I'm using the white nexus s on AT&T and my downloads speeds aren't bad..say 2-3mbps, but my uploads are .23...39..15..32mbps on average.
My nexus one consistently would avg 3-5 down and 1+ up. My wife's iph 4 is even killing this thing.
I know I can root, install custom, etc but I don't want to. Just looking for stock experiences. btw..i am testing in strong signal areas.
Thanks
The stock radio firmware limits upload speeds. I successfully flashed the XXKB1 and XXKB3 radios on my phone and data speeds improved when I was on Android 2.3.3. I'm not sure if those radios work on 2.3.4.
But in order to flash i need be rooted?

I just flashed the radio and have 2.11.605.5 on my Thunderbolt. I flashed the CDMA and LTE files as well (found it here and was told it was the same as the 2.11.605.3 files). Everything works great on this phone now (using Thunderstick ROM) but I'm having difficulty with the 3G and LTE modes. 3G doesn't seem to work at all and LTE is very slow (about 2Mbps max).
Prior to flashing the radio (to MR4) and using this custom ROM, I was using MR2 and my speeds were hitting 40Mbps+.
I thought I almost bricked my phone this past weekend but thankfully found that downgrade to 2.11.605.5. Is there a list of radio files (CDMA/LTE) that are safe to flash for 2.11.605.5? I know different radios have different results so I want to give them a try. I'm on the East Coast and in New York I got 2Mbps, but I work in New Jersey during the weekdays and I get no signal at all here for data (still have voice).
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
What are you using to test internet speeds?

I usually use SpeedTest for all my speed tests. I read somewhere that it's not that accurate for 4G testing, but I've used it many times in my area and when it says the speed is fast, it is (downloads and everything). I was downloading some apps from the market yesterday and it was much slower than usual.
I'm sure it's the radio issue also because now I don't get any signal here in New Jersey when I usually just get a weaker 4G signal.
I flashed the following CDMA/LTE files in bold:
From the 2.11.605.3 RUU:
CDMA: 1.48.00.0906
md5: c6a5a9eee78e0f33267fa80ced3c49b8
LTE: 0.01.78.0906
md5: 6f33809cf2253c38a3c6bb970f030eee
From the 2.11.605.5 RUU:
CDMA: has the same CDMA radio as the 2.11.605.3 RUU
LTE: has the same LTE radio as the 2.11.605.3 RUU

Why don't I have any 3G signal at all even after I flashed that also? Is it safe for me to use the other radio files or it will risk bricking my phone? Or does that only apply for RUU flashes (those are the huge 400MB files)?
Thanks.

Not sure what you mean. To run a speedtest?
I want to flash to another radio to see if it gives me faster speeds. I know to be more careful with the RUU firmware (huge) files. Is it safe to assume that flashing the radio (the small file for CDMA/LTE) won't brick my phone? Are there any recommended for 2.11.605.5 RUU?
Thanks.
UPDATE: Had some time and read up on the posts in the forum. Ran the Comcast Xfinity speedtest from the phone's browser and it's definitely not the speed expected (around 6Mbps...compared to 40Mbps+). Installed the latest MR4 radio files again and also used leanKernel 6.1. Ran speedtest from Comcast again and getting mixed results (20Mbps+ and 30Mbps+). Have to settle with that now
4g issues
I am currently using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003891 and I flashed the radios both lte and CDMA and i have no 4g connectivity. I have been working on this but im a noob and kinda lost. I would greatly appreciate if someone could help this ignorant marine out...my device is the thunderbolt software number 2.11.605.5 baseband version 1.48.00.0906w_1, 0.01.78.0906w_2 kernel version 2.6.35.10-ck3+...hope that helps you help me
make sure you dont have the MR4 stock kernel on your thunderstick rom
cause he did package that for awhile and the mr4 kernel from what ive been told throttles speeds down to 2 or 3 mbps but if you get imos 6.2 kernel it will shoot back up to what it was before
Just ran a speed test on speakeasy while on stock MR4 kernel, got 8.4mbs. If it does throttle, it is not that low.

But when you use imos kernel it goes up even higher just check it out

Thanks, I will give it a try.
Edit: faster speeds confirmed on imo's kernel: up to 10mbs from about 5 on stock.

OK, so I'm trying to round up all of those who are experiencing the 3g/4g radio switching bug. In a nutshell, it's this:
In the middle of a data-intensive process, the radio will switch several times from 3g to 4g to 3g to 4g, and over and over again. Often, it will cause disconnects, failed downloads, and interrupted streaming audio, etc.
If you are experiencing this bug, please post in this thread, and be sure to include whether you have the US or EU version of the phone. I want to consolidate all those with the problem into a large thread, so it can get more visibility.
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem with my One S.
When the phone idle, the connection is 3G but when i use the data, it switch to 4G/3G/4G/etc...
As you said, it cause disconnects and and sometimes resolving errors.
My phone :
HTC One S 1.53.401.2 (stock rom)
Kernel : 3.0.8-01050-ge2a40ab
Baseband : 0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S.06L
Build : 1.53.401.2.CL47230
Operator : Free (France)
Same problem, with a SH23 EU phone and firmware version 1.53.401.2.
It switches from 3G and H (which is more 3.5G or 3G+ than 4G here), but I didn't experienced connexions problems (but haven't had many opportunities till now)
EDIT: Sorry, didn't see that another thread already exists in General forum.
same issue here, same firmware

