HSPA / HSDPA question

I did an at&t pushed update on my wifes stock motorola bravo last night.... After doing the update I noticed under mobile network type her phone now has HSPA. I am on a rooted HSUPA rom on my inspire and under network type on my phone it say HSDPA.
Is my wifes stock phone getting a better connection than my rooted rom'd phone.
Thanks

Have you tested each devices throughput yet?

Just using speed test and they were close to the same ... That being said I live in a crappy location for checking speeds using speed test or something .... I can run a test and got 2.0 down 1.5 up and then hit the restest button and get
100k down and 100k up.
So my speed test results are all over the place
If I remeber correctly on her bravo under network connection type before the update last night it use be UMTS

Well the rooting process and flashing a Rom breaks the "4g" connection. I was on the inspired saga Rom yesterday and it showed the h+ icon so I can I speed test. I couldn't even get above 1 megabit so I returned my phone to stock because I'm getting this one replaced. I ran a speed test again and get 2 to 2 and a half down and 1 up

That's incorrect. I'm running CM7 and consistently see low 2's to mid 3's down during off peak times and 1.3-5 up.

Still waiting for better speed. My cappy is blowing the inspire away. I'm getting consistant 3.9-4.1 down and 1.5 up. Poor inspire is getting anywhere from 1.0 to 2.1 down and a shamefull 256k up

You caught my attention when I read that you were getting 5mb/s HSUPA speeds. But then I looked at your screenshot and you're maxing out at 1.3 up just like the rest of us (your higher upload speeds have the wifi icon next to them).

I see how what I wrote could easily be mistaken. What I meant was 1.2 to 1.5 up. I'm sorry, I worded that poorly.

Rom or Rom+Kernel with best battery duration known?

So ye, maybe tonight or tomorrow a storm will come and probably will have no electric power, I have 3 batteries but just in case it takes long to get electricity back I wanna know what rom or rom/kernel combination has been proved to be one of the bests battery saver.
I know I might get shot by the search police but I made this new topic cuz roms get updated everytime and old searches can point me out outdated answers, plus I need a quick response since the storm might start tonight, thanks.

There's no definitive BEST. It's all about what you do and how well you manage it. I get pretty great battery life with CM7 and LordMod's kernel. But some people have battery drain issues with cm7 nightlies. It's more about you and your phone. Experiment, try stuff out, see what works best for you.

Thanks I will download CM7 now

I recommend using the Nightly builds, it intimidates some people who are new to CM7 but they are really good and for the most part very stable.

I recommend any aosp build. I'm on miui with the lordmod kernel and you can go days if you turn off data, which isn't necessary in an emergency situation like you are describing .

YO Thanks again, CM7+BFSLordmod with the stable puv gave me 10 hours (data/sync off and screen most of the time off) and it was still at 91%!!! thanks a lot.
Im surprised how leedroid and other sense based roms now drain a lot of batteries! maybe cuz of the new sense, I remember leedroid gave me better battery results in the past similar to cm7.

I'd go with ninja its got better battery life and is even smoother

[MODEMS] I897 Captivate Modem Comparisons

This (not very scientific) test was all done on Serenity KJ3 4.2. I ran the test 3 times and in order to get an average. It was done in the same location, with the same server chosen in SpeedTest Mobile app. I did this mainly to pinpoint which captivate modem worked best for me in my area (South East Florida), so keep in mind that you will probably get different results depending on where you are.
I'm just sharing this in case someone finds it useful. I'll try and add new modems as they come out.

Problem is that you're not the only one on the network when the tests are being run!

No, that's not a problem ..

Well, I ran this at like 4 am when I couldn't get to sleep.. Don't know how many people were on at the time, but I'm sure it's less than usual lol
Either way, like I said in the OP, this a very non-scientific test.

What about 1900 vs 850mhz?
I've done the "test" in the past with i9000 modems.... but I separated the frequencies cause it makes a difference.
Also signal strength..... I made sure that I had greater than -85db

Good suggestions.. I'll do a more in depth test when I get a chance. I just got lazy since these modems are RAT Restricted, and doing the little trick to change frequencies takes longer..

no problem... I do think though that the RAT issue is phone related...... I have no issues getting in to service mode.
I have a 1008.

running miui rom, cm7 kernel, and living in south america, which modem will be better for me?
Any help will be apreciated.

Interesting, thanks!

Has anyone tried BVJJW2?

