When I flash a ICS rom I only get 1x data speed. The Stock rom odexed from 2.17 works fine. Shows 3g speeds. Do I need a different kernel or updated radio?

The stock ROM lies with respect to 3g vs 1x. It always shows 3g even if you are really 1x. Some of the ICS roms (MeanROM in particular) has fixed that so it will show correctly. So, it appears you went from 3g to 1x, but you were really 1x the whole time.
I am not 100% sure if this applies as it could be some other issue, but that is usually the issue between stock vs. custom Roms with respect to 3g vs 1x.
go to ur epst open evdo and set preferred mode to automatic

Hey all. I am running Seraphim with ICS KID T-Mobile modem. The 4G is very inconsistent and I know there are people trying to working on modems to make it better but in the mean time I found that when my phone drops to the "E" signal I get a stronger signal and its a very workable speed. Now I was like some other who made the decision to just go back to the stock AT&T modem until a better T-Mobile 4G modem can be found but I found that the ICS KID modem on the non-4G data signal is faster (for me anyway) than the non-4G data signal on the stock AT&T modem. I asked the question of how can I get the ICS KID modem to just stay on the non-4G signal but the only answer I got was "Go back to stock AT&T modem" but I figured out on my own and just wanted to share with other T-Mobile users that rather than flashing modems over and over again while waiting for a better 4G modem if you go to the
*#2263# menu selct [3] GSM Band Preference and then select [5] GSM 850/1900 you can keep your phone on the non-4G signal. Like I said in my area I just found it to be faster than the stock modem.
good stuff.
im like you dude. flashing every ics rom with every ics modem over and over changing every setting just to get a useable data connection outside wifi
finally found good data outside using. its not ics but its high speed data and i can customize everything using other apps/mods/etc....
ROM : SAUROM_XLA2_RC4A
kernel : holoNoteKernel-0.1-2-k (DON'T flash the kernel fix it will fawk your sheet up cuz its for RC5 and up)
modem : Blaze_4G_LB7_radio_ATTNOTE
extra---
TWlauncher default launcher
setcpu: 192min 1836max lagfree
V6 supercharged. megaram1 768+ HP
KAK kickasskernel (k)
not turbocharged (not scared to use now that i have 4g useable)
rom toolbox: SD boost 2048kb
used part of build.prop tweaks from the (Tweaks) build.prop Post in Dev section. only the ones for sleep, and screen touch improve, jpg and no boot animation. nothing that effected oom
nevermind i found it.
Question - does anyone have any idea what is different with the Saurom rom that allows me to get LTE speed (18-20 down, 4.2 up) with the status notification switching to LTE for data, while no other ROM does? (Baltmore area). I tried a couple of the new UCLD3 roms today, achieved somewhat decent 4G speeds, but no LTE. I kept the UCLD3 modem and went back to the Saurom rom, and boom - back up to LTE speeds again with proper switching when making calls.
I'd really like to know what Saurom rom has (in the build.prop maybe?) that the others don't. Would love to switch to an ICS for daily, but download speed is the priority.
Thanks.

