I read about all you guys downloading 2, 3, 4, and 5mbps. I average 1.5mbps
downloads (lets not even talk about upload speeds). The only way I see yall numbers if I am on wifi. I am in south La below New Orleans near the Gulf. I know I am not in the 4G area (yes we have 3G) but seems I should be getting better. Things I have tried and done. With all this changes and with stock phone/ROM my speeds have not changed. I am using the speedtest app for testing. I have tried different times and places etc...
Check with ATT and I am on the 4G plan
On the Gingerbeast ROM (have not tried any others)
Tried the Gingerbeast radio and ril
Tried the recommended ATT radio .06.06.30_M with recommended ril 2.2.0079HM
Tried the recommended ril for the ROSP ROM HTC-RIL 2.2.0018G with the ATT .06.06.30_M (currently running)
Also configure the APN for the recommended ATT phones (tweak the APN and added MediaNet
Well my speeds have not changes (if they did it is very minimal)
Just looking for any wisdom or suggestions as to what to try next. Maybe this is the best we can get down here also.....I dont know anyone that owns a Inspire to compare it to down here.
thanks
Call ATT and see if they're having tower issues in your area. They may be severely degraded.

If you can flash a ROM, radio and edit APN setting you can edit your build.prop. It's really easy to do with RootExplorer

Don't be intimidated because it looks all codey. Just make a backup and go for it, it's the best/fastest/easiest way to learn.
Hello,
I'm having a crazy issue right now, I have flashed insertcoin 3.2.7. and everything was working fine for about a day, and now i'm can't load webpages or any other thing that requires data. Not sure if this is a radio/ril issue, but if so can someone point me in the right direction as to that radio stuff is waaay more advanced then what i know.
Here is a list of the software info if that can help anyone to answer my question. TMOUS
HTC Sense version 3.5 Android version 2.3.5
kernel 2.6.35.13-gc35910f (believe stock???)
Baseband: 10.56.9035.00P_10.14.9035.01_M
Have tried to reflash, and also tried to factory reset in CWM and go back to previous backup and it says "check MD5 fail" or "no match" or something like that.
This really sucks, I would ask in the Insert Coin Thread but am a uber noob so can't post in dev forums. I have searched for hours and hours and can't find any posts like this. Please Help!

If trying to revert to an older nandroid, try the wipe script to reformat the ext4. Then try to restore again.
As for the radio and ril, you need to have those correspond. If the radio(baseband) is 10.14.9035.01_m you need the ril of HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ.
To flash a ril remember to mount/system in recovery before flashing

Jimmy,
Thanks for the response,
I tried the older nandroid restore after i used superwipe(mike1986) and worked this time. Thanks for the tip.
I actually do have that RIL flashed right now I did mount/system first too!! Thats why this is so confusing to me. I don't know is it something to do with wrong RUU? Ugh! FML ha ha.

It could be the rom trying to use an older radio/ril combo. I had the same radio and ril when I flashed the recent MIUI rom but I had to revert the radio back a few pegs to match the ril of the ROM.
Next time when flashing whichever rom you want, get the current ril of what the rom is. To check to see what RIL you have run getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl" in Terminal Emulator or adb shell and it will print out the RIL version!
Then you will need to pair the ril to the correct radio from there. In my case, I had the updated OTA Radio with the older ril and when I flashed the correct pairing ril, I couldn't get any data as well. I had to revert to an older radio/ril combo to get it to work. Kind of working backwards, but it worked in my case lol.

I believe the ROM is using EUROPE ril/radio combo, the dev is in bucarest. what I dont understand is, if I manually changed the radio/ril to a supposedly verified and working TMOUS combo, what would it have to do with the ROM's ril? As far as the ADB thing or Terminal Emulator idk what the eff happened to it (had adb shell, from "noob guide thread") its no longer on my comp and trying to re-install it is not working! Im sorry I feel like an idiot with all these issues i'm having. ha ha, but hey at least i can laugh about it!!!

Not 100% but the build.prop could be the issue. That's why I reverted to the oldest TMOUS radio and ril.
Use terminal emulator on your phone to get the ril and report back.