I'm with the same phone and same behavior exactly.
I've already notified HTC about t a week or more ago.
I believe this is due to EU software. My reasoning is this:
On my T-MOUS One S, everything is fine on stock firmware with root. I NEVER experience this problem, the only switching I ever get is when I'm on a fringe area with NO 3/3.5G. As soon as I flash a rom that is based on EU firmware (all of them basically), I can't run speedtests without data being interrupted and the status bar shows switching from H to 3G repeatedly. No, this is not a scientific test by any means, but once again I have no problems whatsoever on my T-Mobile US stock rom.
T mobile does have the bug
It is because the T Mobile base is programmed to not switch from 4g but I assure you I own the phone and if you do speed test you will see this bug is definitely present..
I've been doing speedtests since I bought the phone.. it never happens on mine
whether you like it or not..
Guess you have the magic device that does not have the bug which everyone else has..even though tmobile acknowledged the issue already as well as the people with the EU version which also has the bug..

I'm on AT&T in Orlando. I haven't tested the speed of the phone in a while, but when I got it last July time frame, I recall getting about 20 Mpbs down and 15 or so up. I just flashed to the ViperXL 3.1.0 rom over the weekend, and tested in two different areas around Orlando. I was getting about 10 Mbps down and about 10 down. I tried different servers, with no change. Is it possible for a custom rom to impact network speed? I made sure to select the AT&T radio / icons when installing the rom.....
I have the same question. I only get 1-2 Mbps down after jb flash

No, but I have noticed that it's always been the same after CM10.
Alright so ive been looking and looking and i havent had much luck. Is there just not much support for the moto g boost mobile variant? am i just over looking or what?
We have Roms, recoveries, etc.. What more do you need?
Sent from my XT1031 using Tapatalk
I didnt see a lot for the xt1031 aswell just the 1032 and 1034. Im guessing their not interchangeable. I am looking to purchase a moto g but have decide which one and also not sure how the hspa compares to lte on metro
They roms for the most part are interchangeable, (falcon).
So if someone has a boost moto g and flashes a verizon version rom they wont boot loop or brick their phones?
I know the S3 was not able to do that between carriers thats why Im asking
Aosp/cm based ROMs seem to be interchangeable. Do not go flashing official ota updates from carrier to another.

For Metro, I'd stick with the 1032 or 1034 (International GSM (also the Google Play Edition) and US GSM version). Metro won't support the CDMA versions (XT1028 & 1031 I believe) since joining with T-Mobile.
I can't give you a personal example of how the HSPA+ signal compares to Metro's LTE, but on my LG Motion, in the Dallas area, I'm getting anywhere from 5 to 10 Meg download speeds. I've seen people talking about 10 to 15 download speeds on the Metro/T-Mobile HSPA+, so I think it'd be pretty comparable, if not better.
I'm still waiting on my Uncle Sam to give me my tax refund after filing it a couple of days ago. I'm planning on getting my Moto G in the next couple of weeks or so. I will get the US GSM variant (XT1034).

Just letting you know every time I have flashed a ROM no matter if it's xt1031 or 32 I always get roaming indicator off and can't get rid of it. Just saying. If anyone knows a workaround let me know. Cause it still shows I have 3g but my phone won't show my carrier name.

Yeah, I have that same problem, even with CM11's official build.
Are you able to send/receive MMS?
Any builds other than that for the XT1031 breaks MMS, as far as I know. I've tried messing with APN settings with no avail.
I'd like some clarification, as well, if anyone has any ideas
I haven't tried sending any MMS, but I definitely can't retrieve them. Idk what the deal is. I haven't found anybody else with the problem besides you. I had stated another thread on this but I didn't get much help. Seams like it went ignored. One guy did try buy I didn't get anywhere either. It Sean's like roaming indicator off blocks off a couple things like pics and what not but everything else continues just fine. I even tried to do a flash from stock 4.3 and 4.4.2 and still nothing.

It seems like it's an APN issue to me, honestly. I decided to completely to restore my stock firmware using the guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47820707#post47820707
The roaming indicator text is gone and MMS can be sent/received.
Afterwards, I re-rooted my device and just left it as-is until the problem is rectified. Have you tried flashing either the the ROMS by Team-Osiris?

So wait you had troubles with it on your stock ROM? Only time I had troubles was when I flashed a custom ROM.
And I have not tried the Team-Osiris ROMS.

No, only until I flashed any custom ROM did I have the problem.
Now that the issues are gone, I'm rooted stock, and have since made a nandroid with working MMS and "Boost Mobile" as the carrier name.

I will give them a try once I get home. I had to wake up early and go completely back to stock in the same 40 minutes it took me to get ready. So I don't have root and custom recovery ATM. But I will later and I can report what happens with those builds. What recovery are you using?

Alright so I used the both ROMs from Osiris, both Baked and normal. They don't gave roaming indicator off but instead it shows the network is Sprint. MMS still doesn't Sean to work but that's the only problem I gave. Data behaves the same. I started using twrp with touch fixed from dhackers cm11 page. Give it a try maybe.

My unlocked AT&T Mini averaged 2-3 bars before I put the stock international ROM on it. Now I get 0-1 bars, but everything seems to be working ok.
My first question is - can a ROM have any effect on reception? And if not, is it possible to put the stock T-Mobile HTC One M7 ROM on the Mini, or are they incompatible? I'd like to get T-Mobile software for the Wi-Fi calling feature.
Thanks for any help.
DO NOT USE "One M7" ROMS WITH YOUR "One mini M4"!
