OK ive done this before but im having major issues with the data speeds on my tilt 2. I did the tethering like i always do and installed the speed hack. enabled the hspda but my speeds on my new tilt 2 are very slow compared to my old one that i broke, i am lucky to get 500 down and 700 or 800 up and i used to get 1.5 or more down and 500 up so i dont know whats different from this newer one then my old one. Anyone having the same problem?
do you have the proxy enabled or disabled?
Several factors can be effecting your speed like location and time of day.
Proxy unknown
I have no idea if the proxy is enabled or disabled, as for the location and time of day, i use my phone at work for internet and ive never had a problem with speeds untill i got the warrenty replacement from att, a brand new tilt 2 the old one always gave a great connection and great speed at least 1.5 down.
WOOO HOO Fast again!!
OK i found out how to disable the proxy and disabled it and now my speeds are back up to about 1.5 down and 900 up. Thanks for the info. I am glad im a member of this site its really helped me out alot.
Ok now I am having this issue! Mine only happens on custom roms. I flash back to the original AT&T rom and speeds go back up. I have attempted almost all the radios and still no luck. I have disabled and re-enabled the proxy to no avail. I have also used the jh20001 speed cab to try and fix it. This occurs on all the custom roms I have tried from Energy (multiple builds) Cell(multiple builds) etc.. Speeds on AT&T's rom ar anywhere from 1100kbps-2100kbps. I try a different rom and speeds are always anywhere from 190kbps-580kbps no greater. HSDPA/HSUPA is enabled and also have tried it w/ j/HSDPA enabled and off. Any help would be greatly appreciated
can anyone help w/ this? i flip between the tilt2 and hd2 so i can get 3g here in virginia. i would like to get my fast data speeds back so i can watch my slingbox and listen to internet radio.
Anyone out there w/ any knowledge on this?
Hi guys,
Please help me out here:
After I rooted and unlocked NAND on my EVO by following the guides on this forum (part 1 and part 2), my 4g connectivity is totally unreliable.
The connection switches between 4g and 3g a couple of times a minute. Sometimes the EVO will have a full 4g signal and an ip address (according to the settings app), but when I open the browser it says that there is no network connection. Switching the phone to 3g fixes the connectivity issue.
I live on the 14th floor of a high-rise and had full 4g signal before rooting. I have tried the stock ROM as well as the Bugless Beast ROM and I get the same results.
Does rooting and unlocking NAND somehow mess with the 4g radio in the EVO, anyone have this issue in the past? Please help, I don't want to take this thing back to Sprint and go for the iPhone
Have you updated the radio? Go to settings and see if you baseband is 1.39.00.05.31
4G Radio
What is your current baseband at?
you should be at 1.39.00.05.31 or higher. If you look for the Fresh .2 Rom, they have the Radio zip. reboot into recovery and flash with the new Zip it will update your Baseband radio will be updated.
I had issues with 4G connectivity I updated my radio and I am all set.
-Joshonekenobi
Yes, I just updated to the latest baseband and it's still doing the same thing.
The phone shows full signal on 4g and all of the sudden switches to 3g and back to 4g again. This occurs several times a minute.
Is there some way I can flash it back to completely stock ROM?
Thanks,
Rayden1000
i'm rooted via unrevoked and my 4g is spotty. rooted or not. for me I think its 4g not set up yet. It is a work in progress. I'm in St. Louis. Speeds suck as well.
Avg. 1.2 download 4g
Avg. 0.5 download 3g
I am in Baltimore, the first 4G market. I really don't think it has to do with coverage....before rooting (and even after rooting, when on 4G), I get about 3.6 down and 1 up (upload is capped at 1 by Sprint).
I also live in a high rise that's half a mile from Clearwire's 4G tower........my issue is that after rooting, the EVO is not locking to 4g, it keeps switching back and forth between 3g and 4g.

Same issue here... Try this: go to settings and disable mobile networks (i.e. turn 3G off). When I do this, speed test works fine, but as soon as I try to do something real it disconnects and says there is no connection, even if it had a strong signal... not terribly useful!

L_Mo,
Were you having this issue before rooting (I am just assuming that you did root)? I swear that I did not have this issue before doing the full root and Nand unlock. When I just had Unrevoked root, I was using my Evo as my internet connection for my laptops for a full week with no issues and as a result I disconnected my Comcast cable internet.
I am just at a loss here, if I can't get this fixed, I will have to either flash the phone back to stock or take it back to Sprint for an exchange.
Rayden1000
I had the same problem after rooting. I am having better luck with Flipz stock rooted rom. I am using Flipz ota 1.32.651.6 rooted rom with the 1.39.00.05.31 radio. I wiped cache and delvic before flashing.
If this doesn't work for you you can get the stock RUU and reflash to unrooted stock.

Unrevoked is a ***** root and couldn't possibly mess with your 4G, sorry to say!
And, to the rest of you, rooting would not mess with your signal at all unless you dropped your phone or some ****. Installing the newest radio would be my only recommendation. Or you can unroot it and try to exchange it for a different EVO.

I had the same issue. Reflashed the RUU and still had connection problems (good 4g signal, but use the internet and it drops and switches to 3g). Didn't have problems with my 4g data card though.
edit: I actually thought I messed something up myself before I even rooted. I was in a bad area and kept roaming even though I could get a weak Sprint signal so I switched it to Sprint only and I think I mightve messed with some other settings under that mobile network tab. What are the default settings?
So basically, something in the full rooting process (not the unrevoked one), f's up the baseband or access to the baseband? I am not an electronic engineer, but it's obvious that doing the full root messes up 4G.
Any senior members in the know have a fix for this? I already exchanged my Evo once because of several stuck pixels, it would look suspicious if I went back to the store again...

Don't take what I said as a definite Evo or root problem. I'm curious as to if it's a 4g here in Philly problem. When I first bought the 4g card it was great, but wasn't using it so I returned it. Bought it again 4 months later and I returned that one because the 4g was terrible. I'm thinking 4g where I'm at sucks and is getting worse with more and more people jumping on it. I was a 3g early adopter so I'm not worried yet.
edit: I'm gonna go down to an area that's known to have a good 4g signal after work and sit around and do some "testing".
Which market are you in? Sprint has been doing a ton of testing in markets that aren't officially live yet.
I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM.
If when you are connected to 4G you can access the internet, only suddenly 4G it drops for no reason and switch to 3G and then reconnects to 4G and goes on and on, below is the solution. if when you are connected to 4G you can not access the internet at all, the below wont fix it for you and it is probably a problem with your rom.
You will need your msl code to fix this, loop up in the forums to to obtain your msl code from Sprint:
hit ##DATA# > Edit mode.
Put in your msl code
Chose WIMAX
Scroll down to Wimax_Idle_Sleep
Change the value from 10 to 300.
Click menu, commit changes and restart the phone.
This fixed it for me and i never drop 4g (when in good coverage) again.
Basically Sprint has some STUPID setting that tells 4g to go into "sleep mode" of no data is passed on the 4g connection after 10 seconds which is essentially disconnecting 4g.
The problem is it goes into sleep mode (disconnecting), but then rescans and look for a 4G signal > reconnects to 4g and if no data will be passed in 10sec it will do the same again in an endless loop.
10sec to put a connection into sleep mode is really low so change it to 300sec.
The odd thing is that this is only happening in certain locations and with certain towers.
I tried to call Sprint and explain about this issue but my attempts fell on death ears.
Go ahead and try the above. if it helps you please someone make this a sticky as you are not the first i see having the issue.

I am in baltimore, the first 4G market.
I have to tend to agree that something in "Part 2" is messing up something with 4G. I've done Part 1 and successfully "upped" the radio with no 4G loss. Living in $G Vegas, I would get solid 2 bars inside my office. Once I did Part 2 and redid the phone, I would get "jumping" from 3G to 4G...
I still have to wonder, when flashing the new radio, why (after Part 2) it gets "stuck" in formatting cache and you get no "confirmation" of an upgrade. I am an AnooBroid...but this just doesn't seem right to me.
(Edited) - This post is now obsolete... Teaches me to refresh the page on the Evo before posting!
I don't know if there are more of you having problems with 3g and hsdpa after flashing the new radio update.
My connection type only accepts gprs after the flash. When i dial *#*#INFO#*#* and choose information and tap the ping test, i can only see that gprs is connected.
With the older radio's i always had a hsdpa connection.
This is the radio i'm using: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Roms are different roms with the same issue:
-Defrost 2.0a
-DJDroid v1.0r1
-Adams OpenDesire 1.5 and 1.6 prerelease.
All roms in combination with this radio are causing problems with my 3g connection.
Maybe if you specify the ROM and the Radio versions you are using, someone can help you....

dutch Hi / KPN... no difference at all.. 3g works fine, speedtest still showing 950kbps
Open desire 1.5, h3g data connection is HSDPA, with latest radio.
Well i only see the gprs icon, no 3g or hsdpa here. Speedtests give me 0.01mbit down and 0.02mbit upload speeds.
I just found 2 more simcards.
1 kpn
2 t-mobile
both the same thing, no more than 0.02 mbit up and down. . .
Maybe i have to try flashing a older radio back.

Maybe vodafone 3G broadcast thingie (dunno) is broken in your area?
Yeah mine dropped to 2G All the time so I flash the Android 2.2 HTC sense Rom and pushed it to wcdma only. Works, I think it's an issue with the radio for T-Mobile UK customers

No because he tried kpn and T-mobile as well.
I've always had 3G issues on mine regardless of radio so I'm putting it down to being orange. New radio for me seems better tho, I get H alot more so things work fine!
Maybe the flash didn't take...
I flashed Dj Droid 1.0 r1 today with new radio and ive not shown Hdspa since. I did a speed test and it showed 1.9 - 2Mb, which is good for where i am. I did the ping test and it came back saying Hdspa so i think with me its just the icon thats not changing.
2.2 unless patched will only display 3G icon for both 3G and H. I doubt HTC have put that patch in...
And found another vodafone card (vodafone dongle)
Lets try
I have the same problem with H only getting 3g signal, since I started using 32... radio. So its defiantly not network related.
Ok tested my vodafone dongle, and same issue (from laptop), so there must be something wrong with the vodafone network.
Pffieuw
I have same problem with last radio with ROM Six O'clock AM, Open Desire, AOSP, DjRoid and AOSPDesire_1.2.2.
It's a bit strange, normally when i am in the living room a always had 3g or hsdpa. Now i only have gprs until i go upstairs, when i'm at the top floor it shows me the hsdpa icon, and a speed test of +/- 1.5/2Mbit down and up.
So there changed something. Maybe Vodafone messed up their signal or there's something different with the new radio. . .
When I was using Android 2.1 on HSDPA I could get 1.5mbps
But now since using Froyo 2.2 I can only ever get a max of 0.5mbps no matter where I am.
I'm on O2, could it be the APN settings are wrong?
I'm using a custom ROM
Official 2.2, with: busybox, old A2SD+, OpenVPN (TUN), EXT4 support, 802.11N
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But I have tried a few Froyo custom ROMs all with the same problem
Does anyone know the reason why I can't get faster than 0.5mbps on 2.2 while on 2.1 I could get 1.5mbps?
Thanks
that sounds like a connection issue as in it connects to one network on Froyo and a different one on Eclair. Do you see any difference on the signal bar indicators?
do you know if the APN Settings are different between roms?

Signal bars seem the same, and using the same APN Settings, got them of the O2 website and input them manually.

Used a speed tester from the market
well using virgin media in a crappy signal area i got 355kbps down and 115kbps up on froyo on mobile net. are you sure you didn't set up you old rom to use your wifi and you have now flashed and are using only the 3g connection. Mine is 3 times faster too if i use the wifi!

With wifi I can get 8mbps so its no problem.
It's only HSDPA were i'm limited to 0.5mbps
Well having no exp of this or anything the only thing i can find is this, i hope it helps you.

