No, but I forgot to ask, did you flash Wind's kernel BEFORE or AFTER flashing my ROM?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Vadimus_ca:
I was on Faux 8 kernel.

Flashed your ROM. Lines, no WiFi.

Flashed Wind kernel. WiFi, still lines

Wiped and flashed your ROM. WiFi, still lines.

Wiped and flashed OneGoodROM. Camera OK, no WiFI

Flashed Faux kernel. Camera OK, WiFi OK
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Would you mind trying the following:

nand backup

Wipe all (format system, data and cache)

Flash Wind kernel and don't wipe

Flash my ROM

Reboot.

If the above does not work, would you mind running RUU, install TWRP and then install my ROM?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Vadimus_ca:
Will try and report back tomorrow.

Hey thanks for this .... I am on wind mobile and I could not get back to stock using RUU because my HBOOT veresion was wrong ... I used the TWRP and installed your ROM and I was able to get the ICS update from wind ... I was using the stock kernal from wind. Thanks!!!!

btw why does wind use a custom kernal it kind of defeats the purpose of new OS and to use an old kernal just very curious???

Thanks,

Rd
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
They don't necessary use a "custom" kernel, they use a kernel built with their firmware, each carrier does so. T-Mobile has one, telus has one etc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
Where do I get original Wind ICS boot.img? Is it sufficient just to flash boot.img so phone can boot up, or something else is needed if coming from Custom ROM?

I have tried stock boot image which is included into hasoon2000's toolkit - bootloop, flashed via fastboot original Amaze stock boot image (T-Mobile) - same, the phone is not booting up.

Any suggestion?

Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
The wind RUU will have the img file, but the wind RUU is only for Gingerbread base, if you have updated to ICS, you HAVE TO flash the entire RUU, and then update the 2 updates to get to ICS with ICS boot.img (once you are in ICS, you can use clockworkrecovery to get, or command lines I am sure)
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
Thnx, but never mind, figured out myself. Since I was S-off running Custom ROM, had to flash the entire RUU through Bootloader due to Wind/HTC RUU writing panel error. Then rooted, then flushed everything up, finally got your build - LOL. Didn't look at the beginning this is a GB build....LOL. Outdated to me....

Reverted back to Custom ICS :fingers-crossed:

Figure I could start a signal/modem comparison thread and people could add to it if they wanted.

For my tests I used the following

Application Network Signal Info from the market (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android.telnet&hl=en)

Phone was sitting in same spot for all tests connected to same network and wifi router

Network being used was Rogers Wireless in Canada and I was located in Montreal

Rogers uses 850/1900 for 3G and 2G services. Same as Bell, Telus and ATT in North America

Phone is running latest ICS Wanam ROM based on XWLP7

Modems can be found in various places but the 2 locations I have gotten them from are

Speedtests where not performed since I was mainly testing for signal. You can add those results to your tests if you wish

For results measurements were taken every 2 min. Please note not all radios are supported by the app I mentioned and also I haven’t tested all of them so feel free to add your own results but please post he following

Location (country/city)

Provider

Frequencies they use if you know

Feel free to post your results but please do not post requesting someone test a radio for you. You can do it yourself so no need to have someone do the work for you. Post your results in here
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Hey, that's great and all but... How do your results translate? Any impressions on these particular results?

**EDIT** Post taken from a random forum for information:

The difference between -72dB and -75dB won't be noticable because they are both well above the minimum threshold of somewhere around -100dB to -105dB for GSM. If you take the 3dB difference between -99dB and -102dB then it could mean the difference between dropping the call or not. Generally, you can say, for GSM:

-105 to -100 = Bad/drop call

-99 to -90 = Getting bad/signal may break up

-89 to -80 = OK/shouldn't have problems, but maybe

-79 to -65 = Good

Over -65 = Excellent

....but keep in mind, it's not the phones reception but it's uplink transmit power that limits the range of the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
When dealing with signal measurements I would rather display the numbers and not give impressions.

Overall I have never had any issues with reception or speeds on my device but I still like knowing what I am actually getting in terms of stats from one radio to another. From the info I got seems XXLPR s worst 3G performer on rogers vs the other 2 radios having at least 6db difference. Other then that wifi difference was marginal from one to another.

We shouldn't start comparing impressions and statistical data. I would prefer this thread simply be about hard numbers.

