[Q] CM7.2 Slow Data Speeds - Motorola Photon 4G

I searched the forums first, so sorry if I couldn't find a solution first.
Rooted, unlocked photon 4g. Currently running build 3.13 of cm7.2 through kang and the photon dev team. Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456298
Since I can't post in that thread, I guess I have to ask here.
I'm experiencing slow data speeds over 3g. Everything else on the phone works fine, like mms and calls, and web over wifi. I'm not in a 4g area. I tried calling sprint for an msl, and neither given worked.
Background: Ran rooted for a while on an old revision, then jumped into an unlock and right into CM7.2.
Baseband: N_0.1.28.07R
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 joker-cm7-alpha
build: 4.5.1a-a_sun-198-6
Any tips for improving the 3g speed? Thanks.

Maybe try the 3g turbocharger script? And that's weird that both msl didn't work. I always thought you only got one specifically to your number.

[Q] Phoenix Area 4G Problems -- 5/17

Anyone else in the Phoenix area experience major 4G issues today? I've been getting "Webpage not available" and "Unable to connect to the server" (Sync) errors all morning. Tried restarting my phone a few times, but no luck. Phone shows that it has a 4G signal, but only the Up arrow is lighting up. Just curious if anyone else is having similar problems.
*EDIT* Have also tried turning off mobile network and then back on, but still no luck.
**EDIT #2** Now switched over to 3G and 3G is working ... cant re-capture 4G signal anymore. Looks like another outage.
I only used 4g once this morning to do a speedtest and it went smooth. Other than that I'm leaving it on 3g since I don't receive 4g well in the building I work at.

When you step out to lunch, please try your 4G connection and let me know if you have any luck. I'd appreciate it.
4g is working fine for me. I can access the internet and just ran a speed test.
I'm back up and running on 4G now as well. No idea what the issue was, just glad it got resolved quickly.
What are your 4G speeds usually like? I've been running Speedtest a few times a week and I tend to hit 18Mbps for my down speed, up is usually crap and around 2.3Mbps.
What rom are running? I'm trying the new gingerbread leak but the 4g is slow as all hell...2.5 down only compared to 10-12 running on a froyo radio

Running Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3 with Adryn's 4.4.7 Kernel. I've been switching off between 4.4.7 and Imoseyon's latest kernels as well, but I tend to get a better Linpack score with 4.4.7.
4G speeds seem to be consistent on both ... havent tried the new Gingerbread leaked Radio yet.
I'm stock right now getting around 8.5 mbps down and 2.5 up

4G connection Problems

Ok so i just flashed Chingy's newest ROM (gingeritis 1.2 with official gingerbread base) and after a couple hours of use i noticed that my 4G started to crap out a little bit and i could only get 3G, im on the latest MR2 and was wondering how to fix the problem, ive messed around with LTE On/Off, even went so far as to relflash the ROM and and then reflash the radio through hboot and to no avail...no 4G...i also reflashed 1.1 and still having no connection, last thing i did was to check if 4g was out in my area (orange county, CA) and there are no posts saying that there is...Any ideas??? help please
I have a similar problem after flashing the stock 1.70 OTA ROM and Radio. I can't seem to get 4G data, it is always on 3G.
I've had issues all day. In the seattle area, I think it's just verizon updating the network. I saw an article saying they were expanding coverage in our area, so I assume that's what it is.

[Q] 4G issue

I have been having a weird issue with my 4G the last few days. I live in Oklahoma City which was a city that got 4G awhile ago it was running fine with no real problems until yesterday. The problem is it shows service and I can load xda app to get to forums but youtube, pda net, dolphin browser won't load. When I switch over to cdma it loads fine(just slower of course). When i switch back to LTE xda app loads and speed test .net show correct 4G numbers. I have tried flashing a new ROM from cm7 1.2, Omfgb, synergy sense 3.0 nightlies plus chingys lastest ROM. Flashed radios 2mr 2.5mr and the lastest radio chingy put on root wiki. I wipe usally 3times between flashes and dalvik a few times. I was just wondering if anyone has had this trouble or maybe its something up with Oklahoma City since it just happened a few days ago. If anyone else has this problem or has fixed it please let me know.

Just to let you know I am having LTE data issues in OKC too.
I read over on rootzwiki someone in Texas was having the same problemn he lives in Texas. So maybe its a Verizon network problem

Same thing in dallas, browser works if you use bing gotta be a google/verizon issue. I don't know why but it will not connect to google using 4g.
Same thing in the DFW area of TX. I cannot connect to G+ on 4G but if I switch over to 3G it works fine. Also have the browsing issue on the stock browser.

