4G Speeds of 1-2MBPS?

Running CM7 Test 4 on the new radio. Finally got 4G to switch on and stay on but my speeds are terribly low (0-2mbps). I believe im running REV A enabled per the advice of someone in the CM7 thread.. Any idea's? I was so happy to see that 4g icon light up but its still running like its on 3g.

It might be the network? I'm not saying it is but it's something to think about.

It would be helpful to know what area are you from. Could be network issue.
If you're in NYC the speeds should be normal.

I think it's something with cm7 and the recent 4g outage. Pretty sure slayher commented about it on his twitter. I'm sure it'll be fixed in an update soon.

For anyone interested it was the network. Rom works fine once its got a lock on 4g. Had it stable all day. Speeds shot back up without a reboot or anything

No 4g after custom ROM?

Hey guys, I've been modding phones since the razer days so i have some grip on what im doing here yet im a bit vexxed at the current situation.
I Carefully rooted and upgraded my sensation to onceICS rom using revoltonary tool, the appropriate firmware and an eventual radio update(just in case)
Since installing that rom i have had NO 4g connectivity. Ive been stuck in 3g dispite having 4g on the stock rom in the same location...
UPDATE i just RUU'd back to stock and i have 4G again. Is it possible that the oneICS rom is botched? Im hesitant to redo the root/custom rom process again if im going to lose 4g but i really dont see how this would affect it lol.
PS Yes, i did a speed test before and after. On th stock rom i hit about 10mps at my window and on the custom roms i was hitting 1.6mps..

Were the two speed tested in the same location?? I have flashed almost everything posted on the development section(Always bored at work), and i never had this issue.

T-Mobile 4g is still 3g, but your phone's hardware has to support a higher speed, which it does.
The 4g icon is actually lying, because its still based on 3g tech, just a faster back end. You're still getting your 4g speeds.

Lolol really? No man thats bs. I went from a nexus s (3g phone) to a 4g sensation and theres a huge difference in network speeds.

Did you miss the part where he said "but your phone's hardware has to support a higher speed"? Nexus did not have hardware support for higher speeds, Sensation does.
Get it?

It could be the Rom... Been seeing some complains about their signal strength is low when in ICS... That's why I'm still hesitant to upgrade... Try other Rom... I could be wrong though...

you missed the point completely. The nexus s doesn't support hspa+, so you'll never get any of the hspa+ speeds regardless of what you do.
The sensation, does. And the 4g/h icon is meaningless, as long as you're getting normal speeds. But the phone has to support hspa+ to get hspa+ speeds.

What are your benchmarks and speeds?

Wow, that's a lousy ping time...

Its Willy Waving time!!

Please post what rom, kernel etc you are on.

I am on stock and all I did was root and remove bloatware
How did you guys get 5200+?

Here's what I am getting.

I have no complaints while outdoors. The whole signal bug tends to kick in while on WiFi or inside any type of building and sometimes car though.

Great speeds. I've gotten up to 17 Mbps down. I notice you are getting really high pings like I sometimes have. Anyone know why they are so high? I never got anything close to those pings on Verizon or AT&T.

No idea.. by far the longest ping time on any of my devices. G2x, Amaze, MT4G Slide.. weird.

Hi
does anybody knows what the i/o means ?
Since the last upgrade this value is divides by 2.

I'm jealous, I only get 1.9 Mbps. The Netherlands only has 7Mbit hsdpa with a few areas having 14 and we pay 30 euros for only 1 gb of 14Mbit Internet...
4G network will be introduced in the following years.. Ugh

Think we need to wait for the kernel sources to be released, I get really ****ty speeds on CM9, and I believe it's because the kernel is only optimised for the stock ROM.

k.. I'm a total newbie... I just wanted to get rid of tmo bloatware and work on my battery life... is there a way to get back to stock rom and still have removed the bloatware and better battery?

Is this a myTouch 4G?

EDIT: I found out there is a section for it, here. Sorry for wasting your time!
Hello
I thought this phone was called an HTC Magic, but it appears there is no section for it here. Upon searching myTouch on Google, I get a photo of it.
Here is a photo of the phone I took:

}
(Had to resize it to a width of 500px as it didn't resize automatically)
My question - Is this a myTouch4G? I always called it a Magic.
Anyway, I want to know because I plan to experiment with this phone and install different ROMs etc, see what I can do with it (I've since owned an HTC Desire HD (which has now been lent to my mother, we don't buy separate phones now, she just takes my older ones as you will see why a couple of sentences on )and now a HTC One X) but I need to be sure I don't go off installing ROMs for another phone.. It's served myself, and then my mother (who has been using traditional phones, she's not very "tech-savvy") for near 3 years!
The phone is currently on Android ver 2.2.1.
Thanks to anyone who can help me

Lol. Welcome to XDA.

I think that's a MyTouch 3G. Not 100% but most likely. Look up HTC Magic on the cyanogenmod wiki it'll give you other names of it as well.

That's a magic, all right. On TMobile it was named the MyTouch3G. On Vodaphone, it was the HTC Magic. It's almost 3 years old. You can't put any of todays roms on it. Gingerbread is slow like molasses on that thing. I don't think you can give those away now, but it brings back memories.

Thanks. It's very slow. I only wanted to see what I could do with it, without worrying about bricking it, because if I did, it wouldn't matter.

Actually, it is a htc magic. You can put roms on it and its somewhat slow, but not that slow. I had the Mytouch 3G and in order to flash roms you need to boot into bootloader and see if its PVT Board 32A or 32B. If its 32A you're gonna like the development a lot better. Also you need to know how to change the engineering bootloader I'm sure a sub-forum thread will show you how to do that.

G and E icon?!

So I ended up activating my phone on 30 4g 5gb cap and 100 min. And i only get these icons and once in a while. 3g icon. My phone just got activated like an hour ago. Sorry for so many question im a mew tmobile costumer. So how do i get "4g"

Go into the dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
Now go into phone information. You may be able to select LTE from there.

The G icon is a known problem with any TORXX ROM. Search the viper thread.

So what rom do u reccomend?
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2

From what it seems like, you should have 4G. When not using data, your device switches to 3G mode (saves battery). As soon as you start to use data, it switches to 4G. US ROMs show the 4G icon at all times, but the same thing happens. EU ROMs show H instead of 4G but, again, it's all the same. Viper has a glitch where it shows G instead of H, it is annoying.
If you are still skeptical, try what someone mentioned above by typing to code into the dialer and choosing WCDMA preferred or auto modes. As for what ROM to use, it's all the same regarding data. I am on T-Mobile US and use viperOneS with full and stable 4G speeds. I also have the latest radio from the latest EU OTA; 2.31 or something like that.

As they say, opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one...I'd try them all and see what you can live with. Viper seems to be the most feature rich Sense ROM, but you have to accept that your signal indication may not be accurate. As they say in the Viper thread, just think of G as "Great" signal...try running a speed test and you'll probably see that you are getting 4G speeds when it says G
