So I seem to consistently get the highest speeds with the LEN modem, but often times 3G will just kind of drop out and I have toggle airplane mode to get it back. Any idea how to make this modem work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] oingo456:
I've had really good results with LF9 baseband. Fast data, no signal problems, good battery life (using older Blazer 1.5 rom)

I have gotten up to 2414 kbps with only 3 bars of service using this radio on some of the newer sprint base station areas! But sadly, most of the 3g is overloaded so it is rare.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nck4857:
I'm using lf9 in stl also, seems to be the best for me.

Coming from the NS4G Modem for the Samsung Epic, all the modems i've tried for the GS3 have been getting terrible signal and/or just straight dropped data service that won't come back without a huge delay for it to return or needing me to manually reboot. The NS4G modem was giving me great reception area, even in the concrete jungle they call my office here in LA. Anyone find a well working modem for the LA area, preferable comparable to the NS4G modem? Much appreciated.

Flashed the LIH AIO zip to my Blazer rom'd S3 this morning. 3g speeds are horrid now. Ping is like 500....Hoping it didnt mess up the LTE I now get. Been getting 30 down and 10 up outside Chicago. i'm not getting it right now at the office but I cant remember if i ever did. If it doesnt turn back on at home, im reverting back to LI3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eMi111:
Lately I have had huge problems on otherwise great LG8 modem (issues started cca 2 weeks ago). LI3 actually made it worse. On both modems I was roaming a lot and while lately with LG8 some messages were not sent (randomly, especially long ones), LI3 not only didn't send messages out but the incoming messages were late 30+- minutes. I have read that this is an effect of Sprint working on towers.

I have switched to LIH modem today and singal has not been forced to roaming yet, also messages go through 100%.

For anybody in DC area, LIH is the way to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Been on lih 3 days and seems best for me. I know my signal is stronger than lg8 ever was.

I'm running the CM10 nightlies, had LG8 and updated the radio to LIH. Now the phone appears to be stuck finding a signal. Is there a step I'm missing here? I've flashed radios on my old epic 4g and epic 4g touch a number of times and never had an issue. I even tried re-flashing LG8 and it does the same thing. wifi still works, but no cell connection.

Tried LI3 as well, no success.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
are you in an lte area, or an area undergoing lte/nv updates?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Amandyke:
I am actually yes. But I wasn't having signal issues until the modem update.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Amandyke:
Last night's CM10 nightly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nikolkang:
This has never happened to me before but have heard others mention that a hands free activation fixes it.

Go back to a TW rom and punch in the below in your dialer.

##72786#

This will initiate hands free activation and fix issues if you lose modem completely... So I've heard. Then update your prl and profile and go back to cm10
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Well there's your problem. eHDRP, which is responsible for the 3g/4g handover, doesn't work right on CM10. Sadly I'm in an LTE area with my phone set to CDMA only until it gets fixed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Amandyke:
This fixed it. You sir win at being awesome.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nikolkang:
Glad to hear!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Heylookitsbret:
Going to try this now, hope it saves me from a trip to the sprint store. Although it hasn't helped with the 8 calls to sprint. They told me there was a 4G outage in my area when there clearly wasn't..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zambien:
LIH update

After running LIH for the past half day I can see the following vs LI3.

1. Better 3G signal. When running pandora and other streaming apps there is are no more gaps in the music stream and I have a decent 3G signal in some places where i did not have any 3G signal under LI3.

2. Slightly more battery being used for cell radio... to be expected.

3. I no longer get 4G in some areas where I did before. LI3 allowed me to connect to 4G in those areas. Doesn't really matter though... the 4G areas in question had horrible call quality and even though I got good speedtest speeds pandora and other streaming apps had lots of silence and gaps in playback on 4G. Seems that the improved 4G reception on the LI3 really didn't improve much for my area.

4. LIH>LG8>LI3

It seems Sprint must still be working out the kinks in the 4g radio on the s3.

In order for everything to work between each upgrade I had to update my PRL and profile. Running stock with root.

I am generally in western baltimore county and eastern carroll county in MD.

LTE doesn't handle voice
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zambien:
When connected to 4G voice quality was horrible. On 3G it was fine. I tested this a few times while I was on LI3.

Not sure why.. could have just been the 4G tower I was on. It was the same tower each time I made calls on 4G.

best radio for NYC

sorry if this has been asked before, I am looking for the best radio for NYC, any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
That's a truly YMMV question & answer.

