So whats eg30 and other egx? And are there any roms with amazing battery life, speed, and 4g, 3g, data, etc working perfectly?

Hey everyone. Im running ei22 and i have horribly slow data speeds on 3g. the latency is in the 1000s to 1500s and speed is around 100kbps or slow both down and up. please help. i dont care what rom, what modem, or what kernel i use. i just cant use this like this. my only request is to be on gingerbread and to be able to use 4g when its avail.
Thanks in advance.
Try CleanGB. Simple and stable. Good battery life. It was my first ROM and im happy with it.

All the GB ROMs have 4G working fine. Your 3G issues sounds like a bad tower near you. You can try reflashing the modem. If you go to a GB ROM you will need to Odin in the EC05 modem so you can flash the EC05toEI22 modem.
Have you tried using an older modem? I think every phone has a sifferent one that seems to work better than the others. Mine personally gives me the best spped with the EH17 modem. Flash a new one and see what happens.
I've felt that data is slow on EI22 since I installed it. You may be experiencing the same thing, it may be inherent.

A liitle background:
I ran BonsaiRom with the EB13 modem for months.
Battery life was great. 3+ days with the "fat" battery.
I've tried 5 or 6 different roms since the sprint GB upgrade, the first of which preferred the EI22 modem so I "upgraded" to EI22.
Since flashing the EI22 modem, battery life is terrible. It may be due to the fact that I live in a low signal area. Battery stats confirm that most battery usage is for phone signal.
I'm now running CM7 and plan on sticking with it. (Is CM7 great or what?)
So my question is, will CM7 work with EB13 even though EI22 is recommended?
btw I've seen signatures in these forums that show people running CM7 with other modems. I'm sure I'll try it anyway but I'm just curious as to you guys experiences.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the modem is independent of the ROM even in cm7. I'd try using the modem that works best for you in your area.
There has NEVER been a rom that needs a certain modem. Bonsai did, I dunno why though. It should've worked anyway.

Thanks for the info guys!
Over the next week I plan on cycling thru different modems to determine the effect on battery life.
Hey all,
Ever since flashing to the new alpha, I have noticed that my 3g connection is real spotty, especially when traveling.
It is mainly an issue when trying to stream music from google play.
If I switch back to stock, all is well.
Even 4g is spotty as well.
Is it recommended to try a different modem or am I just better off sticking with stock?
I'd like to keep the mod but if need be I will go back to stock.
Thank you in advance.
I've had pretty decent 3G service with the rom. I haven't really used the 4G much, but when I have its been solid. I have noticed it does report 3G when there is only 2G service though.
I had the same issues trying to run CM9. The 3g was really spotty and the 4g was downright horrible (sub 3g speeds but ran great on stock). I tried every modem available before I finally gave up and have been using the stock ICS leaks from sfhub.
I had the same issues with CM9 until I tried out the FD19 modem. That fixed me right up. Not every device will behave the same way, but I have had the best experience with FD19 modem with the FD10 kernel.
I was wondering if there is actually any coding differences between any of the leaked modems. Are they just adding a modem into the leaks like there are final ota's? I've been installing modems as they come out and have not noticed any appreciable differences but that could be just where i live.
Most of them are the same but different build number.

Differences
Well I dont' know how much is CM9 getting better. But I seem to get differences in reception and battery life with different modems. Newest ones seem the best. You might just be getting incremental improvements that you don't notice, or service is already pretty good in your area so you don't notice the better reception in bad areas.
I was beginning to wonder if they were just different flavored sugar pills (placebo).

Definitely placebo.
better reception
I got a better reception and speed going from EL29 to FF18. i mean its not much. but went from -96dB to -91dB for my reception.

I'm on [UPDATE][KERNEL][ROM]tFF18 with FF18 repack with AGAT recovery 0.2.1 rom with ff18 modem and its a big improvement over other roms/modems I've tried.. Net speeds are up from around 1.5 mbs d/l to almost 3 mbs and I get 3-4 bars on the phone signal instead of 1 maybe 2.. And I'm in the mountains of Tn.

I know how you feel. In NH and VT, they don't believe in cell towers. Alone with the mts too reception can be really horrible, but with FF18 modem it has improved.
just tried fi03 and my 3g speeds were higher than 4g
It's whatever modem works for you
I know some popular ones are FH13
FI25..FF18
I personally use F125..And works great for me.. Also make sure to upgrade your prl /profile on a tw ics rom or GB rom

Imma noob but I've been testing and...
So far with jelly bean I've noticed the modems change your speed a little but the best way to get speeds is tweak your wimax hidden menu. Doubled my speeds on FI03 (best for my area) I do recommend u try ff18. Seems to work best with most ppl. Wasn't my case but it wasn't horrible.

I've gotten the best signal with FH13 so far. I tried out FF18 and I was able to get a 4G signal where I wasn't able to with FH13. Even though I was able to connect to 4G in these areas, I still got better speeds in the same area with 3G on FH13. Try flashing different modems and do some speed tests to figure out which modem works best for you!
fi25 works great for me. low ping and high uploads :good:
