hi. I have a samsung galaxy s2 i9100 (for now 3 and half years)

i am in the uk with 3 network



for some time i have been experiencing loss of network all of a sudden thoughout the day
specially if i tether my phone via wireless

i have changed its software (rom and modem) and I am still experiencing this loss of network

in order to get network again I must reboot the phone, it is the only way of getting it back working




I travel a lot to Portugal and take the phone but I do not seem to have experienced this there
tough i dont tether there nor i use the connection for data



currently i am using a slim rom 4.2.2 build 8 official

the baseband is i9100xxLs9


any toughts about what is happening? do you think the phone is to blame? software? hardware? sim card?

Modem is what the culprit.

Change to other modem and see

Hi! Thanks for the reply!

I already tried that. I reflashed and put a new modem aswell.

It improved the simptoms but they still persist

Any specific modem that you think i should try?

Some times my phone freaks out and just gets corrupt and i have to reflash
Do you think it might be going to die? Maybe replace it?

Best regards

Put it on gsm mode which is also called 2g mode.
Monitor it if you still loose signal.
If so, then i would recommend you do a clean wipe, use any rom wipe script available and then install your rom back
