Reception seems better, but drains too much battery on 3G / H. Its ok on wifi

I'll flash KI4 again...
[Galaxy S II General] Coedy:
Im finding my battery far far better on this one than KI4. Will be sticking with it.
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
It increased my 3g and signal by about 2.5*. I just hope it doesn't drain my battery...
[Galaxy S II General] walie:
I got too many random reboots with KL1, back to KI3 for me.
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
Sounds like your EFS folder is corrupted. Do you have a backup?
[Galaxy S II General] aqualeris:
I get a somewhat similar problem with KI4 modem currently. If I reboot my phone sometimes my phone will display No Service and I will have to play around with airplane mode and rebooting a few more times before service comes back. Does this mean my EFS is corrupted? Was deciding if it was EFS related or modem related and wanted to give KH3 (reported to be good for my operator) or KL1 another try but then I realised KI4 worked pretty much fine for me in the past until recently. So it's likely my EFS is corrupted? Is it possible for EFS to be corrupted but I can still get service most of the time? The disconnections occur randomly and only once in every 3-4 reboots I do.

Is there a guide anyway on how to restore my EFS from backups? I have the efsbackup.tar.gz and a efsdev-random letters and numbers.img.gz files.
[Galaxy S II General] Braidonh:
Intermittent signal loss. Refuses to return until I put phone in airplane mode and back again. Hspa speeds are much faster, but hspa coverage area seems much smaller; where I used to get hspa data signal, no signal exists. Battery drain is minuscule however... hm. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] the4finger:
Went from 3mbps on kh3 and ki4 to 5mbps on kl1.

Also alot less ping
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Obviously it doesn't work well for you, nothing you can do about it except changing your modem. Try XXKI3 and KH3.

[Galaxy S II General] rj3005:
KI3 wifi/3G 8.0Mbs (ping 70ms)/4.0Mbs (ping 157ms)

KL1 wifi/3G 8.6Mbs (ping 64ms)/7.2Mbs (ping 83ms)

so wifi doesn´t seem to heva changed much (same results with margin of error) but 3G is much better both ping as throughput

Sticking with KL1 for now
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
just switched to this modem. Just wanted to know what the best way to check Gps lock speed. Also what settings should I use. Should I keep wireless networks on or off. Also should I turn mobile data on or keep it off. Should turn off wifi? Hope. Someone can help me.

[Galaxy S II General] tylerdurden83:
Exactly the same airplane mode issue here, did you resolve it mate?
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
it affects ONLY 3G not wifi :) gosh ppl r soo lazy to read... :p
[Galaxy S II General] ricey1986:
Okay maybe im being really thick or maybe its my network but i cant get speeds faster than 1.2mbps on speedtest with H (which is quicker than 3g right?). Doesnt matter which modem i use. Also on wifi i get 15mbps on wifi on a 30mbps connection how do i unlock the extra 15mbps? As i know my home network is fine. Cheers for any help
[Galaxy S II General] -Nane-:
is it true that this firmware is bugged?

I have read it by other posts.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] odevans:
I had some issues, but they seem to have amended themselves.
[Galaxy S II General] Braidonh:
Went back to XXKI4... speed suffers but coverage goes back to normal. It seems like the modem crashes and only airplane mode or a reboot resets it. Interesting.
[Galaxy S II General] gigamatze:
Hi all... first post here :rolleyes: ,

located in Ireland using Meteor network it's not working so well.

With KL1 I have the same speed as before with KI1 on 3g (H+) around 1.5mb down :(.

But it's behaving weird. It connects and starts downloading for about 3 seconds, followed by a pause (wents from H+ to 3G) with no data flow (~3sec.), then back to normal (H+) and so on. I don't get a constant dataflow anymore.

I went back to KI1 and these problems are gone.

Reading through this thread I get the feeling, that this modem might only be better for our North American friends ;)

Greets,
[Galaxy S II General] tylerdurden83:
Id rather not reflash the entire KI4 fw, do you think that I could simply go back to KI3 modem (I only flashed KL1 modem on top of KI4 fw, which previously had KI3)?
[Galaxy S II General] Braidonh:
Yeah thats what I meant. Don't bother with the full FW. just roll back to whatever modem worked for you previously. I'm taking geko95gek's advice and testing XXKH3 modem
[Galaxy S II General] tylerdurden83:
Weird, in his sig I see that he has an even older fw (KI3) yet using KL1 modem...
[Galaxy S II General] Braidonh:
AFAIK, modems are compatible across all the Gingerbread FW variants. (ie KL1 is compatible with KI3, KG2, KK5...) as long as RIL structure is the same, as it is in Gingerbread, modems are universally compatible.
[Galaxy S II General] pasquy85:
I agree,it SEEMS (to soon to tell?) good also here in Italy with Wind operator
[Galaxy S II General] tylerdurden83:
Not that I don't belive what you are saying, as it makes perfect sense to me too, but just out of curiosity, why do you think that for some users the KL1 modem is causing the phone to randomly enter flight mode, while it isn't for others?
[Galaxy S II General] Braidonh:
I dont know either.. something hardware related, i suspect. Else the modem doesn't agree with the network, and the modem crashes.
[Galaxy S II General] dan1431:
I am now having issues with the modem since landing in So Eastern Florida (which runs UMTS on 850Mha and 1900Mhz), not sure what is up other than my speculation that this modem seems to like staying on one frequency and not switching between two frequencies...maybe a handoff issue?

