[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
PLEASE READ EDIT BELOW ALSO.CHEERS

Im quite familiar with flashing and odin and flashing kernals and roms via cwm and have done it many times but what ive been noticing lately are people who have modems that dont match their firmware.This is something ive never taken notice of before since i just did the basics.A modem is the country based part as ive found out so heres my question.To have a kg6 with a spanish modem (spain being where i live) do i also have to download my countrys firmware open the kg6 for the csc and kernal files then open the other firmware for the modem?.It just sounds a bit risky although its meant to make the phone function better.Im a bit confused cos when 2.3.4 isnt even global yet ive seen S2 phones with aparrently local modems.Is it possible to use a 2.3.3 modem with 2.3.4 then??....

EDIT:Ive been reading on and seeing that its the baseband that appears to be from 2 firmwares.I have kg6 with a xxkg6 baseband but am seeing others with kg6 and basebands from completely different firmwares?!.So is it possible to mix a 2.3.3 baseband with 2.3.4 cos gingerbread insnt global officially global so how would there be regional basebands.Is it safe and does it improve the phone that much?.Im interested in learning more about it and giving it a try but not without first being a bit more informed.cheers

Any modem can be used with any rom.

I have used modem ranging from ke7 to kh3 on roms from kf2 to kg6.

As far as choosing a modem, try them all, and find one which works best for you, as far as I know modems are not county coded so a kg6 modem is a kg6 modem whatever the country code.

Csc is just mostly apn settings and bundles apps for the region, generally you can use any csc with any rom, but if you have problems most csc's cover most regions.

Thanks.What ive started noticing is that some people that have kg6 like me appear to have 2 firmwares.I saw one person for example that had a Galaxy SGS2-XXKG6-VR 2.4.2-Ninpho 2.0.5 EXACTLY like mine but my baseband is i9100xxkg6 and their baseband was xxkh3.how is that possible if you dont use 2 firmwares and what affect does it have over the operating system.i though this was the local side to it all like local operators and tower conections?how is it done safely?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Firmware version KG6 with Modem version KG1 or KH1 .

Modem is part of original rom package can be flashed separate versions are mostly interchangeable .Custom rom may have different modem version .

Modem file flashed via Odin as PHONE .

[General Questions and Answers] Das Faust:
I've done some digging on this very same phone because I'm trying to figure out how to side load "java" apps on the insanely greedy TouchWiz OS. You can tether the phone, but its "locked" out because StraightTalk does not want you doing this. I have not actually read up on it yet, as I'm still trying unlock, and sideload mode; but apparently its against the end user agreement to tether. Thank goodness my wife hates her T528G and we'll be getting her an Android phone as soon as possible. I came to XDA to see if there was any cool tricks I could do with the T528G myself, in all fairness to the phone, it does what its supposed to do, and is intended to be an entry level "smart phone".

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gerbetta33:
Hey guys, I wanted to know what side effects could result from wiping a phones radio, and then not flashing a new one, or flashing an incompatible one. Will the phone work as usual, but it just can't send messages and calls? Or will it get stuck in a boot cycle until it is fixed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gerbetta33:
I hate to bump, but I need this question answered.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SAPPH1RE:
Actually, how do you intend to wipe the phone radio? From what i know, the entire process of erasing and writing of radio is in 1 command line. You may write eg: fastboot flash radio radio.img, and the fastboot automatically erase the old radio and flash a new one. I think the dev create this method to prevent people from bootloops by not flashing a radio after manual erase, if there's any..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gerbetta33:
So your saying the device won't work if I wiped the radio and don't glasgow a new one?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sweetnsour:
from what ive heard, flashing an incompatible radio can brick your phone. my understanding is that when you turn on your phone, the radio is the first thing that boots. if you flash an incompatible radio, the radio cant boot, and you'll be stuck at the splash screen.
[Nexus S General] Skimp Killah:
Quick, and great battery. Overclocking is pointless unless you play games on your phone, or care about your quadrant score.
[Nexus S General] unomedmen1:
Yup, I agree with you
[Nexus S General] vennstrom:
+1

I had a Milestone for 1.5 years on stock ROM (that is 550Mhz), pretty much served most of my needs perfectly....you know, the normal stuff you use your phone for.
[Nexus S General] synaesthetic:
I rarely notice my phone is underclocked... with smartass governor, it's more responsive than stock clocks with a less responsive governor.

Battery life doesn't seem improved, but I know that my weak signal is causing the problem here.
[Nexus S General] Neo:
I Sunni it's different for me.. When in use it seems to drain about the same but last night I set the phone down around 11 worth 84% battery life and got up at 6 with 78% still and that's setting the governor to smartass
[Nexus S General] synaesthetic:
It's bad for me because my phone goes without signal about half the time in my apartment. I'll be moving soon so it's not a huge issue, but it is kind of disconcerting to feel my phone heating up from just sitting around doing nothing.
[Nexus S General] Neo:
You could try disabling the governor and let one like, setcpu do it? Before I went Incredikernel I set up a profile in setcpu that whenever my screen was off it wouldn't run any faster then 128MHz but when on was set for either on demand or performance. Using two governors at the same time causes lag I've found so you'd have to be running a rom that doesn't already have one (that you can see and change) built in
[Nexus S General] kijp15:
Yea, this is true. OC'ing I thought it was giving me speed, but I actually took the time to really see the speed on OC'ing and to me it dosent seem to change. Well maybe alittle bit, but still. But yea, so I just hit 1ghz and I just leave it there.

Pete's latest w/Yennob-Base2 kernel at 1ghz and its going good. :)
[Nexus S General] Neo:
Yeah I honestly can't tell a difference between running at 998 MHz and 1,113 MHz other than a physically hotter phone and faster battery loss lol
[Nexus S General] kijp15:
Ahaha, yea. Everytime I would hit 1.3ghz or 1.4ghz for the fun of it, my phone would get that way too. It would get hot and it feels like it would explode in my face and yea battery life would drop like crazy.

[Nexus S General] synaesthetic:
This. I'm really feeling the loss of RAM coming from a mytouch 4G. That extra 256MB really made a difference. Using juwe's RAM optimization script seems to help, though.

Ehm, how can Ram be a problem?

Android is managing it itself and can't run out of it, usually.

Things get killed that you don't want getting killed, and when it starts to run low things slow down considerably. It's not that something won't run, but it may run badly, or cause other apps to close that you were multitasking on, which is inconvenient.

How so? I normally get around 9-10 hours max with moderate use, also depending on the signal i get half the time.
[Nexus S General] Skimp Killah:
I use netarchys latest bfs kernel with proton to undervolt all CPU frequencies to -20mv. And I have the CPU limited to 100-800mhz, with the on demand governer. With those 2 thing I get 15-16 hours everyday. I also usually let my batter get down to atleast 5% before charging.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
it's true

i always Under clock the phone with SetCPU to save battery life
[Nexus S General] qzfive:
Might have to give this a try tbh... I've seen threads about people underclocking their SGS2's to 800Mhz (down from 1.2Ghz) and claiming they've noticed no (or very little) performance drop and decently increased battery life.

