Anyone else notice this I used to pull maybe 800kbps now I'm getting nearly 2mpbs is sprint actually enhancing there towers or am I just experiencing a glitch lmao

I've personally been noticing better 3g speeds in my hometown lately. Man, they were really bad for a while there.

Just input your state and zip and it'll show you all previous/future upgrades to towers in your area

Sorry if this is the wrong place but can't post where I think it should be ask...
Does SensationXL Sense 3.5 rom lastest update have 4g working?...HELP before I flash!

Nope, still getting less than 100kbps here.

Yes, this is the wrong place to ask. And did you happen to read the thread for that rom? It will tell you what's working and what's not.

Thanks and yes i did read was not all that clear...said no 4g months ago but I thought that it may of been fixed. seems like a lot of folks on this site look down their noses at someone trying to verify before doing something such as flash a rom..snobs some would say.

I was doing research for my girlfriends Evo, she is now on CM7 and is ok with it but in the past I had put another sense rom on it and she was so happy...well at first but that one was a bit buggy.

Yeah my 3g speeds have increased too, we'll have to see how long it stays this way lol. Right now I'm getting 1.9 MBS which is insanely fast for my area. I'm in Joplin, Mo and usually get between .08 MBS to 1.2 MBS at very inconsistent speeds. About 2 hours ago neither my fiancés phone or mine would make or receive calls/texts and afterwards the speed increased.

Trust me, I've spent over 30 hours on the phone with sprint, 50 hours in sprint stores, and have been given 10 different evo's over the past year and a half. And after all this they still wont admit their network is overloaded.

RADIOS - Flash these on top of any ICS Rom. RIL already taken out.

Can anyone help me with what radio to choose. Do I have to test them out to know which one is best? I live in Boston, MA. Can you flash multiple, or only one at a time? Thanks

They have to deal with the signal and data speeds. The lb7 is the radio from the Blaze and it's supposed to get faster download speeds. I've read mixed results so the best thing usually to do is flash them each one at a time and see what gives you the individual the best results. That's how I came to using the lb7 after not getting any data what-so-ever on a few others

way to post quality posts and get your count up to 10 bud. I hit u up with a thanks too.
I'm going to post the correct definition of a "radio" now:
Radio's/Modems (term used interchangeably on xda) refer to the firmware used by your phone to allow the android phone to communicate one a hardware level with the internal radio in your cell phone. As all of you know cellphones are just REALLY advanced radios. This firmware is basically low level user in-accessible software, almost a little operating system of sorts, that controls the phones radio. Different radios have different features and are written differenty. Some favour connectivity, allowing for you to catch a signal anywhere, whereas others sacrifice slight connectivity for raw speed, giving you better data speeds when you do catch a signal.
On a side note, since our phones are LTE i will let you in on a little secret. When you make a phone call your phone actually drops down to 4g. LTE is not for voice, data only.

The T989 does not have LTE. Our "4G" is HSPA+.

Ok I kind of understand the whole Radio thing, but upon flashing the Nexus rom 3.8 on my T989, my 4G still works. Should I flash the LB7 radio on my phone regardless to squeeze out the best performance of data speed? I live in Atlanta.

Its up to you, but i'm of the belief that if you are williing to try things and learn, as well as improve the performance of the phone, why not? As long as you know how to go back should it fail lol

No worries, we're all here to learn from each other, and you are correct, i was not being sarcastic. I wish more new users were like you and adopted the read more post less until confident approach

I did a test on the 3 radios for a couple days. All of the radios were pretty much the same for me, but like everyone recommended LB7 did do the best overall. I did a few speed tests on each radio in different areas. LB7 averaged the best download speeds.

4G Speeds?

Sooo im sure alot of people noticed the 4G speed drop but what sad is that the fact of the s3 3g speeds are faster than my 4g on my s2
welp time to leave since sprint keeps making bad choices because now im an unhappy wimax user i use to see about 5 - 7 mbs
now all i can see is barely 1+mb on 4g unless......is a hack or fix to tweak this or is it that lte chips are jus super fast
because i did the proxy bypass thing where you change the proxies to 0 across the board a lil better but still slow
and well most of all no official jb and well you know by the time we really get jb
everyone will be on key lime pie lol just saying...

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

If you're in the northern/north eastern part of the US some of your problem may be due to sandy and the associated storms up there. There was a lot of infrastructure damage to the networks of all carriers up there, but with sprints infrastructure being overloaded already the damage puts even more strain on the remaining parts of the network that are functional from users being offloaded from damaged/downed towers to ones that are functioning. They were saying there would be network outages and slower speeds/increased dropped/missed calls from Minnesota east as far south as Missouri thru north Carolina. They are working on getting it back up currently and they are going ahead and doing the NV and LTE deployment instead of just patching up the damaged old towers.

What Kernel are you on? If you're not running a stock kernel, 4g speeds get borked. I got 8mpbs down on stock, then would flash a JB rom and wouldn't break 1mpbs -- it would stick right around 650kpbs. Then I could flash right back to stock and speeds would be back up. I'd try flashing back to stock and see if that's it. If so, the only other kernel that I've found that doesn't break 4g is AGATS FI27 stock repack.

then i updated prl and profile and now im gettting 10 mbs down and 2.5up
kinda wierd that fi25 was that horrible....im running blazer rom ics but all is fine now just have a yellow triangle in the middle during boot
but i can live with it for now until i actually feel like fixing my phone with a new rom and theme lol but thank you

It is so odd how source built kernels destroy data speeds. Don't make since. Its true. That's why blazer ROM always ran stock and it runs great

You can use the triangle away app in the play store. All the triangle means is that a custom kernel has been flashed, doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with the phone.
