I had bad experience with nelp2.. So far, dxlpa, xxlq6 and xxls8 work well for me.. Using m1 and also fast dormancy is forced off as far as I know sg network don't support fast dormancy, and it saves battery life and better connection..

@infatality, I have turned off fast dormancy as well. I earlier used DXLPA since its the South East Asia modem. It was decent .. Tried anything else in DX series? Once they rollout JB to Singapore, we should get a new DX modem I guess.

I'm using BVLP7 with starhub and is working wonderfully the past 20 days with jelly bean.

Yep, we should get a new modem when jb roll out in Asia, as every new with every official firmware and I tried dxlp9 but results wasn't as decent as dxlpa..

@infatality actually, not every modem works fine for everyone.. its more carrier dependent.. NELP2 used to be awesome modem for Singtel but not for M1..

Actually just leave it as *wcdma preferred* will be good.. H+ or 3g don't really make a difference in better life.. But using long term 3g instead of h+ will use more battery then normal.. I'm have about 3 1/2 on screen time..

Yep.. may be carrier dependent too.. As far as I know Singtel and m1 is on the same bandwidth spectrum, starhub isn't.. One way or another maybe..

Just out of curiosity since you live in the Uk and I do too, which modem would you recommend for O2?

And if by any chance I'm not allowed to ask such questions, please ignore it and don't reply.

Thanks

Also just in case:

I am from the uk and use Giffgaff, this network uses o2 signal, and i use the modem and ril for UHLPH and have found it to be the best out of many combinations i have tried.

Edit: i tried the LBR o2 uk modem and had 0/1bar of h+ at my house, and with UHLPH it is around 3/4bars if im using the internet

How's about sharing download links that don't demand you install a download manager (read: virus) to get the file? We appreciate the work you've done in compiling the list and uploading the files, but we shouldn't have to pay for surveys, sign up for other sites or install malware and spyware into our PC's just to update our phones. This is a forum where like-minded people come for help, or provide assistance to those who aren't quite able to get a grasp on a problem they're having. It is NOT a money-making scheme for ripoff merchants to ply their trade...

    DC---> Thailand

    ZT---> Taiwan

    Which Modem comes with which various Stock firmwares can be found out here:
    http://devsrom4android.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-s2-firmware-updates-via.html


    RECOMMENDED MODEMS TO TRY:

    KH3
    XXKI4
    NELP2
    NELP3
    NELP4
    XXLPX
    DXLP9
    DXLPA
    BVLP7 (tested by many, deemed to be a fantastic modem)


    DEFINITION:

    *Modem/Radio/Baseband is all the same thing and can be seen by going to Settings - About Phone - Baseband. It's basically a driver which receives and sends Mobile Network signals as well as handling switching between GPRS, 3G, HSDPA etc....... (but not WiFi connection, that and switchover between Mobile Network and WiFi is handled by the kernel). Reasoning as to why Modem has no influence on WiFi can be found in this post by Entropy - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28052552&postcount=6556


    USAGE:

    *There is no one "Best" modem for everybody. Unfortunately you actually have to try to find the modem which works perfectly for you on performance, strength and battery drain levels. The good thing is that from my lengthy 8 month experience with Galaxy S2, I'm happy to report that there are a few modems that seem to perform well geographically for most users. These modems are KE7, KH3, KI3, KI4, KL1, LPS, NEKF2, NELP2 & NELP3.


    COMPATIBILITY:

    *Modems do not need to be matched up with firmware like it's done with ROMs and Kernels. For example, a KI4 modem can be used with a KL1 ROM and the other way round. The only thing you need to pay attention to is what model your SGS2 is. 9100 and 9100 modems are compatible across both models. However, 9100 model and US variants are not cross compatible since the devices are designed to work on different bands.


    INSTALLATION:

    *I will add a flashing guide to post number 5 soon, hence why it says "Work in progress.....". For the moment I suggest asking Mr. Google to do a search for you. Bottom line is, for CWM packaged modems you need to be rooted and have a working CWM recovery (flash the CWM modem zip within recovery). For .TAR packages, all you need to do is flash it while your device is in Download Mode and connected to ODIN. The .TAR file should be selected in the PHONE field. Don't touch anything else.


    TESTING:

    *Usually just flashing and then using the same modem for 3-5 days should tell you how well it performs in your are and with you Mobile Network operator. Please remember that it takes around 2-3 days for a Modem to "settle" and achieve optimum performance, so don't judge how good a Modem is straight after flashing. That's where a lot of people fail when asserting battery drain.

    Signal strength and quality can be tested using this app:
    Network Signal Info

    Download and upload speeds on your network with a current Modem can be tested using this app:
    Speedtest.net


    RESULTS:

    Testing done by 3ayachi (Tunisia)
