UpInTheAir: With regard to the link to the Thailand KL1 modem file in your sig, I tried it just out of curiosity and I achieved half the internet speed that I normally get. You might be interested to try ripping the modem from this ROM: http://www.wupload.com/file/2640508037/GT-I9100T_THL_I9100TDCKL2_I9100TTHLKL1_I9100TDCKL1.7z

I flashed back to this one and the speed returned to normal... Just a thought : )

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

Refer to his previous posts, His phone is a Korean model, not bought in Thailand.....

Yes but he was using it in Thailand and could not receive any 3G signal.

Also, I have to disagree with your post about the Thai phones. I have extensive experience with both the international 9100 and Thai 9100T models. They will both work with

AIS (900MHz), True (850MHz), and True-H (850MHz) getting 3g H H+ etc. for whatever SIM is inserted.

I cannot argue with your point as I'm only relaying what the sales people from 4 different phone stores here in Songkhla have instructed me.

They sell 2 different SGS2 phones... both of them are identical but on the label of the box it states for DTAC or for AIS.

I was informed that 3G will only work on the carrier the phone was purchased from. The other carrier will default to a lower speed.

Sometimes you just need to flash/match the recommended carrier modem tuned to the specific frequency, or another modem found here on this thread until you get the best combo of signal, strength, stability and speed.

Of course... I was referring to an un-modified phone purchased over the counter.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] UpInTheAir:
Don't know how exactly how you test, but that is the exact modem I ripped out and into the CWM zip. :)

As Thailand networks aren't that great: Sometimes you need to speed test (to same server) quite a few times to get an "average" and checking stability, dbm, asu, etc to get consistent and usable and consistent results.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ApriliaM3:
Ahh, that could be it then I guess...

I did 2 speed tests with my firmware first.

Then I flashed to yours and did 2 speed tests.

I then reflashed back to my firmware and did a further 2 tests.

Just as an experiment, today I went a got 2 new sims to compare against my DTAC sim.

The first was from AIS and the 2nd was from True-Move

I think the biggest issue is DTAC has almost no 3G infrastructure here in Songkha... from the SIM test they were the slowest followed by AIS.

True-Move was by far, the fastest (around 4X faster) but they are considerably more expensive to use.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] UpInTheAir:
I tried a few of the latest modems on the 9100T, LP1 and also LPB to name a few. The closest was LP1, with slightly greater speed, but overall slightly less stability. Wife is running LP1 on her 9100 with AIS with best results.

FYI: Smart 649 isn't too bad:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ApriliaM3:
Thanks, but I only spend 3 months here at a time and then return to Australia.

I need a good prepaid plan that will allow it to remain idle when I'm not here.

From memory, I think DTAC only charges me 20 thb / month to keep the number allocated to me when I'm not here and the sim comes with 300 minutes of free (slow) internet each month.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Right so I've tested some more modems, KE4, KE7, KG1, KF2, KI1, all behave similar but have now gone back to KI4 as I still find this the best.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kitecarl:
Going to agree with you there! I flashed KI4 on your recommendation, and all has been working well. Looks like I'll be #300 on your thanks-ometer.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CamoGeko:
Thanks for all your feedback recently mate. I'm going back to KI4 today as well, seems to work best on O2. :)

Just want to say something about the latest LPB modem. Connection is good, was improved by about 1 bar straight after I flashed it. Was using KI3 before that. However, the battery drain is definitely accelerated slightly. Even after letting the modem settle it's still draining too fast for my liking.

Back to XXKI4 I go. :D

Communicated using an S2 type Droid while floating in CM9 Galaxy
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Likewise tested KI3 again today based on intratechs recommendation for o2 but KI4 I think is better for o2 so will go back to that today.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CamoGeko:
Good idea. I guess it's a unanimous decision that KI4 is the don right now.

I shall be trying XWKI3 later this week to see of there is any difference between that and KI4.

Communicated using an S2 type Droid while floating in CM9 Galaxy
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Smartie36:
I found major issues with KI4 on o2, data stalling being the biggest, having to constantly disable & re-enable packet data or turn on/off flight mode to get the data flowing again!

