[q] help with data on page plus - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I flashed my Epic 4G Touch to Page Plus a few weeks ago, and My DATA is VERY VERY slow... Now that I can handle. The worst part is that it is very unstable.
Can anyone help with either issue?
-Speed of "3G"
- Unstable "3G"
I say "3G" because i think my phone only has a 3g image and wont ever display 1x
Thanks!

What Kemal are you using? I'm also flashed too page plus andI see some great speeds

[Q] Is it possible to have 4Glte on the epic 4g touch?????

if so how ...???? i wanna learn
not possible if I'm correct. Different hardware

Whoever said yes is ignorant. Epic 4G Touch is a WiMax only phone.
Thanks ... so theirs a specific chip that is built in ??? and what rom are your running cuz my phone reboots alot on wicked sensation rom V1 ( and have u test it out, if so do you have the same issue?)
Thanks
No it is not possible. The exynos is only compatible with WiMax. That is why the skyrockets (LTE SIIs) have snapdragons in them. Not to mention the Epic Touch doesn't have any LTE radios in it.

You guys make me smile.
But on topic, if one were to access a better network it wouldn't be through Wimax at all. You say this phone is Wimax only, do you not have 3,2- or 1g?

Would like to see this posted in Dazed thread for wicked so he and others can see the issue if you don't mind.
I've been using that rom since it was posted and have had zero reboots. Actually works very well for me. :screwy:

Yeah several people seem to be getting lots of reboots with 4g on my rom and others say they don't get any. More don't get them than the ones that do, but I would like to figure it out.

I apologize, have I misunderstood something?
I am obviously not saying this phone can access LTE..... But saying it is ONLY compatible with WiMAX is false, unless Ive been using WiMAX for 3,2, and 1g for half a year without knowing and without the WiMAX radio not being on most of the time.... And WiFi, albeit related is still... Not WiMAX....
I see more and more of this misinformation and it is not only wrong, its counter-productive. If you know the answer to his question (no, in this case) tell him. No need for arrogant speculation on top.. Or something...
The end

Had me all the way up to tethering with the ps3. I can't try to recreate that since I don't have a ps3.

Tethering WiMAX for something as demanding as ps3 or xbox will likely be a heavy load. Keep in mind , we have a 1.5 Mbps uplink cap.. Its rough, but thats part of why we get our price...

What's the best modem?

Hey guys I just flashed the blu kuban rom and its pretty stock right now,just wanting to see what setup gives the best experience.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
It really depends on your phone and the towers you are connected to. Different modems behave differently on different phones, so to find out the sweet spot, you must try them all out and see which one suits you the best.

I havnt tried them all..but I have tried a few from el29 to FC22 to FD16,19 Fe22 to FE02,11,18 and not a single one has really done anything. Where I live, I am literally right on top of a tower and still only getting about 200-500kbs download and 200kbs upload
it does depend on the phone, current rom and service around you. as each phone handles different. for me FF18 is the best for my phone. but even still, I hit around those numbers and a tower is half mile away. lol. just a testiment to sprints wonderful network.

proximity to the tower wouldn't really matter if the sprint service in your area is like it is in my area.... mainly "3g" (don't get anywhere near 3g speeds) only and extremely oversold, theres just too many people trying to use the same tower... hell i average 100-200kbps down and like 30-50kbps up, reallllllly makes me feel good about that $10/month per line over 4 lines....
Very true.

STOCK ROM just as good?

Is the stock rom just as good as these custom roms?
I love a rom that has wifi, wifi calling and mms over wifi working.
All custom roms but aopk and cm9 any of our t989 have wifi calling... there's also app for wifi calling

If you want/need wifi calling, Darkside Evolution with one of TDJ's kernels and eugene's CUP sleeper app is light years better than stock in terms of smoothness, battery life, and the ability to customize.
I found stock to be super laggy and slow.

I just started using Darkside Evolution with Darkside Venom 3 #5 kernel, I like it but mms over wifi isn't working.
I really need wifi to be working, The new location I moved to has sucky service and without using wifi I'm runnning one, two or no bars at all.

Try Samsung's fix. Open Gmail app with the acct linked to your phone. Send an email with a pic attached to yourself via Wi-Fi. You should get it right away. Now try and send an mms to yourself. If you don't get it, turn Wi-Fi off, then data off, and Wi-Fi back on and try again. This has worked for me several times.