I had the problem where I was receiving very slow speeds, but on 2.1 I was getting about 2mb dl.
What I did was check my build.prop in the /system/ folder and added the lines
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
this made my browsing speed go straigt back to normal. The market is also fast again. (if you are in the US, use 1 and 11 instead)
All you have to do is use notepad++ to edit the build.prop file with these lines. Add them near the lower half of the file. Then just
adb remount and
adb push (c:/whereever the build.prop is) /system
adb shell reboot
I am going to add these lines:
ro.media.enc.file.format = 3gp,mp4
ro.media.enc.vid.codec = m4v,h263
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.width = 176,352
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.height = 144,288
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.bps = 64000,800000
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.fps = 1,30
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.width = 176,352
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.height = 144,288
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.bps = 64000,800000
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.fps = 1,30
I suspect that I will be able to watch my camcorder files properly now. I haven't tried this yet but I will update with the result.
edit: All of my video recordings and other clips now work
Good luck
Thanks may give that a try.
Don't understand why this problem has occurred since I'm using the official HTC Rom
Also have the same issue on O2 since updating, slow speeds and eratic data connection. flips from H to G much more often.
Baseband : 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
Not sure if this was the same version before the Update i was on a Stock O2 rom 2.1. but debranded and took the OTA update for 2.2
Facebook , Weather and Mail widget all need refresh clicking several times before they find updates (Maybe because of the slow connection??) .
Flash lags the phone almost to a halt. (not related to the radio) and most of the speed test sites use flash so i am not sure if this affects my results but the browsing time seems considerable slower even on non flash sites(flash disabled).
I am trying to avoid going back to a stock o2 rom, is it possible that this is somehow tweaked for their network ?
I am also reluctant to do the Bootloader downgrade which i think i would need to do to revert to the stock o2 rom ...is that correct ?
Many thanks in advance.
@jamesmcuk
I am assuming this would require root ? This would also mean downgrade of bootloader i think :-( it hurts
i'm on orange and a rooted non ota froyo rom
get alot of the G to H changing too but when H is lit it is very very fast
surfing is quicker on the network than on a wifi with 10meg speed
speed does seem erratic tho, maybe a reson of the recent orange 3g network downtime today and official orange confirmation of 3g problems
Hi,
I have some data connection problems since the first day i bought my DHD.
The phone reception signal bar are always changing even when i am not moving at all.
It can generally move from H to 3G a few times, then go to E and then G, in a few seconds.
it always moves, my internet connection is very slow.
It's as if the radio was always trying to renegociate the method of communication (GPRS, 3G, etc) with the operator's antenna
When i am in a phone call, i got disconnected sometimes or the sound stop during a few seconds (the time the radio switch from 3G/H to E/G i guess)
When i disable WCDMA from the settings i get a quite stable sound during my phones calls (maybe because the phone no more tries to negociate). But for Internet... it's just slow.
I tried a few ROMs, and their respectives radio rom (the one with the IRL branded in the ROM) i sometimes thought it was better but always it's still too unuseable.
I tried my SIM card in an iphone 3GS and i am usually in Edge (sometimes 3G) but when its 3G i can surf quickly during hours (if i don't move). This is not the case with the DHD.
btw i am on the french carrier SFR
If any of u had any clues i would really appreciate your help.
Thanks you
what rom are you using and what radio and ril................... now what radio are you on now
OP already stated he tried numerous ROMS and their cooresponding radios. Sounds like the signal is that degraded that any radio/ril combination will not help.
Thanks for your replies.
As said i tried many ones with their respective recommanded radio.
I am actually trying Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M with Android Revolution HD 4G_6.1.1 with no sense script.
Are there tests i could do to identify if its a hardware problem (like standing in front of an antenna and running some special tool maybe)
Btw, i also tried :
-RCMix3D_Runny_v1.3 but does work with internet pass through (wich is really important since i can't use internet from my phone carrier...)
-niarkMIUI-3.9.1
-LeeDrOiD_HD_V4.0.0-SE-3.0-BETA with Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
-cm_ace_full-203 with my stock radio ROM
-virtuous_unity-v2.37.0 with i don't remember wich one...
P.S : i would be Glad to test any ROM / Radio combinaison you would suggest me.
Thanks by advance for your attention
if you tried all those roms and diffident radios seems like its more like a hardware or provider issue does it happen off different towers or maybe you can go to one of the stores and try the phone at the store with yours at the same time?
Thank for the advice indeed i need to try this.
Do you know what i need to revert back for the tech not to tell the waranty is over since i have flashed my phone ?
Does i need to reflash the recovery etc? is there some tutorial in this subject because if i go to the store with my custom rom i guess i won't get too much help :/
Don't even take out your phone, your going to say your just looking, don't show anyone your phone, they won't even know what to look for, just test your phone to the one at the store, make sure apn's match. But if you return your phone you'll need to ruu back to stock. You can search easy s-on

What happens if you manually select 3G only, or 2G only from the settings menu? Does it just lose signal, or stays strong?
Hi
If i select 3G only
I first get no reception (as if when switching from 2G to 3G the radio had to restart)
Then the 3G signal appear strong, decrease slowly in less than 30 seconds, and after all, it seems quite stable.
The bandwidth is good i am downloading fastly
(i am commenting in real time)
Still no deconnection.
I will try it during the whole day and tell how it is behaving.
umm during a few seconds, there were no indicator (no 3G or H), just 3 bars.
It then restarted in H with 1 bar (i am not moving at all)
What will happen if i have no 3G in my area ? I won't be able to receve a phone call ?
Thanks

If you force it to 3G only, and you move out of 3G area, then you should either get a no signal indicator, or if you have roaming enabled, you would get the roaming indicator. I'm curious now because as you said you aren't moving, and it's still changing. That shouldn't happen. Hmmm
