More testing to various available servers on speed test. Curiously, the geographically closest is also the slowest.

Peaked out at over 8 mbits/second down and ~1 mbit up.

Is clearwire throttling upstream speeds?

BTW, excellent alpha so far!

i have seen that as well.

while in Boston, the Boston server is crazy slow compared to everything else, and i believe it's caped to 1mb up.

If i lived in a 4G area i would jump all over this, amazing work guys :-D

wanna thank everyone involved in this. you guys are the cream of the crop. i can't wait for the 4g symbol cause my city is real spotty. i dont have it in my house or work, so i'd have to go to a friends house or something to get 4g coverage. i have to say though i've been hit with the wakelock bug:( my battery as dropped pretty fast. spare parts shows the blue android bar almost all the way and running at 98%. can't wait for the next release! thanks again:D

I can't speak for happening when its off, but as far as whats happening when wimax is on, I'd recommend reading the first bullet point, pulled from the OP.

List of Bugs:
  • If you have Wimax on, DO NOT USE WIFI
  • There is a Wimax section of Wireless Settings. THIS DOES NOT WORK YET.
  • If you disable Wimax it will automatically re-enable itself if you reboot.
  • You can't really turn Wimax back on without rebooting the phone.
  • When you turn off Wimax it does not automatically re-enable 3G.(WORKAROUND: disable and re-enable wireless data - will fix this)
  • There is no 4G icon! This has been a low priority, and may still be... sorry.
  • You cannot tether over 4G yet. This is likely to change eventually.
  • There is no button to connect to 4G. This will change.

After a couple of speed tests (and finally changing the server to the city I'm in), these were the best speeds I got.

They are throttling all across the board when their network is overburdened :mad: I use them for my home ISP and I went from always getting 5-6mb down to being lucky when I get 1mb down. Wrung it out of their customer support that they "manage" the network to ensure everyone gets the same speed (ie: they can't handle the traffic so we all suffer for now).

yeah i saw that, but thats not the problem i'm having. even if i disable 4G then it still will disconnect after 1 minute, i just tried both ways to make sure. since i posted a txt file last time i'm sorry but i just learned how to use pastebin (i never actually tried before) and here is the pastebin link

Had to restore 6.1.1, as much as I love the 4G connection, the poor battery life I have had over the past 11 hours isn't worth the trade-off on an alpha build.

Hopefully CM7 with the wimax goodness will be out soon.

I would have to say the battery drain is the same as with a stock rom, 4g drains battery unless your in a very strong signal. Once we are able to enable and disable at will I think it will be equal if not better then a regular rom

Clear does throttle upload speeds to 1mbps. I have peaked mine at like 4mpbs up before it throttled... I'll be investigating whether or not I can remove that cap, because it would be pretty epic.

And thanks!

This may be a little off topic.....But because we are talking about 4G, im guessing a few people would know.

How far away from the evo can you be and still get 4g speeds?(wireless tethering of course) Im sure the speeds are less than what is actually on the device....But whats the fastest it has been and how far away from it were you?

    SOURCE CODE:

    Over the past several months, toastcfh and I have worked endlessly day and night, over vacations and holidays to bring this achievement to the great community of XDA. :p
    BHLws.png


    Code: 
    DISCLAIMER: No one is responsible for your phone but you. No member of team win is responsible for any loss of RSA keys or any other bad result of flashing this ROM.

    Ok that said, we have had lots of people test this this successfully with no issues. I am currently running it as my daily driver with no issues. There are few caveats that you need to be aware of:

    Aside: Show your support for team win! :) (Thanks SHlFT!!!)

    Basic ROM Info:
    -This beta is based off of CM7 nightly 40
    -gginggerbread-6 is stable and should be fine to use as a daily driver.

    1) There are bugs. I will detail the ones I know about
    2) If you have a problem, please feel free to ask a question in this thread and I will do my best to let you know what may be happening.
    3) If you have a problem, POST A LOGCAT - use pastebin please.

    (If you'd like the Wimax icons used in this ROM, first send a thank you to shift_ :) then download them here.)

    Basic Instructions:
    If you are coming from an existing cm 7, you don't *have* to wipe beforehand, but if you are paranoid, feel free.

    I guarantee that this beta in no way interferes with your ability to connect to 4G on Sense! If you at all believe that this has happened to you, calm down, take a step back, and realize it's probably something coincidental.

    MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP USING AMON-RA 1.8 OR LATER. SAVE YOUR RSA KEYS MAN!

    1) Flash the ROM
    2) Flash the Gingerbread Gapps (EVEN IF YOU HAVE FLASHED GAPPS IN THE PAST - REFLASH THEM!!)
    3) Once you are booted, open the Wireless & Networks menu
    4) Press the "Turn on WiMAX" checkbox
    5) If you STILL have the gps bug, do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11183817#post11183817

    So go post screenshots of your speed tests! Let's see how we compare to Sense :D

    Changelog:

