Radio help, Los Angeles, CA. T-Mobile. - AT&T LG Optimus G

Hey, so I'm on T-Mobile in the LA area and I know that I can get 20Mbps INSIDE MY HOUSE, because when I was running stock ICS freshly rooted and freshly unlocked I got 20Mbps when I did a speed test.
But now with Beanstalk installed I can't seem to get more than 5Mbps data speeds. And that's from the AT&T JB radio.
I don't care about LTE if I can get 20Mbps HSPA+ like I've seen in some screenshots.
Which modems are the best? I can't seem to get anything more then 2Mbps from mako modems, (I've only tried .48 and .98). And the hybrids don't flash except for a few I've been able to find here and there throughout the forums and they only give me 1Mbps
Thanks to anyone that can help.

You had 20mb on this phone or a previous one you were using?

Do you have a copy of the ICS radio? Your problem did begin after you switched radios and ROM, correct?

No I don't. :-\
I noticed it had really slowed after I flashed a hybrid radio to fix the GPS that wasn't working with the previous stock radio/Beanstalk ROM.
Yesterday after you replied to my question I saw that your signature contained a link to hybrid radios and I tried the 27/84 hybrid but GPS wouldn't lock and data was only 3Mbps, so I reflashed the Jelly Bean at&t radio and did a speed test in the exact same spot and got 13Mbps. And GPS locked in 7 seconds.
I think I may just stick with the jelly bean radio after all. 13Mbps is plenty fast. Maybe it depends on when I do the test, IDK.
Thanks for replying. Maybe flashing the hybrid you linked to and then the jelly bean increased my speed. Lol.
Thread can be closed now.

Galaxy note I717 running on aws(wind/T-Mobile) with ics

OK guys does or has anyone gotten some luck running a i717m note on aws band with either wind or T-Mobile? I have tried different roms, radio and mods still no luck
If someone that has gotten it to run good please post what step you took and what from and radio plus any mod required that would be awesome.
I need a stable ics rom. I have a i717m which is from bell mobility
. Thanks in advance

The author is studachris. I copied this from a thread about T-mobile, just a little way down. There are several threads infact, so take a few minutes and find them. I know the xda search function sux but googling "using at&t galaxy note on t-mobile or wind" will get you all the advice and files.
Come back if you have any questions.
"Roms and modems are interchangeable, meaning you can use whichever modem you want, on whichever Rom you want.
The blaze modem is what you want to use for t-mobile
Also the apn settings for t-mobile would probably be beneficial"
I'm not blowing you off. Learn by doing.
Here is an example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28940387
Capt is absolutely right. Been using the orig Blaze modem/radio on several ROMs (used mostly ICS CM ROMs). All have been stable with 3-9 mb d/l and crummy upload speeds as reported in the T-Mobile modem thread.
hey I have tried to look for it.
I've spent over 20 hours the other day/night flashing different roms and modems and searching though forums on here and google.
That is why im posting to ask if anyone has had any luck. it seem the modem I have flash really some only work with aokp rom but and the speed are good but i lost out on the s apps or I have only been able to get things working with the kid test modem it seem the blaze or blaze 4g lb7 doesnt like to work on wind while using uclf6 roms custom stock roms. but i will give that a try and see what in that link. I am just trying to get this thing up and running so I dont have to be carrying around 2 phones with me all day .
ps: I have over 7gb of rom data download that other night too its still sitting on the desktop so pretty much every ics rom and stock restore rom plus radio has been downloaded

Its seems either gave a radio for voice or data but not both. The blaze seems to work for voice but. Not so for data but the telus t989d radio works for radio but not voice I really hope the aws modem will be out soon with tmobile getting the note

Are you inputing APN settings? You can't get data without that.
Yes I have done that and the phone auto finds the apn for wind
but even after manual input still same thing. I have even tried the *#*#4636#*#* code and configure on that as well and *#2263# for the other rom still either one if the radio is good for voice or the other for data. I wish they had one that worked on both and good

I've only tested the Blaze modems but I came across a thread somewhere in the i717 Development forum that had build.prop edits that you can apply with a file explorer. I'm gonna give it a shot this weekend.
This is gonna sound dumb, but how do I check which modem I have? I know how to flash roms and all that, but I had to take my Note to a guy to unlock it and flashed a different Modem, but I want to know which one I have lol.

