Go to menu,setings,more,mobile networks,network mode and select "GSM only" ..on some carriers it experiences signal drops (on all modems) if you use it in the auto WCDMA/GSM or on the WCDMA ... so..switch to GSM only , you wont have signal drops but unfortunatly your internet will be only EDGE (not 3g or H+) ..but you can download a quick switch widget and when you want to use the internet in 3g or H+ just click that and you will have faster internet, I use edge and its just fine for what I need it. Tell me if that solves your problem.

thanks. no more overheating. my current rom is CM9 nightly.

My phone couldn't enter deep sleep with kh3 modem, switch back to dxlp9. :(
[Galaxy S II General] john_x:
What do you mean deep sleep?
[Galaxy S II General] jackfree1:
I knew this suggestion but I didn't trie it because I wanted to test the new modem. Anyway i'm going to do it! :good:

Could you tell me please a name of widget switching 3g/H+? Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S II General] tuilalnvinh:
My fault, mate, i've found the cause which didn't relate to the modem. So, switch again to kh3, fastest gps lock ever :D

Modems

Hi guys, try UHLPF or UHLPG modems, they are originally made for Latin America. With russian cellular operators they've been tested and got gold-rated on 4pda.ru. I use UHLPF now and am satisfied like never before. All the issues with high battery drain or signal loss are now over. Also COMKL4 had been high-praised, but no luck for me with it.

Issue not solved

Still heating problem is there

Heating issue

I confirm that "heating issue" is not solved. But to my mind, this is not an issue at all, as long as I can bear the heat :) Issues I name the camera's pink spot, frame drops, signal loss, as they concern main functionality.
[Galaxy S II General] ArmorD:
What did you do while your phone got overheated? When you play heavy games or do something while charging, it is very likely it'll get heated, no matter what phone.
[Galaxy S II General] alextzef:
Super hot 40-50*c

Hello from Greece,i would like to share my overheating experiance...Upgraded by KIES to ics last month after a hard-FULL reset.My GS2 is DTM branded bought from MediaMarkt in GREECE.Had no problems the first 2 weeks and then it just started to overheat near-round the camera,only while having WIFI ON and surfing the web!It feels so bad and hot on the back and on the top of the screen that holding it for more than 15 min is unbearable!It seems to get much worse with Opera browser!!!

BASEBAND VERSION I9100BOLP5

PDA:I9100BOLPD

PHONE:I9100BOLP5

CSC:I9100DTMLP5

So should i

1)try KH3

2)Try anotherone,mayby someone has the same phone i do that could help

3)take it to service?

Thanks for any helpfull answer in advance!!!
[Galaxy S II General] TWeaKoR:
@alextzef download Odin and put the KH3 modem in the Phone section. If that doesn't improve things, feel free to try other modems. I wouldn't bother taking it to another service provider, unless you're unhappy with the service they're giving you.

Edit: If you meant take the phone in for a service, you could try that, but they would probably just turn around and say it's within normal operating parameters, then charge you for the privilege.

If you look back through the thread there are links to download Odin as well as further instructions on how to use it.
[Galaxy S II General] alextzef:
WHO

Thank you very much TWeaKoR!I have just contacted Samsung service and they informed me that i can take it in for a look with no charges applied since i ve got it just over 2 months thus its still covered by the 2 year warranty.If nothing changes i ll definitely try the modem solution!

What i wanted to add is that the problem of overheating is really much bigger with Opera than with the Stock browser with 3 tabs open and one playing video(max42+*C and freezes vs max 38*C keeps working).

One more thing,when i think about it it all seems to have begun after my phone shut down in the middle of a phonecall when the battery reached 0%.I tried to turn it on but it didnt and only after a while it showed the battery symbol and a yellow triangle.Maybe i ve damaged the battery or something...please forgive my poor English and spelling,i hope i havent confused you all!
[Galaxy S II General] bkraptor:
I installed the KH3 radio and I didn't notice any diferences in temperature or parameters.

XXLPW -> -87 dBm, 13 asu, HSDPA:9

31 degrees

XXKH3 -> -83 dBm, 15 asu, HSDPA:9

31 degrees
[Galaxy S II General] john_x:
Try taking it to the service first,I am 90% sure they will say its normal and that thats how the phone dispereses heat, but..I personaly (and other users) have noticed a drop of temperature on the kh3 modem, every phone reaches 35-38 degrees while on the internet...but I used to pass 45 on other modems!

Try first the service and see what they say,if that does not work then definetly install the kh3 modem,also..please come back with a reply and tell us what the guys in the service say!

