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?

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.
how can i tell if my sim card is starting to fail? i do have frequent data drops and alot of switching between 3g/4g/1x. i cannot tell if its the phone, sim, rom or radio doing this?
if it is bad will verizon give me a new card without hassles? i just do not want to unroot to take it in.

I was using the 2.11 radios and was having a lot of issues with data freezing and quirky connectivity. I went back to the 1.70 OTA radios and it seems to have gone away. I think it's something to do with the CDAM radio packed with those newer radios.

I don't make habit of using partial numbers of a specific radio version to denote a particular CDMA/LTE radio package. A good reason not to is because the RUU 2.10 and 2.11 radios use the same CDMA radio. By 1.70, I mean the radios that came with the 1.70 RUU.
I'm glad the goofy "MR" scheme is dying though.
i think im going to mix & match the cdma radio from 627 and the lte radio from 802.

Hello,
I have the SK17i and I'm a bit down by the bad network connection. I use GSM only mode, since UMTS coverage isnt that good as GSM coverage and with both enabled, its switching all the time.
Do you have similar problems?
A call breaks up, but I still got good connection displayed... 5 sec later, i got the yellow warning and no signal ... 10 sec later everything is back normal and I can make calls...
This is really freaking me out...
Do have this problem, too?
Is there any Solution?
Thanks,
Linkin
what software are you running? maybe that's the issue.
i used to have e-plus, cell coverage was ok, but internet was horrible.
now vodafone, good reception, good internet.
i'm running minCMsandwich, before that hybrom with x-kernel, never had problems with phone reception.
I'm running the stock ROM (*.58) at the moment!
I have o2 germany network!

Fully stock phones shouldn't have problems with baseband at all.
I will leave my mini pro since I can't really use it this way... I'm gonna give it a last try with the new ICS ROM but I'm not really optimistic...
Sent from my LT22i using xda premium
It looks like the ICS update fixed this problem!!! THANKS Sony... I love the XMP!
Unfortunately i have also a little problem with that.
I had poor bad network connection on GB... but both on official ICS and CM9 FXP123 its not much better...
baseband .72 is great. drain a lot battery, anyway
just had the same problem with ICS once... I will report back, how it progresses...
I believe my I777 could possibly have a bad radio because for instance when I'm texting sometimes I'll have to send a text 3 or 4 times and a picture will almost never go though but I have full bars. Is there a way to test if your radio has gone bad?

what is ur baseband version????
check ur baseband version.....if u were on ICS and back to gingerbread then ur baseband will still be UCLE5 and not UCKH7 which has good reception
I have kk6 version. I will put on UCLE5 and see if it changes. I'm using the CM apn's that come with cm9

I was using KK6 but I was testing multiple modems found that to be a good one for speed and battery consumption. I also tested KH7 and it had a good battery drain on the phone thats why I went back to KK6 BTW UCLE5 in my area no mobile data connection.
It wasnt KH7 I was testing with it was kj4 that consumed alot of battery I'll try KH7
UPDATE: Flashed KH7 just permanent no signal...
Um now any modem I flash there is no signal I think my radio just blew out It's not getting anything now. Got it back.

