Hello, so basically I have rooted my Speedy from 2.3.4 by using the bootloader unlock method posted by VICODAN in his tutorial but now I find that I am having insanely slow download/upload speeds compared to before rooting.
I have flashed the latest radio after finding THIS thread and I also tried the method from HERE to try and at least boost my speeds. I have also updated my profile and PRL through my Sense rom but nothing seems to help.
If anyone could give me any advice I would greatly appreciated it. I am on MikShifted-G v2.1 running dodgekernal v1.6. Thanks in advance.
I would also like to know if there is any way that I can go back to the stock 2.3.4 GB.

Well I've found that your speeds depend on what time of day it is. I know that's BS, but it's what I've found. Posted some Screen Shots Below of my Speeds.
The only time I get decent speeds from sprint is at night. Like 2am night.
You could also try the 3G Turbo Charger. You'll find it on THIS thread. Just make sure to read before installing.

Maybe you had roaming enabled in your old/stock rom and it's turned off be default in your new rom?
Well the thing is that I had perfectly fine speeds in my area prior to rooting.
I downloaded the "Network signal speeds booster" and "Fresh netowork booster", both from the play store and I am having almost back to normal speeds now, there was a dramatic increase in speed after I used both of those.
But I have also looked at the 3G Turbo Charger thread that prboy linked and I will definitely be trying that as well

Well I've actually redone the Tests recently. Certain times of the day in my area must have some Heavy Network Traffic. Because the Network does slow down at the same times daily. But only during the week . Strangely enough I just noticed that I posted the wrong Screenshot . Although I do have to admit I'm not exactly a Scientist .
Haha yeah, but thats good to know, and yes, kinda weird that you would get faster speed on weekends you would think that it would be the other way around.
But anyway, thanks for sharing your results, I've done some tests recently too and they seem to be following a similar pattern...so even though you may not be a scientist, there is some truth to what you said

Yeah it's really bad from like 5 to 8 PM... You wanna see good 3G speeds, get on there at 3 or 4 AM, crazy good speeds cuz nobody's using the network... Except people like me who set stuff to download before they go to bed LOL
My 3g is really bad and it does not matter what time of day. 4g does not exist here, I am going to try 3g supercharger this weekend and see if I can make some progress.

I've had good results with the 3G TurboCharger. It just took a few tries before I found the correct setting. Downloading the App Speedtest.net will help you dial it in.
Tried 3g supercharger without any sucess. Perhaps someday the signal will get better.

You can change the PRL without QSPT if your on a Sense Rom. Check out THIS Guide. Just be warned using certain PRL's can get you into issues with Sprint because of constant Roaming. Also you may want to do a search for the latest PRL's, as the ones linked in the post seem to be bit old.

Me? nope... I used to get 6mbps down and 2mbps up
I think they are working on the towers here in my area.
I did notice the speeds are not 100% all the time, they jump from 2 - 6 Mbps depending on time of day / weather / and everything else but knowing the phone "can hit 6" makes me feel better about "when AT&T" gets everything going it *should* be pretty fast

Really which is best is very subjective. I have personally never seen a difference with any of them. Theoretically though, the latest one should be the best one. Here is the link to the thread in the development section.

Thanks for the reply. I have seen that thread and tried all except the KD8, I didn't notice a difference with any but LC1. My signal seemed the same but my speed tests were faster at home with the airave. Which I know runs the same 3g speed constantly. . . According to my other phones. The point of the post really was to see if anyone knew of a better radio. In their opinion besides the ones on that list. But I will update after I try the KD8.

No noticeable difference between the two.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA
Wifi speeds are not necessarily dependent on the used baseband firmware. Wifi speeds are influenced in fact much more by the used drivers (corresponding shared objects with "so" extension and library files) and its bugs. These drivers are located on the system partition. Official binary blobs containing wifi drivers can be downloaded. The official ROM uses binary blobs (proprietary SW) for wifi operation. Though some custom ROMs may contain open source drivers.

There aren't different radios than those. If you see a different radio not in that list, you should probably not flash it if they're claiming it's for our phone. Obviously a new radio could come out again and there could technically be some radio that never went official but if those make it into the public, the thread would likely be updated and have them.

May seem like a noob question, but how does this affect your contract and things like that? Like its not going to give me surcharges or anything? It just increaces the ability of the radio already built in?

