BAMF ICS Thunderbolt ROM Data Drops - Thunderbolt General

Good evening. Has anyone experienced any success with the data drops with the new radio combo. I have tried the combo for several days. As long as I have 4G data is fine. As soon as the connection switches to 3G and back to 4G, I have to reset data connection by turning on/off airplane mode. If anyone had this issue and no longer experiencing it, please advise what steps were taken to resolve. I have also performed a Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik.
Thanks again in advance!

This may not be helpfull because I have no idea what combos you are referring to but I can tell you I have had zero problems with 4g data drops and also no problems returning from 3g back to 4g since I loaded bamf ICS. I came from stock GB and never touched any radios.
Just tried to post a SS of my stuff but apparently its considered spam because I'm a noob? Lol

Thanks for the reply. Can you confirm the radio versions you are using?
I have Radio: 1.49.00.0406w_1
LTE: 0.01.79.0331w_1
Thanks again.

I am using the newest radios on this ROm, and I do get the data drops, but I don't think they are related to switching from 3G/4G, I think they just drop. And I had the same problem w/ the other radios as well. Not sure what it means, just trying to get to 10 posts so I can ask some F'n questions in the devolpment section

Well sorry no help here. Mine are the exact same. Wierd

Another noob here, but I tried the BAMF ICS as my first rom flash (I rooted to get rid of the bloatrware) and had lots of trouble dropping data with those same radios. My phone was also very laggy when running this. I just about had to count to 2 after I pressed on anything to wait for it to respond.
My second ROM flash was to Liquid's 2.6 beta ICS version. It doesn't have sense, but is much smoother and responsive. I'm also down to only dropping data once or twice a day from the multiple drops with the BAMF leak.
My biggest problem with the Liquid build is I don't know how to make the apps show up in a list instead of icon view.

Using the BAMF leak and the latest radio combo, I was having data drops at least 4 times a day. Just this morning I switched over to the Open Mobile radio combo and it's been solid the whole day.

I just flashed to liquid's ICS 2.7 last night and had data drops on .19. I moved to the leaked radio combo and it seems solid, but others have reported the opposite.

Here is the radio I am using with no data drops.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864157

With Liquid's latest AOSP release, I'm getting less data dropping than with the leak, in fact I've had none since I flashed it this morning
Edit: I'm using the .19 radios

Honestly, I think I've dropped data maybe once with the BAMF release, yet to drop at all on the new LiquidSmooth release, however my Wi-Fi now causes my phone to freeze when it's turned on.

LiquidSmooth Data Drops
Flashed Liquid IcS last night. Great work.....! While in the house no data drops. 4g rock solid. But outside different story. Drove through the city of Atlanta about 40 miles had 5 data drops.

try the leaked radio combo, .19 dropped like crazy for me but the leak has been solid. Unrelated, but my battery life on liquid's build is amazing.

Mine has been solid on the .19 radio. Much better than it was on my GB rom.

Anyone else have 3g problems?

My 3g always goes away and I have to cycle it in the pull down bar. It's not a huge problem but its annoying because it will always log me out of googl3 talk. Does anyone else have that problem. I've had it with every Rom I've tried. My phone also does random reset for no reason. Again I've had this problem with every Rom I have tried. Are these just known issues with the current radio are is there a fix for these? Any help would be great thanks.

It's a problem with the original and the leaked radio. I have it happen fairly frequently along with my signal dropping for unknown reasons. The radio firmware in the TB leaves a lot to be desired.
My 3G drops out and comes back but no random reboots. I am overclocked to 1.2 GHz running Bamf 1.6.2 remix with Ad's latest kernel and the latest leaked radios. I think it's mostly due to issues here in my area though (I had no LTE problems at work on Friday afternoon when it came back up.)
I have 3g drops as well. It happens randomly.
My 3G has been wacky the last few days. Constant drops (when they didn't happen before), and it has just been awfully slow. Hoping they are performing some maintenece for a nice 4G upgrade in my area
Thanks for your replies. It's nice to know I'm not alone. I did do that ##778 thing o heard about on here and cycles rev a. To enabled and now my 3g seems pretty consistent. I don't know what that changes though.