People can have their own impressions. Obviously my results may vary from everyone else but still a thread like this could come in handy for people asking about radios. Results will vary depending on traffic, location ,router etc
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
I personally hit alot of dead-zones with Fido/Rogers around my work area, which isn't really a justifiable test for modems... And anyways, I'm sure your results would be very similar to what I can pull. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
Well if there are locations where you are on the limit of coverage doing these tests would be even more beneficial as radios will also perform differently based on reception available.

If your able to test please post what you can
[Galaxy S II General] zonehack:
it maybe be worth to also include battery drain for modems? i know this would be impractical to test out but atleast the testers could mention what they observe
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
WiFi performance has nothing directly to do with the baseband/modem...
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
For battery drain many more factors other then the radio that play a part such as display and applications so it may not be the best info to provide. Mainly want to focus on signal strength for network and wifi and maybe speeds also
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
I know the kernel plays a big part but the modem has to also have a part in the wifi

maybe im wrong
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
Nope...
[Galaxy S II General] snappy123:
Funny thing is I've tested between different modems (kj1, lpq, lpj, lps, and lpr) and got the same results for all (89db). Really is there any point to this, flash any modem and receive the same results.
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
Some of those wont work with the app you should get a pop up saying so bu LPS and LPR should give variations.

Even without moving the signal should change once in a while
[Galaxy S II General] starbucks2010:
I think that the most important thing to a modem is the voice quality. Unfortunatelly, for the voice quality we can give only impressions and not numbers for comparing modems.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
How about this people should post the carrier, country and frequencies the carrier uses and the modem they think is best and why

Seems we can't all agree on what to specify but let's at least post modem info and carrier/country info

I just figured people need a reference thread of this kind
[Galaxy S II General] Damienoid:
Can you re-run the test at another time, say between 2am and 5am, and in a different order, you might find very different results.

Due to frequent network fluctuations, your results will vary considerably depending on the current state of the network.

In order to get a real handle on the best modem, you have to many back to back tests, at different times of the day.

I have done much testing myself of modems, and as it shows in your results, there is not much discernible differences between the latest ICS modems, but it's interesting none the less.

BTW wifi has nothing to do with the modem/radio, but is related to the kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
Good to know maybe speeds can also be a focus for the modem info posted
[Galaxy S II General] mccune:
If I recall correct this is caused by Samsungs software.

You should go to Settings > About > Status to see the actual signal reading.

Bare with me on the instructions as I'm doing this by degrading memory ;)
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
Yes Settings > About > Status is correct it will show the dbm level there too
[Galaxy S II General] snappy123:
yes, i checked the results there aswell. the one thing however since switching from kj1 (standard modem for vodafone in australia) to lpr is my battery life improved dramatically.

using betterbatterystat app the 'RILJ' now is under 10s wakelock, while kj1 had it in the 3-5min mark. both at about 10hours of usage.
[Galaxy S II General] A$h x:
That can't be true.. I had an issue with not being able to connect to my work's wireless network. It worked with the KI4 modem, but not with KH3... If I flashed between them, I could connect to the wi-fi network. Surely that indicates that the modem has some bearing on the wi-fi functionality? Also, I guess GPS is unaffected by different modems?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
WiFi is in the kernel .

Test by deleting the modem from your rom .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] E:V:A:
Unfortunately since modem firmware is closed source, we can never be sure what's going on under the hood. Certainly for the I9100, the GPS is connected to modem (and have been shown to interfere with normal phone operation in bad firmwares) and its not clear if the wifi-antenna is separate from the other antennas or controlled by the antenna switch in the transceiver chip (also controlled by the baseband chip.) But to sum it all up. It is unlikely that the general reception quality should be at all affected by the modem, unless you're on very new hardware that has been poorly tested and tuned, although there may obviously be several other operational improvements. Another thing to remember is that baseband also controls how phone connections are made and setup in PHYS layer, and I seriously doubt that any of these Applications are able to determine measurements and parameter at that level. If in fact they do, I'd really like to know (how)!
[Galaxy S II General] Morked:
Inspired by this thread I did some testing.

I use T-Mobile in The Netherlands. According to the internet they own frequencies in the 1900 and 2100 MHz range.

The values you see (in the attachment) are the average of 3 measurements.

