I'm not quite sure what the JXX Modems do.
I tried google and XDA, and someone posted a question and no one replied [maybe cause (s)he sounded like a jerk].
Flashable JI6 Modem (Low battery life, data seems potentially higher in low signal areas)
Flashable JI2 Modem (High battery life, data seems potentially lower in low signal areas)
Flashable JFD Modem (Stock modem file)
[I got this from the Tean Whiskey site]
Can someone enlighten me?
i would also like to know the answer to this please! also, whats the difference between ji6/ji2/jfd/ AND the new jpm?
Real quick overview
Stock is simply the one that came originally on the phone
JI2 has much improved battery life over both stock and JI6, signal strength is supposed to be about the same as stock
JI6 is reported to have much improved signal strength in low signal areas BUT at a cost of battery life. Aka stronger signal but faster battery drain then JI2.
Which one should you use? It depends on whats most important to you. If you need the best signal possible JI6, if you want the best possible battery life JI2.
what about jpm, the new froyo baseband? is that any good compared to the others?

adm1jtg! When you say lower battery life, how much lower in terms of hours?
If the difference is one hour I would rather use JI6 since my privider doesn't deliver a good signal.
Thanks.
So what version is the ota ji6?

Is that a serious question?
How do you think the modems got their names? From the firmware build names that Samsung used.
JI6 modem = JI6 firmware (ota)
JI2 modem = JI2 firmware (leaked)
JFD modem = JFD firmware (stock)

For me personally JI6 was horrible battery life. With a good rom and JI2 I could run 24 plus hours with lightish use. With JI6 I couldn't make it 8 hours same exact config. I also didnt personally notice any difference in data speeds at all and I am in a good signal area so cannot comment on increased signal strength from JI6

The new froyo builds by eugene all use JI6 or JI2
My battery also drains fast with JI6, but I get signal at work and with JI2 I don't, so it's worth it for me. But, I have a charger at work, so it's not really a big deal & I have a couple spare batteries that I can swap when needed.
If battery life is important to you, then I honestly suggest staying away, you can watch your phone and see the battery drop!

thanks for responding.
I will try to stay with JI6 for now because my provider has a very weak signal in many locations.
Does JI2 has a fix for the GPS issue?
Hi,
i am confused does Radio have significant impact on battery life ?
When i am froyo Bell 2.2.2 Radio(N_01.77.15P) and battery life is just amazing
ok now when i flash GB ROMs (any for that matter) battery life decreases like 60% drop in over all life.
can any one tell me which Radio is best for Gb ROMs in terms of battery life.
Tried Radios:
N_01.77.30s.
N_01.100.00R
No impact either
and i also tried different kernels (stock French kernel and 1.1 OC UV)
not much of difference.
can any one shed some light on the subject matter ?
Well from my personal experience, you're always going to get bettery battery life from non-overclockable kernels and stock radio's, simply because they aren't modified in any way. If I were you I would either download and flash the stock radio / kernel for your phone and use that or mess around with different combos till you finally find one that provides a good experience. HOWEVER, keep in mind that if you aren't erasing the previous kernel before you're trying this stuff it may bleed through and will not maybe show you the true potential of the kernel you're flashing. Use fastboot to "fastboot erase boot" to erase the previous kernel before you flash a new one.
edit;spelling
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Iphone > galaxy s 2.
GB+Radio+Kernel=Broken
Iphone suck
My .15 radio has worked great froyo and gb. My modded gb stock is fine. I just flashed a kerned and uv'ed and have seen improvement.
Iphone > galaxy s 2.
This question will become more of a factor when CM7 officially arrives.
When CM7 arrived on the SGS, a whole bunch of new modems popped out of nowhere...

