Really slow download/internet speed!!! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi, I posted in the arhd thread but thought I would also post here as it was happening before I flashed the rom.
Right, so today I was on stock 4.0.2 unrooted and locked boot loader, I then decided that I just couldn't wait for the 4.0.4 update and gave into my inside rommer and done it manually.
I unlocked the boot loader and rooted , I then flashed the 4.0.4 update which went fine in itself but I noticed my download speeds and internet browsing was Mega sloooooow.
So I decided to flash android revolution HD 3.0, once again the flash went fine and the phone feels snappier but my bad download speed and internet speeds are just crap basically, it took nearly 5 mins to download the xda app from the market tut.
It wasn't like this this afternoon, its only happened since I changed to 4.0.4??? Just done a speed test and I'm getting 225 kbs download speed and 620 upload speed, if that means anything??? I'm not on wifi, I'm using 3g network.
Does anyone have a clue what's going on?? Or can advise me to sort it out??
Oh by the way I have not flashed any kernels or anything , all I done was flash the rom?
So any helpful advice would be welcomed
Many thanks
Darren

Maybe your over your monthly carrier cap and your connection gets throtteled, check your data plan just to make sure.

I'm on 3uk all you can eat unlimited data plan which means its totally unlimited, I haven't done much downloading this month either

[Q] Only Getting 1g service with CyanogenMod

I just flashed Cyanogen RC2 and I am not able to get 3g. Where the 3g should be there is only a "1x". The data works but is incredibly slow, I asked a friend and he said that I might need to flash the new radio. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks a bunch
What is your current radio?? When you flashed CM it comes with current one..

Are you in an area with a bad signal? At work when I'm not near a window my connection will sometimes drop to that level.
No I have full service and I did a speed test and I got 1 KB/s dload speed

I've had that happen and what I did was luck mobile data off, wait a bit, then enable it again.

This was happening to me to, on every rom. The other phone on my account was faster to...odd. So I called Sprint and they "refreshed my data services". Flawless now. Now its says 3g instead of 1x. Stoked

is there any risk involved in this? eg. can they tell I'm rooted/running a custom rom? sorry I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff.
Also when I go to wireless settings there is no option for mobile data

Well don't mention it to them make sure you have a rom that has the option to update your prl, and profile. Because they'll want you to do it. Fare warning, they'll want you to update the firmware. I just went with it, but it didn't go through. It said "there is no system update". So it all worked out.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
This has been happening to me, too. I tried different radios, prl, etc.. with no changes. I even went back to a rooted 3.26 rom and let the phone update the firmware and everything it wanted to with no change in signal. The Sprint tech said everything looked fine on his end after having me update profile, prl, check for software and firmware upgrades. I can't remember what he called it but basically he reactivated my phone as a last step.
CM and mobile signal widget show 1x and when I go to ##debug# (on sense) and check EVDO engineering every field shows <failed>
When I get time I am going to go to Best Buy and hope their insurance works well.
That's weird because when I go to another rom like fresh my 3g works fine its just on cyanogen that my phone has this hiccup

Why has the G2 slowed down after the OTA update?

I did a thread on this before but on the wrong section here are one of the response I got:
Do a full wipe and start fresh....totally from scratch. My phone did that too one time it just ran like ass for some reason. I did a full wipe etc and it seemed to fix it.
Nonsense!

Did that, and got a new G2 replacement with the OTA Update preinstall and I still get the same low scores that I would normally score 300+ higher before the update, I get 1700 @ 1ghz o/c while I would get around 1600-1700 before the update @ 800mhz stock and around 1900s @ 1ghz o/c :s, could it be the tethering and wifi calling capabilities added on the OTA update that slowed the phone down?

There is differing opinions on this, but the popular consensus is that quadrant scores are worthless. They do not reflect real world use at all. There really just good for circle jerking with your friends and saying "Oh my phone is better, no MINE!" . I have actually used roms that got a THOUSAND less in quadrant, yet felt faster and worked better in real world use. So my advice would be dont rely on quadrant so heavily to decide what is the best rom I made that mistake myself.

