Do you experience poor 3G Internet connection speed, very fast battery drain while on 3G and poor call reception on your Samsung Galaxy Note II? Maybe your current custom ROM’s modem (radio or baseband) does not suite your telco. For most people, you don’t need to change Samsung Galaxy Note 2 modem unless you have issue with it. And which one of the best one for me? Different region have different Galaxy Note 2 modem because carrier, frequency band, topography, location and distance from cell tower are not the same.

Personally, I don’t install custom modem on my Samsung Galaxy S III. I will stick with the modem (radio / baseband) that comes along with the firmware unless the modem is highly recommended by others. So have to install official custom modem on your Samsung Galaxy S3 manually. What is the benefit of using custom modem? Using the correct modem will give your Samsung Galaxy S3 better signal coverage, reception, speed and battery life. Choosing the correct modem take time. You need to benchmark the 3G speed, battery consumption, signal strength… Monitor its performance for days. So I don’t change modem much unless I found the one that I am using is bad.

Personally, I don’t install custom modem on my Samsung Galaxy S II. Usually, I will stick with the modem that comes along with the firmware.
