Agree... that "classic" KH3 modem is tested and proven time and again. I only had this BVLP7 last night so it's too early to conclude things yet.
[Galaxy S II General] new2androids:
Thanks guys for the reply. I've only flashed once, and it was a stock ROM. I'll check the links you posted and your recommendations.

I think my priorities are battery life and stability. Speed comes in close, but I don't care much about customization (maybe for now).

Gonna root my s2 and then flash PA but i was wondering if i need an external sd card coz its says the zip needs to be put on externalsd and i dont have one yet. is it ok if i just put the zip on internal? Can i still flash it?
[Galaxy S II General] haramizuki:
Yes you can put it in internal sd. I download it directly on my phone, so it's automatically placed in internal sd and I flash it from there :) don't forget to dl gapps and flash it after the rom. If you want inverted gapps, you can search for justinbean gapps on xda ;) have fun on pa2.1

[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
it's working pretty good so far... had that h+ going but not sure if it's because of the modem or the ROM. i also get pretty good signals on wifi and data, and the signal doesn't drop (so far). when i'm on data, it's not as warm than it would on any of my tested modems (dxlp7, dxlp9, xxlps and xxlpx). this is the best since the kh3 modem. :good:
[Galaxy S II General] new2androids:
Hi guys, quick question: is it possible to flash only a different modem? I was thinking that perhaps my current one is not compatible with my actual regional location (Philippines).

Here are my updated SGS2 details for your info:

PDA: XWLPI

PHONE: XXLPX

CSC: DBTLP6

Try LQ6 modem. :)
[Galaxy S II General] new2androids:
Just to update you guys... well, unfortunately not with good news.

So, I flashed a stock rom that I initially intended to upgrade to ICS before I got the auto-update (OTA) last week. It did not solve anything, if not, maybe made things worse. So, I wiped data and cache; then, I flashed the modem I downloaded earlier, which I believe is more suitable for the Philippine region as well as a recommended modem - DXLP9. It didn't work either. So my phone still doesn't read my SIM card.

I'll try the custom-rom+kernel-way next time. I read in other threads that some people also experienced this problem, and it seems the common advice is to install a custom rom.

Anyway, thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Pentyum Poor:
Question?

Just anybody here who's using the latest custom rom Resurrection Remix JB 3.0.6? If yes, did you experience the same issue on the lockscreen animation which is the old tv screen effects? sometimes its working and sometimes not. I've tried to search on the official thread of Resurrection Remix regarding this issue. The only solution I found is that on CRT Animation tweaks but didn't solve this issue. Hope you guys have the solution for this. Many thanks :laugh:
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
The only solution for this is to go back to the stable version (version 2.6.1). That animation thing has a bug in every version 3 release of RR. Until the source code of Jelly Bean for S2 comes out, that and many other bugs will remain unresolved.
[Galaxy S II General] Pentyum Poor:
Thanks for a quick answer sir :good: That was also the comments of other users on their official Resurrection Remix thread that since the JB v3.0.X was released, it was the common issue they've notice. Anyway, It doesn't bother me too much. The only thing I really like this version was a lot of big improvements on battery life and heat temp of my SGS2 and of course smoothness and fast response :D Hope on their next update it will be solve... soon.... :laugh:

A big fan of RESURRECTION REMIX here :laugh:

Has anyone tried CyanogenMod 10 Jelly Bean? I tried it, on Globe in Cagayan de Oro, but the connection on it is extremely unstable so I had to restore the nandroid backup I made before installing it....

Try changing your modem brother :)
[Galaxy S II General] Hilari0:
I used the same modem as I used in ICS, which works very well but a different RIL.. LPS-modem and LPX/LP4 RIL works well in ICS, in CM10 JB I'm not sure what RIL it was using, but same modem at least..

