Yea on my phone ASOP speeds are like like .20mbps on 4g ( not kidding), while on TW its atleast 2mbps on 4g. No real way to fix it that I found after alot of searching. But I heard it depends on your phone, some people say they get same speeds on TW and ASOP. My brother has Dirty Unicorn on his phone and has the same speed that I have on Project X. We are just unlucky
I ended up flashing fi03 and its doing awesome now I'll post a speed test soon thanks for the reply

You are always going to have better data speeds on tw than on aosp...When Im on tw I run the stock kernel that matches up with the rom and modem Im running..So I get my data back to what it was when I was stock...But you don't have the kernel option on aosp..I have seen many people say this modem works and that ones better, but really you just have to find which one works best for you're area...FL24 works best for me..but Im in chicago,so the towers are updated more often..

I keep reading about this modem thing but what exactly is it? And do I need it?
Its the radio firmware for the phone, and yes you will need it if you want your phone to function properly.
it's found between mode L and mode N
kidding aside, it's the actual part of the phone that makes it a phone.. without it, you have the sprint epic touch galaxy s 2 doorstop (well, android would still work, but no calls/texts... it'd basically bad a 4.5" tablet)
So why do people switch em?

Various reasons..
-To try and fix issues
-To return to stock
-Because they just have to be on the latest (but not always best) revision
I would love to hear feedback about which modem people feel is giving the best performance. My signal seems the most consistent on EL13

Hey crew, I found this awesome video comparing Ek02 and EL13
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWS2qr9GMMM
Just wondering why my phone basically went off the grid because one second I was using the internet having a good time. A little slow as 3g sucks ass in my area but now its gone to an incredibly slow crawl taking ten minutes to load Google and another 5 to load a damn simple search. Friend has a crappy evo shift that's getting insanely fast speeds and loading things fine. Same network same house anyone know what's up?

I think your best bet would try and do a fresh re-flash of your current ROM (using Calkulin's format all) , or Odin to stock then see if the issue still occurs. Of course make a Nandroid Backup if you do.
thanks I'll try that but I'm thinking the cyanogenmod 9 alpha 3 first. Been waiting on that for a while

That's fine, I was just saying the current ROM in case you wanted to stay on it. Perfect time to give any other ROM a shot and start fresh.
Just be careful and read the instructions first.
I flash other roms all the time thats not the issue feom what i understand teying to flash different modems till u find the one that works best is the way to go i have flashed about 5 so gb modems seem to work better fyi u can use ics and gb modems on a ics rom but if u r on a gb rom u cant use ics modems

There is no way I would go back to gb ics is so much better even with the bugs I just need to find the right modem i guess flash a new one and run speed test or something it drives me nuts that my data just stops in the middle of something im doing

I've been looking for the answer to this question, but I can't seem to find it.
Does anyone know the reason WHY there are slower data speeds on non-stock based ROMs?
Laugh at me if it's a stupid question, but I'd still like to know...
Thanks!!!

Actually, I'd like an answer to this. Even though I've been reading the CM10 thread from the beginning, I've missed some things.
I'm glad the OP asked this in the Q&A forum instead of clogging the original thread. Thanks for being a **** to him, though.

Even tho I been following alone with cm10 development and what not, no one has give us a straight answer, my best bet would be the reason is that cm10 is only working on hspa, and those that are on a 42mbps don't get their speeds like on TW, it only makes me thing that because the galaxy nexus does the same and is build from Google like that,when you run cm10 you only see H but when you run TW customs run and have H instead 4G, you see H+ while using it,I'm not sure if this is correct but that would be my best bet

Do you think that it's something that they're working on; something we can expect to see eventually? Or do you think that we'll always only have 3g speeds with a CM based build?
Thanks!!

I am on cm10 and still get 20mbps down at the same spot the factory ROM was so I didn't think there was an issue.

I have no idea we will have to wait for someone wiser to explain if that's the reason or not, Tmobile has hspa, hspa 21mbps and hspa+ 42mbps, I think cm10 works with 21mbps but not 42mbps, I haven't seen anyone go over 20mbps, I have gotten up to 14mbps tho, on stock I have an speed test for 26mbps

But yeah its known to happen on CM even the newest build hasn't been "fixed" yet.

Thanks for the replies, everyone.
There are a few build.prop edits floating around that are 'supposed' to improve data speeds. Has anyone had success with them?
I tried a couple and got absolutely no where.

Interesting...
Are you running the clean nightlies or a modded build?
I'm on the latest AOKP from WhitehawkX and I'm getting 9-11mb down. Better but I was getting 17-20 stock roms.

I've seen this asked in a few different threads now and some are saying that the CM devs are not planning on directly addressing this problem until they have a stable build worked out. Of course I can't say how true this is but I've seen it a few times now.

Ok so I have a few questions if you guys would allow me to pick your brains.
I have installed cm9.1 on the galaxy s2 (SGH-T989) using clock work recovery. The phone is rooted using superSU. Pretty standard as far as it goes here. However:
<s>1) I have no wifi calling option and its running android 4.0.4 (ICS). Is this normal for this rom or do I need a different kernal or modem/radio to make this work? Because stock has this feature and its really important to keep message/calling costs down and get service in dead zones.</s>
2) I cannot get 4G data. Only "H" and 3G. I got Edge/2G/3G/4G with stock. Is this normal or do I need to do something else to get this to work?
3) What are good custom kernals to use for this phone because I looked on the sticky and there are only three listed and some are discontinued. Also what are the major advantages of a custom kernal over samsungs stock? I.E. What does it add/modify?
4) Do custom radios change signals your phone can pick up? What exactly does changing the radio do?
THANKS!
~NEW!~
1)Since no wifi calling is a deal breaker for me I'm going to try a new rom, so! I'm looking at darkside and akop. Any opinions on these roms or experiences you guys have had with these good or bad?
2) CWM vs TWRP ~ GO!
Just trying to get better informed. Thanks everyone! :highfive:
Also if there are guides I missed that explain these things I'm sorry just link me to them if you would be so kind. Thanks!

This and stick with stock kernels for now. Different radios work better in different areas, so just try until you find the best one for you.

Haha yea after I got the answer I felt dumb I just never saw the little icon use "H" to explain a radio type and didn't think about that related to 4G as standing for hspa. Also I learned hspa exists using WCDMA. Cool. :victory:
The "H" means HSPA+ which is 4g.
Only Touchwiz ROMs have Wifi Calling (CM9 is AOSP Based)
The best kernel to use is the Darkside Venom Kernel for CM9 AOSP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775075
As far as radios go they can change the amount of signal. Certain radios make signal better in different areas. I PREFER THE GALAXY NOTE RADIO FOR Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile)
HOPE THIS HELPED!
Darkside, only tw roms have wifi calling, aosp roms like cm9,10 and aokp dont.

If it works for you, then keep with it. You're free to try any modem, but you aren't bound by the ROM version.

If you're getting good signal/data speeds, stick with what you have. It really matters on your location. For me, FF18 is the best but for others, FF27, FH13, etc...

Modems are area/device dependent.
Meaning, what might work well for me, might not work well for you.
You can try any modem with any build. Try the latest and see if your speeds improve or not. Might find that what you have is the best for you, might not.
(some say to update profile/prl after each time you change, i for one, don't see improvement doing that, but try it)
: edit: From fi03 forward, 4g speeds increase due to changes of Wimax settings. So if 4g is a player for you, keep that in mind