Flashed recovery file and now only 3g

Ok first off sorry if this has been asked already I looked around but couldn't find anything.
I wanted to see what progress had been made on the lord's 4.0.3 beta so I downloaded the zip. Made a CWM backup and flashed the beta. Then I was finished looking around I wiped/factory reset and the cache. Then used CWM's recovery to get back to my old and stable rom.
I rebooted many times but cant seem to get back my 4gish connection (I'm on AT&T). I checked the radio and its fine.
Please help an explanation as to y would be great. I'm trying to learn as much about this as I can so I can maybe start a little development in my spake time.
Thank you and dry again it this is a repost.

What speeds are you getting? There may be network issues in your area.

I'm only getting about 0.5 to 1.5 mbps. I had averaged around 3.0 and sometimes even up to 5 sometimes before.
Sent from my HTC Inspire

I have the same problem.
I'm starting to think it might be a problem in the build.prop or framework.apk configuration data of Lord's ICS.
I've noticed that I can re-flash my radio to 26.10.04.03_M and get back to HSDPA for like two hours, then it gets stuck in 3G.
I recovered Android Revolution 6.3.1 and it also was stuck on 3G, this worries me that it might be a radio problem.
Still looking for a solution, if I found one I'll let you know.

Thanks
I just flashed Lords v1.5 and my signal is good so far. My download speeds are extremely good compared to what I had before. Averaging around 4-5 mbps! We will see through out the week how it goes though.

Seeing great speeds on V1.5 also. i'm thinking it may be a service issue. I can get 3-4 mbps averaged, and then depending on location from my main tower only 3 blocks away, will see a drop of nearly 50% in speed. then returning to the area will restore speed to normal.
I cant say for sure, but my opinion is that the kernel in "not" the problem...and the current hack kit radio is running just fine also...
I'll monitor for a few days, and post any negative connection issues. (if any)...g

I am using Lord's 2.0 and works just fine in the ogden/ ut area... Two people in UT? lol

[Q] Wifi slow with cm7.1 dhd

I have recently noticed that my wifi has dropped in download speed since changing over to cm7. I've been trying to read up on the cm7 forum. But its a daunting task and haven't found anyone with the same issue. I went from averaging around 18mbps to 22mbps download speed to around 6mbps on wifi. Upload doesn't seem to be affected at all, still running at around 4mbps. Ping time has also gone up.
I work for the internet provider so I have trouble shot everything on my end.
Just wondering if there is a patch or fix or even somewhere to read up on this issue. Cause right now my h+ speed is almost as fast as my wifi and that sucks.
Radio 12.39.60.19u_26.06.04.06_M
RIL 2.2.0018G
Mod CM7.1 dhd
Kernel 2.6.35.14-LorDmodUE-8.6-cmCFS+

Well I've tweeked about everything I can think of with no avail. Still can't get the wifi back to stock performance.
The thing that boggles me the most is at one point I did a battery pull and on reboot my phone for about 60 sec. had peak wifi download speed. But after that it went back to the same slow speeds I reported in the first post. Anyone with any ideas or has had and fixed this problem please let me know.

what mode is your phone connecting to your wireless router? you should be able to see that on the routers status page.

What do you mean by mode? Its running dhcp/static IP, wpa2psk-tkip security. Running on channel 11 mode supports B,G,N bands.
Doesn't seem to show what band my phone is actually connecting in the status.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA

I really don't think its the router. Running blast internet on the newest gateway Comcast offers. Plus I've changed all the settings removed all security and same issue.
Wifi worked fine on stock rom before and after s-off with bubbys root. My girlfriends optimistic/Phoenix droid gets good wifi.
Wifi has been choppy and slow every since I loaded cm7. No change when switching kernels from cm7's to lorDmods.
Talked to lordmod and the issue doesn't seem to be in his kernel. Which I figured because it was since I didn't work with cm7s either.
From what I can tell I have the right radio combo.
I'm wondering if there is a setting in like build.prop to adjust the band. It seems like I'm running b or g bandwidth. Or a conflicting code?

Not really sure what did it. But just for the record.
Loaded leedroidv5.1.1..... [edit].... full factory wipe internal and SD, Reloaded cm7, manually loaded all apps, flashed GPS patch (works great), changed wifi scan in build.prop from 15 to 180, reboot and golden!!!!!
It was either the GPS patch or the build.prop edit or a combo of the two that did it.
So happy!

please dont post negative comments about roms. Lee does an amazing job and puts in a lot of hours of work for his products. glad you fixed your wifi though.

I agree I think leedroid is a very well done rom. Dont mean it negatively. Just to heavy for me not a big sense fan. Just switched to that rom to see if I had the same issue on a sense rom.
