Gotta agree with modem LPH, very stable signal and good phone call quality... i played around with the older modems but this seems to be slightly better signal & wifi.

I only notice battery drain from switching kernels more so than modems..

I agree as well, and a very stable stable data connection too! :cool:
I have a Samsung 2000mAh battery, so drain is not an issue for me, I didn't notice anything different from my previous KI4

flashed lph, not sold yet, having trouble getting hspda around home now (Was using ki4) but will see how it goes tomorrow at work

I wonder if this will resolve my call echo :/

Driving me nuts, I want to keep a case on my phone but keeping it on no matter what case I use seems to make an echo for the other person calling me where they can hear themselves quite loudly through my phone

I've been dealing with this myself last week. I don't use a case at all, but the larger backcover of the Samsung 2000mAh battery caused the same problem for me.

Only solution that worked for me:
1) Flash stock Samsung ROM that had the ability to disable Noise Reduction while in a call - you would have to disable it manually on every single call
2) Flash CM9, which appearantly has NR disabled (CM7 has it enabled, with no way to disable)

I went with option 2) and no more echo! :D

Try to find a mod to turn off the noise cancelling mic, that should sort out the echo.

I agree with all the comments regarding LPH modem works well especially for data had a solid connection today and signal is fine as well. Seems a keeper for now.

to all people that keep posting since installing whatever modem that their wifi signal got better

LPH for me, no problems at all on my side. Still think KL1 is a better all round performer along with KI4 but sticking to LPH for a few more days to test.

whats a recommended modem for use on AT&T 850/1900? yes I'm using the international i9100...

and just so i'm clear if the radio/modem doesn't affect wifi, then what does? kernel?

Yeah, just like it says in the explanatory post on page 1. Kernel handles WiFi and switching between Mobile Network and WiFi. Modem itself handles switching between GPRS/3G/HSDPA/.

I've been using ki1 and as of recently lph. Lph is getting a better signal quality then ki1 according to my signal meter :what:

thanks. will try. also did you have to do the *#*#INFO#*#* and select USA band? I was noticing HORRENDOUS data speeds all today before I did it... like under 500kbps. Meanwhile my Nexus S did 3mbit fine. After I selected band on my SGS2, I was getting 5mbps down.

Is LPH usable in Gingerbread?

@Shumo:

I used them both but think LPH is using more battery
LPH is slightly better in signal so I guess this is the trade-off

    Modems guide

    MODEM GUIDE

    FILE NAMES:

    The name of the Modem usually specifies the region its intended for, however... this doesn't mean it will work best for you. Classification of the Modem regions is as follows:

    CE---> Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands
    DC---> Thailand
    DD---> India
    DX---> Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam
    DZ---> Malaysia, Singapore
    JA---> South Africa
    JC---> Algeria, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, Tunisia
    JP---> Arabic, Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria
    JV---> Tunisia, Turkey
    UG---> North America
    UH---> Latin America, The Caribbean
    XE---> Bulgaria, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine
    XX---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, United Kingdom
    XW---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Nordic, Spain, United Kingdom
    ZC---> China, Hong Kong
    ZH---> Hong Kong
    ZS---> China, Hong Kong
    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)
