4g on CM7 vs Sense?

Hey guys,
I was hoping I could tap your brains for some EVO knowledge. I've been rocking CM7 for awhile now and love it. The only "problem" seems to be how it handles the 4g connection. It seems like it will either use 4g OR 3g and if I turn on 4g but there is no coverage (or it drops out) it does not immediately default to 3g. I know on Sense roms that when 4g stopped, 3g kicked in. Has anybody else seen this?

I find 4G on CM7 more unstable than on sense when I use it. It's hard to keep a connection and seems to take longer to connect. One of the reasons I recently switched back to a sense rom.

I've actually experienced the opposite.
I could barely use 4G on any Sense ROM. It would spike my CPU at 100% (even after full wipes), it would disconnect and take forever to reconnect.
Since moving to CM7, 4G connections really quick and usually stays established with no problems.

i use cm7 and when i lose 4g my 3g automatically kicks in and my device uses that. i recommend updating to cm 7.0.3.1 they use the updated google 4g codes

Where are you reading that they updated 4G codes? Their changelog only says they changed a notifications bug and also a security hole.

They updated the code but I just realized it's only on the nightly. There is a problem with the nightly where mms wont download, so if mms is important, don't flash it yet

That's going to be in 7.1.
I've found WiMax on CM7 to be about the same as on Sense, which is to say it's flaky on both. I don't think it's really the phone or the ROM's fault. Sprint/Clear just hasn't built a strong enough 4G network to provide a good experience. Any time it constantly has to switch back and forth (which is going to be the case with the high frequencies they're running at and insufficient power or tower density to compensate), the experience won't be very satisfying.

I too am interested in this topic

I was using cm7 for a little bit...4g in chicago was slowwww to connect if it did at all...i just switched to virus's gingersense b3 and it is awesome...waiting on his kingdome port with sense 3.0 sometime tonight

i think it's pretty expected that two unpaid coders won't make as good of a code than a multi-billion/million/lotta$$$ corp can. amazing work either way though. that said, try one of the cm7.1 nightlys (any #60+ nightly, not counting stable 7.0.3, that's still 2.3.3) as the new android 2.3.4 has google's own 4g wimax coding in it.

Waiting to download the Kingdom ROM from XxXViRuSXxX. Apparently 4g works great and it has the new Sense 3.0, which is beautiful! It won't be bug free but I plan on jumping in and helping out and soon it will be a daily driver

What is cm7?

New to Android

Hi all! Long time ago my friend got the HTC HD2 and he told me about chaging to Android and I be able to using a Gingerbread version (can't recall who made it). After fiding that this device use flash player I decide to get rid of my old Iphone and get a HD2 myself but when I search for the build I couldnt find it, instead I find the Stock Desire NAND ROM which I love it. After doing some reading on the forums I found out that version is from 2010 so I been searching for a new one but they look different (I bet mods) and also none have 3G data.
What im asking if somebody could point to a stock Desire ROM or Desire S that have 3G data and dunno if possible but be able to buy stuff off market because when I try to buy something I get an error. Thanks in advance.

Pretty much any ROM you see on the nand roms page supports 3g data and will let you download paid apps, just choose your favourite!

try typing *#*#4636#*#* in your phone dialer
Then navigate to phone info, scroll down and choose your prefered setting.
initially I got wcdma prefered after flashing a rom...now I use gsm(auto).
seems better for me.

Tytung's gingerbread ROM is a but buggy

Thanks all for the help but I still dont get any progress, I play with all settings and stuck on EDGE. Im using a GoPhone sim card from AT&T and I know works since on the other phone goes to 3G instantly when home (other places I go back to E)

http://shiftpda.com/showthread.php?tid=4137 ....... try this amazing gingerbread 2.3.3 with sense 3.0 rom

Also try that and same thing... I give up I cant understand why this HD2 don't wanna get into 3G mode.

[UPDATE]
After reading more I discover the TMOBILE version of the HTC HD2 DON'T get into the ATT 3G network no matter if I change the radio firmware since is a hardware issue. Thanks all who try to help me.

working wifi-calling on froyo 2.2.1 HTC Dream G1

I made ​​it work wifi-calling on rom Froyo by Laszlo 2.2.1 and work
I leave the update for that use HTC Dream G1 T-mobile U.S with Froyo by Laszlo 2.2.1
Warning I am not responsible if this affects your current rom or otherwise cause damage to your phone
for those who have the rom Froyo by Laszlo 2.2.1 reboot in recovery make a backup and flashing the Htc-G1-wifi-calling-for-froyo-2.2.1-signed.zip
to try another rom 2.2.1 delete biuld.prop from the Htc-G1-wifi-calling-for-froyo-2.2.1-signed and replace it with the rom build.prop to try and add this to the build.prop
#rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so

Since laszlo is based on cm6 would this also work on a cm6 ROM? I am running the last cm6 nightly which I like a lot.

might work would only be build.prop remove and replace it with the CM6 and add the necessary information to the rom build.prop CM6. and remember the wifi-calling is only for T-mobile user

Wow, thanks a million! I was desperate to get wifi calling on my G1 because I live in a half-basement apartment, so my signal is pretty much useless. I switched to Froyo by Lazlo from straight CM6 because the latter was being laggy anyway. That took some doing, but once I got that all straightened out, I flashed your zip, opened up the app, and flipped the switch. Bam! Wifi calling!
I don't know who is behind building this, but thanks for pointing me to it and recommending Froyo/Lazlo. You made my night.