If anything, it'll make you hit your 4G cap faster and they'll just throttle you down to 3G...haha.
Weird, but I'm noticing a higher battery life due to this modem.
Maybe I made some othr significant change right before flashing the modem that I forgot about, but I have to ask. Is anyone else's phone being significantly more responsive? Especially during gpu intensive tasks. For example like playing temple run

Maybe obvious, but just for clarity and safety ... you mean you removed that stuff from the ZIP in this thread, not that some things need to be removed from the phone in order to successfully flash this radio ROM. Right?
I beleave he removed the /libs from the original zip so it would flash correctly (only guessing since thats what it took for me to flash the original onto my phone an notice a difference)
Modem flashing is a huge thing over in the captivate forum its nothing new.

hey there I/'m living in St. Kitts in the Caribbean.
LIME the network provider upgraded from EDGE to 4g on Friday, but I realise since then my phone is only showing H (3G) and not H+(4G).
i am wondering if this has anything to do with the rom i'm currently running (trickdroid) or not?
I was in the city centre friday night where they had the launch and pretty close to the cell tower so I know distance isn't the issue
Thanks for the help in advance
Most roms don't display the +. Its purely cosmetic. Only roms I know that display it are based on the inspire 3.20 version.
Again its purely cosmetic and does not effect speed. Heck the phone is only capable of 14mbs Max. I would say 3.5 g Max
Thanks for the response I was just wondering. Makes sense with what you are saying. And I just realise something I tried another Rom, it wasn't even loading so had to restor this on and realised that while booting up it went from E to 3G to H. But I don't think I'm getting even 2 mb from this will take a screen shot and post to you.thx again for the response.

Depending on what ROM you're using, I've found Speedtest to be somewhat unreliable for whatever reason. For example, I'm running Sabsa Prime 7.0. When I do a test on wifi, I get 15+mbps down and around 4mbps up with 30 ping. When I run it on 4g, I get 7kbps down and 2mbps up with 150 ping. Obviously my actual 4g speeds are not 7kbps. On ARHD with the same radio the test showed 6-8mbps down and 3.5mbps up with 70 ping.
In summary, unless you feel that your real use speed is really that slow, forget what Speedtest says.
Ok cool got you.
But I can tell it's really slow as well. I will try one of those other rims cause this one iy takes a while to switch to programs etc. And I don't have a lot running in the background. The only thing I've realise though is that I've not yet learned how to bring over my settings ( WiFi and apn etc even my contacts ) when going from one Rom.to the the next.

Actually...
If you edit your build.prop, faster speeds can be obtained.
Also H+ is 4G, but its not like LTE speeds or anywhere close. It is more like a couple mbs above 3G.
Speedtest is fine. Your data icon will sometimes lie to you. No joke. It'll say H+, but in reality it is 3G. All depends on your signal strength.
- hit my thanks button if i helped you -
Thanks, how do I edit my build?
I am not sure what's going on it is.very slow and I am wondering if the Rom is the problem wondering if I should go back to the original 4g Rom that came with the phone

You'll need an app like "Root Explorer". Through the app you navigate to "/system" and long press the "build.prop" and edit. You may encounter an error message with something like "file is in read-only" which then you will have to change the settings to "write only" or something like that to edit which can be done in the explorer app. Once you get that far you can edit the build.prop to your liking. For settings that people have found useful search the forums.

Sorry if this has been asked, but I didn't see it posted on here....
So when I'm in the Speedtest app, I can changer servers and there can be quite a difference in speeds...So I'm curious is this something that can be done with the phone, changing server to increase DL/UL speeds, as well as ping times?
Again, I truly apologize if this is redundant, if so, please delete this thread...
Thank you in advance for any help,
Chris
That really don't change anything on your phone, it just changes the server you ping to test speeds. Some servers are busier than others causing you to get different speeds. What matters most would be where you are at when you test it.

Thank you for the quick answer! Does changing the radio have much of an effect?
Radios are trial and error. You need to find the one that works best for your area. But always try and start with the one that goes with your rom version.

You want radio that matches your tower. I'm in middle of full time 4G and have to drive 50 miles to get 3G handoff so radios are irrelevant. If in area like mine you need to use newest radios cause we have newest or most upgraded towers.
