EL26 is awesome.

I never get service at my girlfriends house. Now I atleast get a bar or two. Usually it jumps between roaming or no service.

I'm still using modem from ota.. but the rom n kernel is calk's 2.7.. and wondering should i flash the modem or not...

I agree. Now with EL26 I get great signal in Walmart. Usually when I head to the back of the store I have no bars. But with EL26 my 3G is rockin

I was in love with EG31 for a while, but, EL16 ended up being better in the long run... EL26 didn't impress me so I didn't keep it for more than a couple hours... But given all of the positive responses I'm flashed it and I'm going to "let it settle" for a few days.
... I'm skeptical that "letting it settle" has any effect, but, it seemed to for EL16. Anyone that has any technical explanation (for or against) would be awesome.

I may be crazy... it could all be in my head or just some luck with the GPS process, but since I put on the EL26 stock rom, kernal, and modem (then rooted) it seems like GPS is much better. Satelites synced in few seconds when outside.
Anyone else? I have not applied any of the GPS fix to the stock EL26 yet, may not need too. Have not done any type of testing other than just using navigation and noticing the faster GPS connection (from GPS being completely off too btw).

The gps app is gps status found in the market.
As far as el26 modem for me it was worse. I used it for 2 days and my speeds were half of what el13 was. I was having worse service and some ghost Los where it just wouldn't connect. Still liking calkulins 2.7 but had to revert my modem back to el13.

I wish Sprint would release an OTA update for this already.

Best modem?

I know its been asked before. But what modem do you guys get the best performance on? I'm pulling 50% of my el29 speeds on ff11. Unless I got tower upgrades in my area. Lol

Its odd....at home, fe10 is my best bet. When I was in Hawaii earlier in the week, ff11 worked great. Choose one and use apps like open signal and GPS status to test what results work for you. Both free from the market.

FF11 is the first modem since EL29 that I can honestly say performs good enough for me to leave EL29.

EL29 seem to work fine in the east coast. Lets hope they release ICS before june is over

somebody just needs to make a poll so people can see who and how many are using what modem. Then underneath the poll educate people by saying, " experiences may vary". That way at least people could get a baseline and see which ones are popular.

Ek02 works well for me. Stronger wifi at least than ff11.

[DISCUSSION] FG20 Build

This is a thread to discuss the FG20 build for the Boost Mobile version for our phone.
As to my knowledge there are no issues running it on our Epic 4G Touch without of course a simple APN fix to get MMS.
What we've noticed is that its a more polished version of FF18 and what we should have essentially gotten for our phone.
I would like to know your experiences on FG20 and how it's running for you.
And note any bugs you notice please!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Everything seems fine, some (but fewer than FF18) apps FC on me. The multitask bug is still there, I haven't tested if the exchange bug is still there. Battery life seems a bit sketchy, but better than FF18's. This is near 92-95% percent of what our ICS update should have been in the first place.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

I not sure to try the full ROM because I only flash the modem and can't even make a good call 95% of calls drop on me and the people I tell to call me they all went directly to my Voice mail.
Maybe I should try full ROM but dunno.
Edit: I just notice a few hours ago service get a Lil better, I will try again maybe was Sprint Service problems.

I've been on the fg20 modem for a few days now and not had any problem, I've have no 4g in my area and spotty 3g... my 3g speeds have been more or less the same as they were on ff11, but the consistancy and stability of the connection has improved and this has helped my battery life, not that I had an issue with my battery life... voice calls have been good and I've not noticed any change from what I experanced on ff11, which prior to this was the modem I got best results with

Hello, I tried the FG20 rom and noticed that there was no Roaming option in the settings, so I did a quick search for Boost mobile roaming and found that BST doesn't allow roaming. So for now, it's back to the somewhat unreliable (WiFi) FF18

I'm not sure what you're questioning, but I'll try to be more specific. After trying the FG20 ROM/Modem and realizing that it had no roaming option, I first reverted to a backup of FF18 ROM, keeping the FG20 Modem. But FF18 has an annoying WiFi issue where it often disconnects while in sleep mode. So I then restored old reliable a.k.a Blazer 4.1 ROM which doesn't have any issues whatsoever, or at least any that bothered me. The modem itself, whether EL29, FF18 or FG20, all performed about the same regardless of ROM type, so as of yet, there is no reason to go back to an earlier version than FG20.
Bottom line, when I mentioned WiFi issues, they had nothing to do with modems..... I think.

I am still trying to figure out what makes these builds so different.

Seems like more trouble than its worth. I think a lot if people thought fg20 would be our silver bullet. I have a feeling we'll see an update for our ics before too long
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I'm running this but I'm also on boost. Find it to be an improvement over the last few ics leaks. Using agat's latest release 4 which I loaded thru Odin since mobile Odin doesn't recognize the device anymore. All in all pretty smooth with good battery.

