Ok...there are a number of us that no matter what we try we can not seem to get around the ATT throttle.
I just stumbled on this set up and it works for me, when nothing previously did.
CN's Use the telus Kj3 radio and the APN settings opencipher posted,select the new apn and then reset the data connection.
First off, you must be rooted.
In my case I am using a Tmobile Rom(DaBomb by TricH), with dag's .3 kernel
So far it is reported this does not work with:
SkyICS
I tested and it does work for me with
Quikwiz
DaBomb
Juggernaut 5.0
Test included
Darkside wipe
Flashed rom
Flashed Kernel
Installed Titsnium b/u
Restored Apn back up and restore
Restored speedtest app
Restored my apn settings that work (listed below)
Changed to Hspa apn
Speedtest showing great speeds
Changed to pta apn
Speedtest confirming throttle
download and flash this telus radio with CWM (thanks Mr X.. and cheyenne, and kr3w1337)
Add the following APN, no need to delete PTA, just add this APN (thanks opencipher)
The APN settings are:
Name: HSPA+ ATT
APN: Phone
APN Type: Internet
inbound MMS works for me with no other changes
outbound will require the following APN be added
Name: ATT WAP
APN: wap.cingular
proxy: wireless.cingular.com
mms proxy: wireless.cingular.com
mms port: 80
mcc: 310
mnc: 410
apn type: mms
NOW go through the mobile settings to "Network Mode" and go through the motions like you are going to change it. (it won't actually change, it just resets the data connection) Click ok when you get the unable to change message.
Update the thread if this works..
Please use this template.
ROM: current rom, tmo or att
Worked: y or n
screen shots of speeds would be great, as this is a dual channel HSPA radio.
I am going to come back and clean this up in a bit, and add ALL known working methods to this one thread as it seems one method works for some and another combo works for others.
I have verified...I can switch back and forth...PTA is still throttled, the other is not.
Here is the link to the stock radios so one can flash back when billing cycle restarts. Thanks TPC for this.

Can you post the stock radio? I'm in an LTE area and it doesn't look like this modem supports LTE. But I'd be willing to test this for you. I'm currently throttled, but my billing cycle starts over Tuesday

Are SkyICS, Bomraider, and juggs 2.3.6 based? I can't figure why it would not work on those.

One area of variation to note, is that the speed tests I did today seem to be accessing a server MUCH further away, yet results are faster. Not sure what the deal with that is. Maybe one of you with more knowledge in this area can educate me.

Improvement on data throughput, sat signal lock speed and MUCH better battery life.
Not sure about signal strength as that is not an issue for me.

well with the newer baseband your cell data isnt constantly searching for network, if u go into ur about settings u will see that, well mines isnt like the old baseband was so thus equals better battery life also see quicker speeds
I'm sure the new baseband makes some contribution to the improved battery life, but its not the whole story.
I flashed EB GB 2.3.3 several days ago and am also experiencing insanely improved battery life without the new baseband.

The majority of the juice used by your phone is for the radio. Then the screen, and then the processor.
Just wanted to share that using the Telus modem on the skyrocket leads to better speeds on HSPA for me. Reason being that the Telus modem has dual channel HSPA enabled so it should theoretically hit speeds of 42 mbps.
The modem can be found here. It is the Telus KJ3 modem.
This would work fine for both Rogers and AT&T users since Telus operates on the same frequencies. Share your experiences below if you try this please!
Thanks! i will give it a go.
Is it just thst radio or other tmo radios as well? i have been using kj7 ...will try the other

Am interested to see the results of your testing. Rogers and at&t don't have dual channel hspa on their network. Bell telus and T-Mobile do.
I use this modem on my device because I am on bell with good results.
However, I also use it as there is no lte in my area. If you use this modem you will not have lte as its not in there.

I don't have LTE in my area anyways so it doesn't matter. Rogers I think does have dual channel HSPA because the galaxy tab or some of the other stuff they sell uses it.

So does this modem support lte?

Nope they may use similar devices but have the functionality turned off since they dont support it.
I.e. the HTC raider (vivid) check out the specs of the rogers version vs bell both the same except the hspa speeds (21 vs 42)
At the same time. It doesn't hurt to instal it only when you venture into an lte are. For that I keep The rogers/att radios on my SD card so I can just flash them on.

I have been on ST for AT&T for 25 days now. I know exactly how many because I've already used 2.49 GB this month and I'm worried I'll get kicked. I can say that the service is good, and I love the freedom of not being tied to a contract (and I'm paying less than a lot of postpaid wireless subscribers to boot).
I was on Tmobile's $30 5 gig walmart plan but I was not able to get the Tmobile radios working on the i727 properly. I'm using the UCLF5 radio now for AT&T and I generally get between 2 and 4 mbit down.
been on straight talk for about a year now, before they offered BYOD, had to buy a phone and pull the sim out. i regularly do about 1.5-3.0 gig a month and have never received any type of notification or ever been throttled.
Never put in the proxy, no need to.
Here was a post i did with my current settings on sky ice 4.2f3

Google voice & straight talk & att mvno
I recently been trying out different att MVNO's. I tried used H20 Wireless and un-successfully never got conditional call forwarding to work. I read different articles and came to the conclusion that I would never get conditional call forwarding to work on any prepaid. However I wanted to try a different one and see. I said Straight Talk is cheaper so what the hell. I tried and it works perfectly. I just thought I would pass that along. Also running stock and latest build UCLF6.
Anyone on Straight Talk having issues with "Speed Test" and just that Apk download? I get between .5 - 2 m upload. Download will either say network issues or get 9 k.
Fix: I got everything to work by removing the proxy.mvno.tracfone.com

Hello fellow Canadians!
I just wanted to collect some information on what Radios/Modems you are using on your Galaxy S2 LTE. The reason is because I am using the UCLF6 Radio and I am having some performance issues on LTE and tethering on LTE so I wanted to know what radios are working for you. This is my current set up. Thanks you for your help!
ROM: Official CM 10.0 Stable
Radio: UCLF6
Carrier: Rogers
Happy Holidays!

Canada is pretty big I would recommend narrow it down a little as modems performance for me vary from west side to north east on the island I live (and thats just a 2-3 hour drive) I can't imagine the difference in the whole Canada.
Try UCLI3, it might work better for you. Really though, there isn't much harm in trying them, since switching is pretty painless.

I'm running stock Rogers ICS RUXLF3. Is there really any performance improvements by using any of the other radios? I noticed some people mentioning that the AT&T or Bell radios worked on Rogers - what is the purpose behind flashing another carrier's radio, is there actually an improvement?
I've switched from UCLF6 to UCLI3 but I still get horrible battery performance while in LTE...I've been using CpuSpy to check if the phone is going to deep sleep when not being used, and it is. I get 15-20% drop in battery within 2 hours when phone has an LTE signal. I live in the GTA in Ontario, I get full LTE signal so the phone shouldn't be boosting the amplifier to get a better signal.

I have the AT&T version of the S2 but I am presently in Ghana West Africa and will be here for at least another 6 months...in some places there is 4G I would love to know more about adjusting my radio/ modem...any advice?.....I am using Vodafone as my carrier I am running stock everything until I learn more about ICS or Jellybean
Hi, sorry I didn't notice your question until today. I believe when I posted that I was still running cm9.1. Since that I've been trying a few different jellybean Roms, since learning that they are compatible work ics radios.
They seemed ok at first. On RUXLF3 I've tried liquid smooth rc9 and sky jellybean. They both seemed to work ok at first. Great speed on the data. After a while I kept having no call audio and sometimes missing calls. Trying out UCLI3 on cm10. The data seems way slower, but if it's more reliable that's more important to me.
What is anyone else finding? It may have nothing to do with the radio too, I'm trying to figure it out.

I have been using the latest UCLK4 since yesterday and so far it seems a bit better, especially signal strength. I did some speed tests but they were inconclusive.

That's pretty awesome! Now how about for actual phone calling? Do you find it pretty reliable? On UCLI3 with Cm10 I'm only getting about 10 mbps download, but the phoning is working reliably. I work in deliveries, so I'm on the phone probably 20-30 times a day, I was having trouble actually making or receiving calls with sporadically on RUXLF3 with two different Roms, so I'm inclined to think the radio may be the cause. It would connect the call, but just have silence on both ends.

