Some people use different models with their ROMs, best idea would be to flash the stock modem

The only thing I've noticed regarding download speeds is that no matter how fast my data connection is, Google Play will only download at 200kb/s as if its being throttled by google. Wifi isn't an issue. Anyways, I get good data speeds in using the ELKC modem but I have no idea what Three network your on

You have a very old Gingerbread baseband from september last year. LPS works excellent, I'd give it a try.
Downloading LPS now from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950&page=105
does Vodafone has any different modem for SGS2?
Still facing same issue upgraded modem LPS Its still the same.
Strange thing is Use 2G network and Data Enabled is unchecked itself whenever I had this problem.

There are a larhe number of modems .
Start with the last one and work your way back .

Best way to find a good Modem is testing them all.

You need a computer and a thing called search and you look on XDA thread for Modem post with flashable modems .Like most stuff its found in development .
But you would do better to read the basics first .

Hsdpa/3g switching issues

First off phone is stock and un rooted.
My issue is that the phone will switch to 3g or E so much and then often not switch to H when I use an app requiring Internet so the app won't load anything. Anyone else have these issues or is there a fix? I'm in Australia btw.

If your phone is unrooted, there are limited things you can do to solve it. If it is rooted, you can actually try to flash different modems for your phone and see which one works best for you or just find out from this forum what modem is best for your carrier.

Sorry, I have looked around and you can actually flash modem through Odin if your phone is unrooted.
Oh really?? Thanks for letting me know, I haven't messed with flashing before so I doubt I will now haha i might wait for official updates...

Most official modems for my region are terrible, I'll bet your's aren't better. Asian modems have a far greater stability, especially the DXLF3 modem.
You can't do anything wrong when flashing a modem. Just get Odin, head to the modem collection thread, pick your modem and flash away.

Sounds like antenna ping-pong. Basically that means that your carrier keeps moving you from one antenna to the other.
Alternatively, check if you have any Proxy configured in the APN settings as slow proxies can cause the same issue: go to Settings->More->Mobile network->Access point names, choose the one reading 'internet' (or something like that)
Check if any Proxy server IP is filled in. If yes, write it down and delete it from the profile. If Internet doesn't work, reconfigure it.
If it's better, congrats
Oh really! I didn't realise the Asian modems would work well in Australia thought they would be specific to region, obviously not! I will try the flash if nothing else works..
I checked in the settings like u asked but there is nothing under proxy? Should here be an ip is that the possible problem?

Wcdma only still switches between 3g and H, trying it now. So it wouldn't make a difference would it?

there is still difference in term of speed between 3g and H. if you want consistent H+, change modem to BWLE5, if you not in LFB based rom.

Galaxy note I717 running on aws(wind/T-Mobile) with ics

OK guys does or has anyone gotten some luck running a i717m note on aws band with either wind or T-Mobile? I have tried different roms, radio and mods still no luck
If someone that has gotten it to run good please post what step you took and what from and radio plus any mod required that would be awesome.
I need a stable ics rom. I have a i717m which is from bell mobility
. Thanks in advance
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
The author is studachris. I copied this from a thread about T-mobile, just a little way down. There are several threads infact, so take a few minutes and find them. I know the xda search function sux but googling "using at&t galaxy note on t-mobile or wind" will get you all the advice and files.
Come back if you have any questions.
"Roms and modems are interchangeable, meaning you can use whichever modem you want, on whichever Rom you want.
The blaze modem is what you want to use for t-mobile
Also the apn settings for t-mobile would probably be beneficial"
I'm not blowing you off. Learn by doing.
Here is an example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28940387
Capt is absolutely right. Been using the orig Blaze modem/radio on several ROMs (used mostly ICS CM ROMs). All have been stable with 3-9 mb d/l and crummy upload speeds as reported in the T-Mobile modem thread.
hey I have tried to look for it.
I've spent over 20 hours the other day/night flashing different roms and modems and searching though forums on here and google.
That is why im posting to ask if anyone has had any luck. it seem the modem I have flash really some only work with aokp rom but and the speed are good but i lost out on the s apps or I have only been able to get things working with the kid test modem it seem the blaze or blaze 4g lb7 doesnt like to work on wind while using uclf6 roms custom stock roms. but i will give that a try and see what in that link. I am just trying to get this thing up and running so I dont have to be carrying around 2 phones with me all day .
ps: I have over 7gb of rom data download that other night too its still sitting on the desktop so pretty much every ics rom and stock restore rom plus radio has been downloaded

Its seems either gave a radio for voice or data but not both. The blaze seems to work for voice but. Not so for data but the telus t989d radio works for radio but not voice I really hope the aws modem will be out soon with tmobile getting the note

Are you inputing APN settings? You can't get data without that.
Yes I have done that and the phone auto finds the apn for wind
but even after manual input still same thing. I have even tried the *#*#4636#*#* code and configure on that as well and *#2263# for the other rom still either one if the radio is good for voice or the other for data. I wish they had one that worked on both and good

I've only tested the Blaze modems but I came across a thread somewhere in the i717 Development forum that had build.prop edits that you can apply with a file explorer. I'm gonna give it a shot this weekend.
This is gonna sound dumb, but how do I check which modem I have? I know how to flash roms and all that, but I had to take my Note to a guy to unlock it and flashed a different Modem, but I want to know which one I have lol.

Mine says " T989UVLE1.
Is that supposed to be the right one? I'm running the Collective rom. I haven't updated to the new one though. Would one of these other modems make me go faster or is it just a trial and error type of thing?

Use TWRP Recovery:

NO. T-Mobile download and upload speeds are Incredibe and Insane! This is just what we're able to pull with the port, which isn't bad. It's actually better or equal to Sprint 4G in my area on my NS4G.
I just switched from t-mo due to UL speeds of .1 to .4 mbps using the blaze modem and the foil mod. DL speeds were 5-8, sometimes in the red zone.
Went to Straight talk for the att towers and switched to the latest ucle 6 modem. I am a little disappointed in the speeds. Avg. 3-4 mbps down, and .7 to 1.5 up. The only good thing is call forwarding works and You Mail is functioning- the only thing I missed on t-mo. Will have to think if it's worth it for $15 more a month.

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:
