[Q] Which Modem is best for 4G - Samsung Infuse 4G

I have been searching on forums and didn't find a solid answer, i have the Infuse 4G Serendipity Rom, and it seems like the phone is almost always on 3G , i do know that before this, the rom did have the H+ icon at the top, now its never there.
Would like to know which infuse modem i should be using.
UCKD5 - (AT&T Froyo original - 05/15/2011)
UCKE3 - (AT&T Froyo update - 06/02/2011)
UXKG3 - (Rogers Gingerbread original - 07/26/2011)
UCKI3 - (AT&T Gingerbread leak)
UCKI4 - (AT&T Gingerbread leak)

The phone should say 3G when you're not actively using data then switch to H when you're using data.
Try downloading a file or loading a large website and see if it switches from 3G to H. This is how it's supposed to be.

Thank you guys, i ended up putting the UCKI4 - (AT&T Gingerbread leak) modem, and i monitored the change from EG to H, and u were right, its only when it gets used.
Makes sense
Cheers!

Im in Spokane, WA and using UCKI4 I'm getting around 3Mbps Down and always around 2Mbps Up. That is on gtg's Infused GB and Bedwa's GB Kernal. My questionis about the new UCKJ1? How is that working for everyone?

I'm liking the UCKJ1. I have been averaging about 4mbps (1mbps faster than UCKI4) north of Seattle and as fast as 6mbps south of Seattle. No clue how the network layout differs from Spokane. May not be connected but seem to be getting better reading on Wifi. Used to have no signal across the house and up a floor from my AP now I have a bar more signal and 65 vs 25-35 MB/s connnection.

ATT's network...

Has anyone had a problem today where your phone just cannot connect to ATT's 3G or HSPA network? For some reason, my phone is getting little-to-no signal, and if I do, it is only on GPRS... I CWM'd to my stable nandroid, but no dice, leading me to think that this problem is with the network.
What's XDA's thought on this? Possible dev issue?

Their network is just pretty terrible right now. However, by summer we'll probably be singing a different tune about ATT's coverage when the iPhone user population will even out a bit. Also, I believe ATT threw down a few billion for network upgrades this year. It seems like they really took that Consumer Reports article to heart, so I actually see good things in the future.

No AT&T 3G here...but I use edge network, get mostly 3 to 5 bars mostly indoors or outdoors depending on location. At my work, it's pretty good signal and get around 150-180kbps speed but at home is slower which is around 100-125kbps or slower, probably. I usually use wifi at my home with my own internet.
Out of Davenport, IA and I have great HSDPA signal running Perception 10.1 with the included 2.6.32.9 Firebird Kernel. I have flashed a bunch of DGs ROMs and never had issues with connectivity (voice or data).
I also get that the sim card.has been removed and its pissing me off.... btw, im on phoenix 3.5 with a setiron 1.5.6

My definition of normal is >3Mbps down, >1.5Mbps up... How is yours so different when you are so near? I get these speeds regardless if I'm on HSUPA or UMTS. I tend to use the latter to save battery.
The more I look, the more I think that ATT just capped my speeds 2 nights ago. This is crap. No modem change, nothing fixes it.

flashing modems?

okay can i flash a 3g modem back on my captivate? and if so where can i find one i'm experimenting with alot of different roms but all the ones i'm using use HSDPA? not sure if i abbreviated that right but could someone explain the advantages of that to me because all the developers seem to favor those modems and ive found that when i'm traveling a 3g modem is much nicer and i prefer them so can someone please help me out?
Hspda IS 3g but faster. It basically is 3.5g or what ATT is now calling 4g. So if you have it, it is just a faster version of 3g for downloading and uploading speeds.

I'm looking for an older modem too. I've been trying to figure out why my battery life is horrible since going to Perception 10.3 and the next thing to rule out is HSDPA. Maybe the signal for that is low in my area. When i was on 2.1 I would get a day and a half on my battery but as soon as i flashed, I'm lucky to get six hours with zero use.
There's a stickied "modem" thread in the developers section. It has most if not all the popular modems in it. They can be installed via CWM. JK3, JK4, and Telus GT JL3 seem to be the most recent. I found Telus to be the best on my phone. Gave me better battery life as well. Many say the same thing about JK4 but it didn't do that for me. These are all I9000 modems but they also have the older modems as well.
I'd suggest switching to the KP1 modem. There was a comment earlier today of someone getting 25 hours and still having 50% battery left. I don't know how much is idle and how much is normal use.