I am running tmo so I will give it a shot eventually. I have 3 of these G1s that I play with and usually only keep one running at a time due to my "improvements".
sent from XDA app

Testing this now. I hope this work. It will help me TONS!

This is the best thing to happen to my G1 since I put Lazso on it. You have done a Great Job with this !!!!!
I have used this all day long on 10 calls and everyone has said the calls are clear. Also it works great with my bluetooth!!!!
I am sending this link to everyone I know that has a G1.
NOTE: if this thread was in the developement it would get alot more exposure!!!

thanks

Thank you for this. Works almost perfectly, but theres one problem.
After flashing this it causes roaming and 3g not to work.
I go to wireless settings>mobile networks>Network operators
Then get error searching for network.
Flashing laszlo 5.2 fixes the problem, but then wifi calling doesnt work.
Can someone help me? I really want wifi calling and being able to search for networks to work.

Anyone else get this to work with other roms? It causes the wifi to stop working on any other rom besides laszlo.

CM9 4g connectivity?

My 4g usually has an okay time staying connected, where I am setting. I am using cm9 a3, and when it does connect it never lasts long. Doesn't matter if the phone is setting still, but the connection drops all the time... Anyone else?

I was having that issue with the mobile hotspot. It seems that the problem sorted itself out when I rebooted the phone.

Hmm, haven't used my hotspot in ages, and have rebooted a few times today...

Somewhere in the forums i read someone's suggestion that perhaps the number of bars showing could be better calibrated with the signal. That popped out at me because on CM9 I've never had many, if any bars on either 4 or 3g...been on EL30 modem for awhile and get great bars on CleanGB, as well as CM7. That being said, it did SEEM to me as well that connectivity overall on CM9 is more in and out too, especially with 4g. Don't really have any answer here, but I hear ya.

Are you able to use the mobile hotspot on 4g in CM9?! Soon as I turn on the native hotspotc 4g cuts out, same as with CM7. Third party tether app worked for me in CM7 to use 4g, but not in CM9. Really a bummer because thats one of the main reasons I'm not running CM9 daily now. Tethering at 3g is just too slow for me.

Yes I can use the mobile hotspot on 4g. In fact I think it works better on 4g for some reason

4g hotspot works fine on cm9a3 but USB tether still does not...unfortunate since USB tether is much faster

I agree. I attempted to use the usb tether with no luck

Well I know I am not in the best signal area, but I can usually get a connection and hold it for awhile. It seems to go to idle and shortly disconnect afterwords.

pretty sure people were saying that it will SHOW that you are broadcasting 4G wifi tether but you aren't actually and that it is 3G speeds.

I have issues with the bars as well. I believe its a known bug where the bars don't truly reflect your signal. I also usually have 1 to no bars but good data connection.

Could be...but after trying it out on alpha3, I'm pretty sure I was connected on 4g. Unscientific, but I was able to watch netflix brilliantly on my Google tv. That cannot happen with the 3g speeds I get, but I suppose I should go back and test some things with speed test to get some real results...

It works on 4g.
At my desk at work I get a decent 4g signal, but next to no 3g signal (3g is effectively unusable) i was able to tether to the 4g and get decent speeds from it.
CM9A3

Seems to be even getting worse, I am lucky if 4g will connect at all...
Actually, it won't connect at all, not even outside... wonder what is wrong...

I'm using the A3 as well & I guess I'm the lucky one because I'm not having all that many connectivity issues with it (yet).
The alpha tag says it all when it comes to anything not working quite right do your part and report it in the bug tracker.
The Epic CM9 guys are on the ball with there **** if they can reproduce it (assuming they don't already know about it) they should be able to fix it.

After a fresh reinstall, and restore from titanium and setup, it seems to at least be connecting again. Won't know til Monday if it works at work.

[Q] TMO wi-fi calling....

So I've been on Cloudy G3, 1.2 for a while and am pleased however I'm finding there are a few instances when I could really use the stock TMO wi-fi calling feature. But looking around I'm not seeing any roms that have it. Looks like they are all universal which I assume has this feature pulled out.
I did use a search but nothing came up with an answer. Maybe my terms used are wrong but does anyone know of a ROM for the G2 that retains the wi-fi calling? Other than stock that is....
Thanks...

Any other Roms still have Wi-Fi calling?
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Free mobile app

Sadly as a D801 user, I have not been able to find any rom that does wifi calling. From what I can see, only stock roms have the ability as TMO's service works best with them only.