Dan
[Galaxy S II General] wmfreak:
Wow are you kidding me? At the end of my second day of use I still have 52% battery. I've driven in some bad signal areas yesterday and I was able to speak and hear very clear.

For me is the best by a mile and I've tried most of them and untill now I've stayed with KH3 because of voice clarity and signal. But then this came along and is a keeper!

[Galaxy S II General] dan1431:
To Be Honest, I have no idea if the modem started borking out or at&t Mobility was having trouble or there was something else at play.

I had one other thought and that was the fact I was running an older ROM and maybe that older ROM started to cause issues with KL1 modem.

Dan
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
I'm running a KI3 rom with KL1 modem and all is fine here.

[Galaxy S II General] so_ony:
great i will update my modem :)

thx for informing me :)
[Galaxy S II General] nursespecialist:
Been using KL1 days now. Its good but now im randomly getting problems with it. im having intermittent connections from H+ to 3g though in my area and using KI4 before - its maintained at H+. At the same time, my signal randomly drops and when i reboot the phone - its back again.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Radios are regional specific. What might be good in the UK might be awful in China. Good thing is we have over a dozen different radios to chose from. Really comes down to trial and error and what works best in your area.
[Galaxy S II General] dan1431:
What is strange is the radio worked perfectly fine for approximately 2 days and only started to do weird stuff like going from signal to no signal in a matter of seconds and once suddenly rebooting all by itself.

Dan
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Makes me think it might be incompatible with some roms. Running it on KI3 deodexed without any issues for over 3 days now.

[Galaxy S II General] Braidonh:
I'm thinking so too.. anyone with CM7 having any weird issues like an apparent modem crash (service to no service solved only by a reboot?) Interested to see if there's a difference between TW roms and AOSP roms.
[Galaxy S II General] chargen2:
Had much higher battery usage with this modem and went back to ki4.
[Galaxy S II General] Silent8Strike:
I did 5 tests of each modem from the same location on the same server. I had full bars for both tests.

KI4

4.25

3.72

4.22

3.71

3.28

Average:3.83

KL1

4.51

3.86

3.25

3.70

4.87

Average: 4.03

So I find that it makes no real difference whatsoever for me, except that I had an issue with data connecting on KL1 that was solved by a reboot. This is on Rogers, they use the 850 MHz band as well.
[Galaxy S II General] buxz777:
this new modem seems quite good on giffgaff uk

speeds defo seem faster then ki4 and battery does seem to last a bit longer from a few days useage with this modem

i did go back to ki4 but i noticed the speed difference straight away and the battery drained quicker too

ill stay with kl1 for the time being i think
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
I got massive instability on the radio with KL1... So I reverted to KI4. I'm on Fido network (850 mhz band) with Hyperdroid v4... Still trying to figure out which modem is most stable here.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
I've tested on Meteor Ireland and Giff Gaff in UK and for me KL1 is better.
[Galaxy S II General] marber45:
I've been using KL1 for a few days now without any troubles. Im on 3 Sweden @ 2100Mhz
[Galaxy S II General] SirCanealot:
I'm sitting in my bathroom on kl4 getting decent wifi reception and I've never got that before!

However, the modem seems to be acting weird. Randomly websites won't load over 3g and stuff like that. I have a refresh them or reload the program. Reception seems better too: I don't usually get 3g on my bedroom but I'm getting it on kl4.

I'll keep an eye on it for a few days and see how it goes...
[Galaxy S II General] phunkycow:
It definitely is ROM dependent. Using a KK5 ROM I had 0 issues, but the moment I flashed MIUI I couldn't get a signal no matter what.

Sent from my GT-OVER9000 (9100 to be precise)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yeah, seems logical.

Did you try reflashing the modem after installing MIUI?

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium neurotransmitter while DJ'ing on The Enterprise. :D
[Galaxy S II General] phunkycow:
Yeah, tried all combinations I could think of at the time - no go! Oh well, I'm quite happy with KI3 anyway. :-)

[Galaxy S II General] dan1431:
I reflashed the KL1 Modem (after upgrading to KK5) and checked the Debug menu and I went from (on KI3) approx. -96/-101 to (on KL1) -86/-95.

