Thanks for taking the time to test this modem firmware out on your Telus S3! :highfive:

Edit: dstruct2k, have you found any performance differences between I747MVLDLK4 and I747MUMLK3 ? (did I get that right, lol... don't want to be confusing) I realize that your answer might not mean anything to me considering we are in different parts of the country.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
I haven't had enough time with LK3 to know anything about it, I'm actually running LJ1 right now and was running LL1 this morning. I never post anything without testing it myself first (except the AT&T firmware, I don't have one to test with) but that means that I really don't know much about each individual modem.

You should be getting LTE service where you are, whereas in Winnipeg the best we have is H+, so I can only suggest starting with the newest build and working your way backward if you find problems.

I have no idea if these are release-quality, beta-builds, or custom-per-carrier, so I can't guarantee anything performance-wise. My goal is simply to have a collection of every modem known to allow people to use whichever one they'd like to.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Re: [MODEM] Complete Modem List for both I747U & I747M

The rpm is the resource power management and controls power to the modem and radio. See more here:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/36114-wip-rpm-explained/

I have always flashed the matching rpm with a modem if possible. Just like to have things nice and tidy :). I'm guessing that means no one has them to flash? No biggie was just curious

Re: [MODEM] Complete Modem List for both I747U & I747M

I'm at least curious.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
Before I start tinkering with flashing different modems, I just wanted some clarification. In my new area I get low signal and my signal quality is always in the yellow. Will flashing a different modem possibly improve my signal quality cause less battery drain by doing so since it doesn't have to fight as hard to keep a connection?

Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saj222:
Re: [MODEM] Complete Modem List for both I747U & I747M

Possibly, yes. YMMV though.

With my old phone (HTC Hero) the best modem with the best signal strength for me actually drew slightly more power. So it was a wash in terms of battery life. The Hero had such bad reception that this more power hungry modem actually improved the call quality - which was a win for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
It's more likely that you'll see higher battery drain; You can't generate a stronger signal with less power without replacing hardware. One of these modems might allow higher power usage though, which'll definitely increase your signal strength.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
Say I flash a new modem and I do get a stronger signal due to increased power usage. Will that still be less power usage than if the phone was constantly fighting to maintain 1-2 bars at all times?

Hi. I'm having a lot of issues with my signal since I've flashed custom ROMs on my phone. I wanted to ask...

The very first modem listed in AT&T says stock - what does that mean? The very first modem on the s3? And the following ones are all upgrades from AT&T since then?

I seem to have the latest one and it's unclear to me if that happened during a custom rom flash or if it came with the 4.1 update from AT&T.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Re: [MODEM] Complete Modem List for both I747U & I747M

Did you try changing modem? Last try, try the ROM I am on and see if that helps. I'm on intergalactic 2.7 now and none so far reported bad signal issues. Just a try.

And whenever you change modems, give it some time to settle down.

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

Slightly more power to connect to tower is far less wasted compared to phone constantly fighting for signal. This is because once the phone "settles in", phone optimizes the power to stay connected to tower. This is why people are told to allow the modem to settle in.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
The first one in each list is the one that came installed on the device on release day. I've only identified them as such to help people that need to return-to-stock for warranty work.

Every other modem has been extracted from updates provided by (or leaked by) carriers around the world.

hey guy,s right now when i looked in to the baseband on my phone, in phone information, after flashing an at&t rom it says I747MVLDLK4.... but when i looked at the back of my box it says SGHI747MBC. So does that mean that I should be using baseband I747MBC?? sorry kind of new to this. reason is that I have been experiencing bad lte connection after flashing a rom designed for at&t. Can anyone confirm this. and would anyone happent have the right modem??

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
There is no "right" modem. You've got an I747M. (I bet you're in British Columbia, hence the "BC" on the end.) Install any modem from the first post that says it's for the I747M.

