I am now with Vodaphone in SYD
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)

Hope it helps!

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.

[Q] Which modem is better in UK for 3 network?

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 .
jje
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

[Q] Best modem for australia

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
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.

[Q] KG6 vs KH3

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.

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

Any recommendations for a modem to use with o2/giffgaff ??

I'm just using Omega rom with the modem from that and it works beautifully, always get signal and strong internet speeds. Much better than my S2 when I used to flash new radios
A friend of mine has a O2 phone and i think he has XXLE5 on it
You cannot be recommended the best Modem. Even from people on the same network, they are not in the same are, going to the same places you go.
You have to work out which one is best for you. There is no right answer.