Clearly this modem seems to actually improve the overall reception on the device, but if history is any predictor I am going to experience with the modem again.

Dan
[Galaxy S II General] woodyxxl:
You really mixed both to kl4? KI4+KL1=kl4

wow:eek:
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hmm... that is weird.

Anyways KI3 is one of the best modems, I agree. Might as well just stick with it till something new comes along.

Luckily for me KL1 is giving me very similar performance if not slightly better comparing to KI3.

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium neurotransmitter while DJ'ing on The Enterprise. :D
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
After using KL1 for a couple of days the one improvement I've noticed is that it holds wifi signal better than KI3 did (at least for me it does).
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Unlikely to be the modem mate. Drivers for WiFi are integrated into whatever kernel you're using. Even the changeover between WiFi and mobile network is handled by the kernel.

[Galaxy S II General] GDF01:
KL1 modem is good but the best combo for me is KK5 with KI1 modem on bell. Great reception / data speeds and best battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Good point, however, I've been using Siyah 2.4.2 kernel with KI3 and the only change I noticed with KL1 is improved wifi especially with N routers. Probably just coincidence
[Galaxy S II General] pewpewbangbang:
battery life seems hit or miss with this modem?

Btw, to a post a whiles back showing the battery widget monitor.....how are you only losing -2ma....lowest mine ever went was like -15ma. Seems like with -2ma you have a ridiculously good standby time
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
It's the setup.

I usually get 1mA - 3mA with no apps running in the background.

I'm on go launcher as well, it shouldn't be that. Try customizing even further, kernel change maybe, undervolting...... as well as using betterbatterystats to check wakelocks now and again.

[Galaxy S II General] tylerdurden83:
After the instabilities that I've had with KL1 (phone would randomly go into flight mode), I tried a few modems on top of my frankenstein KI4 fw with cf rooted kernel.

I've not tested the battery drain, but as far as signal goes, I noticed something quite unexpected.

In certain portions of my house I'd get:

0 to 1 lines of signal with KL1

0 lines of signal with KI3

2 to 3 lines of signal with KH3

If you aren't happy with your current 2g/3g reception, can you test if the KH3 modem gives you a signal boost to you too?
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
Possible battery drain??

Just flashed back to KI4, haven't had any trouble with signal strenght or droped calls when on KL1, but I have noticed that with my "normal" daily usage my battery is not lasting as long as it did when running KI4.. :confused:

Not sure if it was the KL1 modem, but I'm going to see what happens over the next few days now that I'm back on KI4..

Cheers..
[Galaxy S II General] wmfreak:
back to KH3

KL1 is great for battery and decent overall but when switching to 3g you get the no service bug with Miui rom. Back to KH3 and everything is back to normal. I guess KH3 is the winner after all.

[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
Almost one week now on KL1 (from KI3) and not a single problem very good and stable signal on "3 UK" :)
[Galaxy S II General] knightnz:
I'm still running KI3. The KK series were hopeless. Hopefully the bloke that did the massive radio comparison will be able to update it with some of the newer ones.
[Galaxy S II General] Prankey:
KI3? It gives me NO SIGNAL at most part of my house, not even 2G! Seems its missing 900MHz band completely and stays with 1800MHz which we all know gives bad connectivity indoors!

Haha, any modem is better than KI3 with no signal bug!!!
[Galaxy S II General] cc999:
Yea Prankey try KH3!

Best modem period..........

CC
[Galaxy S II General] tylerdurden83:
Wow after my post it seems that all praise kh3 too now. Anyway here is more data:

2 standard I9100, bought the same day (last week of may), both using H3G Italy as carrier, one on frankenstein KI4 + cfroot kernel + KH3 modem, the other with frankenstein KI3 + unrooted kernel + KI3 modem.

We went to test the signal side by side in many places, and I can guarantee to you that where his KI3 would have no lines of signal, I'd get at least 2, and where he'd get 1 unstable line, I'd get 3 stable ones.

I'm unsure at which frequency H3G Italy transmits, but KH3 owns all later modems for their frequency.

[Galaxy S II General] dan1431:
I wonder what does Samsung change from modem to modem?

Some modems seem to use more juice some seem to use less, some seem to get better signal, some seem to get less.

In my testing, KL1 seems to get better signal (-89 to -97) when compared with previous modems. Of most interest (at least) to me is that KL1 allows my GT-I9100 to connect to a much stronger 850Mhz channel that prior modems never allowed my phone find nor connect to.

Dan
[Galaxy S II General] pancomido:
How do you guys know which channel are you on? I'm still not sure what this channel thing is about. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
It's the band/frequency on which your network operates.