Depends on the area of NYC, etc.

Nothing worked for me, and that's just trying to complete a phone call without issues.

I tried up to LG8, prior to departing sprint.

Data speed was a lightning fast 350Kbps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] livito:
lol, sounds like the same problem I am having, I am just trying to get a better reception (something that should be on sprint side), anyway, what company are you with right now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
Verizon.

I have a few posts and threads about switching.

Costs me about $17 more a month. But I get Unlimited minutes and texts.

Data is not unlimited, but at least I get 18Mbps when needed.

Sprint is unlimited, but most get molasses data speeds.

When and if the LTE network gets up and running for the masses, the Unlimited data for the $10 surcharge will dissappear as Quickly as the Premier Program did :(

Most important of All, is that I can Finally Complete a Call WITHOUT Issues, after not being able to do so with Sprint for over 2 months.

Oh what a relief it is..... To borrow a quote ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] THORMUNZ:
Thanks for this post m8 I wanted to know what this does and which one is better because honestly I have flashed many stuff job iPods iPhone flashed game console and stuff but when it comes to android all I know is rotting and flashing then comes the brick wall in the middle of two split roads I been doing my reading. but Does this helps me with signal data right? Also I live in CA in los Angeles and sometimes I get 3g and it goes away I'm in paranoid android jelly bean custom ROM I need help with this so which one can I get? And works the best:p and I want a little bit of info. And dry for being somewhat redundant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I can say I know lih is the best for me in south Mississippi. Been testing different radios over about a 2 wk time period and its lih for me. Foster 3g and a lil better signal than lg8.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] THORMUNZ:
Hmm then should I test them?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
With radios its about where you are located. I've seen a few ppl say lih is good up in WA also.. Go for it, the leaked radios are all on Goo just search : freeza

Hey I noticed and I have lih
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] membrain:
To those that say they don't have enough time to read all the pages but are still waiting for an answer to which radio/modem is best:

Could have read all 30+ pages by now, eh? I just finished reading to here and have started downloading the radios I intend on trying.

I'm from the DFW area (on Sprint) and am currently in S. Alabama and don't like the few bars I'm getting.

I have come over from my EVO 4G which I had tailored to work great between the 2 places.

Bottom line, is (like everyone keeps saying) pick one and try it out or just keep it where you are if it is working for you.

I'll post later after I have checked my choices.

Oh, and thanks (thanked!) to OP for this thread! :good:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] magnumstg16:
Thanks for the forward to Freeza's goo.im files. Question though I'm a little confused with how he has them marked. I've got LI3 but all his files say LXX to LXX so can I flash any of the ones I want to try or do I need to follow from one radio to the next. The OP's files don't indicate having to do this but Freeza's naming worries me a bit. Thanks for the help!

LJ7 (which will be the official jb final build being ota'ed tomorrow) 's radio is great! It fixed wifi connect issues for me, on some routers it was stuck at obtaining address sometimes but now it connects to any wifi in a split second, was looking for this fix for too long!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zambien:
I can confirm that the LJ7 is much better around Carroll County and eastern Baltimore County in MD. I am getting much stronger and faster (measured with speedtest.net) 4G and 3G signals. Also the handoff from tower to tower is faster if I hit a spot with no coverage.

I concur.

I am not sure if is related to the modem, I flashed LJ7 and Jellybean Domination 7.0 around same time. My LTE seems to have stopped working.

I have tried every single radio on here. I have even tried LIH. I am getting terrible 3G speeds on all of them. Some are worse than others. Some I dont even get a data signal at all. But my speeds range from 100kbps to 400kbps at best. Another thing is, while on my Wifi network, I keep getting a data roaming warning. Even with my roam guards off. I just switched to this phone from the EVO 4G LTE and I never had such terrible data speeds. Im so frustrated with this and I dont wanna keep flashing radios. I feel like it cant be good for my phone and is probably quite risky. I just dont know what to do anymore. Deal with it I guess.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I flashed LJ7 and noticed it took a while to get a 3G signal after first bootup. Do these modems have to "settle"?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
No settle in time at all. It doesn't work like a kernel. After the absolute first install of the new modem driver i did notice the same thing though. After just a minute or two or maybe hitting airplane mode on then off then it should just connect. You shouldn't see that anymore than after initial install.

I do get 1x on occasion when I find it switching from home to roam. Most times it just switches right. I use 56009 prl and was using latest stock prl 25006.
