4G rooted inspire speed is slow to fast

I have an Inspire that is rooted,and after 5 different Roms for1 day each, I have settled into the revolution ROM and it really works great.I have my unlimited plan4G (most of the time I think)and I have my tendering. My question is when running the "sweetest.com" application I get 331 down and 783 up inthe evening and 2592 down and 1447 up in the morning until about noon,is this network congestion? Is there a different radio mod or flash or something that software locks the radio in HSUDA mode or whatever is making it that fast?? If anyone knows of a setting or .apk that addresses this or a setting possibly I would appreciate it,or an explanation if its not a tweakable thing might save hours of obsessing over trying to fix it.Thanks, Vegas

Yeah, the slow speeds at times are due to all the iphones tying up the network.

Funny, but I notice my speeds do the same. But most of the time it's relatively good.

I definitely think this is network congestion. My best speeds are late at night (usually about 2.5 down/1.5 up). Most of the time my upload stays about the same (between 900k and 1.5mb), but my download goes anywhere from 400k to 2.5mb..or lower

So 2.5 down is the fastest I can expect and the radio with the Revolution ROM is the Best one I could be using? I have heard 4G was capable of 6mbps,No..Anyone?? Is it gonna get better in phases,anyone know the truth?Vegas

New radio = hot phone

Anyone else experiencing a hot backside of their tb on the new radio. Im even running battery saver mode, undervolted and no overclock.

no but im not a fan of this new radio.

I agree the radio is great. Just im cooking eggs with my tb.

i have been experiencing the same thing... big time !
regardless of what rom i use, sense/de-sense or aosp, the phone gets really hot after awhile. i've had a few instances where it got so hot that it froze the phone and i had to yank the battery and let it cool down.
for the hell of it, tried going back to an older radio and the problem went away.
damn.. did have a tad bit better battery on the new radio as well as a very slight improvement in reception... but considering the consequences of the new radio, it's better just to stick to an older one for now.

Was this only happening when using a 3G/4G connection or all the time? I haven't experienced that but I only switched to the new radio a few days ago and haven't done any long term mobile data usage with it yet. I do seem to pick up 4G at my work quicker and in places in the building where I couldn't before.

I thought I was the only one experiencing this. When I use it too much it gets like this. Or when I play madden 12 it gets that way too

I know i read if you undervolt it too much it can cause a phone to run hot if done incorrectly. Causes phone to work harder since it needs more power.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

Refering to a couple of the posts above, i am in a 3G only area but i do heavy usage(web, movies) so the phone will be on for a few hours at a time.
As for "undervolting", i use DreamKernal + SetCPU and just overclock to like 1222. I also have a profile set so when the screen is off it is set to max out at 368.
Oh, and for the heck of it tried that VZW thing with pulling the battery to reset location and.it didnt help with the heat either.
On a positive note, at least if your hands are cold(or other body part), then hey!

i think the kernels have alot to do with the heat as well. i doubt the leaked 802 radio will harm anyone's phone. i will admit its a very wonky radio for me. ive just recently combined the cdma 627 radio and the lte 802 radio and all is well. i went 23hrs on a stock battery with lte on all the time. im running cm7+kangbang kernel.

AND YOU ARE RUNNING TWO RADIOS ALL THE TIME WHEN ON 4G.

SOMEBODY SET US UP THE ROM !
as i said above, i get the "hot" phone issue also even though i'm in a 3G only area and have my phone set to CDMA auto (PRL).

I've been running the latest leak (2.11) rooted, along with the latest radios, for about a week now, and haven't noticed the back getting any hotter than it did before. I'll have to pay more attention and see.

Kernel+Radios=Bad reception ?

Hi there, I have a question!! Is it possible that a kernel x with radio x can interfere with the cellphone reception and cause bad reception on devices?
I used to be on aosp iml74k build 3 with Eugene's kernel and now I'm on glados 2.7 that comes with CyberGr Mod v3 Hybrid_ics rom and always used xxxkb3 radio. When I installed the new rom I did a full clean install even format my SD card.
Used to have at least umts and more but now after reboot or battery pulled I'm always on 2g and my settings are ok I checked it.
Am I missing something or it's not compatible?
Thanks in advance!!

Good luck with you answer... people here don't seem to care about others with signal problems.. I too would like to know about a fix for signal.. 1more day in my return period or else this things a goner
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

Cant really say for NS4g but gsm phones have multiple radios to choose from this is really only way to improve your signal
if you guy have more radios to choose from old or new try flashing another radio.
some have better luck with older some with newer
Or wait for proper ICS OTA for your 4g phone that will include new radio

IMO i would have gotten a galaxy s 2 from sprint much better phone than NS even better than the galaxy nexus. galaxy nexus is an overpriced watered down Gs2 with ****tier CPU and GPU only thing better is the qHDscreen.

