this was what my phone had originally i found i had better battery life with it.

With the exception of Streakdroid, which has its own baseband and amss files that MUST be flashed for it to work properly, the only way to get a particular baseband back is to flash a stock ROM. So you will need to flash the 339 ROM to get the 339 baseband back.
will do, thanks buddy

But to correct you, the basebands with the best battery life are the newer ones, 354 and 360... if you're battery life is low on those it's because you've installed something and it's sucking your battery, not the baseband

sorry about this thread but i am getting a bit confused with flashing roms on my s2. my handset is not even 3 weeks old and i am already sending it back due to the drainage of the battery. what i mean by that is that i must of flashed the handset like over 40 times till i found the rom that would not drain my battery so fast. i tried cognition, villainrom, batista and everything and my battery was going like hell. within like ten minutes of just having wifi on and just doing my normal browsing my battery from fully charged went down to 85% and that is with data package off and hardly any widgets on. and all the time my display was the highest thing in my battery stats taking the most usage of my battery.
anyway i am sending the handset back and hopefully they will send me a new one. what i need to know is that can install any rom on my new handset once i receive it or do i need to find one which matches my firmware. ie say im ke7 do i need to find a rom with baseband ke7 or can i just flash it anyway say with kg6 baseband?]
sorry if my questions sound stupid i just do not want to flash for the sake of it if its going to harm my handset again.
cheers
Multiple flashing is a bad move to solve battery drain .
You can flash any rom .
Baseband is the modem not the firmware .
Why mess up the phone the minuet you get it in your hands again .Far better to read and learn how and what.
better battery stats .

thanks for replying back JJ and yeah i kinda realized now that it was a bad move flashing alot but can you help me with this then. why is it when i flashed a custom rom my display was sky high in battery usage display and now that im back on stock its normal and i mean 30% and lower?
i had an iphone 4 and was into my jailbreaking and etc but i feel like rooting and flashing is a whole lot more confusing or shall i say pro wise.
[QUOTE=JJEgan
Baseband is the modem not the firmware .
but does the baseband matter in what rom to flash though? say i have ke7 baseband do i need to find a custom rom with ke7 or can i upgrade it to the baseband the rom comes with?

No you can use any modem and even flash it on its own .
KG3 7 KG6 probably the best current modems .
A flash requires two further processes . One charge battery fully . Two zero battery stats then the phone must be used for a week or so to get an accurate indication of battery life .
I believe the key to good battery life starts with a good overnight battery drain when the phones is sleeping . If the drain is high here its going to be even higher in use . Aim for 2% drain over twelve hours sleep if its about 20% then stuff is connecting or waking the phone up .

i have already sent the handset bk today so hopefully they will send me the new one by the end of the week. problem is when i put the stock rom back in and upgraded the firmware through kies officially everything on my battery stats looked normal. so i really do not what the problem was with the handset when i flashed a custom rom and made the battery drain quickly? and also worried that seeing that they might send me the handset back and then i would not be able to flash a custom rom? whats your advice please JJ
Wait and see is all i can say .

Okay, I haven't been able to fully understand this so maybe someone can explain it:
I am using KG2 (Villian Rom). It's a Bell SGS2.
Now, I'm wondering if I can change to KI8 or something else later, or will this phone only work on KG2?
Battery right now, is 8hrs with fairly heavy use. I was expecting 10-12, and I have a feeling its the kernel + ROM. I'm thinking of going back to a rooted stock, but I need to know if I need to use KG2?
Can I change the modem/baseband/etc? I don't quite understand how the versions work.
If I can change it, what SHOULD I be running?
Edit: Take a look at the graph... Maybe with this kind of usage, almost 8hr is all I can really expect. If that's true, then maybe we can just answer the question based solely on the kernel issue. I'd still like to know, to be fair.

1. yes you can flash to KI8 if you like.
2. No, you do not need to use kG2 you can upgrade to any rom you like. Each has pros and cons that you needs to try out for yourself.
3 yes you can change the modem=baseband, firmware or kernal to any combination you like.. versions are based on the original firmware version released.
4. best for battery life so far are the latest releases Like KJ 2 or 3.
if you lower the brightness levels, you can extend the battery a little further.

There are many thread about battery life, such as => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16973603
One of the first recommendations is to flash the latest official ROM.
As I want to stay as "stock" as possible, I am running a new stock ROM (XWKJ3) and a custom kernel, which is optimized for a better battery life => SpeedMod K2-18-test8.
Here is the corresponding thread of hardcore, the developer of this kernel => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182498&highlight=Speedmod
So, I recommend to flash the latest official ROM (you can get those as non-wipe versions in Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278).
Then test is as "untouched" stock ROM for performance and battery life.
If you are still not satisfied with it, then flash a custom kernel optimized for ... what you mostly want.
Good luck !

