I am sorry if this has been described elsewhere. I have tried looking and have not been able to find anything.
I have a question regarding my dl speed really I suppose. My phone is unlocked and through Cincinnati bell. I have heard that I should be able to use tmobiles towers and get the 4g speeds. However I have not ever had 4g with this phone and I know its around the area. A friend has the same rom on the same phone and we will be sitting side by side with him having 4g and mine not as much as toggling over to 4g for a second.
On top of that when I run my speedtest.net speed it shows me as just over a 1100kbps. I was wondering if the issue is because of my apn settings that I manually put in. I use apn manager and input Cbw Internet and MMS in using the information on Cincinnati Bells Website.
Should I use Tmobiles apn settings? That just does not sound like it would work to me.
I use simple mobile which uses Tmobile's towers. They offer a few different plans and only the top plan allows 4G speeds. I am using simple mobiles apn settings. I get 20mb down.

Ok I have simple mobile and using my inspire as I speak now I gotta ask...is there any way possible AT ALL I can get 3g speeds or even close. Weather I got to edit the build.prop file or not. I want somewhat decent speeds. Thanks in advance.

In short, the answer is no. Tmobile and Simplemobile require different hardware for 3g than at&t does. Edge is the best you will achieve with the Inspire on Tmobile or Simple.

I find this below to work better than the *#*#4636#*#*. Seems like 3G is stable now. I have yet to see the 1x since I did this. It does turn 4G completely off though. From what HTC support says they are working on a fix for the radio, camcorder, txt, and battery issues. I was told an update when it comes should set it back to LTE. We don't have 4G yet so a good 3G signal that sticks instead of dropping out to 1x is fine by me til they get it fixed.

Are you on WiFi, because ehrp whatever is what allows you to talk and surf, putting it on rev a is just putting the phone on the old non talk and diem network.
Wifi off and it still works. Must be that it just turns the 4G off. I get email, txt, can put the wife on speaker and look at forums on the web and browse sites no problem.

I thought it was known that you can use 3G and talk on this phone at the same time. You don't need 4G. I used it once just to see that I could. I'll probably never use it again.
ehrpd is not the talk and surf thing. It makes the handoff between 3g and LTE work properly. Without ehrpd all your data connections will reset when you go between evdo and lte
All this like does is show you how to set your tb so it will stay on 3G and not 1x, which it kills the 4G. I see no point in having 4G search if I'm not in a 4G area. Plus it helps that battery issue a bit too.

How old is your SIM card? I've read that outdated cards aren't able to utilize 3/4G & getting a new one from the vendor (T-Mobile, etc.) can fix it.
sometimes 3G signal is too weak so phone automatically switches to EDGE to improve signal. Try go outside where signal is better.
Also check if your APN is set correctly

I just bought it two days ago. And i'm checking inside outside up and down. Still on the edge network.

Does your vendor's site show you a coverage map? You might be in a location too weak to get 3G.
yes it shows 95814 zip code which is a major metro area (downtown sacramento california), to be in the "best" zone. now i did some tutorial explain how to enable to 850mHz band but alas, no luck. :/ this sucks
Ok I have a rooted and unlocked mytouch 4G slide running on Cincinnati bell. I have service but no data connection. Is there anything I can do to get the data connection to work. Would a different radio work?
you need edit some network codes on the sim card. I would just call them and ask, normally the carriers are helpful in resolving the issues.
Are they using the same network as T-Mobile? Also, you may get more help at rootzwiki.

Would this just be a case of going into the settings and entering the CB APN settings?
Assuming you have a wifi connection, go into the market place and download an application called tweakker. Yes, two ks. Anyways, just use that and pick Cincinnati Bell along with the correct plan, and you should be ready to go.
Thanks I'll try some of these out

Ok so i have data now. I just set up a APN. Now just no pic mrssages
My Verizon wireless plan does not allow unlimited data since I recently upgraded my phone. The unlimited data plan was discontinued after they came up with their new family share all plan. I am an internet junky and love to read about different topics and at times watch videos, and I recently switched from the AOKP ROM and they had a 3G toggle, and, as most of you know, 3G does not kill your data as much 4G. Paranoid Android does not have this toggle and I was wondering if I was the only one who thought that was kind of upsetting. The ROM is pretty amazing though. It has yo be the best one I've had on my phone yet. But am I the only one who was wondering this?

Not to be rude, but why dont you just change the setting to cdma only?
I haven't used PA for a while... you could always download phone info from the market and manually change it there
Here's the market link

As far as I've read 4G doesn't use more data than 3G, it just uses it faster because pages and whatnot load faster.
I mean... loading yahoo.com uses the same amount of data whether you're on 3G, 4G or wifi.
Right...?
My data usage per month is the exact same with my Galaxy as it was with my 3G phones. And I haven't changed the way I use my phone.

I love PA but with .52 my data is dropping like crazy :sad:
All 4G does is allow data to transfer faster. Website "A" does not use more data simply because it is being transferred over 4G as opposed to 3G. A 250kb file will be the same across both, you'll just get it much faster on 4G.
