Really slow internet! - Samsung Infuse 4G

Using Scotts awesome cm10 ROM,
I'm getting approx. 300kb each way. I've tried both apn changes listed in the forums, but it didn't help at all. Speed test was done outside with full bars.
Should I look into flashing my modem next, or is there something else?
Thanks in advance for any support!

Bars and data are different...I can have no bars and still have data on my phone...I've had no bars and lte on my vivid...and even if you have a good data connection there are other factors that effect speed...could be a lot of traffic, maintenance on he cell towers...

I had the same problem with that ROM. I couldn't fix it and I flashed numerous modems.

Try a non CM Rom and see if it improves.

Go to your about phone section and see if your imei number shows. Let me know

It didn't happen with a non cm10 rom (months ago) and yes, my imei is shown

Solved?
Did you find an answer for this problem? I'm having the same issue and even worse, i'm getting really slow speeds (64kbps download - 240kbps upload) which is ridiculous.

Mobile data problems still...

Ok, I know I have complained about this before but when I am connected to mobile data I do not get what I am supposed to get.
I don't get "H" "4g"or "3g"all I get is
"1x"and "E"which sucks because the speed blows.
All I would like to know if there is a fix for this because I have had 4g with the stock rom and now I am on cdma which is odd
I also cannot select a band when I go into the "*#*#4636#*#*"menu -> phone information -> menu button-> select band
What I get is a "select [unsuccessful] (whichever band) message and sometimes a force close.
I don't know what to do any more because I made sure that the apn settings were correct and that I was connected to a tmobile network provider
Someone help please help me
Thanks in advance, googleme1

I would like to know this too because all I get is edge. If I reset connections, my phone picks up 4g and within a minute I'm back on Edge. It sucks. But what are the correct settings for above as I am using CM7 RC1.

Sorry that no one has attempted to answer your question. I've ran into this exact issue before. Redownload the rom and reflash it again. Once the phone boot up do not touch the phone for about 5-10 minutes! This step is important! Let the software settle in. Once its settled in then reboot the phone and then wait till your carrier (T-Mobile) pop up and then unlock the phone and depending on your area's coverage you shall now have 3g-4g signal.

T-Mobile is undergoing technical issues from a phone call I made over to them. They said that they are working on resolving the issue ASAP and that it should be within a couple of hours.

Your welcome and completely restart every single step you took to get the rom on the phone. That includes redownloading the rom and then reflashing it and just wait 5-10 minutes once it reboots. The reason why I say redo the step completely is because it could of been a bad download, a bad flash or just that you didn't give the software sometime to settle so to eliminate all possible issues do the whole step over completely!

[Q] Modems Kernels and other such things

Ok whats the best most stable modem for the Infuse? Like in terms of speed, network stability and battery life. Also was wondering if flashing some kind of kernel would improve anything.

Nope. Used it for 2-3 days and wifi actually works good. Everything is good, except for the battery drain. KI3 works best for me.

[Q] multitouch problems?

I'm running seans SKYICS 12.5
I used to use alot of emulators, such as gameboid. And I never had a problem playing games like super marios world. But now I can't seem to hold in A to run, and the D pad to move at the same time so I can actually run. Any suggestions on how to fix this? With using the emulator and noticing that problem, I'm now seeing it elsewhere, like when I type on the keyboard. I recently switched to swiftkey over swype and I thought it was just the new keyboard wasn't as quick as swype.. So I switched back to swype for a minute and it seems to be a multi touch problem..

You can update without base 5 several people have done it and confirmed its working fine, just update as usual. If you want his new base you could always flash, the only downside is if you update base you need to wipe, Happy flashing.

I just updated. Problem persists. I guess I should rephrase. Multitouch works, but not very well. Like I have a delay before what I'm second pressing will kick in. It might as well not work. Idk. I never had this problem on GB. Might be a ICS thing since seans roms are basically perfect.

I'm using CM10, and so far it's been great. I've had no problems. One feature I like the most is that you can respond to texts when you're not even on the MMS app.
Almost 3 full days. Not a single sleep of death. Battery life is on par with cm9. My only issue is a slight lag when unlocking the screen (about a quarter of a second)
It's a daily driver.

I find battery usage the biggest problem, can't even manage to make a half day with 3G data connection ON.
Web usage may be limited to max of 2hours. CM9 was better for battery for me could get a day with moderate usage.
Any body facing similar problem to me ? :banghead:

Network mode problems after cm10 and sim switch

I'm using an infuse 4g with JB 4.2.1 cm ROM. I unlocked my phone and put in a T-Mobile prepaid sim.
I'm supposed to have 4g consistently but I'm getting 2g(edge), 3g(umts) and on very rare occasions I get 3g(HSDPA)... Its approximately 70%-%20-%10, respectively. And these changes are all happening in the same household. No tower switching.
I only have the option to switch on 2g only in my network mode settings on cm10... APN settings are correct and all T-Mobile can say is that I won't get 4g if the tower doesn't support it..
Are there any possible solutions to obtain 4g at all?
If so, how do I keep it on all the time?
Do I need to install a new modem?
If so, which?
Any comments and/or answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Using Uckl2 at the moment. FYI.
Also, I know the modem is for WiFi but does it affect carrier data? If not what can I change to affect my data connection?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I always thought the opposite. I thought modems were only for mobile data. But does switching modems help?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Could increase or decrease your signal and rate at which data is downloaded and uploaded depending on your modem of choice. Battery life is also affected minimally (usually).
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Hmm, didn't know that... Well thanks for the lesson but have you tried switching modems?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I switched through a couple and uckl2 seems pretty stable but no change on carrier network service.. I want to put on kl3 but I can't find the download.. Not too many options for my phone though.. That I know of.

Since I changed to cm10 and switched to T-Mobile sim I have yet to have 4g. Tried where I'm at now and up to 70 miles from here... Very weird. I can't tell if its T-Mobile or the ROM.

Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that's what I'm thinking but when I called T-Mobile, they said that they cannot diagnose a non-tmobile phone. The only info that they can give me is that they assume its my location and possibly the modem but they cannot guarantee switching modems will work. Doubt they hack phones though, Lol
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
from my recollection..not from experience:
T-mobile or networks other than AT&T will only give you: edge or 3g.
No 4g or hpsa+
to get better than 3g, you need to be on AT&T
When the phone is on "H" I ran a speed test and its pushing 5 to 7 mb download speed. Is that close to 4g?
Any advice on how to stabilize the network?
