Hi all,
I picked up a used Hermes a little while ago and have been flashing and reflashing everything I can get my hands on
I'm currently on vp3G's 3.62 w/ 1.47.00.10, HardSPL & oli's.
This weekend I tried radio 1.54 and then 1.54.7 but on both were extremely slow on 3g speed tests so I went back to 1.47, but am now lacking on speed there as well. Prior to trying the 1.54's I would sit about 600-700kbps, and now 50-120kbps.
I tried reflashing radio, radio + ROM, ROM, etc. multiple times, but to no avail. No extra programs installed yet either. Just basic settings.
Anyone have any idea what I did? =)
make sure the rom your using has HSDPA enabled.
See my post in the 1.58 radio thread for some interesting findings after I ran some tests on the new 1.58 radio. Even if you've decided to leave your Athena stock, you need to make this upgrade.

bull****.

wiki your help!
You prove your ignorance.
Sure the other versions support 3G/H. Ive used 1.47, 1.50, 1.57 and now 1.58 and yes they support high-speed protocols.
If you actually read my post in the other thread you would see I said that 1.58 does high-speed much faster than the other radio versions and has much higher sensitivity thresholds.
But you were too busy being self-important... and wrong ... to do that. Enjoy your far-slower radio version.
I am using 1.58 and for the first time in my athena owner life I an having really fast UPLOAD. PLUS I have 3G coverage in the same places where I had 2G before (inside my home, inside my office and it is hard to believe they changed the cell in both places at the same time).
In some other places I have HSUPA coverage too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Uplink_Packet_Access
The overall feeling is also a fast download. I think download does not start until it receives the request of the upload. That's why I noticed it right away for surfing and mail reading. I normally download only a small portion of the mail, and if I want it I click to download the rest. With previous radio, the waiting time to get the rest was noticeably longer.
It's good having someone actually measure the improvement. Thanks techntrek.
Glad to post the numbers. I would be interested in seeing numbers from others (before and after).
New all-time best speed, yesterday. Previously my best was 983 kbps. Now it is 1169 kbps.
wow.
Hi
I get a message that the file is corrupted (#270) I came to 7%, then the device resets.
Any suggestions
Hans
Try to re-download the installer.
Hi
Did that twice. Are going to try again tomorrow
Hans
Are you fully unlocked?
Hi, Still no luck. Maybe a stupied question but what do you meen about unlocked? I can use my x7500 with any "phonecompany" that I want. I don´t have to use someone special.
Hans
Unless you have specifically run olipro's unlocking software you are only sim unlocked. His software takes away the remaining locks, such as the one that allows you to install non-factory roms (such as the radio rom). Look in the "hard-spl..." thread in this sub-forum.
I will do that, thanks for your help
Hans
Recently I flashed my radio from 1.50 to 1.58 and I must say it is a lot better! I get HSDPA at all times now where before it would occasionally swap between Edge, 3G and H now it stays solid H all the time and goes to Edge only where there is really no 3G available.
I also noticed that at home for example. I always got a very weak H signal, but after the upgrade I get two bars at all times, also tested with Skype, seems to run smoother and I don't get as many disconnected calls as before.
I suggest everybody should upgrade the radio, it is well worth it!
michyprima r4 radio 1.58
x7501 running michy's r4 with radio 1.58, can rec calls or mms, infact the speed is great when it works, but stability has gone way down, i've seen a lot of people using connex to go back to 1.2spl and then using 2.04d with r1.58. i was wondering if people could post what roms they are using that they see good stability with.
My SPL is 1.2 and the stock rom WM6. I see a huge performance differance with this radio over 1.50, no stability issuses at all.

AP4, no difference with older radios or this one - all stable.
Michi's V4 SPL 1.2 and 1.58. Coming from stock and stock WM6 there is a good performance increase in radio, typically at least 1 more bar wherever I am and no stability issues.
I have currently this versions of radio:
N_01.92.00R
Is there a new one? I think I have a radio issue, because I don't get 3g in some places and it takes quite some to scan for networks also wifi signal is quite weak or even absent. Or maybe it isn't a radio problem?
Cyanogen 7.1 is the rom I use.
Thanks.
Bump, i have the same issues, sometimes weak 3g in a strong 3g area, but it subsides after a while and i get fast speeds.
Got the same problem. Any one know where to download UK radios for Atrix? All the threads I've found contain US etc radios but UK radio links are dead.
I got no issues and strong 3g/H signal on T-Mobile UK with the N_01.100.00R (OrangeFR) Radio.
Been using it for close to 10 months. Strong WiFi (for me) too.
Its located in the Development thread somewhere, I think with the fruitcakes? It was CWM flashable. If yua cant find it i will try to find it. or backup my radio if that is possible.

69 pages of fruitcakes later and it seems like a bit of a goose chase. Can you please be more specific?

