[Q] MIUI speed boost? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My ookla speed test went from 500-600k to 1.2- 1.7 mbps...
What gives? The slower speed were when I was running CM7 nightlies and evo deck roms which are also aosp.. Both CM and tiamat kernels were used on CM based roms and MIUI
All I know is that I am very pleased... but why the boost

I confirmed the a coworkers unrooted sprint net speed was nearly half of mine on break today.. Still using the ookla speediest app.
I'd rather have faster 3g than battery hogging wimax. But why not both?

3g data speed today?

Is anyone having a slow data connection today or is it just my phone. I'm running speed test and I'm only getting an average of .50mbs up.
Currently I'm on cm6 rc1 with the snap v3 kernel. Flashed the latest radio but haven't flashed the wimax since I don't get 4g here.
Any idea??

I meant .50mbs down. Sorry.

[Q] which 4g Rom to chose?

So I am a long time cm6 user, but i was wondering which ROM with 4g functionality would be best for me to try out this weekend when i go to Las Vegas with my friends. I want to show off 4g speed sadly this means i have to back to sense...
i would like something that is quick, stable, and battery efficient and more customizable.
i flashed the new fresh evo cuz i read it had great battery life.... but not sure how i feel about it.

Horrible Signal

After I rooted the phone I have been getting really bad signal everywhere I go. The Speedtest.net app says my download is about 500kbps down and 79kbps, I have tried multiple servers. This is significantly slower than I was previously getting and is very apparent in use. In settings I have seen signal strength between -120dBm and -80dBm. I have the latest radio, pri, prl, and have tried multiple roms with the same result. I am presently running the evervolv alpha 15. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You should go to a stable rom instead of a alpha rom

Is there any way to boost the wifi signal?

Is there any way to do this in cm7? I know yyou can do it in stock HTC sense.

I know a special trick to boost the wifi signal on ALL roms.....
Get a repeater, or move your wifi closer to your phone.

How do you boost the WiFi on stock sense other than getting a repeater or moving closer to the router?

In the wifi settings you press menu and there's an option to boost the wifi strength.

I think he is talking about the "best WiFi performance" option in the advanced WiFi settings.

Custom ROM 4g vs. Stock ROM 4g. What's the deal?

I'm curious if someone out there in dev land can explain why custom ROM (ics/jb) 4g is so poor compared to stock ROM 4g.
For example, the FI03 stock ROM or any GB ROM will consistently get 8-15mb/s...whereas custom ROMs like CM9/10 have speeds of 600kb/s max. (Some claim the FI03 modem fixes this issue but this has proven to be untrue by many users)
I know I'm not alone in this category as many other users are report the same speeds as well. Is it kernel related?

I believe something in the kernel is throttling 4G. I know chris41g is working on it with his kernel, which is why 4G has been borked in his latest experimental CM9 builds.

Dchibro is correct - it is the the kernel - not the rom - not the modem.
Both above correct, but it is more than just the Kernel .. I asked in a FI03 thread about the removal of the cap and was told the changes are in kernel and in several places in the ROM itself too.
Just happened to me after flashing a new kernel in.
Went from getting 8mbps down in the office to 1.1mbps lol. I think I'll be going back to stock.
Does anyone know when it started getting throttled though. I was sure 4g was fine on cm9 up until a couple months ago....

I just flashed back to stock FI25 kernel from depository and my 4G speeds are back to normal. Was previously on AGAT's.
Theres a vid on youtube that the CM team did and I believe Cyanogen talked about Sprint phones in general saying they was harder to maintain due to there set up with 4g radios.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
yeah I was getting low 3gish speeds on 4g with agat 5.4 kernel with FI03 stock rooted rom. Switched to his FI03 kernel repack and 4g speeds went back up.
I think it's only really been fixed since FI03 came out and 5.4 isn't based on FI03 source?
I get 8.8 MB/s with BluKuban
Anyone know which kernal to use for CM10 or any JB Roms that wouldn't screw up 4g speeds?

I've seen in the Epic4g forums that they've gotten the Nexus S modem and RIL to work with their device. From what I understand, the AOSP Nexus modem works better on custom AOSP roms for the Epic4g than the stock ones. Any idea if this would be feasible on our device, maybe from the GNex?
I don't know, just a blind shot in the dark. Below is a link to a thread discussing patches to make this work, if anybody wants to look a little further into it.

I actually just flashed Blukuban to see what kind of speeds I would get and I am still get 300 to 400 kbps.
The only roms I get good 4g are GB roms. All JB and ICS I get no more than 700kbps.

If everything else seems to be working fine, and this is happening on all ROMs, then it is probably either your phone or the battery.
Take the battery out and spin it on the table. If it spins like a top that means it's puffed. A puffed battery is shot get new one. In fact, a puffed battery is potentially dangerous, it means it's internally damaged. It's possible for them to catch fire.
If it's not the battery, it's the phone, get a warranty replacement.
My wife's phone was doing this on multiple ROMs (including stock), and the battery is fine. We have a new phone on the way right now in fact.

How is that even possible? I'm in a high 4g coverage area and the fastest 4g I've gotten was 2.2ish, with blu kuban as well.
