Amazing, Just Amazing!!! H TO 3G TO G maybe solved!!

I have just installed Evils Custom Barebone rom v5 on the dev bord for desire, its a rom build that has no sense, just helixlauncher2. Now before i installed this i had the stock rom running and that always kicked my network preference to G and if i set it to HSDPA only, i would get scratchy 3G/H... Since installing the bareback rom, which has no sense running at all, i am on 3g or h constantly, and when i load a web page it always kicks into H.
I must also add that after i rooted i also updated my radio (baseband) to the new one released, the asia update
This could mean that sense applications or sense itself is forcing our phones to 2G networks as preference, I know this idea is out of the box but its looking that way, especially in my case.

very good news! although it's most likely the radio update that has fixed the problem! (i had the issue with the HD2 and it was discovered that it was not the fault of the Sense services that the connection would drop)
please keep us updated as it can take a while for the connection to drop, it can stay stable for hours and then drop like crazy.
thanks for posting but do keep us updated!
thanks!

Its definatly not the radio update mate as i still had the problem straight after rooting and updating to the new radio..... The problem only was solved when i installed the custom barebone rom, i now have HSDPA on tap, instead of blank spells when i had wcdma only on previous to the custom rom.
I just added that if people want to replicate what i did, then they have the full picture
Plus constant 3 bars of 3g reception

well please do some further testing and report back! download a 50mb file while surfing the net and see if it drops
if it doesn't then there is a fault with Sense which HTC must fix.

ok gonna test now, also just made a phone call which was liquid! pure liquid!! No breaks or anything... I think we may be on to something here guys! something thats pretty big!
This rom is avoid of any sense, sense looking like what is killing our connections;(
JD

Started to download 114mb nvidia graphics driver, whilst on 3 bars it was downloading very fast, then it dropped to two bars, and it hung, after downloading 2mb, then it popped back up to three bars, downloaded another 2mb and then dropped back down again to two bars. When surfing it always stays three bars. It looks like tmobile have put a cap on how much we can download in bursts.
Im still noticing 95 percent surfing on hsdpa improvment.
JD

also i think removing sense and all of its RAM burden helps the phone to make better and faster decision's. This could be whats happening here

Also reporting a better WIFI signal strength, wad usually one bar from my room, now is now a constant 2 bars on signal icon

Stock T-Mobile ROM, never had any issues?
This seems to happen with every new HTC release. Could it just be poor network performance?
Why do I never have issues? Live around Nottingham but work all over the UK, no problems with HSPA.

Ok, i unchecked under location, determine location by wifi towers.... Went to download that 114mb file again,
Worked 100 percent.
downloaded in just under 10 mins no hang))
so its solved!!

Paul some people are having intermittant G/3G/HSDPA
My problem was solved by not having Sense And with the CM Mod being uploaded as we speak i will see if its to draw with that as well.
But im definatly getting faster, always H speeds now, and the only thing i changed was the rom

i must be lucky i dont seem to have the issue

So if some people have it and others don't how can it be device and not network related?

It's OS and Network related.
There's an open bug on the android development site about it. I don't know all the ins and outs but the OS seems to have some difficulty re-acquiring dropped signals. So if your network has dodgy 3G coverage you're more likely to experience this.
I'm sure it's far more complicated than my explanation though and involves all kinds of fascinating intricacies regarding the type of 3G coverage and automatic switching between the different connections yadda yadda...

Yeah its pretty deep, all i know is it has been fantastic since Sense has been off my phone

Just to clarify here, switching rom and radio on your phone did not solve the issue as there was still a dropout, but what has fixed it is disabling the location, what do you mean location by wifi towers?

