I am typically a silent browser. However I need some assistance.
I currently have a t mobile Sensation and naturally s-off(Perm).
I am very familiar with flashing roms as I must have flash at least 20 roms with my N1.
If Sense is any different, regarding flashing then I'm having issues with my current speed.
All directions on downloading the latest rom and kernal have been followed, which prompted me to test my Dl/Ul speeds with speed test. I'm in a very good coverage area and on a stock rom I was averaging literally 8 dl/1.75 ul.-Mbps. No wifi.
On my modified rom I cannot get past 4 dl/0.75 mbps.
Now I understand we have a new set of oc that is built into the rom, however before I installed setcpu my speeds were not all the different.
Please advise what I am doing wrong.

wrong radio?
i have to agree, it might be your radio..make sure it is the newest radio and check your tmobile apn settings. try internet2.voicestream.com
hope this helps.

internet2.voicestream.com is NOT for 3G/HSPA/4G (whatever you want to call it). Must be epc.tmobile.com.

Fair enough, and appreciate the help. Now, this was a concern of mine prior to flashing as I did not even flash a new radio, as opposed to my N1 where I would go with the latest CM radio suggestion.
Where would I locate a radio as I still don't have rights to ask a Question in A&D, but interactions > date of registration.
you could try finding one in the custom rom topic you are using. Usually they will recommend which radio to go with the custom rom.
cheers!
Confirmed on the slower speeds, also using LeeDroid. My APN is epc.tmobile.com. Have flashed the latest radio..audio went back to shipping radio but problem persists.

Guys, try to manually put APN in.
thats why im still on stock rom s-off perm root. wants you start flashing custom roms thats when you lose everything your phone had from the start. its still in the early stage for custom roms for the sensation i will wait till around december before i flash thats enough time for devs to really work out the kinks. remember most off the roms here were maid before s-off so the devs really did not have a system to work on intill now

December wow lol. I'm running LeeDroid v1.1 w/ kernel v1.2 and it's already amazing. Everything works flawlessly and he got rid of the lag that was in the Stock TMo ROM. Plus Overclock'ed kernel w/ UV coming soon. ROM is super stable, fast as hell, and battery life is much better. To me it's a no brainier, nothing to lose.
Some of the Devs had S-OFF before we did, and most have been putting out ROMS long before the Sensation. No reason to wait til December but hey that's just my opinion!

I understand where you're coming from but the issue of people having problems isn't ever going to go away. That doesn't mean it's the ROMs/Devs fault. There are so many variables involved including a big one - the user.
Everything might work perfectly for one person, while there is a "bug" for another. Well that person may not have read the entire thread/wiped when supposed to/cleared data etc. All the things many of us who have been flashing a long time have learned to do by default before asking questions. I don't check all the other threads that often so I don't doubt you, but you never know until you try. You may flash now and have no problems. It's sorta like, if you don't want to "troubleshoot", why are you flashing ROMs to begin with?
Either way your answer of "this is why I haven't flashed a custom ROM" isn't helpful to the OP or any of us because we HAVE flashed custom ROMs
I'm toying with some build.prop settings as I did on my Nexus One and I'm seeing some improvement in speeds on LeeDroid.
I'll post more in a bit..

The problem has to do with the EURO base. After all my testing, this is why I am purely making TMOUS based roms.
XDA Member: Rsotbiemrptson - wrote to me, what discovered that all .RIL files and build prop from TMOUS had to be transferred to the EURO based rom for the speeds to match TMOUS HSPA+ speeds. Then repacked the zip, resigned and flashed.

Hmmm, interesting. Care to share? We could pass it on to LeeDroid for his ROM as well?
I think he is right
I believe the issue lies in not having the correct RIL, along with a few tweaks to the build.prop... Only thing is how do you extract the RIL from the stock ROM? I pulled the files I think go with it from \system\lib and \system\bin but I am kinda scared to flash this zip I made... haha
Oh just an FYI you can run getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl" on the Terminal Emulator and/or ADB shell the stock ROM is HTC-RIL 2.2.0159HMQ so I just need to learn how to pull the needed files and create a flashable zip that would install the correct RIL into a custom ROM... if someone far more experienced could tell me how... or if they just wanted to do it, have at!
Just ran a few Speed Test runs with the new LeeDroid ROM, and my TMOUS 4G speeds seem to be right where they should be for my signal strength here (at 2 bars, I'm getting about 4-5Mbps down, 2-3Mbps up).
I did do a Super Wipe before installing the ROM - could that have been a factor?
I'll try to do some more testing when I'm in a 4-bar signal area, just to be sure.