Your reply wasn't needed, Your ass didn't have to even open the post. Move right along!
I'm far from a noob, Thank you very much.
I knew aopk and cm9 roms don't support wifi calling, I'm sure even a noob would know that. you pretty much told me something I already knew that's why I kindly asked about the wifi calling app you were talking about. One question makes me a noob, funny. I'm sure you asked more questions, wouldn't that make you a noob too? Ha, I don't need why some people have to be so rude, keep your comment to yourself. Sorry for having a life!
It really depends on what you're wanting out of your device. If you're an average user who really has no intentions on modifying your phone and only wants stability, then stock is always a good choice. Even with stock, you still have options. You can root stock, remove the bloatware, and if you choose, flash a modified kernel on top for some additional performance and battery life. There are some really solid custom roms out there, but there are also a lot of buggy roms that will cause you more issues than you're probably prepared to deal with. If you're new to the android modification world, I suggest browsing some of these threads and doing some research to get a feel for everything. Start with the basics and work up. Learn to root, learn to flash, backup/restore (very important!). Luckily there is a lot of support in these forums so an answer will always be there.
EDIT: I read one of your posts wrong. Apparently you know the basics. Either way, the rest still applies. Cheers and good luck!

Guys,
I'm on Wicked V1 I love the rom great battery life and very stable.. My problem is that I've been getting about 13mb Download which is ok but my Upload is only 512Kbps.. Why do you think my data is acting this way?

Are you underclocked?(Ive noticed that being underclocked slowed my connection speed) What modem are you on?
You could try editing this line in your build.prop.
Ro.ril.hsupa.category=
I find 8 works best for me but 7 and 9 work well too. 9 is the highest category I've verified but 10 did pretty well on my phone.
Mine was worse than yours and I now get 2-4 mb uplink pretty consistantly.
Reboot after changing the value. Then test.
Use root explorer or super manager to browse to the file and edit it if possible. And always have a recent nandroid handy...just in case.

Also data problem
I hope this post is okay to be here. Can't find help anywhere else. I am running Wicked_JB v2. My baseband is T999UVLJ4. On T-mobile in Georgia, USA. This is about the 4th custom ROM I've had on my Galaxy S3. I really like it because it is custom but keeps some TouchWiz features that I actually like. My problem is that now the data signal in the notification bar is showing G where I used to always get Edge. I'm not sure if the G is misleading and I'm still on Edge or if I am truly not getting Edge service. I haven't yet been to an area where I used to get 3G, so I don't know if this is working. I have no problem with WiFi. I didn't flash any different kernel or radio. I'm not super comfortable with that. If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I am loving this ROM and hope I can get this small problem resolved.

worth switching?

Hi , I'm currently using Lg g2x
and it seems like this phone is a good option for me right now.
i have a few question for the phone.
1. How are the driver and development support for this phone? ( both from samsung and devs)
my g2x is a pain right now because LG did not release enough drivers and we have no fully working ICS/JB and developments are dying....
2. Are there screen burn in problems?? (This was the major reason why I tried to avoid AMOLED phones)
3. what is your general opinion?
Thank you
This phone and the dev support kicks ass. I had no qualms about keeping this through the S3 cycle, and every time I think I want to upgrade, I'm reminded that this phone does everything I want it to do.

I'm in Canada as well(however with Wind Mobile) and so far the stock koodo or Telus radio suits the best(most reliable, no data drops, etc). You may try different radios from the thread below to see if any of those works better for you with your provider. The stock koodo is there too if you wanna go back to that.
Radios in general affect the mobile signal, data connection and wifi signal. On a side note, the Telus Jellybean release is just around the corner for our device (April), we will see how is the bundled radio performs once it drops.

Flashing a custom rom(unless stated otherwise by the rom developer) won't touch your radio. So in theory your signal and other radio characteristics will remain the same. However based on the feedback in the radio thread some radio performs better for some user depending on their location(most of them are US based Tmobile customer). So it's about trial and error, try them and see if you have better results with different ones (signal, ping, download/upload, voice quality, battery life).
For Wind mobile here in my location (Ottawa) the koodo radio is the champ.
