Ok so i just flashed auxora and now ontop I have an h symbol instead of 3g. I did some research and from what I've read the h should be faster then 3g correct but quite the contrary my data speeds have dropped drasticly anyone know how I might fix this?
Some roms show an H and some a 3g. There isn't any difference. The only thing that can change your data speed is using a different modem build.
So then what should I do to regain my old data speeds?
My download speeds on the Speedtest app vary greatly depending on time of day, how strong my signal is and network traffic. If you're hitting anywhere above 3 or 4 mbps that's about as good as can be expected. The speeds that T-Mo promise are theoretical. Auxura has the latest modem build (I think it's JL5) but if you want to try some other ones look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868774

It's not an issue.. The 3G icon was just changed to H.
Im getting a .11 mbps now as compared to the 2mbps I was getting before so im open to any sugestions.

You can try a different modem, but that low seems like you were throttled to me.
Log into your account at tmobile.com and check to see if you went over 5gig of data.

That sounds pretty likley I was doing some heavy downloading over tether. If that is my issue when might my speed be restored if at all?
This might be a stupid question, but you're not using your phone as a mobile ap or tethering with your computer right now are you?
Sounds like what you need it the handy throttle free fix from Master's web site

Here's the think tank thread on throttling - Link
Second post shows how to change your APN to get service back until next billing cycle resets it. Then you switch back to your regular APN.

Oh sorry that helps but in a bad way. I don't know how to get out from under Simple mobile throttling, only t-mo.
Maybe search for Simple mobile APNs like we did for t-mobile and try them to see what works. We found t-mo's on Wiki.

Yeah I just noticed that thread said it only worked for t-mobile and bell. The odd thing is ive only got a 3.2gb data usage racked up on my account so that shouldnt be enough to get capped should it?

Exactly.
My 5g usage statement was based on the level which t-mo throttles us.
I suggest calling your carrier and checking what they throttle at.

Im not exactly sure when it started but i just noticed it a few days ago. Im currently on hsdpa and my dl speed is 112kb!! That's BARELY faster than edge im not sure if its my rom but I just reflashed and updated this morning and nothing. It doesn't matter if its edge, 3g or hsdpa, the speeds never increase! The phone runs normal when connected to wifi tho. 7.5mbps ...not sure if it makes a difference but im on simple mobile
Im running axura 2.2.7.1
Baseband is t959uvka6
Kernal version is 2.6.32.9
Any help is greatly appreciated guys!

Take a drive and see if signal improves. If it does then u know its your area. If not then you may have a bigger issue at hand.

Dude definitely you are in a bad reception area cos I use simple mobile too and get a constant 3.5- 4 mbps..
Just in case make sure you are not data throttled.

Data throttled? I've been in at least 6 or 7 different areas arouns central fl n everywhere I go its the same story. Maybe a hardware issue somehow? Phones never been dropped or anything though.

Data throttled, meaning you have gone over your 5gb cap and tmo throttles your service. I don't think that is the issue though, as throttle speeds are way slower than Edge. I doubt it's a hardware issue too. I would flash a different ROM. Failing that, Odin to stock. If that still doesn't fix you, call tech support and if they can't help you, they'll replace your device for you.
a - data cap reached, call t-mobile and inquire
b - put your phone in flight mode, reboot, turn flight mode off... better?
I can vouch for axura 2.2.7.1 and I had INCREDIBLE d/load speeds with the newer modem.
I have an HTC HD2 running Cyanogen 7.0.3 2.3.4
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 running stock 2.3.4 XXKG2 XEU
Both are on T-Mobile UK network, both on free internet tarifs.
Both have the same APN settings.
Both show 'H' as the connection and both have Wifi disabled.
Using speed test I've been testing both.
The HTC HD2 consistantly gets 1.7-1.9 Mbps download and around 0.5Mbps upload.
The Galaxy S2 never gets more than 0.95 Mbps download and 0.35 upload.
Surely there is something not quite right here.
Any advice/input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Type *#*#9900#*#* and disable fast dormancy. Seems to help for some.
Thanks, unfortunately this hasn't helped.
Further testing shows the following:
The faster speed follows the sim card.
So when the other sim is in the GS2, i get 2mbps + down,
In the HD2, the sim from the GS2 gets only 0.94mbps down.
It seems to me like TMobile are artificially capping download speeds on one my accounts.
Very weird, if not illegal.
At least it's nothing to do with the phone.

It's really fast for me. 3,3Mbps.
with T-Mobile(Dutch) i get 1Mbps
with Hi (kpn/Dutch) i get 3,3
But my t-mobile speed is just 1Mbps soon i will faster internet, then i will test again.
in screenshot, the first two tests are Hi and third is T-Mobile. all tested at the same place.
I too have this problem.
Any updates?