To calculate a score I used a weighing factor of Ping=3, Download=2, Upload=2.8 because ping is most important to me. It seems XXKL1 is best, followed by XXKP8 and XXLPS.

Here are more tests ive done today. Same location as prior and same conditions (every 2 min, phone plugged in etc)

I won’t include wifi info since seems not related to modem and ill include speed tests from now on also. Speed tests were performed right after obtaining signal reading
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
Firstly, well done for trying to ascertain any definitive difference in Modems.

As you have noticed, the spread of results within each Modem' test run means the results are variable at best. I've had some previous experience of trying alternative basebands on SE Xperias. (For interest the Cell Radio hardware in SE phones is rather better than the Samsung Omnia and Galaxy. More sensitive/better design.)

The trial was to determine if there was any tangible difference between baseband revisions in terms of signal sensitivity and battery life. There was nothing between them on both counts, despite the numerous claims to the contrary. I actually had no problems with my SE phones, they always worked extremely well everywhere in Europe.

I have repeated the same exercise with the S2. This was more out of necessity than curiosity since the S2 has rather more difficulty holding on to a marginal cell signal.

My trials involved only modems intended for Northern Europe. So I tried XXLPS, XXLPR, NELP2, XXKI3, XXKL1. I used them in real locations around the home and work and in the car for at least 2 days, same stock ROM. In each case, I checked the dbm signal strength at around the same time and in the same places, and included places with known marginal signal.

The results of my non-scientific tests are largely inconclusive. The "worst" was XXLPS by 4db. The "least worst" was XXLPR. The others were somewhere in between. However, they all fared poorly compared with the SE phone and my work Nokia.

Battery-wise, no noticeable difference observed between any modem. As the SE trial also revealed. I suggest anyone claiming otherwise should provide evidence!

Some of the modems had a strange affliction by switching quickly between 3G and H/H+. This almost looked like a neurosis. XXLPS was poor in this respect. Also, none of the modems would switch to roaming when the signal dropped completely, despite this being selected. The other phones did.

The phones used all run on 3 UK (1900/2100 MHz); other carriers and other carrier frequencies may perform differently. The higher frequency 3G signals are more susceptible to propagation loss.
[Galaxy S II General] narcosis34:
Nice thread! Many informations,ty guyz
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
So far XXKI3 seems the best for me in terms of speed and signal so far on Rogers in Canada. Will continue with other tests at a later date

Unfreeze the apps if possible, reboot your phone then see if things work correctly.

i had another problem ontop of this. (bad baseband and ril) meaning the battery was like charging then saying 98% then saying 3% then no wifi no sdcard(ext) etc. i was like NOOOOOOOOOOO... battery draining super fast. phone heating up. then i emergency try to re flash. (have no access to put files on sd card) re flashed the only zip on the sd card (lucky cm9) which has aroma launcher, enable me to do a FULL WIPE. then once into CM9 (after it freezes on boot screen (animation) for like 2 minutes. furioiusly pressing buttons wondering if batt is going flat, get into menu. hold power force reboot into recovery mode. (sometimes its really annoying to get into recovery cause hold to long reset/reload no recovery. sometimes easier to hold power in boot into recovery via PHONE CM9 loaded.

i figured out it was the kernel was making my baseband read as UNKNOWN even tho it could tell me the version. ha. only fix was to do a full wipe.

the problem you probably have is. NO WAY TO PUT ANY OTHER ROM/STOCK onto SD CARD cause you have no other device with USB MASS STORAGE SD CARD???

if you can do that, then your ok.

if you cant then you need to go into cwm.

do a restore. if you have a backup. if the backup is ext3 and you have used ex4 roms like CM7/9 then the recovery will fail. and you will still be bad...

try doing in CWM recovery (full wipe/reset/cache/dav etc) ? silly question im sure you would have tried everything.

hmm. the only solution is to get another ROM (ext4) unless u can get backtoext3.zip.

you need the files on the SD CARD.. then you should be ok . right?

What are the advantages of downgrading to 1.4 and achieving s-off vs. sticking with 1.5 and s-on by using the HTCdev method?

Well fort you want be registered as having messed with your device to prevent a void in your warranty. The others are you can flash without any programs needed to install a kernel also you can flash splash screens. Flashing radios is also a benefit of soff.

So s-off is going to give me more access. Essentially the better option if I'm willing to take the risk?
