Hey guys,
I got the Galaxy S 4g, only issue is I have HORRIBLE 4g speeds at home and take forever to load! I recently updated to the Gingerbread 2.3.3 and it made it worst!
(Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 Deodexed + Root KF2)
Was wondering if their was a toggle where i can disable 4G and enable 3G?
on the market seems its for other phones?
Thanks!!
i honestly dont know 100% if you can toggle between them, but i'm pretty sure you can't. are you sure you're on 4g to begin with? you can try to take out your battery and leave it out for a minute and then restart the phone. i had a problem where it wouldnt connect and that fixed it for me. if that doesnt work for you, try flashing a new modem. if you're at home, just try connecting to wifi; it may just be your area.
Actually, I do sign in thru wifi but it still seems to lag and im on FiOS and it shouldnt lol
So u say flash my modem? is that reflashing with odin a new software? im learning as I go with all this and im running gingerbread 2.3.3
Oo. Hmm. I'm not sure if flashing a modem works on ginger bread. Check out the bible thread and look for the modem link. May have your answer there.

Widgetsoid toggle widgets has a feature that lets you enable/disable 4g but I have never used it so cannot make a claim as to whether it works or not.

H is faster than 3g. Enjoy! The modems unlock what your carrier blocks
A simple search would have told you this as well

yes h is hspa(high speed packet assist), well on cog i think it is hsdpa(download only) while upload is 3g, that is an att limitation for the captivate, if you use a non att kernel and modem you will gain full hspa but will loose bluetooth calling and posibly some loss in call volume or quality.
if you use a ported rom modem and kernel from one of the many other galaxy s phones(i9000/m,t959/d,i9010armani,i9088 or a combination of those) like most are roms are you will have full hspa and bluetooth calling and on some roms bluetooth voice commands. and you will have a slight performance advantage if it is a 2.2.1 rom but may loose some call quality depending on specific combination and modifications.
Have yet to try my bluetooth headphones i unfortunately i left them at work but having working Bluetooth is a must cause i use it to listen to music all day at work will ill have to check that out when i get there

Hi All,
I have an ATT infuse 4G, just arrived last night.
Which modem do I need to get the 3g/4g working on Roger's?
Hopefully something that I can flash with CWM.
I just finished rooting, unlocking and installing CWM recovery.
I now have a "I997RUXKG3" for a baseband, but it is still not getting any data.
Need also a good rom that will work with this setup.
Thanks
Heeter
Bump.
Could really use some advice.
Thanks all.

Try as many out as you can and see what works best!
As long as rogers supports the exact same 3g radio bands as ATT then it should pick it up automatically. If they use different ones then no matter what you do it won't connect to anything other then edge
I'm on rogers and have no problems with any of at&t modems. Just try them all and see which works best for you. I'm currently using UVKJ6. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353209

Hey thanks guys,
I don't have any data (3G, E, H, nothing) So I am gonna try Spider posted.
Will report back in a bit.
Hmmm, you mentioned that all modems should work, maybe there is a setting that I am missing somewhere, 'cause I got no data whatsoever.
BTW, Spidey, Which ROM are you using? And do you have a download link for it?
Thanks
Heeter
Hey I'm using Darky Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354321
After flashing make sure everything is running and then flash InfusionGB-CoreA2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212485
Then flash this tweak Universal Adrenaline Shot v13.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236779
Before doing any of this try downloading tweakker https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tweakker&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50d2Vha2tlciJd from market it fixs apn for specific carrier.
Try inputting the Rogers APN look for a search on the forums to find it, it should activate your data.
Thanks for the heads up Spider, Sarius.
Will post back when I check that out.

Hi Guys,
Update:
I flashed that modem that spider provided, and as well I used tweakker.
Now I have a "H+" sign on top,
Is that good?
Heeter
Glad to hear that all is good. enjoy

Isn't it supposed to show 4G or is H+ normal for that modem?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using xda premium
I don't know if H+ is good for my area. Don't know if 4G has even made it to my area (Edmonton). I know rogers has been talking about something called LTE in my area.
My Nexus S always says 3G, but it is 3G only, not a 4G device.