Hi guys I recently have my phone getting very slow speeds, It's a Galaxy S 4G and the top speed is 0.12 Mbps, it doesn't matter which server I use to test is always the same thing I am on simple mobile and my data plan is still functioning well, like yesterday speeds were normal, like 5.00mbps or 8mbps but after that. It just slowed down and it doesn't get back up!, What would it be?.My phone is brand new and has been working like a champ for weeks. when I use wifi is really fast but with the cellular data I have this issue.
Thanks

Maybe they throttled you because you went over your limit like the person above said.
You could always call your carrier and ask them.

I called and I am not throttled, actually it has to do with the phone or the towers. I need to fix the radio on the phone maybe.
maybe internet have problem!
modem driver?
Just outta curiosity, does anyone use the at&t media net with there i9100? Is it similar to the regular data packages? I searched but really didn't find any answers, plus im using Tapatalk which the search option isn't the greatest.
No one??????
Yes, I'm on MediaNet on my i9100, and it works just fine. I usually get around 3-4 mbps down on H+.

I'm using it, although it's no longer called MediaNet. It's now their unlimited data for non-smartphones. Data and tethering/hotspot works fine. In terms of speed tests, 9.6mbps was the best that I ever got. Supposedly, 10mbps is the actual cap you can get under this plan, and a real world max of 10-12mbps can be achieved using their higher priced plans. Not worth it, IMO. I'd rather pay $10.

Yea, my $5 dumbphone loads pages slow. A $5 phone will do that as the phone itself only has a GPRS (1G) radio, and the processor couldn't power a toaster. Today's smartphones are pocket computers.
Don't expect near 10mbps contantly though. HSPA+ is overrated. It's not true 4G. Latency seems to be twice as high as LTE on average, and a constant connection speed is around 3mbps. The faster plan likely won't change this.

i have tried 3 modems, and i can seem to get above 1.5mbps downloading EVER, unless on WiFi
what speeds are you guys seeing on average with international note in the US on AT&T

Exynos not compatible with AT&T Network. Only HSPA+ I have the HTC One X Quad core on Straight Talk (AT&T MVNO) and get gravy HSPA+ speeds here in Charlotte
so what your saying is no matter what i will not get any better speeds than 1.5 and lower. i get 3g/4g/h+ on my SGS3 right now. unless there just false indicators in the notification bar so i dont see the incompatibility.

There is definitely something going on with the SGS3. Right next to my unbranded SGS2/GT-I9100, I'm getting much lower speeds on the exact same network. I'm talking 7.5Mbps vs 3Mbps on AT&T.
Not sure if the modem's just not optimized for the US AT&T networks (yet).
Thank for the test, i really didnt think this was normal. i hoping to find a modem that works well enough to get me the 3-4 mbps......
right now, all yesterday......i could NEVER even get above 300kbps
i love the phone less this aspect of it right now.

to the OP and anyone experiencing slow network speeds, check you apn settings on the phone make sure you have the ATT phone apn selected (apn name phone) instead of the default Cingular apn...Phone is the HSPA+ apn but on unlocked international phones it defaults to the APN provided by your sim which is the Cingular one...case in point on my nexus i have to always manually input the phone APN after flashing a rom...
also even though 2 phones running on the same network maybe in the same physical location, they may not be connected to the same Cell Site Tower, as such each phone maybe communicating with different towers with varying degrees of network congestion, thereby affecting your speeds...it could also just be the area you're in...as another ATT user with an international s3 has posted screens of him gettin 8mb down

I'm don't think you can switch to the phone APN on the $10/$15 medianet plan... has this changed?
I understand cell towers, but you have to realize you're really reaching with that explanation... especially when I am able to get consistent 6-7.5Mbps ALL DAY on the GT-I9100 when I have not been able to hit 3.5Mbps downloads sitting in my office all morning. I'm talking well over 10 tests at various times throughout the day, SOMETHING is up.
CONFIRMED: phone APN does NOT work on the medianet plan, so let's not muddy the water and confuse the issue at hand.

Well if you can't change the APN..you can either complain to ATT or try another S3...for me when I first got my GNex I got crap slow speeds on HSPA+ till changing the APN...but I am not on a medianet plan..

That's the point, I'm talking about the medianet plan, and getting much faster speeds on a phone sitting right next to it. Repeatable results too.
Again, has nothing to do with APN in this case.

NO, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying I'm seeing significantly slower speeds than my UK GT-I9100 when running the same exact speed tests at various times during the day. Could just be a modem issue as these phones were launched for the UK region, who knows.
Okay thanks, looking to purchase a galaxy s3 and justifying the savings from the 5gb data vs medianet plan to my wife. BTW what color is yours?
