Hello everyone,
So I'm not too good with the whole modem/baseband issue. What I'm trying to find out is which modem file works best with AT&T, and since AT&T sells a different version of the S2, I know I can't use the basebands for that model. Does anyone have a recommendation for a baseband that might work. I'm in Manhattan, KS, but I don't need anything tailored to my area in particular, just something that would work US-wide (I'm coming from the korean version of the S2, so my baseband is COMPLETELY different for some reason)..
Thanks a TON for the help, everyone!

You don't wanna get a branded ROM, you are looking for as stock as it gets ROM (super-hyper unbranded). Forget about AT&T, I really don't think basebands differ from one model to another.
I might be wrong- doesn't feel like it, but I might-.

Hey there,
been having frequent signal cuts lately after flashing ATT radios on my international Atrix.
However, I did not find any hint about which radios can be used on international phones and which should not.
So, what radio should one use with an international Atrix?

Yeees...actually I did look there, but there is no information given about international devices. Each time someone brings a question regarding international phones, the discussion seems to overhear it.
There is just ATT (USA) and Bell (Canada) radios. It might be true, there exists an older Orange (UK) radio in the unlock thread. However, I started to wonder why there is no update on any other radio but overseas.
You know, either ATT/Bell really suck, making frequent radio updates neccessary, or Orange/O2/*insert any european carreer here* are plain lazy.
Edit: Ahh, right, the signal loss. Yes, I lost my mobile signal several times on Gingermod#4. Well, but everyone there insists on the signal loss being my fault for whatever I dont know reason at all.

Ah, thanks, it is a german atrix btw.
I restored my darkside prefinal backup with faux kernel + ATT .30p radio and everything works fine.
The signal cut issue might be related to using ATT radios and international stock kernels which I used in gingermod#4.
Will test and report
Edit:
Seems like the issue was not kernel related from the start. Freezing "data manger service" and "home"-launcher is not save on every ROM.
im getting an s3 shortly,and ive downloaded this rom (see signature) after looking at a few, im from the uk, and ive had htc's mainly and i got an evo3d still, my missus had an s2 but i smashed it in a row, anyway, im getting this s3, and first things first im gonna root, recovery and flash the rom, what radio would u reccommend for a uk member ? i remember it being a little confusing when i dual booted her s2, but now it seems that the s3 is getting divided currently, and its all us countries,
basically, im asking if a uk member, can jump up and give us a holler on a reccomended radio, thanks in advance

sweet thanks, its coming on orange, but she does want it on three, im a lil busy between a few forums, do you know of any cid unlocks for the s3 ? thanks in advance
Let me start out by saying this is not a 'what is best modem' thread. I have done a lot of research and I thought maybe other XDA members' input would help. I have an international galaxy S3, using it with Tmobile. I know you guys say I will only be getting 2g/Edge. But I live in the DC area, so am getting constant H/H+ speeds. Anyway, I have been getting a lot of draining from my phone's radio and I was wondering if there were any Tmobile users who have previously flashed any modems and which ones would work with T-mobile in the US? Thanks in advance guys.
You mention this is not a "best modem" thread. Ok fair enough, but you obviously put that because you know they are not received well. I just wanted to go into why that is which may also (unfortunately) put a dampener on what you are hoping to achieve in this thread.
Please note, I am trying to help here. I'm not trying to nit pick.
Anyway, I digress.
I could be you next door neighbour and have the same phone as you on T-Mobile. I could say radio x is best. Even though you are only next door, this could be the worst for you. There are so many variables that go into it that you simply can never have a simple answer.
It may be radio x is best for me because it's bouncing signals off the tin roof of my garage (that you can't see) better than radio y. The building I work in may be brick walled and yours concrete. I may be in locations where you may not be during the day. I may have a different rom. Different radio interface layer. Different apps and configurations... it all goes towards a completely different experience.
Then t-mobile is massive. Not just on your street. Different people, different masts, different terrain, different altitudes...
Anyone who gives advice to you here, they may say radio x is better. If it is, its coincidence. Really all you can do is try them all and see whats best for you.
Again, I'm not getting at you. I just wanted to give you some insight so don't be too disappointed if you don't get the results you hope from this thread

Really appreciate the answers/details man. I know you are just trying to help and it's nice that you were polite. I understand that there is no 'best modem', but I was wondering if there was any specific modem to work with I9300 in Tmobile US, that's all. I bought my phone unlocked from France, and it's been draining my battery a bit. So, wondering if any given radio will work here in the US, dont want to run into problems. But thanks man, I appreciate your response!
Its literally just a case of trying them all. My carrier specific (3 uk) modem is actually the worst for me than any other.

i got 3 uk as well. i had to flash the 3 uk modem since the rom i flashed came with a different modem. So Im guessing you have the NELK2 modem flashed on your as well or a different one? Sometimes my phone has 2 signal bars but says 3 service not available with the triangle and exclamation point. Whats a fix for that or is that normal?
i found modems here if this helps you OP:

I always use the latest modem unless I find it to be bad. You'll get that triangle if there's no service

Which modem/baseband version should I use for my Bell Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100M? I'm using the Bell network in Canada.
Right now, I'm using baseband version I9100MUGMA5 and the battery drains fast and there is frequent signal drop compared to when I was using baseband version I9100XXLS8 but I wasn't sure this baseband was using the right frequencies for Bell.
Thanks.
Try the modems bundled with stock roms released by your carrier first; reasoning being you'd hope they tested that the modem works for most people in most places with their network when they tested the rom before release. Then try modems bundled with roms released by other carriers in your country.

The I9100MUGMA5 baseband is the one that I had when I had the stock android from Bell for the Samsung Galaxy S2. I was just hoping that someone could tell me that another baseband is way better with the S2 for a better signal and battery saving.
Thanks MistahBungle for your reply.
According to Samfirmware, your carrier has released 5 stock roms total. You've tried one modem. So, using simple arithmetic, you have another 4 you can try.
Or you can sit here waiting for a reply that may never come (which will probably tell you the exact same thing I just did). Either you want to fix your connectivity, or you don't.
I've given you the fishing rod, a bucket of bait & detailed instructions on where to fish, you need to do the rest.

Thanks for the straight answer. I was just hoping someone would have went through this exercise before me but I guess not. I'll try all the modem drivers and see which one is better. I'll return with my findings.
I recently got a galaxy note buts its the tmoble version t879, and i wanted to know if i can run these roms on the t moble version, there are no roms on the tmoble version of the note's page. I mean that page is beyond dead. i did some research and found out the i717 can run t879 roms because the phone are about identical, only the i717 have lte. so if this page is alive can someone tell me if i can run these rom on my t879, you would be great help.
Another question im using a att sim card in the t879, and it was working fine when the phone was stock, but after a put a new rom i no longer get service at all. sould a flash an att modem?
Thanks in advance:laugh:

As far as I know, they are 100% compatible. Many folks rum them on Tmobile. I beleive you other issue is the same as everyone else too.
You will just have to flash away with different modems to find one that works in you area.
I am not the modem master, but I saw this post a couple days ago and still no answer for you.
Flashing the different modems will not hurt you. They either work or they dont.
Good luck. Run a search
