I put eg22 not sure if this is correct or not any help is appreciated

It actually really depends on your location and phone. everyone gets different results with each modem. Me personally I use EC05 on any ROM. even EG22.
Just test each one til u see which is best?
Some one correct me if I am wrong but modems are not ROM dependent. I am running EE03 I think on Bonsai 4.1.3 I am thinking of going back to stock modem to try for better battery life.

You are correct Taz, modems are not ROM dependent. However for the EG22 leak ROMs I have found the EG22 modem works the best. Just about any modem on Froyo seems to work well. Some have reported more bars with certain modems but I always found I could have 1 bar then hold my phone a different way and get 3 in the same spot. No modem worked well in my house so I got an Airave.
To the OP...whatever works best for you since you are on froyo.
Thanks gentleman

Hey guys I was wondering what do the modems do for our phones?..
And please don't give me heat about using search or using google because I did both, just trying to get a general answer!! Thanks in advance

modem = radio
Modems are in charge of how your GPS, 4g, 3g and singles run. newer modems can show overall improvement on signal performance. but some are better than others depending on your phone. but normally newer modems run smoother then past modems.
The reason saying why some are better than others depending on your phone is because some modems react differently with this phone.
Lets say that we both put the new FC07 modem on our phones. you might experience better performance than I do. yet if I install the FC06 modem I might get better performance than the FC07 modem.
I have flashed a lot of Rom's, Kernels, and Modems and have always seen an improvement with the newer modems.
Hope this helped
I'm using an ics rom (cm9) to be exact and want to use FC07 modem.. my question is will I have to switch the modem if I decide to use a gingerbread rom again?.. will the modem screw with the signal? Thanks for the fast response

Having a modem that is ICS specific doesn't really matter when going back to Gingerbread. a kernel on the other hand from my experience.. I always got a hangup.. you should be fine when you are on a gingerbread Rom with a ICS modem

You can use any modem with whatever version of android you're running. I am on a GB version, running newest FC07 leak modem, works brilliant. (even though it seems that FC05 worked a bit better....) modems are completely independent of the version of android you're running.
Kernels are android version specific. GB kernels for GB roms, ICS kerns for ICS roms, they do not mix. unless you like bricks.
Thanks bro

Good basic adb usage there.
I'm just curious to know what modem do you run on your E4GT? To this date i run EL29, because i get the best DL/UP speed on average.
Been running the fc18 and it seems to work great. Only problems I have experienced are because things with ics are still in beta. I ran el29 up until I recently flashed fc18. I also had great up/dn with el29. Haven't speed tested fc18 yet...

FC18 currently on xplod SE ROM. Works good.
Also, fc18 on the Goodness v2.5. Seems best so far but it varies by phone/location

FC18 modem currently, fracking fantastic gps locks, in fact first time since I've owned that this phone has consistently locked throughout a whole day. In seconds. Every time. 6+ out of 6+ satellites.
Tentative opinion obviously. Tomorrow is a new day. ;-) but it seems like they got something right in this build, on the agps end anyway.
but 4G data seems not as strong as signal as FC15 perhaps. 3G works as expected.
Currently on Calkulins EL29.

EK02 saved my phone.
I was getting tired of GPS issues (among other issues) w/ a few other modems, but the combo of ek02 modem and kernel works wonders on my phone.
The battery life on fb 27's immaculate! Can't stay away now if I could get the speed of el29 I'd be perfect!
Tried all the modems and I think the EL29 works the best for me too.

So I'm asking for sort of a review of smoothness and speed of the new fd roms compared to fc18 or fc22. Thanks for your input?

Hold off until fd05, which has already been leaked but not leaked widespread yet.

You will probably get different answers from everybody. I am still using FC15 myself

Exactly why I said hold off. There hasn't been a noticeable improvement since the mid fc15 builds.

I had some problems with FD02 but it may have been applications. Some applications would freeze the phone or sometime just bringing up messages would lock the phone up. I would just have to wait for lock screen, then unlock and see what crashed. The older versions seem slightly more stable in my experience.
If you are working fine, stable with FC22 there's no reason to be flash crazy. Right now they all have their own issues that seem to be a bit different for everyone.
Wait until a Beta finally shows up, or you hear a lot of rave about a certain new leak and try then.. but right now not 'much' is changing from one leak to another.
huge difference the fd05 is the smoothest release yet
definitely flash
I normally don't upgrade til at least three builds newer are out if that makes sense. Unless there is a huge improvement. I am on FD02 and will most likely stay on it until FD10 is released, if it is released. If you are on a setup right now and its working for you. Hang tight. Cause as soon as you flash FD02/05 then FD10 will be out. Just my thoughts on it.
Are you guys talking about Modem or Kernel?
I have been running the FD10 Modem and Kernel on a FD02 build for the last few days and honestly it seems silky smooth for me. No scripts or undervolting at this point and so far I am getting good battery life out of it too.
I'm on calkulin's E4GT2 v.1.4. (FD02). The only bugs I've seen are that some apps aren't compatible, and the sound notification issue. It doesn't support boot animations and i wouldn't chance flashing any themes. It does support different launchers like go launcher so you can theme it that way. Other than that it is very smooth and solid with EVERYTHING else working including hotspot. Good battery life and no over heating. Came from blazer 4.1 which is awesome and very customizable but caused some battery issues. Although there is a stick FD10 posted in the Dev section, there aren't any custom Roms running on FD10. So I'm gonna stick with Calkulins fdo2 until i see something better. I have tried the goodness and its also good but only 4g hotspot. I need 3g so it was a no.go. Hope this was helpful and as far as SOLID ROMS GO Calkulins are the beast! Thanks calk for all you do. Always go with him first. Sent from my E4GTouch myself oh baby i love this phone