    • froyo-alpha-1: OMG KILL IT WITH FIRE! Has to connect by turning the screen off and back on. There's no wimax status anywhere. SuperKang rules supreme. 3G icon still displays when connected to wimax. Gmail sync doesn't work over 4G. Yikes the kernel is so bad. No kernel with Wimax baked into the ROM. Wifi doesn't work.
    • froyo-alpha-2: Wifi works again! Heyyy, this one is better! Can connect without toggling the screen and the 3G icon disappears now! Wimax Settings options added to the Wireless Networks menu. Still no 4G icon. Can't get back to 3G after wifi or wimax without toggling data off and on.
    • froyo-alpha-3: You can get back on 3G without toggling your data anymore! \o/
    • gginggerbread-1: Never publicly released. Initial port of wimax commits from android 2.2 to 2.3. Cheers all around @ first wimax on gingerbread in the world!
    • gginggerbread-2: Updated base code to cm7 nightly-24. There was much whining for the theme engine for this one. Added 4G iconz! .34 kernel still gay. Broke MMS and the data toggle!
    • gginggerbread-3: Updated base code to cm7 RC1. Fixed Gmail syncing!
    • gginggerbread-4: SLEEP BUG FIXED! AWAY WITH THE GAY .34 KERNEL! Fixed MMS and the data toggle (yeah they were related :p)! SlingPlayer and Dish Network apps broken... ?
    • gginggerbread-5: SlingPlayer and Dish Network apps work! Should now be speed improvements to JNI.
    • gginggerbread-6: Turning wimax off is MUCH FASTER!

    Outstanding Bugs:
    • The Wimax Settings Advanced menu isn't fully implemented and doesn't really work.
    • It seems that wifi tethering is slow for some people over 4g... workaround: install filterproxy from the market and use it when you wireless tether

    Fixed Bugs:
    • When you turn wimax off, it waits for 60 seconds before allowing you to turn wimax back on. Sorry, this is a semi-workaround to make restarting wimax work right now. It probably won't stay like this. :eek:
      [*]THE .34 KERNEL IS CRAPPY but you guys are impatient, so here
      [*]If you are using the .34 kernel, the notification bar pull down won't display anything to transfer files to and from your computer. ADB transferring works just fine.
      [*]If you are using the .37 kernel (that comes with the ROM) and your phone is unplugged, wimax will reboot itself randomly if the screen shuts off for some period of time. If the phone is plugged in, it works just fine.
      [*]If you lose your wimax signal, occasionally it will bounce from "Connecting" to "Scanning" and back forever. I know what is causing this bug, but I ran out of time to fix it. Workaround: reboot the phone.
      [*]MMS fails to send currently
      [*]The data toggle appears to be off and can't be re-enabled - data still works, but this is what is causing the MMS issue.
      [*]There is no 4G icon yet (but the 3G icon disappears when you're on wimax...)
      [*]There's some strangeness if you connect to wifi and then connect to wimax or vice versa. If you have issues connecting to networks, toggle your wifi or wireless data off and on a couple times and it should fix itself.
      [*]If you have Wimax on, DO NOT USE WIFI
      [*]There is a Wimax section of Wireless Settings. THIS DOES NOT WORK YET.
      [*]If you disable Wimax it will automatically re-enable itself if you reboot.
      [*]You can't really turn Wimax back on without rebooting the phone.
      [*]When you turn off Wimax it does not automatically re-enable 3G.
      [*]You cannot tether over 4G yet. This is likely to change eventually.
      [*]There is no button to connect to 4G. This will change.

    Frequently Asked Questions:
    Q: Browsing the web is slow on 4g, wtf?!
    A: You probably have AdFree installed. Uninstall it and your browser speed problems should disappear.

    Q: Do I have my RSA keya? Can I still connect to wimax?!
    A: To check your RSA keys, go to the market and download "Wimax Keys Checker" by joeykrim

    Q: My wimax keeps turning itself off! What gives?!
    A: Are you using a switch widget/application like Switcher Pro? UNINSTALL IT.

    Q: How do I use logcat?
    A: See below:
    spiicytuna said:
    Option #1
    1. Download aLogcat from the market
    2. Launch the aLogcat
    3. Go launch the program thats crashing, allow it to crash
    4. Go back to aLogcat
    5. Menu -> Send
    6. Email it to yourself, then post it on here for shinzul/toast + thread

    Option #2
    1. Hook your phone to your computer with the usb cable
    2. With your fav CLI type: "adb shell logcat > crashlog.txt" (w/o the " ")
    3. On the EVO launch the program that's causing problems, allow it to crash
    4. In the CLI hit "crtl+c" (to stop the logging process)
    5. In the same folder as adb will be a text file called "crashlog.txt"
    6. Post it on here so that shinzul/toast + thread can take a look at it

    Option #3
    1. open terminal on your phone
    2. if the character showing is a '$' type "su"
    3. type "locat > /sdcard/logcat.txt"
    4. post the logcat.txt file on your SD card on here so that shinzul/toast + thread can take a look at it

    This thread has served it purpose, and no longer needs to be open.

    Before it's closed I want to thank everyone who supported us on behalf of TeamWin. Without all of you this would not have been possible. In the beginning it seemed impossible, together we proved it wasn't, and showed everyone what teamwork and determination could do. Again thank you to all who have stood behind, worked with, and supported us. You guys are the best


    TeamWin FTW

    What gps fix? Can you please direct me to the fix. This about the only thing stopping me from using this as my daily driver. Thanks in advance!

    I want to post this for whoever may be having trouble with the GPS working properly. There is a fix for this problem but is kind of a pain in the ass. Here is a detailed fix to the problem:

    1 - Go to the Market and download the app: MSL Reader
    2 - Use this app to get your MSL # (mine was six digits)
    2 - Flash to any Sense ROM
    3 - Launch phone dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX# (##4772579#)
    4 - Enter the MSL Number from above
    5 - Your phone will automatically reboot in 10 seconds
    6 - After you're rebooted back into the Sense rom you can go and reFlash CM7
    7 - Hopefully this fixed your GPS!