[Q] Radio + Data Speed Question

With all the excitement going on with the Wimax being alpha tested in the CM ROM it got me testing my data speeds the last few weeks.
From my understanding 3G speeds should be decent and range between 1 - 3 mbps down, and using Sprints 3G network I am not coming close to that.
I am using the SpeedTest.net app for my results, and I have read from some posts that the app might not be that accurate.
Here are the results that I have been seeing (displayed as Mbps) using the closest server to me (Random Lake, WI - even though other servers are giving me the same low scores):
1/6/11 - .18 down and .37 up
1/6/11 - .16 down and .30 up
1/2/11 - .30 down and .77 up
12/27/10 - .45 down and .27 up
12/27/10 - .34 down and .27 up
12/27/10 - .12 down and .20 up
12/24/10 - .45 down and .70 up
12/24/10 - .15 down and .62 up
As you can see, not close to the 1 - 3 range that I would expect. I am checking that the icon is showing 3G and 1X when doing the test as well. Here is some information to help deduct and (hopefully) solve my issue.
My EVO is from release day, not the 004 hardware
I'm running CM 6.1.1
CM stock kernal that comes with it - 2.6.35.9 [email protected] #1
Theme is Project_Bliss HD (modded by me to include some different emoticons and Batman themed notification shade)
I have flashed all of the latest
*Radio - 2.15.00.11.19
*Wimax - 27167_R01 (even though where I live has no 4G)
*PRI - 1.90_003
*NV - 1.90_003
I have flash a Sense ROM and update Profile and PRL
I live in Appleton, WI area if that matters at all.
So am I just looking at my results wrong? If I'm not, what are some solutions that I can look at to improve my 3G data speed? Any other test I should run or try?

Thanks for letting Cyanogen know that. So it sounds like I'm not alone in this?
Are you having any issues?
Sent from my EVO (CM6.1.1) using XDA App

A lot of those results look like they could be from when you were connected at 1x speeds. Sometimes it seems like the status bar icon doesn't update quickly for the change in network type. Also, how strong of signal do you have. If you're at the edge of data coverage, the rate might be low because a lot of packets are getting lost in transmission. Have you seen what your speeds look like in other locations? In my home town I regularly get over 2mb, but when I was traveling a few weeks ago in some places I could barely pull 300k.

I have check all over town since my apartment is further away and gets lower strenght. Im getting the same results close or far away from a tower.
Sent from my EVO (CM6.1.1) using XDA App

i started noticing this with my evo aswell, actually about yesterday, my stats are about the same in the OP, i live less then a mile from the 4g tower, i've even been about 200 yards away and gotten crappy 4g signal, anywhere from only 3-4 dl, and barely 1 ul.

Hopefully this helps. I was also experiencing 1x speeds although the phone indicated 3G. I upgraded to an EVO after modding my Hero for the past year. Thus I was pretty comfortable with rooting, installing roms, etc. within 24 hours of getting my EVO I decided to root it and try out some of the roms available.
Almost immediately after rooting using unrEVOked I noticed signiffigantly slower data speeds. (I'm not pointing any fingers, only documenting what led up to this) I first tried out the latest CM6 rom. Upon booting it indicated 1x speeds though posts that I read stated that you are actually recieving data at 3G speeds. I think that CM6 may actually be reporting the data connection accurately while the sense rom is not. Using speedtest.net's app (I know it dosen't report speeds accurately) I was consistently recieving between 80-160 kbs download and 60-100 kbs upload. I then downloaded the same app to my wifes unrooted EVO and ran a side by side comparison. Using the same server and within seconds of testing each her EVO was downloading at 800-1600 kbs download and 600-1000 kbs upload while mine was still recieving at the afore mentioned speeds. I tried updating PRL, profile, running the stock rom to no avail. I then tried RUU and unrooting without any change.
I was convinced that either Sprint was throttling my connection or the transmitter in the phone was defective or damaged. I was ready to return the phone to Radio Shack where I purchased it last week but I decided to call Sprint and inquire about the throttling issue first. Sprint assured me I was not being throttled and they also thought I may have a defective phone but they asked if I would perform a ##DATA# before returning it. Amazingly enough this worked and my data speeds have returned to 3G speeds of around 1000-1400 kbs download.
I'll detail the procedure but I make no guarantees this will work for anyone else. Also you'll need your MSL, there are guides that detail how to obtain this or you can all Sprint and ask nicely. Also I did this while stock and unrooted and I haven't tried to reobtain root again yet so if this works for you while rooted let me know. Finally I believe you'll have to perform this using the stock dialer as I don't believe that the CM dialer will work for this.
Procedure is as follows:
Open dialer and type ##3282#. (##DATA#)
You should now be taken to the epst prompt. Choose "Edit Mode"
You will now be asked for your password. This is your MSL
Next you want to choose "Data Profile"
While in Data Profile hit the "Menu" button at the bottom of the phone.
Next choose "Restore" and allow the phone to reprovision.
Let me know if this works if you try it while rooted as I'd like to reroot again but I'm a little gun shy now that it's fixed again.