The modems I've used so far that haven't had this stalling issue has been KL1, KP8 & KPA, currently using KP8, one common thing with any modem I use is rubbish speedtests, browsing seems fast enough but I've never ever had good speedtest results with any modem I've ever used.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ITRC:
KI4

Hi guys, I'm reading all posts on wich is the beste modem for who ... Well I'm on the KI4 for a while and seems pretty good with no probs.

Just one thing gives me chills: I'm working for about 1/2mile of the border with the Netherlands so my connection is almost always on the Netherland network. Pretty annoying! :(

After work, when I drive away from the border it takes more then 30minutes before being back on my provider. Is this normal? Also a reboot doesn't take effect.

Someone the same experience or a known problem?? Thanks in Advance !!:D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MeX_DK:
The XXLPB modem is by far the best one I have seen. My phone has a lot longer standby time with that modem then with any other I have tried thus far

I'm after DVKF2, can anyone post the odin modem file, please? I'm stuck with an incorrect modem and am desperate. Thanks heaps !
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Guess it comes down to area as well my part of London is fine with all modems for data, speeds are decent as well good enough for high quality streaming.

O/T anyone tried three for their data? How do you find them?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Banx4you:
What modem for Croatia?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] phochiom:
Three mobile UK

I'm on 3 mobile UK, good data speeds most of the time, but limited coverage. I tried most modems, and they all feel the same to me. Currently on LP6, fast downloads, fast streaming and browsing. I have all you can eat data contract.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Cool, three good for data but not sure if their general network coverage. The ICS modems are good for data and work well in good reception areas.

Anyone got a working link for BUKI1 :D Vodafone UK
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DaveHTC200:
+1! I could do with that too
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] domyue:
I'm on vodafone Uk too and my phone's reception has gone noticeably down and my GPS doesn't lock at all after I applied a GPS configuration (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447599)

I'm thinking of flashing a modem.

-Wondering how you knew that 'BUKI1' was the correct radio for voda uk shipped galaxy S2's??

-Also, many posts seem to say that KI4 is the best out there at the moment for most people. Can I flash this on my rooted voda issued phone?? (it has not been flashed with any ROM before, its a virgin phone apart from rooting. Current kernel is BUKG2).

Thanks! :confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mde00341:
My phone is not vodafone branded, i just use a vodafone contract sim. On intratech's carrier branded firmware thread the vodafone on uses the BUKI1 modem. I managed to find the file on my pc after posting on here. I've been using it for a day now and it has got really good data speeds and call quality but has higher baterry drain compared to XXKI4.

You can flash any modem you want via zip or odin. However im curious to see how your BUKG2 modem is as i've never seen it before. Im too much of a noob to know about extracting that modem from your stock phone.

Is your phone vodafone branded?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] domyue:
yes its vodafone banded. There isnt anything on the phone hardware thats branded as voda but obviously there are 1-2 voda programs pre-installed.

So there's no modems that are incompatible with any ROMs?

In one of the opening posts, it says: "The only thing you need to pay attention to is what model your SGS2 is". What does that mean??

Also, are there instructions to flashing this anywhere? I cant see it in the first few posts. Thanks! (sorry I'm a newbie to the SG2 scene!)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 10184911:
DUKJ1 modem link does not seem to work for me too, since Multiupload are down. Can someone please help by re-uploading?

Thanks in advance :D:D:D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CamoGeko:
1. No, 9100 and 9100 modems are compatible across both models. However, 9100 model and US versions are not cross compatible since the devices are designed to work on different bands.

2. I will add a flashing guide to post number 5 soon, hence why it says "Work in progress.....". I suggest for you to do some reading before you end up flashing stuff on your device. Plenty of guides can be found by asking Mr. Google to do a search for you. Bottom line is, for CWM packaged modems you need to be rooted and have a working CWM recovery. For .TAR packages, all you need to do is flash it while your device is in Download Mode and connected to ODIN. The .TAR file should be selected in the PHONE field. Don't touch anything else.