K well flash a different modem. It might also be your APN's Also are you sure you are flashing the Sammy modems on sammy rom/ AOSP modems on a AOSP rom?
Should I try going back to stock and testing if signal is still bad? Or does a rom make a difference. AOSP on AOSP and how do I check to see if APN's are good? Like do you have a reference of a working one? KK6 I have signal and data.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Note, but definitely not new to Android or XDA.
I've got the phone "unlocked" via the radio trick here: http://str8pt.blogspot.com/2013/06/unlock-simfree-method-for-galaxy-note.html
I've rooted it, and have tried a few different ROMs with different radios.
The Blaze radio (and others) I mention are from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679722
I am in Melbourne, FL in case location makes any difference.
Here's what I am seeing:
CyanogenMOD 10.1.3 - using Blaze ICS radio I am getting only EDGE speeds. Using "Official TMO ICS Radio" (I'm guessing it's the one from the TMO Note?) , I get NO connectivity.
Stock 4.1.2 - using Blaze ICS radio I am getting 4G, however the signal meter is totally empty as if there's just enough signal to register connectivity but not enough to register a single bar. Download speeds are abysmal in comparison to other TMO phones I've used here - I am seeing downloads at around 1.5MB - other phones are 6, 7, even 8 MB.
My question are as follows:
Using CyanogenMod, should I be using the i717 version? Or the TMO Note version? Is there anything I can do with ANY particular radio to get better than EDGE?
Using the Stock ROM (or a variant), is there are a way to get the signal cluster to function properly? Any way to get better download speeds?
I read that the TMO 4.0.4 stock ROM image can be installed via ODIN and apparently it works correctly (if I am reading correctly) - would the TMO 4.1.2 stock ROM image be installed via ODIN and work as well? (If I can even find a full download of it?)
Should I expect to have to re-flash the radio each time with each ROM? From what I've seen, if I don't, I lose any ability to get 4G until I flash it again. I'd be stuck on EDGE.
Thanks so much guys! I've searched and read till my eyes are crossing and not finding the answers I need. I hope that with the experience that can be found in this forum maybe I can get where I need to be!
Thanks again!

I recently obtained an I717 too, unlocked it, and got it functioning with my tmobile prepaid plan. I'm still on gingerbread rom and using KID radio with decent success. just 4G , using WCDMA band 1700 (*#2263#). I get consistent decent speeds but not LTE.
The hands down best modem to use is UCMB4 - Google it. But it can cause problems with some jelly bean ROMs.
If you want jb more than anything, play with modems. If you want speed AND stability, go jellybean sandwich or black star X with the aforementioned modem.
If you want WiFi calling download skeleton key.
Ucmb4 with any of those three and the proper APN will get you LTE as fast as it's offered in your area

Hi Anthony820,
I'm currently running your Skeleton Key ROM - not bad at all! But definitely want to try to get CyanogenMod or PACman JB running.
I'll give the UCMB4 radio a shot this evening !
When I had service with TMO (via Straight Talk) I had the best luck with UVLG3.

Uvlg3, if I recall, will get you good down speed, but mediocre up. Otherwise, it's a solid choice and may be more cooperative with jb builds.

Looks like you're right - here's just 4 radios that I just tested:
UCMB4 - EDGE only
UVLG3 - 3G/DC(WTF??)/H+ 6.01Mbps up/1.07 Mbps down
UVLE1 - Phone freezes, locks on black screen, had to pull battery
ICSBLAZE - 3G/DC/H+ Network communication issues message when running speedtest.
By the way, what the heck is "DC" on the network indicator where 3G or H/H+ normally is? I've never seen that before!

I believe It stands for dual channel.
By the way, just checked and CM's WiFi tethering is working as well - nice!
Not sure what I did differently this time but this evening the signal indicator is showing real signal strength, equivalent to what I was seeing on another phone on CM.

If you're on a modem that'll work with LTE, yep. Otherwise HSPA or Edge.
Make sure, I forget and my Note no longer has service, that the top option is set under Network Type or whatever it is. Network Mode? I don't know, you'll figure it out. The thing that lets you pick between GSM, WCDMA etc..etc..

Ok, I got it figured out. I am on the FAST APN and set to WCDMA/LTE . I'm on 3G/H+ here in the house now - will see how it goes when I head out tomorrow.
Either way, I think it's time to make a backup - it's running marvelously and doing everything I would expect it to!
NOTE: Newest PAC ROM (4.3) running smoothly with UVLG3 modem on T-Mobile without issue
[EDIT]
Scratch that - it worked great until I did the first reboot - then it wouldn't boot up again, even with a battery pull.

I went ahead and flashed UCMB4 and was showing 4g lte after reboot. my phone info setting says WCDMA preferred (it shows no LTE option at all ) and the *#2263# menu setting says "automatic". on the fast.t-mobile.com apn
I use UCMD3 and get LTE almost everywhere. Hellybean is a pretty good ROM, try it out!