I'll give that I try and see what happens. I have to flash a stock ROM first and hope that any changes follow me along back to CM ROM. I am also going to try the Wimax kernal to see if that helps since that ks reporting to be a possibility.

this sorta helped me a bit, but i just also ended up flashing back to 1.77pri and nv, though i still have the latest wimax and radio and 60674prl on myn's rls5, however i'm still experiencing way below average data speeds as compared to what i used to, i have a release day evo with 0002 hardware, and .76 hboot, even my 4g's are slower then what they used to be.

FWIW, I experienced a drop in speed as well. I used to get 1-2 Mbps easy. Now all I get is around 500. Very strange.

i really hope your right, i mean the other day with cmWimax i nailed a 7.61, now i'm lucky if im even in the 3 range for moar gee's, lol, even with reg sense rom's i'm barely in 3 range as well, i have a tower that is only about 200 yards away that is 4g and it still suxor's.

I haven't had a chance to test the above, I'm about to start to do that.
I did try out Sprints Network Speed Test and got results from it above 1.0 finally. Then I tried using the speed test app and it was giving me location in Europo to test? This morning it is back to normal and both the speed test app and Sprints website both were giving the same results - around .80.
I'm going to flash the Wimax for CM and see if that helps out. If not, then I'm going to flash a Sense ROM and do the #DATA# trick listed above.
Here is the website for Sprints speed test website. You'll need the latest Flash installed from the market for it to work.

i have noticed though with this release of myn's that i do keep dropping 4g and reconnecting, something that i have never did before on other dev's rom's.

Well, both attempts to fix it didn't work. The new Wimax for CM didn't give me faster speed and the flashing to Sense ROM to do the ##DATA# didn't help either.
Anyone else have any ideas?

3g 1x

My 3g has not been running much. It has been switching to 1x. What should the new updates be now radio updates? I live in KS and I think the issue is I need to update radios

Any ideas
Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!

mine was doing the alot too but i flashed the newest radios as of 07/04/2011 and it stopped going into 1x alot

I started having this problem recently as well, I live in the Boston area. I believe I have the latest radios, 2.15.00.05.02. I had been running the stock rooted rom, which only shows a 3G icon regardless of actual connection speed. I noticed that when I flashed the Synergy Sense 3.0 ROM that my phone was sitting in 1x most of the time. I tried flashing Deck's ASOP 1.2.1 and was seeing the same speed issues. I ran a Speed Test on each of the ROMs and was getting less than 100kbps. I'm currently back on the stock rooted ROM while I try to debug the speed issues.

I was just about to post a thread on this as well because it is frustrating me a lot. when i first got the phone i was full bars every where and now , especially after rooting , I have terrible signal and most times cant load web pages or download from market unless im on wifi

I have 2.15.00.09.01 radio is that the newest

An update on my situation. My 3G magically started working again last night. I think my 3G issue may have been related to the SMS/data outage that hit the Sprint network in the past 48 hours.

What data outage did they have
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

All i was aware of was an sms - mms outage like he said but im still experiencing these issues. It now seems to only be certain webpages. I can't make any google searches and some websites will only load once in a great while.

Yeah I'm still having 1x issues. It sucks. So what is the new radio or a d l link for it would be great
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Check my sig for radio downloads. I am currently on the newest radios, and everything works perfectly for me.
Flash a rooted Sense ROM, based on the Evo (this disqualifies MikG, Director's Cut, Synergy and other Sense 2.1 ROMs, because those are based on the Evo Shift (I've had issues with Shift-based ROMs not reactivating)
Go into EPST (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode), enter your MSL code (download and use MSL Reader from the Market to get it), Data Profile, hit the menu button and choose restore. Just sit there, your phone will reboot and everything will go back to default. This should fix your 3G issue.
Then, just wipe everything and flash your favorite ROM!

Go to about phone, click build number a couple times until it says you're now a developer, then go to developer options and disable it there. And it won't affect anything.

CM 10.1 and AOKP Reception Issues (dBm & asu)
I have tried to find information concerning this issue for sometime now, but can't seem to find any information concerning it. There may very well be, but not in a form that I recognize it as the solution or as the source of my issue...
Any time I install a CM 10.1 based rom or AOKP rom onto my GS III I747 (AT&T) they run very smooth for the most part. My only concern is that the signal fluctuates a great deal from nearly a full signal to nothing sometimes. When I go to Settings>about device>status I see a crazy dBm and asu. The dBm is around "2456543" and the asu is always "255." Before and when I return to the stock rom, the signal strength is fine and registers correct numbers. Is this a known issue, or something I am doing wrong and can correct?
Just to get a few questions out of the way, these are the steps I took to install these roms:
1 Used latest cwm;
2 formatted cache;
3 dalvik wipe
4 reset and factory wipe;
5 format system;
6 flash rom from sd card;
7 flash gapps;
8 reboot
I have even tried wiping dalvik and cache again after installing gapps, but I still get the same thing.

