Would you guys who are on t-mobile looking for new modems be interested in maybe lower speeds but more consistency, and lower ping? I'm admist creating a couple of new modems for us and was interested if it was just brute speed you guys were looking for.
As for AT&T anyone interested in other modems? Maybe ones that don't support LTe ( a lot of people don't have LTE where they live, or prefer battery life so don't use LTE), or maybe ones with LTE&HSPA combo.
let me know guys. Its quiet a good feeling seeing you guys get better speeds and such on your phones.
I would be interested in slower but more consistsnt speeds.

How much data have you used?
Go over 5GB with your "unlimited" plan and your bumped down to WAP speeds on AT&T.
Well it just reset on the 21st and I am at about 1GB. Also I just got about 30sec of late after hanging up a phone call. Just to be sure H is LTE on aosp/aokp right?

I dont think H means LTE.
H+ is for HPSA+ which is 4g (really it is 3.5g)
It should say LTE.
No..on aosp it's displayed as
H is hspa+
4g is lte

No no no, it won't work. Sprint uses CDMA radios, the international has GSM radios. You misunderstood.

In much of the US CDMA coverage is superior to GSM coverage. I almost never do not have at least CDMA for voice. When I was with ATT on a GSM phone that was definitely not the case.
Well maybe TMobile is better. I find with Sprint. I only get service in about 60% of the places I go

Yeah I'm using stock ROM rooted with stock modem. I'm pretty sure T-Mobile is using 1900mhz for LTE and ATT uses 1700. Really digging the late though. Download and upload isn't a big concern but the ping has dropped to about half of what it was. Very happy with T-Mobile. I think the lte will spread quickly like their 4G did.

T-Mobile doesn't use 1900Mhz for LTE, only AWS 1700Mhz.
Regardless the i717 doesn't support LTE over 1900Mhz.

Did you change any of your APN settings in order to access LTE or you're running default epc.tmobile.com ?

I like the techie stuff. For instance, in that screenshot I can see that they're using Band 4 (AWS 1700/2100Mhz), LTE bandwidth is 5Mhz which tells me that the maximum possible download/upload speeds are 37mbps down / 12mbps up in that particular market, EARFCN 2175 means that they're using C block of the AWS spectrum which is 10Mhz slice (5Mhz used for downlink, and 5mhz for uplink).
Most consumers don't care about this kinda stuff, but I do
Thanks again!

SnowJB ROM is JB...that's the rom the guy above ran his benchmark with.
Who cares what the benchmarks are. We ALL know this phone is the fastest on the market right now. Dont need tests to prove it or reassure ourselves.

thanks for the reply. thats the same one that im using at the moment but the back of my phone keeps heating up when im using mobile data. im wondering is there a different modem that would work on mobilicity?
Heat is normal for me under data usage. Every phone does that.
For the modems, just keep trying different ones until you find the one that works best for you. There is no 100% guaranteed to work modem for everyone. Good luck

When using a cm based rom yhere is no need to tweak but if using a TW based rom do this trick, go into dial pad and input *#2263# then chose wcdma then pick 850 band, exit out and then go back in again via *#2263# and pick auto, wait a few secs and run a speed test. Mine hits around 2500 to 3000 which kill my hd2 at 1600 to 2000