I havent had any complaints so far. This radio just came out a few days ago so I havent had many calls.
Ive probably made 5 or 6 calls at about 10 mins each and theyve all been good.

That sounds pretty good. Any chance after a week or so you'd be up for updating how it's working for you? I've just flashed so many Roms and radios in the past week. Flashing restores on the way to a delivery because my phone would stop working and I couldn't call for my next orders, haha. It wasn't fun.
I'm a little hesitant now that something is working, to put another one on it right away, unless people are finding it pretty stable for a little while. Are you up for doing that? Please and thanks.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Sure man. I'll check in again in about a week.

Awesome information! I've been using RUXLF3 on Official CM10 Stable and found it to be ok, haven't had any issues with voice calls. I am going to try UCLK4 and report back as well.
Cheers!
well guys i couldn't do it...
the speed was awesome but the problem i had appears to be caused by this radio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35417100#post35417100
was nice to have mid 50Mbps speeds but i had to switch back and i hope the super speeds didn't spoil me and that i don't start thinking 40Mbps is slow now. haha
seems it's not just isolated to me because i saw someone else posted they had the exact same problem happen in the leaked jb thread.
Just as the title says...will my skyrocket using a T-Mobile radio get LTE on T-Mobile's network? In case you don't already know they just fired their LTE network today and I'm really wanting to see if it will benefit us. Thanks!
Sent from my Skyrocket using XDA Premium
The only answer I can come up with is maybe.
T-mo is running LTE band 4 (1700MHz), which the Skyrocket is capable of, but who knows if it will actually work.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
I swear its capable of it, but only in AWS. The only LTE frequency it supports as far as I know is 700
Alittle while back, someone posted a screenshot of an AT&T Note 1 getting LTE on T-Mobile. So, in theory, it should work. But, I am yet to see word from anyone since w/ an AWS LTE radio device originally running on AT&T getting it to work on T-Mo's LTE. I'm in SF, but maybe the next time I visit San Jose, I'll flash an AT&T radio, or perhaps the 757m radio from Bell, and see what happens.

I think it should work because as far as I know here in Canada providers use 1700 for LTE, I don't think 700 is available for use yet up here. Rogers S2 LTE works on 1700 for LTE. To make it work you would probably just have to use the default AT&T radio or possibly load the Rogers radio, The only issue you will have is traveling to areas that use 1700 AWS for 3G & don't have LTE yet, you will be stuck in 2G.
Any luck?? I tried flashing the 757m radio but I had issues with data connection afterwards.... I have T-Mobile late now in my area and I would really like to get it on my skyrocket.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I think if you're using a skyrocket it would make more sense to use a skyrocket i727 native radio file like the one rogers has UXUMA7 and then find T-Mobile lte enabled APN information and just create a new APN for T-Mobile LTE.

Actually I tried exactly that radio and had same issues... I believe that my issues actually may be related to the fact that the T-Mobile radio I flashed includes ril files and the others do not...
By the way why would flashing a native radio make more sense than a radio that enables all bands that our hardware is capable of??

Because it's a radio developed specifically with our phone in mind, optimizing it's performance, minimizing risks for failure etc. On the other hand i would also like all the bands to be enabled.
T-Mobile LTE is now working well for me. Using i757 modem with LTE APN settings.

Did you change your apn settings at all?
Ok...
Stock UCMC1
Bell I757m radio
fast.tmobile.com apn
I got some faster results in some areas but didn't screenshot them..
I'm so happy with that combination....I'll be sad to lose the good current connection when I'll be back to KY, T-Mobile is no where fast there..
I actually did a few things then flashed a TMobile rom and alternate radio. My I727/T989 averages 10-12 mbps download speeds and 2-7 upload. Not that it's all that important a thing in life. I mean like, I gots stuff to do other than worry about data. I don't obsess er nothing. :cyclops:
Just for reference I ran a speed test on LTE.... 11mbps and 2mbps is good tho... Jk man

I heard of people using T-Mobile ROMs on their ATT skyrocket. I was trying to figure out the procedure for doing that. I have pretty much used every ROM there is for skyrocket and I would like to try something I haven't already. Do you just flash it normally? Or is there something extra you have to flash? Like a modem/radio? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
