Hi everyone
Has anyone seen any difference between the new xxlq5 modem against lps?? I seem to get slow speed but more bars.
Wondering if anyone else tested or saw any major difference. Just living for suggestion really.

Every network is different so every modem will respond differently so your question is stupid. For me, in the south of the UK on 3, LPS is better but LPS still isn't as good as the good ol' modems like KI3. Keep flashing modems until you find one that works for you based on your network and location.
Thanks and no thanks because a question is never stupid but answers are.
However i am on three UK in south east. Have flashed lps which seems to be good but gonna try ki3 to see what's that like. Have flashed almost all the ones which are available from the past but i was looking for a generic answer to see if people have found any significant difference as end of the day modems are related to the handset model than network!!

Erm, are you in the South East on an exchange?
Anyway, I got "generic answer" - no there isn't one, and no modems aren't related to the handset model, if that's what you're trying to say.
Keep trying modems until you found one you like, out of all the modems I've ever tried there has been difference, but really not much.
Edit after seeing the tags, who sets them? hahahahaha, brilliant.
Hey guys .. never mind what would be the modem that u'll flash but i just want to confirm that if you want to test a modem please see it effect after 48 H don't know why but i can see that the performance is stabilized in 48 H
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Thanks Mo. I wonder why 48 hours? Its a software driver written to run a piece of hardware so shouldn't have a time related issue?

Time isn't so much an issue, but you should probably test a modem in different locations/at different times of day for a bit before you decide whether it's a dud or a keeper so far as connectivity/data is concerned. If you use it once & get average reception/data speeds (as opposed to crappy from the get go; if it's that bad you can assume it's a dud), how can you possibly know that wasn't a temporary network issue ?
When I tested a bunch of modems after switching to CM9 ~4 mths ago, I tried ~12 modems. A few I tested for 5-10 minutes & decided they were no good pretty much immediately because they were significantly worse than the modem I was using at that time (very poor/no connectivity). And the other 8 or so I tested over 2-3 days each to get an idea of what they were like. In the end I stayed with the modem I'd been using for the previous few mths and am still using that modem now.
Same here. Using lps have tested ki1,ki3,ki4,nelp3,nelp4,kh3,lq5. But i think lps beats them all on 3 (UK) in London. Does anyone know when Samsung is going to release this 4.0.4 officially on kies? As that might pack a new driver/modem.
Jelly beans isn't coming to s2, which i can understand from revenue point of view.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
You're on XDA, Jelly Bean is already on S2s. I might be wrong but isn't LPS the 4.04 modem already. The difference between modems is no negligible and newer isn't necessarily better. How are you doing these tests?
Mate you need to grow up a bit more and research before you make statements. Jelly bean is only started off as being ported in gs2 and half of the stuff doesn't work. So i don't know where you are coming from.
And LPS came with 4.0.3 xeu, lq5 is with 4.0.4
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Android 4.0.4 for Russia is out, just flashed the Rom and indeed its smooth. Better than leaked one. XXLQ6 seems to giving good speeds.
Now won't be too long until xeu models get it first.

Its a i9100 rom. Can u provide a link to a flashable stock zip of it?
Stock SGS2 Sammy builds are always buttery smooth.
just letting people know that the newest GB is the smoothest. I have it done, hellraised, added 14 toggle, bln, newest DD, removed some bloat. I will try and upload a almost stock version in development soon.

I have tried Neophyte's custom (illusion) built from this new base but it's been a minute since I've tried a stock ROM...I will have to give this a try this weekend.
Not sure but I might try with Mobile Odin or maybe the new Flash-o-holics tool...man you gotta love the Devs we have, making it fun even to flash a stock ROM!

That thread says CWM, and the instructions say install from recovery.
I'm bored, I'll give this a shot.
Reading the thread, it seems like you can flash it via CWM and then apply Hellraiser afterwards.
In my opinion, that release is too new to properly pass judgement on it. It can often take a few weeks before bugs in a firmware build become clearly evident.
Look at what happened with UCKK6 - two ROM developers rebased on it, even though after a few more weeks it became clear it is one of the worst bases that one could possibly pick. This fact wasn't clear when they made their decision because it was too new.
That said: So far, XWKL1 seems pretty solid.
I think the op was referring to this particular ROM...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483131

should be ready in a few minutes as long as upload doesn't break
This is early, but this release might suffer from the infamous AOS bug in regards to wifi aswell. Did a test by resetting my CPU Spy and checking in on it at 20 mins and the phone is only entering deep sleep 89% of the time. Also behind display, "Android OS" has the second highest battery consumption.
So what exactly is so much smoother about it?

