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.

What baseband?

I have installed latest romantic from CheckRom. What is the best baseband to use?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
KI3 which will give you the best signal which in turn will give you good battery life. If KI3 dosnt work for your region try KL1
Its best to try a few different ones to see which modem works best for your location and network. I've seen people getting the best results from xxkI4 and xxkI3. I personally get the best reception/battery life with xxkI1 here in the us on at&t.

[Q] ICS for GT-I9100T

Hi,
Does anyone know of an ICS ROM for the Galaxy S2 GT-I9100T model?
You can use any rom for the I9100. Makes no difference.
Just flash your i9100t modem back on ics works for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I already installed an ICS ROM intended for the regular model, and it is very very buggy. The internet connection is very bad.
I did some research on the Web and what I understand it's a problem with the modem. The modem for the T model is different.
I'm in Israel on the Pelephone network.
Hi 7t
I wrote my comment just as you wrote yours, so I didn't see it.
From where can I download a modem for the T model?
Thanks.

wondering. thought that it would have, because of i9100T ,.. but apparently just orange UK (and france) have it. then you can install any i9100 you want.
I9100T doesnt mean nfc it is optimized for 850 mhz network.

As 7tOny4 says, the T thing is about the modem, nothing to do with NFC.
No NFC in Israel anyway.
Thanks anyway.
I have a GT-I9100T and have been using various ICS roms, including the CM9 nightlies, for the past month or so. At the moment, I'm running Resurrection Remix.
The modems included in the latest roms have all worked fine for me, so all I've had to do is re-add the appropriate APNs If for some reason it doesn't work with the included modem, just flash a modem file from your carrier or another local carrier that uses similar frequencies.
There's a collection of modem files from different carriers globally on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
With the official release of ICS today, I expect that we'll be seeing updates to all of the main one-off roms within the next few days, including updated kernels and modems.
I have a gs2 i9100T and running remix ICS 9.6. It is fast, smooth and stable.

O2 UK modems

Any recommendations for a modem to use with o2/giffgaff ??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
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.

[Q] Best modem for India ??

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.

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.

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,
