Sorry- I'm new so I can't post in the development section but I'm using the 4.3 versions of Adrynalyne's kernels and I'm getting slower donwload speeds and much slower upload speeds (closer to 500k). When I flashed back to the stock kernel the dl and upl speeds went back to normal. Anybody else getting this?

Kernel has absolutely nothing to do with your network speeds. That was likely a fluke.
Network speeds are affected by a number of things-signal strength and network congestion being the biggest factors.
Do several tests different times of day and you will see that 3g can vary from 30 to 2100 kbps download speeds. As for 4g.. Idk what typical speeds are, but it will have a similar range.

Thanks AdhvanIt for the response but I tried testing them within minutes of flashing kernels and did numerous tests. With stock kernel I was getting about 8-12mbs donwloads and believe it or not upwards to 25+ mbs uploads (and that's consistently) while with the Adrynalyne's ROMS (using different versions- a-c) I was getting about 3-6 mbs downloads and 1-2 mbs uploads. Granted 3-6 is good enough but the disparity between 3-6 and 8-12 for uploads and 2 and 25 is quite a difference. You mention that kernels have nothing to do with speed but I was wondering if undervolting has any effect on the radio? Is anybody else having donwload/upload issues?
The upload speeds on the speed test app are completely wrong. If anything, the Adrynalyne kernel brought it closer to what it should be. Tether the internet from your phone to your computer, then go to the speed test web site. That'll show you what it should be.
Tried tethering (which always seems slower) and got the same results with the 4.a - 4.3 kernels. If anybody is trying this kernel are you getting the same results? I really love this kernel and Adrynalyn's work is always top notch. I don't know if this is just my phone with maybe a bad radio?
that has to be the kernel.. check for updates... or try somthing different.

I'm all ears on the explanation of why it has to be.
Hi Adrynalyn. First, thanks for all of the work and time you put in. I can't post in the development thread or otherwise I would have posted this thread there. Also, thanks for checking in on the thread. Is it just my experience with the download speed using the 4.3 kernels? Thanks!
Im using his 4.3b and my speeds are fine. All his kernals have done well for me. As stated above 4g speeds should be around 7-12down and 4-6up. At least in NY that is the usual besides some slighty higher numbers once in a while.
I would redownload and try flashing again. Are you using rom manager to flash or going into recovery. I have done both and it seems fine...
Not to jack the thread... but
I am new and can't post in the dev section yet. Adrynalyn, just wanted to express my gratitude for all your hard work!!! Tried a couple other ROM's, but just LOVE yours and came back within minutes of each experience...
In my strongest 4g LTE area I get 15/5 pretty regularly on adryns kernels and from what I understand thats all your really sposed to be seeing...
Thanks to you guys for responding- it looks to be unique to my situation then. I'm flashing via recovery. Would that make a difference? I'm in San Jose and I had been getting incredible upload speeds- frequently hitting above 30mbs. My donwloads have always been lower but flashing with these kernels I haven't been able to duplicate. Maybe it's because I'm using the stock but rooted ROM? Jrocker23- are you using the stock rom, too?
Yes, all I did was root via adb and added Adranalyne's kernals. Im running .06 stock. Also flashing from recovery should work fine. Are you using setcpu or running with the stock kernal speed?

Funny you say this because I am in the San Jose area and before would hit 15-30mbs and now with adryns~ 4.3a kernel I get only 3/1mbs @ speakeasy website. This is rather weird.. Let me try a different kernel and report back with speeds.
Smok3d-
I'm also from the San Jose area. I was getting blazing uploads but now I can't get it over 2mbs. Something to do with our area's towers? Smok3d- could you revert back to the stock kernel? I did and was getting the regular speeds- I wonder if that's it too?
Ok there is definitely an issue going on here with kernels and speeds.
I was using Teslacoil with the included kernel and my speed in 3G area was snappy, when running speed tests I'd consistently get around 1.5 meg.
Yesterday i flashed the latest Virus rom with recommended Ziggy BFS kernel, and i almost automatically noticed my speed was running considerabley slower. When running a speed test, I'd get only around 100 KB down.
So today, i flashed the latest Virus rom again but this time i flashed Imoseyon normal lean kernel on it and now my speeds are back to 1.5 MB.
Now i know that speed tests are not accurate when run from the phone itself, however, the difference in speed is so dramatic that you don't even need to run a speed test to notice it right away.

*edit nvm, wifi was on. The problem is adryns kernel, speeds are blazing fast on drods kernel, 20+mbs now

And what is it with adrynalyne kernel that is the problem? I would love to know. I'm running it and my real speeds are great. You are running speed tests, bet if you didn't you wouldn't even notice the speed. Just because you are getting a certain speed from a TEST doesn't mean you will get the same in real world performance. Do research or provide facts before you make statements you can't back up

L00k above at my post... I automatically noticed my speed was considerably slower before even running a speed test. Then i change kernels, and its magically back to normal.
I'm no dev, so i couldn't begin to explain what in the kernel would cause it. And just because you aren't experiencing the issue doesn't mean it doesn't exist for others. Who knows? Maybe it was just a bad flash or CWR didn't clean cache properly before flashing, anything is possible, but we should work together to bring resolution to issues that arise, even if it is just happening to some...

