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?
Can someone please explain to me radio updates? Are they the same thing as modems updates?
I recently changed my stock epic 4g to Syndicate Frozen and I have noticed that where I used to get a wonderful wifi signal, it can hardly pick up a signal. Not at my home, but in other places.
So I recognize this needs some tweaking, but I could use some knowledgeable well explained info before I just start updating. I've made mistakes before that has brought the odin out in me when I act without haste so I'd rather not go through that for the forth time
Any info and or links would be greatly appreciated.
Development section?
Sent from the future.
Yes
That's where I found the ROM.
Maybe a special radio or modem is needed to properly supplement the ROM.
Sorry if I offended you.
I don't know much lol but I believe they are the same (radios & modems). Its a very simple flash with odin just put modem.tar in phone slot not pda, takes maybe 30 second for a modem. But as it goes backup first always. Also, hate to tell you but you posted this in the wrong area. This thread should be in q&a section.

I appreciate your response, but I'm looking for more info on specifics. What radio is best for wifi or what radio is best for 4g or what radio is best a custom ROM.
I suppose I'll post elsewhere. I hope I can find the right place to post these sorts of questions.

I believe the radio/modem/baseband firmware has no bearing on either WiFi or 4G.
i know the modem doesn't impact wifi (use the same modem for EH06 vs an EC05 rom and you'll see a difference in wifi signal strength) but i don't play with 4g enough to see if the modem affects anything. 4g is still too spotty in my area to use regularly..

So this is my problem. I never use 4G either but the wifi is a problem, especially when I'm using public networks.
Thanks for the info.
I am using SyndicateFrozen Rom 1.2 and I installed the EH06 modem and noticed a big difference over the EC05 modem.
Do you know where I can find this modem?
There is a bunch of them here

Android development its stickied all the modems...and I think I heard that the modem has control over wifi/4g/bluetooth. I personlly dont think wifi tho

Nope, none of the modems produce better 4G for me. Getting 8Mbps on EC05. I'm sticking with it until official GB.

I know for sure my wifi reception is worse on this new ROM (Frozen Syndicate). I'm going to flash the radio for ECO5 and see if that helps.
So the Frozen Syndicate ROM started throwing an error that interfering with my incoming and outgoing calls and voice mails. I've switched to StarskyROM Alpha v2 EH17 and so far I'm very pleased.
But I'm seeing that my wi-fi is not at full strength, even though I'm right next to the router. I know they say to try different modems and find the right one.
But I'm looking for a method. What should I try first? EH17 because that's in the name of the ROM? Or EC05 because that's in the Baseband version? Or should I go through the list and try them all? If so, how do I test them to see which one is most effective?
Thanks.
Hey guys. I just rooted my E4GT and didn't install the kies application first. My phone is rooted and everything seems to be functioning except for the wi-fi. Whenever I go to turn on the wi-fi, it turns on, scans for a network and then the wi-fi turns off again. Am I boned? PLEASE HELP!
epic 4g wifi broke
Same for me, after Rooting with oden the wifi searches and then turns off, any help?
I'm sorry you're having the same issue. I haven't found any solutions yet. Would you please keep me in the loop if you find one? Isn't there an IRC channel where some of these guys go and help answer questions?
Something went wrong with your flash. No worries tho you just got to go back to stock and root again. Are you familiar with Titanium Backup? If you are back up all your user apps + data. Then ODIN back to factory restore. Then auto-root with this method. Lastly restore all your apps with titanium
this happened to me but i fixed it easily
forget your wifi
connect again with password and repeat it again until it works maybe 3 times

This is good advice. Do what Kogama recommends and you should be up and running. If not, hit the "HowTo's" link in my signature and follow the steps for a Hands Free Reset. Fast. Simple. Effective. Probably a good idea to do one anyway when you make major changes such as rooting or ROM hopping.
after i rebooted the wifi stopped working and i cant get it work again actually..where is this hands free reset i cant find it only the activation which I also did again
Just_s and Kogama - That method did not work for me. By time I had typed in the WPA key, the wi-fi antennae had already shut itself off.
BUT
KelvCast - your method totally worked. Is it me or does this antennae get piss poor signal strength? But I thank you VERY much for helping me. I'm all good to go. Now on to trying to figure out my write permissions on my Kindle Fire =/
for kelvcast's way you have to completely change your modem back too right? ....damn
im running a completely different rom btw...

"Hands free"is the same as "activation". Sorry that didn't work for you. The only time I had an issue with WiFi, "forgetting" the connection and then logging in fresh was what worked for me. Any other data/ connection issues I've had have been resolved via the hands free reset.
As far as your other question, you don't need to change modems, but it won't hurt if you do.

I have the same problem as OP. Rooted using the Zerg exploit, running stock ROM. When you turn the Wifi on, it only gives you like 5-10s before it turns itself back off, also the MAC address field shows unavailable.
Assuming it's an issue with the root process. The odd thing is mine worked fine for over a week, and just randomly died today while trying to connect to wifi at school. Was going to reflash stock kernel with ODIN, and see if it effects it at all.

My WiFi is working fine with the method I used. Rooted phone and everything.
Not sure if I will be keeping Sprint anyway.
Did a speed test on my moms old LG Verizon phone running at 600mhz. Compared it to my Sprint SGSII running at 1.2ghz dual core. On the LG, I get a little more that 1/2 a meg per second (which is decent in this area) as compared to .01 - .1 meg per second on my SGSII. So there is a BIG difference in speed. I know its not the phone, but the network. Going to do my due diligence and keep the sprint phone for at least another day. But if it goes as it is now, I will be going to a Verizon store Sunday and switching carriers again. Sprint doesnt seem to be better that TMO. Sunday is my 3rd day so if I return everything to sprint, I get a full refund.

