[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
No problem, I'm using a generic EU (XX) KH3 modem in Thailand right now as works best for my carrier here. I have used it in Oz last month, but can't really compare the two until I return next week.

So easy when you have the flashable CWM Modem ready, only seconds ;)

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

Honestly, can't quite remember. Flashing a kernel will prevent Carrier OTA updates, but modem.......... :confused:

I don't really bother, as I'm rooted and use the latest custom firmware, but ensure I flash a modem to match the carrier. Custom ROMs are nearly always way ahead of any official firmware provided by your carrier.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdokicfan:
Does flashing the Kernel only prevent OTA? so if i updated via kies would that work even if i had a custom kernel?

Im wondering if just changing back to original modem before updating would work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Flashing a custom kernel will generally prevent OTA updates.

Also, most firmware flashed (custom or official) will have a modem included in the zip or package. This may be better or worse signal/speed/battery life etc. You can always flash the modem seperately with Odin or some through a custom recovery called CWM Recovery (ClockWorkMod).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
No problem at all :)

It's a lot of new terminolgy to take in when you first start out, even when changing different makes of phone (HTC -> Samsung etc).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nk7:
So which network do you attach to when you come back over to AU? Just want to know how that modem goes for you if by chance you use Telstra here??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
I currently use the XXKH3 modem because it matches closest to the recommended modem with my carrier True-H (850mHz) here in Thailand (excellent speed and signal H+ etc).

Also, I have used this current combo of CheckROM RevoHD™ V3.1.1, SiyahKernel v2.2 (Governor: smartassV2 100-1200mHz) and XXKH3 modem in Oz with Telstra (Next G H+) with good signal, speed and battery life too. :cool:

Being so, I still plan to give it a good comparison test next week between the two modems XXKH3 and Telstra DVKF2. In theory, the DVKF2 should be better.........

Easy enough to do and only takes seconds to switch between the two when they are CWM flashable :)

All links in my signature ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nk7:
yeh cheers again for the modem in previous post. If you could, try the KI3 for added comparison - that's what I'm using for the last 2 days. Haven't made many calls but data speed seems still as quick. Just tonight started comparing to original DVKF2. Will look at KH3 next again.

Btw with Batista70 and siyah 2.2i.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
As I won't be in Oz til next week, and if you find the time during your testing, would really appreciate it if you could please post your results for each modem, including;

Signal strength: dBm & asu

Network type: ie. H+

Ping:

Download speed:

Upload speed:

Comments: Battery life, performance, clarity of calls, or issues such as switching and dropouts.

Edit: Will also try the KI3 for comparison as well. Cheers :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nk7:
Will do my best - might take a short while though. I can answer one thing though and that is that up here in Nth QLD for all 3 modems KI3, KH3, and DVKF2 I have had H+ connection although I haven't done any ping tests etc. Have you ever used this for signal tracking - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hotrod.utility.rfsignaltrackereclair&hl=en

Did some tests previously but did not get CSV results like above. Only screenshot. They yielded some really nice results. Telstra stock modem DVKF2 had highest download speed just shy of 10000 kbps. No other modem could reach that on that day.

So from that I am sticking with Telstra stock DVKF2 for the moment. (Btw did not do signal strength proper reporting but got values like

-81 dBm 16 asu,

-83 dBm 14 asu

and -87 dBm 13 asu)

The following are subjective and as such I did not want to comment on them – too many variables:

Battery performance – depends on carrier and modem choice and how efficiently the modem and network communicate. IMO impact on battery life will be negligible. I would look to kernels (such as Siyah) and/or better roms for battery life.

Call quality and such: This also depends on your carrier, the “callee’s” carrier, distance from network etc (i.e. your location). Won’t comment too much here - would take too long to figure out exactly which is best and source out which variables are affecting what and to what extent.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
THANKS - Modem Testing Results

Really appreciate you taking the time to test. Thanks a lot !!

I will flash the stock modem DVKF2 before I leave for Oz. Seems performance and signal strength is way ahead of the rest. Maybe because of the supposed higher SAR value........

Cheers again.

Hate to sound like a fool, but how I do I flash a new modem? I haven't rooted yet as I'm waiting for my USB jig to arrive (I've heard I may need it). I have an i9100 running on Telstra, so would the DVKF2 modem be best?

I'm rarely seeing over 4 megabit, hopefully I can get it higher.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
You need to root first. Have a read of the forum stickies for that, zergrush method or Chainfire's CF-root kernel.

For a noob, The easiest way is to google the answer ;)

Very first one I've I found.....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1244944

The KF2 modem might be best, but best to test yourself.

But first try a different APN, Telstra.wap or telstra.iph

I just haven't had the time due to work and travel to test properly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nk7:
@p3anut

For root this guy helped me out to root my phone (and keep it as stock as possible):

http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/04/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s2-with-cf-root-video/

Of course you can flash stock firmware again or better yet, use this as a stepping stone to then flash one of the great roms found here on xda (now that you have root/CWM for flashing things). Not sure how warranty comes into play though.