3. I will re-add the modem files as I find them. They were not backed up anywhere since I didn't expect multiupload to go down. If you happen to have links to any modems then please PM me and I will add them to according post on page 1.

I am having no luck on both KI3 and KI4 on ATT USA. Still have data drop issue. This issue sometimes is funny, because I can browse google web and do search, but can't open other sites. All Apps using data can't get connection. Can I try modem from ICS ROM on 2.3.5 ROM??
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CamoGeko:
Is your SGS2 the I9100 model or is it the ATT variant?

Hey guys, for those of you wanting to have the "most up-to-date" modem, I created a XXLPH CWM-flashable modem package for myself & I'm also uploading it for your pleasure :)

As I am a noob with this stuff, I used this dirty method for generating the package:

- Downloaded an "older" modem package, removed modem.bin and the sign-files inside META-INF folder

- Copied the "new" modem.bin from samfirmware's extracted XXLPH release/.tar into the .zip

- Got SignApk, and signed it

Just flashed it myself, everything went smooth, I'm curious about the signal reception :)

Here's the link (feel free to include it in the first posts if, I'd be happy if it were to happen ^^)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] wltklah:
Are you suggesting that it should be a tower issue(maybe DNS related)? My wife's HTC Aria has no problem like this at the same place when my phone's data stalled though. However, I do find that the data drop issue pretty much happen at the same place, but connection won't come back after I move out of that area. Can I flash modem from ICS rom to my 2.3.5 KI3 rom?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AJ.Rockwell:
Ok after a few days of testing the LPH modem, I found out that I have a pretty solid signal reception, perhaps even better than on KI3/KI4/KL1 modem. Cant say about battery though. For me, a keeper!!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CamoGeko:
I found the same as well, signal was definitely improved in the same areas. However my battery drain seemed somewhat accelerated.

Logged using an SGS2 type droid while floating in CM9 quadrant...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ferdimage:
Gotta agree with modem LPH, very stable signal and good phone call quality... i played around with the older modems but this seems to be slightly better signal & wifi.

I only notice battery drain from switching kernels more so than modems..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CRXed:
I agree as well, and a very stable stable data connection too! :cool:

I have a Samsung 2000mAh battery, so drain is not an issue for me, I didn't notice anything different from my previous KI4
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Codex0:
flashed lph, not sold yet, having trouble getting hspda around home now (Was using ki4) but will see how it goes tomorrow at work

I wonder if this will resolve my call echo :/

Driving me nuts, I want to keep a case on my phone but keeping it on no matter what case I use seems to make an echo for the other person calling me where they can hear themselves quite loudly through my phone
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CRXed:
I've been dealing with this myself last week. I don't use a case at all, but the larger backcover of the Samsung 2000mAh battery caused the same problem for me.

Only solution that worked for me:

1) Flash stock Samsung ROM that had the ability to disable Noise Reduction while in a call - you would have to disable it manually on every single call

2) Flash CM9, which appearantly has NR disabled (CM7 has it enabled, with no way to disable)

I went with option 2) and no more echo! :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CamoGeko:
Try to find a mod to turn off the noise cancelling mic, that should sort out the echo.

I agree with all the comments regarding LPH modem works well especially for data had a solid connection today and signal is fine as well. Seems a keeper for now.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shumo:
to all people that keep posting since installing whatever modem that their wifi signal got better

please try to understand that wifi has NOTHING to do with the modem .

and now on topic , for those who used LPH and LPB as well . which ones did you guys find best ? any problems with either of them ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bclark:
Accidentally quoted myself.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
LPH for me, no problems at all on my side. Still think KL1 is a better all round performer along with KI4 but sticking to LPH for a few more days to test.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
whats a recommended modem for use on AT&T 850/1900? yes I'm using the international i9100...

and just so i'm clear if the radio/modem doesn't affect wifi, then what does? kernel?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CamoGeko:
Yeah, just like it says in the explanatory post on page 1. Kernel handles WiFi and switching between Mobile Network and WiFi. Modem itself handles switching between GPRS/3G/HSDPA/.

