I just got an epic touch and I love it. I tried to load several of the leaked ICS roms and they all result in the same situation....awful 4g speed. I men really terrible sub 3g speed. I made t test today running speed tests and look at the results....the ones with really low down speeds and insane up speeds are done with 4g on and the ones with opposing results are done with 3g. My 3g results outside are actually lose to decent for my evo But this is a new samsung ang numbers like that are just awful.
With such fast up speed, I have to think that my 4g is in theory working under ICS. It is great when I am running a 2.3.6 ROM and there are no 4g issues. Something is slowing down my 4g and I have no idea what. I even called Sprint (remember, this is a leaked rooted rom) and they suggested taking it in to a store. I may just do that, with an ICS rom running so they can seee what is happening.
Has anyone had similar issues? I have run every modem from 15 up. I think fo rthe speed tests here I was running either 18 or 15. I want to start with ICS because the short time I played with it I really enjoyed myself. Any input would be amazing.

Try a different modem. Fc24 is really good for me but its different for everyone. Just try em all til you find what works best.

i have this issue also 4G down never go past 300kb i live in brooklyn I use to get great 4G speeds but now is horrible, for some reason when i go to manhattan am getting 10mbs down i think its the modem am gonna go back to EL29 and see if i get better speeds am running CM9 FC24 Modem
I thought I was going nuts with this same issue for a while now, since running ICS, it's only related to these exp ics builds, once you go back to GB roms you won't have anymore issues. Switching modems won't help,don't even bother. Currently on Calks E4GT v.3.0 EL29 / EL29 modem / overstews ICS theme v.2.5, you get great look and feels like ICS.

Both rom with 4G (calkulin and UNleashed-Ultra_R2) but results difference is huge. Tested Koni rom and have great results just like with UNleashed-Ultra_R2.Why is that? (looks like calkulin 4G is 3G please prove me wrong) Flashed both rom several time back and fourth and here are my results. Just to add Calkulin its my favorite ROM, at least it was until now.

I am in the hinterlands so I do not know what 4G would be like, but I am skeptical it's not simply a result of traffic on your node.
If you are flashing back and forth, how much time was between tests? Even if that gap was limited to 3 or 4 minutes, it seems hard to compare without like devices next to each other.
How consistently was that spike produced?
Although it's over 3G, I produce fluctuations of 30 to 40 percent with the same device/ROM in back to back Speedtests.
I am fairly consistent over 3G comparing the stock ROM to SalvageMod 1.0.
I think the issue is generally Sprint.
Doesn't meter because at end I tried with 2 phones at same time and results are staying same. Calkulin give me almost same result on 3G and 4G, and that is same result I had on Unleashed with 3G. That should be enough. So to confirm:
Tried same phone
tried different phones same time
Both way results are same
Question is.. why are your results on both 3G and 4G while using Calkulin rom?

I believe you're having an isolated incident, no difference between my phone running v1.8 and my wife's stock, unrooted phone. Download/upload speeds are nearly identical with 3G and 4G.

I'm new to Sprint and just thought that 3G was that slow, but I cannot get speedtest to even complete 60% of the time.
Things to check if you haven't.
Update radios to latest versions (Can be found in development section)
Be sure you updated your PROFILE and/or PRL (though I dont think PRL will fix anything unless you are roaming).
How long has this been going on? Is it possible that Sprint is having network difficulties?
network
Ur internet shouldn't be that slow,,,,, but what area do u live in ,,, please leave a zip and the reason is that sprint is changing networks up a putting I den,3g,4g in one cell site and it will give a range of signal from 800mhz to 4.3ghz from one sit and they have 80,000
Cell sites
yestrue do check the updates or do a ##72786#,,,,, enter msl,,,,tap menu,,,,,select reset
this is not a factory reset. It is a scrtn ( service code return to new) and it erases the programming and does the hands free
I'm on 680 PRL. and everything is up to date on the phone according to all the update buttons(firmware/prl/htc)
this is a brand new phone and I have tested it in 5 different locations around northwest Houston and it is always crawling. when I switch 4G on I'm good to go, but 3G takes forever to get google.com to load even on full bars.

exactly as reddragon said, everything is the latest as far as rom, radios, prl, even the latest hboot, which i know has nothing to do with it, but as soon as everything is updated i try to keep up with it.
the 4g is awesome when i'm on the 11th floor in midtown manhattan full blast i get close to fiber optic speed when i tether... but maybe it's just the area i work in but it has severely diminished since i got the phone. ongoing i want to say it's been about 3 weeks now that my 3G has been this bad.
I will try that reset and see if it gets better and post the results. Thanks for the contributions!
Ok, so here's the update:
I did ##72786#
Entered MSL
Pressed Menu
Reset...
and it went to .10Mbps d/l and .02Mbps u/l
tried retesting my speed when I got home and got 0.03 d/l and 0.02 u/l with a 990ms ping.
When I had did the 3G boost hack before the update, things were fine, it wasn't all that great but it was at least the speed of dial up.

Houston is down due to the upgrade I spoke of in earlier quotes <<< direct information
Can't tell of source but it is true and so chi town and few other areas next is new York
I've been running cm for about 2 years, I recently flashed the stock ROM for my monthly prl update and did a speed test. I pulled in close to 3meg down. I average 1< Meg on cm7, I am posting to get opinions on sense based roms. I tried synergy a couple months ago but it was very unstable and horrible battery life. I would be willing to try it again but I hate the ****ing mirror its on.
That's a very interesting observation. When I was on myn's warm TwoPointTwo I was getting 2 up, 1 down. Now only 700kbps on MIUI.