im on aokp with fd02 kernel and modem, best battery life i have ever seen on my device, also the smoothest ive seen, but its the only 4.0.4 i have ran. The fd02 modem doesnt seem all that great for me though, having more problems in low coverage areas than before. as in it didnt work where it used to kinda barely work.
FC24 modem + 4.1 blazer ROM = perfection.

I will second that. I was using fd05 with decent results but the battery life suffered. Atleast for me fc24 was great signal and great battery too.

Heck ya the latest fdo2 Calkins rom is da sheezy!
I've read quite a few posts mentioning this but haven't seen any solutions. I'm running Phantom Blazer's ICS ROM with AGAT's newest kernel. Are all ICS ROMs facing this problem or this is specific to Phantom's ROM? If there isn't a solution to this I'll need to go back to GB, I've missed some important emails from work due to this problem.
how did you flash to blazers rom? Did you do a full wipe or no data, I've been seeing a lot of posts about ics bugs where the poster tried to do a nodata flash, this is known to cause lots of wide ranging issues... personally I'm currently on mijjazs goodness but run aokp and cm9 regularly as well, I've not had any issues with wifi disconnecting, and believe me I would notice, I use wifi for most everything as sprint data is mostly unuseable in my area
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Well, one possible solution for now may be to try another wireless router if you have one. I don't know the root cause of this problem, but I do know I had horrible disconnect issues at my girlfriends house after updating (to stock rooted FF18), but no issues at mine. She has a Netgear router, I have an Airport Extreme. they both relatively new. I brought my previous Airport Extreme to her house and set it up. Now I no longer have disconnects at her place either. This doesn't fix whatever is wrong with the phone, but it works...
I have tried all the roms every 1 of them! with a fresh install and wipe everything and wifi disconnects on every 1 of them
I.also did a fresh install using caulkalin's format all zip. My router is an older linksys. Never had any Wi-Fi issues with it on my galaxy s1(fascinate). Anyone know of any developers here have taken a look at what might be causing this?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
it definitely has something to do with the rom, when I am on e l 29 my phone never disconnects, when I flash any I c s rom, I get random disconnects.
Its ff18 TW....I used aokp and now cm9 but didn't have this issue. I did flash quite a few roms besides these and it always happened on tw based roms only.

Thanks, Dante. I'm running AOKP and wifi disconnect seems to be fixed now. Unfortunately battery life isn't nearly as good but I'll do some reading and hopefully find a way to improve it.

Yeah happens to me too. But only when I have a weak wifi signal. Doesn't happen at home. Maybe due to the crappy routers in free wifi.

You can also try cm9...chris41g built a kernel for it where you can now control the governor and processor. Battery life has been awesome, plus no wifi issues. Too bad the kernel doesn't work on aokp yet.

Nobody really answered your question as to whether this was a 'known' ics issue. And I'm not going to suggest that you 'buy a new router just in case'. What I will tell you is that I have the same problem, but unfortunatley I'm on the same ROM as you, so I can't rule that out. But there's definitely an issue and it is definitely associated with ICS; would be interested in what non-Blazer folks are seeing.
I've been on AOKP for a full day now. Still no problems with Wi-Fi and I may have spoken too soon about the battery. I'm at 12 hours at 56% with 3 hours screen time which is a lot better than I got on my s1. I love all the options on this rom too. Loving having my 4 way lock screen back.

In case you're still seeing this problem - I switched to Blend ICS FF18 / Goodness 16.6 and the wi-fi problem would seem to have disappeared. I suspect the issue is/was somewhere in the Blazer ROM. I'd ask if the dev was working on it, but probably get flamed; that ROM hasn't been updated in a while anyway, so you might want to try Blend anyway.
I am having the same issues. My Wifi goes up and down every 5 seconds which kills my battery. Mine started on stock phone on GB 2 weeks ago on EL29 (phone was not modified or rooted). I was hoping rooting and flashing to CM9 would fix it. It has not, I have tried multiple modems as well. Any suggestions?
I have a 4 month old NetGear router. All other Wifi devices in the house are working fine.
Its probably just kernel related or router issue, been running blu kuban ics which is touchwiz based and never had a wifi issue. The kernel is sourced build by rujeluss22 with it's own modified recovery based on agat's recovery. Try it out, you guys might like it.

So you think it's the modem? Is the modem even responsible for WiFi? I though it was responsible for cell connection only
