Wanted to start a thread with info on modems that work well with AT&T for the GT-i9300. I have tried LF2 ad LE8 modems so far. Seems like LE8 was a bit more smooth and speed seemed a bit higher. Any other experience? LEF? LF6?
Try XXLF5
I'm in Ireland but the frequencies are the same and it doubled my data speeds.

Any updates? I'm near the center of Munich and terrible indoor reception. Maybe I should switch to a prepaid Voda provider...

Guys,
I'm not spamming. I've read this article few days back. I read this article again. Some given some positive feedback.
The question is whether it helps the battery drain for international phones..
This is the article

Judging by your Bio you're from Australia, in your region you are best to stick to the i9300T radios because of the frequencies in your country.
In saying that, the LH1 radio might work just fine, generally the idea with modems is what's good for me might be crap for you and vice-versa.
Basically YMMV.

UK and I lose 70% of signal .
So modem is not for all phones.
You can try the modem yourself.

Agree 100%, I get way worse signal on LH1

What would be considered a good modem for in the US?
That's one thing I haven't came across yet in the S3 i9300 threads, a threads featuring different modems? I came from the epic4g, being able to just throw one in with Odin.

Hello, I was hoping if I could get some help on slow data speed issue. I'm currently in Baltimore, Maryland area on AT&T unlimited LTE plan using "pta" APN setting. I see people reporting averaging around 5~8mbps on hspa+ but I'm not able to go above 2mbps. Most of the time it's 1~1.5mbps and it's so frustrating.
I'm pretty sure I have the right settings, but I'm not sure why I get such a crappy data speed? Any ideas? Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thank you!

You CAN try switching modems.. but the most reliable thing you should do is to contact your service op for this
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
It depends, have you rooted?
I would do as above suggested by contacting you service provider.
However modem switch is quite easy. Not sure exactly what modem would work best in your area. But it cannot hurt to try and if it does not work out switch back...

Haven't rooted yet but I guess I'll give it a go.
I remember there was a thread with all the S3 modem listed... Now I can't seem to find it, anyone know?

Are you using the same modem/radio or are you changing them with the Rom?

Are you using the exact same APN with the Canadian ICS ROM as you do the custom ROMs?
I am with Rogers and currently have a jb custom rom and find my lte to be the same, if not better with the UCLF6 modem.

thanks for the reply. thats the same one that im using at the moment but the back of my phone keeps heating up when im using mobile data. im wondering is there a different modem that would work on mobilicity?
Heat is normal for me under data usage. Every phone does that.
For the modems, just keep trying different ones until you find the one that works best for you. There is no 100% guaranteed to work modem for everyone. Good luck

Bad news. Phone isn't compatible with 1700mhz frequency. Might be out of luck. Sorry

I'm wrong! Lol thank you for posting Shane. So now it basically narrows down for the best modem that works for you.
There might be a Wind/Mobilicity thread around here somewhere. Wish you luck
Maybe here?

Im with wind and use the telus modem which gets wicked speed. When using a cm based rom yhere is no need to tweak but if using a TW based rom do this trick, go into dial pad and input *#2263# then chose wcdma then pick 850 band, exit out and then go back in again via *#2263# and pick auto, wait a few secs and run a speed test. Mine hits around 2500 to 3000 which kill my hd2 at 1600 to 2000
