[Q] Modem vodafone UK - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Delete

I`m alone with this problem???

No mate, you are not alone, I just changed the stock rom for Sensation and I reckon I upgraded teh baseband as well to KH3 and now I am experimenting some trouble when connecting, before my network outside was faster and more reliable whenever I was but now I can hardly connec when outside and I certainly cannot connect only 2G, it only works if I have it in auto mode. The main problem is that I cannot remember what my former baseband was...

Sorry to bump but also have this issue. Vodafone uk with resurrection 1.3. Anything work best with ICS, vodafone uk? The current ones im trying are making it worse if anything.

2.1 update in Australia, signal problems?

I updated my Vodafone X10 to 2.1 (2.1 has not been released for my product code yet) and I used global generic.
I noticed that after that I started having problems with signal drops, So I reflashed a few times but still the same.
I'm not saying it's the update for sure, since it could be a problem with my phone, but has anyone experienced this?
PS: I also replaced my sim card, and still have the same problems.

I'm with Optus and not Vodafone but I'm not experiencing anything like this.
im on Optus in Newcastle NSW and signal is good. never drops out but i get the occasional issue sending txt msgs. im on nordic 2.1 still.
Hmmm.
I think it might be my phone.
I downgraded back to 1.6, and although i havent had a any dropout yet, while comparing another nokia phone I have, i seem to get lower signal.
That's only in the hours or so since i downgraded.
I'll keep an eye on it, and report, but probably my phone being dead, and nothing related to 2.1
I have the same problems as well, i live in China.
I have singapore verision updated to 2.1, and then i always lose signal, i cannot make any phone call or people are quite difficult to call me.. this happen randomly
I flashed to global 2.1 when it 1st came out and experienced the same signal dropout that your talking about. My data signal kept dropping out and coming back. Got annoying. Eventually flashed to Optus 2.1 and everything is perfect. It's the global firmware, not your phone.
Try change your build.prop codes to the Optus au codes and see if you can use that firmware for Vodafone. Just root and delete all things Optus zoo

I have this problem in Newcastle, too. I've found 'reregistering' my phone on the network fixes it.

I too have just upgraded my X10 to 2.1 Generic. Im with 3 and have had poor signal for about 18 months (since Vodafone bought into 3). Since doing the upgrade, I now have HSDPA connections and the signal strength and quality of calls has greatly improved.
I am a optus user. After i upgraded the firmware to 2.1, my wifi just stops working. When i turn wifi function on, there is wifi logo appearing on the top of the screen and never detects any wifi access point. Anyone knows what is going on? Is that a bug of 2.1? as wifi was working fine with 1.6
IM from south Africa,on Vodacom/vodaphone and have the same issue with connection dropping on data,but found that it seems to be a tower problem or network problem rather than a phone problem,at home i have no issues like this but in far out towns with graham bell old technology in the towers the issue happens alot.

[Q] VERY Intermittent Service (3G HSDPA etc)

Hi,
I have a SE Xperia X10i that I purchased the other week which I had unlocked via the SE servers in a phone shop as I wanted to explore the full potential of this phone. Now it is second hand so bear this in mind....
It was originally locked to the Three network in the UK, I was on O2.
The original phone had 2.1 Android on it.
After having it unlocked I rooted the phone and also installed xRecovery version 3 and then installed CM7-ZMOD CYANOGENMOD 7 V3 from 19/08/2011 which is Android 2.3 and also Baseband .71.. I love this ROM thanks to zdzihu for producing this.
I have a problem with my network service.. It drops in and out all the time.. sometimes and can have a full signal at one location and return to that location 2 hours later and get the dreaded (No Service).. Also if I go into searching networks.. it also says no network providers can be found.. even when I have a signal!!!!
I jave tried the SIM in another phone LG and it works fine at that location. I have also tried another SIM, 02 in the phone and I get the same network drop out behaviour.. I go into Bristol every day.. quite a klarge city in the UK and I am sure that the coverage is there.. well actually I know it's there..
Now I have I got a Baseband problem or a phone hardware problem?
Anyone that could help I would be grateful of assistance.
Many Thanks.
Anyone??
Okay as I didn't get a reply to the original post I shall try a different tact....
As I am getting very intermittent phone signals (GPRS/3G) etc and the WiFi and GPS is okay would it be possible to downgrade the BaseBand version as I assume that this is what drives the functionality of 2G and 3G signals?
I am currently on the following:
Model X10i
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: 2.1.71
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-zdzihu-19082011
Mod Ver: ZMOD
Build Number: CM7-ZDZIHU-MOD.
I know the Basebands are location dependent, well some of them. I live in the South West of the UK if it's important
Many Thanks
Paul
You could try switching to another rom, who knows, or maybe switching to another sim card

Yeah I have tried 2 other sims from different operators and also about 5 different ROMS.. (Wolf, Ultima, TEAM etc) No change... I just wondered what the process was to try a different BB.. (lower version).. If not I may have a HW problem..
Thanks for the response.

