Hey guys once the AT&T GSII is released will we be able to use that modem for our international GSIIs? And do you guys think it will result in better signal/better speeds? Thanks - currently on KG6 modem which seems to be the best for AT&T (KH3 sucks!)

Hey what's your HSUPA speeds comparing the KG6 vs KH3 modem?
Depends on area mostly, but I get like 4mbs on KG6 (which sucks) and like 1mbs or less on KH3

I wanted to bring this thread to attention again. Anyone have this available?
It will be hard to say until you have a modem from the AT&T version and test it. It can't hurt to test, but the Captivate's modem wasn't interchangable with the I9000, so it's hard to say.

I have been getting alot of wakelocks on the dialer, so i eventually figured it should be the modem. Also I barely ever have full reception bars when this phone is supposed to be a beast from that aspect lol
So i was wondering, which modems are best used in canada with fido? I live in Ottawa Ontario, any feedback will be appreciated!
Thanks
KI3 I am on rogers its running with amazing speed and reception

How about searching around a bit.
The Australian thread has heaps of info about modems.
I can tell you that KI3 and KL1 have preformed best for me on Optus using I9100.

All good.
I've found that Google search finds me links better than XDAs search so I can understand where you're coming from.

it very much depends on the reception and the coverage, especially in countries like Australia.
i've tried several but there has been no findings.
the best way for you i believe is switching into Telstra
Why telstra?
And I'm in sydney bondi junction

What the he'll are you talking about!?
We were talking about searching xda for answers and links.
My Optus coverage has been awesome and you couldn't pay me enough to go back to Telstra.

It's pretty common knowledge that Telstra have by far the best network in Australia.
Coverage and speed easily out do the alternatives.

It's true though. On average, you're going to get better coverage and data speeds on Telstra than Optus.
Simple reason is that have a better established mobile infrastructure with more mobile towers than any of the competitors.
I was on Optus last year and during peak times (lunch time or after 5pm) it was almost impossible to get a decent internet connection. I couldn't even browse the web. After switching to Telstra, I've had no troubles whatsoever. Even on the train ride home I've got constant coverage and fast data speeds. I watch youtube a lot on the way home and it's never once cut out.
The reason i asked about optus modem firmware is because my internet is crawling to the point it gets disconnected everytime. I'm currently with XXKL1 modem but i see no difference with the speed. I get 1Mb with speedtest.net on average while I used to get between 5 to 7 Mb in Israel with Orange and same phone.

Actually Telstra hits HSDPA+ Vodafone hits HSDPA, while Optus barely hits 3g so yeah just saying. Just use Intratech's post and find one that matches

Optus for me gets H always and a few times H+ and I'm in a rural area not Sydney CBD.
Totally depends on what area etc as to what you get with what carrier. I moved to Optus from Telstra because of better reception in my area.
Some time ago I couldn't get reception with Vodafone but when I went into the outback Vodafone was the best because they spent a fortune on their network to service outback hiways.
Really kl1 should be good on the I9100 but if you have I9100T your better off with one of the modems that came out with that model. All that info is in the modem and aussie threads.

It's pretty common knowledge that Telstra are by far the biggest rip off I've seen anywhere, let alone Australia.
I'll continue to enjoy paying 1/4 of the minimum plan for Telstra, while getting full bars in my house - all while I happen to be in 'another' Telstra blackspot (My parents and friends have no reception anywhere in my house).
They're a joke - if I want 3g connectivity I go for Optus (because of the price difference), when I recently lived in the city I went for 4g Vodafone, all with great coverage/downloads and all far cheaper than the 'alternative'.
Either way, I'm really confused why you posted that when the original post was simply asking for a I9100 modem for a phone on the Optus network...
I'm even more confused as to why you necroed a >2 yr old thread to make a point that's purely subjective/a matter of opinion & a case of YMMV
Just wondering if anyone can tell me which modem I would be best off using with cm9 . I live in north east of UK and I'm on t-mobile

Really depends on your region to be honest. Preferably use the same modem as the UK ROM (LPQ) but then again, your phone might react better with other modems. For example, I tried LPQ and got horrible data speeds (300-400k/sec). Switched to LP7, I effectively doubled the speeds I had on gingerbread (4500k/sec)
So test them out.. And see which one reacts best for you!
What's your experiences with modems in the UK? I'm on Vodafone and not getting great reception and more often than not stuck on 2G which kinda sucks.
Any advice?
I'm on Omega ROM and just flashed LF5 which has probably been the worst modem of the lot.
Thanks
Dxlea is doing the business for me squire however... im tmobile

Thanks

this says more about voda's 3g coverage to be honest, i havenever had good 3g coverage on voda, then again i have never had what i call good 3g on any phone i have had. Things may improve now the are partnering with 02, network coverage will be doubled in some areas.
I've currently got DXLEA modem. It's nothing special, I get OK signal but hardly ever get above G in terms of network speed
Was fine in my Galaxy S, seems to have gone downhill since I got the S3. I also got it replaced because of pink tint, but the network speed was the same on both handsets
Nele4 that what I'm using on o2 signal is rubbish on the s3 vs s2

Samsung has source posted for both. What are the differences between these models?
I have an SGH-T999 and it's a blue T-Mo 16GB model (dual-core/2GB ram).
I believe the T999V is the Canadian AWS version.

The SGH-T999v is for WIND in Canada I believe.

According to the following article, it appears that T999 is the US TMo model, and the T999v may be a Canada-specific model.

At first I thought the two source codes may be the same (just identical copies), but they are actually two different sizes.
I know for the SGS2 Bell Canada would have the I9100M compared to the I9100 international version. For the I9000 Bell had the I9100M.
The V could signify its for Wind Mobile or Mobilicity? Usually the firmware for the I9100 would work flawlessly on the I9100M only difference was some modem files had to be borrowed from the M roms. Same for the I9000.
Continuing with the trend i would wager a guess that the I999 firmwares would work on the I999V. Whatever the differences are if your having specific problems (likely radio if anything) just borrow the modem file and away you go.
Why all the different versions? Because specific carriers like to tweak their phones just a little. FFC, no FFC, NFC or no, Specific frequency bands, theres lots of options and each one needs a slightly different number / letter.
Hope it helped! (If it did hit thanks!)

I have the s3, from Videotron, and my model# is also SGH-T999v, and I just assumed the v was for videotron, but I guess all Canadian models have it.
