erm old news

If its old news why are there still so many posts about people waiting for a rom with working 4G?

There's post about people waiting on 4g?

I've posted a few times in the Toast threads saying my 4G doesn't work after rooting and if there are any fixes. I haven't heard anything...if I could get some advice on what I should be looking at doing, that would be great. I've done Toast's Steps 1 and 2 and updated the radio.
Thanks

This is news to me...and yes, there is a thread trying to get 4G working..I still don't have 4G...this is the only thing I haven't tried, although I don't think it'll get it working..but I'll try...

I think more clarification is warranted.
What ROM are you speaking of specifically that 4G is not working? Outside of the Froyo ROM's where a few things are known to not be working at this moment and 4G is one of them.
The 2.1 ROM's having functioning 4G and Wifi Sharing for the most part. Some OTA updates caused 4G to continually scan for signal but it doesn't mean it was not working. It was corrected on some phones by following some instructions posted on the boards for a little while now.

4G works for sure on DamageControl and Fresh 5.3 with the current Radio and WiMax radio installs.
Been using DamageControl for a week and Fresh for a day so far. No problems.
4G DC and Fresh Verified in PDX.

Waiting for a working ROM with 4G? I have used Fresh 0.5.3 and Damage Control 3.2.3 with perfectly working 4G signal. No drops or failure to connect, along with 3-5 MB's of speed.

I thought this was in reference to a fix for broken 4G.

4G is still not working on all these custom roms OMG...OMG....
BTW... I found the search button. I guess I was wrong.

Admin. Move to q and a

wtb 4g froyo rom nom!

That rom is referencing a problem with 4G that happened around Evo's release. It has nothing to do with the latest OTA update's issues or Froyo's issues.

I'm not sure of the exact ROM I have, if you tell me how to check I can. But basically, I ran through Toast's steps (both 1 and 2) to gain full root and installed the new radio. No upgraded ROM's or anything.
I can connect to 4G (at least it looks like it to me) but when I have it on, I can't use any data transfer stuff like email/internet.
I'll probably just upgrade to the Fresh ROM since it sounds like that is the one everyone likes, but as of now, no 4G.

yeah I thought 4g was working for just about everyone unless your rom has it broken already and you need to fix it and that link you put up is way old he updated it today with the fixes

Is there an HSPUA enabler?

I heard AT&T locked the hspua feature on the inspire and will enable it in the summer or so..., i rooted/s-off mine and installed CM7 rom, does it enable the hspua too? Thanks for any help!

Some roms do and some not, i'm not familiar with cm7 but here's a link to manually editing the build prop so you can enable it manually if cm7 does not. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982082

It's already enabled on CM7. If your upload speed is faster than 200kbps you're set

I might be wrong, but I don't believe cm7 supports 4G yet (remember it being an issue with the evo).

Party on your build.props file- which requires ROOT. You will be pleased with the results - I am getting 4300/2100 most of the time and I live in the boonies.

Thanks a lot I will check it out asap

I had an issue where I lost hspua after messing around with some different radio flashes. Regardless of what I wiped, flashed or whatever I couldn't get it back.
As a last ditch fix I restored to stock and rooted again. This fixed the issue.

Same here...

You should be able to flash basically any radio besides stock and have hsupa on any rom. I am on cm7 w/ the radio in my sig and get anywhere from 1.5- 3 Mb up constantly. And yes CM7 supports "4g" the reason it did not work on the evo is because that is real type of 4g, as to where att's 4g is merely upgraded backhaul to enhance speeds. Has something to do with the RSA keys that the evo uses to enable 4g if I'm remembering correcly. If you need any help pm me, and i could probably walk you through.

I have it back now. I think I screwed things up by flashing too many radios. All is well now

Good deal, glad to hear it.

Radio refusing to flash.

I have the right RIL and the latest version of my rom, the only thing im missing is the proper radio. Every time I try to flash this radio it says installation aborted. I have checked the md5 and redownloaded the file twice. This is very frustrating and the I only thing stopping me from accessing hspa+
Im selecting the zip from the recovery menu and it starts and then just says installation aborted. Please help.

You don't flash radio in recovery. File needs too be named exactly PD98IMG.zip, placed on the root of your sd card and flashed from hboot.

you sure you have one that is flashable? Where did you get it?

1. Dowbload radio.zip
2. Rename to PD98IMG.zip
3. Place on root of sd card.
4. Reboot into hboot.

Thats the issue right there. download the radio from inspire radio thread in the dev section. leedroids is not setup to be flashed through hboot but through fastboot as is widely used in the Desire hd forums. not sure why they still do it this way.

Yup. Either that or pop for XDA premium. If you spend a lot of time on XDA, quite worth it.
Nothing beats the full browser-based site in terms of functionality, but XDA app is considerably faster, obviously, for the basics, and links work in the premium version.

