Can Somebody Answer this?!?!?

[steeljack99]

i have a question, can someone explain to me what the advantage would be to switch to the FL26 modem VS the Fj12 modem? i have a bit of an idea as to what i THINK a modem does but can you explain what a modem is and what would be the point of just upgrading it instead of keeping my old Fj12 since all my data connections are working fine and i used a flashable ziped apk to kill my OTA update prompts.

EDIT: i did google what a modem was and what the point of updating one was for an found no good info on it


i tried asking this in aa actual applicable thread but no one was checking that one anymore apparently so yeah... sorry, i had to make this a thread of its own :/

It doesn't really matter if you upgrade it or not. Modems are going to be different on a phone-to-phone basis. They will either improve signal or 3G speeds, but you can't be sure until you test the ones that are compatible with your ROM/phone. If what you have right now works for you then there is no reason to change.

It's not really the modems that change but rather the code that controls the modems. The hardware for the modem is incorporated into the chips on the phone. The modem files we are talking about control the modem operation. It's normally believed that newer is better but in reality each version needs to be tried and tested by the individual in their own situation. There are just too many variables.
