Modem update - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I just updated to the latest modem firmware available for my phone and, maybe it's just me, I get way better signal at my home! I normally wasn't getting more than 2bars (if I had signal), and now I can reach 3 bars!
I just recently found out about modem.. shouldn't it be more visible?

While searching for ROMs or kernels I've never come across modem firmware.. I learnt about it in battery problems threads. Is there any general optimization post listing all updates like modem, rom, etc..?

Modem pulled from the Samsung Blaze4G.
Not hard to install at all, just download and flash in recovery
Download: LB7 or click Here
Gingerbread Only
-Tmobile based Gingerbread ROMs
Download: LB7 or click Here
IceCreamSandwhich Only
-When a Tmobile base comes out, dont flash this.
-I will have to update the proper RILs for it
My Results:
-My Data has increased by about 4Mbps, which is a + in my case
-Dont ask me for screenshots
-Tested after removing my build.prop and init.d data tweaks for true results.
-Speeds will vary depending on your location.
Just Hit the thanks button...
It will save a lot of you from getting infractions/warnings

Blaze has higher speeds. You can have them translate to our device
M&s have you notice something diferent better signal or datta??????

I was sitting here trying out the different modems as this was posted.
Does anything in the mobile networks need changed after flash? Or basically just flash and profit?

it does? i thought they both had the same HSPA+ 42mbps radios in them. reviews haven't shown any differences between the two either, in fact the first one i pulled up showed faster GS2 speeds than Blaze. I will try and see for myself I guess.
I can't download it. It just gives me a bin file

They both do have the same speeds.. to each its own though different radios work in different areas. I'm still pulling 20mbps on whatever the hell att radio is on the skyrocket leak
sent from my Real Gs move in silence like Lasagna

Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App
Will i still be able to use this radio even if i am in Australia
How long should this take to install? My phone has been stuck on a black screen that says Samsung for about 10 minutes? I am running the Skyrocket ICS port would that have anything to do with it?
M&S...
Say I'm running your ROM, do I need to remove what you removed from your device before flashing to get optimal performance?
I'm not dangerous... RACISM is.

LG8 update 3G speed increase !

The new sprint update has made my 3G a little faster ! I was getting like 0.23mbps down and 0.10 mbps up. I ran a speed test after I updated and check it out ! Almost 2mbps down woo! lol I'm used to AT&T speeds but I switched to sprint because my job gets a 23% discount for us .

If you are rooted flash a custom rom that has it built in already such as Clarks Sonic Rom. I think Freeza also has instruction on how to upgrade if you are stock.

Thank you! I searched for Freeza update to LG8 and found the thread. Much appreciated!
Glad I could help.
Same here my speeds increased after the latest Sprint update. Though I noticed I'm on ehrpd instead of evdo now, might be coincidence, not sure. Didn't know they were upgrading the towers yet here in Central Connecticut.

There was a thread floating around . You just manually update it . You get file and put on ext SD card and boot into recovery and apply update .YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE ROOTED.

I'm not able to run this rom as I'm on vacation and need my phone but what I can tell you is there are some new added tmo apps and at least 75% of the apps and firmware has been updated. Build date was July 4th so its been out a while but only on updated phones and not released by Samsung
I would also suggest upgrading the modem also posted in another thread.
Please use TWRP as I have had not one issue using his recovery and seen to many ppl having problems using cwm...
Yes sir. I want to try your ics status bar mods im rockin them right now want to see if they work with this update. Where can i find link?

Download Goo Manager from the Play Store you can install it from the app...
Were you using 5.0.0.4 that is the only one I trust...
Not saying its bad but seen to many post of ppl have problems using it could be user errors too..
Really appreciate the help friend keep up the good work!

NVM. I didnt realize you answered this already...might give it a whirl. One thing I'm hoping for is that the threshold from 4g to Edge has changed. As it stands now my phone goes to edge a lot when I hold the phone with my left hand. Usually when my dbm is around 95+ with 8 asu. dbm skyrockets to 113 quickly and goes to edge and stays there until I either put the phone down or flip it upside down so the WAN antennas arent covered.

The one in this parent forums sub forum, try launchers like nova, apex, go, hold the phone differently or move your router or use 2.4ghz not 5g if that applies to you, I've heard wifi fixer helps.

T999 roms should work. Just have a nandroid handy and don't flash any of the Tmobile modems.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
All the T-Mobile roms work on the T999v (I have a t999v on Wind). This includes AOSP roms, TouchWiz and the JellyBean leaks. Same goes for kernels. As mentioned before, just don't touch any radios/modems as they will not work.

Good battery life will be ROM dependent. The ICS roms based on touchwiz should have similar battery life. I also have decent battery life on the AOSP Jellybean roms. The Jellybean touchwiz leaks are a bit more touchy. Some users report lower battery life on some ROMs though it has been improving gradually

That's ypur baseband/modem. It will remain the same when you flash roms. No rom should affect the modem in any way (as far as flashing is concerned).
So yes you can freely flash roms. But do not flash any modems not intended for your model phone!

Exactly. They are on different partitions. When you flash a rom the baseband will remain the same.
The only time this matters is when you are flashing an ota patch. Then you must be full stock, modem and all.

AOSP camera has less features than the touchwiz camera but it's not like you're physically changing the camera itself, so the quality should be the same.

How can I make my mobile internet faster? Very poor performance just now.

I'm on revolution HD 19 which is great so far but the mobile internet I'm getting is very slow. This is my second ROM I've had since rooting with similar performance.
I'm with talktalk (runs on the UK vodafone network). My girlfriend is with the same network but gets much much better performance on her nexus 4. My apn settings are correct.
Is it a case of downloading a different modem?
Thanks.
Yes mate. Just flash a new modem. It's easy. Try a couple if your speeds don't improve.
I had real poor signal when I flashed my custom rom but flashed a new modern and hey presto.
Good luck

From that thread I was able to do a speed test using speedtest,net app. I'm getting
PING 437ms
DOWNLOAD 56kbps
UPLOAD 23kbps
I'm sure thats pretty poor. I'll try some of them modems see if I can get it working better. XX or XW seem to be the UK ones so I'll start with them.
My Baseband version right now is DDDMG1
Make sure you have set your network mode to auto, and not gsm only. Quick to overlook.
