[SGS3-R530M] Modem Repository

you dont have to, you can be on any modem that you want. sometimes there is a noticable difference, sometimes there isnt its up to you to test

Well yes but he ask if he wanted to be be on the j3 if he had to flash it

Yea for me lj1 seems a little mi better... I'm normally at about 6 down and up but on lj3 it will jump all the way to 10 and end up at like 3 or 3.5 down and up will start at about 1.5 and end up at 6.5 lol


Different results for different people doesn't hurt to try takes a couple of mins...

 

[jtw1216]

lj3 gives me a lil faster web. Regular phone calls has no difference. & when I go into the tunnel on my commute, I have to reboot to get the signal back lol.

 

[kungfu411]

This is weird, when i try to update to lj3 it says failed. Worked fine before??

 

[mannyfbaby]

it boosted my signal wow great work

 

[mannyfbaby]

i went from no bars teh four bars lml

Bump... To the top... Good Stuff Fellas... Updated firmware is in OP

Tried all 5, with speed tests and noting signal strength on each one before finding the one my phone/area works best with... MAN what a huge difference! I had no idea how much difference a different modem would make on a given ROM. Should really help battery life too.

Shabby - once again, YOU DA MAN! After all the work you've done for us, you deserve a Kegger! (will Mom allow alcohol and loud music in her basement?)


Seriously - great work bro!

glad to hear it man, and yea better signal means better battery, if you have a lower signal like -90 then your device will be searching for other towers hoping to get connected to a better connection, which means draining via teh radio and wasting cpu cycles.

do you have to be stock everytime for the new updated modems

 

[n4zty]

do you have to be stock everytime for the new updated modems

no has nothing to do with what rom your using this is seperate from what rom/firmware your using. that means u can be on any aosp rom and have this modem.

I flashed the new metropolis rom and it didn't change my modem had to flash the new one from here. Is that normal?

yes, you dont include new modems in roms, its asking for trouble. imagine if you flashed an att rom with a gsm radio?

this way it allows you to flash whatever radio you wnat and whatever rom you want

 

[Trueno22]

gotcha. man we got poor signal here in kissimmee tried the last three mdms and all three had be tween -92 and -100 the latest modem did get me 6mbps though.

it varys. you may have had your LTE signal which is scaled differently. cdma signal however is -50 you are underneath the tower, and -110 you cant even make jokes about "can you hear me now"

6mbps is decent speed so i imagine you have decent signal just saw the LTE numbers instead, obviously its still negative so the "lower" number is better, but idk what is acceptable numbers for it yet

 

[Zolo185]

Anyone know which one works best in miami ?

 

[apeiiron]

Just got 5/5 while streaming Pandora. Not bad lol

 

[ironlung]

Thanks shabby, newest modem doubled my speeds. Thank you for working so hard for us.

i would also try a signal booster on the playmarket to go along with trying a new modem out. what that does is refresh your radio and searchers for the nearest tower possible giving you the best latency possible and in return more signal bars and perhaps faster lte speeds but i suppose everyone is testing from home keep in mind just beacause your signal might great at home wont mean it will be great everywhere ya know how metro is. also some areas might be better than home so ya just gotta play with modems and see which is best for you and it might not be the latest MB2 could be a previous version.

Ed Zachery... with mine (at home), LL1 worked best. Gotta try'em all and find the best one for a given area.

I'll keep all of them on my external... just in case I'm stuck out somewhere overnight with a crappy signal - that way I'll have some options to work with that may help.
These are very handy to have on the SD.

yea i was gonna suggest that but to some that might be a bother haha i mean to boot into recovery and then flash the zip then reboot lol but hey most of us techies in here dont mind experimenting. im also thinking of flashing our original prl back on my phone with the new modem just to see how it functions.

My apologies if it is posted elsewhere but out of pure curiosity I'd like to know your results

not much i will admit battery dont last as long but i havn't experimented to see if its the modem/raidio thats draining my battery or something else with the firmware itself. i have noticed a few more process running the back ground so debloating would be something ill look into. as far my 4g speeds ever since prl 2032 was pushed back im averaged at 4 mbps hasn't gone lower than maybe 3.5 so thats cool. highest? 7 mbps like 20 min from home.
