[Q] Slow H+ - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Flashed to my previous modem I9300XXLE8, and getting solid E/3G connection..

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,
PS I need some thanks to climb XDA ranks

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:

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?

s3 can take a lot of uv, i have undervolted cpu by 75mv and gpu by 50mv and have no issues, phone runs cooler too, try uv in stages, 25, Then 50, then 75 You just have to change the audio as this makes a massive diffetence

What is the best modem for Chile?

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.

How to make wifi better

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.

I flashed siyah 1.5.3 with CM10 teamasek rom but wifi still doesnt work. I dont options for wifi inside Stweaks.

What I want is the best combo for the best wifi performance. Best combo rom - kernel - whatever. I really need to improve my wifi performance at home.

3g drains like mad

Hi there
I'm finding a solution for my battery drain when using 3g when i'm on the go.
I want to keep using the 3g because of uts speed. So no 2g involved..
Is there any way to improve battery life when using 3g? I turn it off when ibdont use it btw.
Im running RR3.0.8 + DorimanX kernel 5.78.
Kind regards
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
..Using RR 3.8 with (stock) Siyah and battery life (2 days of average usage) seems to be ok, and I never turn it off... so first of all, try to flash Siyah kernel, then try to flash some other MODEM for GS2 (working on JB!)

You are running a ROM that is based on CM10 and AOKP and a known bug is the RIL crash and/or RIL wakelocks (although not all people seem to have it). In your case it`s probably the wakelock that`s causing the problem. Only a hour ago or so Codeworkx anounced a new CM10 build that could fix this issue, so either switch to ICS for now or flash the newest experimental build from the CM10 thread if your battery life sucks.
Attention though. DorinmanX Kernel is not compatible with the newest CM10 builds and neither is the official Siyah kernel, so you can only use it with the Stock CM10 kernel.
Try and install BetterBatteryStats and leave your phone for a couple of hours with 3G on and look up if you have wakelocks and what`s causing it.
You can also install an App called "GetRil" and see if your current RIL and baseband match and if not you can install a matching one right from the App. I heard that helped some people with RIL problems.

1. Did you mean, you are experiencing heavy battery drain when using 3G to surf the internet? If yes, then what's your average browsing time on 3G.
Changing your Modem my improve your battery, but a little bit.

2. Did you mean, you are experiencing heavy battery drain when in standby with 3G enabled?

i guess ill just wait for RR to fix the issue with CM10. And update it than.
Btw. With GetRIL. I download a new one but it keeps saying it isnt compatible. I've downloaded the recommended.

[Q] [q] which rom to use?

Hi I am 15 years old and i have a samsung galaxy s2 GT-I9100 with stock ics 4.0.3 (exactly I9100XXLPS). It have some issues with (not opening some times) wifi and several battery drain when im playing games ( need for speed, asphalt, etc). I want to play games and surfing but my phone does not keep its battery until night. So I want a rom and a kernel which have no much battery drain, fix wifi issue and if its possible to extend the wifi signal...
Sorry for my poor english.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, i'm also 15 yr old, btw i'm from Serbia(if u know where is it...), if u using cf kernel it has a wifi bug so i suggest u to install siyah or dorimanx kernel... And, i think themes like this(whats best rom, which to use, ...) are forbidden, sorry btw try SuperNexus rom, for me that's best rom for begginers, wish u a luck !
I have to say that ROMs are all about personal preference. Imo you should test out various ROMS to see what's best for you...
That being said, I'm currently using Cm7 on my I777 and it has great battery life (although I suspect it has something to do with turning the second core off and using Siyah GB.)
For Jellybean my preferred ROM is Super Nexus... I got pretty good battery on that one too!

I'm using PA 2.54 with Dorimanx 7.17 kernel with moderate UV and battery save settings from STweaks. I deactivate auto-running non-useful apps and location services, use lower brightness, uninstalled some system apps and frozen others, etc. Search forum for more info

Sorry, but i am not a begginer and i know where is serbia... Anyway i am using stock kernel too now. Also i was using latest jelly bean resurection remix with latest siyah a week ago, but latest resurrection remix version had a very big issue with severe battery drain, so i decided to return to stock unbranded 4.0.3 and then try an other rom. Thats why i create this threat, for not trying all s2 roms.....

How many battery cycles did you let the battery settle for? You should give your battery at least 3 cycles before you judge the life of the battery after you flash something. You can also try CPU spy from the play store to see if your device is deep sleeping. Also try better battery stats to see if you have any wakelocks.

I use RR 3.1.2 and I don't think there is a severe battery drain. Use better battery statsto know what caused it, at the first place.

I give the battery 10+ battety cycles in each rom i try before i report... I will try battery stats and set cpu but i think (because i have tried them in rr) they will not give me the exact reason about my problem. I will try again and post here the results.
Anyway, thank you.

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