This is mainly for the people who've made the jump from GB to any current ICS rom, biggest question is: was it worth it?
I've read up on all the steps and understand the firmware changing, but am still very hesitant to make the change. Some of my largest concerns:
1. after changing to the new firmware do I also need to change my radio and/or ril's to match a specific rom?
2. do the benefits of ICS outweigh the bugs and drawbacks?
For me, my priorities are having good picture quality, a working video camera, working wifi, and above all else having GOOD and QUICK gps lock.
Would any of the ICS roms be better or worse for me to try given my listed priorities?
My final question, I currently have 1.17 hboot, if I flash the new firmware and decide I want to go back to GB is it a simple process to just re-flash 1.17?

1. Radio is in the new firmware, RIL is in ICS ROMs already.
2. Yes, with latest builds there are virtually no bugs and they are fast and stable for daily drivers
If you want to flash back to GB you will just have to reflash firmware for GB

1- the radio is included in the firmware.
2- Yes. I haven't encountered many bugs or any drawbacks.
3- Yes, you just have to flash the old firmware and and GB ROM
The switch to ICS is worth it.
Better performance, better battery life, better appearance.
I haven't run into serious bugs.
OP, at this stage I'm going to wait for the official release, it shouldn't be far away now.

I have no clue why there are even GB ROMs still even out there. ICS is working flawlessly and it's better than GB in pretty much every way. Mindboggling how people still use them.
Better battery life is the biggest plus IMO.

THIS!
IMHO there is absolutely no comparison between ICS and GB.It's like day and night.
You're all pretty convincing, maybe I'll actually try it out tonight. Have any of you gone back to GB after being on ICS? From all I've read it doesn't seem too complicated, just flash 1.17 back and I'm back to where I started, right?
EDIT:
I know two of you already told me the radio is included in the new firmware, but why does ARHD have links to both the firmware and the radio? I'm confused?

What version of ICS are you running?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I would never go back to GB after having ICS (rmk40) with the latest firmware for 3 weeks!
Are you on Inquisition? No issues and all working?
I'm in the process of updating to Virtuous Inq. but I already have a question. The firmware I downloaded from Virtuous site but it says it's 1.23 in bootloader, is this the older firmware? Should I have used a different firmware?
its worth it simply from a battery life and GUI acceleration standpoint
from a speed standpoint, the biggest thing you can do is getting rid of Sense
Well, so far things are not going all that smoothly. I managed to get new firmware installed and installed virtuous inq but titanium backup is not being allowed root access. Any ideas??

Ok, so I understand the process of flashing the firmware and installing a new ics rom.
What I don't get is how to go back to a GB rom, I am going to flash the 3.24 firmware so once I wanna go back what are the exact steps to use?
Flash old 1.17 firmware, go to recovery, use superwipe, then restore nandroid back up or what? Just wanna make sure do I don't brick my phone going back to GB, just in case I don't like the new ICS roms lol.
Thanks for any help!

Also if you were unaware before, wifi-calling doesn't work on any jelly bean rom.

WIFI issues are a nuance of this phone and the tmobile seems to be the most affected - it's different for each access point, user, phone, rom and firmware. In short you'll have to try it.
My tmobile worked with wifi on CM10 and CM10.1, it would not work with Viper until I downgraded my hboot (partial s-off enables some firmware write access) and flashed my wifi firmware. It get's interesting - I then put the old firmware back and the wifi still worked!!
Did you see the S-OFF thread? This will enable you to flash the radio firmware which will solve any problems.
Remember your WIFI channels - different countries use different range of channels and some access points 'helpfull' set the channel automaticlly. I have many devices that cannot cope with channel12.
Not trying to be a buzz kill here, but what's the purpose of this thread? I mean the Dev section is right over there, and the first page is flowing with fully working or close to fully working new ROMS.
Just saying.
I see what your saying. But honestly when you go through the a certain ROMs thread, they never say how WiFi doesn't work on T-Mobile phones. Or any of the problems Tmobiles users face.And who wants to go through a thread having to look for that one specific detail about a ROM whether or not to see if WiFi works. Also when looking through these ROM threads you find people that just like to say thank you (which there is nothing wrong with) that fill up the pages, making it harder to know if everything in that ROM is really going to work on your tmobile HTC one s, because people do search through comments to see what the users say. Therefore I made this thread for all T-Mobile users who want to post and say whether their ROM they are using works perfectly or if they are experiencing problems. And who wants to go through the process of flashing a new ROM without even knowing whether something like WiFi works. So yeah that's why i made this thread
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I get that, ROM posts can be a little all over the place sometimes. I didn't understand at first; I'm one of the few T-Mo users with pretty much no problems. It also doesn't help that the ROM database that some guy did in the Dev section hasn't been updated for some time.
Thankyou

Ok thank you. Now i think im going to go Flash that rom. And also did you do anything specific to get your wifi working. and what Hboot are you on
If you are S-ON and have high HBOOT and want a Sense-based ROM with working WiFi, you were looking at TrickDroid 7 (TMOUS based), Unknown Retribution, and I think one more (Energy Blue, IIRC) that were based on recent updates. Since they were all based on the TMOUS ROM, everything should work without doing anything super special, including WiFi-calling. Virtuous Ville+ also had working WiFi, but no WiFi-calling. Recent CM 10.1 nightlies are working really well. At least, those are the ROMs I've used.

