Hey,
I really love the feel of ASOP roms but when ever I flash one, deck cm7 or other asop roms my 3g speeds slow down to a crawl and after a few days I cant even get my web pages to load. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Sense roms work just fine its just those ASOP that my phone doesnt like.
Thanks in advance
I'm on my evo so its a little harder for me to shoot you a link but if you Google "evo 4g aosp slow 3g xda" you should find a thread from a while back that talked about it. I'm not 100% sure but I believe there was a sollution. If you can't find it pm me
Also are your radios up to date? That could be a cause. New radios were release a day or 2 ago. Just wait for calkulin to make a flashable zip and flash it in amon. Also NEVER PULL YOUR BATTERY DURING A RADIO UPDATE you get paper weights

Probably 10 pages back, captain_throwback made a PC36IMG with the radio and PRI to flash; the NV and wimax didn't change. I flashed it the day before yesterday and all good.
Thanks guys I found that xda link and am looking through it now, Il let you know what I find.
I am flashing the latest version of the roms, so that should include the latest radios right?
I'm in the same boat as you. 3g is slow and I only have around 2 bars. It says my radio is up to date(on Decks Rom) so I didn't flash. Maybe ill just wait for the new updates.

Thanks for these links, I am getting horrible 3G speeds as well. These links only seem to be solutions for Sense based ROMs and they say switching to a AOSP ROM may loose these settings. I had Sprint refresh my data signal while I was on AOSP and my speeds got amazingly fast with just one bar but after a few hours the dropped to a crawl. I have no idea what's going on or why this is happening and it's very frustrating.
I am going to flash MikG and see how this helps but I hate Sense ROMs because of the lack of SBC and the battery life is horrible in Sense.
Sorry I didnt get to check last night, those fixes do work but my 3g was still dead, what I had to end up doing was flashing a new radio and installing it, then i had to go in my SENSE rom to system updates and update my profile and then I flashed an ASOP rom and life was good!
I'd provide a link, but when I searched for it, it was like the first link. Google 3g turbocharger. It'll take you to a thread on here that's about V6 supercharger. Go down to download section and it'll be there. Try all 4 options, for me, #1, fast, is the fastest, but it varies

Sigh...
I was asking for the link to the specific radios to flash. The one solution is only for Sense ROMS and this is an AOSP thread. Also, I've tried 3G turbo charger and it doesn't seem to make a noticeable difference. I also asking for a link to the specific radios because I have a wakelock and have read that flashing a certain set will fix it. So I figured I might be able to fix both problems if someone would kindly link to the specific post with the specific radios.

Again, not at my computer ATM to provide links, but searching "Evo 4g radio update" and within the first 5 links is calkulins (typo? Sorry) page with all current radios.
As for turbocharger you have to try all the settings. Some work better than others and it does depend on phone/ROM setup.
Again sorry for not being able to provide links atm

Sorry for the miscommunication, I thought you meant Google. Either way I was unable to find the post that suggest the different radio/NV/PRI combos that would supposedly fixed the issue. I updated to the latest through bootloader and recovery and see no difference in speed or the wakelock issue.
I have the most recent radios from the newest ota update in my sig. I myself have been using them and have had no issues. But, the radios don't affect wifi or 3g speed. Just updates to newer towers and relay points. I recommend wiping cache and dalvik twice. Once before, and once after flashing.
To note, I've heard a lot of people saying to flash to a sense ROM and update PRL and Profile, but I myself never have and haven't noticed anything, but maybe that's why? Idk.... I'll try in a few days and get back to you.
Hi all Got a little issue here running cm10 just flashed from ics looks great runs smooth great job guys but here is the problem no data? I have my epic 4g touch flashed to metro pcs I went thru the instructions several times have wiped everything started over numerous times but still no data. The icons don't come on or anything. At this point I am stuck I have pretty good knowledge on how things work around here if someone can take a moment and point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. I saw another post on no data on cm9 and claims doing a nandroid back up from previous rom then flashing the restoring works but that did not work either was very brief in what he had done so description wasn't very clear. So that I can get a good reply this is exactly what I have at this point: SPH-d710 phone Android ver.4.1.1 Baseband Fh23 Kernel ver. #.).15-cm-g4471ee1 [email protected]#1 CyanogenMod 10-20120901-unofficial-d710 Flashed metro pcs with everything working talk txt web mms. Again Thank you all for any help in this matter these guys do some great stuff and would like to use this software. Keep up the great work guys.
To get data working on non-TW ROMs you have to replace a few files in the ppp folder. I don't have the Metro PCS files though, I only have the Cricket files

Sorry for the REALLY late reply.
This is the thread that lead me in the right direction: http://www.cricketusers.com/sprint-samsung-galaxy-sii-epic-4g-touch/32209-web-cm9.html
And this is the post with the flashable zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22162851&postcount=10
It says it works for "alternate carriers" but I'm on Cricket so I'm not sure if it'll work for Metro PCS. You can give it a shot though. Let me know how it goes.
Trying it now thanks will keep you posted on what my findings are thanks again for the pointer fingers crossed.
Was a no go thanks tho hopefully one of the developers will be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks again
Maybe look through this thread? (http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...-evo-all-info-here-rom-metrogenmod-7-1-a.html)
Edit: You could try the AOSP web script from this thread also (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182)
I have the exact same problem but am now on blue kuban for the same reason... if you find a solution let us know i might try cm10 again
I will do some research and update you all on the outcome thanks again for the info
Ok looks like I may have to go into qpst and edit my internet settings but have ran into a snag on cm10 cant get the program to recognize the phone if I could get it to pick up the phone then I can reedit the settings for my data to work but like I said at a snag. Will update as soon as I can figure it out or something changes on the rom to access the modem. Any help would be appreciated.
just flashed cm10 will try something out also after thursday when i have time after school

SOLVED flashed the zip on Paranoidandorid 4.1.1 works like a charm thank you your awsome have a nice day :laugh:
Found a answer
Ok boys and girls I found the stepping stones to how to make this work now mind you I am still working on it. This is what I have done thus far I went to playstore downloaded apn shortcut as soon as it hits your home screen you can click on it and change your apn settings to whatever carrier you are on then I went to my dialer and typed as follows *#*#4636#*#* this opens a window if you scroll down some you will see it say something other than cdma what you want there is auto cdma (prl) as soon as I did this the data came on now Im not in a good signal area but it came on it only showed 1x tho I do not know if that is because of my area. If anyone can test that and let me know we might have made progress and if I am doing something wrong feel free to tell me what it is. Again any help in this matter is greatly appreciated and if this helps don't forget to say thanks lots of long nights trying to figure this out. :good:
Ok figured out
Finally success the only issue is I'm only getting 1x I flashed the alternative carrier fix then I went to the dailer and typed in *#*#4636#*#* then scrolled down and changed the setting to cdma prl auto and data started working so now Im trying to get answers on 3g coming on sorry took so long to figure out Im still learning myself if you guys need the link I can post it if necessary. Also when you go in and change the setting to cdma prl auto you mayhave to click it a couple times for it to stick it may change itself to unknown just click it againg to cdma prl auto again til you get the data going and then it will stick. If this helps don't forget to say thanks

Okay, I probably did this in the wrong order ... however I have installed Androxide 3.1.1 [JB] ROM on my phone. The EVO was deactivated when I did this, however I decided to activate the EVO and start using it as my every day phone. The activation went good, except when the Sprint rep asked me to go into system settings to update the PRL, there was no system update. Is this something that can be updated after the ROM has been flashed???

There may be a way, but I've always had to flash a sense rom to update prl and data profile.
When my kids ask me,"Dad, what does this word mean?" I say bring me a dictionary.......then I smack them with it, and tell them to Google that sh¡t!!!

Thanks! I called back and talked to a second rep who passed me on to their tech department. The Tech just walked through the menus, not finding the same things the 1st and 2nd rep tried to find. Then had me put a couple of codes into the phone, which did nothing. He was then stumped. So I told him, I guess I need to find a stock rom and call back ... he agreed.

You don't have to be on a stock ROM. You only need to be running a Sense ROM that allows you to upgrade your profile and PRL. You can't do that on a AOSP ROM.

Does anyone want to form a team for MIUI porting? The ROM I have is working almost flawlessly, missing just signal. Everything else works (as far as I know). Anyone willing to help?
By the way, for helping me progress thus far, I couldn't have done it without xboxfanj. I'm a noob and am just getting the hang of this, hence, xboxfanj helped with most of this stuff.
MIUI is an awesome ROM allowing customizable themes that can change literally everything. You can change the status bar, lockscreen, home screen, and more all in just one app called themes. Plus, the ROM is super fast and has a lot of toggles, and much more to come with the help needed. Please, this ROM is one of my favorites, if you guys can help, it is much appreciated.
I can't help, but I'm curious as to what base you're using..CM or TouchWiz?

You are incorrect in your answer, it's already been done. So, my question still stands to the OP. As far as I know, patchrom currently only works with ICS however. Maybe you have sources beyond mine. Here's something to look into though. https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom

ah i see actually he just bundled some apps from tw like back when i had a galaxy nexus they had a touchwiz theme that included the launcher and s voice and some widgets. he said that he wanted to add some sammy features to miui so he did lol see tw roms use a different framework and most apps wouldnt work on miui however some people have taken there time to port over launchers and apps and put them there roms.
its like the opposite of putting https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5taXVpLm1paG9tZTIiXQ.. on a touchwiz rom
They have touchwiz based miui on the international note 2, and the at&t note 2. I had it running on my sprint note 2 the other day, but was unable to get the radios to function properly. I had signal, but couldnt select the network I wanted it on and apns werent fuctioning properly. Miui v4 is supposed to be based on stock rom, not aosp, its just easier to port aosp than incorporate it into stock.

I used CM beta (before alpha 1). xboxfanj helped me get partial signal working. There was 3g at first, but then something about sim card activation came up, and then i pressed dismiss..and well.. that made me lose signal. After that I got signal but with emergency calls only.

(To reply to what you were saying in the post)
Indeed we do have a starting point. However, I used the updated version of MIUI for the int'l model to port. It's literally almost done. Only flaw is signal as far as I can see at the moment.
If I remember correctly, aren't all of the Note 2's basically the same thing with the exception of the modems and Networks? (GSM vs CDMA?) Isn't the International version using GSM?

I had that issue before, but I decided to undo the changes and just stick to emergency calls only at the moment. However, I didn't use the aosp version. It's not as easy as just changing stuff. Once you do so, another problem will occur. It's so annoying >.< That's why I've asked to form a team. I have 2 others so far. Xboxfanj and lbxmobbin & they do great work.

Guys,
This might be a longshot, but I'm hoping someone might be able to give some advice.
I have the Epic 4G tough and had it flashed over to straight talk. At first it worked good(since Dec), but the 3G data speeds were never really there. Was getting a max of around 200-250k/sec, but things were pretty solid. Others around here with ST and flashed ST phones have been able to get 1.5+ Mb/sec speeds.
Did have a problem with the signal just disappearing and then coming back a few seconds later, even while in an area where I had 4+ bars. Just Poof, gone and then it would come back.
The phone did an OTA update a month or so ago and things were still working the same. I think a couple of ther updates might have happened in the past week because I heard my phone reboot a couple of times for no reason that I can find.
For about the past week though things have went all to crap on it.When 3G does connect I'm luckt to get 16k/sec. Still works great over wifi.
Here is my baseband version:
S710.10 S.FL24
Android version 4.04.
Does anyone have any advice that might help me out?
Thanks in advance.
I'm assuming that since you flashed over to ST that you are rooted? If so, have you updated your modem, prl, profile? There is also a thread on here where you can change your 3g settings using your MSL code, that may help you. From what I've read, sometimes OTA will jack with the 3g signal. Try those things and see if that held. You may have to flash different modems depending on where you live to find the best one. You're running ICS, I'd start in rwilco12's repository and flash the latest ICS modem, update prl and profile, and see if that helps. Good luck! Hope it works out