Is funny that you guys are saying this because I've been getting the complete opposite! I was only averaging about 500kbps on sense and I flashed CM7 and have been getting on average an awesome 1.2mbps download and about 600kbps upload so I think it might depend on what area you're in......not the rom.
Oh I live in Pensacola, Florida just in case you want to track down this issue...
Try one of the team blaze roms uploads and downloads pretty quick they are sense rooms also one asop based on cm7

Since you like sense and AOSP based roms,the best one to use in my opinion is TN's Xplod rom ,it's the best rom i've used yet,again this is my opinion.

If you are talking about 3g, there is no possible way you got 3mbps down.

3g but its mega bits, not mega bytes. Just the unit speedtest.net uses.
my 3G speeds with CM7 were getting worse by the month. Just flashed Evo classic from tommy tomato and my 3g is screaming!!!
Yeah, that 3g script booster thing hasn't worked well at all. Supercharged? Maybe I have ths wrong setting but it clearly isn't helping. So flashing a sense ROM might get 2mbps back?

OK, I tried synergy again. Same results, flashed blaze 4.0 and love it but I have a question about beats audio, I have looked but cannot find out how to change any of the dsp settings. Any insite on that?
Just curious about the "horrible battery" life of synergy.
What are we talking here less than a day, or less than 8 hours (like my stock Evo..grr)?
Bad like when you first get the Evo bad. 6-8.

I live in nj, and i love the FD02 Modem. the 3g is always near 1 mb per sec, and upload about 600 kb. thats awesome. GPS locks real easy, and I get phone signals where I did not before. (aka work) It used to be more spoty, but now, it gets more consistent signal. only down side is that my 4g is slower than my 3g. i used to get 5 mbps, but now i get like 800 kbps. it's interesting.. slowest 4g speed i ever got at my home. but i never use 4g so i don't care. i might keep this modem for good. but i'm also going to try FD05.
how is your experience with FD02?
edit: just tried FD05, and the 3g went down to 100 kbps.. and 4g went up to 2 mbps.. but thats not that great. i'm gonna try to keep it for a day and see how it works.
I just got off FD02 yesterday here is my FD05:

I had better battery life with FC15 then with FD02 and FD05.
I also seem to recall better data speeds with FC15 and FD02 close behind.

oh i really like fc 15, i don't know about gps, but i get real good 3g. probably best i've seen it go up. 1.3 mbps. awesome! i might keep this as long as gps works ok.
I'm chalking this up as a LOS issue because I've had an HTC hero, incredible and incredible 2 on this same account getting upwards of 1 MBits per second and this GS II is getting more like 20-60 kbits per second which is basically not even usable. I can't stream YouTube, can't hardly surf the web, can barely navigate google maps and it takes 2-3 minutes to get a GPS lock. Help? :-(

Don't feel bad I live in Indiana and cricket has always been slow from what I've seen.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
I think you failed to see the point. We are talking about three different previous androids getting upwards of 1 mbits/sec vs. this GS II getting 70 kbits/sec. Clearly something is wrong. It doesn't matter if I have full bars of signal my ping in milliseconds is around 800 and my downloads/uploads are shockingly slow. Looking for a recommendation on a different modem or different PST settings though I've flashed my fair share of androids to cricket with great success so I can safely assume this is a modem issue. Problem with that is that I keep hearing that EL29 was the best gingerbread modem for this phone, really just hoping that someone can help me out.
Chris
I have seen side by side tests that would indicate that the Samsungs have a weaker antanae than the HTCs
Just flashed FF18 with Calk's E4GT EL29 ROM and speedtest.net app can't even find a server. Web browsing seems slower. Ugh
Chris
Have now flashed FC18, FD19, and FF18 (latest) all of which made my ping basically double but didn't seem to change my downstream or upstream. It did however disconnect from Cricket 3G / 1X whatever I was connected to at the time more frequently than EL29 does.
Good grief. I still have my HTC Incredible on another line with cricket same plan same signal getting 400ms or less ping (E4GT gets me 800+) and 400kbps-1mbps vs the E4GT's 20-70kpbs. This is insane...???!!!

Yes, get used to it. The S1/S2 **** poor antennas are well documented. The only thing u can do is flash diff modems until u find 1 that works well for ur area...other than that, make sure ur using a rom with 3g tweaks built in, or apply the tweaks urself. ....im not sure, but u could also try flashin a verizon prl and force roaming with Roam Control....
go to www.cricketuser.com they are a didicated website for flashing phones to cricket. When i use to play around with cricket you have to find out if your APN files is proxy server or non proxy
Thank you so much for your replies, I did get the slow 3G issue fixed. My HA SPI and AAA SPI were 4D2, and 4D2 when it needed to be 12C and 2 respectively. Also changed the registry retry timeouts to match my previous HTC Hero, Incredible, and Incredible 2 at 1750 ms instead of 2000ms but I doubt that setting had anything to do with it. Now seeing a normal 500 kbps or higher downstream
Chris
And yes I am using proxy settings via the app Anycut (activity: proxy settings) due to me being grandfathered into the $40 unlimited everything plan. I know I could pay $15 extra per month for the Android Plan and get slightly faster 3G without the need for the proxy settings but it just doesn't seem worth it to me.
