T-mobile + Telus = 3g ?

I was wondering, i have been trying different roms for a couple of days and i noticed that if i dont use TELUS roms, i do not get a 4g logo on my screen.
It's always on 3g. Is it actually runing at 3g or is it just a bug since im using a T-mobile rom on a Telus phone ? Is it actualy runing 4g ?
Curently on Infamous 2.9.1 with Venom 3 #5
Any advice ?
I was thinking on trying the Stable CM9 next with Venom 6#1
Thank you.

Yes this is a known issue dating back to gb roms. Telus phones will only show 3g but will still be using hspa+ (4g) as usual. It's a cosmetic issue only

Yes that is correct. You are on hspa+ 4g speeds but just are seeing the 3g logo

Thank you for clarifying !

I am showing HSPA:11 is this 4G?
If not what radio and tweaks do I need to make. And what are some working links?
I have been searching for the Blaze 4G radio (not sure which version I need), which was suggested by many as the best radio for TELUS users, plus any tweaks. But none of the links work.
I am with TELUS. Using the lastest Darkside Kernel, AOKP milestone 6, LLE4 radio.

You guys have to realize that 4g is actually 3.5g lol. So just run done speed tests, that should answer your questions right away.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I understand that 4g is really 3.5g. My question is what is the best radio and tweaks for a T-989D in the Toronto area.
And working links to the radio.
I already understand that in these ROMs, H is the symbol for 4g (3.5g). Also the speed on custom ROMs isn't as good as Stock.

There is a flashable zip that fixes this issue. Go to the Jedi ROM in the development section. It's on the first page under add ons. Should be good on any tmobile based ROM for those of us with Telus phones.

Oh that wasn't directed towards you, that was more towards the general concern of op's.
Regarding radio it really is random, some user's opinions on radios differ from others even though they're in the same area. I wouldn't focus on the speed and focus more on the latency because where's the point of having fast speed when half the time I'm waiting for a response (ping). You can go into some of the custom roms thread, some have modded radios ready to flash. Check out tdj's thread he has like 3.

[q] help with data on page plus

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!

Flashing ATT ROMs on the T999?

If I flash an ATT ROM, will I still get data and signal or would I have to change the APN? Thanks for your time!!

Its not recomended but you can, otherwise it will brick. You can still get data and signal ive tried that before, you might have to change the APN to actually fix MMS/SMS/Data isues.

Some people says that it works like charm. That you can flash att s3 roms to your tmobile s3 and everything works.
I had flashed the jellybam from att and it works like charm. also look at this thread that came out on the verizon forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069850

I've flashed about 4 different at&t roms all without issues or having to change anything after for things to work properly.

Thanks everybody. You guys helped out a S3 noob very much.

at most after wards I change bild prop stuff from "d2att" to "d2tmo" just incase it may cause any issues but sometimes I don't and didn't see any issues. I always refer back to T-Mobile rom cause if I'm going to use a TW rom it's only for Wi-Fi calling, and we have (In My Opinion) great devs here for our AOSP and AOKP stuff. If you have any questions post here and I'll do my best to help. I'm off for the weekend will be lurking the forums for the day for the most part.

[Q] No radio service after Jedi X-9 flash

I flashed Jedi X-9's rom and noticed I couldn't connect to the Play Store nor the Internet.
I wasn't able to send SMS but could call and receive calls.

I had the same issue. Try flashing over to the k7 modem. Its seems pretty good for alot of users. I prefered the j2 that cam with it because its seems more stable for me.

Is that what you did, was switch to the K7 modem?

Yeah. I actually backed up when i had the j2 and flashed the k7. For me, it wasnt too stable so i went back to the j2. But maybe you might have better luck with the k7 depending on where you live.

Also, it seems the Jedi X-9 rom doesn't like my SanDisk 64gig class 10 card.. doesn't read, nor mount

have you confirmed you APN settings are entered correctly? these settings allow you to connect to data, SMS, MMS, etc. i'd also confirm your IMEI is still present.

I don't think I had to configure any APN settings. I did connect to my local router.
I see an IMEI preset, dBm, signal strength.
I'm thinking of just trying a new rom.

Connecting to your router has nothing to do with your APN. (If that's what you were inferring). Did you at least confirm your APN settings are there? With some ROMs you might have to manually add them.

Doesn't really matter cause the rom is blazing fast, smooth and has good battery life. Personally i'm probably not going back to older version of android.

So far, non. I tried temple run 2 on highest quality and gt racing 2. They ran perfectly. Despicable me lagged, don't know why, maybe it's not optimized.

Can someone uplaod screenshots from this roms? and which rom is best for daily use? I'm on stock rom, but I want to go on kit kat and don't want to explore too much. if somebody tried all of this versions of roms and can tell me which is best for daily use?
Tnx a lot

They look the same. Psx and cm are more customizable. Looking at the cm thread, seems they are not getting the best battery life. But on psx it is amazing. On any other rom EVER i have never gotten battery life this good.

Dang... No matter what I try, I can't get any network signal with PSX on my F180S. Tried settings and steps recommended by @davevinci to no avail. Also tried experimenting with some different values for those build.prop items related to the modem/RIL/network after reviewing and comparing build.prop files from ROMs that work for me. Nothing seems to do the trick. Looks like I am out of luck, at least for now... Reverted to 4.1.2, which works perfectly.
I am curious, did anyone with a Korean F180x (not E97x!) in Canada or in the US actually make any 4.4 ROM work (not just PSX, but anything)? For some reason, nothing but stock-based ROMS seems to work for me so far. Not a big deal, as I am pretty happy with stock at the moment, but would like to see it working properly on my phone...

Yeah, I can see you are in Philippines. I was looking for someone local here just to make sure we are dealing with the same networks and freq. bands.
The phone says "No Service", no matter what. I did a bit of research on the build.prop lines that you are referencing, and tried changing them to different values (your settings seem to be for CDMA with LTE only), but nothing worked so far. For the time being, I am giving up experiments, unless someone with the same phone on Canadian or American GSM carrier can tell me what exactly they did to make it work.
Like I said, it's not a big deal -- I am not desperately trying to make 4.4 work, but rather just curious about it...

Looks like you added this question later, I didn't see it when I responded... Actually, I tried both. First, I just made changes and rebooted. But later, every time I made a change to a build.prop, I updated it in the zip package, and did a new flash every time after a full wipe.

Hey, thanks for following up! But, like I said, I already tried several times a full wipe (data, cache, system) before flashing the ROM with tweaked build.prop.
I just need a stable working phone now, so I wont be experimenting with it for some time...