I usually run my NS at 1.2Ghz, but gonna run it at 800Mhz tomorrow until it dies and report back with my usage also.
[Nexus S General] Neo:
I'm currently running my cpu underclocked to a Max of 800 right now and I've successfully undervolted the Max volt on every frequency to -75 to each. Haven't had any crashes and it's been perfectly stable even during a full load running Pandora and surfing sites. Currently using the rom and settings currently in my sig.
[Nexus S General] Skimp Killah:
Damn son, -75mv is epic, -20mg seems pretty stable for me, so I haven't messed with it to much.
[Nexus S General] Skimp Killah:
Just set all voltages to -50mv, Ill report back on stability.
[Nexus S General] OldCoastie:
Some time ago I made the mistake of changing my voltages and saving them. I would like to try your changes but I have no idea what the stock voltages are. Could you please post your settings to give me a starting place.
[Nexus S General] Skimp Killah:
I'm using proton, which I guess only works with netarchy, but it has the ability to reload the stock voltages, and it has the recommended voltages of -20mv on all frequencies.
[Nexus S General] dskyers:
I work for metro PC's and they just came out with the Samsung admire its 130 bucks. Has gingerbread and 800mhz processer and it's pretty nice phone no noticeable lag and I'm kinda shocked
[Nexus S General] Klk450:
I'm guessing stock NS is clocked at 1Ghz? I never experienced any lag and get a good 10-12 hours with moderate use, while constantly listening to music.
[Nexus S General] Skimp Killah:
Stock CPU limit is 400-1000 I believe, but I could be wrong on the lower end, but I wanna say the 100mhz step for sure isn't stock. I consistently get 15-16 with the 100-800mhz and ondemand governer. And that's with a good amount of use, not just sitting in my pocket. Atleast 3-4 hours of screen on time I'm assuming.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
Yeah OC'ing is cool I suppose for benchmarks. Even on my slightly aging gaming rig I can overclock to push more FPS but hoonastly its not making me play games that I could not play before.
[Nexus S General] Neo:
Yeah! I actually had it -100 taken away on all frequencies set on boot and after letting it settle, I signed in to xda to happily post my epic undervolt while I had Pandora running and it froze mid sentence lol
[Nexus S General] Skimp Killah:
Yeah, 100 is just ridiculous, I've been running -50 all day with no problems, the nexus detinetly does undervolting way better than my epic did.
[Nexus S General] Neo:
What you could do next, is go into like, setcpu and click on the info tab and then check the percentage time of what state your cpu is usually in during all your usual since the phone has been on. You can use that to help determine which frequencies you can possibly tweak even more. I did a print screen first of my current stable volt settings so I would have a stable seeing that I could change it back to should things start to get funky.
[Nexus S General] onigiri1692:
Undervolting and underclocking has really made a difference in battery life for me. I usually run my phone at 800mhz and have seen no performance decreases outside of resource intense games, which are hardly noticeable. This what I have my UV set at for the various CPU clocks:

1200mhz: 1275mv

1000mhz: 1150mv

940mhz: 1075mv

800mhz: 1075mv

400mhz: 875mv

200mhz: 825mv

100mhz: 825mv

All stable and tested on each frequency for hours and hours to ensure stability with the Stability Test app. One question I do have as I don't know much about electrcity is, since I have both 940mhz and 800mhz undervolted to the same values will they use the same amount of power or does the cpu clock speed factor in somewhere? I've been experimenting with the 940mhz clock since mathkid included it in his latest matr1x release and so far like what I see.
[Nexus S General] Neo:
wow I have actually been wondering this exact same thing
[Nexus S General] Skimp Killah:
I've been running my undervolts at -75mv across the board, gets me maybe an extra hour or so, I go 16-17 before I need to charge.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] beergenius:
Ok guys, I know that there are posts about random reboots but it seems non have a solid solution. My Hd2 has started doing these annoying reboots for about a week. I was using Tyweens NexusHD2 2.9 and all of a sudden reboots started. So I switched to Typhoon CM7 3.5.7(currently on phone now). Reboots still occur. So I did Task 29, wiped sd card, plus clean install of Typhoon CM7 3.5.7. Phone still reboots. It actually rebooted during setup. I even changed from Magldr 150/5(suggested) to 200/45 thinking it was memory related. Still rebooting. I have noticed it does it more when WiFi is on. Is there something with the latest Android 2.3.5 and Wifi? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tmotard:
did you overclock or undervolt ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] beergenius:
No not at all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rocklobster702:
I'm having the exact same problem... but strangely now even when I try older gingerbread builds, it does the same thing. Its only been recently, too... I've had the phone for a while and I don't remember it doing this.