First of all I would like to thank each and every one of you for helping me with this, I was really starting to stress about it. I finally got the right radio flashed through hboot and then verified it in the settings. Finally! I'm so relieved.
It's too bad this killed my connection speeds.
I have the reccomended radio and matching RIL for my rom now, whereas before I didn't, and now my speeds are down to .13 download and 1.5 up. An hour ago when I had the old radio I was getting 3.5 down 2.5 up. The radio that was on my phone a bit ago was the very first radio released with the inspire. It was the radio that couldn't access HSPA+. The radio I just put on is the latest realeased radio for gingerbread. I rebooted 3 times and have the same results with each speed test. Also, when I check in about phone for network it still says HSPDA. I was under the impression that it should say HSPA when it is working properly and accessing full HSPA+.

I don't think you can make an accurate judgment based on half-an-hour's use. Give it a few days of random tests to get an overall picture of how its doing.
Personally, based on what I know about: radio in general(1); radio firmware on embedded devices(2); and personal experience, I think the radio firmware has almost no bearing on the sort of things an android user would notice. Without sophisticated equipment like spectrum analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, etc. to determine the exact environment (i.e noise floor, electrostatic disturbances, etc) and a truly scientific approach to recording the results, there's no way to be certain that one anecdote is any more meaningful than another.
1. I'm a licensed Extra class radio amateur.
2. I've worked with proprietary radio firmware before and it mainly does things like calculating the spreading algorithms and handling authorization handshakes, etc. and nothing to do with increasing signal strength or quality.

I thought it was common knowledge that the Inspire was released without the ability to access hspa+ speeds. Then a few months later there was an OTA that enabled it. I thought this was the radio I just flashed.

Enabling maximum speeds / HSPA+ on the Inspire is accomplished via several things that must work together. Some people in some markets don't need every one of these things, but here is the list:
1. Radio version. I don't think you necessarily need one version of radio over another to enable HSPA+, but it doesn't hurt to have the latest stock radio 26.06.06.30. This radio should be your starting point regardless of what your ROM's recommended version is. If you want to flash to a new radio later that is perfectly fine, but you should start with 26.06.06.30 because it's known to work well on almost everything, and is the official radio that rolled out with the AT&T/HTC HSUPA update at the end of April.
2. APN config. Most ROMs do not contain the proper stock Inspire APN config and thus only have 1 APN when there should be 2. In many markets it is impossible to obtain HSPA+ speeds with this improper APN config. Check this thread for the APN speed fix.
3. Build.prop settings. Most custom ROMs already have sufficient build.prop settings to achieve fast speeds, but sometimes you can tweak out a little more speed by altering them. Check this thread for build.prop settings.
As mentioned previously, network variance can be huge. You have to test your network speed over a period of several days, at different times of the day to different locations. I cannot stress this enough. Don't just run a few tests, get an average 1.5 MB/s download speed and think to yourself, "Damn, my phone still isn't configured for HSPA+". It's quite possible that the exact same config that got you 1.5MB/s on one day will get you 7 MB/s the next day or the next week. You have to test over a sufficient period of time.
One last thing: the phone is theoretically capable of 14.4 MB/s but the AT&T network does not support anywhere near this speed yet in most locations. Fastest I've read on this forum is 7-8 down, 1.3 up.

I just finished flashing the stock at&t rom you just recommended as well as reading both of those speed posts over the past few hours. I can say that my speeds are back to where they were before flashing the radio that was reccomended for my rom.
Im very grateful that you mentioned I should continue to test over the next few days because I was about to start flashing and changing stuff until it was right. I have implemented everything I read from those 2 speed tweak threads and I will do some more testing over the next couple of days and go from there. You have been more informative than I could ask for, thank you.
Still though, in a perfect world all of these settings should be bundled in the custom rom. This is very tedious.

what would be your suggested next move for better download speeds?

I read about all you guys downloading 2, 3, 4, and 5mbps. I average 1.5mbps
downloads (lets not even talk about upload speeds). The only way I see yall numbers if I am on wifi. I am in south La below New Orleans near the Gulf. I know I am not in the 4G area (yes we have 3G) but seems I should be getting better. Things I have tried and done. With all this changes and with stock phone/ROM my speeds have not changed. I am using the speedtest app for testing. I have tried different times and places etc...
Check with ATT and I am on the 4G plan
On the Gingerbeast ROM (have not tried any others)
Tried the Gingerbeast radio and ril
Tried the recommended ATT radio .06.06.30_M with recommended ril 2.2.0079HM
Tried the recommended ril for the ROSP ROM HTC-RIL 2.2.0018G with the ATT .06.06.30_M (currently running)
Also configure the APN for the recommended ATT phones (tweak the APN and added MediaNet
Well my speeds have not changes (if they did it is very minimal)
Just looking for any wisdom or suggestions as to what to try next. Maybe this is the best we can get down here also.....I dont know anyone that owns a Inspire to compare it to down here.
thanks

Call ATT and see if they're having tower issues in your area. They may be severely degraded.

If you can flash a ROM, radio and edit APN setting you can edit your build.prop. It's really easy to do with RootExplorer

There are many factors to consider such as coverage in your area. And, what works for some may not work for you.