Yeah it's hit or miss. In my neighborhood, my buddies with Verizon pull down 1/3-1/2 more bandwidth, but my phone works in any basement in the area and theirs doesn't, go figure. In the mid-town/downtown areas both carriers perform about the same around here (Omaha, NE).
Now if you're talking WiMax and LTE thats a different story altogether.
As for the Thread topic: I think I know what broke mine- I restored a bunch of apps using Appextractor, and think restoring the "Settings.apk" in the system section toasted it. I tried flashing a few different kernels to no avail (Did not try the rogue kernel, however).

After following that guide my wifi did not work. Just scans and then turns off. Does not even see any networks. I flashed the stock kernal. Still no wifi. I don't know what else to do.

****update****
Factory data reset brought it back
Guys, my wifi is acting really really weird lately.
I flashed aokp m4 with franco r98, and it works perfectly with my home wifi. But at school, it would not connect even though in wifi settings the phone can see the wifi and its full bars. I stood next to a friend with a gnex unrooted and stock Rogers rom, and he has full bars. While on my phone, it just says that the network is saved. I have been able to access the wifi before back when I had stock. So I decided to try my cwm backup of my stock rooted and still no use. wont connect.
Last try i made was to reflash google 4.0.2 stock image and lock bootloader, and try it with the factory rom. NOPE, no help at all..
Right now, Im back home on my wifi, full bars, and no problems watsoever running m2 with r98 again. but still...why???!!!
Is it hardware issue? How can I test and check!!! i really need this solved...as wifi is like a necessity in life these days LOL
Also, I tried foxhound before i went to stock, and still wont connect to school wifi.
One more thing, there is like one spot to two in school that i would get 1 tiny dot of wifi, whereas every other phone around me including the ipods have full bars...SOooo, any fixes?
anyone help ？

Before you flashed your custom rom did it work at school?
If it works at home, then it probably isn't a hardware issue... maybe check your wifi settings and try putting the frequency at 2.5 Ghz instead of auto? Or try to put it at 5.0 Ghz?
Maybe there are some Wi-Fi apps you can try searching for in the market that gives you more information?
You sure you're typing the correct password?

I'm not exactly sure about the wifi diagnostics app, I just got my phone a couple days ago
I'd say just download some random one's for now. See if the signal that it's reporting is different. Maybe long press the network name and select "forget", then try again?
Are you not getting enough bars? Or can you just can't connect to the AP?
I recently bought a used Epic 4gt, with a bad ESN, I have a GS1 and all i had to do was copy all my info to the new GS2. Im currently on boost my GS1 works fine so it was going to be pretty easy. I repaired the esn and flashed everything to GS2. Everything works except 3G. I tried everything I can think on from going to stock el26 to el29 to custom roms and back to stock. Tried using open DNS and changing APN to boost, with no luck. I have the 3g icon with up/down arrows and they flash. Under #data AAA-passes, it has an IP address, I get both 1x and 3G but when it comes to loading browser page or Google Play its no go. Tired different modems with no luck. I know my donor phone and GS1 are working just fine, with the same info applied as does the GS2. I dont know what else to try, I mean I get text and send text and make and receive calls, just no data coming in even with 3g icon present. If anyone can help me it would be great and will donate with paypal. GS2 currently sitting on EL13 modem with rogue 1.4.1 kernal and el29 TNZ blend 3.0 rom.
[email protected] in case i dont see the reply on the thread.
You've tried switching just the modems too right?

Problem Solved wheww
Yes, did try just the modem from EG30 to EL29 EG31 FC07 and FC14. *note the best signal i got was from EL29 and EL13, but EL13 seemed to make my epic4gt act different but thats just me.
So heres what happened, since i live in a brick house i get really ****ty signal, for some reason but out side i get like 2 bars to 3. Anyways all was copied correctly but since the signal was weak the whole time i was trying to get it to work and didnt make any progress i ended up tweaking my settings in qpst. so that that broke my 3g and when i went back still no progress so i was stumped.
the next day started fresh and decided to call boost and have them refresh my account which ended getting a new msid and getting a sprint rep error 16. after that i had to reprogram my incognito and gs1 back to working condition. and also try to get my gs2 working but this time i had to go back and forth out side to get a signal and see if the error 67 stopped from coming up.
had to get flash prl 60681 to be able to update the prl and update the profile on my gs1, same thing with the gs2. after numerous attempt's i got it working finally took forever to lock a good 3g signal. still slow even in good area but i guess thats how gs2's are. this was suppose to be a smooth flash turned to nightmare but all in all good experience.
if anyone needs help let me know i think i can be of some help since this incident.
currently on Calkulin's_E4GT_ROM_v3.0 rogue 1.4.1 el29 all working now.
I personally love fd19 modem, it works by far the best for me. But every phone is different. Feel free to try later fed modems.
Another thought of mine was, of you go to your phone dialer, enter ##8272# you should pop up with a menu. If you have your msl number you can change some setting. If you click edit > others > multimedia and change all the proxy values to 0.0.0.0 that may help with speeds. There is a legit walk through on how to do it but this is all just off the top of my head.

Yea, I had already zeroed out the proxy settings. dont know if it helped but i did it anyways.
I'll try other modems as soon as I get a good feel on el29 and might give el13 another try.
thx for the tip tho