Well I'm on stock, not using any roms
And than again I don't rely much on quadrant but, the phone is definately slower, it use to be faster before the update. I strongly believe is the update that slowed the phone down, many people have also notice this.

Did it and the phone did scores higher than it did before I wipe the cache out, thnx, but I still got higher numbers before the update. I really do believe the update slowed down the phone because of the addition of wifi calling and tethering, if not than what did.

Radio LOSS and LTE issuez

Hello,
I recently flashed patient zero with the 4.04 system and radios.. ever since then I get signal loss and have to restart my phone as well as when I turn on LTE and there's no 4G signal it won't switch back to 4G.. I posted this question on Droidhive but haven't received a response. Wondering if anyone else is seeing this issue with 4.04. Thanks!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Have you just tried to return to stock? Or at least re-flashing the ROM?
Your on patient zero man... its way less stable than crossbreed . Hence why Droid theory said its for crack flashers who don't mind a few bugs because it has more features.
I'm also on Patient Zero; same thing happens to me. Its a deal with and wait till next build or swap roms
Did you flash the "get ready.zip"? It has the 4.04 radio and baseband . Once I did that I got way less drop outs.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yeah I flashed the get ready package before flashing the rom..

Slow Upload 512Kbps.. On wicked rom V1 Help!!

Guys,
I'm on Wicked V1 I love the rom great battery life and very stable.. My problem is that I've been getting about 13mb Download which is ok but my Upload is only 512Kbps.. Why do you think my data is acting this way?
The download got a bit faster after installing a new radio but not the upload..

Are you underclocked?(Ive noticed that being underclocked slowed my connection speed) What modem are you on?
You could try editing this line in your build.prop.
Ro.ril.hsupa.category=
I find 8 works best for me but 7 and 9 work well too. 9 is the highest category I've verified but 10 did pretty well on my phone.
Mine was worse than yours and I now get 2-4 mb uplink pretty consistantly.
Reboot after changing the value. Then test.
Use root explorer or super manager to browse to the file and edit it if possible. And always have a recent nandroid handy...just in case.

Also data problem
I hope this post is okay to be here. Can't find help anywhere else. I am running Wicked_JB v2. My baseband is T999UVLJ4. On T-mobile in Georgia, USA. This is about the 4th custom ROM I've had on my Galaxy S3. I really like it because it is custom but keeps some TouchWiz features that I actually like. My problem is that now the data signal in the notification bar is showing G where I used to always get Edge. I'm not sure if the G is misleading and I'm still on Edge or if I am truly not getting Edge service. I haven't yet been to an area where I used to get 3G, so I don't know if this is working. I have no problem with WiFi. I didn't flash any different kernel or radio. I'm not super comfortable with that. If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I am loving this ROM and hope I can get this small problem resolved.

Accidentally flashed t989 plus Rom but......

So when i went to flash my phone back to stock, I went to the official Sammy website and thought I downloaded the correct t989 firmware, and flashed the s2 plus Rom and I noticed when it boot with the s2 plus boot animation. I thought I messed it up, but it boot perfectly and its smooth as jelly but what got me is the internet speed. I've never been able to touch 6mbps, 500kbps upload let alone 14mbps and 2mbps upload average! just wondering if this had been stated somewhere before?

take a screen shot lets see what you are working with sounds very interesting brother
Sorry bro, I just flashed back to cm, but I can if it's worth it reflash the s2 plus Rom again just to show you, it was just an accident but it worked so much better than stock tmobile, and the speeds were reaching 18mbps plus! It's crazy cause now I'm back on cm, I'm back at the usual 6, and I think the carrier Rom was from VTR...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
that sounds awesome bro show me the ROM/link you flashed i might give it a whirl as far as performance goes, because i have a micro sim so i cant slap it in my s2 no more but what you are saying kinda blows me away lol
Yeah it was just on the Sammy website, you can download it and flash via Odin, just choose the s2 plus Rom. I'm telling you it was wicked fast and the internet speed blew me away.

I'm calling bull. Is that the one from the international GS2 HD LTE PLUS?
OK, let's not encourage anyone to flash ROMs for other devices and making paperweights
As this will now deteriorate let's just close this and say the OP got lucky
Thank you for your cooperation
