[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Because depending on the situation sometimes your device might have decided to ramp up its Wifi radio power. It all depends. How you orient your phone to the wifi antenna is a different thing too. You can tilt a laptop and the wifi speeds can change. It may be you happened to turn your phone a different way and maybe it picked up a stronger signal momentarily. You might've held your phone the same way during the test, but you know once it picks up a certain speed, say it connects at 54mbps, it will try to hold on to that and downgrade only when necessary. IT could've been pure luck/coincidence/how you held your phone that it got a higher connection speed initially and then dropped off.

Considering we KNOW that radio has nothing to do with wifi performance (relegated to kernel/ROM), then we know that the variance you're seeing is real world variance.

This means that whatever variance you see is unrelated to the radio, and this variance can also translate to variance in radio performance so any GSM variations here are also subject to fluctuations due to position, orientation, etc.

What I'm saying is that even radio rankings like these are subject to error, and that it doesn't necessarily say a certain radio sucks. Considering a lot of performance has been almost even, I'd say there's very little difference going radio to radio. There probably are some that have been proven bad and maybe Samsung made edits to them, but for the most part, many of these radios perform identically.

I'm not trying to disprove your work per say, but I think a lot of people claim noticeable improvements, but it's all just a placebo effect. This isn't just about radio, but kernel modifications and what not. 99% of battery problems are due to faulty apps and rogue apps. Sometimes a reboot solves all of those issues, but we still talk about kernel performance making huge jumps in battery life. A lot of times it's simply done by adjusting your screen brightness settings or changing the auto brightness table. That could hugely affect battery yet people will still argue over kernels. The difference is so marginal it's hard to say whether there was an improvement or it was masked by the daily variance.

XXLQ6 as very unstable signal (signal was always changing, didn´t fixed for long: 62% / 65% against 72% / 75% of XXLQ5), consumes more battery than XXLQ5 (almost 1% per hour like NELP3, but without the signal strenght - XXLQ5 in 5h consumed 3% battery), and my Wi-Fi signal was weaker, didn´t pass the 2 bars (i know that most of you say that it's proven that modem doesn´t handle the Wi-Fi, but i think that considering the Kernel it makes some difference).

Back on XXLQ5... for me the best so far in Performance/Battery :good:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] marc.knuckle:
i was just reading through the official firmware section and went to the vodafone uk one. this in bold, PDA:BULPC| PHONE:BULP6| CSC:VODLP8 , i presume is the modem.

anyone have access to this? would it work with non-official rom and kernel?

cheers guys
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CamoGeko:
Wrong.

Modem = Phone.

Also, as stated in my Modem Guide in post 2... if any of you still bother to read that is.... "any Modem works with any ROM". ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] t4ure4n:
Thanks for all the good info and links in this thread.

I have a question regarding Modem

Can some one please advise me which modem is best for

Network = T-Mobile UK

Kernel = Fluxi Kernel

ROM = RootBox ICS

Modem = XXLPS (the the dBm very rarely goes above 50%).

Kind Regards
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mcarans:
I'm on T-Mobile UK and I settled on NELP4 after testing a few modems including KH3, NELP2, NELP3, LQ5 and LPX.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] marc.knuckle:
thanks for the help geko but i am sorry i offended you by asking a question.

the question wasnt about a modem working with any rom it was due to it being what i thought to be a vodafone specific modem so wasnt sure it would work with a non standard rom such as resurrection remix.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Addicted2Speed:
I don´t doubt that Wi-Fi is more related with the Kernel than with the modem, but the modem makes a little difference.

For example, when i tried XXLQ6, in my house the signal didn't pass the 2 bars... even in front of the modem it didn't reach the 4 bars (where the others gave 99% to 100%, XXLQ6 didn't pass the 65%.... when i went back to XXLQ5 voilá, the 100% in front of the modem reaperaded).

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CamoGeko:
That doesn't matter, any modem works with any rom. It's not a vodafone specific modem, it was just released in a vodafone package.

I was using a Singapore modem - DXLP9 with O2 network in UK. Which gave me the most stable signal and battery consumption. Until I got rid of my S2 of course. So that says it all really, trial and error is your best way of finding a Modem that works best for you.

Now I understand why pulser left this thread to get pushed back to archives.

No one on XDA reads past the title of the thread anymore.

What's even more disturbing is that nobody so far has even said thank you for keeping this thread going and organising the 1st Page with latest links. Plus writing a modem guide, even though it's in 2nd post I highly doubt that anyone actually reads it.

Seems a lot of people just like to take, take, take and not give, or even show appreciation by reading the information given to them properly.

Almost making me regret taking over this thread to keep it updated with latest stuff about modems as no one really seems to give a **** anymore.

For the millionth time, we don't know. It depends on your region and carrier.

It takes 2 minutes to flash and try, so why don't you?

Sorry about the whole modem/radio mixed thing, back in my day(tm) when I first joined XDA when it was all about Windows Mobile on HTC hardware they were called radios, and it stuck ;)

There is no "average opinion".

I9100P BULP7 and BCLP7

If you want to make your own grab the "I9100_CWM_modem_zip_template.zip" and drop the modem.bin inside it

By default it won't work on I9100P, so you will need to edit the META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and add the following line below the other getprop lines

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100P" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100P" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "GT-I9100P");

Otherwise it will refuse to flash on an I9100P

Should look like this

ui_print(">>");
ui_print(">> Samsung Galaxy S II");
ui_print(">> Radio Firmware Updater");
ui_print(">>");

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "galaxys2" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "GT-I9100" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100M" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100M" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "GT-I9100M" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100T" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100T" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "GT-I9100T");
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100P" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100P" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "GT-I9100P");

3 - zip again and flashed it;

4 - it says modem firmware upgrade, but when it restarts if i go to phone options the old modem is there.

You´re saying that i should put the modem file into the zip without extracting? :confused:
