[Q] Which modem is better in UK for 3 network? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After searching alot here, finishing my cup of coffee i did not find any answer so here i am posting this question.
I had much better signal with my Old phone (SE Xperia X10)
I am using baseband: KF1, KERNEL KG1, BUILD NUMBER JPKG2
I am using middle eastern rom for Arabic and Farsi Support.
Which Modem works better with Three Network UK?
I cannot test them one by one as i dont have access to my PC for 2 days

You need to test them yourself unless somebody has gone to the trouble of testing in the last few days for 3 Network .
But i would try KG2 and KG3 first .
jje

I have, try ke7, as that is best for me. Kg3 is bad for me.

I too am using middle eastern rom for Persian support (jpkf3).
I have noticed that your using ke7 modem with this rom.
Just wondering, did you flash that in Odin? Have you experienced any problems so far?
Also, did you manage to find out if I9100XXKG3 (Android 2.3.4) supports Arabic/Persian at all?
Thanks in advance.

KE7 has been the best one so far and I've tested about 6.

Kpa and lp1 are the best

If you actually looked around(i.e. Used the search function) you would see that most people only have ke7, or custom rom based on ke7. So how can the give you advice? Ke8 just isnt available to the masses yet. So xhill and enjoy your new phone.
Its a case of cant, not wont.

[Q] Baseband/Radio for Australia (Sydney) Vodaphone ?

I am now with Vodaphone in SYD
Using Rarity Rom, with I9100TDUKF4...
the reception seemed to be very bad... any suggestion?
Also maybe becoz of CSC as well?
push.... a little help?
help......
Heya, I don't know much at all about modems, but seeing as no one else has any ideas I thought I'd just suggest for you to take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277593
The second post shows a comparison between all of the modems that he tested.
I flashed KI4 just because.
I haven't noticed any differences (yet. I haven't really tested it out much) but then again I didn't have issues to start with.
Maybe worth a try? 8)
I've also found this and decided to flash it, too.
(Something to do with GPS stuff)

Hope it helps!
I have been told local radio/baseband/modem will be better in terms of reception... not sure if that is true...
i'll give it a go anyway =]
In settings/about phone is your baseband 'dukf4'?

I'm using the I9100TDUKF4 modem with I9100 KJ3 firmware. Works well.
Give the Telstra I9100TDVKF2 modem a go. I found it better than the Vodafone modem for the I9100T.
Search for it in the Q&A forum.

Thanks all... I'm switching a lot of baseband today, KH3, KH4 is not good for T version S2s....
and yes, it was I9100TDUKF4 in basband before, that gave me an average speed and reception...
I have also aware that maybe the service provider will affect the reception, so my guess will be if for T version S2s, it has to be used different baseband when the phone is with Telstra and voda...
anyway i am using NEKF2 atm, the speed is amazing but the reception is again not much improved....

oh btw, i am living in Marsfied.... would that make a difference?
Yep! For i9100t it's best to use only the voda or telstra modems. I use kf4 on my telstra version running optus sim.
Does anyone have a cwm version of the telstra modem?

I have a friend in Marsfield and 3/Voda reception there is ok. Mobile data is a bit crap but that's not your problem I assume.

non-T version has tones of choices

What baseband?

I have installed latest romantic from CheckRom. What is the best baseband to use?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
KI3 which will give you the best signal which in turn will give you good battery life. If KI3 dosnt work for your region try KL1
Its best to try a few different ones to see which modem works best for your location and network. I've seen people getting the best results from xxkI4 and xxkI3. I personally get the best reception/battery life with xxkI1 here in the us on at&t.

[Q] ICS for GT-I9100T

Hi,
Does anyone know of an ICS ROM for the Galaxy S2 GT-I9100T model?
You can use any rom for the I9100. Makes no difference.
Just flash your i9100t modem back on ics works for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I already installed an ICS ROM intended for the regular model, and it is very very buggy. The internet connection is very bad.
I did some research on the Web and what I understand it's a problem with the modem. The modem for the T model is different.
I'm in Israel on the Pelephone network.
Hi 7t
I wrote my comment just as you wrote yours, so I didn't see it.
From where can I download a modem for the T model?
Thanks.

wondering. thought that it would have, because of i9100T ,.. but apparently just orange UK (and france) have it. then you can install any i9100 you want.
I9100T doesnt mean nfc it is optimized for 850 mhz network.

As 7tOny4 says, the T thing is about the modem, nothing to do with NFC.
No NFC in Israel anyway.
Thanks anyway.
I have a GT-I9100T and have been using various ICS roms, including the CM9 nightlies, for the past month or so. At the moment, I'm running Resurrection Remix.
The modems included in the latest roms have all worked fine for me, so all I've had to do is re-add the appropriate APNs If for some reason it doesn't work with the included modem, just flash a modem file from your carrier or another local carrier that uses similar frequencies.
There's a collection of modem files from different carriers globally on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
With the official release of ICS today, I expect that we'll be seeing updates to all of the main one-off roms within the next few days, including updated kernels and modems.
I have a gs2 i9100T and running remix ICS 9.6. It is fast, smooth and stable.

O2 UK modems

Any recommendations for a modem to use with o2/giffgaff ??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I'm just using Omega rom with the modem from that and it works beautifully, always get signal and strong internet speeds. Much better than my S2 when I used to flash new radios
A friend of mine has a O2 phone and i think he has XXLE5 on it
You cannot be recommended the best Modem. Even from people on the same network, they are not in the same are, going to the same places you go.
You have to work out which one is best for you. There is no right answer.
