Aboute a month a go i bought a galaxy s2 phone.it came with GB 2.3.4 and for a while all was well.
When the update for ICS 4.0.3 came through Kies, i decided to update. The procedure when fine but.....since then my signal has been rather poor. I get four bars ocasionaly mostly it has three. If i start the data or the wifi connections, the signal tends to drop.
I thought the official rom was rubbish so i changed it to Resurrection Remix 1.9....but the problem persists.
I'm thinking of switching back to GB, to see if that would fix my problem.
Does anybody have any ideea why this problem occured in the first place?
Thanks,

Chances are the different modem in the ICS rom might be causing the issues, assuming you can't pin it down to other sources I.E network issues.
Try a bunch of different modems until you find one that works; search on here/Google, they come in CWM flashable packages & take all of a minute to flash. You flash one, test it out for a bit - properly; over fair amount of time (couple of hrs) & preferably @ different locations, if it's no good you flash another one, etc, etc.
Edit to add - Given you didn't have these issues with the 2.3.4 stock rom you were using, find out which modem is in that rom & then search for a CWM flashable modem package on here & flash that one first. Might well fix your problems rather than flashing a whole rom. Yes, you can use GB modems with ICS roms & VV
Thanks for the quick response.
Unfortunately I didn't note the original rom/modem....so I have no ideea which one it was
I found on the forum that there are a couple of modems ( These modems are KE7, KH3, KI3 and KI4 )that work well so i will give them a try first.
Hopefully this will solve my problem.
I will post the results as soon as I have them.
Cosmin.

Good morning everyone
Seems to be that my GSII has serious issues running his stock rom (continuous reboots, not-working 3g etc.). I tried several factory resets, but nothing worked 100% . CM fixes some of my problems, but the only full-working custom rom is MIUI, that seems to be stable and very neat. Despite that I still prefer the custom rom (yes I'm probably insane), or a more traditional one like CM and I really would like to understand what kind of problems can generate such a massive amount of errors and reboots.
Could be a hardware problem? MIUI works fine, I can't explain why I still got problems with other ROMs.
Sorry for my bad English, thanks in advance
Without telling us the version of the stock rom you are using, we can never give you any answers.
I'm currently using
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] #2 Kernel
Gingerbread.xwkj3 Build
That's not the original stock ROM, just one I found (here on xda I guess...)
Is there some kind of hardware-check I can run by myself, just for exclude manifacturing defects?
if you want to check to exclude hardware defects, u could go to the dialer and press *#0*# .. it will give u a list of tests which allows u to pinpoint any hardware defects ( if it exists) .... but if the problem is with the 3g, you could reflash your modem..
Initial problems were strictly connected with 3g's use, after a few hours of use i've noticed slowdowns using sms, then it started crashing and random rebooting. That's the same reason why I initially switched from original ROM to CM. I mean, I know that Samsung's ROM is not the best one at all, but I can't figure why it's so instable on my device.

As that the oldest stock rom try a newer one .

Updating: now my GSII works with latest stable Cyanogen, except for the 3g that's still not working. Should I reflash modem, as suggested by roophz?
That old kernel is known to cause random reboots.
Update to a newer stock rom.

Update 2: I switched from the old stock rom to the latest cyanogen stable version, then to a newer stock rom and then back to MIUI again. Still no life signals from 3g.
How is that possible?
Hey everybody...
A few weeks ago (i think after the update to ICS) i realized that i dont have any satellite connection.
I tried different stock roms (Gingerbread and ICS), different Modems, different Kernels (CF Root, SpeedMod, Stock)... Still no success...
What could it be?
Check out faster fix in the Play store
also take a look at this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447599
ive always used then when ive flashed a new rom/updated.
Still no work for me. I dont have any idea what the problem could be...
Thanks anyways, hope someone else can help
Do you have gps.conf and sirfgps.conf files (in system/etc)?
Okay, i think im a little bit further now. I went back to Stock Rom, and Stock Kernel (LP7). And it worked fine!
Now i flashed the SpeedMod Kernel, no functionality again.
With the CF Root Kernel (CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5), still no functionality.
Hi,
Sorry if my question looks noobish but I can't find anything relevant. I was running NeatRom Lite for a while without major issues except some touchwizz FCs, and decided to install the latest Omega. Now from times to times I got disconnected from the network and I can't even register on any available carrier.
1) Do you think a new modem will solve the problem ? I thought this was RIL related but the application Get RIL is only for AOSP/AOKP roms...
2) Are all modems working with XXLSJ ? The signal in France is really bad so I'd really like to change it...
Thanks in advance

Modem that comes with LSJ is LS6..I never had a problem with it. Try another modem like LQ6 .And i have used neatrom lite for weeks. But i never had a single FC, Specially with touchwiz. Are you sure you did a full wipe before installing the rom??
Ok I'll give a try to LQ6, thanks !
Hello everyone. I've tried many modems (XXLS8, NELP4, XXKI4, BVLP7 etc.) but each of them had some different issue. First was loosing network, with second the front speaker stopped working, with some I wasn't able to hang up the phone - the red button only minimize "the call" to status bar... Just noone worked fine :\ I don't know what to do yet! Any advices, does RIL have to match with modem? (I have CM 10.1.3 stable)
I've had these issues when I've accedently flashed Samsung modems on CM ROM. If you're on CM or AOKP type ROM - reflash the ROM to get the default modem back. Don't flash other modems unless you're 100% sure it's made for non-stock ROMs.
Hey, I also had some issues tried more than 5 different modems that were supposed to be good and none worked. But then i started to go through all of the modems that are linked on the cyanogenmod wiki site for the i9100 and the 4 one solved it.
i think you should just keep on trying different modems. If you have issues with all 12, you can start looking somwhere else. Also don't touch the ril its apparently not a good idea.

I had the exact same experience with my wife's phone that I bought of ebay. I even flashed a variety of RIL's (radio interface layers) and different modems. I'd never had the problem with my SGS3 before, and have hundred of different roms on it.
Anyway it seemed to be a kernel issue and after trying ever combination possible I found that wifi would always work perfectly on any stock based rom or any CM based rom (assuming that hey used the CM kernel). It wouldn't even work on a CM rom if I flashed a different kernel such as Yank's, Boeffla or Googy.
Also at the time I trawled the net looking for answers and found one or two others that had the same issue, but could still use stock Sammy or CM. Strange... almost felt like it was an odd batch.