Good luck! :D
[Galaxy S II General] Scratch0805:
Its worked for me so far, I constantly had 2 bars and the phone was heating up to 50+ degrees especially round the camera since I rooted and flashed a new rom. Did this a few hours ago and now I have a full signal bar and I watched the temp drop back down to around 30 ish degrees whilst still doing the same type of thing as before. Will see how the battery goes after a full charge tomorrow. :D
[Galaxy S II General] john_x:
You will be surprised how good the battery is on this modem ;)

Thanks for sharing your experience.
[Galaxy S II General] mzone1510:
How did you check that? I'm using Network signal info and it gave me a message on startup saying some modem files are modified and it show signal strength locked to 85dbm. And when I opened it it was stuck at that reading itself. Under "phone' by the code *#*#4636*#*# it shows 0dbm. How do I check my signal strength now?! I am on XXLPG and was earlier on XXLPX Modem which gave accurate readings. I flashed the CWM version first then tried the ODIN version but same thing.
[Galaxy S II General] Scratch0805:
Thanks, I've been on it for 4 hours so far this morning with heavy use, temp hasn't gone above 35 and I have 70% battery left. After 4 hours with the old modem I would seriously have been reaching for my charger by now. Thanks for the tip. :)
[Galaxy S II General] fluidz:
Battery monitor showing 44c here, was 44c before I flashed kh3.. No difference. What temps are you guys seeing while the phones charging?

The only thing I've noticed with this modem is that I'm not seeing h+ as much as I used too, it's sitting on 3g, yet sometimes hitting h+ when sending/requesting Internet traffic. I suppose the drop to 3g when idle = better battery life?
[Galaxy S II General] mzone1510:
This happen to anybody else? I need to check my signal levels to compare.
[Galaxy S II General] fluidz:
Flashed this modem only hours ago, 10 minutes ago my Internet dropped and It said "emergency calls only" in my notifications. I had forced wcdma before the signal dropped.

Rebooting the phone fixed it. The stock ics modem never dropped its signal.

Modem related?
[Galaxy S II General] bkraptor:
Settings -> About phone -> Status -> under "Signal strength"
[Galaxy S II General] theotheoth:
For me,the overheating problem remains,actually it went 7 points up 40 C->47 C (while charging).Before I go back to my default one I will try some different modems though.
[Galaxy S II General] theotheoth:
Ok...after trying all the modems I could get for cwm at crazypig.org ( I can't post outside links yet) I didn't noticed any major changes to the temperature until I flashed XXKI3.The battery temperature now is from 33 C to 35 C and with all the other modems I tried,the temperature was up to 40 & also about the signal...I don't see any changes on that with XXKI3 modem.

EDIT : ok...after trying to play some games like zynga poker,fruit ninja I noticed BIG problem with overheating with XXKi3 modem.45 C battery temperature,so I thought to try play the same games at the same duration with the modem XXKH3 and the battery temperature didn't go upper from 33 C !!! big difference when you play games from XXKI3 but also big difference when you charging the device from XXKI3.
[Galaxy S II General] mzone1510:
Thanks! It works this way but apps which show signal levels on a graph etc do not work.
[Galaxy S II General] tuzogt:
I have LPX modem and while charging usually reaches 50-51c:confused:. I will try this fix for sure
[Galaxy S II General] dimi22:
I try this but no difference in batt temp.... but but... what i would say is that i use cyanogenmod 9 nightly's... that is the problem i think

because when i use a stock rom the phone doesnt gets so hot usually.

no the phone gets hot immidiatly and i hate it very much ... about 40 degree immidiatly

i would like to ask who has a stock rom and still heating issues

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Right now i am flashing the stock XEN firmware. i hope that nasty heating is not so bad as on cm9.....
[Galaxy S II General] fluidz:
Im using neat rom lite 4.03, battery temp with kh3 is the same as with the stock dell modem. No difference. So its certainly not cm nightly at fault. I think its placebo tbh, people just so happen to believe their temps have improved.
[Galaxy S II General] AndHD2:
I were having very minor signal loss using MysticsGlory Rom so I tried flashing the modem in post one. After a hour or so of usage the phone restarted multiple times and got very hot so I have returned the modem back to one supplied with my current Rom and since no problem at all.

For me the modem in post one only made things a lot worse.

Hey, OP, do you know if the KH3 modem works just as well for Romanians using the Orange carrier?
[Galaxy S II General] ice.bogdan:
Hi, it works fine for orange RO, at least for the heating part.
[Galaxy S II General] ba32471:
It's simple

Hot temperature while your phone is in the pocket, is caused by one o more process in loop on the CPU, trust me :angel:

Every time ( not often) my SG2 gets hot for a long time, I just remove process history and then I free RAM using stock tool ( home button long press ).

That's all guys
[Galaxy S II General] ice.bogdan:
I do this sometimes too, but with this modem I found it does not get hot running cpu intensive apps. It just gets warmer. I did not notice any change on the signal part yet.

Is this modem work on LQ5?
[Galaxy S II General] Rebok88:
i'm on cosmote romania and this modem for my phone is the worst, signal drops every time i make a call, gps fix in minutes, overheating very quickly when 3g or H is enabled.

this modem is great for some GS2 but not for all phones... now i'm using the LPB international modem and this modem is the best so far for my phone...

if the KH3 is still bad for you, maybe what i have done will work on your phone too...

my original modem that came with the phone when i bought it was BVLPB after i get rid of that horrible Samsung **** and got the CM9 on my phone it was perfect... all running smooth... but when i have flashed the Remix Resurrection i have lost that modem, tried several modems (the KH3 was among them) and i was disappointed ... so i removed the "BV" (BVLPB) from my original modem and replaced with the "XX" => XXLPB is not so good as the original but the gps locks in 3 seconds when i'm using data it stays cool the signal is great and signal lost just happened once at 3hours after i flashed the modem (a modem need a 3-4 days to settle)...

hope that my experience and problem will help you....

please notice that i'm not a noob, and my solution may or may not help you with this kind of problems... you must keep it going till you get your modem for your phone and not for you :P, just a little joke

have a nice flashing...
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep5885:

if i install kh3 over my stock ki8 rom... Would i compromise the kies compatability ?
[Galaxy S II General] geraldoff:
well-minded, will try that now.

