No discussion. For those running custom ROMs, please simply post whether or not your 4g speed has improved on FI03 or later MODEM and what D/L speed your getting and what ROM you are on.
I'm on CM9b1.
I get 8-10mb d/l.
Newer modem helped
I'm on cm10 9/29 nightly
My speeds are from 1-2mbs
No real change between modems
Edit: went back to stock EL29 gb with fi25 i get 3-6mbs max is like 6.8mbs . Fi27 is a lil faster but i get los in 3g and i only use 4g for dwnloads and Play Music

Was on Agat's kernel before getting 2-3mbps

Has anyone else noticed a decrease in your data speed with the EK02 modem?
With the EG30 modem, I get between 6-10mbps downloads consistently, currently with NewSenzationV1.5. I tried NewSenzationV1.7 and I was getting between 3-4mbps downloads. I then tried Calkulin's_E4GT_ROM 2.0.1 and got between 3-5mbps downloads.
Am I the only one getting these results?

Imr also seeing a decrese in speeds. I love everything about my phone with Calks 2.0 ROM but the slow speeds really suck! I'm torn...

I hope that's not the case. If it is, I will stay away from it when I get the opportunity to move. EG31 has been good to me and I live on 4g.

I have not seen any speed decreases on the EK02 kernel/roms, however, I am still running the EG31 modem. I'll keep an eye out for speed differences on the EK02 modem once I update, but I will likely wait until some of the XDA devs update their kernels and roms because I do not cherish getting Carrier IQ back with the OTA updates the next 10 days.

I updated my modem and my data speeds are back to normal. I now have the EK02 modem in stead of the EG30 modem. EK02 modem + EK02 kernel + EK02 ROM = 4g glory

I'm just curious to know what modem do you run on your E4GT? To this date i run EL29, because i get the best DL/UP speed on average.
Been running the fc18 and it seems to work great. Only problems I have experienced are because things with ics are still in beta. I ran el29 up until I recently flashed fc18. I also had great up/dn with el29. Haven't speed tested fc18 yet...

FC18 currently on xplod SE ROM. Works good.
Also, fc18 on the Goodness v2.5. Seems best so far but it varies by phone/location

FC18 modem currently, fracking fantastic gps locks, in fact first time since I've owned that this phone has consistently locked throughout a whole day. In seconds. Every time. 6+ out of 6+ satellites.
Tentative opinion obviously. Tomorrow is a new day. ;-) but it seems like they got something right in this build, on the agps end anyway.
but 4G data seems not as strong as signal as FC15 perhaps. 3G works as expected.
Currently on Calkulins EL29.

EK02 saved my phone.
I was getting tired of GPS issues (among other issues) w/ a few other modems, but the combo of ek02 modem and kernel works wonders on my phone.
The battery life on fb 27's immaculate! Can't stay away now if I could get the speed of el29 I'd be perfect!
Tried all the modems and I think the EL29 works the best for me too.

Hello all, I noticed recently that my upload speeds have been floating around the speed that my download is usually at. This started happening about two days before my first root. It's what actually lead me to root my device and try out some of the modems. I'm currently rooted with FC22 modem and the stock rom. Have any of you ever experienced this and have you ever come across a solution? Thank you.
You are not the only one having issue on dpwnload/upload speed. Usually speed control is only done by isp or carrier. So, the best way would be call your carrier and find out what's going on. They can fix it for you.
(You may need to go back to your stock rom and call them. Once they fix the speed, you can go backed to leaked rom. The speed would not change on leaked rom.)

i have better results with FC24 than i did with FC22 you may want to give it a try.
Yeah, I tried both FC24 and FD02 modems, I'm currently testing FC22 to see if it would increase my download. So far though upload is still much faster than my download speed.
yeah i had the same problem it fixed itself after a day or so...my upload was like 3000 kb/s now its like 300 and download is around 400

Welcome to the Sprint NOW dial up network! =)!
FC24 was definitely the best modem for me. I haven't really had enough time to test out FD02.
Wacky u/l And d/l speeds are a result of the leaked roms,not all phones are affected, only ics leaked roms, weird that it started before rooting? I had the same issue, back to GB, no more problems.
Pp.

