Finally getting some nice speed on telus 4g - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Im getting speeds over 10 mbps which is what i expect and also this stock ics rom is awesome its amazing how much smoother and slick it is compared to gingerbread. Im also getting some pretty killer battery life.

Is your gps compass backward??? I am a telus subscriber but I love this cm9 ....only flaw is the GPS. Would be willing to go back to stock if the compass issue is resolved.

Same here using TDJ's modified Telus ROM and radio, runs like a champ!!
Compass is still backwards but the rest of the ROM is golden.

I'm in the GTA and the TLLE4 radio is giving me garbage reception. Like at work I used to get full reception and I'm lucky to get 2 bars now. Anyone else experiencing this?

Where in Calgary are you located? I'm in the south but as long as I am north of 22x, I get about double your speeds. I'm on Telus.
In my results, the wifi speeds are with a 15Mbps Telus Optik account.

EDIT: Nevermind

Edit: This test was done this evening.

[BASEBAND][RADIO] SC04DOMKKD and new SC04DOMLA1

I do this post today because I discovered this radio, flash it in CWM recovery and I have awesome results with it in download and upload, stability, and more...
It's not originally for the I9250-model, but for Japanese NTT Docomo Galaxy Nexus (SC-04D), which should contain the same hardware.
It works...Test it...Enjoy...

Works here indeed.
Do we know anything about when this release was created?
My GNex is GSM, VODAFONE FRANCE, and this radio boost really my connection, that's really awesome ! When I go to the countryside, after with edge reception, now 3g @ 1200 kbps down !
In my home, after 2200 kbps down max, now 2900 kbps down, fantastic !

Works good for me 3/4 3G all the time, with KK1 i had 1/4 or even Edge.. and i also lost my connection dropping all the time with Android 4.0.3 and KK1
I don't lie, I think you see that, lol... Happy to share this very good baseband...

I tried this one out for me:
Ping dropped from 130 to 90 and data was extremely stable with 2 bars stable like you normally see with Wi-Fi.
The rest can say.

You should upgrade to the KL1 radio, kk1 is old.
###########
Now on this one (compared to the kl1): ping slightly faster, download horrendously slower (0, 57 mbps - kl1 gives me 2,3 mbps), upload more or less the same. Back to kl1 for me..
Tested at the exact spot & on full signal. o2 Germany
To Vangelis13 :
I'm very surprised by your results for this radio, I've try before KL1, good radio but the best for me is SC04DOMKKD, after one week of try for both...

It obviously depends on network coverage and country - not everyone is going to get the same results
I'm happy to stick to 'proper' i9250 radios as I'm getting awesome battery life with it
This radio works with canada aws bands?

I don't know, i'm getting ok download speeds ~ 6 Mbps but ridiculously slow upload speeds ~ 120-200kbps on full 4 bar signal
Coming from Amaze 4g week back, both these are really low...I used to have ~10Mbps d/l and 1-3mbps u/l in Boston, MA
It is all stock for now..I'm thinking of upgrading radio? Are you guys using some other radio then default..right now I have Baseband T989UVKL1
I'm using the stock radio.
You can try to use the blaze 4G modem just google it most people say it makes them get faster speeds, personally I don't. But I don't really need faster speeds ha.. I've already doubled the speed of my wifi

I'm running Tuesday with blaze modem. With blaze modem I consistently get 8mbps in okc. With stock radio I'd be lucky to break 2mbps

I flashed the Blaze modem, things improved, now i'm getting UL speeds of ~ 0.6-0.7mbps as I tested on few servers. Download speeds varies between 3-6mbps...A little better than stock button..
Its awful when compared what amaze used to pull in my same area...Its not about just the numbers either, I can notice the speeds in which the website load have quite increased too, on Amaze I preferred using 4g all the time as it used to beat my Wi-Fi speed , now its the opposite...guess its kinda hit and miss according to the area...I'm disappointed though, its my first day with this phone
I switched ROMs andmy speeds improved. some ROMs don't take to the data and speed tweaks. Coming from ddw to Ms bluray with blaze modem took me from 3mbs, to 11

Wow! Not sure what happened, but my speeds were just 1 (yes one) mbps download 2 weeks ago! But the ping is crazy high...
Edit: I always get invalid extension when trying to upload a screen shot with the app.. So here are my results:
Download: 16.5 mbps
Upload: 2.25 mbps
Ping: 765...

HSPA+ data speed drop on AOKP JB rom by Task 650

Anyone seeing a problem with data speeds dropping on 8-30-2012 Aokp JB rom on their AT&T Galaxy S3. Mine was 10mbps dn & 2mbps up...now its throttled at 4mbps & 1dn. Checked against my wifes GS3 & its still getting the 10mbps. Tried flashing back to LG1 modem but no luck??

Yea i tried to go change mobile settings to lte but still had the drop occuring. Flashed back nandroid of Ultimatum 1.3 & all is fine again. Do you know where the latest on the 9.2.2012 task650 AOKP JB is ...was wondering if maybe this was resolved cause i sure love the speed & customization of his rom! JB Rockz!
During Isaac we lost data atleast 4x a day while I was on Aokp. I went to stock it was fine .

I don't know how it is for AT&T, but AOSP ROMs on the T-Mobile S3 cannot properly utilize HSPA+42 speeds either, so we have lower DL/UL speeds as well. Probably the case here.

Hmm i would think Phoenix should have good service. Maybe you should Odin back to stock and start all over. Radio is the only reason i can think of that would affect the speed.

How are you distinguishing what connection you are on? Many roms will show H+ instead of 4g
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
I'm on stock. Rooted yesterday and download speeds seem slower now. I will do more testing this afternoon.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
well on the t-mobile variations the best you can get is H+ and most ROMs show that. other than that, try using a different kernel. that was the problem for me where my data wouldn't even work sometimes.
It looks like op knows the difference between 3g and 4g/H+ he noticed that he only gets 4g for like a second here and there and that's it.

I had a similar problem. What happened with me was one day I went from great 4G (HSPA+) speeds 80ms Ping, 25MB Down, 4MB Up to all of the sudden a 1200ms Ping with 0.05MB Down and NO UPLOAD.
Turns out it was a problem with some towers in my area. Took T-Mobile two weeks to fix everything. Not sure if that is what's happening here but it could be possible.

Recommend radio for T989 (T-mob) on AT&T network

I am looking for a good radio for my T-Mobile Galaxy S2, which I have on the AT&T network. I am hoping to improve performance and battery life. Or is there no real improvement to be found? My current radio is T989UVMC6.
Thanks in advance

Now days there's really no radio options. 2 for the t989....the new T-Mobile or Telus ones. I imagine the skyrocket is in the same boat. So you don't have many to choose from.

I'm running the latest Telus radio on AT&T, and service seems pretty good. Battery life has been incredible, but that is probably more of a function of the ROM I am running.

I actually went back to the T-Mobile radio, and I'd recommend staying with it, although your mileage may vary. When I was using it, I started having this issue where I would dial someone, and all I would hear was modem sounds. Kind of a screeching noise. The other party could hear it too. When I rebooted my phone, it would start working for a little while, then start up again. Tried a clean wipe, different rom, etc. Nothing helped. Went back to the T-Mobile radio, and no issues. I am in the Boston area, by the way, on AT&T.