Hi all,
I'm getting very low signal in my phone, only one or two bars with passion v13 and now with ICS euphoria even when being next to the window.
I get excellent signal in a HTC G2.
Does anyone have a similar problem?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Flash a new modem. Scrizz has a bunch especially for ICS.
I forgot to mention that I have already tried several modems: ka7, ka6, jksomething, but nothing changes.
Try a different city or a different phone... or a different cell company

I'm right around Chicago it is an ICS issue. My gf has miui and kb5 with 3 bars of H. I have currently 1 bar 3g same setup on euphoria.

You could always try the CM9 alpha or icssgs, see if there is any difference
If changing modems makes no difference, then it must be the rom.

Unfortunately its all of them. The only fix I have found is getting off ICS. Once the newest glitch kernel is back ported for cm7/miui.us I won't be able to careless lol.
P.S. this reply would not be possible on ICS, I am at work right now.

Interesting. I should have mentioned kernels (many to choose from), but it sounds like you might have tried a few of them also. Good luck.
You might want to discuss it in one of the ICS rom threads, or the modem thread:

Every ICS I experience this on until Docs V5. My phone is useable at work again on ICS. It's worth a shot if low signal is what is holding you back from 4.0.

If someone requests a new SIM card from T-Mobile, do they get to keep the same phone number? Also, I've had my Samsung Vibrant's battery since around Oct 2010. How much longer would you think this battery will be good 'til?
I have the i9100 that I am using on AT&T in the US and I am currently using the LPQ baseband, but have used XXKI3 and KI4 as well. Anyone in the US have any preference or one that has worked best for you on AT&T?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium HD app
Switched back to the XXKI3 baseband and I seem to have better reception for data and voice.
Trying the XXKPA from Veyka
KL1
I'm on baseband KI3. Works fine.
LPQ works best for me.
I keep trying the ICS modems and always have returned to KI3. It has issues, but definitely is better for me in the North suburbs of Chicago than anything else so far.
In my experience, KL1 is the best performing modem (in the Houston, TX area at least). My speeds are around 6-8 Mbps down/1-3 Mbps up depending upon the time of day. Browsing, the Play Store, and several news apps are much more responsive on KL1. To be fair, I haven't tried KI3, though. (Flashed KI4 - see update below)
I tried LPQ on ICS modded ROMs and was lucky to get 1 Mbps/150 Kbps speeds. Likewise, all other Internet-based apps were slllloooooowwww (think original Blackberry Pearl and 8300 devices). I must have tried 20 different APN configurations, but they were all the same.
Long story, short - in the Houston, TX area, KL1 or KI4 both seem to work well as compared to LPQ.
[UPDATE] - Since I was just sitting here browsing XDA, I figured I would try KI4. It's a little better than KL1, especially with the upload. Five tests on KL1 at 3:00 pm CDT returned an average of 5.8 Mbps down/1.2 Mbps up. KI4 gave me an average of 5.9 Mbps down/1.6 Mbps up. Internet-based apps felt the same on either KL1 or KI4. Ping times also were the same at 80ish ms.

Located in South-central PA here and have been testing the hell out of KI4 and KL1 and the results are amazing, they are the 2 best modems to use in my opinion for my area, I travel to Philly and Jersey a lot and have never had one drop signal in the past 4 weeks I've had these two radios on my phone. 2 weeks a piece and have nary noticed a bit of difference except that KL1 gives me slightly better battery life.

Excellent - I am using XXLPR right now and seem to be getting great battery and speeds
I am using KI3 and getting good speeds here in California. I also tried KH3 and LPS and LP9 and i still get better speeds w KH3 but LPS and LP9 are not bad.
I am using KP8 right now after trying LPQ and NELP3... Both of those had great speeds but terrible battery consumption

Any modem can be used regardless of the Rom version.
Thanks to SAMSUNG, there is no RIL packeges for MODEMS to suite with ROM like HTC devices.
are we talking about XXKL1 ? because there is a few other modems that end in KL1. Thank you.
Anyone find a good ICS modem to use with AT&T yet? I ask because it doesn't seem possible to use a GB RIL with an ICS ROM so I'd have to upgrade to an ICS modem to get the RIL and baseband to match.

That doesn't exactly help with finding a modem though.
Anyways, I'm trying out BVLP7 with a matching BVLP7 RIL and so far it's working better than XXKL1.

What modem are you using? I need one for CM10.1 for my i9100 Movistar.. Im using now UHLPF(with same ril).
XXELL5 germany rom or XXELL4 uk rom
LL5 seems to be the one people are using for their roms now.
I don't think there is much difference to be honest.
Maybe just regional stuff but since wanam has pulled together all the csc's this doesn't matter to much either.

There is absolute minimal difference as both ROMs were released within similar timeframe...