Just to clarify, I'm on the stock EL29 rom but rooted and currently on the FC22 modem. The problem seemed to go away when I'm connected to a tower close to home, actually my speeds are close to 1mb/s download now. But when I'm connected to a tower near my work the download and upload speeds both float around .30mb/s.

I liked EK02 & EL13 alot. I might go back to EK02. Running FD10 now, its doing ok.
FD05 seems to be the best ive ever tried. Consistent and quick gps locks . Decent 3G speeds and wifi strength. But im in Upstate NY , lol.
I'm using FD05 on GB, no hitches, in NOVA.
Another vote for FD05 for me too here in southern NJ. Consistently quick GPS locks compared to most other modems for me

I'm curious if someone out there in dev land can explain why custom ROM (ics/jb) 4g is so poor compared to stock ROM 4g.
For example, the FI03 stock ROM or any GB ROM will consistently get 8-15mb/s...whereas custom ROMs like CM9/10 have speeds of 600kb/s max. (Some claim the FI03 modem fixes this issue but this has proven to be untrue by many users)
I know I'm not alone in this category as many other users are report the same speeds as well. Is it kernel related?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I believe something in the kernel is throttling 4G. I know chris41g is working on it with his kernel, which is why 4G has been borked in his latest experimental CM9 builds.

Dchibro is correct - it is the the kernel - not the rom - not the modem.
Both above correct, but it is more than just the Kernel .. I asked in a FI03 thread about the removal of the cap and was told the changes are in kernel and in several places in the ROM itself too.
Just happened to me after flashing a new kernel in.
Went from getting 8mbps down in the office to 1.1mbps lol. I think I'll be going back to stock.
Does anyone know when it started getting throttled though. I was sure 4g was fine on cm9 up until a couple months ago....

I just flashed back to stock FI25 kernel from depository and my 4G speeds are back to normal. Was previously on AGAT's.
Theres a vid on youtube that the CM team did and I believe Cyanogen talked about Sprint phones in general saying they was harder to maintain due to there set up with 4g radios.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
yeah I was getting low 3gish speeds on 4g with agat 5.4 kernel with FI03 stock rooted rom. Switched to his FI03 kernel repack and 4g speeds went back up.
I think it's only really been fixed since FI03 came out and 5.4 isn't based on FI03 source?
I get 8.8 MB/s with BluKuban
Anyone know which kernal to use for CM10 or any JB Roms that wouldn't screw up 4g speeds?

I've seen in the Epic4g forums that they've gotten the Nexus S modem and RIL to work with their device. From what I understand, the AOSP Nexus modem works better on custom AOSP roms for the Epic4g than the stock ones. Any idea if this would be feasible on our device, maybe from the GNex?
I don't know, just a blind shot in the dark. Below is a link to a thread discussing patches to make this work, if anybody wants to look a little further into it.

I actually just flashed Blukuban to see what kind of speeds I would get and I am still get 300 to 400 kbps.
The only roms I get good 4g are GB roms. All JB and ICS I get no more than 700kbps.

If everything else seems to be working fine, and this is happening on all ROMs, then it is probably either your phone or the battery.
Take the battery out and spin it on the table. If it spins like a top that means it's puffed. A puffed battery is shot get new one. In fact, a puffed battery is potentially dangerous, it means it's internally damaged. It's possible for them to catch fire.
If it's not the battery, it's the phone, get a warranty replacement.
My wife's phone was doing this on multiple ROMs (including stock), and the battery is fine. We have a new phone on the way right now in fact.

How is that even possible? I'm in a high 4g coverage area and the fastest 4g I've gotten was 2.2ish, with blu kuban as well.
