Hi,
I have been having some serious LOS & general crappy radio reception. Before I jump ship to the Evo 4G LTE, I would like to revert to whatever the latest 'official' rom & official modem just for testing purposes.
I am using CM9 beta 3, FE22 modem & kernel. I want to try CM9 Beta 5 but I am having too many problems that could be phone related, or just rom/modem related.
I love CM9, but the phone is not as usable with data LOS being a frequent problem for me.
Thanks,
Rich

That's the official gingerbread release. Everything newer are leaks.

I appologize if this has been already answered. I did search around and couldnt find any threads related to this.
Does anyone know if the Midnight ROM has corrected the data connectivity issues that are present in the stock froyo build from samsung/sprint.

I am using the ROM and haven't experienced any issues what so ever.
Thanks.
I am currently running the stock froyo build from the Samsung site. Rooted and CW2 installed. Notice the problem when I am roaming using roam control. Data connectivity is intermittent. Hoping a custom rom is the way to go.
I am a little reluctant to go to the ext4 format. Will this prevent me from upgrading "official" froyo updates as they become availabe?

If you're running a custom rom then OTA updates will not come automatically.
Like when official froyo came out. After a few days the devs here had a tar file that included root and recovery. So using odin; i used that to get to the latest version provided by sprint (plus the extras I needed to run custom roms)
Then flashed my fav eb13 rom (eb13 being the version of official froyo from sprint for epic)
smooth sailing; as long as you read and familiarize before you just jump in. You'll know what to -not- do and what to do if something funky happens.
Good lock and happy romming!!
i am running midnight rom 4.1 and have no issues. if you are having issues i would suggest redoing it, not uncommon to have issues every now and then.
I'm on CM9 and have been on MIUI ICS and have experienced LOS on both roms (was far worst on MIUI). I was wondering if there are any known fixes for this annoying problem.
Second question is whether this is a problem with the leaked TW ICS based roms as well. I'm thinking about trying BluKuban because this LOS is annoying the **** out of me
I believe it would be a modem issue. Try a different modem. FD19 works best for me, but others have said that el29 worked best for them. Also, after flashing a modem you should flash a tw based ROM and update PRL/Profile before going back to your ROM of choice.

I had the same problem with CM9, even after trying all of the available modems. I've been using the stock ICS leaks for the last couple of weeks and my signal & speeds are the same as they were on stock GB.

I have been using CM9 as my daily driver for about 3 weeks now. With the FD19 modem I have had no problems (some modems such as FD24 gave me some issues.) I was running Nocturnal Venum with the FC24 modem before this with no problems. I don't think the problem is with the rom as much as the modem, but I have had great success with those combinations.
Out of curiosity, which kernel and modem are you running?
i just got the samsung sg3 and out of the box comes with LI3 which i understand as the newest modem out for sprint. i was wondering if rom builds were dependent on the type of modem you have as well. i guess my biggest question is if i can flash the CM10 nightly builds even though i have LI3 or do i need to go to a older modem such as LG8? Thanks

You can use LI3, LG8, LJ7.......just about ANY modem/baseband you want........they are all independent of the ROM. It's one of those YMMV things so see how it works with LI3.....maybe in your area you get ROCKING reception using that modem.....if not, then try another one.
From reading the Development section, I was wondering is FI27 the LATEST Official ICS ROM?? Also does this rom work well if I have an Epic Touch flashed to METROPCS?

FI27 is current and will likely be the final official ICS build. It will work but you may need to change your MMSC URL back after flashing. (Assuming it doesn't have separate APN information)
Hi, I just wanted to say that after testing many many kernels and modems I have gotten the best result with
i27 kernel & L24 Modem on the Blue Kuban rom for Epic 4g Touch
I am getting around 10/1 on this ICS ROM
Everything else I've tested gave me really poor 4g download speed under 1megabit
Some gave high upload speed over 2megabit.
Will be testing more roms, kernels and modems.
Before this, I was stuck on GB stock EL26 with around 3/0.5 (the best I could hope for was a matching speed in ICS)
Update!!!
Was re-flashing, testing and when coming back FI27 was horrible
Flashed FL25 and that worked great with the L24 Modem...
Update!!!
After playing around some more and doing lots of reading on XDA, I stumbled upon the following procedure:
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-boost-mobile-all-things-root/637007-4g-speed-after-root.html
Basically it talks about using odin to flash a repack of fi27 kernel AGAT_FI27_repack.tar
Then I used the FL24 modem and getting decent speeds once again, although some have said that el29 modem is best.
-Going to update with EL29 Modem when I get the time.