[Galaxy S II General] Prankey:
I switched to KL1 from KP1 (KP1 is okay but gives unstable connection at times). Did you compare between KL1 and KH3?
[Galaxy S II General] Manitax:
This modem is really good. Before i was on ki4 and had 2-3 bars on signal. Now im on kL1 and full strength with 4 bars! I love it ;-)

Btw im from Germany with O2.
[Galaxy S II General] amanor:
Using O2 Germany as well, I had strong differences when I tested and compared the new modem to KI4. But since I used KI4 for a while now, I´ll just give it a shot and compare the two modems in daily use and if it feels faster or not...

Still, the new modem was not slow at all ;)

Yes KL1 was excellent but then I started to get random disconnects that I could not tolerate since I am in sales. Switched to the KH3 signal strength was rock solid and my transfer speeds are unbelievable (like KL1)!

On USA AT&T with unlocked SGS2. for the record

Charlie C
[Galaxy S II General] ActCatTrek:
KL1 is really GREAT! At uni., my phone would get about 0-2 bar of signal but today I had at least 2 bar! And, when I had a class that received low Wi-Fi signal, mine was well connected when others were struggling. :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] scorpion667:
Glad it works for ya, however Wifi is kernel related it has nothing to do with baseband
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
so im running frankenstein kk5 firmware with KI3 modem anyone using the same firmware and using this modem insted how does it compare then KI3?? im in uk ne1 gone from ki3 to kL1 modem on stockfirmware in the UK??

opinions please?
[Galaxy S II General] scorpion667:
Baseband performance depends on a few things:

-Geographical location

-Carrier

So if it works bad for me it may work good for you. Try it and let us know how you like it.

[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
I have clockworkmod recovery flashed, trinity xl v2.5 flashed (with the unity v10 by mdj kernel included).

Mine is hboot 1.16 s-on bootunlocked.

So heres the question: After flashing the rom, does this means my phone is overclocked/underclocked? (according to the mdj kernel).

There is a difference on the available ram. I've check my cpu frequecy at quadrant standard and it says max:2ghz min: 128mhz. But in antutu benchmark, it show the stock cpu frequency for incs :/
[HTC Incredible S] henrylife:
Did you try with SetCPU or No Frills, even Android Overclock should work.

Try to flash Lord's or Rcmix 11.1 kernel if issue persists.
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
Well I think this is the problem for hboot 1.16 s-on. But i'm pretty sure its overclock and underclock. When I was at my stock rom, available ram was like 200mb+

Now its 300mb+
[HTC Incredible S] henrylife:
Then you have just to wait for revolutionary, because HBoot controls such settings as overclock and underclock/undervolt etc.

OnLive's gaming app was released today for Android... you can find it on the market at

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.onlive.client

I don't have my NC with me, but I tried it out on my phone. It works at least! I didn't really get to play much but hey, it's there :)

FYI, there is a special controller that is coming later this month too (tomorrow?), although it's supposed to be $50. Hopefully it at least comes with a free game.

PS. if you sign into onlive through the app, you can get Lego Batman for free.

I got it, ill post it soon. It's running laggy on my NC but I bet its my crappy 3mb internet connection, since i keep getting a message that my connection dropped lower than the minimum

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ponyboy82:
Ok, cool. I'm interested in the new controller they have coming out. I did not find much information on if you could use other controllers, but it sounded like "no" for Android: http://onlivefans.com/showthread.php?14160-The-Controller-FAQ

I haven't been able to try it on my NC yet, but on my phone the graphics were fairly blurry but it was mostly pretty responsive (just navigating the UI and playing the first couple seconds of Lego Batman). I was on 3G because Verizon's having another 4G outage apparently, so I'll have to see how it goes on my home wifi or 4g when it comes back.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Jiggity Janx:
Anyone having issues with not finding in Market or the apk not side loading likely can go to onlive.com/hardware_mobile and click the Market link that shows there. Had to change my dpi to 160 to install but worked great after that. I had to go this route on my 2 bionics and the NC.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sjmoreno:
It runs great on CM 7.1.0.1 (Stable)

I tried playing games on my Nook Color like N.O.V.A. 2 HD and after getting my @$$ handed to me in the game because the NC wasn't fast enough to respond to my controls I tried the OnLive game service and I have to say it's pretty sweet.

I didn't notice any lag whatsoever when I played a few minutes of LEGO: Batman and I was using the on-screen touch controls the whole time since I don't have their universal game controller.

I'm not a serious gamer but my 5 year old is really getting into it. He already is monopolizing time on my other android devices playing games. Since LEGO: Batman is his favorite at the moment I've been forced to drag out the old Playstation 2 console out of the closet. Now that I've got this to work on my NC I can get rid of the PS2 finally and contain all of his gaming on the NC.