Mabey an overclocked kernel.....
"Since God created man, and man created the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note are like a gift from God, Randal!*"
I'm getting lte speeds with the latest ics leak.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
So, I S-offed my phone a while ago. I finally convinced my wife she should let me S-off her phone a day ago.
After S-off, I flashed the newest ICS leak (2x to make sure the RUU ran properly) and then flashed the stock deodexed rom that Scott posted.
That way she can have root, and I can remove some of the bloat apps she doesn't want via titanium and call it a day.
However, her phone is having some serious issues with 3g constantly toggling on and off while on wifi. (We don't have 4g in our area). I thought it was an issue with the kernel not flashing properly, so I wiped, and flashed it seperately. Still no change.
I reran the RUU 2x, and reflashed the stock leaked deodexed rom from Scott.
Still not changing the results. Her phone is running at least 10 degrees hotter from the constant radio toggling. Phone is reporting the same kernel and radios that I am.
Further investigation reveals that my phone is running on EVDO Rev.a, and her's is running on eHRPD. Running speedtests on the phones shows her getting 2-3x the data speeds of my phone while sitting in the exact same spot in the house.
So... any idea what's going on here? Technically eHRPD is better for data speeds as I understand it. However, if her phone is running at 104F and it's killing her battery it's not better.
For reference, my phone is also S-off, with the newest radios and kernels. I am running Rez Rom 2.1 which is a Sense 4.0 rom vs her stock deodex. As far as I can tell, mine being Sense 4.0 shouldn't be influencing the data connection like that.
Any thoughts would be really appreciated.
This is interesting,
where are you seeing which network you are connected to?
System settings> About Phone> Network.
It's listed there under Mobile network type.
Update:
I flashed her phone to the same Rez Rom s4 2.1 my phone is on, and it seems to have stopped the toggling issue.
She's still on eHRDP vs. my EVDO rev. a and the speed difference is huge.
Any ideas how to switch over to eHRDP?
If you have the 3G icon on both phones, then both phones are connected via EVDO Rev. A.
eHRPD is essentially an authentication protocol that allows switching to LTE when it is available.
Even when toggling LTE off in the network settings, the phone still connects via eHRPD. On the Droid Charge with a ROM with TSM parts, one can manually change the network selection. If you want voice, you need either 1X only mode or eHRPD 1X mode. If you only care about data, then there is an EVDO only mode. There is also the ability to force EVDO Rev 0 and still have 1X, but Rev 0 is even slower than Rev. A.
I don't think there is an easy way to change these settings on the Rezound (I'd like to know if there is.)
Generally, eHRPD is known for having data drops because of some network authentication issue. I have tried EVDO Rev A only mode and had less issues, but I have not tested this in a 4G area. Verizon may have fixed the eHRPD issues or they may not have.
Concerning your problem, I don't really have a guess what the problem could be. I can confirm that I have the CDMA selection in the network settings and that Network Speed confirms my network as eHRPD.
Procede with caution, since I am a Rezound noob: I would suggest running the RUU again along with the radios to see if it was a wonky radio flash. I can tell you that for some darn reason, I seemingly had to flash the radios on the Droid Charge several times in order fix some radio problems I had...

Beat me to your post. Are you in a 4G area? What speeds are you getting? I've never seen a phone get stuck on EVDO Rev A only mode with 1X still working. Try toggling 4G on and off and rebooting.
We don't live in a 4g area.
Update again:
My phone has switched over to eHRPD and things seemed to have calmed down. I did reboot it previously, and togggle airplane mode a few times and it didnt care about changing over from evdo.
I guess the weird toggling issue on her phone brought to light another issue that might be unrelated?
Thanks for the insight xdadevnube
2 EVO LTEs, both running latest firmware package with updated radios. One running stock rooted, the other Mean Bean. Last night at a basketball game, my phone (Mean Bean) never could keep a connection, it would drop data, and go to 1x, then drop 1x over and over and I couldn't update my status let alone upload photos My wife's (stock rooted) had no issues. Held 3G all night and she could upload Facebook photos of the game.
Seriously what makes this happen? Can a ROM have any effect on the 3G connection? I already checked the build.prop for Mean Bean to make sure it wasn't including any of that 3G Turbocharger RIL changes which I know can cause connection problems in certain situations...
Actually, not the latest firmware, I didn't know there was a 3.16. They are both running 3.15 with the 3.15 radio/PRI/etc...
Have you tried updating your profile & Prl?? Also have you tried a data reset ??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always=LTE
I'm having this exact same issue, it seems to persist on any Sense or AOSP rom. Whats the deal? Do I need to update my radios or something? I'm on PRL 25009 and baseband 1.12.11.1119 currently running CM 10.1, but I've had the same problems no matter what ROM I'm on.

Yes i had the same problem with data connection and battery drain due to the crappy radio (1.12.11.1119).so I flashed a different radio and that fixed my problems.update your full firmware to the 3.16 base that includes the latest radio img.,but doesn't include the tp.img to the latest and then update your profile and prl.
You can get the full firmware here =

It seems all lte devices have this issue. For some reason lte devices constantly drop down to 1xrtt. My note 2 and Evo lte constantly do it while my gs2 and evo 3d hold a steady evdo connection. I also heard some ppl with the LGOG have the same issue. I toggle airplane mode on and off to get ehrp back on. It's a bit annoying but I'm betting it has to do with the device scanning for lte and making it drop to 2g.

I am not sure when/where/why, but since I switched to the roms based off the 3.17 OTA update, I have had no 1x Data on my EVO LTE. 3G/4G work fine, the HD Voice is great, but when I am outside of 3G range, I have no data connection whatsoever and the phone gives me data call failures almost nonstop.
I have tried flashing the latest radios, bootloader, etc but so far nothing has gotten my 1x data back. (though it is a bit tough to test. Is there a way to force 1X only on Sprint?)
Right now I am on the Sense 5 Y8 rom and while it is fantastic, I still want to get 1X back so I was wondering if formatting everything in Recovery, then running the latest RUU from HTC's site to hopefully restore/update everything in the phone would work.
That is the closest to force restoring the phone to default correct? Has anyone else had an issue similar to this?
