Hi. I am a pretty new user and I wanted to ask which modem is the best for battery life and performance in Asia. Example zsjpg for sgs.

Varies mate, there is no "best". Generally I like to use a modem from a firmware that was released in my country. I'm on a modem thats been made specifically for 3 UK phones for example. In your case though I would just try each on until I found one I liked. I see a lot of people using ki3 & ki4 so you could start there

Hi there, can I ask which modem you find best for 3 uk? I'm on neki2 at the moment but I'm not the impressed. Other modems I've tried(ki3 and ki4) seem to struggle to switch to 2g(orange network)
neki2 seems to take forever to switch from 3g to h
I'm on checkrom v4
Thanks
Start with latest modem and work backwards .

Thanks I've tried a few ki3 worked well on voda but I've move to 3 now. This modem works great till it needs to switch to 2g then it does work well with the 3 network so I've used 3 own one. I was just interested to see if anyone had a better option a this one seems a bit slow
Thanks

Wow the selection of ROMs for my shiny new SG2 is amazing. I got mine from Expansys and was going to stick with the stock ROM but the constant switching from 3G to H+ was driving me nuts and I would lose data connectivity every few seconds. As a result I decided to give a custom rom a try. Right now I have the Cognition S2 rom installed and will test it out for a few days but I was wondering if some of you have already gone down this path and found a good/stable rom for AT&T. Most important to me is stability, battery life and reliable data/call connectivity.
Turn off fast dormancy *#9900# been with Cog for awhile and loving it.
There is no Best ROM, different stokes for different folks and all. You really should just test around and see what works best for you.

I guess I shouldn't have said "best" - what I really meant what - looking for some success reports from people running particular roms/modems with AT&T. More often than not reply posts are from users outside of the USA so I was finding it tough to gauge issues here in the states. Of course this is to be expected since none of our carriers are selling the phone yet.
Illicit Hero - thanks I did turn off fast dormancy based on the recommendation in the Cognition instructions.
im with fido, which is rogers which is AT&T and I cant say there are any problems with any of the roms. I am however using Criskelo at the moment without a single problem
ROMs are generally non region specific and the most you may have todo is put in the correct apn settings for Internet and mms, but there is a thread for at&t apn settings so you should be covered there.
As far as modems, just work your way though them till you find one that works well for you, your best bet is starting the with newest and working down till you find a good one.

^ what he said. There is no region specific roms. All roms work fine, just enter the apn if it doesn't register automatically.
I use leomar rom for stock, it has every possible customization and theme available thru rom kitchen app. And then there is cm 7 for pure android fun.

Well said! I'm on AT&T and KH3 modem is working very well, then again, I can't remember a modem that wasn't good with the exception of KG1.

Download speed wouldnt top 100Kbps vs 200Kbps up! and poor signal.
Hi guys,
I recently noticed that the Vodafone reception has been very, very bad. I'm talking 1 - 2 bars MAX and the rest of the time absolutely no reception, anywhere.
Is anyone having this problem? What could be the cause of this? I have a brand new SIM card as well - and on 2.3.7 MIUI ROM. Any help will be appreciated and thanked
Try flashing a different RADIO/MODEM package... Different ones are meant for different regions and yield varying results as far as reception and call quality are concerned. And there's nothing like the "best radio"... That's like asking what's the best religion. It's all about experimentation.
Try KJ1 from here. This is the best modem I've tried/used over the past 2 and a half months. I'm in Geelong and this gives me the best signal strength/coverage & data speeds. KI2 from Cellcom Israel from here was also good.
It could also be a Vodafone lack of coverage/capacity issue as well.
If you find neither of these improves the situation, do what Prassad suggests & try every modem you can get your hands on.

Will that affect the way my current NDT MIUI ROM operates? and do I just flash it through Odin or CWM?

Both vodafone and Telstra sell the T model i9100 galaxy which requires a T modem. Whenever I flash a new rom I reflash with a T modem to get decent reception back.
Sent from my GT-I9100
And funnily enough, the thread which has a link to the modem I suggest he flash has a first line that reads "I9100T Modem from Vodafone Australia"
I have a question for you guys. My mate and I were sitting next to eachother comparing my S2 and his Note last night. We have the same provider obviously. While I had 1 to 0 lines of 3g signal, he had 4 out of 4. I'm running XWLPG with stock modem. Do you think that by changing modems I could improve my signal to be at "Note" level, or the two phones carry simply different hardware and the S2 will never catch as much signal as the Note does?
Thanks,
td
Try other modem, they have great influence on signal. There is a thread about it on forums. KH3 modem is recommended by many users. Good luck !

Look in the modem Thread its different where you live and which provider you have. Test all modems and look which is best for you
Galaxy S2`s are generally incapable of accurately reporting the signal strength (as you will read if you do a bit more Googling) so I wouldnt worry too much about comparing the two different machines.

I know that I can't ask which modem is the best etc, but I have one question regarding which modems to flash. Are they somehow linked to a specific rom / kernel / android version? For example, are modems released in gb roms supposed to be flashed under ics roms?
Every modem can be flashed to your rom, thats no problem

Apologies, but I couldn't find a Modem's thread like we had in S2 forums...I've just got my S3, all rooted & unlocked...Omega ROM being downloaded, however as I'm on Three UK and do tend to get poor signal generally - can someone please recommend the best Modem I can use with this ROM for SIGNAL STRENGTH as I'm not too bothered about data speeds etc!
Thanks in advance...Ash
Try DXLF3, many people around the world (including me) are reporting it working very well.

Also wondering this, can those that have tried confirm that signal strength is better on three network using the above radio than three's stock one, which in my case is FL6 I think.
Again not worried about speeds, just signal strength, especially being able to get better signal in poorer areas?
Am I correct in assuming that different modems will/can ramp up the power more than others when in poor signal areas? Thats basically what I'm after.

Sorry to barge in on the thread. I still have i9100 on 3UK and not having much luck with NELP2, 3, 4 could anyone suggest a better option for 4.0.4.
NEDLI1 has been very good so far for me on S3 on 3uk in london. 6-7mbps down and 2-2.5mbps up in congested london. my s2 only made upto 5mbps with Nelp4/NELS1
Hello everyone. I got my SGS2 just a few days ago so I dont know much about it and I was wondering, what is the best modem for Europe? I got the phone with custom ROM already and the modem is XXLS6. Don't know if it's good for Europe or not.
I tried searching for answer in google, but with no luck.
Thanks in advance to everyone who at least tries to answer my foolish question.
the best thing is to try a few different modems and see which suits you. modems have different pros and cons depending on location.
The thing is I don't even know where to start. I see a list of 50+ modems. And it would take weeks to test them all.
Doesn't your current modem work properly? If not, maybe you can ask in the specific thread(s) about modems which one is the most used in your country.

Well the thing is that with this phone I get no network while I'm at work. Network was ok when I was on my old SGS. And I was thinking that was caused by modem.
Try to found out something about a better modem in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
I thought there was a comment on the first page about some modems that usually work quite well in Europe. Good luck.

in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16980217&postcount=5 you can see "RECOMMENDED MODEMS TO TRY:" - give them a try or just google: s2 modem and your location/carrier. In worst scenario you'll just be back to this thread
test and share what you've learned
