LS8 review

Modem Name: LS8

Provider: Vodafone

Region: Mumbai-Malad West

3G Speeds: Screen shot attached

ROM details: Was on Carbon 1.5 beta and also tried with Rootbox

Modem Feedback:

Tried different ROMs with this Modem but the phone would still get very hot. Would get very bad reception in my house (which normally has good reception) and calls would drop within minutes of being on the phone. 3g speeds were abysmal too. Check screenshot.

Edit:

Tried it with Chameleon ROM 3.0.1 which is LS8 based and the results werent that bad .. reception wasnt an issue at all and also got decent 3g speeds .. but there was l2_hsic wakelock

So shows that its modem issue.
[Galaxy S II General] Prashanthme:
Initially on GB and ICS i had KI4.. Was best for battery life and device never heated much on it...

Later on JB changed to XXLS6.. Battery life ok ok. But signal reception s too good. Switching bw 2G and 3G s more time consuming. ~3-5 min..
[Galaxy S II General] schizovivek:
im currently testing LS6 out .. from what I can gather I'm getting pretty decent battery life .. Will post my findings by tomorrow mostly
[Galaxy S II General] vishal11in:
Would also like to ask here a question, dont know if its related or not.

Does modem plays any role in sound loudness from the earpiece.

I have many time experienced that change of rom, kernel affect this.

I recently moved to alliance rom and after flash noticed the earpiece volume got loud by 50%, wow was very happy. But day before had some issue so had to format the rom and now it has gone low.

So was thinking what controls this issue and how can we tackle this
[Galaxy S II General] inimaitimepass:
I was using Stock ICS modem intially after installing cm10.1, but later switched to LQ6. Battery life was too good so as 2g data speeds. Call quality was also good.

But after cm merged sammy JB kernel binaries, I'm getting poor battery life. So switched to LS8 and monitoring the progress. Will update accordingly.
[Galaxy S II General] schizovivek:
modem has nothing to do with sound quality ... on an S2 if u stick with sammy roms u'll get amazing sound quality ..

the sound quality decreases a little when on aosp/aokp roms (but they offer tons of features that make it kinda worth it)

Hey guys, my modem is LPS and at home signal reception is very poor, outdoor its good. So I want to try LP6. Currently i am on RootBox 3.8.

Is LS6 compatible with my rom?
[Galaxy S II General] schizovivek:
if u want stock what u can do is update via KIES .. that way ur baseband will be updated to an indian modem ... in the meanwhile try LS6 ..

also there is another Indian modem available DDLPA .. give it a try .. its an Indian modem (DD => India)

Also battery life is very much dependent on kernel too ... once u have a good modem make sure u have a good kernel too (rootbox stock should do)

ill try to find more details on the modem u asked ... but try these for the time being .. and give the modem a day or two to settle once u flash it .. (although it should not heat up ur phone too much)

Edit:

download from here if KIES doesnt work:

[Galaxy S II General] aayushjoshi:
Thanks will try it out. Also can you pls share the DDS9 modem as the one i downloaded screws up the phone post installation and phone stops receiving any signals. Also i fixed the installation issue by updating the update script inside the archive.

Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback. I'm from Thane too and want to make the switch to DDLS9. Can you please give me a link to CWM flashable zip? (CWM 6.0.4.7 - Android 4.4.2)

Do share if you used any other method to install this modem.

DDLS9

Modem: DDLS9

Provider: Reliance

Region: Mumbai (Thane)

Rom: Linaro/Sabermod CM11 with Gustavo_s's kernel

Speeds: Screenies attached!

Modem Feedback: This is my initial feedback, I'll update this post if I face heating or any other issues. The differences are pretty clear though. I was on XXMS4 for a long long time. Reception slash connectivity is damn good (much better) on DDLS9 compared to XXMS4. I have full signal in places where signal would drop down to 1 bar at times on XXMS4, call quality is good too on DDLS9 (suffered from dropped calls on XXMS4).

:fingers-crossed: no heating issues :fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy S II General] reddead66:
I am quite ignorant about modems, do they affect battery life also ? I have never faced any issues in connectivity and I dont use 3g.

And how do you guys check which one is right?

I am using neatrom and the default modem which comes with it...
[Galaxy S II General] schizovivek:
voaw.. those are amazing speeds man !!
[Galaxy S II General] Shahan_mik3:
How is xwms3?
[Galaxy S II General] schizovivek:
there is no right one for everyone.. you need to check and test for where you live.. different modems work in different ways.. check the post 2 for region wise modems that have been given thumbs up...

as for the battery life.. if does affect it a lot .. but for that you need to check the wakelocks (l2_hsic) i think.. not used s2 in ages so not sure... read through this forum to find out more about the wakelock..

hopefully you know about BBS and can do you own checks

[Galaxy S II General] schizovivek:
hows ur battery life been?
[Galaxy S II General] banjara:
first thing.. my s2 is 2.4 years old.

2nd.. battery life for me depends more on the rom i use.. with beanstalk i have seen 42 hours of battery life with normal usage. right now i am on cyanfox rom and i have pulled 36 hours once with routine usage. I usually get more than 24 hours with heavy use.
[Galaxy S II General] schizovivek:
id love to see your bbs log to see how you pull it off.. i could get a max of 18+ hours with medium to almost heavy usage on my S2 .. looks like u dont suffer from the wakelock with your modem..
[Galaxy S II General] banjara:
i tried BBS once but there is some problem with KK Roms and we require xposed. Tried xposed too but then it was giving all sort of errors so i dont think i will be able to share BBS stats here.

I saw that different ROMs handle battery in different ways, like when i was on beanstalk the battery will initially drop normally but after 50% or so, it will go on for more than a day. In Cyanfox, its vice versa.
[Galaxy S II General] schizovivek:
maybe you could share your current config.. might end up helping someone :good:
[Galaxy S II General] dkimmortal:
Tested deep sleep of modem LS8, MS4 and DDLS9 and they are pretty much the same in terms of battery drainage.

Tested on Docomo Network, Bangalore. Same configuration for all, with NeatRom 6.3 extra lite
[Galaxy S II General] schizovivek:
most of the stats seem to be idle stats.. hows the battery life in proper usage... with 3g on

and maybe you could share along with this which gave you the best 3g speeds

I9100T modem for india

Hi,

I have a I9100T from Australia which was on Telstra network. I have gotten this to India and currently on the Airtel network. I have I9100T specific modem (DVLS3). My question is the following.

Can I use it as is in India or is it advisable to change the modem to be India specific. It has been working fine till now. The place where i am living has some places where i have very poor signal. Will this get better if I change to India specific modem.

I am on Omnirom and have Gustavo kernel. There has been some murmurs in the thread about baseband problems. I need to verify the same, if it is kernel specific. Anyways inputs from all you people would be very helpful so that I can get the best possible out of my phone and connection. I will be around here for some period to come and hence this query. Thanks in advance for all the help. Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] schizovivek:
use bbs to see if you're facing any baseband drain .. if not i dont think you have much to worry about

also check to see if others are getting better reception where you arent (same service provider).. if so only then look into a different modem..

otherwise there is no need to do anything

just for the sake of it you could flash one of the modems to see the difference (it'd take about 2 days to really settle though)