CWM is recovery mode to flash modems, kernels, or roms or even apps if in the right format (.zip files with correct scripts).

FOR MODEMS:

Yep DVKF2 is good. Try also KH3 and XXKI3 modems for telstra. Also, with APN Telstra.internet and telstra.wap is same as each other - only difference is that telstra.wap allows you to check your account m.bigpond.com (I am on plan btw - not sure if it still works with pre-paid).

And now that you have CWM you can have all three modems in your sd card to flash anytime you want (I do but found to have stuck to DVKF2 for now). All you do is reboot into recovery (through CWM app or press Volume up, Power and Home button at same time) and install modem zip file (scroll down and select install zip from sdcard --> choose zip then install). Only takes a minute and very simple.

Mate lot of friendly people on this forum like UpintheAir and I'm sure you'll find others soon enough. So ask away and I'm sure someone will help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3anut:
Thanks guys :D

Amusingly, before I even tried rooting it I starting seeing 10mb down, guess Toowoomba is just a bit flaky. Still, rooted now, time for different roms and fiddling with different modems!

Anyone else use Oxygen? I was running Cyanogen on my desire but I've heard it's not as good on the SGS2, as well as it suffering from the Android OS bug.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
You don't need to be rooted to flash a modem file. You can flash with Odin - modem in the phone section. Also, flashing a modem doesn't change the counter or give a yellow triangle. Only flashing custom files does that.

I'm now running Siyah kernel on the stock rom, getting just under 6000 in Quadrant and losing around 1-2% battery an hour idling. Working pretty well. I'm on the KL1 radio, seems to be giving the best results, the DVKF2 didn't work well at all for me. :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nk7:
Cheers might give that a try. Seems to be latest modem as well. Nice
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nk7:
Ok Just some more info - never thought about trying the telstra.iph APN but tried tonight. And switched back and forth between telstra.iph and telstra.wap. Some of speedtest.net results were (with the DVKF2 modem):

Telstra.IPH - 6737 down, 2708 up, 129ms ping 9.40pm

Telstra.wap - 3883 down, 1303 up, 206ms ping 9.41pm

Telstra.IPH - 7721 down, 1027 up, 190ms ping 9.42pm

I know a minute between tests can prove large differences in download speeds due to telstra bandwidth etc but for now sticking with telstra.iph as I can still look up my account on "m.bigpond.com". Food for thought. No idea why though.

Note ".iph" was specifically for iphone when it came out but we android lovers can still use this.

Will try and test the new XXKL1 modem for a few days.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Just tried the kl1 modem. Signal strength dBm and asu were much much worse. Didn't try dl ul tests though. Will be sticking with the Telstra dvkf2 until able to test more accurately. APN telstra.iph seems best for me with limited testing.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Scrub that. That modem you're asking for makes no sense. SGS2 modems usually correspond with the baseband, I.E KI1, KJ1, etc, tho obviously you can use a modem that doesn't match your baseband. I'm just trying to illustrate what kind of modem you should be asking for.

So you might want to rephrase what you're asking here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Your better off using the modem from the post before yours. It's at least for the T version. From experience, T phones on optus without T modems run crap.

And yes, as MB said that doesn't look like a modem version number you have quoted.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17494128&postcount=53
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
ADB and fastboot are part of the android SDK... And you'll need Java as a pre-req...

I'm not sure where there is an exact guide or complete step by step... but I was able to figure it out by just grabbing the required apps and installing them, so hopefully this will get you started...

For Java, visit -> http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and use the link for Java SE to download the appropriate installer for your computer (I downloaded/used jdk-7-windows-x64.exe on my 64bit Win7 Ultimate rig). Stepping through the installer is pretty self explanatory.

For the Android SDK, the Windows installer EXE is located at -> http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and I got/used the installer_r12-windows.exe. Again, Stepping through the installer is pretty self explanatory. I usually change the install path to C:\AndroidSDK. And after the install is complete you'll want it to install/update all android packages (which brings down ADB, fastboot, usb drivers, etc..). Its been a while since I did it, so I don't remember all the screens and stuff.

After the Android SDK is installed you'll want to add its "TOOLS" and "Platform-Tools" folders to the Windows path... (so you can execute ADB and Fastboot commands from anywhere.)

In Windows 7, right click on Computer, from the pop-up select Properties. In the window that opens, along the upper left, click on Advanced System Settings. Next click the Environment Variables button. In the lower section (System Variables), scoll and find PATH. Highlight it and click the Edit button. At the end of the line (use the right arrow to get there), add the location of your Tools and Patform-Tools folders, separated by semi-colon..

Example: If you told the Android SDK to install at c:\androidSDK... then add this to the end of your path...

;C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools;C:\AndroidSDK\tools;

My path variable on my laptop now looks like.... %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\syswow64;C:\Program Files\Intel\WiFi\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\WirelessCommon\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\Access Connections\;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools;C:\AndroidSDK\tools;
