Howdy, Well i've been a member for a bit.. Just picked up a Touch for little to nothing. Moving from the Original Epic to this. (Was running CM10/Crespo (NS4G) modem. Just finished installing CM10 on this one. Wondering which modem would allow fastest speeds. Any other tid bits of info are welcome too.. Like i said, new to this device specifically. Devs, if this belongs somewhere else, please move and i apologize for posting in wrong location. Community, Thanks for the help!
Módem speeds depend mostly by area and coverage. I remember a thread about modems and people reporting their experience by area and modem, but can't find it.
As soon as I find it I link you to the thread, if someone happens to find it first better yet.
Edit: Finally found the thread.

For aosp roms, el29 seems to be the most stable and fi03 is appears to have best speeds for ics/jb. YMMV. Enjoy your e4gt.

I am in Seattle and the only 2 places I ever saw 4G is the Sprint store or the Sprint stand in the mall.
Soon as you leave 4G vanishes and only 3G exist.
Since sprint is going LTE I will stay with them. If they was not going LTE I'd bail.
Need to look around at the kernals, modems and roms as well.
My ET4G died and got a new one and they loaded with ICS.

Is there anyone running these leaks in Houston? I have tried all modems but just not getting good coverage or speeds. Was wondering what others have used or are seeing to help narrow down some options. Thanks in advance. Thanks to the devs for all their hard work and the community here.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I live in Austin and the last time I was in Houston I was on EL29 about 2 months ago. In the downtown area both 3g and 4g were solid as a rock but outside the loop it varied greatly just like it does around Austin. Speeds should be picking up shortly since Houston is an early LTE city. Im currently running the FE16 modem in Austin with a FE16 based rom and its as good as anything else. Its not the modem its Sprint
Thanks and a thanks sent your way!

Are you making sure to update profile and prl every time you flash a new modem?
Gps okay, speed slooow
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I live in the Katy area and tried the FE modems and they did not do as good as the FC18 one in particular, great speeds and kind to the battery
I am updating the profile and PRL then rebooting all successful, but the speeds just stink. I have tried all leaked modems but think there are so many i was losing track. Thanks for the input and advice. Appreciate it.

How it runs with your phone etc? location doesn't matter just wanna see if its worth checking out
I've heard some bad things about it. It was just a leak and never went official. So I would not recommend it. I ended up having to flash fc09 back on because it went out of service and wouldn't come back on.

Thanks for confirming that different modems react differently for different phones/areas!
As mentioned above, YMMV. But here was my modem test (4-5 bars signal, 3 tests each) using SpeedTest.Net's app in Raleigh:
FC09: 0.69 Mbps download, 0.67 Mbps upload average
FC19: 0.31 Mbps download, 0.5 Mbps upload average
FC19 Tests
0.27d/0.53u
0.29d/0.39u
0.37d/0.57u
FC09 Tests
0.67d/0.69u
0.66d/0.65u
0.75d/0.68u
Each phone reacts differently to modems. Plain and simple. Try each modem out until you find the one that works best for you.
I ended up back on EI22.
Would like to keep track of who all is having issues, or experiencing better signal with the latest FE13 modem (either leaked or official).
If you could please vote in the pool, that would be wonderful.
Tittle should say FH13.
I have crappy signal with almost every modem except for EL29 and now FH13 still kind of crappy but definitely in same league of EL29 for me. I'm at Puerto Rico 00612
Will answer your poll as soon as I get home.

Improved for me pretty much everywhere but work. I roam there now for some reason but get better signal pretty much everywhere else. I am using my stock rom based off the leaked tar provided by Sextape.
I havent noticed anyhing spectacular with any radio since el29. But here in mexico only 3g works. No issues with phone calls or sms tho
Tappin' Typin'
Same not very good usually.