Try downgrading to 2.1 with baseband .67/.54 and see if that resolves your issue. If not, then it may indeed be a hardware fault.

Three UK branded S2 default modem?

Hello all
I'm just wondering what modem do the three branded s2 handsets come preinstalled with in the uk? I'm trying to find good modems for my s2 but cannot find something that would work as well as I would want it to. For example the other day my mate with a wildfire, on the same network had full bars of signal, whereas I had barely 1 bar. I was using Ki4 at the time, now I changed back to kl1 (im on checkrom v6 atm, but planning to go to cm9 again). Can anyone direct me to the modem.bin file or a stock rom file from the Three branded handset, i'd like both a gingerbread stock and ics stock rom from them if possible. If they are modems which are easily available please share the names with me.
Thank you
EDIT:
I tried a number of modems, which includes NELP2 which is meant to be good with three, although I don't know why I have had this problem on several roms before, where my signal randomly dissapears and goes to emergency only calls. Can anyone help with that also?

I recommend NELP4. It is designed for Three but many UK users use it as it supports great battery life and speeds + signal strength. I'm on O2 and using NELP4 and have great reception in places where there was no reception on LQ5/LQ6
modem signal dropping
hi,
You could try using ki4 modem ive been using this even after rooting my phone (originally used on GBrom) and had no probs with signal drop or overheating as some users have iasues with various modems.

Help with poor radio/reception quality when hsdpa.

Hi. Hope you can help me with something which is really annoying me.
Got my s3 right at the beginning on o2 with o2 firmware. When making phone calls the reception was crystal clear. I have updated various different versions of ics and jb and ever since the first update a few months ago the reception/radio quality has been poor. It started when I flashed a non o2 firmware, I flashed a stock btu firmware. Since then I have tried various firmwares on various providers and always have the same problem. If I change my phone to gsm only the call quality is fantastic but as soon as I put to auto it sets to hsdpa and goes back to poor call quality, even if I have a full bar for reception. I have since changed the csc to btu on phone and flashed various firmwares again and I still have the problem. I cannot have a £500 phone and be forced to use a 2g signal!
If it was poor from day one I would blame o2 reception but I have lived in this house for 7 years and never had this with other phones, also as said this phone was great originally but after flashing various firmwares it's rubbish now. I am currently using the new o2 jb update released today (my phone csc is btu) I hoped this flash would resolve issue but it hasn't.
Hope this makes sense and hope anyone can give me any tips to resolve my problem! Current signal strength 89dBa 12asu and still poor.
Thanks in advance.

have you tried to flash a O2 modem? maybe it does the trick!
I have the exact same problem however I am on the 3 network. My phone was working perfectly, then I installed the latest 3 branded jellybean ROM, had the exact same problem as you reverted back to stock ICS and the problem is still there. Can you tell me is the bad quality call both ways or just one way? For me it can hear people perfectly well, however the receiving end there is very bad quality. Also my Internet is incredibly slow.
Mine is the other way round, who I speaking to can hear me clearly but it's terrible from my end.
I have used Odin to flash a whole o2 Rom by clicking the pda option but it made no difference. Doesn't matter what stock Rom I flash and change the csc and factory reinstall it won't go back to how it was originally. As mentioned I can resolve the problem by using 2g/gsm network but then using the internet is terribly slow. Should have left it alone!
Have you changed the CSC to both your Original O2 CSC and the BTU CSC? How is your internet speed while on 3G? mine is so slow, half the time it just displays the 'Page timed out' page
My phone was originally o2u csc on o2 firmware and was good.flashed a btu firmware and this made it bad reception so flashed back to o2 firmware and it was very poor still so I flashed back to the btu firmware and changed csc to btu but I still have bad call quality. I presume because I flashed a o2 firmware from sammobile it will be back to a o2 modem?
My 3g data is about 4mb down and 2mb up.
Can anyone help us?
My ping is over 1000 and my download rate is 740kb/s and upload is around 27kbs while on H+ clearly this is very bad. I've tried different radios to no avail.
Since flashing to the latest jb btu firmware my problem has gone!