Mine says " T989UVLE1.
Is that supposed to be the right one? I'm running the Collective rom. I haven't updated to the new one though. Would one of these other modems make me go faster or is it just a trial and error type of thing?

Use TWRP Recovery:

Then the ROM should boot up.

NO. T-Mobile download and upload speeds are Incredibe and Insane! This is just what we're able to pull with the port, which isn't bad. It's actually better or equal to Sprint 4G in my area on my NS4G.
I just switched from t-mo due to UL speeds of .1 to .4 mbps using the blaze modem and the foil mod. DL speeds were 5-8, sometimes in the red zone.
Went to Straight talk for the att towers and switched to the latest ucle 6 modem. I am a little disappointed in the speeds. Avg. 3-4 mbps down, and .7 to 1.5 up. The only good thing is call forwarding works and You Mail is functioning- the only thing I missed on t-mo. Will have to think if it's worth it for $15 more a month.

AT&T ICS Radio - GPS Broke
AT&T JB Radio - Network Shows Maritime (not AT&T). "According to dvhexer Maritime is also AT&T." After placing a call it shows disconnected and appears in the notification pulldown / status bar (Call does go through however). Some users experienced fast data speeds and better battery life over the ICS radio.
N4 (mako) 0.48 - No LTE (Currently running on my device with T-Mobile's Network)
N4 (mako) 0.33 - You tell me.

I was having issues in my office with signal on .33. Data was sketchy and I'd miss calls. Swapped to ICS modem a couple days ago and have a much stronger signal than I did before. GPS isn't always an immediate lock, but its not been any longer than 30secs and once it does lock, I have had great accuaracy. I think it is all a matter of your software/hardware setup.

Please Thank the appropriate people as I just assembled the information from various sources.
reserved just in case
Thanks for making an all-in-one radio thread. As far as my personal experiences with the other radios...
.27 - Good data, slow gps lock
.33 - Way better data speeds, still slow gps lock (still took a bit to get a good lock but slightly better than .27). Also, not sure if it was just me but I noticed the data would "stall" out at times. Switching airplane mode on/off seemed to fix it.
As far as differences between the AT&T ICS/JB modems...I noticed only a slight difference in data speeds but the GPS lock speed is marginally better in the JB radio. The Maritime network issue on the JB radio is harmless but annoying to people with OCD...

I would generally agree regarding .33, though I didn't get vastly better speeds than JB modem, only marginally better. I did get data 'stalls' on .33 that I have not experienced on JB modem.
Great thread. Was wondering if anyone is using the OG for T-Mobile lte. Which radio is working out for ya?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
My favorite for call reliability (incoming) is the AT&T JB Radio, despite the odd bug when making a call.
So what radio came with Rootbox? Because I'm on that and it doesn't say maritime or anything. Also gps doesn't lock unless I run gps fix and signal strength is worse compared to stock ICS

Typically radios are not installed with custom/aftermarket ROMs only through OTA updates etc. Go to settings>about and report back with your baseband version.

Yup. I was on the Canadian RootBox since February (or maybe March?) after flashing the Canadian TZ. Then I LGNPST'd using TeenyBin. I have never seen "maritime" a single time.
Flashing with the newest cwm on houstonn's PA and the latest houcha kernel I've found extremely good and stable results out of mako .33 radio. No call bug, GPS locks very quickly with great accuracy and so far no excessive heat or missed calls or signal issues on hspa/Hspa + network. Will be going in to lte country and will do some additional testing tomorrow. Battery drain has been on par with the default jb radio from att.
No radio from ICS,JB or att modems will activate LTE on this phone if your on T-Mobile. I have T-Mobile and LTE in my area and I have possibly tried everything I can from turning on LTE on the hidden service menu ( must be on stock ROM to do this) and build prop. No AWS support for this phone.