I don't know if it's network/tower congestion or what but fh13 seems worse than el29. I don't know if it makes a difference because I used to run different modems than the rom I was on but lately I've been using the same modem/rom.
Hey guys,
After two years of use, I finally managed to shatter the screen on my HTC EVO 4G. Now that I'm due for an upgrade, I'm going with Epic Touch 4G as LTE network won't be in my area for another year.
I've been browsing the forums and after lots of reading, my head is spinning.
There's all these acronyms.. like FF18 I don't understand.
I'm getting a brand new Samsung SII Epic Touch 4G tomorrow from a Sprint Store.
I plan on using some form of Cyanogenmod if available.
There are TONS of root threads that I've found - Where do I start? Which one should I go with?
Sorry if it's noobie questions, but I appreciate any answers. Thanks!
Read the stickies sections in the forums. Ff18 is a ice cream sandwich build, its just the build date. F=2012 f=June 13th. Fh13= 2012 August 13th etc. Qbking77 has helpful videos on YouTube. Just read in the forums a lot and read the stickies section and you will pick it up. Enjoy the phone. It depends on what build you are on to root. Sfhub has one clicks for every build I think.

You're better off going to qbking77 videos on YouTube. He is really credible and will help you get comfortable with roms on this device. After a few roms you will more easily download and flash roms on your own.

That's exactly what I did, I found that it was weird I had to on some roms flash modem and kernel separate. I'm still getting used to flashing roms on this phone. But so far i like it and haven't had any crappy comments on my questions or had my questions ignored. This is a decent group of people here willing to help out.

I have never had to flash a rom that required you to flash a modem. are you rooted? go to settings, about phone, go down to kernel version and tell me what you see. for me i have fh13. if you are on the official samsung version it should be after sph-d710 (two letters and two numbers no spaces)

No rom will require a modem to be flashed. As modems are sepreate from the roms. Only time you will flash a rom/kernel/modem all in one is the one click .tar odin. You can flash modems independently.

Perhaps I misspoke, I still have a lot to learn about this phone. Either way, point being this is a good group.
Funny part is I switch phones so often ill have this one for 6 months tops. Then ill finally have the swing of it and then ill go on to something else learning that phone. I dont post a lot, but I do a lot of reading. So welcome to the forum!

Hey guys, thanks so much for all the help.
I have successfully rooted my Epic 4G Touch and flashed CM9 Alpha 6 on it.
Thanks SO much to QBKing77 for his very intuitive and simple videos.
My next question involves CM9 and Wireless Hotspot
I noticed that whenever I activate Hotspot, my 4G disconnects and falls back to 3G.
I have searched on Google and saw that this is a relatively common problem, but is there a fix? If not, are there any other AOSP ICS-based ROMs I could use that have portable wifi hotspot available with 4G?
Thanks again guys.

This discussion is only for user's who have had their E4GT flashed to Boost.
I have tried almost all the roms. Including the Samsung Boost leaks. When I'm on all the ICS roms I get a data error then update profile and it's gone for a while but comes back often. I have been running Calk's 3.0 GB and never have a data error.
Of course, that is why my daily is the aforementioned Calk 3.0.
Anyone have any similar experiences?

And how about 4G any to loose it when flash a sprint rom???
bumping this up because I have the same wondering mind as acrown.
Contract is up with sprint, would like to move to boost, but the Sprint S2 is cheaper than Boost's
Wondering if I could tinker with a Sprint version on a Boost ROM.
Guess no one has gotten that creative yet? Too soon?

I've used both paranoid Rom 2.2 (which I'm currently using) and the stock ff18 Rom and have never had the 3g stop or anything related to that and I'm on boost. I also wrote an updated guide on how to COMPLETELY flash that can be found somewhere in the older flash to boost thread in this section.

In order to have working 4g you need to clone or change your 4g mac address to a working active sprint address or a clear mac. Reference this thread for more info.

Your will not lose 4g once you have done this by just changing roms since this setting sticks.

Have tried both the Boost leaks and many of the Sprint roms. Currently I use Calk's gb 3.0 since it doesn't give me any data error's. Since I don't know anyone who has gotten a E4GT from Boost I have no way of knowing what if any the difference is. I created this thread because I wanted to know if Boost user's were getting data error's on ics. Still haven't gotten any feedback on that.

More specifically since both replies relate.... Boost has this with 4G now...I mean same network essentially right? I would THINK in my tiny little mind that the need for a full BOOST flash plus additional 4G mac tinkering may not be completely necessary outside changing some minor things? ...I guess that's more where I was headed with that question, but it will end up rooted and flashed anyway...
Rigel, I'll move my wandering mind to a new thread if you prefer.

Lol. Both leaked Boost roms are full Boost roms. I do know that unlike hacked Sprint phones flashed to Boost the 4g option will start at 55 and shrink from there.