4G Speeds?

Sooo im sure alot of people noticed the 4G speed drop but what sad is that the fact of the s3 3g speeds are faster than my 4g on my s2
welp time to leave since sprint keeps making bad choices because now im an unhappy wimax user i use to see about 5 - 7 mbs
now all i can see is barely 1+mb on 4g unless......is a hack or fix to tweak this or is it that lte chips are jus super fast
because i did the proxy bypass thing where you change the proxies to 0 across the board a lil better but still slow
and well most of all no official jb and well you know by the time we really get jb

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

If you're in the northern/north eastern part of the US some of your problem may be due to sandy and the associated storms up there. There was a lot of infrastructure damage to the networks of all carriers up there, but with sprints infrastructure being overloaded already the damage puts even more strain on the remaining parts of the network that are functional from users being offloaded from damaged/downed towers to ones that are functioning. They were saying there would be network outages and slower speeds/increased dropped/missed calls from Minnesota east as far south as Missouri thru north Carolina. They are working on getting it back up currently and they are going ahead and doing the NV and LTE deployment instead of just patching up the damaged old towers.

What Kernel are you on? If you're not running a stock kernel, 4g speeds get borked. I got 8mpbs down on stock, then would flash a JB rom and wouldn't break 1mpbs -- it would stick right around 650kpbs. Then I could flash right back to stock and speeds would be back up. I'd try flashing back to stock and see if that's it. If so, the only other kernel that I've found that doesn't break 4g is AGATS FI27 stock repack.

kinda wierd that fi25 was that horrible....im running blazer rom ics but all is fine now just have a yellow triangle in the middle during boot
but i can live with it for now until i actually feel like fixing my phone with a new rom and theme lol but thank you

It is so odd how source built kernels destroy data speeds. Don't make since. Its true. That's why blazer ROM always ran stock and it runs great

You can use the triangle away app in the play store. All the triangle means is that a custom kernel has been flashed, doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with the phone.

[Q] Modem questions

hi all,
I didnt find any threads that answered my question well, so if its a repeat my apologies. I am running Blu Kuban 1.0.5.4, it runs nice and smooth, i love everything about it, but i dont know JACK about modems in this sense. In about phone it says my modem is FF18, which seems right from everything i HAVE read lol, but then the BK build # say FL24.
i have read that GB and ICS modems are interchangeable, but i have no knowledge of where to start or IF i should bother messing with it. i know i have to travel to downtown orlando to catch a 4g signal, and 3g kinda sux and i get almost nothing inside my apt, and wifi is alot lower than i expected given i run a full dual-band DDWRT gigabit cat6 network.
so the crux of the question is the modem in the build number what it seems like? are the 2 conflicting or am i just misunderstanding al together lol and more, is there a better setup i can use, i know that tends to be phone specific but it seems like in general some prove to work well together and some dont.
thanks in advance for any/all help

FF18 is fine to run in BK FL24. Both are ICS. However, modems vary from phone to phone, location to location. I would try updating your modem to FL24, and after you reboot, update prl and profile, and see if that improves signal. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. But the short answer is no, the build is not conflicting with your modem, it's most likely the area you are in. Play around with other modems, see if it helps! Good luck

for the first one the FL24 i used the internal updater built into BK, but after that i switched to mobile odin bc i was afraid it was an updater issue...though my battery was a tad low but it was on the charger, and a straight wall charger too not a usb to my pc charger. ah well im not sweating it, like i said im mostly home anyway so having a kick ass rom thats rock solid is more important anyway lol

Not sure if you know but mobile Odin does not support the flashing of modems for the epic touch. It may look like it flashes but nothing happens. Either desktop Odin or recovery is the only way to flash a modem.

I don't believe this applies to GB and ICS modems. Let me check SXTP for confirmation.

I don't chance it flashing any modems. Everything else, sure. Modems, I use CWM exclusively.

with that in mind i will try using only cwm, and see if that makes a difference...thanks all for the help and the quick responses you guys all rock! im not a complete noob with flashing and such, but im not a pro either, i spent alot of time in IT and helpdesk, but now im back in school for programming, still only kinda towards the end of what would probably still be considered an apprentice level code monkey and while i some experience with linux/unix, in that realm i WOULD call myself a noob lol

ok so...i guess i have one more question, im running Blu Kuban, which uses a modified AGAT recovery...is it ok to flash a modem from that or should i just stick with desktop odin?

It's ok to flash from that. If it doesn't take, then try pc Odin. But like I said, I use CWM exclusively for modems.

Thank you for keeping us posted on your progress. Sprint/Boost/Virgin Mobile should just link to this forum in their communities for all tech support issues. It's faster, better info, and way friendlier. And wow it beats the heck out of going into their stores. I remember when Garwynn would post in the Sprint forum for the E4GT, and his input was far better than the Sprint monitors.
