Hi guys,
Just wanna ask any Malaysians here experiencing intermittent switching between HSDPA and 3G, with connections dropping as you please in 3G?
I've been trying to deal with this problem, but it doesn't seem to go away, so I thought it could be my Modem and/or Kernel problem.
Any ideas?
Yeah, it sounds like a modem problem. I've had the same issue. Just try a few modems and see what suits best.

Thanks! I was beginning to get paranoid and wonder if I should have stuck with the HTC Desire.
I was on KF1, now switching to KF2. Will continue to post more as the situation develops.
On a side note, we almost have the same device history

comments from digi users will also b nice
i'm using ki4 for maxis. regarding about switching between h and 3g i think is a normal thing coz i tested alot of them giving the same result
just some modem giveng better battery life
Im on Maxis and getting decent speed and signal.. now on KI1 with Siyah 2.2b6.. im not sure if this is the best but im able to go max download tethered to IDM at 800KBps.. quite ok i guess

There seems to be data freezing issues when on Maxis, Celcom or Digi with default KF1 modem. This problem seems to be there on all modems so far. Disabling Fast Dormancy helps a bit, but not too much.
Usually, data freeze shows an upload. You have to disable data, then re-enable data for the problem to go away. There doesn't seem to be a way to fix it.
After 1month+, I found out it's a kernel + modem thing. 3g will be preferred unless you're actively connected (saves bat), and will switch over to HSDPA if and when you're actively seeking connection (running apps/games with screen on).
I'm currently on TWD 2.5 kernel, and KF2 modem.
i tried xxki1,xxki3,xxki4,nekf1 and nekf2....Nekf2 is most stable than the others..

Yeah still wondering why the phone could never connect to internet via 3G, whenever it tried to connect using 3G, there was always no downstream, and then it switched to H/H+.
This thread has become extremely quiet i see
I will be traveling soon. I have the JellyBean leak by izap on my phone right now... The battery life is somewhat ok, but I have network issues with it sometimes. People can't get to me even when my phone shows full signal strength. Therefore, I would like to know if there is a Modem/Ril/Rom combination that features stability and is most suitable for making and receiving calls internationally. It would also be good if the combination isn't a battery sucker while searching for network while not in range.(Because this seems to be an issue with many people :-/ )
While traveling these are my top requirements from the GS2:
Stability- no SoD or incompatibility with networks abroad.
Battery life- no battery drain while it isn't being used
GPS- quick locks in remote areas (I already seem to have a solution for this; but haven't tested it yet)
Camera- no pink spot or noise (Could you also recommend a good camera firmware for Fujitsu M5MOLS that fixes FPS issues and pink spot? -I've tried solution in every Camera issue thread I could find on the forum, but I still get pink spot)
Thanks! I'm looking forward to your replies! :fingers-crossed:
Just in case this question isn't in compliance with the forum rules, then I'll be sorry and the Mods can move it/delete it.
If it were me Id just go back to Samsungs proper stock rom/modem.Then when I come back,Id change it back to what I liked.

Thanks for the answer... But I wanted to know of a combination of any rom(stock, custom, etc) and Modem/RIL that provides good compatibilty with overseas networks and isn't infamous for draining the battery... And stable

To be honest your expectations are too high.Your wanting what everyone on here wants,and it doesnt exist.This is why were all tinkering with roms.
In some of requirements,while one thing improves,another will diminish i.e battery life.
I currently use rooted GB stock,stripped down with all the crap removed.I used to use nelp3 modem(gave best signal),but according to callers,speech was choppy.
I'm on NeatRom Lite 4.0 (JB leak), and see in better battery stats that "No or unknown signal" is 99.3%, and I have been in areas with good reception all day, so something is not right with the LS6 modem here in Norway. And I'm not sure if there is any other modem/ril for JB leak?
As for stability and battery time, CM9 stable worked great for me, so maybe have a look at that? With litle use, batterydrain where less than 10% pr 24hour on stock battery...

You can use other modems for Leaked jb but not other rils.
Leave ther ril alone and change the modem. Read through the thread for information how to change modems.
Will it not make phone reception worse if ril is not matched to modem?

Well I was just asking. But what you say is probably the most practical option as gb is as stable as a rock... Btw can you please tell me your gb version (phone & modem )?

No, Modem will reception will be improved somewhat but not 100 % because the mismatch.
Before the ril modem relationship was discovered people use to change modems with out any problems whatsoever.