Ok man, after lots of tinkering on windows i managed to get adb shell working again, some how my ril is HTC-RIL 2.2.0190HMQ
???? so am i understanding now, that i am not installing the 169 ril correctly then??? thats what it appears to be to me
Also not aware if this matters or not buuut i'm on Android 2.3.5... so i dont know if 169 will work maybe?
***EDIT***
Ok so i added the 169 Ril and checked it in adb sure enough its there. so now i have matching ril/radio... super, got my H and 5 bars!!! but... my speeds are absolutely garbage! like 30 seconds to find closest server...
Ping is 653
DL is .11 Mbps
UL is .69 Mbps
why so sloooow?
Sorry man, I am not too familiar with Insert Coin. But whenever you flash a new rom or upgrade from an older version, the rils will always be overwritten from whatever the rom has.
Thanks anyways man, I appreciate the help/tips you shot my way, hopefully someone out there has seen this or has come across garbage ass speeds like this pathetic excuse for 4g! Lol, i'm just gonna cancel my data plan all together if i can't figure this out!!!

Make sure your on wcdma preferred under the phone settings when you go *#*#4636#*#*-phone information-towards the bottom a pull down menu should have wcdma preferred chosen. If that looks good go to your apn settings under mobile network and see if your APN Protocol is set to IPv6. Reboot and test.
---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------
Insertcoin now has an update to 3.3.0 from your version. I think he recommends a full wipe as well. And I noticed in the changelog that he matched the ril to the 10.58 radio.
So if you do go ahead with the update, first check the ril to see what the rom gives you. Try the update without changing anything. If you still read slow speeds, go and change the radio to match the ril, but PLEASE BE CAREFUL in flashing radios. It gets sticky if one doesn't know what they are doing.
And FYI, the MIUI rom I am using is also 2.3.5 base android. Also my avg speeds are about 3-4.5 mbps up and about 1.5 mbps down using a stock kernel.

And I am familiar with the MIUI rom, it looks really cool i flashed it at one point actually but it was complicated for a noob and not to my tasting.
under my APN settings these are my options... Please Tell me where to change IpV4 to IpV6... I cannot see anything that says "apn protocol" I have filled in the values that my phone reads under these options as well.

No man, I have not flashed that rom yet, I am actually trying out ARHD right now, its super smooth and fluid, but still same issues as far as the speeds are concerned. I dont believe it is an area specific thing because before I rooted my phone originally I had 4g everywhere, full bars, and decent speed (i think tmobile might be crooks. the speeds they claim... baahh ha!) but now my buddies phone, an older HTC non 4g model has around the same speeds i do, sometimes slower sometimes faster, and he's in 3g! its incredible!
I dont know, i'm about to give up hope and just live with these garbage speeds that i seem to be stuck with. I will probably do a complete superwipe and re-flash the most recent InsertCoin, it had so many perks that I really got used to and enjoyed. But I appreciate all the help you've been giving me man.

No problems. But if you are getting such craptastic speeds, can you go to a tmo store and speed test the other "fast" phones? I mean if they can't get at least 2mbps up, that's crazy and I would demand my money back from tmo because they aren't getting me the speed I am paying phone with the phone and plan combined.
Good luck!

Yes I have called them, at first I thought it was me going over my data plan limit and they were just throttling my speeds. but thats not the case. the rep reffered me to this website "www.dslreports.com/mspeed" and you chose the 5k one (it says you need to chose a bigger file) then select the 1MB one. She had told me that my speeds should report back at around 4,000+. Anything below 1,000 is not normal... My speeds were at 400! yes that was no typo... four hundred! lol. so she said she will put in a "service request" for this area i'm in. which pretty much means "f*ck off i dont know whats wrong, and i'm too busy to help you" but i digress. I will be traveling to my local store this weekend and raise hell until something gets fixed, either refund or new phone. Maybe i'll get the new Galaxy or HTC Amaze! Who knows! I dont know if it will be an issue tho with my phone being rooted and all. I will probably just flash one of those 4g icon add-ons and try and pull one over on them! But you are right, it is bull that i'm paying 79.99 per month for this b/s! I'm not looking forward to when the merger with AT&T official happens because as retarded as the TMo reps are, at least they are nice as hell, unlike the mostly all automated system AT&T has in place!
Hello my fellow G2x peeps.
Has CM7's APN problem ever been fixed? This was one of the main reasons i have avoided using any CM7 based roms is that the APNs never stick w/o pushing a previous xml config file. Just curous.
Thanks to all of the awesome custom rom developers for all of your efforts. WE LOVE YOU GUYS/GALS!!
happy holidays to all!
Never experienced the issue you describe, at least not under nightlie #201...
it was supposidly fixed a couple nightlies ago.
Try this
If your data network is not registering try this. It worked for me.
1. Go to the market and download this app called "APNs Backup (root)"
2. Open app, tap "Backup APNs", name it whatever
3. Then tap "Restore APNS"
4. Tap your save file. It should say rebooting.
5. When it turns back on, give it a second and make sure your data in network settings is checked along with 3G.
6. Tell us how it goes.
7. Good luck
thanks all!
ahh! good to know! thanks everyone for the tips/suggestions. i may have to give CM7 a go again. hell, i should just wait for CM9.
MIUI rom for G2x will def hold me over till CM9 or ICS ports get fixed up and released.
how is nightly 201 vs stable version? i had apn issues maybe? where i was recieving blank texts from my sister? this doesnt happen in weapon, so is the latest nightly better than weapon g2x? preformance wise?

