It is the modem installed on your phone...yes it affects your battery life, signal reception, temperature of your device.
Search for modems in XDA and flash it because no one can tell you which modem suits you it is different for each device
F.Y.I flash jb modem for jb ROM and not ICS ROM :thumbup:

I recently installed Omega V8.0 on my Galaxy SIII. Previously I had good H+ connection with stock ROM (Telenor Branded, with Telenor CSC). But after rooting and Custom ROM, my connection is getting pretty slow.
Should i try to flash Nordic or Telenor CSC? Will it improve my H+ connection?
Current
AP: I9300XXBLFB
CP: I9,00XXLFB
CSC: I9300EURBLFB
Any help is mutch appreciated. :good:
Your CSC doesn't change the speed, the modem does.
You can try flashing your old modem again, or try out other modems until you've found a satisfactory one.
Note that the faster/more stable modems always drain more battery.
I prefer it that way though, what good is an expensive phone to me if it's slow but can stay alive > 24 hours?
Thanks man, that clarifies a lot for me. Should I leave CSC as it is?
Gonna try out new modems when I get back home.

You should check if you can still do voice calls... People have been experiencing problems with this update and mixing modems with it.

You are so right, had issue with voice calls. Flashed back to I9300XXLFB, and no problems with voice call. However I feel that 3G has somehow improved
Anyway thanks,

Yeah only the XXLFB modem works with the XXLFB rom for now :S I found my H+ wasn't amazing, but H works awesome? I would have thought H+ should be faster than H?
I am having another issue, ill just post it here. I recently flashed Omega V9.0. But when i try to flash "Extended Power menu.zip" or "Home button lag.zip", CWM says it's bad zip. Yes, i updated Omega Files to V1.05
Any suggestions?

H+ is a newer version/revision of HSPA. There can be multiple reasons why it's slower for you:
- the HSPA+ capable antenna is probably overloaded
- you have a better signal with the antenna running the old revision
CWM says it's bad zip.

Re-Download the files. They are probably broken.
I have tried several times to download the files, ill try again with 3G connection instead.
V9.0 is awesome

I am experiencing slightly glitchy animations with TW launcher. Will flashing another kernel improve this?
I prefer smoothness above all like battery and performance.
Can someone recommend a custom kernel? I am currently on latest Omega V9.0 and stock insecure kernel.

All I can say is I'm running siyah's latest kernel on Omega 9.0 and my phone's flying with excellent battery life and no visible lag.
Give siyah's kernel a try. :thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
It's noteworthy that you should install the ExTweaks app (free) from Play Store. It allows you to tweak several parameters of the kernel either for performance or battery life. I always go with performance on all.
Stay clear from the overclocking parts of the CPU/GPU sections though, the phone is fast enough as-is even if some people seem to believe their (mostly SSD-related) lags are gone by overclocking. Placebo ftw
Thank you guys. I flashed Siyah, and I have no lag whatsoever. Battery is okay too. I downloaded ex tweaks, but I didn't bother to alter settings, as I don't see why I should yet.
Should I just leave them on default?

I've been playing with the rom of my phone, now i am in NeatRom it has an amazing battery life, now i want to know what differences makes changing the modem, and what is the best for Chile, Claro-chile company, thanks you all for help me, sorry if i made some mistakes writting this thread.
Well... I used LPS in cm9 and worked really well. No overheat, good battery life.
Now on cm10, experienced overheating with LPS and flashed LQB. Now it works as it should.
Note that it's only my experience and you have to test modems by yourself.

I've flash LPS, how i said before, i am in NeatRom 4.0.4 amazing battery life, and hope that with this MODEM will be better thanks you all, tomorrow i'm gonna post how it is going!
What modem are you using? I need one for CM10.1 for my i9100 Movistar.. Im using now UHLPF(with same ril).
Hey
This last weekend I rooted and installed different roms to try. Most of them still have poor wifi performance, just like stock.
Is there a way to make wifi better? Maybe flashing a new kernel, a new modem or something?
Thanks.
Modems/Radios are meant for Service network provider thingies, like your signal. Whereas, Kernels are for more "internal" things, they affect battery life and WIFI.
so i suggest you flash a custom kernel that best suits you
I hope this helps!
Thanks!
I was thinking of trying siyah kernel. Is it the best one for Wi-Fi performance or is there another one better?

If you're on ICS, Siyah and Franco both worked well for me, if you're on JB, Siyah alpha/beta builds are the only option until the i9300 sources are released.

Hey guys i have an S2 that i bought second hand and with the box that is IMEI matched box it has 2 manuals(swedish & Norwegain) so i suspect its the nordic s2. I've tried *#1234# and i just get an error on that so i cant tell its CSC version. The other thing is im running on cm10 4.1.1 jelly bean with siyah 4.1.5 kernel. I want to go back to the original ICS 4.0.4. Now i'm located in the pakistani region n i've seen that i should have firmware that have JP codes. I'm confused since my s2 maybe from nordic region should i flash that firmware or since im located in pakistan should i flash the JP version.?? please help guys it will be greatly appreciated.
The main reason i wanna go back is becoz of battery issues, i've tried everything possible, lowest brightness, extweaks, unvolting , wake locks n several modem changes.. i'm running on XXLPS modem which i find is the best for me out of others.. i cant seem to find the JP code modem that is recommended for my region .. So im hoping the samsung original ICS 4.0.4 will give me a better battery life. Right now i barely get 2 hours of screen time. and i start texting for like 15 mins the battery falls like crazy.. I've calibrated the battery and everything possible, i have around 4200 mV when my battery is fully charged.. Could it be an issue with my battery? how can i test to see if my battery is working normal? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. thanks guys..
Please can you also give me suggestions as to which rom would be the best for battery life?

first the samsung code *#1234# will not work on Custom roms like CM10, u can dwnld the stock ICS 4.0.3(4.0.4 is not recommended as its not stable compared to v4.0.3 and has this dreaded 'eMMc brickbug' in it) from www.sammobile.com pertained to ur region and use 'Odin' on ur PC to flash the same to ur phone
Imo Latest SlimBean+Dorimanx kernel (with tweaked 'battery profile) is very good.

At last i used it About > 18 hours with screen on time ~ 4 hours with ordinary mid use.
Ofcoz u or anyone could gain it much more if u optimize the extweaks deeper & safest (without freeze & sod)
But atm I've been using latest cm10+dorimanx 7.1 since those were updated mali driver & daily new features & bugfix..

Mali was a codename for our gpu which is integrated by exynos 4210 SoC.
Since it's not full open sourced by Samsung, CM Team had a creative to pull a new mali driver from i9305 leak to make it updated a fix worked in cm10 which provides better graphics performance & some stability.
Follow @samsungexynos & boom their any tweets by "please release 4210 full docs now..!" etc.. they've been in big pressure now by s2 communities..

Stanley, jottermine & kilometers thank you all for your replies i am extremely thankful and will try them each in turn. Hopefully i will find success.
As for you inception i am aware everyone uses their phones differently but i asked for others opinions so its surely not a concern of yours whether someone tells me their liking of a rom.
Anyways nonetheless i will heed your words and refrain from originating anymore like minded topics.
Thanks again guys. Xda FTW
