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.

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"

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
Hi! I'm searching for a good radio to work with dutch T-Mobile and my sgs2.
Thanks in advance.
Your best bet is to try them yourself, flashing a modem is not dangers, there is also no such thing as best modem, it very much depends on the area you are in.

I would go for the XXJVU one. That's the one I use and I've tried many of them.
I am currently on LP7 and works rather well I must say.
Some people say the bad modem will decrease battery etc but I havent encountered that yet.
just stick with the more standard one such as LPH/LPR/LPQ or KI4

Thanks, but it's an I9000 modem, not I9100.
Hi Guys,
I recently got the SG2 on AT&T (i777) and the first day I had it stock I was getting consistent H+ connection in my house and pretty much everywhere I was going. I ran the speedtest app a couple times, and I was averaging 2.5-4 mbps downloading which wasn't too bad.
That same night I rooted the phone and flashed Phonebreaker 2.1 rom following the correct steps (Not my first time rooting/flashing roms, I've done it to my Tmobile SG2 a few times). However the following day it seems my data connection has become inconsistent and speeds have slowed down to a drag. The indicator on the phone can never stay on H+ or even H..it consistently cycles from H+ to 3G to H (tried it in same locations as the first day with the phone). I ran the speedtest a few times and my download speeds ranged from 300Kbps to 1.6mbps if I was lucky.
I tried looking around in all the forums, I re-did the APN settings found in these forums, I troubleshooted with AT&T but to no avail.
Anyone have any suggestions? Would much appreciate it as I love this ROM minus this data issue I'm having.
FYI - Stock only shows H+ even if your not actually on it.
Its an illusion AT&T does to make the user think they have great connection everywhere.
Also try flashing a different modem, that might be the issue with your speeds, cause I changed to the leak's modem upon many request.
Thanks LiLChris06!
I tried the KH7 modem which did nothing, and I tried the KK6 which seemed to improve it a bit. I went into AT&T today and they said maybe it's just a defective phone and were willing to switch it out, which I might do.
However I love this ROM so much, is it available without the custom modem you added or with a different modem in the install rather then the UCLK2 I think you included?
Thanks

Hmmmm...what you mean by is it available without the custom modem? Maybe Im reading it wrong. As you know, because you said you have tried different modems, there are many different modems you can try. Shouldn't matter what modem the ROM comes with. Think there is a modem thread around here that has some good info. I think Task also just uploaded the the new LC5 Modem
I should have worded my reply a little better, and it might come across as a newbie question but basically I was wondering if that rom came with the stock modem the i777 comes with because when I had the phone the first day stock, the data speeds were pretty reasonable (3-4 mbps/downloading).
Wasn't sure if flashing different modems other then the one that came with the phone originally would help out my issue, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to try. I did find the UCLC5 modem so I'll try that in a few minutes along with the other ones I haven't tried. If no luck, I'm going back to AT&T to exchange, probably defective phone like they said.
Thanks again for everyone's help
Sweet, found a solution!
I tried all 7 different modems under the same conditions, KJ1, KJ4 and KK6 were around the same ball park. KH7 and UCLC5 were a bit slower but close to each other, UCLC2 was by far the worst..and the winner was KJ2, big difference.
Thanks guys!

Hey there guys,
I'm just wondering what is the best (from personal use and perhaps statistics) modem to use for the orange network in the UK, preferably southern UK if it makes any difference? I used to use LPS which was quite good but recently have been getting next to nothing in signal where I live.
I would try out all the modems for myself so I wouldn't need to post this but I have no time to myself either so just an answer that you think is good for orange is good enough for me!
Thank you!
I know this is a very nooby question and I appreciate that but I would still love an answer!
Catley!

well, here http://www.veyka.co.uk/radios/ you have a list of modems..download and flash via recovery i recomand to you nelp2,gives me full signal but drains battery a little much than others modems. personally i use xxki4 is best for battery life. and if i have 3 lines of signal is good. let 3 days the modems..to stable it,and if is not good u may try others.
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.

I'm using that modem myself and everything seems to be grand. I'm on three as well. Data speeds are also quite good!

Yes all around the world as posted .

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