I can have the, same build and same gps libs on my wifes hd2, and hers won't reboot. Mine will.

I even went as far as swapping out my mainboard with another one I had from a cracked screen issue... and that didn't solve the reboots.

I can't figure it out. It must be gingerbread and certain phones. Ive tried 2.3.5, 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 and they all are now rebooting. I don't know why its only been lately, too. The, only thing that solves it for me is running Tytungs NexusHD2 ROM v1.9 Froyo based. I can even add the latest agps fix and don't have any reboots. Only thing I really miss from gingerbread is the DSP bass boost which makes a huge difference for my bluetooth audio via my car.

Remains a frustrating mystery to me.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] beergenius:
So far the only thing that works at home is to turn off 3g.

I am trying Rafdroid 4.2 and so far has not rebooted away from home.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rocklobster702:
Rafdroid is a Froyo based ROM - same with the NexusHD2 v1.9g build that I'm using and so far no problems.

But when using any gingerbread (sense or non-sense) / CM7 build, I am getting those random reboots. Sometimes so much to the point where the phone is unusable. Then there are times when I could go hours without any. I thought it was something related to 2.3.5 since that's right around the time things started going strange, but like I noted - I've downgraded to 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 - and the same thing is happening. I used to use Hyperdroid GBX 7 for months without issue... now when I load it, it gives the same result. Same with Hyperdroid GBX v12, Hyperdroid CM7, Typhoon, stock bravo based CM7 Nightlies, AmericanAndroid, NexusHD2 Gingerbread version or anything Gingerbread based - period.

It also seems coincidental that the reboots started right around the time when Tmobile issued a bulletin asking for user input about recent unusual high battery draining with mobile data. I really haven't followed up and I don't know if it was determined what was causing it for some users but I am thinking maybe it could be possibly related. I can't explain why my wife's phone can run the exact same ROM and not experience the same thing yet mine does. It seems like an isolated issue - I don't see a lot of people complaining about the same issue lately. Maybe it has something to do with a specific mainboard revision/manufacturing date and some kind of over sensitivity to mobile data power output or something. As I noted in the prior post, I did switch out the mainboard with another one that I had laying around. I did take note of the revision manufacturing date stamped on the board, and they were identical. And both experience the identical problem. My wife's HD2 was bought 3rd party from a private owner at another time separate from when the 2 HD2's I have on hand were purchased. Perhaps she has a different revision/manufacturing date.

The two mainboards that I am having a problem with have a date of 2010/03/16 - they are both identical.

I would take apart my wife's to check her date and am willing to bet it's something different, but I've had really bad luck picking apart these HD2's the few times that I've done it. I've broken wifi coaxial cables and ripped flex cables. The date is stamped on the bottom of the mainboard.

How would bad blocks be the problem if the solution is turning off 3G?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rocklobster702:
OK, I can now pretty much confirm my original hypothesis about the mainboard. I have switched it out with one that was manufactured in late 2009 according to the timestamp on the board, and that's eliminated this problem for a while now with Gingerbread entirely.

The exact problem is beyond me, but unfortunately I stick to my guns that it's a hardware issue. Not sure why it would affect Gingerbread so much more than Froyo but my guess would be it has something to so with mobile data power management or something of the sort.

So for those saying that turning 3G off counteracts this rebooting effect, try a good Froyo build to keep your 3G connectivity. The reboots didn't happen nearly as much as they did wile running Gingerbread for me (although I would get 1 or 2 every few days).

Unless you can get your hands on another mainboard... or another phone.

Replacing my HD2 entirely for now wasn't an option for me... it's the only "Android" phone that I can run with the grandfathered 5.99 Tmobile web. Any native Android phone is identified by tmobile from its IEMI and forced to upgrade to a smartphone data plan to work with mobile data. They just happen to allow legacy (less than WP7) Windows Phones work with that old data plan, which is what the HD2 is.
