just tried fi03 and my 3g speeds were higher than 4g
It's whatever modem works for you
I know some popular ones are FH13
FI25..FF18
I personally use F125..And works great for me.. Also make sure to upgrade your prl /profile on a tw ics rom or GB rom

Imma noob but I've been testing and...
So far with jelly bean I've noticed the modems change your speed a little but the best way to get speeds is tweak your wimax hidden menu. Doubled my speeds on FI03 (best for my area) I do recommend u try ff18. Seems to work best with most ppl. Wasn't my case but it wasn't horrible.

I've gotten the best signal with FH13 so far. I tried out FF18 and I was able to get a 4G signal where I wasn't able to with FH13. Even though I was able to connect to 4G in these areas, I still got better speeds in the same area with 3G on FH13. Try flashing different modems and do some speed tests to figure out which modem works best for you!
fi25 works great for me. low ping and high uploads :good:

Hey everyone. Im running ei22 and i have horribly slow data speeds on 3g. the latency is in the 1000s to 1500s and speed is around 100kbps or slow both down and up. please help. i dont care what rom, what modem, or what kernel i use. i just cant use this like this. my only request is to be on gingerbread and to be able to use 4g when its avail.
Thanks in advance.
Try CleanGB. Simple and stable. Good battery life. It was my first ROM and im happy with it.

All the GB ROMs have 4G working fine. Your 3G issues sounds like a bad tower near you. You can try reflashing the modem. If you go to a GB ROM you will need to Odin in the EC05 modem so you can flash the EC05toEI22 modem.
Have you tried using an older modem? I think every phone has a sifferent one that seems to work better than the others. Mine personally gives me the best spped with the EH17 modem. Flash a new one and see what happens.
I've felt that data is slow on EI22 since I installed it. You may be experiencing the same thing, it may be inherent.

I'm currently on eg30 radio rooted blazer v3 and gunslinger and I'm not to happy with wifi downstream and upstream speeds. If I changed my radio to a newer version will I see noticeable benefits in connection and batter life? Also, what radio do you guys recommend?

Get EL29.
.......
agreed el29 is working wonderfully in my epic.
How dose it differ from eg30?

i'm happy with EL29 so far. My speeds have been about the same for wifi but I seem to get a slightly better wifi signal with EL29. On EG30 and EK02, i couldn't get a signal in the restroom here at work (TMI?). I would always have to switch to 3G to get a connection. On EL29, i get barely one bar on my wifi connection, but its enough for me to use it.
Nothing worse than being stuck on the can without an internet connection.
EL29 is the latest and next official. Most people have seen a significant improvement and no LOS. You have nothing to loose by using EL29.

That's the truth!!!
Can I roll back to eg30? And will the usb jig still work on EL29?

Huh, and I thought I was the only one using EG30 modem. I get the best 3g and WiFi speeds with the least amount of battery drain with the original modem. And I've tried all the others, including EL29. Guess it's just my phone.
And, in the 4 months I've had this phone on EG30, never once got LOS...
Hey all,
Ever since flashing to the new alpha, I have noticed that my 3g connection is real spotty, especially when traveling.
It is mainly an issue when trying to stream music from google play.
If I switch back to stock, all is well.
Even 4g is spotty as well.
Is it recommended to try a different modem or am I just better off sticking with stock?
I'd like to keep the mod but if need be I will go back to stock.
Thank you in advance.
I've had pretty decent 3G service with the rom. I haven't really used the 4G much, but when I have its been solid. I have noticed it does report 3G when there is only 2G service though.
I had the same issues trying to run CM9. The 3g was really spotty and the 4g was downright horrible (sub 3g speeds but ran great on stock). I tried every modem available before I finally gave up and have been using the stock ICS leaks from sfhub.
I had the same issues with CM9 until I tried out the FD19 modem. That fixed me right up. Not every device will behave the same way, but I have had the best experience with FD19 modem with the FD10 kernel.
I was wondering if there is actually any coding differences between any of the leaked modems. Are they just adding a modem into the leaks like there are final ota's? I've been installing modems as they come out and have not noticed any appreciable differences but that could be just where i live.
Most of them are the same but different build number.

Differences
Well I dont' know how much is CM9 getting better. But I seem to get differences in reception and battery life with different modems. Newest ones seem the best. You might just be getting incremental improvements that you don't notice, or service is already pretty good in your area so you don't notice the better reception in bad areas.
I was beginning to wonder if they were just different flavored sugar pills (placebo).

Definitely placebo.
better reception
I got a better reception and speed going from EL29 to FF18. i mean its not much. but went from -96dB to -91dB for my reception.

I'm on [UPDATE][KERNEL][ROM]tFF18 with FF18 repack with AGAT recovery 0.2.1 rom with ff18 modem and its a big improvement over other roms/modems I've tried.. Net speeds are up from around 1.5 mbs d/l to almost 3 mbs and I get 3-4 bars on the phone signal instead of 1 maybe 2.. And I'm in the mountains of Tn.

I know how you feel. In NH and VT, they don't believe in cell towers. Alone with the mts too reception can be really horrible, but with FF18 modem it has improved.
I would like to have to have just a normal Jelly Bean 4.1 or know 4.2.1 experience of my phone. I tried out the Pacman rom and CM10 rom. Both have the same issue. My 4g wimax speeds go from 10megs to 750kbps.
Is there something that I missing or is everyone just fine with horrible speeds? I even tried the temp boot and updated my PRL and such.
Is there anyone running a stock android 4.1 or 4.2.1 with 10 meg wimax speeds? or does this not exists.
currently im running TW jelly bean FL16 rom....perfect wimax. so its not JB.
~also which I found annoying was this was the same issue on my piece of crap evo3d. wimax would go from 10megs down to 750kbps on every ASOP, AKOP, CM9 and up.

Some have said that its because there is no kernel source for JB. So aosp roms don't have kernel source for the kernels they use.

So when the developer of the roms say 4g is working, its actually not?

No. It is working.
Tbh I never fully trust speedtest.net servers. For example.. I have 2 servers in columbus, oh and 1 in radnor,oh near me. Columbus servers are 50 miles closer to me than radnor ones. Still I always get 2-3 times faster results on radnor servers.
So in reality I have a faster throughput but I am misled by server caps. Now i know this is not the case because obviously on a tw rom you get much faster results.
What I am trying to say here is that when I am on 4g on non tw roms, 4g is much faster than 3g even though speedtests tells another story for me. 4g and 3g speedtests give me similar results. I also get faster tranafer rates when downloading files when on 4g.
So my guess always has been that on non tw jb roms, speedtests are not measured correctly.

i live in downtown Cincinnati with perfect 4g signal. Speedtest is one way to check. Another is by trying to download things.it took a couple mins to download speedtest. I mean its like being on 56k modem or something. So no 4g is not working correctly. it might be working, but at 1/12 of the speed its suppose to.
The source for aosp kernel was made from ics kernel source which apparently has a buggy 4g problem... That's why custom kernels also have throttled 4g. Hopefully after jb source drops somebody will make another kernel with the new source...

It's an issue with source built kernels. Nobody really knows why it happens hut it is what it is. Repacked kernels are where it is if you want 4g speeds to not be absymal.

What roms come with repacked kernels? Does that mean just modded touchwiz based roms?