You're running DLK4 right now according to your post. Flashing a ROM doesn't change your modem, so that's the modem you've had all along. Make sure the ROM you're using has the right APN settings in it, flashing a new modem won't fix anything if the APNs are wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thoughtMaze:
hey thanks D, no im in the GTA, ontario. ok well if i have the original modem i dont understand why my lte signal is so crappy now... and i have checked my APN's and they look good too... so i dont get what the deal is.

i guess there is not point to me flashing another modem then
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
There's

always

a point in flashing another modem. I'd suggest starting with the newest modem for your model, and if you continue to have issues after a day or so, work back from there.

I've made sure to keep the stock modems available for anyone to re-flash should they decide that it's a device issue and need to return-to-stock.

Re: [MODEM] Complete Modem List for both I747U & I747M

Hello all!

I recently flashed the latest radio to my Rogers i747m (MUMLL1), and since doing it, my MMS hasn't been working. Everything else seems good, just can't get pictures to send or receive!

I've verified my apn's and they seem to be correct. I've tried older radios too, but nothing seems to work to get my MMS up and running.

Any suggestions?

What ROM are you using?

Have you tried clearing your Dalvik and cache partitions and running a "fix permissions" from your recovery?

What messaging program are you using? (GO SMS, stock, Handcent, etc)

Do you get an error when you try to send an MMS or does it just sit there "sending" forever?

Broken garbage?? Wow, u need to experiment a little. What's so wrong with jb???

Edit: great post btw, wish more were so detailed and thought out

Sounds like an apn issue
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] davethebossman:
Haha ah yes the good old APN issue. I can very conclusively say that many of our problems in the SMS/MMS realm are not due to APN corrections. As far as my research has revealed, there are ZERO alternative APN settings for Telus Mobility...

APN: sp.telus.com

MMSC:http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc

MMS Prox: 74.49.0.18

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 302

MNC: 220

Type: default,supl,mms,dun

All other settings: default/null

That was recited by memory because I've entered that info many many times. One new APN entry, two entries, three entries, editing existing entries, deleting settings, changing the authentication type or the bearer or the blah blah blah. I'm not an amazing coder (at all, in fact), but i'm enough of a scientist to know that you can't manipulate too many variables at one time and expect to discover your problem area. I've spent over two hours on one modem firmware, changing a single entry in the APN and then using CWM to clear Dalvik cache. Then i'd send texts back and forth to my S3 from various phones to check functionality. And I've done it all multiple times to make sure there isn't any variability. Spoiler Alert: there still is.

Sooooo i'm super convinced that incorrect APN settings (but still important and should be checked) are not everyone's problem. It is more.

QUESTION!!!! Someone on this thread made the claim that injecting a root into a ROM is enough to cause MMS etc issues. I'm interested. Substantiate your claim, please! I am so fed up with random reboots and crappy MMS and non-functioning bluetooth (read: JB bluetooth is confirmed broken, mbc663 :p) that i'd stick with an unrooted S3 and put up with junky battery life if I could guarantee full functionality. I've enjoyed experimenting, but it's coming to a head... my flash counter is at 10.

My Bluetooth has been working fine as of late.

As far as the mms goes, I'm on at&t so I can't really relate. Have you taken notice which band you are on when the problem occurs? My mms seems to work much better when on hspa compared to umts and lte. I encounter these delays as well, but it seems to happen when I'm in a weak signal area (anywhere in my apartment). I usually have my phone on gsm only since I'm constantly around wifi. Probably another reason why my battery far succeeds others.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] davethebossman:
As far as I could tell, the delays in MMS have varied between modem firmwares even though the signal bands and signal strengths seemed the same (half the firmwares spent their time in HSPA 11 and half of the firmwares in LTE 14....???). Perhaps my issues are due to my phone ROM (or ROMs.... 7 out of 8 have given me issues) rather than the radio. I HATE this; i'm trying to help people diagnose modem firmwares, but all along it could just as easily be a bad SIM or a bad ROM. Science!!!!!!

BUT this isn't to say I won't be continually screwing around with modem firmwares. Last night i went back to total stock ICS, and I tried some unrooted SMS/MMS before I rooted the phone... didn't seeeeeeeem to notice a change. Right now i'm on Stock, rooted with MVLLH1 modem. If my battery lasts an entire day with current setup, i'm gonna say eff this to modded ROMs for now. My wife's phone is hurting pretty bad from Paranoid Android 3.0 (such a pretty ROM, but SO. MANY. REBOOTS.) so i'm gonna bring her back to Stock ICS and go through the modem firmwares on her phone.