Its OK here!
[Galaxy S II General] Zlooo:
Has anyone try this in XWLPG?
[Galaxy S II General] max621:
its not ok...

i used mobile odin for flashing the modem...

. no significant change in net speed.

. And Checkfus and Kies stop recognazing the phone...

So if you can live without Kies.. than go ahead ...
[Galaxy S II General] geraldoff:
So we have a problem, im using the KH3 and restored my backup and everything through Kies.

A few min ago i have applied a rooted rom and reapplied the KH3 and yet my Kies recognize my phone.

Try to apply the factory rom again and install the KH3.
[Galaxy S II General] jhetskie:
is it ok to flash this modem to DXLP7?
[Galaxy S II General] djseaneq:
yep
[Galaxy S II General] max621:
after flashing the 3g stock rom i reapplied the kh3 modem... and the same result as previous attempt.. no kies or checkfus for firmware upgrade though kies recognize the phone...

So eventually i revert to stock ki8 rom and modem..
[Galaxy S II General] gabriolinari:
hi there

i was experiencing "weird" things on my sgs2 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1807468), to make things simple, when at work, my phone would lose connection (even with 4 bars displayed) and had to reset very often to fix it, ONLY at work, at home working OK. AND at the same time phone would get really overheated when browsing via wifi or 3g or GPS or so this was a perfect chance to test this KH3 modem., i had KI4 before.

my feedback so far:

flashed the .zip via CWM, phone was at like 33C and went down to 29C after like 5 minutes however it kept doing some funny restarts, dunno if they are related or not, battery reported first 15% then 27%, i resetted battery stats via CWM and i am giving it a good charge.

anyway it seems better, as far as i can tell from the temperature drop AND i tested GPS and a speed test and was really fast connecting the signal, faster than before.

will post more feedback next week, if phone doesnt drop connection at work anymore, i will be really happy :)

ciao!

Try XWKI3, flash in CMW.
[Galaxy S II General] Obagleyfreer:
Apparently you cant possibly get a true representation of how a modem is going to work by flashing loads in a day and trying out signal, 3g, data speeds etc.

A modem has a settling in period on a phone of about 3 days, after it's been running on your phone for 3 days that is when you know properly how it is going to act :)

This is probably a noob question but search didn't come up with anything. How can I find out the firmware version I am running on?

Using OpenSensation fwiw.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
If you do not have the Android SDK installed on your computer you need to install it. Then go to the Windows Start menu and select computer. Then open the Android SDK folder then open the tools folder. When in the tools folder hold shift and right click anywhere it is open space in the window. Select open command window here. When the window opens up connect your device via USB cable(make sure you have USB debugging checked in development in Settings) and then type the following into the command window.

fastboot getvar all

You will be looking for version-main the number beside it is your firmware version
[HTC Sensation] rhirne12:
If your talking about the firmware you need for ICS, if you are not on ICS currently (AKA Gingerbread), you're not on the right firmware and it will have to be updated if you want to install ICS.

If you are talking about radio or h-boot, etc.. version, there are different ways to get that info

I have lots of games (most of them 3D) so I have to download a lot of Data.I tried to move the apps to the sd, thinking it might free up some memory in my internal memory of only 16GB ( I have 32GB external SD card). I quickly found that they apps are not installed in my external sd card!? They are all in my internal sd card (which I thought as my phone memory). I realized that samsung phones have an sd card inside as their memory, so the system can only move from phone to internal sd card.

I am trying to figure out how to move an app to external sd card.

Anyone has any clue??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Juicy555:
I had the same problem, never found a solution...

BUT, just move all your music, videos, and other files to your external sd card and the 16gb internal sd card should be more then enough to have all your 3d games on... thast what i do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Firedcylinder:
Don't forget, there's still 2gb of nand memory in there that holds all the pre-installed apps plus any that you don't move to sd. Personally I keep all my games and 3d apps on the phone memory (tip here, nand is faster than flash) and all the less critical apps on the sd.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bikram:
Ok after a lot of research I found out that you can't do it without ROOTING!!

After rooting there are lot of apps which can move your apps to external sd.

I am not going to root so I guess I am stuck ...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
The default battery icon that is in the stock firmware is only updated about every 15% or so, until you get to 20% battery remaining, then it's updated every 5%, I think.

There are many mods around (you can search for them in the Themes & Apps section) to get a modded battery icon that has the percentage number displayed as well, that is updated with every 1 percent instead.