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 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.

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.

Unfortunately the speed test app doesn't work properly on GB roms so those results are most likely inaccurate. Try going to www.speakeasy.net and clicking on the speed test from the phone's browser.
After several runs through opera on speakeasy.net I'm consistently getting 15-17 down but still only ~1 up. Though it's much later at night so internet congestion is less than it was when I was testing earlier today, the EE4 radios do indeed appear to be somewhat faster. I haven't made any phone calls since I just flashed this a few minutes ago, the only thing I've tested is 4G data speed.
Interestingly, I seem to be getting better speeds by several mbps through opera than the stock GC 1.8 browser. Can someone else confirm this isn't just my connection flaking?
Does anyone else want this because of a crackling hiss and pop during phone calls on EP1X?
Yeah, I will give that a try.....
One other thing I noticed is, My phone is getting a bit heated. Current temperature is at 41 'C. I will keep monitoring the temperature tonight and see if its a temporary issue as I've been doing lot of speedtests now....
I was getting 7mbps down with the ep1f radios, but now getting 13 down wither ee4. Tested with speakeasy.

OK...so when I did the speed test on speakeasy through the phone browser I got 13 mbps (EE4 radio), and did it one more time to test and still got 13. I just did a test again but with wifi tether 3.1 b1 (w/infrastructure) on my computer and got 21 mbps (tested 5 times). I dont know whats going on.....
Thanks for all of the hard work kejar, I love gummycharged. How can we go back to the EE4 from the EP1F? Is it something we unzip and flash through odin, or can it be done through recovery?
Thanks!
unzip and flash through odin.
radio battery life
I'm running GB Eclipse 1.2 with baseband/radio EP1F , and I'm wondering if this'll improve battery life? Anyone notice improved battery life for this setup?
Seems to have helped mine somewhat. At work I am in a basement and before I was at -105 dBm. After flashing this I am at -90dBm. 4G Will not make it down here though

Unusual LTE speeds EP1f nameless kernel

Hey, just seeing if anyone has a fix for this. I am using the new nameless rom and it is amazing BUUUUTTTT my data speeds are only about 5mbps when I was getting 26mbps prior. I switched back to straight stock and it still is slower than I would like. Any advice on what I can do?
I have heard on a couple of threads that the speedtest.net app doesn't work right with this leak. Try using the speak easy website and do a speed test off that to see if your speeds change at all
Also this probably should be in the general section not the development section.
I've never pulled speeds that high I'm stuck st five and there a lte coverage throughout my whole city???

Not to say that you are wrong, but the kernel itself won't effect your data speed. If 4G turns on and is functional in the sense that you are able to use the 4G network, then the kernel is working as it should. It's possible that your area put a cap on the speed you were seeing, and now you are not seeing it. However, if you flash another kernel and are back up to the speed you were seeing, then I will definitely investigate.

I'm with him. Radio/modem would affect data speed, not kernel.
Has anyone tried the EE4 radio's I released yesterday?
I have read everywhere that 2.3.4 does not like speedtest
Kudos to this thread not getting roasted. I'm jealous. Especially in the development section.
Sorry, I put a new last night. The ep1h radio. I am going to try Kejar's EE4 radio tonight and hopefully that will fix it!!!
The EP1H radio will fix your problem and you'll be able to keep the GB leak, as you can flash the EP1H radio-only via Odin.

I have been running it all day and it's been working just fine. No more static when I receive phone calls. Thanks a ton for the EE4 radios.
Speedwise, running speed test from speedtest.net from my labtop via wireless tether, I'm seeing speeds of 10Mbps down and 1.3Mbps up. The speed differences for me in my area are the same from both the ep1h and ee4 radios. I ran 5 sets of test for each radio to the same server.

I didn't mean that gingerbread in general i just meant it seamed off using the speedtest app in these leaks. When i used the website i always averaged 3 or 4 extra mps down and about .5 to 1 mps up. I even used the same servers on both of them. I also heard the same for others but when i compared the website speed for the leaks to the speedtest app of froyo(EE4) they usually matched each other. So i have just been blaming the app for the mix up.

[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 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!
