Hi everybody...
Can somebody tell me which is the best modem for India in terms of battery usage??
I have already many modems like lph lps lp9 etc etc... but no use.....
I use XXLPS.. That's great.. If you want really good coverage try nelp3.. But that's not to battery efficient..
I tried that.. Bt it was also very hungry.. 40% battery drop overnight with no wakelocks or othr usage

I know this probably doesn't help much but try a few different ones and see how your signal changes. Maybe use each one for a day and determine battery drain, network and cellular signal. It varies depending on carrier, location, etc. so you need to try them out and cannot rely on someone else's best option.

Hi, Can you then suggest the probable modems that i can flash for S2 in India??
I do not have much knowledge on this front.

I'm glad you posted in a thread instead of starting one, but with modems you need to try multiple ones to get the correct one. My modem may have better battery life and signal, but worse GPS, or vice versa. Just try different ones, no one can suggest one for you.

also use 'GetRil' app from stores and match the RIL(Radio Interface layer) with the modem u use and see
Or use this .

Hi. I recently got a white Galaxy S 2 not from my region. It uses XWKI4. I'm just wondering should I use the modem from my region (DXKI1) or just stick to this? Will it really make a difference? I thought about this because I was reading posts in the Official Firmware thread talking about which modem was better for battery consumption etc.
Its a general rule with modems is that you should always try different ones to find which is best for your region and your network.
So far I found that the best modems for me have been the KH3 and KI4. Very similar performance.

What factors do you consider in finding out which is the best one? Is there something I should monitor?

You will notice which ones perform worse than others. It will be obvious when you start getting poor network strength and/or download speeds. Some can have a significant effect on battery life.

Use an App like "speed test" and compare the perfirmance results of that versus the results of battery life, call quality, and GPS between the different modems that you try...

Trial and error it would seem. I've tried for different ones so far. LE6, LE8, LE9, and LF2. So far I found LF2 to be no good for me, and LE9 to be slightly better than 6 or 8. Your mileage will vary. Just try them all and find out which one is best. You can see the list here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969&page=2
If you have a 9300 as opposed to a 9300T, I believe Mobile Odin will work for you. (Doesnt work for me yet so I havent tried this) but I believe you can use that to flash them all directly from your device, which will facilitate testing since you can probably try them all without having to physically move! Take note of your dBm readings and internet performance and let us know how you go.
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.

Hi!
I think you should flash another modem, Modem/Radio/Baseband is all the same thing and can be seen by going to Settings - About Phone - Baseband. It's basically a driver which receives and sends Mobile Network signals as well as handling switching between GPRS, 3G, HSDPA etc..
anyway, here is the collection of modems for our s2
also, remember that Usually just flashing and then using the same modem for 3-5 days should tell you how well it performs in your are and with you Mobile Network operator. Please remember that it takes around 2-3 days for a Modem to "settle" and achieve optimum performance, so don't judge how good a Modem is straight after flashing. That's where a lot of people fail when asserting battery drain.
on the sidenote, here is a youtube link on how to flash a modem:

hope this helps,

I have a problem that when my 3g is on, my battery life going down very fast. And when i turn the 3g off is very good.

With LQ6 modem, it's exactly the same issue.
Two ways to find a modem that will work well for you:-
a) Find someone in the same country who uses the same carrier as you & ask them which modem they use, and try that modem in the first instance.
b) Get a bunch of modems (lots of links to CWM flashable modems on XDA) & try as many as you need to until you find one that works well for you.
You mean xxlq6?

Try from all this modem?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I am using the xxlq6 modem. The signal is great everywhere, and when it's working in 3g, the consumption is not excessive. The battery lasts me 18/19 hours mixed between wi-fi and 3g, with 3/3:30 hours of screen and use more than normal. In any case I advise you to try several and see which modem is best for you. I tried several before I get to that modem.
See 3G will eat battery.. Its a fact.. Dont ask which modem u should use... Try urself... And see which suits u and your needs...
Peace
Hit Thanks & It will Disappear

Modems are location dependent. Also keep in mind that they are like ROMs and kernels in that you have to give them three to four battery cycles for them to settle down for you to notice a difference.