I recently switched to Precision and am using the JK4 modem. So far it's very responsive. I'm not sure if this affects you but the ping time on it is fantastic. My market loads in seconds, while on Andromeda it took like a minute. I wasn't a huge fan of that rom. You should also look into the glitterballs kernel. I liked that one.

Currently AT&T flipped the switch on HSPA+ to keep people happy until the official launch of their LTE network this summer which will dwarf all other 4G networks that Sprint (WiMax), Verizon (LTE), or T-Mobile (HSPA+) have.

I just migrated from theN1 to the NS and my 3g speeds seem slow in speedtest. downloads are around 2000kbps which is usual for the rogers network in my area, but uploads are around 60-80kbps and pin times are almost 200ms. I'm using the Koodo version on the Rogers network.

Updating the baseband to KB3 or KD1 should fix up your upload speed.

Hmm that is strange, I was running cm7.0.2 with KB3 and KD1 and had normal 1.1-1.2mb upload speeds. Over on hofo there was a thread where quite a few folks were complaining about capped upload speeds with the NS, people were focused on the source of the issue being the KB2 radio, but it is seeming more like some sort of network issue in Quebec and Ontario as I have never seen capped upload speeds over multiple android phones here in Vancouver. It may be worth doing a nandroid backup, wipe and CM7 reinstall just for testing purposes though.

I'll put my SIM back in my Nexus One and retest. That should rule out network problems.
This is clearly a local Montreal issue. I'm in Toronto this week and HSUPA is almost 1000kbps.
I am experiencing very slow 3g data speeds with my i9020a (AT&T US). I have never gone above 400kbs down on full bar 3g signal.
What's the deal here? I thought the i9020a was compatible with AT&T bands? 3g lights up, but data is just slow. My baseband after the 2.3.4 update is I9020AUCKD1.
Is there a radio flash I can do to get 3g speeds? If not, this thing is going back to Amazon. It's very annoying.
Just went to an AT&T store and they guy changed some settings on my account (I had a 4g plan with my Atrix). Initially, this resulted in faster speeds, but now they have dropped back down to like 300 kbs down on 3g and 100 up on 3g.
I'm so irritated with this. I'm most likely going to return it and go back to my Atrix. It sucks bigtime as I really like the Nexus S.
Is there anything else I can do to speed this thing up on AT&T? Surely there are others who have the i9020a on ATT in the US?

I too have an i9020a on ATT in the Denver Metro area - I applied the 2.3.4 update and saw abysmal upload and download speeds with the bundled radio. I flashed the KB3 radio and immediately saw improvement - consistant 2.0Meg down and 1.5 Meg up. I then went into the ATT store and switched my plan (was on an iPhone and thus had strange voicemail issues on the NS) and since, my data has been significantly slower (1.0 Meg down and .5 Meg up)...
I'm headed back there tonight to see if there is an issue in my account - otherwise, I'm going to start looking into the build.pref changes that others have referenced in the forums...

EVO SHift 3G Network question

I don't have cable internet where i live due to the fact i travel to and from class way to much to use it. I tethered my phone via wireless or usb to my computer and run off of the 3g network speeds. I currently switch between CM7 and then new EVO Shift 2.3.3 leaked GB Test ROM. I noticed that i have 57% signal according to opensignal and when i download anything or load web pages they are very slow no matter how many bars i have. My download speeds are usually around 20kbps to 55kbps max Is there anything i can do to increase the net speed of my 3G connection? Or is there a app on the market place that i can use to improve or some how boost my 3g network speeds.
I've noticed a little bit slower speeds using the Gingerbread leak but nothing as slow as what you are experiencing. Have you tried the fix from this thread? [FIX] 3G Upload & Download Speeds

going to try what one do you guys do "1.17.651.1 RUU (Stock):" or 2.72.651.2 RUU: i dont have 4g here
i believe 1.17.651.1 ruu is the stock version that's already on your phone, for people that want to flash back to stock settings if the new radio fails to perform. you should flash to 2.72.651.2 if you want an attempt at an upgrade. personally, it did nothing on my end for the internet, but voice calls did slightly improve. i encountered problems too, where it would hang on the htc splash screen. i don't have an sd card adapter... so i had to put my micro in my old htc hero, run that as a mass storage unit, delete PG06IMG from the computer, boot into bootloader, delete everything, clean cache, davilk (i think that's what it's called), and re-load from nandroid backup. after that i saw 1.08... in about phone, baseband version so i guess i was successful lol. pain in the ass, but will further test it later outside and stuff... once the heat drops down over her in n.y. :]