CyanogenMod destroys stock based ROMs in performance.
APN issue has been fixed for me since the 180+ nightlies...
The 21-Dec nightly from Baldwin guy77 is pretty great!
No apn problems... GPS is also much better but there are other issues for a different thread there. (need APN's working to get GPS working )
What exactly do these things do? I'm on embryo 5.3 and the call quality is bad. It sounds like I'm under water. Will flashing a new radio or change apn help with this?
Sent from my S2 Skyrocket
Radio/Modem is basically how you get your signal or connection. Different versions may affect people differently depending on location, say if UCLF6 was better in Florida than in Texas or UCLF5 is better than UCLF6 in call quality (just an example), you just have to test which one you like the best when it comes down to customizing them.
APN can be included with radio/modem installations but its basically Access Point Names and its what the radio/modem uses to get their connection. If you have an APN for AT&T you use that, if you have an APN for Straight Talk you use that, some times there will be one specifically for LTE users and so forth.
Think of your Radio/Modem as your Cable Modem and think of APN as your provider.
Thank you so much man. One more question. I'm on stock uclf6 right now and when I flash...let's say embryo and it uses the same uclf6 but I get that under water sound, I can flash let's say uclf5? Would it be possible that would fix the problem? And it wouldn't affect me getting calls and texts?

Correct. You can flash any ics radio for skyrocket and still get calls/texts. I use ucalc4 cause it gives me the best signal and battery life. But it's all depending on your region. I'm in Louisville, Kentucky area.

Honestly, after I tried 4, I stopped looking. I seem to remember that uclf5 worked well too though. May try it. I've flashed a TON of radios, and not had any issues, I wouldn't worry too much about it as long as you get them from the skyrocket threads.

Hi I'm new to the whole root thing but I'd like to give my 5 cents as well as one question (This is especially for the Awesome producer of Dynamic 3.2 ROM)
I have a Originnaly Unlocked Note 3 N900a NC2 that after kit Kat update was pretty much ruined... Finally towelroot came, installed it then after rooting I downloaded busybox and safestrap 3.72 and finally Dynamic 3.2 Custom ROM. I fooled all the online instructions and now my phone feels so much better. The custom rom works flawlessly no doubt about it but , obviously there's gonna be a bit lol , one of my main issue with kitkat was that my 4G was totally ruined my speed test was giving the lowest numbers ever... Now this custom it's perfect but when I go on APN settings I can't access APN type because the ROM has 3 default settings: mms/internet/internet+mms and apparently for Straight Talk I think we are supposed have our own settings like " default,mms,supl,agps,fota,dun,hipri,entitle" this is just one example. Now my question is finally is there a way to work around this so I can type my own settings? Is there a set specific apn settings for Straight talk on this ROM? And finally for some reason my speed test only shows me servers from Florida and I am in NY and can't find any NY severs could that be the problem too? I just really need some Apn settings and an app to decrease my battery drain.
TO CONCLUDE ANYONE THAT HAS MY MODEL DEFINITELY GET TOWELROOT IT'S GENIUS. DO T FORGET TO DONATE!!!
PLEASE SOMEbody HELP ME thanks
