Just wondering what is the best stock ROM to select for my SGS2..
I9100XXKG6 or XXKH3?
Im currently using KH3 but just want to know if KG6 is the better one?
Thanks in advance.
I believe the version names go in alphabetical order, and numerical. H is after G in the alphabet, so KH3 is the newest version right now. You look at the number after the letter. Someone correct me if I am wrong .

modems can be specific to regions. So KG3 can be the best modem with good signal,wifi,data etc and KH3 need not even though it is the latest. try the ones you want and choose the best modem that works for your region/service provider.

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 .

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

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.

Also maybe becoz of CSC as well?

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....

i will try for sure, any link to download?
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.

Hey!
So after going from Jb leak, which had XXLS6 (or LSJ6 can't remember) modem to CM10.1 I decided to switch to XXLQ6 which is the modem that came with the phone. Reason for this is I thought leak modem was for Poland and such areas only and I live in North Europe so I figured LQ6 would work better. I also thought calls sounded weird on cm and tried if this would solve it.
Well, it didn't. I think it's a rom "problem" and tbh it isn't even a problem because calls work fine, I just didn't remember having that sort of complete silence when no one was speaking (no static sound as before). Hope that makes sense
Now I'm thinking that ls6 will probably be the modem here as well, or the successor of it will be, so should I use that with CM10.1? It worked fine and battery was good too, or should I just stick with the old LQ6 since my ril matches with it, although this apparently means nothing. There's also option C) "Use whichever you want to"
I heard that this modem (LS6) has a battery drain issue for some users. I used it for a week and I didn't noticed any major issue personally
Bvlp7 is awesome, use this to find modems http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950 also don't change any rils
Modems are location dependent, so try to find people who are in your area with good signal or your stock carrier modem

I would try it . Make note of your current modem and give it a try. Take note to try it for a few days for the best results

Perhaps try the M250K!
I'm using it since several month and it is great.
But I searched very long for the best modem for me!

Your current baseband should work fine since it is unlocked.
You can't put an I9100 modem on an I777. They are incompatible. However, you can put any number of I777 modems on there. They are all available in a sticky thread in the development forum. As azeem40 said, the one you have on there now should work okay. If the person who is receiving the phone is tech savvy, then perhaps you could show them where to get the modems and how to change it, so that they can pick the one that works the best for them.

Thank you very much, i thought that i9100 might not be compatible but since it is unlocked i felt it should work fine but was not quite sure and since i am giving it to one who does not know a bit about this stuff i thought if i could get some answers here i could make those changes back there to solve any issues, thank you once again.
You can refer the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361393 for i777 compatible modems.