Any suggestion on what modem and RIL that works well in CM10 for Globe? I'll try again this weekend I think..
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
I stuck with the BVLP7 for about 5 days now... sadly I've experienxed battery drain per better batt stats as RILJ shot up. I'm switching back to XXLPW as I got better battery results there.. though I have yet to check if H+ will disappear with this change.
[Galaxy S II General] galangdj:
Wakelocks are common on CM10. Mine is having this RILJ and AudioOut. Some are experiencing MediaScanner as well.

There have been a lot of solution that you can find on the original thread here in XDA. I am using the LQ5 modem and matched the RIL using Getril on playstore. Also installed Siyah kernel and I am happy with my phone now. :)
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
Sorry mate, that app disabled by H+ capabilities in the past so I'm avoiding it from now on as well as the modems it suggested when I had it.

[Galaxy S II General] Igtenoz:
This happened to me more than once. Usually when the battery gets totally depleted, the device won't turn on and it'll take a couple of minutes of being plugged into a charger for the battery charging screen to show up.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Plug it in and let it charge for 10 to 15 mins if you depleted the battery totally to 0 before this happened. If not, go to Samsung service immediately.

This happened to me before too but it was nothing serious. Don't keep it plugged for too long as well it might make it worse.
[Galaxy S II General] saywhatt:
there are a lot of options to get this fixed.. here are some i came up with:

1. get a toothbrush and clean your USB port on your s2 *try to charge if it works

2. try another charger/cable

3. you can get an external charger

i hope this helps ;) cheers!

Guys, do you know a trick to bypass the globe 800mb limit per day? I thought It was a true unlimited Internet but I guess globe has tricked its subscribers.
[Galaxy S II General] Igtenoz:
What plan are you on sir? I haven't experienced any caps in Globe's data plan..
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
I am using supersurf200. :(
[Galaxy S II General] SmashDrill:
They didn't trick us bro..sorta business strategies..nkalagay nmn sa msg to check limitations ng subscriptions ( NASA link within ng msg)
[Galaxy S II General] Igtenoz:
I see, I'm using supersuf plan 999 and I haven't had any issues with data cap. Maybe like what SmashDrill said, it was in the fine print of your subscription.
[Galaxy S II General] SmashDrill:
Probably u are in the "premium" subscription, that's why its truly unlimited data connection..
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
Did a little research and here's what I initially found out about that data cap on Globe:

1. Prepaid subscribers are ALWAYS subject to the 800MB data cap, whether you're in a data promo or otherwise. :thumbdown:

2. Conversely, postpaid subscribers enjoy UNLIMITED data but their data subscriptions (e.g. Supersurf, Powersurf, etc.) are charged ON TOP of your monthly bill. The only thing that your consumable can cover is the P5/15 min. thingy.

3. Another exception to #2 are the Supersurf Plans where unlimited data is already included in what you pay for monthly, but you have less/no freebies depending on the plan vs. the regular consumable plans. By the way, these Supersurf plans start at P999/month.

Hope this helps :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
disappointing. once you used up 800MB and still has remaining time, you can get another 800MB cap next day.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
I just recently changed to the 1799 plan of globe. It includes super surf. So this plan has no data cap?
[Galaxy S II General] SmashDrill:
Lol use PC then in downloading giant files:what:

Here is my experience in Cebu.

Sun = cheap but has no h+ (slow net)

Smart = mid range price compared to sun and has h+ (fast but mostly slow. It has been three days that smart Internet has been going crazy. When I watch YouTube or download anything from play store it reaches to 3mbps for 2 secs then it drops to 0 for 10secs or so then rise up to 3mbps again for a second then drop to zero again, maybe there's something wrong with their network.)

Globe = same price as smart and has h+ now (fast Internet from morning to night eventhough I have weak coverage but has an 800mb cap per day).

[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
Per SamFirmware, the most recent stock update was the initial ICS release (4.0.3). Nothing followed afterwards... although I've read rumors that there's an OTA update to remove certain features being disputed by Apple... err I think that's for the S3 though :D
