Latest i9100 modems

Well done Shottie! :)

Better late than never.

You go and treat yourself to an extra helping of dessert for that. ;)

Seems OK... of course, there's only one real way for me to test it!
 
Some of us have jobs to go to in the morning so have to sleep.
Edit: It appears that lpq is the official ics release so it shouldn't be long until we get some stable custom roms.
 
"Q"? That's ridiculous! I've only just flashed "J". What happened to K-P???

Your definitely slacking Shotty. Go to the back of the class and put on the dunces hat.

Edit:
Its saying file is deleted mate. Your position as modem maesto has been restored, at least for the time being Shotty! :D

Edit2: Ninja'd.
Just seen your working link butty. Normal service has been restored from the Shotmeister!

:D:D:D At the moment, with the Cheltenham Gold Cup on, half the population of Ireland is in every pub and bar for miles around and with one single aim... drink the Cotswolds dry! :eek:

On a serious note, just for a change, if you want to test your modem's performance against a previous version, then install something like Network Signal Info, free, from the Play Shop, this will also show you the location of the mobile mast/cell tower, you are connected to:-

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImRlLmFuZHJvaWQudGVsbmV0Il0.

You can also get your dBM and ASU from...

Settings > About phone > Status > Signal strength

Try and take your readings at roughly the same time of day as signal strength can vary depending on overall network usage.

Try to take your readings in the same places. I do one indoors at my desk, one outdoors and one, reluctantly, at a local pub with a notoriously bad signal history.

The three factors that affect your signal strength are dBM, ASU and percent.

dBm is always measured as, "-". The lower the dBm the stronger the signal.

ASU, Active Set Update/Arbitrary Scale Unit/Android Signal Unit, whatever it's called... the higher the better.

Percent, again, the higher the better.

Contrary to popular belief, the modem does not affect your Wi-Fi signal, that is handled by the kernel.

For more details on mobile phone signals, see here:-

Do not try and compare the signal strength bars on your SGSII with other makes of phones as the signal bars and the strength they measure are not industry standardised and completely arbitrary.

So I gues I'm fired? Honestly, the link used to work!!

:D:D:D

Sorry Sword Fish, I think Shottie has already used that excuse before!

It's right up there with...

Of course I love you.

The cheque's in the post.

and... I promise not to co.... (well, you know that one I guess ;) )

Early indications are that it really isn't any different to LPJ and, "maybe", a -dBm and ASU or two better than LPH.

Well it was a crappy job anyways. I don't know how you do it Shottie, the abuse that comes with the position is too much for me! I therefore relinquish any responsibilitiy that I thought I might have had back to you!
 
I've tried the Network Signal Info and it tells me there is an error on samsung phones that causes the reading to be positive 85(it doesn't change at all), which i seem to be suffering with, is there an alternative to this app that i can use?
 
It gives a positive 85dBm value sometimes instead of a -85 dBm value.

My Network Info is not, "stuck", at 85 dBm.

See posts #55, #61, #64, #87.
 
SC20120313-204009.png


mine is literally stuck on 85, the only time it goes up is when the ASU changes, does that mean that it is constantly -85? or is this an error? I noticed in most of yours its stable, but in post #61 it is up and down. so wasnt sure which is normal / working

i just noticed the screen capture toast covering part of the picture, oops.
 
The higher the ASU the better. As ASU increases so does dBm (the -ve number gets smaller)

Mine fluctuates up+down according to signal
Its strange as on your screenshot you are on 20 ASU.

ASU/dBm is calculated by the formula: dBm= -113+(2*ASU)
so 20ASU = -73 dBm

So its very odd that you are on +85.
 
As Hawker says, that does seem odd, DeadBeginning!

I do not know of another app similar to Network signal Info.

However you can obtain a report via...

Settings > About phone > Status > Signal strength... this will give you dBm and ASU.

(Looking at your screenie, I would say that your dBm should be reading -65 or -67 dBm... stonking! :D )

Settings > About phone > Status > Signal strength... i got a reading of -103 dBm 5 ASU... can i have my false reading back? :( lol

Try app called Open Signal Maps ;) it is similiar + offers some more info...

strangely that doesnt appear to work either, i get an error saying it cant locate my cell tower(although it gives me a speedtest on my carriers connection) it says it may not be added to the database. i get a similar error when locating the tower on Network Signal Info too