Thanks for that explanation, Entropy
Heeter
h+ is the 4g in infuse 4g but its more like fauxG, really its just marketing, the infuse and many other 4g phones work on the 3g network, lte is the true 4th Gen network and the infuse doesn't support it.
the att kernel seems to get faster data because of tcp buffer changes ( if I got that mixed up with something else someone correct me) but the recent custom kernels have the changes and are all built on Rogers sources. the rom shouldn't matter but you need to use the Rogers apn settings. the modems should all work including modems from the sgs4g
weather you see h+ or 4g depends on the rom. it can be changed in the theme. they indicate exactly the same thing.
Hey guys I just recently got a samsung t959v as a replacement to my nexus one that got its screen cracked. So far I am loving the phone and had no problems with it. I recently updated it using the Kies mini software and updated the phone to 2.3.6. After updating, I rooted the phone using superoneclick and everything worked out perfectly. The only thing I have noticed is that my signal bars are now always empty. I have the 4G symbol on green, however the bars next to it have not turned green at all. I am signed in to google talk so I know it is not the grey/green signal issue. Before updating and rooting I always had FULL 4G signal here throughout my apartment and throughout the city. Anyone know what the problem could be? Everything seems to be working fine using the network however it is just a little annoying not knowing how strong the signal really is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I also installed setcpu and changed some of the settings, not sure if that has anything to do with this issue....
4g and"the bars" are two different signals. Cell it's used for calls when not connect to wifi and for SMS. 4g is your data: internet,g talk, market, and most everything else. if your not experiencing issues I wouldn't worry about it. Set ovum doesn't have anything to do with this but here we have found tegrak paid to be more stable for oc/uv.

that is a UI bug with the stock firmware.
Don't worry.
Flash AOSP style. It will remind you of the N1!
Leave your battery out for 10min and try again

Okay updated my skyrocket ATT phone to ICS 4.04 last night with their legit update from ATT. Now my wifi tether does not work! That is all I use for internet and the main reason I bought this phone. When I click on the app to start tethering the phone hangs for 1 minute, errors message saying settings has stopped working and then everything closes.
Suggestions?
Yes use a custom rom then you get the best of all worlds low bloat and tethering turned on and maybe smoother.

ICS 4.0.4 Hotspot
I am having the same issue with the hotspot mode. When i go to enter the menu from settings it locks up for about a minute then crashes. I did some reading and found this was an issue with 4.0.4 for some Sony phones. What they found was that they were missing APNs after the update.
The only APN i see on my phone now is the Default PTA and I seem to remember having 2-3 APNs on 2.3.5.
Well sky-ice 4.2f6 is a very nice and its based off of att official rom and seanzscreams does a rom right.

Hello All,
Don't know why, but mine works fine with no modifications.

Actually I found a fix for it. Install and run Wifi Hot spot & USB tether lite from svtp and that causes Tue stop hot spot to work again.

I just upgraded my phone to the CM 10.1 stable rom, installed the AT&T/Rogers radio UCMC1 to try and fix issues with LTE not working
i got LTE working as there was a setting in teh phone information menu to use lte/gsm/wcdma
after this i got 4g working and i felt like trying tethering and discovered tethering will not work when in 4g, but it works fine in 3g
has anyone heard or encountered this issue? I tried searching topics but they are all seem to be that tethering is not working at all on their phones whether it is 3g or 4g
if not i'm assuming it might be an issue with rogers? does anyone know if rogers does tethering through 4g?
My computer stays on limited access so I'm watching this thread for an answer or possible fix. I will say that I'm working around it with an app called FoxFi.

I'm on Rogers and tethering with Beanstalk and Moretz 3.0.9 just fine, and the RUXUMA7 radio. (If you're on Rogers you should really try this one, I've gotten better battery, reception and data speeds with it than UCMC1).
That being said with 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 aosp ROMs tethering doesn't work by default, you have to use a .sh script within a terminal app to fix your iptables before tethering works. Since cm10.1 is aosp you would have needed to look here:

Next time try to search around as a google search for "skyrocket xda WiFi tether" would have given you the answer.
As for you DSDONE I'm disappointed in you, you know better
