Hey guys,
I'm using Resurrection Remix ICS 2.4 and I am experiencing a very low signal strength on the network 3 in the UK. One of my friends are using the same carrier with his galaxy s2 and rom however he is getting full signal and I am only achieving 1/2 bars and 3 outside.
What can I do to fix this problem?
Thanks,

Try comparing you and your friend's 'About phone' in settings. You might have a signal problem because of your phone's Baseband version.
Try a different modem. The best version for me might not be the best for you. KH3 is a good modem to try.

Thank you Chris, I'll install the KH3 Modem and I'll get back to you on if it works or not
Fekken i'll check with those settings tomorrow

I have checked that the baseband version is the same and it wasn't, however, I installed the XXKPA modem that he was running and i'm still having the same problem :/

Just wondering what the best modem is for ATT and some other question about modems.
Right now im running wanam lite kj1 5.6 with ICS domination theme. I have KI4 modem flashed because i was on villanrom which i might go back to because it has better battery life.
Does the modem affect the ROM in anyway? just wondering because most roms have a modem prefix to them on the development forum. or is there a certain modem better in every senario?
Thanks for your help!
I too would like to know the best modem for at&t. My current one (Current official uk unbranded) seems to completely lose signal after a phone call or just randomly, it quickly reestablishes connection but still annoying.

Have you tried Odin to push the uckj4 leak modem for the i777? All the 9100 modems I e used on my i777 turn the radio off when a voice call occurs then reconnects after call fails.

Maybe i9100 modems just dont work on i777 and vice versa. Hopefully someone could correct me but i guess its worth a try. Is it better to flash modems via odin then CMW? and another question whats the difference between a modem and a kernel? I know on some level the kernel has something to do with the firmware and the modem has to do with the baseband, but im still unsure about the difference.
Thanks again!
Also have the same problem. The 3g lost the signal randomly. my baseband is "UNKNOWN" . Any idea?

I'm assuming these guys are running real I9100s on AT&T (otherwise they're in the wrong forum) - pushing an I777 modem will likely completely break them.

Hey, did you ever find out the answer to this question?

I'm on baseband XXKI3, running my I9100 on AT&T... don't have any issues. No call drops, no signal drops after calls are done, etc. Works fine.

Funny - I have XXKI3 as well on AT&T and periodically I get drops and it's almost always just as syncing is initiated.
@robsw
I noticed you are located in Chicago. the problem could just be that AT&T sucks horribly in the downtown area. specifically anywhere near River North or the loop. I have tried just about every available modem and I still have data connection issues in those areas. Even friends with iPhones comain about poor data in those areas.
I use the ki1 modem on my I9100 on at&t in louisiana. Ive found this modem gives me the best signal in my area. I did use ki4 for a while but i kept getting dropped calls inside my house. Now with ki1 no more dropped calls

I live in Champaign,IL. Data drop/hang issue always there on KG2, KI3, KI4 modem. I had data issues even I have full bar of signal. But I do realize that data drop issue is location related. Every time I go to the same place, I got slow or data drop problem. Ha! maybe something isn't configure nicely between the tower and our S2.
yea, I was in Chicago this weekend, kept turning on Airplane mode and back on..
at&t is making me pretty mad.

Baseband version
I9100XXLPH
XXLPH Kernel as well.
I am in Colorado and my service is great. I dont have much experience with the GB radios because as soon as I got the phone Iw ent to ICS and never went back
It may be worth checking the sticker under the battery to confirm the phones version. In Australia, New Zealand, Israel and some other countries they also sell the I9100T which is just the same as the international version but works better on a T model modem. There are plenty of them linked in the Aussie thread in general.

