i noticed people geting almost 1mb and im very intrigued! i rooted my slide with the remix rom, but my tethering get about 100-200kbs, is there a trick to how people get readings of 500kbs or more? is it a hack? something i can download?

Did you update radio/try other tether apps?
I alone normally average 2,500kbs to like 5,000kbs tethering on and off but like 2900kbs on average tetherig no trick to it... I would assume it is just based on your coverage.
I have full Bars, But man its still so slow, tmobile says they have great coverage here too, and I flashed "NewestSlideRadio.zip" i got from here 7.08.35.04S
Caliboy. Im Officially Jealous
I forgot what ROM and tether app I was using, but I remember a friend with an iPhone had no signal and was tethering off me at almost 2 megs a second

Quick question, hopefully i'm not being redundant at all
1. For EVO users who switched to Cyanogen, Do you miss 4g? I know they're working on it now, and it will be out soon, but I'm thinking of switching from my rooted stock rom to CM6.1.1 and that way I atleast have a nand of CM before the new version hits.
I AM in a 4g coverage area, and I usually get 5-9 Mbps with 4g and only around 1Mpbs with 3g.
2. Also, Why do so many people switch to Cyanogen? I use Launcherpro, and it's pretty snappy, and with root I have wireless tether, I'm running a theme, and you really can't even tell it's sense. Am I losing speed by having sense running in the background? I guess I'm just looking for someone to help me justify the move to CM, haha.
3. Also, Do i NEED to do a full wipe before installing rom? Or is it not absolutely necessary?
Thanks to any replies in advance!
CyanogenMOD (AOSP) is a completely different level of performance than any Sense-based ROM can offer. You can install LauncherPRO as your launcher in CM just for familiarity.
I do miss 4G with CM occasioncally, but it's not a dealbreaker. I'll go without 4G to stay with CM (which should come to an end hopefully very soon).
OOO thanks for the reply, Do I need to do a full wipe before installing?? Or is it okay if I don't?
No because my area doesn't have 4G yet. Maybe when I go out of town next week and am in a 4G coverage area I will, but I will flash the nightlies to see if it is implemented and if I really want to use it, I will flash a sense rom.

Yes, you need to do a full wipe: Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache. Also, you need to make sure you have downloaded and flash GApps, otherwise you'll have no market.
Nope, don't miss it at all, especially since we don't have 4G in San Diego yet, although I do travel to a lot of 4G cities for work. Also, 4G is now working on CM...it just hasn't been integrated into the nightlies yet because they are still smoothing out all the kinks.
Don't miss 4g, but like you I really don't see a real reason to have switched...I just like changing roms. I don't see much of a difference in performance between cm and fresh, BUT one thing I do like is that it has a much smaller footprint. I gained about 50mb by switching to cm.

you only have to download titanium backup from the market and run restore from there. I recommend the pro version though
won't have to miss it for much longer...already in the works
I know I can't wait!!!
CM has a lot of small tweaks that just make the experience better. Like the lockscreen gestures for example, or the notification bar power controls. Plus since its AOSP, tweaks and themes from other phones are far more likely to work, and things like changing your phone's lcd density look much better. And getting the latest android updates months before they're released by htc is pretty nice too.

No, because WiMax is now finished, and just getting polished right now. By the time the Gingerbread nightlies start rolling out, so will WiMax support.
I like CM but no 4G is a deal breaker. I use my Sling Box for sports and 3G + sling-box = sucks. I gotta have me some 4G.
I mostly use 4g just for browsing the internet and updating my Feedr...
So MOST of the time I don't need 4g, when I look at youtube, or somethign like that, it IS nice....
AHH I can't decide whether I want it or not! haha
What many people don't realize is that, while WiMAX (a.k.a. 4G) is often faster than 3G in file transfers, the high ping times, i.e. latency, are almost identical in most situations, so doing basic things on your phone won't have a major boost in speed on a WiMAX connection. If you were downloading a ROM from Clockwork or any other large transfer, 4G ideally would be significantly faster than 3G. Updating Twitbook or Facespace wouldn't have a big difference in speed unless you had a gawd awful 3G connection and for some reason a good 4G connection. The major dealbreaker for most is the extremely negative impact it has on battery and how shaky the signal is when you're in motion.
Nope. I don't get it in my area anyway.

Ha ha ha. Not where I come from. I'm in Iowa. We won't be getting 4G for a while.
easy way to see whats it's like...turn off your 4G radio for 5 days and see how it feels. then imagine that the UI itself is a bit smoother with more customization options. you now have an idea of CM6. course, we are expecting 4G in the sooner rather than later time frame.
i live in a 4G area and have lived without 4G for months. I look forward to having it but since i don't tether or stream movies its not a big deal. i miss the 'copy/paste' everywhere more than i miss the 4G radio.
a nandroid backup
a titanium backup
do a full wipe
enjoy
i ran CM nightlies for a few months, i have no 4g though.
i do have WiFi at home, at work I get a crappy connection to anything, if 3g is pulling down @ 300kbps i'm happy with that...tried Verizon PRL but it bumped ping up to 300ms instead but got 1.4mbps down. Stuck with Sprints 160ms ping though.
Probably flash the 12-17 nightly though, running the stock rooted sprint rom now, tired of how sluggish it feels.
k guys ive been looking at why so many people running CM on their evos have been getting horrible data speeds.
i flashed 6.1.1 as well as the v7 kernel from Bnice on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9878475&postcount=2
my speeds have been great. i encourage you look to into it and post back with your results
EDIT: UPON REBOOT DATA SPEEDS SLOWED BACK DOWN...