Unfortunately I had the phone remotely flashed by flashedphones.net and it isn't rooted.
It does have the newest ST PRL on it.
Could you possibly post a link for the MSL thread?
Looking over the repository and reading the thread about it, I see mention that there are ODIN 1 click modem files and someone mentioned that these will root the phone as well. Does anyone know if this is correct? If so that would be a great added bonus for me.
I think I can still flash a modem to the phone through ODIN even if it is not rooted?
Thanks!
Yes, you should be able to flash a modem without rooting using odin. If you can boot into download mode, Odin should flash just fine. However, in order to change 3g settings, you need to be rooted. You have to use terminal emulator(on the linked guide, there may be other ways) which requires rooting to have full control.

First thing you'll want to look for is making a nandroid backup. The saying goes "if flashing breaks it, a backup should restore it".
You'll specifically want to look for recording your mms/mmsc/apn settings. Basically anything carrier specific settings that you can edit via the ##data# menu. Make sure you write them down and that way you won't have to hunt for them.
You'll need to know what your msl is as well. There are threads to help you get that.
When it comes to flashed over carrier devices, mms usually breaks and has to be edited for settings.
Check out threads that deal with, for example, Boost flashes and check their issues and expect the same to happen and you'll need to fix.

You'll specifically want to look for recording your mms/mmsc/apn settings. Basically anything carrier specific settings that you can edit via the ##data# menu. Make sure you write them down and that way you won't have to hunt for them.
You'll need to know what your msl is as well. There are threads to help you get that.
When it comes to flashed over carrier devices, mms usually breaks and has to be edited for settings.
Check out threads that deal with say Boost flashes and check their issues and expect the same to happen and you'll need to fix.

That's the first thing you do after rooting with a custom recovery.
One step at a time. Do your research, read and ask questions and you'll be good to go.
Tip, use Google to search the forum, the forum search can be confusing at best.

Pp is right, finding good info can be difficult sometimes. Here are 2 good threads to read and know.. (If you get stuck, let us know)
This is older but still is a good resource for understanding.

Grrr,Pancho you're too da*n fast for me! I actually knew the answer to that one. Throw a brother a bone will ya? Ha. On a serious note, Pancho is right. If you don't know what nandroid is, you're not ready to root. But once you do, you'll have the ability to flash a custom recovery that basically allows you to make a mirror copy of the current ROM you have. That way, if you mess things up, you can always reflash the custom recovery cwm, restore the ROM, and start over. Read, read, read. The folks here have encountered and answered about every type of issue.

Flashed a different modem and had no change. Flashed the GB08 rooted no data rom and still the same.

Just had someone local take a good look at my phone.
Looks like it was a bad flash from the start.
Another flashedphones.net victim.
They want me to send it in to them so they can "fix" it.
The hell with that. I'll eat the money and get it fixed locally so that I have someone who actually knows what they are doing.

Hmmm, that sucks. Well, if you are the least bit comfortable with doing it yourself, you can guaranteed find something to help you on here. The instructions are on here, just read, read, read, and ask the right questions. Good luck!

Thanks man.
Luckily this local guy is pretty good. I'm pretty sure he will let me watch so I might learn some things. Not interested in doint other peoples phones, but would like to learn so I can do my own stuff.
As far as flashing ROM's/ modems I'm comfortable with that. Just need more experience with the changing over to other services on them.
But hey, at least I have a pretty decent JB rooted rom on it now.
Has anyone played around with the radios and seen which ones seem to be pretty good in weak signal areas?

That you do(have a good jb rom, if you have jellyverse that is ). I'm using GB27 modem on mine. Works fine, but no modem I have will get goods signal in my office. Awesome that you'll get to watch live and in color. Let me know how it goes and if you need anything else. I may not know the answer, but can certainly find it or reach out to someone who does know. Enjoy your weekend