I'm in the North suburbs. This most often occurs when I'm driving. The call will drop and more often than not, when I glance down at the phone, data will be syncing.
Hi there everyone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII. I live in Australia, have an unbranded phone, and am currently with TPG as my phone provider.
I have been experiencing these problems for a long time, and after trying to figure out what's wrong with it, it's time to ask for help. Haha.
These problems started after I flashed a new modem after installing a ROM. Previous to flashing, the reception had been fine. After flashing the ROM, and not the modem, my reception was still as good as it was when I first received the phone. However, after flashing a new modem, the reception dropped significally. Where my brother also with a i9100 could receive full bars of HSPA/3G, I could only receive 2/3 bars of G. Where he would have 3 bars of G (in our house, it has this stupid insulation that really nerfs reception), I would receive absolutely no reception.
I have tried countless modems (pretty much ever modem since K13, testing for reception, but never have much luck, maybe a 1 bar fluctuation up/down).
Do you have any ideas what could be wrong? How I could fix it? Thanks very much.
find the modem your brother have ,download it from the intratech and flash it
have you tried KE7?
I got a good expereance with this on Data speed, but I dont know about reception strenght.
go through discussions of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
He hasn't updated for a while, and is using the K13 modem. I have tried it, along with the K14, and KE7 already.
do a factory reset without the sim and sd card....
I tried factory resetting without the SD and Sim card, but it still didn't work.
Any other ideas? Haha.
Do you have i9100 or i9100t

The international i9100. The phone was originally bought from Vodafone, then unlocked with a code.

I haven't, maybe that's the next thing I'll try. But does your box say i9100, or i9100t? Mine just says i9100. Haha.
Edit: Omggg I love you. Hahaha. I flashed a T-modem, and now I'm getting full reception. Thanks somuch!

My samsung galaxy s2 is not even a month old and it keeps dropping calls.
What I have observed is that the calls get dropped when I am in vodafone india edge network but the phone works fine when it is in 3g network(we need to enable 3g data through data packs for vodfone prepaid connection).Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Also another observation is that the signal strength becomes -51dbm when in edge network but it changes to -81 dbm when in 3g network.
I am running IceCream Sandwich.
Can you please help.

I'm having the same problem, my calls drops after 30 seconds or less... I'm running ICS, but also tried CM10 with JB, and same problem...
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution to it?

Hey, what kind of rom are you using? I had connection issues with my I9100 with cyanogenmod in Germany and solved it by trying all the modems on the cyanogenmod site for the I9100. The one that fixed it for me was XXKE7
All other modems crashed after a while and wrote allot of dump files in the /data/log/ folder
You can check your modem by going to "About Phone"-> "Baseband version".
Check your /data/log folder if you have allot of dumpstat_ril_RESET_BY ... files there, that have a creation date that coincides with your signal losses it is probably a modem issue and you might be able to solve it by trying out other modems.

Thank you for your answer I'm trying XXKE7 now...
Sometimes, mobile data signal is very low. It varies from excellent Hspa to minimal Edge... I suppose this is is somewhat due to modem I'm running. It's DXLPA that came with Wanam 12.1.
So, which modem would you suggest to flash? That has a stable data signal reception?
Sent from my Galaxy S2 GT i9100
Modems are location and carrier dependent, you should try to test...
However, ask to other peoples won't help you so much, 'couse the best modem for "Herry" from Liverpool could not be the best modem for "James" from London....this is just an ex, the point is that tha network signal depends and changes of quality from place to place....
Edit: here a lot of modems---> http://veyka.co.uk/radios/

specially if i tether my phone via wireless
i have changed its software (rom and modem) and I am still experiencing this loss of network
in order to get network again I must reboot the phone, it is the only way of getting it back working
I travel a lot to Portugal and take the phone but I do not seem to have experienced this there
tough i dont tether there nor i use the connection for data
currently i am using a slim rom 4.2.2 build 8 official
the baseband is i9100xxLs9
any toughts about what is happening? do you think the phone is to blame? software? hardware? sim card?
Modem is what the culprit.

Hi! Thanks for the reply!
I already tried that. I reflashed and put a new modem aswell.
It improved the simptoms but they still persist
Any specific modem that you think i should try?
Some times my phone freaks out and just gets corrupt and i have to reflash
Do you think it might be going to die? Maybe replace it?
Best regards

Put it on gsm mode which is also called 2g mode.
Monitor it if you still loose signal.
If so, then i would recommend you do a clean wipe, use any rom wipe script available and then install your rom back