I was pointing out what I noticed, I am no dev, just pointing out what I noticed when on adryns kernel compared to other kernels. It might not lag, but i notice the difference.
This might get deleted but is there a way to boost 3G signal on ns4g?
why would you get deleted???
1) make sure you have the latest radio avail...
2) update your prl
3) find a nice rom with some radio/reception twee
4) dowload a stable fast kernal
and make sure you have a decent signal....Seems like 1bar of 4g isnt any faster the 5 bars or 4g.....
3g on the other hand isnt as lucky.. 1bar is waaaaay slower then 5...... so make sure you have at least a semi decent signal first..
maybe a real dev. on here can be more help...

I'm not a "real Dev" but I'm about that illusive level.
Your 3 & 4 are silly.
1.If you go on rom manager. (Need to be rooted, flashed cwm, blah blah blah) go under Peter A. Then flash the radio the most current radio as you would a rom.
2.Prl and profile are +'s
3. You could try making your own self made satellite. Using a bowl, foil, Ethernet cable, and tape. Look it up on the Tube.
Other than that just check your signal in the menu. On different radios. -45 is about perfect signal -100 and up is weak.

Hi there, I have a question!! Is it possible that a kernel x with radio x can interfere with the cellphone reception and cause bad reception on devices?
I used to be on aosp iml74k build 3 with Eugene's kernel and now I'm on glados 2.7 that comes with CyberGr Mod v3 Hybrid_ics rom and always used xxxkb3 radio. When I installed the new rom I did a full clean install even format my SD card.
Used to have at least umts and more but now after reboot or battery pulled I'm always on 2g and my settings are ok I checked it.
Am I missing something or it's not compatible?
Thanks in advance!!

Good luck with you answer... people here don't seem to care about others with signal problems.. I too would like to know about a fix for signal.. 1more day in my return period or else this things a goner
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Cant really say for NS4g but gsm phones have multiple radios to choose from this is really only way to improve your signal
if you guy have more radios to choose from old or new try flashing another radio.
some have better luck with older some with newer
Or wait for proper ICS OTA for your 4g phone that will include new radio

IMO i would have gotten a galaxy s 2 from sprint much better phone than NS even better than the galaxy nexus. galaxy nexus is an overpriced watered down Gs2 with ****tier CPU and GPU only thing better is the qHDscreen.
If noticed a lot of roms have some slight of battery drain, Which rom do you recommend?
I'm currently using AOKP crespo4g milestone-2
Thanks!
..
I'll give it a whirl and report back, Thanks
Wait, this isn't for my nexus s 4G though?
..
it's almost same to me , i have use 2 batteries back in GB time with heavy usage , and ICS same 2 batteries.
Battery life for me is MUCH worse in ics. But I feel like its the radios fault. No matter what from/kernel/setting combos I use I can't even break 10 hours with only 1 hour screen time. Blows ass for me. But ics is pwnage compared to gb so I'll keep it.

Doing a clean fresh install of ICS stock ROM 4.0.3 (after formating everything) made a world of difference to me .... 2 days are easy of moderate use .
Full wipe try the ROM I'm using
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
CM9 Nightly Kang (Build 1 of v2.1)
Eugene's Kernel (Speedy-7)
OC 1100/100 (conservative)
Gingerbread menus and overal theme was darker and thus used more power.
Install CM9 and install this theme and I guarentee you will have longer on-screen time.

I have a huge reason to believe the battery life issue is my reception here. i always have 1 bar. sprint is sending me out a airave device thats suppose to boost my signal.. we shall see how this works..

Me too!! Right now i have 2 bars and it stays there all the time. Rarely do I see it go over that. Tried the new radio, and all the other radios. No dice. I think there's some software going wrong here. If I switch my signal to dbm my phone stays @-67 for the most part. That don't equal 2 ****ing bars for me. Yesterday I got 8 hours.. with CPU downclocked to 800mhz with lulzactive set to fast 1up, 2down. Brightness on auto and NOTHING syncing. This is BS. I had 6 hours of extremely heavy use on gb. Lucky I'm unemployed and never go anywhere for long periods of time so my phones basically on the charger on demand

It sounds like it could definitely be your phone struggling to get a good signal. That will drain the battery faster. I am running CyberGR ICS rom and my battery life is great.
Same problem here.... my HTc Wildfire S on ICS is eating twice battery then GB , with all closed down (wifi,bt , network etc).
It is a software problem i guess...
Any other opinions or fixes ??
So I've been running Synergy r71 and Trinity kernel b7 with the toolbox for a few days and have been getting up to 1mb/sec w/ mobile hotspoting and I've also noticed Im sometimes getting more bars then before with Synergy/Ziggy's kernel. I diddnt think a kernel had anything to do with reception/4G. Anyone else?

no change for me, i used trinity for a long time. you are correct though, a kernel shouldn't effect reception.
Probably weather conditions (ex. humidity) or radio interference that was worse prior. Just a guess
I get better data speeds with imos asop kernel over KT by double so it might be possible to have a small boost.
