Only way to cure slow uploads and download is
1. Must be on a tw rom
2. Go to service mode by using *#2263#
3. Go to wcdma per. and click on wcdma 850
4. Signal bar will be replaced with a circle with a line thru it.
5. While about 5-10 seconds. Your signal bars will return but you will have no 4g.
6. Hit settings button, go back and click on wcdma all and 4g will come back.
7. Do a speed test and profit.
8. Every time you reboot you must do this every time. Only takes about 30 seconds.
There is now another method to get fast speeds on aokp thanks to Curgervending.

Honestly I believe that your method in conjunction to flashing an aokp rom right after(if that's what you want) and you may get the speeds you're looking for. This is a theory at the moment but I have been able to get 16mbps on aokp before and ironically it was after flashing a tw rom.

Touchwiz is the skin placed on top of the android OS. HTC phones have sense, Motorola has Blur and Samsung has touchwiz. The name of the default Samsung launcher is touchwiz but obviously there's choice. With that said we're going away from the topic of the post.

Wow!!!! I am on ics-Padawan2 with the blaze modem. I can't believe the difference. My UP speeds more than doubled.
Poor up speeds were the only thing that sent me to Straight talk- tried it for a month and their up speeds on the att card (yes-flashed the correct att modem) was only .6-.7 mbps. Barely better than my best tmo up speeds. Download speeds on ST were 1.5 to 3 mbps- really poor compared to tmo. I was getting 7-10 mbps down on tmo Just came back to tmo and found this little gem!!!!
After this little simple adjustment my up speeds went from .2-.5 mbps (without this adjustment on t-mo) to .5-1 mbps with the adjustment! better or equal to ST with the att sim. Very cool!:highfive: My DL speeds after adjustment bumped up too consistently >12mbps. Really happy I came back to tmo now!!!!!
THANK YOU Rob!

Don't laugh, but I have no idea. I'm on the Black Star Rom. That's about all I really know. It's ICS if that tells you anything lol.

So has anyone found a way to enable 4G on the vibrants?
Thanks
not gonna happen. our radio physically can't (wasn't built to) handle that speed.
I have two friends one with a galaxy 4g the other with a infuse 4g and my vibrant is faster than both of them. They both get around 2.5 down and 1 up. I rountinly get 3.5-6 down and 1.5-3 up on my vib......im good with vib...then again their phones are stock so maybe their not being utilized to full potential
Thanks for the quick reply guys.

3.5g has been lumped into normal 3g. 3.5g is the speeds at about 3mbps and up. And you automatically get that when in the range of a tower that supports that speed.

No one has made a mod because the 4g modem is a surface mount device, and more than likely isn't anywhere near the same shape nor will it likely be the same pinout as the vibrant 3g modem.

eh, mine is doing just fine how it is.
I just recently got stationed in Ft. Gordon, GA and my signal is worthless. Most everyone here is using AT&T and tethering off of 4G while I'm lucky to have 1 bar of 3G. Seriously I can't even stream a 5 minute YouTube video on my phone.
Supposedly there's some girl in my barracks that has a Sprint iPhone who gets good service.
I'm starting to wonder if it isn't my ROM. I'm using the ICS meanROM.

But the leak was built for a carbon copy of our phones. It won't be much different when released officially. If they release radios with the update, you'll still be connecting to the same network.
Just don't get your hopes up for a big difference.

That has zero effect on signal strength. It might effect data throughput but not signal strength.
I doubt official firmware will boost performance over stock sprint firmware we have now.

Not saying it does but before this I could not get more than one bar at my house where I normally get 3-4 could be something else on Sprint's end but it seemed better after this change.

Is it the phone defect??? hope any pro can help me.

If you normally get speeds faster than that its most likely a phone defect.

Hello people new here and im digging around with no exact answer so I decided to open a thread. I just rooted note today and I flashes CM9.1 by cyanogen (QuincyATT) version and I may be having data issues or not lol.
When I try and choose lTE/GSM under settings it doesn't let me; just defaults back to GSM automatically. Also I feel like data goes in and out or maybe its just me. Any suggestions? I'm in an LTE area...

Yes. Will LTE work automatically? I'm assuming theres no icon for it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
It will automatically connect if available. The icon is 4g. If you see H then you're not on lte because it isn't available or possibly because of that setting.
This is mine by default. Honestly not sure if it makes a difference.

Damnit lol. I'm in an LTE area but mine just stays on h+. OK I'll try and figure out whats going on. By chance do you remember on the original rom what the LTE icon looked like?

On the stock ROM, the icon was always 4G unless you were in an lte area....Then it was 4Glte.

I still have the same issue as well with a new sim. Haven't resolved the issue yet just wont stick lol. I dont know what to do I love this CM9.1 so much I refuse to switch. Ive just been using h+ its about 7mb down but nothing compared to when I hit 27mb down on LTE.

Not sure if this will do anything, but have you tried clearing cache and dalvik in recovery and then seeing if setting will stick? If that doesnt work, try wiping again, but then dirty flash the ROM and gapps. Another option(and I'm not sure what this will do) is trying to clear data in settings apk and starting over with all your settings. That will wipe everything back to stock settings as if you just flashed. Good luck guys.

Man I really don't want to switch to GB base lol, I'd rather be on touch wiz. After doing some research I'm starting to believe it may be the modem. My phone arrived with ice cream so I'm betting that has a lot to do with my issues. I'm going to change my modem for the first time to see if I can switch to LTE
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Possibly a dumb question. But after you deleted your APN, and entered a new one, did you press menu and save?
Proper LTE APN for your carrier, with LTE sim card and LTE plan, you should get LTE running.
for CM9/AOSP/AOKP/CM10 type roms, LTE will show up as 4G.
Another way to test is to install a UCLF6 ROM. Get that up and running. Then go to the APN settings, and the LTE APN's should be loaded.
To confirm LTE is connected, make sure you are in an LTE area, and you can check in Status, or open up the phone dialer, and do *#2263*.
Then select LTE, and All types in LTE. If you are running in LTE there, you should be able to get it up and running with any CM ROM.
I switched to the touchwiz black star rom and I'm on LTE right now. Same modem I had on cm9.1. Its puzzling why it wouldn't turn on. Oh well ill stick with touch wiz thanks anyways guys!