I've been using ki1 and as of recently lph. Lph is getting a better signal quality then ki1 according to my signal meter :what:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
thanks. will try. also did you have to do the *#*#INFO#*#* and select USA band? I was noticing HORRENDOUS data speeds all today before I did it... like under 500kbps. Meanwhile my Nexus S did 3mbit fine. After I selected band on my SGS2, I was getting 5mbps down.

Is LPH usable in Gingerbread?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] obionenairobi:
@Shumo:

I used them both but think LPH is using more battery

LPH is slightly better in signal so I guess this is the trade-off

can anyone tell me what modem is the best for H3g in Italy over NEKI2 ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dskies:
...

NEKI2 for h3g is the best in Italy 'cause is modded to respect signal strenght and battery consumption on the reception capability.

The only solution, where you have continuos switching of carrier and you jump from roaming/EDGE/HSDPA, is to turn completly off Data,Sync and Background Data
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zakitesb:
Hi all. I'm using WestCrip's ressurection ROM- I have tried different modem versions till now: XXLP1, XXLPB, KI1. With all of them I'm encountering the following issue: upload on 3G is not working for me. SpeedTest app is reporting 0 KB on upload and then show a network communication issue. I have tried from different location so it's not a problem with my operator. This problem causes a lot of apps to not work properly: Viber, E-mail, WhatsAPP etc. Any idea what the problem might be and how can I fix it? It seems that I an the only one that encounters this problem, so it's not caused by the ROM.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
my personal experiences these past 3 days driving around SF (one of the worst places for AT&T in the US) taking some friends around to all the touristy spots:

- LPH and KL1 were dropping data left and right. I had to use airplane mode toggle or reboot to get data back. Not sure why, but this NEVER happened on my Nexus S so I know its a phone issue.

- I flashed KI4 and it looked ok, but Sunday I was driving around fewer spots, so I can't comment as much.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mstolpner:
I have similar experience with KLH and KH4 in Seattle area. Setting area to US as suggested above made it worse.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mstolpner:
Oops, I meant LPH.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
have you found any good working radios then?

setting band to USA made my download speeds go up.

Yesterday I was at an AT&T booth and asked the guy to show me the skyrocket. He got 27mbps on 4G LTE and I got 5.7mbps on my SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mstolpner:
KH4 works ok for me with the band set to auto. I am usually getting between 1Mb and 2Mb. I am on the regular unlimited Internet plan so I think its not a bad speed. It's definitely fine for my needs.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZACQ8:
I also checked, when I got signal problems (that was actually SP's problem), changed to variouse modems, but I had to go back to my KI4, which was stock, gives me good 3g speed also decent battery life, till I tested KE7.

All SGS2 (firmware JPKJ2) coming here in middle east is shipped with KI4 still.

later I checked at a place where I get strongest 3g signal normally, with KI4 & KE7

result of speedtest on my dataline is as below :

KI4: (image attached is earlier one of the same modem - 3969 - 394)

Download : 4307 kbps

upload : 386 kbps

KE7:

Download : 6230 kbps

Upload : 381 kbps

So KE7 is better than KI4 for DATA

Battery life of KI4 is already tested and trustworthy, but KE7 I have to see here, I hope both are same.

thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dodgypast:
I see DCKL1 being recommended for True in Thailand but didn't see anything for AIS other than that it was 900MHz rather than 850MHz.

Any recommendations?

XXKI4 and XXKL1 are the only ones I've used a fair bit.

KL1 has seemed to be a bit more stable overall, though while KI4 seemed to waste a lot of time switching between 3G and HSPA rather than actually pulling data it did seem more likely to work with poor coverage.

This page seems to indicate someone thinks that DXKL1 is best for AIS anyway.

I'll flash that and give it a go.

Edit after 24 hours:

Definitely the best modem so far. While it sometimes drops down to EDGE I now have constant data access on my commute to work.
