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:

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

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.
Sorry don't flame.
Ever since I loaded Myns RLS 5 with new radio and wimax etc.
My signal has decreased in most areas when I travel to my normal spots its all 1 bar or two maybe even none. It never use to be like this until I switched. Any clues?

I have also noticed a huge decrease in signal for any radio. Including WiFi. For some reason I am not getting a good connection. I downgraded back to PRI 177, but it still sucks. I first noticed it when I was traveling... So I wasnt sure if it was because I was in an unfamiliar area and didnt know what kind of signal to expect. But now that I'm home I definitely see a difference.
Has anybody else seen this? Just bad data overall.

I've been having issues with this too... Updated to Myn's RLS5, flashed the new radio combo and service has been much worse than before. I have tried to downgrade the radios, pri/nv and combinations of new radio/previous pri/nv. I've even tried these combos on sense roms (Myn's & MikFroyo) as well as AOSP roms (CM 6.1.2 w/ and w/o 4g) with no improvement. I've even restored my NAND backup of Myn's RLS4. Profile updated after each radio flash.
I've noticed with the signal issues comes less than stellar battery life. I'm a power user so I was getting about 10hrs before the radio updates. Now it's more like 6-7hrs if lucky.
I noticed the same thing except for me its on all roms and ive been having bad connection with service and data for like two months now
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.

See if this increases your speed. It works for many.

Thanks. Did that when I had Warm 2.2 installed. Could explain the speed increase in Salvage.

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."
Lately I've been pretty much stuck on 1x at work when I normally have 3g almost the whole time. Any ideas as to how to fix this? I'm running 7.0.0 and have tried restarting my phone.
I tried searching, but if this has already been addressed, someone please say so and I'll look harder.
I updated to 7.0.3, same issue...anyone?

Have flashed a radio recently? Which one are you on?
I've noticed that on CM7 3G is a lot slower for me than other ROMs, and on any AOSP ROM 3G sucks a LOT more battery life than it did on Sense
Maybe Verizon is working on towers in your area? Or maybe try flashing another rom to see if it alleviates the problem, if it does then you know for a fact that it is CM and you can start to work from there.
Hope this helps...

Really? I've had the total opposite.
I honestly didn't think ROM's had anything to do with data speeds but I noticed when I went from CM7 to SkyRaider3.5 it dropped nearly in half. I kept on SR3.5 for about 3 months, and then again it's now double (peaking at 325KB/s) on CM7.
To the OP, the most common things I would suggest you to do is check what radio version you have, if it's too old or maybe a newly flashed radio then that's a likely cause for your problem.
Also, more importantly is to update your PRL codes with *228
Hey everyone. Im running ei22 and i have horribly slow data speeds on 3g. the latency is in the 1000s to 1500s and speed is around 100kbps or slow both down and up. please help. i dont care what rom, what modem, or what kernel i use. i just cant use this like this. my only request is to be on gingerbread and to be able to use 4g when its avail.
Thanks in advance.
Try CleanGB. Simple and stable. Good battery life. It was my first ROM and im happy with it.

All the GB ROMs have 4G working fine. Your 3G issues sounds like a bad tower near you. You can try reflashing the modem. If you go to a GB ROM you will need to Odin in the EC05 modem so you can flash the EC05toEI22 modem.
Have you tried using an older modem? I think every phone has a sifferent one that seems to work better than the others. Mine personally gives me the best spped with the EH17 modem. Flash a new one and see what happens.
I've felt that data is slow on EI22 since I installed it. You may be experiencing the same thing, it may be inherent.
