I have tried a few modems including KH3, NELP2, NELP3, LQ5 and LPX.

NELP4 gives better signal strength in the places I've tested. I'm on T-Mobile UK.
[Galaxy S II General] sdarshan10:
Dear All,.

I am running samsung galaxy s2 GT-I9100P model of O2 Uk network here in india. It is unlcoked phone. Since few days I am getting error as " Emergency network only" while moving around in lifts, tunnels etc" It didn't capture the network until I reboot the phone. Please help me what might be possible cause for the same? For now I have done factory reset , wipe cache/ data . Also phone is displaying the IMEI number and baseband correctly. What might be the cause for this problem. Any help would be appreciated. I am currently running on stock ICS 4.0.3.
[Galaxy S II General] i360*:
Lifts and tunnnels? Sounds normal. What is your modem?
[Galaxy S II General] jex77er:
Modem upgrade is WORTH it!

Just upgraded my modem - Always assume they were all the same and didn't really change anything....

However,

Originally on I9100XXLPS

- Speed test results: Download 1.56Mbps Upload .8Mbps

Upgraded to I9100NELP3

- Speed test results: Download 4.12Mbps Upload 2.05Mbps

Running CM9 RC1 on TalkSmart (Vodafona UK)
[Galaxy S II General] sdarshan10:
I dont know how to check it but I am on official stock ics for O2 UK network rom. I did change the rom once using odin and then reflash the O2 UK rom. My phone is showing IMEI correctly. I did tried hard reset but that also didn't help. Please help me I am searching for the solution since many days. I also write to O2 but have not got any reply yet. I am also not able to chat with O2 customer care as I am living in india. If someone could check whether my IMEI is blocked or not I will be grateful to him. For got to mention that I bought it from ebay india and the seller has bought it from UK.

I do understand that I could not get network in lifts/tunnels but its not switching back normally.
[Galaxy S II General] i360*:
Try flashing a different modem. And please edit and remove your IMEI number
[Galaxy S II General] skimminstones:
youre not getting a signal in tunnels or lifts? Does anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] penfold99:
And now you have the imei in your quote....
[Galaxy S II General] sdarshan10:
I tried you suggestion but result is same....Do you think it is occurring because i once flashed indian ics rom through odin and then switch back to original rom using odin. But my IMEI is intact. Should I again reflash the firmware in Samsung service center will this work?
[Galaxy S II General] i360*:
It might just be normal really, nobody gets signal in lifts and tunnel
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Seem to be having issues with o2 again.

No data connection, tried several modems, rebooted etc.

Kerp swapping between 1-3 bars whrn normally I'd have full signal.

o2 status they have been messing with the mast in my area in the last 24 hours, but are reporting everything to be fine. Hmm
[Galaxy S II General] Talminator:
Ahh thank you so much, this thread has been a great help. Up until now I've been having serious issues with signal (on T-Mobile UK, switches to Orange when I'm in an area of poor signal).

I've spent so long looking for a good modem for a UK SGSII owner. Flashed DXLP7 yesterday and signal has been so much better compared to XXLQ6. I now get signal in places where previously I had none, and HSPA+ in areas where I was stuck on GSM/EDGE connection. To anyone in the South-East, DXLP7 appears to work like a charm!

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
Any advice, the screenshot is what i'm using now but battery life is up and down. My phones constantly in use online for work etc and do alot of travelling on the south coast by train. Ideally want a decent modem that will be ideal for trains and any advice to improve battery, UV'd -25mv already (followed siyahs guide for moderate UV)

by the way my train trips are always covering bournemouth, southampton and chichester if that makes any difference and on the o2 network
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
I personally use LPX on O2. Might just be decent for my area though. Not sure!?
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
i'll give it a try this eve when i finish work, i know i dont have any travel arrangements until weekend so that will be the main test time
[Galaxy S II General] i360*:
Use XXKI4, im using it with O2 and it's brilliant. Battery is excellent.
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
will flash that now, flashed LPX at 1 when my customer needed a break so gave me 20mins spare, since then its struggled to maintain 1 signal bar so guessing its not the greatest to use on the south coast
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
DXLP9/KH3 Is also suppose to be good for O2. Havent tried it though.

