Data speeds = SLOW

[idtheftvictim]

Good afternoon everyone...

I am on AOKP build 34, and it seems like my data speeds are slow no matter what ROM i use. I can't break 3-4mbps. What is the best radio to use in Ohio? Anyone know?

I am coming from a sgs2 that used to get 15mbps, sometimes even higher. So, I know we have GREAT speeds in this area...just not on this phone.

Thanks in advance

Flash a new radio onto it.

I am running baseband version 11.69.3504.00P_11.22.3504.07_M which came with the latest ICS firmware...

Any idea which radio I should flash?

Well, you have TMOUS... Here in Phoenix it would be GREAT to see 15mbps!! Perhaps your sgs2 just got better signals...

try flashing the latest one from this forum post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867

In addition to a different radio/RIL pair, you can also try either of the TMOUS customer radio add on components from the link near the top of the first post of the Sensation radio/RIL thread also considerately linked above by x_SCOS_x_ELITE.

3-4 mbps? That would be fantastic. I'm seeing .02-.2 mbps. Yeah, you read that correctly. As is 20 kbps. All while seeing the "4G" symbol on the phone. T-Mobile quotes "Fast" mobile internet speeds in my area.

For the OP, I'd definitely try updating your radio and ril to the latest listed in the quoted thread above. I did it today and it definitely helped my speeds.

For the poster above me, if that's all you're getting I'd try all of the above suggestions, that's SLOW

The thing is, I am completely stock. I haven't messed with any of the radios.

Problem with data is solved via ICS-OTA update, if you are S-off you can use this one http://www.wuala.com/LuckyThirteen/Elegancia/OTA Update/
I had the same problem as you do, but as soon as i flashed this file....my data is blazing fast

Would that file be included in all of the ICS ROMs out there, such as VI, CM9, or Hypersensation?

To be honest with you i dont know i PRESUME it will , i do know that LeeDroid tweaks have it included, my (Elegancia) does have it..

Well, I've been considering about rooting and using a custom ROM. That data speed increase may be the final reason to do it. Averaging 20 kbps is just really, really slow.

Yep most of the ICS custom roms have it, I used to average 1-3mbps, I am now at 7-9mbps in the same place testing