Tmobile data speeds after ROM flashing

Ok, so I've been all thru the RIL thread, the radio thread, and pretty much every other regarding improving the data connection for Tmobile guys like me after flashing a new rom but the information I'm looking for is either too scattered or doesn't exist so here we go...
To all my fellow Tmobile'rs out there, what rom are you currently using, what radio, what RIL, and what are your data speeds averaging?
Currently I'm running:
P3Dneon 2.0
Leedroid Kernel V1.4
base: 10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15M
Ril: HTC-RIL 2.2.0159HMQ
Between 7 speedtests I did yesterday on a server 22 miles away here were my average speeds, all done between 6-11pm yesterday:
down: 2.70mbps
up: .25mbps
ping: 220
Interestingly enough, upon (so I thought) reflashing the HTC-RIL 2.2.0159HMQ today, my first speedtest immediately after yeilded 5.68mbps down/.44 up.
I attempted to repeat to see if it was consistant, but in the six tests I performed afterwards on the same server over the course of an hour I averaged
a measly .72mbps down/.22 up.
Now my phone is setup as well as it can be (wcdma preferred, phone is showing "H" and connected to hsdpa) but the data speeds are still absolutely horrible. Anyone having similiar issues or know any tricks to get the speeds back where they should be...?

I think you're right anyway...just sitting here watching my phone statistics now, it seems to be spending a lot of time in UMTS, and alternating to HSDPA every so often...

It seems to me that TMOUS users are getting screwed over with the flashing of the radio or new rom in general...
I went from a 6mbps down, 2mbps up with stock rom only rooted phone, to a 3mbps down 1 mbps up with the revHD and LD. I was on the recommended Radio for revHD and Stock radio with LD.
Running the stock rom with S - off and rooted. I am getting a very strong 7 - 9 MB Down and 3 MB up. Live in a suburb of Boston. These are speeds I'm getting during peak hours. (10 am - 6pm)
I do not want to loose those speeds so I'm waiting for a while to see the speeds others are maintaining after flashing new roms.

Hey guys. I'm using my Sensation 4G in NYC. I'm noticing sporadic changes in speed..drastic changes. At some point the download will be a great 3.5 Mbps, and the next second, it will be 200Kbps. I'm standing in the same spot with the same server, and ping of 200 ms.

getting download speeds 6 -7.5 mb almost every time. upload speeds are around 2-3 mb usually.

Hey guys. I'm using my Sensation 4G in NYC. I'm noticing sporadic changes in speed..drastic changes. At some point the download will be a great 3.5 Mbps, and the next second, it will be 200Kbps. I'm standing in the same spot with the same server, and ping of 200 ms.
I'm running all stock ROM, kernel, and radio. Are we thinking it's hardware right now, or does noone actually?

I'm starting to think it may be...or maybe it's disruption to cellular networks from the freakin solar flares I keep hearing about lol...
I just restored a nandroid of my stock rom and my first test got me 2.04/.21, second 2.94/.53, third shot up to 5.09/1.3, fourth back down to 2.37/.36, fifth 1.2/.66, and the last was pathetic at .57/.08. Starting to think maybe it's network or hardware related...???
I didn't install any radios or Ril's. Only Roms installed. I'm thinking about installing the stock rom back to see if it makes a difference.
Edit: How do I check RIL?

I played around with my stock rom and got over 5mbps a couple of times over the course of half an hour, which is quite a bit more than I did with any other rom. Going back to p3d neon 2.0 now with leedroid 1.4 kernel to see if speeds are any different...
My speeds match what I had stock. They do fluctuate but that's normal and it's the network, not the phone. Currently on InsertCoin Sense Android 2.3.4 with stock radio. I did flash the matching RIL from the thread mentioned. I've done this for every ROM update and speeds have been fine.
The "recommended radios" are probably not good for TMOUS Sensations. Just stay with stock radio and matching RIL unless you have some serious issues. If all else fails, there are some TMOUS based ROMs that shouldn't mess with speeds at all.
Installed the default RIL and have the stock radio. Still 1 mbps. Also I'm running a rom made by a USA user.

Could be the network at the moment. If it's a TMOUS based ROM and you're using stock radio and RIL, there really is nothing else I can think of that can affect data speed. Try doing a speed test on someone else's phone side-by-side with yours (and I really mean like in the same room, speeds can vary widely in different areas). Or do a nandroid backup and revert back to the stock ROM to test the speed. Then you can switch back easily.
