[Q] Modem issues - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone. I've tried many modems (XXLS8, NELP4, XXKI4, BVLP7 etc.) but each of them had some different issue. First was loosing network, with second the front speaker stopped working, with some I wasn't able to hang up the phone - the red button only minimize "the call" to status bar... Just noone worked fine :\ I don't know what to do yet! Any advices, does RIL have to match with modem? (I have CM 10.1.3 stable)

I've had these issues when I've accedently flashed Samsung modems on CM ROM. If you're on CM or AOKP type ROM - reflash the ROM to get the default modem back. Don't flash other modems unless you're 100% sure it's made for non-stock ROMs.

Hey, I also had some issues tried more than 5 different modems that were supposed to be good and none worked. But then i started to go through all of the modems that are linked on the cyanogenmod wiki site for the i9100 and the 4 one solved it.
i think you should just keep on trying different modems. If you have issues with all 12, you can start looking somwhere else. Also don't touch the ril its apparently not a good idea.

[Q] Signal problem on SGS2

Aboute a month a go i bought a galaxy s2 phone.it came with GB 2.3.4 and for a while all was well.
When the update for ICS 4.0.3 came through Kies, i decided to update. The procedure when fine but.....since then my signal has been rather poor. I get four bars ocasionaly mostly it has three. If i start the data or the wifi connections, the signal tends to drop.
I thought the official rom was rubbish so i changed it to Resurrection Remix 1.9....but the problem persists.
I'm thinking of switching back to GB, to see if that would fix my problem.
Does anybody have any ideea why this problem occured in the first place?
Thanks,

Chances are the different modem in the ICS rom might be causing the issues, assuming you can't pin it down to other sources I.E network issues.
Try a bunch of different modems until you find one that works; search on here/Google, they come in CWM flashable packages & take all of a minute to flash. You flash one, test it out for a bit - properly; over fair amount of time (couple of hrs) & preferably @ different locations, if it's no good you flash another one, etc, etc.
Edit to add - Given you didn't have these issues with the 2.3.4 stock rom you were using, find out which modem is in that rom & then search for a CWM flashable modem package on here & flash that one first. Might well fix your problems rather than flashing a whole rom. Yes, you can use GB modems with ICS roms & VV
Thanks for the quick response.
Unfortunately I didn't note the original rom/modem....so I have no ideea which one it was
I found on the forum that there are a couple of modems ( These modems are KE7, KH3, KI3 and KI4 )that work well so i will give them a try first.
Hopefully this will solve my problem.
I will post the results as soon as I have them.

[Q] No Wifi at all on ICS and JB Roms

I've been trying to fix this for weeks, but I just can't find a working solution so I am asking you guys for help!
My WiFi works fine if im running a Gingerbread Rom, I currently have WIUI (the GB Version) flashed and the Wifi works fine. It won't work on any ICS and JB Roms however. I've tried MIUI, CM9, Resurrection (Both the ICS and JB Versions), F1 Galaxy Nexus, Lite'ning Rom, Paranoid Android and more, all I get is "Authentication Error". I tried to restart it several times, change the Network Security, the Radio Channel (I dont know it thats the proper translation, excuse my english), and installed various Apps (WiFix and such), Kernels, Modems etc but none of them seem to help.
I'm so frustrated with my Galaxy S2, so I'd be really grateful if someone could help me out!
You tried many ROMs, but WiFi is controlled by kernel :silly:
So, try other kernels.

[Q] [XXLSJ] Modem issue

Hi,
Sorry if my question looks noobish but I can't find anything relevant. I was running NeatRom Lite for a while without major issues except some touchwizz FCs, and decided to install the latest Omega. Now from times to times I got disconnected from the network and I can't even register on any available carrier.
1) Do you think a new modem will solve the problem ? I thought this was RIL related but the application Get RIL is only for AOSP/AOKP roms...
2) Are all modems working with XXLSJ ? The signal in France is really bad so I'd really like to change it...
Thanks in advance

Modem that comes with LSJ is LS6..I never had a problem with it. Try another modem like LQ6 .And i have used neatrom lite for weeks. But i never had a single FC, Specially with touchwiz. Are you sure you did a full wipe before installing the rom??
Ok I'll give a try to LQ6, thanks !

[Q] Galaxy SII / I9100G - GPS lock issue

Hi Experts
I have i9100g with neatrom. I also wants to use custom rom because stock rom is very heavy and has lots of default service/process running
which makes device sluggis.
My problem is my GPS doesnt lock on custom AOSP roms. I have tried many version on CM from 9 to latest 11, Slim roms, MIUI, PA etc. GPS doesnt work
on any of them. The only custom rom on which my GPS works is OMNI ROM but problem is on OMNI rom also GPS takes very long time 5-10 minutes to lock
and many times doesnt lock at all.
using stock rom or neat rom GPS works like charm and lock time is around 10 sec without fail.
I heard some of the nightly builds of CM has this problem fixed but i couldnt find any. I have tried flashing a lots of roms.
Can somebody please let me know which version has this fix or is there any way to fix this issue?
I have tried all faster GPS kind of app on play store but didnt help. changing NTP server also didnt work.
I have read all the post related to this issue but coudn't find the solution.
PLEASE SOMEBODY HEAP....THIS GPS PROBLEM IS KILLING ME....NO MONEY FOR NEW PHONE
Thanks

I had the exact same experience with my wife's phone that I bought of ebay. I even flashed a variety of RIL's (radio interface layers) and different modems. I'd never had the problem with my SGS3 before, and have hundred of different roms on it.
Anyway it seemed to be a kernel issue and after trying ever combination possible I found that wifi would always work perfectly on any stock based rom or any CM based rom (assuming that hey used the CM kernel). It wouldn't even work on a CM rom if I flashed a different kernel such as Yank's, Boeffla or Googy.
Also at the time I trawled the net looking for answers and found one or two others that had the same issue, but could still use stock Sammy or CM. Strange... almost felt like it was an odd batch.