Swap your modem. I think LK3 is the one for AT&T but you can try some others too. Just look for the modem thread in the Dev section.

I tried every modem out there and still the same issue with "23542568 dbm 255 asu" and the signal randomly drops in and out. There has to be a known cause or something I can do, huh? This is such a shame because I found the perfect cm 10.1 based rom that I want to use but I can't. There has to be a solution... Can anyone help?

I have the same issues on my AT&T S3 when I flash CM10.1 based roms. I can be 5 feet from my wifi router and only have 3/4 signal. On TouchWiz roms, I have a full signal. When I'm 15-20 feet away from the router I have 3/4 signal strength on TW roms, and 1/2 signal on CM roms. The same issue goes for my cell signal. I don't have a very strong cell signal to begin with (typically 2 sometimes 3 bars on TW roms) and it's usually at least 1 bar less on CM roms than TW roms. My bedroom is just about the farthest point in my house from the router so having a weak signal (wifi or data connection) kills my battery life overnight (at least 10%-12%) on CM roms. This happens when connected to wifi OR data and it happens on every CM rom I've flashed.
Instead of flashing a different modem, should we try flashing a different kernel?? Any other suggestions? Or is this a know performance issue in the difference between CM and TW roms?

The flickering is quite likely an issue with auto brightness. I think it's an issue even on the nexus devices. Set it at a usable level and you should be okay.

"loosing" 3G on 4.3 Toro

So i was wondering if anyone else is having this issue.
for reference, I am on VZW, with the 4.1.1 radios (as the updated 4.2 radios had me locked into 3G no matter what, at work)
and i ALWAYS do a complete wipe (data/cache/dalvik/system) between ROM flashes.
4.3 bootloader as well.
anyway, this has been an issue since 4.3 hit my device...anything from pure AOSP to CM builds.
when I am on 3G, the bars will go gray and i cannot pull down data at all. (and yes i know the difference between blue and gray bars, I'm saying ANYTHING will say "network not available" not just google apps)
toggling data on/off fixes the problem. I ususally run into this problem 2-3 times a day and it is ALWAYS on 3G.
its not a huge deal, just more annoying than anything else. just wondering if I am alone here. going to be giving the 4.2.2 radios another chance and see if that fixes things.

Having this exact issue...it's driving me nuts as well. At this point I believe I've tried every radio with no luck. Going to try jumping back to 4.2 soon to see if it solves the issue.

Me too

I love how much fast my GNex is on 4.3, but I don't think I can deal with this data bull**** much longer. Frankly, I'm really getting tired of getting a new version of Android, being happy at first, then finding the HUGE bug that makes my phone a horror to use. WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN THINE VZW GNEX, GOOGLE!?!?

Just an update, as I updated my radios right around the time I updated to 4.3. I just switched back to CM 10.1 and all my data connection issues went away. That means it definitely has to do with 4.3 builds and not the radio firmware.

That's right, 4.3 sucks.

Edit build.prop and include this line:
ro.telephony.default_cdma_sub=0
Data issues are being reported on nearly every rom for the gnex. My data reconnect /switch went from about 60 - 90 secs to a reasonable 5-10. (don't forget to reboot to apply changes)

So happy I found this thread!
I'm having the SAME issue: GSM i9250 on Straight talk ATT sim (apn setting are updated and correct). Stock not rooted; been happening since 4.3 Update. From what I've read even folks on the N4 are having similar issues.
I've factory reset 3-4 times for testing purposes (back to "normal" for about an hour then those pesky gray bars and NO data on 3G/4G).
I have to do the airplane mode toggle every 1/2 hour if I'm really using the internet. Big pain in the ass!
I always rooted my devices in the past and haven't done the GNEX because I always felt stock was smooth enough for my purposes (quasi-work-phone and I need stability). If I have to deal with this bull-sh&% I'm probably gonna have to root and install a 4.2 ROM.
Any-whoo...thanks for letting me rant :^)
Hopefully "kit-kat" will help?

same issue its very annoying... did anyone find the fix ??

Is this a fix?
My issue seems to be on 4g as well. If the phone switches from wifi to 4g or if it goes from 4g to 3g and back to 4g it shows a connection with bars but never connects to data again.
