Is it normal that the SGS2 i9100G Model has a very weak signal reception, not only with WLAN but also with normal mobile phone connection (Talking etc.) ? On my previous Motorola Defy I didn't had these problems. Now everywhere the signal is weaker than before on the other phone.
Is there a good ROM & Kernel (too many to know which is best and which not) that could currently help fix that and make it a bit better again ?
Thanks in advance.

try flashing diff modems ,one might help...
Unfortunately I am not so much the "flashing" kinda guy, only what I need to. I wouldn't know where to find these files or which to use for the G Version. I suppose I need the international versions for that, since I am from Germany, right ?

my phone's data is so weak indoor, so i want to install a different modem. I noticed that t959v and t959 cannot share the same rom, so i'm wondering if it's ok to install a t959 modem to my t959v, KB5, for instance...
p.s. English is not my first language, so it's a little difficult for me to find the answer among huge namber of posts, pls help me on this
I doubt it.
anybody knows?
Well I remember a thread in the Development section not too long ago about a guy who used Gt- I9000 modems since he lived in Europe. My say in this? I say why not? You can always use Odin to save yourself
You won't be able to use the modem. The t959V uses different hardware radios for gps, signal, and wifi

Hello everyone. I got my SGS2 just a few days ago so I dont know much about it and I was wondering, what is the best modem for Europe? I got the phone with custom ROM already and the modem is XXLS6. Don't know if it's good for Europe or not.
I tried searching for answer in google, but with no luck.
Thanks in advance to everyone who at least tries to answer my foolish question.
the best thing is to try a few different modems and see which suits you. modems have different pros and cons depending on location.
The thing is I don't even know where to start. I see a list of 50+ modems. And it would take weeks to test them all.
Doesn't your current modem work properly? If not, maybe you can ask in the specific thread(s) about modems which one is the most used in your country.

Well the thing is that with this phone I get no network while I'm at work. Network was ok when I was on my old SGS. And I was thinking that was caused by modem.
Try to found out something about a better modem in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
I thought there was a comment on the first page about some modems that usually work quite well in Europe. Good luck.

PBVLP7 gives me very good 2G signal (better than NELP3) but worse 3G. I'll be testing NELP4 soon

in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16980217&postcount=5 you can see "RECOMMENDED MODEMS TO TRY:" - give them a try or just google: s2 modem and your location/carrier. In worst scenario you'll just be back to this thread
test and share what you've learned
I'm thinking to swiching to CM (again), but the last time i had a lost of signal losts. I think that the modem can help to improve the quality of the signal, is that true? and if it is, what modem should I use? (I'm from spain)

Yes, that's true. The modem that works best for you isn't always the one that comes with the rom, so you can look for modem-threads for the S2 to find out which one is the most suitable for your region.

Hello people,
For the past few months I'm having this issue which I find extremely [email protected]!!
Every few minutes, my phones just loses internet connectivity - the 3g signal appears to be normal during all the time, thing is, whenever I try to use any internet application - it just hangs. and then, after a minute or so, connectivity is back(again, for a few minutes).
I have tried flashing so many versions of modems - some improved it a little but most of them didn't help at all, or even made it worse.
Hopefully someone could help me with that as I'm that close to give up on this and buy a new phone.
Thanks in advanced.

Which firmware are you running on your phone? What modem do you have right now and where do you live? Do you have problems with all apps that use internet-connection? Do the problems dissapear when you use wifi?
Just some information would be usefull

Yop.. forgot to mention a 'few' things...
Model: GT-I9100
Rom: RootBox V3.8
Kernel: 3.0.31-CM-g7ce58e6
Baseband: I9100DXLPB
Android version: 4.2.2
I live in Israel, bought the phone in Thailand.
I tried flashing all available Israeli modems(from various cell phone providers) - none helped.
Problem disappear when I move to WiFi - as 3g connectivity moves to background...
Thanks.
I assume you've read the Rootbox threads to see if other people experience signalproblems?
Did you compare the connectivity with other roms? Stock-based roms for example...

I've been hovering the internet for weeks in search for a solution..
That's not a RootBox issue in particular as I tried using various roms...

That seems quite weird.. The only thing I can come up with is 1) a hardware problem, or 2) you live in an area where the signal is crap
Hopefully someone else knows anything.. Good luck.

Neither of them thanks anyways.
Anyone else...?
If you've only tried flashing the modems bundled with stock roms from Israeli carriers, you haven't done nearly enough. There are literally dozens of modems available, you need to start flashing as many as you need to. This isn't going to fix itself magically.

I haven't flashed only Israeli modems but others as well. I've tried around 20 so far...
Question is, which direction should I choose? should I look for Thai modems or IL?
That depends. I know Israeli carriers sold (still sell ?) the I9100T, are you sure you don't have one of these ? If that's the case, I'd be trying modems bundled with roms released by the Australian & NZ carriers which sold the I9100T (I have one), and yes, the Thai ones as well.
If you do have an I9100, then keep trying any/every modem you can get your hands on. If it's not a carrier-side issue, this is really all you can try, unless you want to start messing around with RIL's as well. I've not found any difference in connectivity doing this personally (tho many people have) but if you get to the point of trying every single modem & you're sure it isn't a carrier issue, you might as well try. But I would leave this till last given many people find their connectivity messed up even worse by flashing an incompatible RIL.
hello all so in my other post I mention I briked my phone so here it is.
I had to flash a stock jellybean rom with odin and now my wifi seems to only pick up certain frequencies.
example I have a F3 that shows up all the wifi around it but then my note doesn't lucky for me my work wifi is one of the only ones it picks up I think it is due to the radio/modem any one have any ideas
thank you in advance