[Q] NexusMod ICS Zero Beta 7 UCLD2 Radio slowness

Yes a noob to Android and yes, first post
Before my quick question I have to say thank you to M0D1441 for this ROM (and his contributors - it is absolutely amazing, and by far - the best ROM out there for Galaxy Skyrocket I727 users.
Flashed this Rom from stock I727R Rom last week and have had huge success with it and cannot wait for the update to this Beta 7.
However, since flashing the UCLD2 radio I notice significant slower speeds compared to whatever the stock was using. I have followed all procedures correctly, am able to auto switchover from LTE and HSPA+ and have had no issues with this ROM that anyone else has reported other than significantly slower speeds.
Max down on HSPA+ has been between 5 - 7 Mbs with upload at 0.2-0.56 Mbs and LTE down: 16-22Mbs (which is not bad) but have full bars and 2.78 up.
Even my home WiFi (802.11n) connection suffers from this new radio with dowload @ 18Mbs and up @ 0.56 compared to stock ROM speeds at least 38.6Mbs down and 3.7Mbs up.
My speeds with all connections with stock radio were, at bare minimum, double to what I am getting now.
I have flashed the UCLD2 radio a few times following procedures and still no change in speeds. I have read nightmare stories about switching back to older radios on the I727R and am nervous to do so.
Wondering if other Rogers users have experienced the same issue and if need be, what radio change to?
What was stock radio on Rogers I727R and is it compatible with the NexusMod ICS Zero Beta 7?
Is/can this UCLD2 radio be not fully compatible for Rogers customers in Canada?
Thanks a million in advance!

I'm on att and I haven't noticed a drop in speed I know its not Rodgers but I can't imagine its all that different

Keep in mind the modem is for AT&T, so not surprised you're seeing slower speeds on Rogers. Also, the modem, a.k.a. Radio has no affect on Wifi as Wifi is part of the kernel.
Bottom line, your experience is more than likely going to be a "best effort" at best; think of it like trying to install a Ford part on your Chevy car.

Thanks for your input. Yes, I figured this radio may only indeed be for AT&T but it is such a great modem/radio. My battery life is far superior with the UCDL2 as opposed to the stock KJ7 radio. Guess it's a toss between speed or bat life
As for WiFi, I realize this radio should have no effect on it but it is definitely slower with the UCLD2 modem. Strange - I will have to try and get this under the microscope and see how/if/what is effecting it.
This may be a dumb question (sorry) but can you use the stock radio with any ICS ROM or is that just going to cause nightmare issues?

Wow. Really? That's what I figured would happen for me but... not happening. The only thing I did not do was install busybox but I can't imagine that would make any difference to the radio.
I just want to make sure i am not damaging my phone by using this modem. maybe it just needs some settling time but it has been almost a week.
What kind of speeds are you getting?

I've had trouble with both leaked radios. Went back to GB/GB radio until a new leak shows up(hopefully rogers leak)

I totally hear ya. However, I have noticed something interesting which completely makes sense. After having the modem settle for a week now I have noticed that my daytime speeds on HSPA+ are slower compared to daytime. Now, Daytime on average is 9.51Mbs down and 1.27Mbs up (which is actually not bad) compared to night (after 9pm) getting an average 13.72Mbs down and 2.73Mbs up. I can't really complain as this seems the norm for GTA on Rogers.
LTE daytime speeds have now been an average of 23.7Mbs down and 3.78Mbs up compared to night time speeds of 31.2Mps down and 5.71up. And, this is on the outskirts of LTE in the East end!
However, my Wi-Fi speeds still suffer. My LTE speeds are far exceeding anything I get through my 802.11n router which maybe something in the Kernel which I will check out.
So really, I can no longer complain Guess it just took some time to settle in the device.
As for the Rogers ICS, according to this article: http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-reveals-us-ice-cream-sandwich-update-list , " The big picture is that if you've got a Galaxy Tab or Galaxy S II-class phone, chances are you're in line for an ICS update later in the year."
Ouch! Yet no announcement has been officially been made for North America. And, don't forget Rogers will need to test and ram it full of their bloatware before we see it!

Try LeeC's UCLA3 modem ported for ICS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567213
It says UCAL4, but it is 3. I found UCLD to be unreliable, and LeeC's fix is wonderful.
Good luck !

Thanks. I am going to give that one a try and see how it performs this weekend. Thanks for the link!

[Q] Bell HTC 1s Speeds

Hey what are some of the speeds people are getting with the Bell network (canadian) for their 1s....
I can only seem to get around 5 - 7mbps down max... anybody getting double digits?
also can you post your rom and radio specifications as well...

I'm with Bell as well in Toronto and my max download speed ever was 12MB/s and that was a peak realistically I only see about 4-8ish. I have a feeling though I'm being throttled. I found my data increassed slightly by removing the bell proxy in my APN. Would you be able to send me a screenshot of your APN so I can make sure mine is rightish.
I am running radio 1.06s with team venom Rom. I recently did an experiment with all the radios to see which one have me the best data and 1.06s was the most consistent. On a side note I couldn't believe how much data speed test can use. I used 450mB just on speed test
Sent from my viper powered HTC One S using xda premium

hmm ya im getting an average of between 4 - 8 as well... :S which makes no sense cuz this phone is able to handle so much more ...
the APN im using is the stock APN for bell which comes with Viper 1.2 rom... im currently using the 1.06 es radio... seems to be giving good signals but still bad download rate... ill try to upgrade to the new one and see what happens....
hmm also... using 450MB on a speed test is definitely not possible :S... u might have something else running in the background thats sucking it up...

I meant 450mb cumulative after testing multiple radios
