I just flashed over to Boost. What a mind blow that was. Anyway I can send and receive calls, mm, and text just fine but my data speeds are horrendous. I have tried rebooting, reflashing, and updating the prl.
Well we had a thread that would have helped you but an a-hole moderator closed it down.

Oh yea the g note 2 3 gs 34 flash one? Lol I skimmed that one quite a bit trying to get this working now my onky problem is data speeds. Guess I'll keep tinkering.
Are you getting lte or hspa connection? If you are try changing modems if not you need to work on your settings. Wish I could help more but never done boost. I use cricket which is now gsm.

It says 3g but slow as molasses. I did try to reflash the ne2 modem and was thinking about trying mk4 but after hours of sifting threads I'm pretty sure it has to do with my AAA & HA passwords. I'll redo them this evening and see what's up.

Yup. I'm suprsied you have been throttled before. 5gig and your throttled.
So using your phone so much.
yes im aware that they throttle lte after 5 gigs,my area just got lte,ive been on hdspa until now,can i disable lte so i can just use 3g+?
Wouldn't matter. In the system it shows you with an LTE data plan. System automatically throttles at 5gb.

Ive always had an lte data plan on my skyrocket then my og note, was never throttled before lte was turned on
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Weird. Ive always been throttled. Had those same three devices. Was able to get 8-10gb on skyrocket before throttle. Then ATT changed the policy to 5gb for lte and 3gb for 3g/hspa+ while I had my note. Since then I've been throttled every time.
Also just had lte turned on here a couple months ago.
There were a couple threads in the note(and I think skyrocket) threads that were showing how to bypass throttle. I never had any luck.
Found the thread if you want to try it.

The APN trick only worked when AT&T had a soft cap (top 5% of users in the area I think it was). When AT&T switched to a hard cap of 3GB/5GB, the APN swap trick stopped working.
Makes sense why it didn't work then. Only way to fix would be to change in the system then. But then the data wouldn't be provisioned correctly.

I had a cingular life untamed plan and it got changed by mistake.good thing I called 72 hours is how long the csm said It would have taken for it to be non recovarable, so my data is untamed again. Thanks for help guys
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
To put it simple..... that's the way it is
not really,and for future reference,any old cingular business customers should look at their contracts, is it mentions untamed then they cant throttle your data
For some reason lately I've been getting only Edge in my area when normally I get extremely solid H+. I don't know if my phone is acting up (completely stock on 4.1.2) or if AT&T may be upgrading their network in my area, possibly adding LTE. Any ideas why?

Let us know if it doesnt work. It happens. If youre getting it a lot. Thats not usual. Or if it happens in your house fron 4g down to edge. It could be an issue with your tower. Or location. Maybe the tower is overloaded and they kick you to another?
This has happened to me once on this phone. And it was on either stock rom or blackout. Cant remember
Sent from GN2 using XDA app
Well where I work I get full signal. Averaging 10 Mbps down on H+. But recently I've only been getting Edge. It could very well be what you said about too many users on one tower. I'll try tomorrow and let you know.

A few months ago when I had my Galaxy S3 I got this problem out of nowhere. I never found a solution even tho I tried going back to stock and several other "fixes". Ended up having to send the phone back and getting another one. Idk if the antenna went bad or what but even on Edge it was unresonble slow
Well I couldn't hold myself back the other night and I flashed Jedi X. Haha. Having no data issues now.

I'm forced to use HSPDA due to the LTE network being overloaded here in SoCal.
Funny thing is, with LTE on, I avg about 3down/10up....with HSPDA, I get roughly 6down/1up. Quite frankly, I care more about download than upload anyway so it's actually better for me
For the love of god, someone please help after I explain wth is going on.
Ive been running Infamous Rom for a while & a few days ago, my 4g startef acting up. I tried a different rom but no real change. I went back to Sonic FreeGS3 which had previou as ly ran fine but my 4g still sucks. Most apps are ok but Play Store & my web browsers refuse to load 9/10 times. I tried flashing UVLI6 & 5 modems but nothing. Do you guys think my 4g antenna went out? My wifi works flawlessly.
I live in NYC & most people had said UVLI6 was great here but not for me. Please help

Ive noticed since I moved offices, that in my office building I get absolutely no service whatsoever. And there is no wifi password available to use wifi via my phone. So today as I was leaving work and finally got service again, I had 12 missed calls, 5 texts, and 3 voicemails. Is there a better modem to flash that can help? Thanks!
Not exactly. Different locations have different best modems. You just have to try them and see.

Do you think you could message me about what modem/radio might work better once that forum is sorted out? It really sucks not being able to use my phone at work for 8 hours. Thanks
I may not be able to unfortunately. I messed around a little before and got nowhere. May have to start a new map.
Have you checked T-Mobiles coverage map yet? There just may not be a signal there in the first place.

I never had a problem with my Blaze there. Even at home with the S3 I get maybe 2 bars. Which leads me to believe its the modem. On my Blaze I had an updated modem that made data very fast.
Can I use UVLI6 which is a 4.1.1 modem on a 4.1.2 rom I am currently using? Would that be compatible? i cant remember which way compatibility goes :/
Any modem, any rom, any build. Only make sure you use the right models modems, which it sounds like you are

You can use any modem version as long as it's specifically for your phone.

This is just strange... in roughly a year of doing this I think you're the first to report that happening. 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 modems have always worked on 4.1.2, and any other combo has worked as well. There are people who still use the LH2 (ics) modem because it still performs better than any other for them.
I think you may have been seeing it function normally though. When idle, its supposed to drop to UMTS to save power and bandwidth. If you check while a transfer is occurring you will see it change to HSPAP.

Has anyone else found another modem that they now use that gives them better signal/data speeds for their Tmobile T999? My work building is a complete dead zone for Tmobile, so I am hoping flashing another modem works. Otherwise, im not sure what else I can do.
I have to refer you to my initial response here. A modem that gives better speed and signal for me, might be one of the worst for you.
Just something to consider, you probably could test 2-3 different ones each day at work. Maybe more. If your main issue is signal, then flash, check service, if none then flash another right away. I could probably flash 5 different ones on a 15 min break if I was only looking for improved signal. Might be a better way than waiting for someone to tell you what worked for them, then testing only that the next day. Its your phone and your time though, so its your call. Just tryin to help

Generally no. It might affect what codes are displayed (LTE, 4G, E... vs. H+, H, etc) but most do not affect the radio unless you load the wrong ROM for your baseband (xxxxxMDL, etc.). Check settings for APN (can be rom affected) and radio band with *#2263# to be sure.
You can use any modem version on any rom... Your firmware version doesn't have to match your modem/baseband version. That's why people pull them and post them. So you can try each one and find which works best for your location. By testing modems out you can achieve anything from better service to better battery life.
But yeah nobody has pulled and posted them for tmo. I was actually looking just 2 weeks ago. We only have 2 tho. I pulled the modem from my phone which is running MDL but never tar'd it. Was going to pull the other from a tar but download of the tar was slow as hell and my pc shut down (thanks MS for the updates. Perfect timing) and killed the download and never got back around to re-downloading it.

Thanks guys. Just strange my signal bounces around so much from 4g to lte. I live in Denver and would of thought coverage would be great in a big city. Also seems my signal used to be better all the time instead of sparratic bursts