Wait are you saying that Recent cm10.1 nightlies have wifi working on our device. and by wifi working i mean it automatically turns on, and not just hangs and turns on later .
I haven't had any WiFi hangs.

Right now I'm on Viper 2.1.0 with the full firmware from the 3.16 WWE OTA -- I only made that jump because S-OFF makes it easy to switch without having to downgrade HBOOT. So HBOOT is 2.15 and Radio is 1.11.50.05.28. But I've just started using that and can't give you much in the way of impressions on WiFi stability yet. Just flashed it last night and didn't have any WiFi problems downloading my apps last night or weather checks this morning.
Before that I was using a recent CM 10.1 nightly on the TMOUS 2.35.531.10 firmware. So HBOOT 1.14 and 1.11t. I ran that firmware combination from shortly after its release until flashing Viper. ROMs in use were either CM 10.1 nightlies or Unknown Retribution (TMOUS 2.35 based).

noob question- What do you mean by TMOUS 2.35 based. And how does that affect the cm10.1 nightly
I mean ROMs that were built using T-Mobile US's 2.35 ROM as a base. Other Sense-based ROMs, like Viper, start with different ROMs as a base. The different Sense bases are part of the reason people run into WiFi problems when using ROMs originally created for other regions.
CM 10.1 has an entirely different heritage so it has its own ways of dealing with those issues.

Gotta Tell you the Viper 2.1.0 rocks...its fast awesome battery life and its got working wifi...not wifi calling but just wifi in general...it honestly is the best sense ROM...I have tried CM 10, Virtuous Ville+, P.A.C Man and even the ICS ROMs and I gotta say the Venom team makes an awesome product...:laugh:
"[rom][S4][15FEB]Updated_4.2.2_AOKP-Working-video" seems to work great with TMOUS hboot 1.14, added the new camera (in the post) with photosphere, The only little bug I found is the bluetooth doesn't list station info on my car stereo. I saw a tearing fix using bubba kernel, but I'm just living with it for now. Everything else seems to work great!
I just flashed the LiquidSmooth JB ROM from Droyd and this thing is amazing.. Coming from a rooted Stock Sense there really is no comparison, I might give Viper a try but this is clearly gonna be my daily driver
Hey guys
I recently got into the s3 (I know, I'm late to the game...)
I am using the latest elemental X from Nitro...and I love the ROM!
The one thing I noticed is that I can never get above 1 or 2 bars on 4g. Speedtests never go above 4 or 5 Mbps. However, My Bionic will do 25+ in same area.
Any suggestions where I should start investigating?
Thanks!
About the only thing I could suggest is to try another modem and rpm

How was your signal on stock ? ROMs don;t change the radio, so should be the same. Did you make any other changes?

Hmm, to be honest, it seemed ok...
Here is what I did when I got the phone...
I ODIN's back to stock 4.1.2, rooted and unlocked bootloader.
Went into clockwordmod...wiped etc, installed elemental X, and gapps.
Should I have done the OTA update 1st?
I just checked the baseband version..., it says "I535VRBLK3"
Could that be it?
Elemental is aosp right ? If it is then that's you're answer . try a touchwiz ROM and you'll see the bars falling off your screen . tyres ROMs have to do with your signal . touch wiz ril will always be superior to aosp's ril.

Your modem should be VRBMB1 , you are on an older modem/radio version
You should install the latest OEM verizon 4.1.2 full.
Then root and install the ROM you want.
The radio is the radio and custom ROMs shouldn't mess with your actual signal if you install via recovery, but GUI changes to the status bar may cause the display to be different.
Thanks....Thats exactly what I just did....
Stock ROM still giving lousy signal....speeds aren't that much better...
Ill try a touchwiz rom also...

And your modem version is? Data rates might get a little boost from some tweaked ROMs, but actual signal strength won;t, it simply doesn't because custom ROMs still run the stock modem and radio. And the stock ROM IS TW . when I run stock , I get 25+ mbs down in a 4g area, same as on Synergy custom, even when I have only 1 bar I get 10 mbs down

Hmm, forgive me, but which would be the modem version?
I put everything back to stock, rooted for now....
Thanks again my friend!
ive read that hte AOSP roms show less bars but get similar signla.
ive seen it in practice when with my mother.
check the signal strength on TW, then on AOSP and see if theyre equal. my moms stock S3 gets the same signal as my aosp phone does in our location.
Go here. Download the latest. It is an all in one. With the latest trust zone. It may alleviate your problems.
Or not.
I am running the PACMan ROM. And it shows less bars. Yes, it annoys the living daylights out of me. But, the speed is there when I use it and do speed tests. Any way, good luck.
