Been using lq6 modem for last week because always been best one for me for not dropping calls and great internet speed.
Thought I would test xxls6 modem out of curiosity and sitting in a garage with 2 bar signal (H) I'm getting 5+ MBS download
hope signal stays strong and do t drop calls with this modem

Personal choice. EC05 is still molst people's choice. EE03 is another popular choice. I have tried them all and found the best speeds on EE03 and EH17. You have to try them for yourself and test for your unique phone and area.

I've found that EH17 has worked best for me; indoors 8/8 lock and GPS 2.6m accuracy. I can even connect to 4G; which I haven't been able to do since EB13 modem and finally cell strength has improved by a bar.
As with anything .. YMMV
I am using EG22 currently, the only problem is with the cell strength indicator. I am thinking about trying EH17.

See, this is what I don't understand. I have repeatedly been told that modem has no effect on 4G. Can anyone definitavely tell me if this is true or not please? Does the modem change signal strength? Does it effect 4G,Wifi?

It definitely has an effect on your 4g. Try flashing a modem in odin, and pull the cable. Thatll screw up ur baseband (modem). WiFi will work, 4g won't (or a 3g or SMS or calls). WiFi is a module in the rom (or kernel) if I remember right.

Well, when people run Speedtest and post results I feel its necessary to run it at least 15 or 20 times and average it out. I am still using EC05 modem and I average 5-6Mbps download speeds but I get bursts on some runs of 8+Mbps. I know that I personally haven't seen any marked improvement in average speed or signal strength myself. I like EC05 and EE03 the best because GPS works the best for me on those

Check your 4g modem version in wimax info in the wimax dm screen. It doesn't always match nor is it upgraded with every modem upgrade.
Back on DK28, yep, no joke.
Went from ec05 to eh17. Noticeable increase in speeds and signal for me....used to get max 300k downloads in speedtest...now I can get max a meg or so. Haven't tested it all over but it seems faster all around.
Gps does seem a little....slower maybe? I can still get good locks on 7 or more and it is usually very quick....but sometimes it seems to take a little longer then it used to on ec05. Just my opinion.

So I bought this phone about a week ago, and have noticed something rather odd...the signal is never locked, it is either emergency calls only or mobile network not available or it does work...but when it does work it lasts for like 3 minutes... I live in Honduras and don't know what the issue might be.. I used to have a captivate and had the best signal one can ask for...any help?

Try flashing a different modem. Check siky_dudes thread in dev section.

It'll not help to flash another rom or modem! I had the same problem, tried almost every modem/rom but couldn't solve it. I think one out of 100000 i9000's has signal problems.
I don't recommend to do this;
I used to solve it by plugging in an isolated copper wire into the coaxial input on the back of the device. Here's a link to the thread I started with two videos.

Dude, give that thing back if you can!! Nothing will help! You can do whatever you want, but you'll never achive more than 7-15% more signal and that's nothing relevant!!

First of all you should determine what might have caused the error.
Signal problems can be caused by hardware, software or network provider:
- If the problem occurred after a software update (which is usually change the modem driver) You should flash back the old modem
- If you didn't update or change firmware or the modem it can be a hardware issue (dropped phone, water damage etc.) If you don't experience hw you wouldn't disassemble.Give it to someone who has experience in this topic.
- Sometimes signal problem can be cause by the network provider (network error or upgrade) It is usually temporary problem you have to wait and get good signal few hours/days later.
I hope I helped in the first step to get to the final solution.
Hello everyone.
I just wanted to talk about an issue that I've see on a bunch of Canadian S3 running cyanogenmod 10 d2att
LTE does not work. Only 4G. I read somewhere that it was an issue tied to not having an LTE icon; however that was not the case. On stock ROM I get LTE speeds around 18-24 Mbps while on cyanogenmod I only see the 4G icon and can get speeds up to 12 Mbps. How can I get LTE speed on my device?
Another issue is the Bluetooth audio. Sometimes it works in my car sometimes it doesn't. I have to turn on and off the Bluetooth in order for my car to pock it up. Also this was tried on multiple decks and same issue arises.
I hope this was posted in the right place
Thanks.

Hello I have been having an issue where when connected to wifi and on gsm/Lte in the testing menu the gsm Signal drops to no bars and I'm emergency calls only. When I change to wcdma preferred it's okay. When wifi is off its also okay. I have not changed anything for months apart from dling the latest Franco kernel nightlies. I'm on Rogers from Canada. I don't think it's a network thing since when wifi is off I get Lte

You're not alone. Alot of other users here have signal problems.

Probably a kernel issue. Find a version that works and stick with it instead of doing the nightlies (which are prone to have things break).
It's not the kernel, I put the stock one back on and the same issue. It's been rainy here the past couple days, I wonder if that plays in.

Maybe something to do with how you setup LTE since the phones really not meant to have it. Maybe a good place to look is in the thread specifically for LTE in the General Section, its pinned to the top of the section.

If you have not updated your PRL and Profile yet from the house then should go ahead and do that. What modem/firmware are you on? MDC or MDL?
Also, just keep in mind that the signal bars on a lot of devices are not entirely accurate. I had an S3 before getting the S4 and my reception has been about the same but I didn't have both phones at one time to sit together and compare signal bars.
You need to find out the dBm strength to really know how strong the signal is and not go off the signal bars. Try using this on both phones: Network Signal Info and then compare.
I am mdl, I.also installed the program u recommend, and it's sayin -79. But my data is slow.. I have a airwave in my house from Sprint, could that be what's messing with my service??