Edit: Found this on some website too.... Used XXKI3 modem in this package as I compared it to XXKI4 and whilst performance was similar on O2 network XXKI3 was more efficient when it came to battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
I've just flashed the KI3 and surprised, my signal is constant between 2 bars or full so happy with that, i'm on wifi in work but will be switching to data soon until i get home so hoping the improvement is just as good there and will be monitoring everything such as battery and signals over the weekend with the train travel etc
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
If you could report back, it would be appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
in a known "dead" zone now with quick enough internet speeds and according to ZD Box app i've got predicted 36hours of battery left at 82%....so far so good, not lost complete signal once so far, lowest has been 1 bar :D
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Good to know :D
[Galaxy S II General] i360*:
KI3 is more efficient in terms of battery life but KI4 has faster internet speeds. Theres not much difference in the battery life anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
i know the battery wont remain that great seeing the phone is in constant use between jobs but atleast now i know i can or should be able to do a full day of work and know i wont need to charge the phone at any point :D
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Is the UK stock 4.0.4 out yet?

Abroad so I can't check atm
[Galaxy S II General] i360*:
Gonna be out soon, the next month or so. There's a leaked version for UK but it might be risky.

[Galaxy S II General] ZombieSleeper:
What modem do people on Three use?

The phone came with XXLPS and the internet speed was average but the internet connection was dropped fairly often.

I changed to NELP3 and it is better, somewhat faster internet speed and almost no loss of internet connection.

I'm thinking to try KI4/KI3 just to see how they fare.

I've also disabled FD (Fast Dormancy), no speed improvements, only battery life has improved.
[Galaxy S II General] i360*:
NELP3 owns KI4/KI3 if you're looking at Internet speed. If you want battery life then KI3 is the one.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Is this brick-free? unlike the euro 4.0.4 version....@_@
[Galaxy S II General] i360*:
Of course. Although if you're coming from a custom ROM, wipe everything and dalvik cache too.
[Galaxy S II General] SPBoss:
What is fast dormancy and what are advantages and disadvantages of disabling it? :)

Galaxy SII i9100 running Resurrection Remix Rom with Siyah Kernel!
[Galaxy S II General] ZombieSleeper:
Fast Dormancy is a feature that lets your phone tell the cellular base when it's done using the connection, so that the cellular base can close the connection without waiting for a timeout. Hope that makes sense:).

The advantage is battery life improved (not a huge improvement, but still), and some users have reported faster internet speeds. Don't think there are any disadvantages.

You should disable FD only if your network doesn't support it or leave it enabled if it does support it.
[Galaxy S II General] SPBoss:
The only problem is i dont know if my network supports it (Tesco - they use o2 network)

Galaxy SII i9100 running Resurrection Remix Rom with Siyah Kernel!
[Galaxy S II General] i360*:
o2 does support fast dormancy. Disabling it will improve your battery life and download speeds.

Edit: If you're using Resurection Remix, disabling/enabling fast dormancy is a pain.

Install FastDormancy Toggle for i9300 from Play Store. It also works with SGS2 and is much easier.
[Galaxy S II General] Fissurez:
i thought fast dormancy was supposed to increase those?
[Galaxy S II General] i360*:
That's what I thought but the speeds actually increase for some networks.
[Galaxy S II General] ZombieSleeper:
But if the network supports FD and you have it disabled or the other way around doesn't that decrease your battery life? Or at least that's what I read.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UndisputedGuy:
So, now we have phones with quad core processors clocked at higher than the transformer 300, are they more powerful than tablets or is there something I'm missing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leroybrute:
I am running at 1.6ghz on my tf300. Got a quadrant score of 5290 and cf-bench of 14930, Antutu 13116.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UndisputedGuy:
I meant without root. Are phones actually more powerful now?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
Yes and no. True, they are clocked higher but, the internal processor is exactly the same in terms of speed and power. The RAM is also the same (1GB) except for that new LG phone which has 2 and is coming out in some Asian country later this year.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Also quadrant means nothing, were getting to the point where lower quadrants may mean better devices, let me explain.

