appreciate your time.
I'm having same problem....my evo 3d had no problem with Los but my e4gt is terrible where I live.....I was told to try different modems but I tried FCO7 AND FC14 still the same.

Ok, maybe that is incorrect.
Just using it, for example sending a tweet or an email, one may send immediately. Then if I choose to refresh or send a second tweet/email right after, the transmission arrows dont light up for a while. Its like the radio is going to sleep way too fast and it takes even longer to wake up and complete the transaction. Enabling/disabling fast dormancy doesnt seem to make a difference.
Edit: under these conditions, I never get the "no signal" icon. Just seems the radio is sleepy
Well I asked around because my signal sucks but I called sprint and they said my area has really good service.....but people told me to try FCO4 and FC14 and FCO7 that might help so I did......nothing helped.
I just looked it says I'm using el29 on my kernal and FCO7 under baseband.......not sure if that helps,ill try to find out more and if it helps ill let you know

Of course when you flash with Odin it flashed the modem with it. So he's not mistaken'd.
The only way you can get an ICS radio to work with GB is if they modified it and removed the ICS RIL files in the modem and vice versa for ICS radio's to work on GB which most of the Dev's did in their ROM selection. That's why you see modified modem in their OP's at times.
I had ics on my telus phone and proceeded to restore my phone due to issues and when I rebooted I was running gingerbread.
So loaded up kies to do a update to ics and said I couldn't so i took a look and was running lle4 in gingerbread and everything ran fine.
I had to manually upgrade go ics through cwm after

lol You can odin to anything because stock odins carry ROM kernel modem and recovery...
However if you RESTORE from a BACKUP it may or may not give you problems. depends if the radio is modified or not.

If you're getting good signal/data speeds, stick with what you have. It really matters on your location. For me, FF18 is the best but for others, FF27, FH13, etc...

Modems are area/device dependent.
Meaning, what might work well for me, might not work well for you.
You can try any modem with any build. Try the latest and see if your speeds improve or not. Might find that what you have is the best for you, might not.
(some say to update profile/prl after each time you change, i for one, don't see improvement doing that, but try it)
: edit: From fi03 forward, 4g speeds increase due to changes of Wimax settings. So if 4g is a player for you, keep that in mind