Maybe i'll just post "phone status" for each of the modems. I'm close to a cell tower (albeit a busy one) so i'll stand outside and try for some pseudo-standardized readings. Maybe that'll help someone

Good luck, all.

Hey there, dstruct2k;

I re-read my latest post and I said to you "not enough standardization when posting threads". That's not what I meant. I meant "not enough standardization when posting posts". Sorry if i confused you, i didn't mean to make a hack at you or any of the stuff you've been doing in this thread; you've got a very organized and helpful OP. If anything, I continually want to remind people that threads with 100 pages are useless; this includes my own banter-ous posts! I guess maaaaaaaybe you could consider one thing about that: You could start using reserved posts to have transcripts of "useful posts by members". That saves people parsing through a million posts.

And don't worry, you didn't sound rude in your reply. Personally, I think i'd be stressed living in Winnipeg and having the constant looming threat of being stabbed or murdered ;) It's a wonder you're even able to manage this thread while watching your back 24/7. Go Winnipeg!

Anyways, my reason for using GoSMS is

only

because I hate viewing MMS pics the size of a button, whether in the thumbnail or the [stupid] stock app's picture viewer. In comparison, you can simply click on the thumbnail in GoSMS and the resultant viewing screen is an edge-to-edge picture. ****DOES ANYBODY HAVE A HACK TO MAKE THE STOCK MSG APP VIEW MMS PICTURES IN FULL SCREEN?**** Also, a nice feature of GoSMS was the ability to send files, send uncompressed pictures (me likey alot), and edit/doodle on pictures. Is there any substitute that accomplishes one or two of those things?

Now i'll change gears, here. Potentially useful sentences to follow.

Like i stated, i'm on Telus in Edmonton and my GS3 is running Stock, rooted 4.0.4 with the MVLLH1 modem (it's actually a Bell firmware but I don't think it matters). I decided to install Stock, rooted 4.1.1 on my wife's GS3 (Telus firmware, Telus is carrier, Edmonton) and she's running the MVLDLK4 modem. With very non-scientific measuring, my default 3G connection on MVLLH1 is HSPA 11, whereas my wife's default on MVLDLK4 is UMTS 3... and she seems to get better gain inside our condo by nearly 10dB most of the time. However, outside in the fresh air, both the MVLLH1 and MVLDLK4 modems get LTE 14 for their 4G coverage... I can't really say which had better gain outside... maaaaaaybe MVLLH1 by 5dB?

I'm gonna put MVLDLK4 on my phone to see if anything is better or worse between my 4.0.4 and her 4.1.1. Also keep in mind we've both got Stock kernels and so her more-recent kernel might be contributing to her modem functionality.

Re: [MODEM] Complete Modem List for both I747U & I747M

Hey all! I've skimmed through the last few days of posts (wow is there ever a wealth of info lol) and I figured I'd follow up on am earlier issue I was experiencing following a modem flash.

I'd basically lost the ability to send or receive MMS. (Sound familiar? Lol)I tried everything under the sun to reestablish it, from double and triple checking APNs and flashing alternative modems to restoring nands of old ROMs to flashing new ROMs from scratch (including stock based ROMs, CM10, etc).... Nothing would stick!

I finally switched to Axis and after fudging around with getting APNs to stick, there was a suggestion to flash the AT&T LTE Fix from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39522030.

I cannot explain why or how, but this tiny little zip file was a miracle for me! Not only did it settle my APN issue, it also fixed my MMS nightmares.

I'm not the most knowledgeable person here at XDA so I can't even begin to hypothesize the reason it would work, but for anyone else suffering with the same problem, I figure it might be worth it to put it out there.

Perhaps someone wiser than me could pull apart the zip and figure out the secret to my success! Lol

Anyways, Happy Easter, and Happy Flashing!
