Hey guys had a search and i couldn't find the answer so was just wondering what modem is the best for optus australia on the GSII
Try them and see which one gives you the best results, modems are very carrier and region specific, maybe check what modem was shipped by your carrier, and work from there.

I've got my wifes phone on kh3. No complaints. I'm stuck on SGS1 'til may. Interested to know others modem experiences on Optus. I think I might try an older one like Ke7 that it came with and compare results.
Depends on which model you have. If you have a GT-i9100 then you can use any modem (with the newest most likely to be the best) but if you have a GT-i9100T then you'll want to use the modem that came with your phone otherwise you'll experience poor signal and no 3G.
OK just a follow up. KH3 is fantastic, it has better signal than my original galaxy did on every modem I tried on it so I can highly recommend it to optus

I'm with Vodaphone and have a GT-I9100T. I have tried many modems and haven't experienced poor signal or no 3g/h.
In fact, I've found the biggest impact on signal/gps and ability to connect to faster networks, is to have the correct CSC. Which is sometimes changed when using custom ROMs. Keep that in mind.

I use I9100TVAUKF4, which can be downloaded here.
It's so large because of all the vodafone extras.
Credits to Intratech.
My favourite is KH3. I have used it on Vodafone, this had the fastest download speed for me but battery drain was a little higher than my previous modem. (I believe was KE7)
On Optus and Telstra, KH3 is by far the best modem that I have used. Granted, I haven't tried every single modem - I have used about 4.
Now, I'm not sure the KH3 is the best straight up for Optus, but it si the best, in my experience overall for Australian networks.

Australia.
OPP = AUSTRALIA
OPS = AUSTRALIA
VAU = AUSTRALIA
XSA = AUSTRALIA
TEL = AUSTRALIA
HUT = AUSTRALIA
Can confirm that XXKH3 modem has the fasted internet speed I've been able to achieve on the Optus network.
Stable h+ and 3g without having to do the *#301279# thing.
Using this modem with Optus XWKG1 firmware in country northern NSW.

hi, as everyone on here says there is no best Modem, you just have to try a few and see what one works best for you. KH3 and KH7 are said to be quite good, I tried 5 before i picked KH3, and there is no risk trying them so give it a go
hope this helps
Thanks.
I find it strange there's no difference. I mean why go to all the trouble to create all these different updates for no change/difference..... Strange lol.

Yeh I guess it is a bit, but some work better in different geographical areas lol
Anyway hope I find a good one

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)

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?

It looks like there are two different product codes: 9300 and 9300T. I wonder what are the differences between them, and which one should I purchase. I live in Spain, Europe.

That'll be the NELE4 modem. You can get it from here by searching.
However, it doesn't work with the most up to date firmware (callers won't hear your voice). To be honest, I'm now on the stock modem and haven't noticed any performance difference to the NELE4 I had before I updated firmware.

Well I have noticed a difference in the 3 UK firmware, as 3 UK technically has 2 networks running co-inside, you will find that the 3 UK firmware actually selects which network has the best signal, either their 2g side or their 3g side, however custom roms or debranded firmwares cannot defrenchiate between which network is which, and therefore you can find that you may be locked to the 2g side of the network (which is what I found). If you use the 3 UK branded firmware it actually says "3 (3G)" and "3 (2G)" if you're looking at the networks page, whereas custom roms do not show this, they just show two "3" networks, so you cannot tell which one is which.
I am wondering whether anyone else had noticed this or if there was a workaround for this problem?
Modem
So,i was wondering...
Since i've bought my phone in Portugal,and unlocked when i was in there,but currently living in London and using the T-Mobile(now called Three Network) which modem would you suggest me?
I'm using the latest FoxHound v2.0
Because sometimes i lose the the mobile data and can't get any kind of data....
Hello All,
Is there any tricks to increase the Mobile Signal range in weak areas? Is it the Modem that gives Android Phones capacity to fetch mobile signals? If so is there any better proven modem that I can flash on my S2?
I am on NeatROM Lite v4.7 on my S2 (Modem: I9100XXMS2), any advises thanked.

Yup!you should try it for yourself,after you flash give it a try atleast 3-5days,so that you will know w/c is better for you. as for your country you must look a modem that begins in JP,you can try any but try Jp first,because that is for arabic countries.
And do exercise that thanks button,

you can find links and a very good reviews of i9100 modems on this webpage http://translate.google.com.pk/tran...мы-для-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100i9100mi9100t/
.For me in Pakistan M250K UB23 give me loud volume during calls but edge dsnt work on this modem.i also tried xxlp1 people say it gives best signals but for me problem of low voice during calls remained so i choosed to remain on m250k ub23.you can try those and some other which i mentioned and which are reviewed on this webpage.i think for me m250k ub23 works well bcoz my i9100 is korean version and not the international or european version.
