[Q] Data running really slow (AT&T) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I just recently moved from Arkansas to California and figured they would have a little bit faster 4G and what not.. Well here in my house there is 4G but it only has one bar.. While trying to send random text or especially a MMS picture, it will send extremely slow, for a smaller picture MMS it has taken up to 45 minutes of sitting still with 2 bars of 4G HSPA and not sent.
I'm not sure if it is something I had done to my phone or what.. I did put a separate ROM on there, but I do have it rooted+CWM on there, so I backed it up. Now I put it back onto the back up and it just is insanely bad for the problems on service and what not. I restored it and the slow service and texting is still an issue.
Also the phone calls are pretty bad as well no matter where I am.
Could it be the messaging app?
Could it be the horrible service in this house and around it here and there?
Even if I have full bars its still kinda sheity.
Also, they 4G or and of the different service pictures next to your bars don't show up and when they do, the do not flash like they're sending or receiving.

You would think Cal would have the better service ..? Have you tried resetting your apn in the apn settings?
Have you tried stock to see how the connection is, have to look around don't remember seeing modems. I know in the Infuse forums we had listing for all modems so you can flash to see what was best in your area, diff area's have diff connections as you can see...

Try different rom or modem. Or like bigjoe suggested, flash back to stock. Check your apn setting. Depend on where in Cali, the speed will be varied. I have around 10 mbs constantly on my note. Some good day, can get up to 22 mbs depending on traffic.

---

I agree with BigJoe. Grab a few modems and also the speednet app. try the modems and test the connection speeds.

---

Doesn't the volume of users on the network cut into the speed? I think our network in CA is pretty packed, more than Arkansas.

Yeah it seems that way. I went to visit my city where i am originally from the midwest, a suburb near Chicago and I had excellent signal everywhere I went.

As for where I live in Cali now is the Bakersfield area. I reset the APNs and it shot on EDGE for a few seconds acting like it was sending, then popped onto HSPA for a of second and stopped showing the animation of it sending (the lines going in and out of the 4G sign)
Also, does anyone know of any place where it has a list of MODEMS for AT&T, does it have to be specifically for the Note or can it be from another AT&T phone?
I'm not the most advanced at all of this, but I am a pretty dang good google master at fixing and finding things.

The latest ICS modem is the ULCF5 from the leak. In the development section Electton73 made a flashable version:

You need CWM and boot into recovery to flash.

Copy those exactly.
Removing and putting back the SIM might help.