Well I did say I 'think' it was in the fruitcake thread (I did download it last year).. Just looked myself and looks like the link I was thinking of is dead anyway... however..
Download and flash the file attached to this post this via CWM Recovery.

There doesn't seem to be a "Thanks" button, so, Many thanks for your help.
I have had my Thunderbolt for over a year now and have been flashing numerous ROM's/radios since. I have always had great success in each one and as time has passed, newer and better ROM's having been coming out. I currently have the Full Blown Thunderstick ROM which I have found to be the best and smoothest ROM to date. There is only one probem.
I have noticed a drastic difference in the speeds while using this ROM/radio compared to all the ones used prior. I have flashed this ROM and it's respective radio on my Thunderbolt and numerous others and I still have the same issues with all. Can someone tell me why I went from 15mb down/7 mb up speeds which I had prior to now 3-4 mb down/.5-1mb up speeds with this MR4 setup? Also, why won't the ROM let me use the Wireless Tether for Root Users in addition to the Wi-Fi Hotspot one it came with? When I try to run and connect to it from any laptop, it says it's unable to connect the network address although I have no problem connecting to the Wi-Fi Hotspot one. But sometimes with the Wi-Fi Hotspot the ROM came with, it drops connectivity. It feels like it's not using the 4G LTE speeds but only the 3G speeds only.
Just curious, did you search first? The answer for wifi tether has been posted atleast 100 times. I posted it as recently as 2 days ago. As far as speeds, speedtest.net does not work properly with that rom, your info is not correct.

Oh I read the whole thread and I didnt really see anything that answered these questions. Im not going with speedtest.net. Im judging it based on certain websites and web-based programs which are now slower since I installed the ROM.
Did you try Barnacle? I haven't used the ROM you have, I run Liquid.
Most people claim that Wireless Tether works great with Liquid, but I couldn't get it to work. Once I used Barnacle, it not only worked, but I've been getting great speeds with it.
You need to run Imoseyon's kernel to fix the speed issue. It's been widely documented and discussed in almost every MR4 rom thread.
I'vd had the lean kernel flashed since the beginning and still no change in speeds
IMO kernal

which IMO kernel are you using? I believe for mr4 you want v5.2.0. I have it if you cant find a link. pm me
i am using v6.1.0 which was documented to use
Hi Guys,
I recently got the SG2 on AT&T (i777) and the first day I had it stock I was getting consistent H+ connection in my house and pretty much everywhere I was going. I ran the speedtest app a couple times, and I was averaging 2.5-4 mbps downloading which wasn't too bad.
That same night I rooted the phone and flashed Phonebreaker 2.1 rom following the correct steps (Not my first time rooting/flashing roms, I've done it to my Tmobile SG2 a few times). However the following day it seems my data connection has become inconsistent and speeds have slowed down to a drag. The indicator on the phone can never stay on H+ or even H..it consistently cycles from H+ to 3G to H (tried it in same locations as the first day with the phone). I ran the speedtest a few times and my download speeds ranged from 300Kbps to 1.6mbps if I was lucky.
I tried looking around in all the forums, I re-did the APN settings found in these forums, I troubleshooted with AT&T but to no avail.
Anyone have any suggestions? Would much appreciate it as I love this ROM minus this data issue I'm having.
FYI - Stock only shows H+ even if your not actually on it.
Its an illusion AT&T does to make the user think they have great connection everywhere.
Also try flashing a different modem, that might be the issue with your speeds, cause I changed to the leak's modem upon many request.
Thanks LiLChris06!
I tried the KH7 modem which did nothing, and I tried the KK6 which seemed to improve it a bit. I went into AT&T today and they said maybe it's just a defective phone and were willing to switch it out, which I might do.
However I love this ROM so much, is it available without the custom modem you added or with a different modem in the install rather then the UCLK2 I think you included?
Thanks

Hmmmm...what you mean by is it available without the custom modem? Maybe Im reading it wrong. As you know, because you said you have tried different modems, there are many different modems you can try. Shouldn't matter what modem the ROM comes with. Think there is a modem thread around here that has some good info. I think Task also just uploaded the the new LC5 Modem
I should have worded my reply a little better, and it might come across as a newbie question but basically I was wondering if that rom came with the stock modem the i777 comes with because when I had the phone the first day stock, the data speeds were pretty reasonable (3-4 mbps/downloading).
Wasn't sure if flashing different modems other then the one that came with the phone originally would help out my issue, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to try. I did find the UCLC5 modem so I'll try that in a few minutes along with the other ones I haven't tried. If no luck, I'm going back to AT&T to exchange, probably defective phone like they said.
Thanks again for everyone's help
Sweet, found a solution!
I tried all 7 different modems under the same conditions, KJ1, KJ4 and KK6 were around the same ball park. KH7 and UCLC5 were a bit slower but close to each other, UCLC2 was by far the worst..and the winner was KJ2, big difference.
Thanks guys!