Okay so I've been messing around with roms lately and I'm somewhat a flashaholic lol
But now I'm really looking for something flexible but GOOD on battery life.
What Combo is best for battery life?
such as Modem & Kernal (+ Rom)
I'm currently on this (at the moment):
Rom: MIUI V4 (360 PRODUCTIONS)
Kernel: 3.1.10-subZero-1.6 End_of_Line)) #167
Baseband Version: T959UVKA7
My battery life isn't really too special, I have wifi on, 3G preferred, auto brightness, sound on high. . .
85% - Discharging 2h 5m 30s on Battery
Any ideas on bettery battery life or is this pretty much good/normal?
also my battery isn't a samsung battery its an MYBAT 3.7V LI-ION Battery VLN-08 1200mAH . not too sure if that plays a big role in this.
sidenote: TWS IS ONLY 4%.
Here are tips not ROM/kernel specific http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20245857

I'm going to make an assumption here, and perhaps it is an incorrect one.
I've installed countless ROM's on my Vibrant, and I've had mine a VERY long time (got mine the week before the official launch...long story).
I've found no roms that match the overall battery life of Samsung 2.2 froyo based roms. It is for this reason that, though I've tinkered with practically every single gingerbread, ics, and jb rom ever released, I always go back to my personal favorite as a daily driver. Project V w/Bali 1.8.8 kernel and KB5 baseband.
My assumption is that the "black box" effect is at play. Getting the last baseband available to us (KB5) to happily play with later builds of android has always been an exercise in frustration. Sure it has been made to "work" with later builds, but given the closed nature of it it's clear it just doesn't work as seamlessly well with anything else.
My battery life with 2.2 based roms has always been way better than later android builds, often lasting twice or more as long.
Thanks for the link I'll take a look at it.
@masterotaku : Everyone says Froyo has the worst battery life ever :\ but I also believe what works for my phone may not work for yours, and I do know Froyo is a very stable rom it was the rom i ended up going back to and sticking with on my MyTouch .

Slim bean with stock kernel getting a full day with moderate usage and one thing I took the Samsung 1650 mah battery but don't know how much difference it makes but happy with slimbean

The best thing I ever did was to buy the Anker 1800mAH battery for my phone. Probably due to the fact that the stock battery is getting up there in age as I'm sure everyone's is. I recommend everyone buy one.
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?

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.

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.

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.

Use Betterbattery stats or Gsam Battery Monitor to see what is using the battery or keeping the phone awake.
With out more information people will just be guessing
No its not just you.Theres been several threads about this since its release.
You can revert back to 4.0.3 which will cure that problem.
No need to search,or post in the LS8 thread,or muck around with BBS etc.
"noob ok...lazy noob not ok"
Well, who knows? Maybe search first, because this topic has been discussed way too many times by now.

so what you are saying is that, this is a REAL ISSUE and that samsung must release a fix for this, right???
is this a real posibility , like would Samsung ever consider to realease a FIX for this, did they ever do it in the past in a similar case?
or maybe if were lucky in a year or 2 they will, by then...
No it means some people are having worse battery life then on ICS but I have better batter life than on ICS if you read the other threads about the same topic over the last few days you might see something that helps you improve the battery life. Or install battery stats and see what is using the battery

Hello and please let me give my personal experience.
I think it is a matter of modem.
It depends on country/carrier.
I had the same problem exactly, I flashed a XXLQ6 modem [even though it is for 4.0.4 firmware - I don't know if I did something dangerous for my phone, I am a newbie], signal is much better and battery lasts longer.
3G - H - H+ : smooth and stable internet browsing with the new modem.
My country is Greece . Carrier is COSMOTE. Stock Samsung XXLS8 firmware. PhilZ-cwm6 - Safe Stock Based Kernel v4.00-b39 from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270
I hope I was helpful with my 1st post here.
Yes the modem is one of the possible problems you can have and flashing a modem that works better for your area is the best option if the stock one does not work well as you have done.
The OP says nothing is using his battery but yet the battery goes flat so it is not possible to help with that as something is draining the battery else it would not go flat unless the battery is faulty but then it would not last for any ROM.
I use XXLQ6 modem as well
Congrats on the 1st post...
just turn off Google Now and Google localization. it should increase your battery life.
I had drain went to millitant rom, now my battery is better then ics
