Hey guys. I'm over on the gs2 t989 side. Just trying to help a buddy out. He is looking for different modems to flash to try and get better signal. Any help would be appreciated. Search wasn't to kind.

its rom/phone dependant.. he needs to try multiple modems to find the best one that works for him and his phone on his area.. everyone will give you a different answer.. why dont u read a luttle bit in our forums.. did you even try to find any threads on modems? seriously.. lol

Modem repo link. Should have instructions and such as well. Hopefully this helps.
Hey OP - Don't know why someone couldn't tell you, since likely you won't find in a search but rather buried in threads, that it has also been found that from builds Fi03 and forward, that there are changes in not only the modem but the rom and kernel as well that effect 4g speeds for the better. I believe that is why elliwigy mentioned that it's rom/kernel dependent, when usually it isn't.
If you look at the build discussion threads, say Fi27 for example, you'll find modem/speed discussion as well as finding the same tests/discussions in kernel discussion threads.
So, in this case, just looking at modems isn't going to give you all the information that is currently out there.
Talk to your buddy and find out if 4g is in play for them, hopefully that will help you in helping them.

yea i wasnt tryna be rude to op lol.. its just every modem ive flashed on different set ups has given me different speeds every time.. and others in other discussions with same set ups ive had great service with others have not.. it also sometimes isnt the modem.. sometimes its the area you live in.. i for one get terrible speeds everywhere i go in phx no matter what im on.. and i have to have an airave in my house just to connect to that.. im always on wifi but data speeds are terrible here with sprint.. so my point was not to not help, but to encourage you to read a few posts like others suggested which should be easy to find.. and also to encourage you to experiment and flash away until you find the best one for his phone.. on another note, you can always try a different prl .

Absolutely. My wording was bad. I didn't mean to infer that you were being rude. It's just that particular change along with the information that has been seen with the latest builds (along with the changes just in fi03,22,25,27) along with the depths of testing with mixed roms, kernels etc, is very scattered at this point. 4 threads, multiple setup tests, what have you, make it kind of hard to follow.

I know data speeds depends on your carrier but what set up of ROM, modem, radio, or anything you think is the best to increase my crappy speeds. Here is an example of my set up and my speeds.
Thanks
Mario
My guesses that it depends on:
How your device, specifically, interacts with the currently used modem;
Your CPU settings, if you changed them from stock;
Your proximity to the tower;
Your signal (dBm) strength;
The strain on the tower/network at the time; and,
Removing the Sprint proxy couldn't hurt either.
I would imagine that undervolting and underclocking your device would be counter-productive in this case, but that's just an assumption.
Your question is borderline the same as all the other: "What's the best [ROM/kernel/CPU settings/setup]?" Each phone performs differently to kernels. modems & custom ROMs. So why don't you try a few and see what best fits your device based on your desired outcome.

Just as a tip if you look in the android development and hacking find the v6script and scroll down to the 3g turbocharger this will help you A lot I usually only get .60 mbs with 1-3 bars but am currently getting 1.5-1.8 mbs with the script.

Find the 3G Turbocharger RC 2 find script manager and find where that .txt was saved.
Make sure you run as root which is the su icon make sure that's green and then run it. Number 5 is what I use but test em all via speedtest.net mobile and make sure you run a test first then do the script then reboot and test each one. Make sure to reboot after each time you choose one

When did you become a moderator?
Your posts were about your proposed solution which works for you and you were trying to help. However it was off topic as it was not about using the Evo LTE PRL which is the topic of this thread and thus was moved to its own thread. Now that's enough out of you on this in this thread. Consider this a warning. Further off topic discussion will be met with infractions or short vacations.

I posted 11121 somewhere in the prl post.. Try that one, you should see some improvements (Specifically in roaming)... These are real improvements because they are the corporate prl list and are actually something that increases tower connectivity. I doubt the 2xxxx prls will do anything because they are really geared towards 1x advanced (new technology they are pushing on the 800 mhz spectrum)...
Just put the evo lte prl on last night and it does seem faster only test I ran 1.8 meg down 534kb upload which is a improvement. 3G results

Can you get on wimax?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
faster 3G and 1X but no Wimax...
if you are in any area with Wimax i say dont use cause Wimax is still faster, but if you dont have Wimax then USE IT my data is ~ 1.3 MBps after using it
Been using this for a few days now, haven't really seen a huge difference. Can get on Wimax though in contrast to what others are saying. Maybe I'm just lucky?
Currently, we have Wild and Doc doing most (all?) the modem pulls. People get busy with real life, and sometimes cannot be around to pull new modems as they are released.
I am pulling them as well (have I5 now before posted on board), and can upload them somewhere for people, but was not sure about public reception since I only have 20 posts. If you want to see some of my other work, you can Google me. You can also wait until Doc uploads his version then verify that the MD5 on his modem.bin matches mine (updater-script will not match).
I've made a script to pull modems, and can share that as well, if people want. Be advised that my prepackaged modems do not create a modem.backup file. Instead, I've created a directly flashable UVLEM zip file in it's place, as I feel this is a better solution.
Go ahead and post if people don't want to flash they won't but I prolly will

The radio will not help with call echo. To some degree will help GPS lock. Will defiantly help download speeds and reception. For echo, make sure noise suppression is checked, open your dialer, click your menu button, go to settings, make sure noise suppression is checked. I suggest flashing each radio one by one, and seeing what works best.

Do not go off topic in threads. If you have issues with something that has nothing to do with a thread that you are in, use the search function or Google. If that fails, start a new topic in the QA section. Not only is it rude, but it is also against the rules.