Yes, I made this thread keeping that in mind...
For now I think it's gingerbread stock. But I'm still wondering about the most "ideal" modem

Heres my setup.Im using UK rom for unbranded.But Im different from the average user as I disable a lot of stuff I dont need as I use my phone mostly for gambling(so display cops most of the battery).
Maybe someone can suggest a good stripped down rom for battery life,in case you arent near a charger.

Yeah even I freeze unwanted bloatware so I'll try your combo first and maybe if someone has something for better battery I'll try that too

I see in here that I should be using a XW modem, and not the XX in the leaked jb rom, so I better try another modem and see how it works out.
@jj_95nano You should probably have a look at the modems for the region you are travelling (2 first letters), but as that thread has not been updated since summer, I don't know if theire recommended modems are still valid...
You could also maybe check the signal strength of your provider on where your going.
I went on holiday recently where the tmobile reception was crap,and vodafone was a lot better.
*gets into a dilemma*
Just flashed the latest stock ICS 4.0.4 for my region... There are many bugs and FCs... I wanna flash GB, but the GB for my region is infamous for its battery drain. I guess I'll keep CWM Backups of different ROMs and try them out when I'm on the go. :-/
Depends where your going ^^
If I was taking my S2 over seas, I'd get a sim card for that region (could prob get one prior to travel), leave a redirect to no. on my voicemail. Then I would get a cwm flashable modem for the region & install it on the plane to destination. Rom wise, MIUI gb/ics - would be your best bet... everything works out of the box. Stay away from JB, unless you have a laptop handy, then it wouldn't really matter

Okay.. So I'm downloading MIUI and I have some modems of the places I'm gonna go to. The only problem is everytime I flash a modem there will be a Modem+RIL mismatch... But actually to solve that I can flash only one modem for the country I'll be in the longest. Let's see how it goes!

If you're on a plan - roaming may be better option...
talk to your provider about pros & cons :cyclops:
on prepay I'd go my prior suggestion - use local network & save some $$

Yep I'm on a plan with international roaming... I finally got MIUI ICS and NeatROM Lite dual booted. The modems on the ROMs are matching with RIL and don't seem to be draining battery, so I think I'll stick to these.
Hi all, Im having a huge problem using the gps on my Phone.
I gets the signal from the gps if I don't move. When ever I start go drive faster then 30 km/h it looses the signal and usually never return. I tryed to clear my Google Maps cache, but it works only for a short part of time.
Ive install the gps fix, but it didnt helped a bit.
Im using now the newest rom (7.1 I belive)
I didn't get these problems so ofthen when being on 7.0.

This is he thread to the rom:
I see a custom rom .MS Team rom 7.1 GPS problem .
And that is your probable problem test by wiping phone and install stock rom .
Try as well .

My device just got alive, On the way to Warsaw the gps just by it self started to work, and to get the most fun, it didn't loose the signal even on one sec.. in the 1 km tunnel on the start in my home town(Where I previously couldn't get a signal for few seconds)...
I can understand very bad weather, but today there has been all day the same weather conditions(getting slightly worst in the end)....
Can someone tell me that is the problem ?
GPS is a very important utility in my phone, as I'm always using it where ever I am.
Guys
I need your suggestion how to improve network signal on my S3.
I recently moved to a new house. I know there is no issue with ROM or the phone. Just DIY way to improve the signal strength.
Stock ROM worst. CM11 base ROM is still good for good signal strength.

CM doesn't change modem (or it didn't when last I used it). So any difference between stock and CM should be subjective, bearing in mind signal strength reporting may differ between ROMS. Have you tried a different modem? That's gotta be worth a try although spend a couple of days per modem to give a chance for any issues with battery life etc to manifest themselves.

GSM signal booster, but wifi is easier and cheaper.

Thanks both for your immediate reply.
I have tried many things. The latest Port of KK for S3 signal is damn weak. And I had to move back to CM11.
I have bought a sticker which demands signal boost, not sure though that working or not. Already moved to a diff service provider, which is little bit better in respect to the old one. But still it is not so good.
I do have Zero Lemon 7000 battery, so I do not bother about battery.
Is there any KK modem I can try? I believe nothing exist so far. The forum though having a post of list of modem, but that not updated.
I like stock OS only for the mail application. Rest stock can not beat CM.
Just installed a diff modem, need to check the network.