Verizon had no clue what I was talking about. What's really aggravating is google voice isn't working either on 4g.
I do not think its a root or radio issue. I have Th3roy on mine with the leaked radio its got no google voice or browser on 4g, 3g is fine, im in Tulsa. One of my buddies had two non rooted tb's they're both doing exactly the same thing.
4glte data to the browser and google voice is back up here in Tulsa at 1907
im having the same problem here in text i read on the CM7 people were having this problem too it says i have 4g but when i try to use my apps or go on the internet pages wont load. i have notice that if i switch to cdma 3g it works just fine so i been on while im out in about. i also notice that when i use wifi tether on 4g it works just fine when i am connected tp my xbox and laptop i get good speeds but on my phone web pages just wont load. i went ahead and called verizon about the problem and they said nothing was wrong with 4g here in the south even tho they are reciving alot of calls about the issue and tried to trouble shoot me which didnt wor and say i wasnt in a 4g area even tho houston was in the frist batch of of cities to get 4gand i tried trouble shoot myself by changeing roms and radios still no lucky.. i believe verizon messed something up because i just started having these problems saturday night and either dont know whats going on or are playing dumb until they figure it out....sorry about the long message

still no luck in houston
I was one of people on mikmik who posted about this rootzwiki also I believe I thought I was going insane. Network problem for sure I have loaded so many roms and radios to no avail. Can't search anything on Google VIA search bar or load Google.com on 4G. Defaulted browser search and homepage to Bing for now. 4G coverage is very bad for me in DFW area of Texas.

i just got off the phone with verizon and they want everyone to call in from a different number at 1800-922-0204 they also said they are aware of the issue with not being able to view google websites and that there is a setting we need to change.... i believe its something with the network because im having trouble with more than just google sites
Hey everyone,
The problem with the 4g in Houston seems to be a DNS issue. I have a thunderbolt and very few of my Google apps or services seem to be able to connect even though 4g indicator is on.
Here's a link to the topic on rootzwiki where people have found a solution:
rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1763-Browser-not-liking-LTE&p=39618#post39618
And here's another xda thread where people are having the same issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16014183&posted=1#post16014183
If you're phone is rooted please try the set DNS app to change to the appropriate DNS and let us all know how it goes. Since my phone isn't rooted, I will wait it out a little longer just to see if Verizon fixes the DNS. However, I think we should all email/call/harass Verizon as much as possible. It's flat out unacceptable to the consumers who paid good money and locked in on a 2 year contract to get 4g. I could have taken my money elsewhere but Verizon has the fastest network, but if Verizon can't get their DNS server working then I'd rather take my money elsewhere.
I just grabbed set DNs and used Google dnsand my 4glte is now running fine. Good idea.

My 4g in DFW just went down. All I get right now is 3g... or 1X if I force lte in the bamf toolkit. Wonder if they are working on it?

Same here. I put it in LTE mode, and used the DNS fix, and half hour later, I don't get any 4G, and no data at all. 3G seems to work.
I decided to restore my default DNS settings back.
EDIT: Never mind its back up now.

[Q] Android Wifi Tether

So, I bite the bullet and flashed the new rooted version of the OTA. Link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223979
But now WiFi Tether does not work on 3G or 4G. Has anyone else have this issue?
I really use it a lot with my wifi only xoom before the new updated Rom.
Update: I used the follow guide and got 3g to work but not 4g. I really need 4g since I work in a strong 4g coverage area.

CM7 data issue

Hi guys, sorry if this isn't the place to post this, I don't have the post count yet to ask in the CM7 thread in the development section.
Anywho, ever since I flashed CM7 on my phone, I haven't been able to get a good HSPA+ connection. It keeps wavering from H+ to 3G. And if I do get a connection to H+, it is dead slow (did speakeasy speed test and got .4 down .1 up).
I also did the ATT data fix, but that seems to not work either.
Any help to my problem?
Mine seems to jump between 3G & H but I never thought to blame it on the ROM. Speeds are solid on both so didn't see it as an issue. Also I flashed CM7 right when I pulled it out of the box so don't know if it did that on stock or not.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
The only reason why I think it may have something to do with CM7 is because before I was unrooted stock rom, and I had consistent H+ signal, with 6-7 down 2 up. Ever since I flashed, it has been very sluggish. Even my old Desire had consistent H+ signal in the areas tested. Not sure what's going on. Maybe it's a setting that I need to tweak or turn on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