I live in solid LTE country, but am getting throttled for abusing my unlimited plan, so my test numbers will be useless till the 15th. But when I'm back to speed I'd be happy to thoroughly test these radios. Any tips for how to standardize these tests to make it as scientific as possible? Maybe agree to a certain rom, a specific build date, a specific kernal and speed test app. Then test gps lock time/accuracy, lte ping/speed, and hspa+ ping/speed. I have access to an AT&T microcell if anyone would be interested in those results as well.

Does anyone know of any reason why the combination of flashing one radio then the other might fix a problem, that flashing just the one radio won't? And if so, would it be possible to create a hybrid radio which combines the best properties of the two radios so as to remove a step from the flashing process?

No. Basically he flashes the OG Pro radio which removed his previous radio. Then he flashed the mako radio which removed the OG Pro radio. Someone correct me if I am wrong.... These radios are closed source and extremely protected. Hacking them can lead to bricked phones etc. I have yet to see a modified radio for any phone. There is a reason radios typically are not included is custom ROMs.
Hope that answers some of your questions.
Please note: flashing the OG Pro radio is not recommended nor does it fix any issues with our device.

OrDroid 8.2.1. It is 4.2 bsaed. Yea, it displays same as yours when I boot into Bootloader . Sucks really. I got a Nokia Lumia 925 for free through work today! Woo, except for it is barely better with LTE than HTC One is. I am comparing both of them to Nexus 4 and S4 on LTE, both are so much better at handling it. Like I never lose it at my place, nor when I am at my gym, or anywhere else. On Lumia it does have higher signal strength than HTC One, but it still loses signal in same areas sadly. I was hoping this Radio update would have addressed it, maybe there is something else in the firmware file..?

Although I will say mine is holding LTE better now.
Maybe another part of the TMO update was just to make bars seem better?
I definitely have to say that I've never noticed such sizable improvement on a radio update on any other phone [that I've owned] than this one we just got. T-Mo and anyone else involved did a great job. I'm picking up 3 bars LTE in my home were before I would get sporadic and faded LTE service.

LTE problem After 4.4.4 Dev. update

I have AT&T branded M8. It is converted to Dev. Edition since 4.4.2. Everythink was working fine until I accepted update 4.4.4 last night. My getting connected with LTE signal with full bar but when I go to browse internet, It takes forever. I just flash at&t 4.4.2 RUU and everything works like charm but as soon as I flash Dev edition, LTE does not work. I am using "RUU_M8_UL_K444_SENSE60_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_3.28.1540.5_Radio_1.21.21331147A1.19_2G_20.63.4196.01_release_394319_signed_2" RUU file for Dev edition.
Thanks.
Try it again but flash the radio that works best for you afterwards
I converted my AT&T HTC M8 to Developer Edition last night and I also have issues with LTE. I mean it works jus like pics on Facebook take forever to load. Ebay takes forever to load pics also. But I'm gonna see if It's safe to Flash the radio that I had b4 converting.

I'm Dev converted and updated to the latest with the same radio listed in the ruu.only thing different I've done is I flashed the GPE stock untouched 5.0.1 lollipop ROM,I don't seem to have the issue with LTE
I think its the configs for ATT LTE are not right, did you run a speed test before and after? Changing radio I do not believe will helo as it is made for the ATT US Market

More than I ,I hope .
Why do we have a Radio collection for different Models/CID if flashing them makes no difference ?
Could it be simply placebo ?
As it seems with the M8, the radios were pretty much the same with 4.4.4(same version numbers), the differences were with the software. The euro and developer builds had same version build numbers but the configs and software were the contributing dif's and what were causing the issues with ATT users and the new LTE configs being used by ATT.

If I find a good one would you consider using one ?
I having same problem as OP I flashed different radios and made no difference. So I was like, I'll jus reconvert it back to AT&T but I wiped and restored a back up that I had b4 the conversion 4.4.3 and now LTE is working like it should. Internet loads instantly in the browsers.. So if it keeps working good after a couple of days then I'll just keep this backup..
