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 .

use faster fix to set your region pool
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Do you have active data connection (mobile or wifi) when attempting a gps fix?
If not, it can take up to several minutes for a lock if you have not used Gps for a while since that is how it work.

It will change the ntp pool to one for your region, as the one that came as stock may well not be set for your region

Ask in that thread as i am not sure and my GPS.conf on SGS3 is hacked anyway so i cannot test it . Works on a number of phones .

Hey JJ, mind sharing your GPS.config with me,? I hacked my one on the sgs1, but not as sure with this one due to glonas

Try clear your cache in programs/all/maps and try again

If nothing of the above helps, do a factory reset in backup and restore or in the worst case reflash the stock rom with Odin.

Good idea. If that doesn't work then most likely it's hardware related. Mime locks on in seconds. GPS is light years ahead of S1 and S2.
But as mentioned earlier make sure you have a data connection or it could take ages.

Its the same but i just use the UK Pool server .
You could try the AGPS patch as a replacement editing your GPS.conf file to match .

So it keeps freezing, what can we do?

A lot of people do experience frequently freezing after the latest update from Samsung. A few send in to repair and some did do their own magic stuff. But so far there isn't any clear solution. I think we ow a explanation from Samsung. This is a well known problem and people all over the world have it. But how can we get Samsung to take care. We didn't pay 600 € for a phone that freezes all the time.
I gues I bring mine in repair tomorrow.
Any tips?

Bring your phone to repair...this will increase the failure device KPI Samsung might have.

Yes but I read that a lot of people got there device back from repair and they just reinstalled the firmware and that solved nothing. So I just don't want my phone away for 2 weeks and it didn't solve a crap...

very very few have a freezing problem a lot of the actual freezing problems are user error not a fault with the phone .

In service centre they will only format your phone, u can do it urself. They people only have one solution that is reinstall firmware.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yup I would fully wipe your device and reinstall the update. This is one of the reasons OTA will always cause an issue.
But I think I have a problem. 6 months ago I dropped and my camera screen came off... so that problaby meens I void my warranty?

? Sorry..?
Do you have memory of dropping your phone or maybe installing an APK that is not safe?
Maybe that could be a problem for you.
Just a question, not the answer.

The last time it dropped was 6 months ago. So I don't think that's the cause. I also resetted my whole phone a few times so an APK can't be the problem either I think. Or the APK must have broken some hardware? Is that possible?
Since the latest update from Samsung I haven't had any problems with it! What I noticed is that when I clear the RAM memory it only closes 10 apps. Before that were 30 apps. Does the update just limit the RAM or does it close less apps?

I installed the latest file from PHN from sammobile ( I9300XXELL4_I9300PHNELL2_I9300CEELL1_HOME.tar ) After the update my broadband-version is I9300CEELL1 , Buildnumber I9300XXEMC2.
Another question. When everything was OK and I didn't do anything, in the playstore my phone was named as T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S3. Then I installed the PHN version from Sammobile and now it only says Samsung Galaxy S3. In recovery it also says Applied multy CSC. Should I get another region code, the one from T-mobile netherlands?

Snapchat problem with new leaked ME7

Hi,
I found an issue with the 4.2.2 rom, whenever you take a video with snapchat instead of recording the full 10 seconds it only does 7 seconds.
When I was on cm10.1 it was only 2-3 seconds.
So I assume it's not the apps fault the rom itself.
I have confirmed the issue with my friend who is also running the leaked base.
Many thanks