Thanks a lot. To flash the kernel, should I use ODIN or can it be done handset side? Which should I do first, kernel or ROM? Or will some of the ROMs have the kernels in? The thread has a lot of extraneous information and I can't seem to understand EXACTLY what I need to do. I've only ever done ROMS through recovery.
If I install a new kernel, it'll most likely work with the current rom (so for example, flashing a new KJ kernel, and a decent modem (is there one?) ) right? Or do I have it backwards?
I don't mind if I wipe or not, everything is in the cloud... One thing I DO notice however, is that ROMs outside of MIUI don't re-install market apps automatically. But that's something I don't mind doing, anyway.

As per above, if I flash a whole stock ROM, will it replace the kernel as well?
Does anyone know wich kernel is the best on the virtuous rom??
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I've checked with Battery Monitor Widget and my phone is draining around 86ma but apparently it should be around 2-10ma.
I think I've found the culprit, which is lack of signal/no data connection but in my house I'm ALWAYS in a 3G area with FULL coverage, so I don't understand
I'm using CheckROM V6 with modem XXKI4. Could it be the modem? Oh and the kernel is Siyah 2.6.13
Thanks in advance!
Yeah, try a different modem and update your Kernel. The latest Siyah kernel version is 3.3.2

isn't 3.3.2 for ICS?
Yes, it is.
So don't flash it.
MFG Chabstyle
So maybe upgrade to ICS, flash another modem and update kernel?
I think it is the best way.

I'm sure ICS drains more battery, does it not?
battery usage/drain differs from phone to phone.. Each phone is customised by the user with different settings etc.. For me ICS gives a better battery life. I have tried Siyah kernel, Fluxi kernel and CM9 kernel. And I get the best battery life with CM9 kernel.
ics
Ics is less battery discharging when using wifi or 3g
But for other things like web browser, gaming
It diffrent from each user, some users are more
Comfortable with the battery life others not
But overall its alot better exprience
Hey guys,
I'm here because I'm new to flashing, rooting and whatever comes within this territory. I own a Samsung Galaxy S2 which was bought from a retail store in New Zealand. It's not an imported phone however Vodafone is its "Carrier" of choice.
What I want to do, is flash the device with this ROM because I am having battery drain issues with the Stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware. I have tried everything, removing apps, wiped cache partition a few times, but when Wifi is on 24/7 it drains from 100% to 0% in literally 8-9 hours flat. That's with me doing absolutely nothing with the phone.
I installed BetterBatteryStats and Battery Monitor Widget. The latter app shows my phone discharging -8.0% while Wifi is on and -0.2% when it's off. BetterBatteryStats doesn't indicate anything that is obvious.
So, I'm hoping a ROM like Lighnting may help. Plus, I love it's theme, look and feel.
Down to my real questions.
If I have any issues during flashing of the ROM, can I return the phone back to its stock firmware?
What is the procedure to do so?
Can anything go wrong?
Thank you
STEALA
Here's couple screenshots of my battery usage. Yesterday there was an update so I updated. Wiped cache and factory data reset. All I installed was AirDroid and setup Gmail.
The drain is quite excessive.
you can revert by flashing a stock rom on odin
heres a link to FW
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=4#regiona
Flash a modified kernel cf root with odin to get root,CWM, backup your current rom then flash litening, thats what i did, look for you modem here to flash after the rom to get a better signal

Hiya, thanks for the information. I looked up some YouTube videos and it all makes sense. The only problem is I couldn't find my Kernel from the above website? See attached image? Is that XWLP1 or LPI (i)?
Thanks
Can anyone please help me with the above query about my modem?
Thanks

Oops! Thanks for that.
Well, couldn't get access to Lite'ning ROM website which left me feeling disappointed, as I did want this ROM. I however ended up successfully CF rooted my SGS2 and flashed CyanogenMod v9 Stable. This is the guide that helped me with this: http://www.techethon.com/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-9-galaxy-s2-i9100-version-cm9-ics/
I'm looking forward to playing with this and seeing if my battery drain lasts longer, with Wi-Fi on.
Hi
I have CM11 on my phone and work great but i have like many others battery life problem. I saw on another thread that the problem can fix with flashing old .48 radio. I dont know what that means exactly.
How can i see what radio/modem I have now? If I flash new one , phone will run in CM 11 anymore? If yes, then where can i download a modem/radio to flash?

Go to the betterbatterystats thread follow the instructions in the OP and find out for real your battery issue rather than guessing.