A GOOD processor setup will clock down when in low power mode and when there is a high demand clock up to deal with it. Quadrant does not always throw enough weight to kickstart that high performance mode in all setups, so sometimes it tests lower than it should.

You also have to remember that quadrant tests IO of everything. If you have a better processor but, say, slower memory, you will test LOWER on quadrant even tho you have a better processor. If someone with, say a Galaxy S I9000 has an uber C10 micro SD and has the system loaded on that the IO for that system will be very high and even tho its only a 1ghz phone it could, in theory, quadrant higher than the TF201.

This is why i hate quadrant tests, they are flawed and i have seen roms that are meant to test high on quadrant and nothing else, and believe me for every day use they are SLOW.

Rest assured at this point theres only really one major quad core mobile processor. The 201 has it. The 300 has a lower clocked version of the same chip. The 700 is going to have a higher clocked version of the same chip. From a PROCESSOR standpoint, they are virtually identical.

Now when you say powerful, the galaxy S 3 (rumored) will definately have the potential to one up the prime. Usually samsung goes for lower res screens so the GPU doesnt have to work as hard, they have a customized chip so the processor may be slightly higher, and when factoring in other things (USB OTG, MHL abilities, Camera resolutions, etc.) it MAY be considered more powerful.

For now, tho, the prime is one of the top dogs. Maybe not THE top dog, but definitely a contender. Just remember: Theres always a bigger fish.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrokeefe:
I concur with you fine sir.

These quadrant scores comparing processors should be ran to benchmark just the processor not everything else. That would at least give you comparable results.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
so finnaly the suspense is over !!! after months of rumours and leaks the sgs3 goes

live.....

it appears that cheap Samsung is still not willing to shed off the plastic feel of its phones :mad: as the s3 is just glossy plastic( ok maybe some other things here and there but still plastic :p ).....

packing a 4.8 inch 720p super amoled screen with some great software ( some siri rival and eye tracking technology) the s3 looks to be the best galaxy ever :eek:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] yurachan1:
the design is not up to my expectations. still 8mp camera. (but its still good) Still not HD Amoled like the Galaxy Note. But all is good. ram is still 1GB . Nice quadcore 1.4 GHz but i think HTC ONE X has 1.5 ? would still wait for other phones to come.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
ya wait for galaxy S4 :p:p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] blindboylevy:
True there. I think they said HD amoled. But still htc one has 1.5ghz.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
Early benchmarks suggest it's a fair bit quicker than the HTC. Nothing complete yet.

I have no interest in the way it looks, but I imagine that those hardware buttons are overly-fiddly, they've been really crammed in tight at the bottom of the phone. I like hardware buttons, but there's almost no point in having them with this design.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] FMAranda:
Me too, I really liked the SGSIII, it looks pretty, the software and Samsung's exclusive apps are good including the new Game and Video Hub. I don't think they messed up with TouchWiz since it looks awesome on this new device. Also, Tegra 3 doesn't support LTE while the Exynos Quad-Core supports this technology.

I would say you can create apps using this phone as it's possible on the iPad.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] abhibnl:
samsung is back on "the king of smartphone" crown with s3. Just have a look at the bencmarks. it washes away one x with still not fully finalized rom. once proper optimizations are done, one x will not be able to touch it in performance.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] verboten999:
Personally, performance is the most important thing on a smart phone. Aesthetics does not really matter unless it REALLY looks ugly, in this case I think S3 doesn't. Although I am interested in the device, I'm gonna wait until the price drop. With that kind of spec, price is gonna soar for sure. I still have my budget to follow, mortgage to pay, and a family to feed. Another thing would be XDA support on that particula gadget :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MrChaosDesire:
Should go to the S3 forums for this.

And if you ask me, I love the SIII.

Its fast, its simple, its cheap.

Plus it packs everything I need from nice screen size and performance with a 2100mAh battery to last with the power efficient processor.

Its using the same GPU as Galaxy Ace 2 thougg.

I don't understand what all the haters are saying - imo there's a definite increase in performance - and the phone looks fine cosmetically.

Yes, the HD screen isn't new as it's been in some other phones, but gpu-wise, internal storage-wise, os-wise this phone is much much better than Galaxy S2.
