Ok so before I had a tmobile vkl1 modem running on saurom rom not overclocked, and I would only sometimes reach the 1mbs mark. And in my area i get or at least i assume i have good reception because I have 4 bars. Also my network settings were set to HSPA only. So i decided to try and fix it. I did some searching here and found that people said telus modem was better and it also came with a build.prop change. I did everything it said to.
I load up my phone after i flashed the new modem, and changed the build prop. I even rebooted 2 times after just to make sure it would use new build.prop When i go to the speed test app i only get .42mbs for dl and .13mbps for upload. Try again and only get .44mbps and .06mbps for upload??
That obviously wasnt right so i went in my browser and googled it to get my results and I got 1.62mbs download which is significantly faster but only .03mbs upload! I repeated the test 3 times and got similar results
Does anybody know why this is happening? Could I have done something wrong?? To me as i was browsing speeds do seem slow but now slow enough to be edge.
i have same issue

Wow so its just not me. maybe a problem with the roms or kernel. What rom/kernel are you guys using?
I am going to try and flash back to vkl1 and see what happens. I'll report back. Quick question do you have to wipe then flash and then restore or just clear cache?
Yea same here im using the holonote kernel with vk1 radio...

Hi. I've just got this phone 2 days ago. I came from an Xperia play. My internet seems really slow compared to my last phone {mobile data not wifi}. Even when it says 'H' its still terribly slow
I'm on orange UK. any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Try a bunch of different modems till you find one that works (search on here/Google, plenty of posts that link to modem downloads). Could also be a network/coverage issue
thanks for the reply i'll give that a go
To get you started, here's a collection of I9100 modems. These may or may not work well for you, but they take 2 seconds to flash in CW & certainly won't do any harm if they don't work.
Obviously your phone will need to be rooted & have CW Recovery installed in order to flash these.
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!

so a few days ago i was getting incredible speeds for my area! (5mb/s) but today i was playing with miui v4 to make sure my apn guide worked on it, which it didn't so i began doing other things i found on google, such as dialing and whatnot. well that just made it even worse. eventually it got to the point where when i was on miui i couldn't even send text messages (even after wiping user data and cache) so i nandroid restored to the aokp rom that i had achieved 5mb/s speeds on. all the apns, apps, etc, are back. the speed however, is not. i am running on a constant 1 mb/s speed... i am back on the modem i was on, as i said apns are the same, etc, i am thinking it is something i did when i dialed the *#*#info#*#* or the 3g/4g speed optimizer app. help please
EDIT: one clicking now... *sigh* hopefully this will help the problem so i can get back to my faster speeds!

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII, the i777. I have rooted it and loaded ShoStock3. I love the ROM except I'm having trouble downloading apps from Google Play. The research I have done suggests that I need a better modem. I have downloaded and flashed six different modems. Each one just as slow as the last. I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah. I know that the location can have something to do with the modem as well. Does anyone have a suggestion on which modem would work the best? Also, if you happen to know that there is a separate problem and that it's not the modem, will you please let me know? Everything else seems to load fine, it's just trying to load apps from the market that I'm really noticing it is really slow. Thank you everyone in advance.

Modems are good in different places. What's good for me might be awful for you. Have you done a speed test?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
You've already flashed 6 different modems, you should know by now which one is the best for you out of those 6.
If you don't like them all, try some more and pick out the best.
Have you tried KH7 or LL6?
Side note: why can't you use Wifi for Google Play?
You are I assume flashing modems for this device right? I only ask because obviously the i9100 modems wouldn't work for us. (And I'm pretty sure calls don't work with them) also, if you are flashing all these modems and they ARE for our device, and NONE are working properly, I would look at a fresh flash of the rom of your choice wiping everything again or going back to stock to eliminate hardware error possibility.
I did verify that they were all for my model and network. None of the six were any better than any other. I also noticed none of them worked on the 4G network. I tried to download an app to do a speed test but after 30ish minutes waiting for it to download on each modem so I could test it, I gave up.
Shoman94 changed to UCLL6 modem on his latest build. Are you using this one now?
Or you can select all the modems from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336958
They seem to be working OK, at least for me. I have tried at least half of them although I am still running ICS (CM9.1), not JB like you.

In the Settings of ur phone, since u r runnin SHOstock 3, do u have the Mobile data box checked under Data usage ? And do u have the "Set mobile data limit" box checked under Data usage (this could hinder u) ?? And under More settings/Mobile networks is the Network mode set to something Other than the "GSM/WCDMA (Auto mode)" (this could also be the problem)??

So, I un-rooted my phone but from what I understand, even doing that won't re-set my modem. It's still working slowly. My biggest fault here was not doing speed tests from the beginning and not noting down what my phone came with. If I could find what modem my phone came with, I would root and load it back on.
I really appreciate everyone's help and suggestions.
Is there anyone in Utah on the 4G version of the SII that could tell me what their modem is?

Check your APN settings, that can cause plenty of issus for data.

Has anyone successfully been able to dual boot ROMs on the AT&T Galaxy Note? I'm very familiar with rooting,flashing, etc but I have been unable to find a compatible method of dual boot for the AT&T Galaxy Note. Ive searched around XDA and googled it but I havet been able to figure it out. I have found 2 ROMS that I absolutely love but cannot decide between the two. Any help would be appreciated.

Thats such a bummer. I was hoping it was possible. Ive managed to get T-Mobiles 4G to work on my Note but speedtests show its only getting about 124kb download and about 70kb upload which seems even slower than Edge. People have said theyve managed to get around 7mb download. But I havent been able to break 200kb with any radio, build.prop tweak, or forcing HSPA+

Make sure your carrier turns on 4g LTE. I swapped phones from my 4g Samsung captivate to the 4g LTE note and my speed was super slow. I went into ATT and they said they had to turn on 4G LTE that it used different towers. Right after they did that my Note was much faster on the web

Is there any android devices out there that could have dual boot?
I imagine you would need twice as much system memory available. And a recovery system that could handle two different roms.
I believe there's a dual-boot system for the Note-2. However, one of the ROM's must be the factory ROM.

Galaxy Tab 2 can dual boot. It uses a custom kernel. Here is a link to the kernel.

I was an Atrix 2 user, (I still am cause I broke my note on day 3 and havent fixed it yet)
On Atrix 2 and Razr you can use Boot Menu Manager from the play store. I've had 3 roms installed simultaneously, and it worked great. It boasts of more but in general I never really used more than 2 at a time. The great part was, that you could keep a solid runner on system1 and run your test roms on systems 3-6.
Hope this helps.
dual booting is possible.. just make a backup to your external SD of all the roms your heart desires. when wanting to boot into them, just wipe and restore
