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?

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

I used to be fast until.... nah still fast.

I am not from US, but you can test KE7 even though it is old...

Can you use a GB modem on ICS? I used ki1 on checkrom and had decent speeds.

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.

You can try an app called getril from the play store. Just be careful, I've heard mixed reviews of it

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.

There are many threads with modems. Have you searched for them?

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
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!!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
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?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
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

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.

I've been playing with the rom of my phone, now i am in NeatRom it has an amazing battery life, now i want to know what differences makes changing the modem, and what is the best for Chile, Claro-chile company, thanks you all for help me, sorry if i made some mistakes writting this thread.
Well... I used LPS in cm9 and worked really well. No overheat, good battery life.
Now on cm10, experienced overheating with LPS and flashed LQB. Now it works as it should.
Note that it's only my experience and you have to test modems by yourself.

I've flash LPS, how i said before, i am in NeatRom 4.0.4 amazing battery life, and hope that with this MODEM will be better thanks you all, tomorrow i'm gonna post how it is going!
What modem are you using? I need one for CM10.1 for my i9100 Movistar.. Im using now UHLPF(with same ril).
I want something similar to SpeedRom you can see on the Amaze 4G/Ruby.
So far I think the LiquidSmooth and the Psycho (Sammy) roms are extremely fast in terms of UI and Internet. Unfortunately, neither seem to allow my Mobile Data Plan to work.
Any recommendations?
Ms team rom.....simply amazing especially with the black theme that's in the kitchen .....

Try change the modem based on your country. Maybe it will help.

i'm sorry but i just reported this thread. you have to try some ROMs yourself to get the best results for a "fast ROM"

Downloading MS Team rom now.
Tried all the different Modems (ICS) from my area, they all show reception, but do not allow me to connect... Thanks though.
I believe the last two users misunderstood my intentions:
1) The best rom will always be preferential based on what you are going for (e.g. speed, ease-of-use, tweaks available, etc.).
2) I have tried roms, which is why I stated the two I find to be the fastest as of yet. I should have clearly stated my criteria for a quick UI and Internet speeds.
Maybe the title was in bad taste, but my question still stands valid.
So your data works on wifi but not on 4g? Have you got your apn set correctly?

It is the modem installed on your phone...yes it affects your battery life, signal reception, temperature of your device.
Search for modems in XDA and flash it because no one can tell you which modem suits you it is different for each device
