I was wondering, i have been trying different roms for a couple of days and i noticed that if i dont use TELUS roms, i do not get a 4g logo on my screen.
It's always on 3g. Is it actually runing at 3g or is it just a bug since im using a T-mobile rom on a Telus phone ? Is it actualy runing 4g ?
Curently on Infamous 2.9.1 with Venom 3 #5
Any advice ?
I was thinking on trying the Stable CM9 next with Venom 6#1
Thank you.

Yes this is a known issue dating back to gb roms. Telus phones will only show 3g but will still be using hspa+ (4g) as usual. It's a cosmetic issue only

Thank you for clarifying !
I am showing HSPA:11 is this 4G?
If not what radio and tweaks do I need to make. And what are some working links?
I have been searching for the Blaze 4G radio (not sure which version I need), which was suggested by many as the best radio for TELUS users, plus any tweaks. But none of the links work.
I am with TELUS. Using the lastest Darkside Kernel, AOKP milestone 6, LLE4 radio.

You guys have to realize that 4g is actually 3.5g lol. So just run done speed tests, that should answer your questions right away.

I understand that 4g is really 3.5g. My question is what is the best radio and tweaks for a T-989D in the Toronto area.
And working links to the radio.
I already understand that in these ROMs, H is the symbol for 4g (3.5g). Also the speed on custom ROMs isn't as good as Stock.

There is a flashable zip that fixes this issue. Go to the Jedi ROM in the development section. It's on the first page under add ons. Should be good on any tmobile based ROM for those of us with Telus phones.

Oh that wasn't directed towards you, that was more towards the general concern of op's.
Regarding radio it really is random, some user's opinions on radios differ from others even though they're in the same area. I wouldn't focus on the speed and focus more on the latency because where's the point of having fast speed when half the time I'm waiting for a response (ping). You can go into some of the custom roms thread, some have modded radios ready to flash. Check out tdj's thread he has like 3.

Excellent. I'm on 3uk and for the first time since getting the g-nex 2 weeks ago i'm finally getting full bar reception at home on hspa. Rooted and using Paul's latest rom and Franco's latest kernel.
THANK YOU!
Yet another KL1 comes up... Sweet!
I flashed the Korean KL1 yesterday (because Wind Mobile users were having major roaming issues with the north american KL1) & Battery life, Battery Readings, Signal & network speed is much better. Best of all no roaming issues.
Here's a link to that 1 as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439217
Will try this 1 later
Thanks! So far so good. Not intensively tested yet, but reception seems to have improved, here in the Netherlands. I was having some issues with that. I was using the xxkk6 radio.

Will this baseband most likely be the one included in stock 4.0.3 or do we think something 'newer' will be included with that update?

Hi
i bought telus galaxy s2x t989d which is supposed to be exactly the same version of t-mobile galaxy s2 t989, but i started to use it on (AWS 1700) wind mobile or mobilicity, the signal is weak and reception is bad, i red that if i flash t-mobile radio on my phone, the reception will be fixed, if that is true where i can find this radio and how to install it.
thanks
Indeed, you can get better/worse signals depending on your location and your radio. Its more a trial and error thing to see which one works best for you in your area.
Check this thread for some radio's information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426001
I also recently got the Telus Galaxy S2X to use with Wind Mobile. I though I would need to update the Radio to a T-Mobile one as well but was pleasantly surprised that for me the Telus radio give me full signal strength and data speeds (same as what I got with a Wind LG Optimus 2X phone). You can try flashing the radio but don't think it will help that much.
thanks for the reply, its more like to try and find out

The Blaze radio is better than the stock Telus radio for me on Telus. Worth checking out. You can find it somewhere on the first or second page in the dev section (maybe the 3rd).

1) yes
2) yes
3) none i can think of, it all comes down to the Apps you have loaded and what is eating the battery, there's no magic ROM that will do that for you
4) only a some stock ODIN ROMs, most have them (radios) castrated to prevent damage to phones, when flashing the wrong ROM by accident

I'd say thats pretty standard.
I am using Telus T989X on wind mobile using telus radio here. For me, telus radio seems to pick up the best signal overall.
a lot of stuff affect battery life, there are many topics with good what to do and not to do to make the best out of your battery
something as simple as a live wall paper can drain your battery like a pig
i'll not go into details, as there are plenty of topics about that already

Just rooted my SGS2... Thinking about flashing a ROM, but first I have a question.
After flashing a ROM, will I still have 4G internet like I usually do? That is my only doubt.
Does anyone know of a good ROM if so? I want a clean, smooth ROM.

Yes, you will still get 4g. If you want a good jellybean ROM running 4.2.1 i would recommend the cyanogen 10.1 or AOKP. They are new versions but are running quite smoothly.

"4G" (really HSPA+) displays as H+/H/3G on AOSP ROMs.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Lmao.. T-mo 4G = H+ on T-Mobile based roms it will show 4G even when it's not on H+ .. because they think their funny.. AOsP based roms are less sensitive and change the icon only when your on H+..(4G).
Run a speed test and you'd see that your still able to produce the same speeds regardless of what the icon says..
If your lucky then you'll be over 22mbs download speeds like I am
Technically regular hspa is TMo 3G and hsdpa+ is Tmo 4G
I have a Galaxy S2 T989 and am on T-Mobile with 4G access. I updated to Android 4.1.2 through Kies and the rooted, and when I'm running that OS I have normal 4G and Wifi action. I flashed Cyanogen 10.1.0, 10.1.1, and 10.1.2 and I lost 4G on all three, even though all of my T-mobile network settings (APN, network mode) were identical to those on my wife's T989 - still running official 4.1.2.
Someone over at Cyanogenmod forums said that I needed to update my radio/baseband. How do I do this?

If not I can give u a link to the radio and u just need to flash it in recovery just like a rom, but if u can still make calls and such ur fine but most aosp ROMs like cm don't use a 4g icon so 4g would be equivalent to h++ over signal bars, I only say this because ppl get confused about the actual icon too and wasn't sure what u meant

Question...for the last 9 months were you running a TW based ROM or ParanoidKangdroid 4.2.2. Most stock TW based roms show 4G LTE for LTE and 4G for H+ (for AT&T and most US carriers anyway). In AOSP world, I have always seen LTE show simply as 4G, 3G as H, H+, or 3G, and 2G as E.