I wasn't aware this was a widespread issue on CM... my data speeds have been fine on CM.
How are you testing? And you've ruled out signal issues?
its horrible. i really dont know what happened because i used to be fine on CM6 also. one day everything changed. and yes when i flash a sense rom i get normal 3G speeds. ive run RUUs and wiped everything. i dont know where to begin. i think im going to completely delete everything off of my internal storage and external storage until i have a completely stock evo and try to start over
I'm Running cm6.1 in NYC and I get horrible 3g speeds. I've been running cm6 for a while now and never noticed how the 3g speeds were until this weekend. I love cm6 Rom but I might just have to go back to Sense if no solution is found.
i have contacted cyanogen about it. hopefully he will address the problem soon
Yeah, I know the thread title is a mouthful, but hear me out.
I've been running CM7 since the first nightlies, and have enjoyed it a lot. However, right now my only option for internet is through USB tethering/wireless hotspot.
The other night, after my Netflix kept stopping due to slow internet issues, I decided to try an experiment. I ran speedtest on CM7 with many different servers (LA, Chula Vista, San Diego, Phoenix) and saw that I topped out around 500kbps. So I flashed Myn's 2.2 and ran speedtest with the same servers and averaged out between 800 and 1300kbps each time.
I know that a lot of people have 3G speed issues with AOSP roms, but today as I was searching around for roms to try, I installed SalvageMod. The first thing I did was run speedtest, and ended up averaging around the same as I did with Myn's.
My question is, being an AOSP Gingerbread rom, why am I still getting Sense-like 3G speeds with Salvage, when I still can't top 600k with CM7?
A little irrelevant but just starting today, my 3g speeds are like 200kps which pisses me off since I just used to get 1.5 mbps. Using cm7. Ill try flashing myns when I get the chance but first I'm gonna keep tweaking cm7 until I'm outta options
Edit: nvm its gone now
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.

You must do this with a Sense based ROM first. Do this update then flash your nandroid of CM7.

I was going to do this, but my understanding was the moment u flash another rom it undoes this, unless that is just from flashing another sense rom?
Right off that post "-All credit to original finder of this fix, i am just passing it along and found the speed increase. Also when you flash a new rom it will back to old settings so remember to re-apply and it wont make you more vulnerable to anything."
Basically when i was running 2.2 my dl speed on 4g was 14 mbps... Now I've switched to cm7 nightly and im only getting 2.6 mbps.. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?? I thank you guys in advance !!!
Well you can try to gps on a sense rom and flash back, but do be patient, 4G was recently integrated, and the version isn't final yet.
Well yea that true but i also noticed that there are people that are getting 12 mbps.. I'm just wondering..
Some people have better strength in the area with CM7, also They could be getting it at an"optimal" time.

find it impossible that you were getting 14 down on a sense rom when sprint caps it at 10...

Sprint only caps the upload speed.. besides i was tethering to my laptop i did the speedtest im 100% sure it hit 14mbps. I know what a saw and im sure theres other people here on xda that has pass 10mbps

Click Faqs.. Question number 5
I would like to have to have just a normal Jelly Bean 4.1 or know 4.2.1 experience of my phone. I tried out the Pacman rom and CM10 rom. Both have the same issue. My 4g wimax speeds go from 10megs to 750kbps.
Is there something that I missing or is everyone just fine with horrible speeds? I even tried the temp boot and updated my PRL and such.
Is there anyone running a stock android 4.1 or 4.2.1 with 10 meg wimax speeds? or does this not exists.
currently im running TW jelly bean FL16 rom....perfect wimax. so its not JB.
~also which I found annoying was this was the same issue on my piece of crap evo3d. wimax would go from 10megs down to 750kbps on every ASOP, AKOP, CM9 and up.

Some have said that its because there is no kernel source for JB. So aosp roms don't have kernel source for the kernels they use.

So when the developer of the roms say 4g is working, its actually not?

No. It is working.
Tbh I never fully trust speedtest.net servers. For example.. I have 2 servers in columbus, oh and 1 in radnor,oh near me. Columbus servers are 50 miles closer to me than radnor ones. Still I always get 2-3 times faster results on radnor servers.
So in reality I have a faster throughput but I am misled by server caps. Now i know this is not the case because obviously on a tw rom you get much faster results.
What I am trying to say here is that when I am on 4g on non tw roms, 4g is much faster than 3g even though speedtests tells another story for me. 4g and 3g speedtests give me similar results. I also get faster tranafer rates when downloading files when on 4g.
So my guess always has been that on non tw jb roms, speedtests are not measured correctly.

i live in downtown Cincinnati with perfect 4g signal. Speedtest is one way to check. Another is by trying to download things.it took a couple mins to download speedtest. I mean its like being on 56k modem or something. So no 4g is not working correctly. it might be working, but at 1/12 of the speed its suppose to.
The source for aosp kernel was made from ics kernel source which apparently has a buggy 4g problem... That's why custom kernels also have throttled 4g. Hopefully after jb source drops somebody will make another kernel with the new source...

It's an issue with source built kernels. Nobody really knows why it happens hut it is what it is. Repacked kernels are where it is if you want 4g speeds to not be absymal.
