Hey!
So after going from Jb leak, which had XXLS6 (or LSJ6 can't remember) modem to CM10.1 I decided to switch to XXLQ6 which is the modem that came with the phone. Reason for this is I thought leak modem was for Poland and such areas only and I live in North Europe so I figured LQ6 would work better. I also thought calls sounded weird on cm and tried if this would solve it.
Well, it didn't. I think it's a rom "problem" and tbh it isn't even a problem because calls work fine, I just didn't remember having that sort of complete silence when no one was speaking (no static sound as before). Hope that makes sense
Now I'm thinking that ls6 will probably be the modem here as well, or the successor of it will be, so should I use that with CM10.1? It worked fine and battery was good too, or should I just stick with the old LQ6 since my ril matches with it, although this apparently means nothing. There's also option C) "Use whichever you want to"
I heard that this modem (LS6) has a battery drain issue for some users. I used it for a week and I didn't noticed any major issue personally
Bvlp7 is awesome, use this to find modems http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950 also don't change any rils
Modems are location dependent, so try to find people who are in your area with good signal or your stock carrier modem

Lq6 is the stock modem, I'm just wondering if the ls6 is an improved modem since it's for jb or do modem stay pretty much the same. I'm not sure though what the jb radio will be for my location obviously.

I would try it . Make note of your current modem and give it a try. Take note to try it for a few days for the best results

Perhaps try the M250K!
I'm using it since several month and it is great.
But I searched very long for the best modem for me!

Heya, I don't know much at all about modems, but seeing as no one else has any ideas I thought I'd just suggest for you to take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277593
The second post shows a comparison between all of the modems that he tested.
I flashed KI4 just because.
I haven't noticed any differences (yet. I haven't really tested it out much) but then again I didn't have issues to start with.
Maybe worth a try? 8)
I've also found this and decided to flash it, too.

I have been told local radio/baseband/modem will be better in terms of reception... not sure if that is true...
i'll give it a go anyway =]
In settings/about phone is your baseband 'dukf4'?

I'm using the I9100TDUKF4 modem with I9100 KJ3 firmware. Works well.
Give the Telstra I9100TDVKF2 modem a go. I found it better than the Vodafone modem for the I9100T.
Search for it in the Q&A forum.

Thanks all... I'm switching a lot of baseband today, KH3, KH4 is not good for T version S2s....
and yes, it was I9100TDUKF4 in basband before, that gave me an average speed and reception...
I have also aware that maybe the service provider will affect the reception, so my guess will be if for T version S2s, it has to be used different baseband when the phone is with Telstra and voda...
anyway i am using NEKF2 atm, the speed is amazing but the reception is again not much improved....

i will try for sure, any link to download?
oh btw, i am living in Marsfied.... would that make a difference?
Yep! For i9100t it's best to use only the voda or telstra modems. I use kf4 on my telstra version running optus sim.
Does anyone have a cwm version of the telstra modem?

I have a friend in Marsfield and 3/Voda reception there is ok. Mobile data is a bit crap but that's not your problem I assume.

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.

That'll be the NELE4 modem. You can get it from here by searching.
However, it doesn't work with the most up to date firmware (callers won't hear your voice). To be honest, I'm now on the stock modem and haven't noticed any performance difference to the NELE4 I had before I updated firmware.

thanks mate, so no real benefit in using 3 modem over latest stock (lfb) ?

Well I have noticed a difference in the 3 UK firmware, as 3 UK technically has 2 networks running co-inside, you will find that the 3 UK firmware actually selects which network has the best signal, either their 2g side or their 3g side, however custom roms or debranded firmwares cannot defrenchiate between which network is which, and therefore you can find that you may be locked to the 2g side of the network (which is what I found). If you use the 3 UK branded firmware it actually says "3 (3G)" and "3 (2G)" if you're looking at the networks page, whereas custom roms do not show this, they just show two "3" networks, so you cannot tell which one is which.
I am wondering whether anyone else had noticed this or if there was a workaround for this problem?
Modem
So,i was wondering...
Since i've bought my phone in Portugal,and unlocked when i was in there,but currently living in London and using the T-Mobile(now called Three Network) which modem would you suggest me?
I'm using the latest FoxHound v2.0
Because sometimes i lose the the mobile data and can't get any kind of data....
Someone can recommend to me for a good modem to my sgs 2 for battery life?
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.
My rom is wanamlite 12.2 4.0.3

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?

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.

Hello, i have just moved to amman, jordan and i bought an umniah network simcard but i have a strange problem. It keeps drops the signal all the time. The same sim on other phones works perfectly and other samsung phones like the note 2 or grant work as they should. I was thinking that the problem might be the modem. Im on rootbox 4.1. I haven't tried a sammy rom yet cause i dont have a good internet connection yet. Anyone knows a good modem version to try? Thanks in advance..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
No one will be able to pinpoint a 'good' modem for you. Each person will need a different modem depending on their carrier and region. For example, I'm using XXMS2, while my brother, with the same phone but different carrier, is on DVLS3. I have a horrible signal with his modem, as he does with mine.
What you'll have to do is flash a few and test which works for you. They're not big files so you'll be fine to download a few without a good connection. Don't flash ril+modem, you want modem only.

Try the modems bundled with stock roms released by the carrier in question then the stock roms released by other carriers in that country first. That should help you narrow it down/save you some time.
