So I was on a odin'ed eb13 and flashed ec05 through clockwork. Ever since my 3g speeds have been crap, honestly don't know if it was faster on eb13 but I top out at 500kbs using the speedtest app from the market. 4g speeds are fine but 3g is slow as all get out, would it be better to odin ec05 stock, then root, the flash frozen/twilight rom/kernel? But should I wait since I know gb is right around the corner? I mean I don't have a computer on me I flash at my friends house. Maybe ill just flash gb once its out. Just tired of slow 3g....

3g speeds for me usually stay around 500kbps from 4-10pm and during the day they can sometimez hit 1.2mbps it varies due to traffic and I have the ec05 modem too

I first Odin'd just the EC05 modem and my 3G was crap...worse than EB13. I Odin'd back to DI18 and let it OTA and now my 3G flies. Something doesn't sit right by just flashing the modem.

good to know. i'll try that, as my 3g has been in the toilet since updating to ec05. i'd actually be happy with 500 during peak hours. mine is sometimes practically non-existent. i've scored 10, 7, and 6 kbps in the speedtest app. i'd rather it just flip me off and display 0 than give me a 6. it recently took 37 minutes to download a 3.57mb app from the market. ri -freaking-diculous!
I dunno though, I heard the ota wasn't all that. So I just flashed a ec05 modem through clockwork, I ended up downloading a pre rooted ec05 tar at work where I get 8mbs down on 4g! I also downloaded the leaky GB so ima play with that for a day for then just flashed the ec05 and see wha happens.

I have a similar problem but only for upload. Any reason why upload speed would be limited to 125-150kbps with both EB13 and EC05 modems?
Or better yet, is there a way to accept the ota update without going back/forth and wiping my data & settings?

I have experienced that with such apps that disable data (i.e. quick settings), they potentially ruin your CDMA data speeds. I had to re-odin my Epic to get data back to normal. Well now that we have froyo beta's out there, I noticed the option to disable data network mode. Is it safe to do so without ruining your data?
I've used that option on this new Froyo about a million times without issue. I don't think it would hurt our phones since it's baked in by Samsung and not our devs here. If you have issues with it I'd be interested to hear about them but I say try it out because I've have zero problems. I'll do another speedtest tomorrow when I'm home in Minneapolis. I'm currently at my parent's and 3g is spotty and slow here.
Ah. Ok will do. I forgot this was a leak from samsung's Hq
My CDMA data speed has been destroyed and I've been trying to figure out why. I haven't been around wifi for a couple days and haven't been able to download a new rom to flash to try it. Any fixes other than odin?

According to speedtest.net app, 13 kb/s. That's absolutely pathetic. I've seen faster dial up. I ran the test 3 times to be sure and I have 5 bars of reception. With wifi on it's 4+ mb/s.
Edit: flashed a new rom to see if that would fix it, and no luck. Looks like it's time for odin once I get access to a computer.

i use froyos 3g toggle all the time and i havent noticed a major difference. but i live up in the middle of nowhere in new hampshire and i'm experiencing faster 3G speeds and i only have 1 bar as of right now. just ran a speed test and got 102.4 kB/s. i would definitely say there's something wrong in your case, i just don't think it's the data toggle based on my own experience. However, I could be wrong.

Had the same issue. Data would just stop plus it would seem to get stuck in an upload mode. Sometimes toggling to airplane mode would fix it but ultimately would have to reboot. Gave the DL09 radio a shot with very positive results. Better tws and not data stoppage. Running DL09 radio with EB01 rom and happy.
DL09 Modem.
Doesn't hurt to try. Others have had good results with it too.
good day.
Even when I was on stock I had the above issue. Called verizon, got a replacement. Happens a lot less now.

I am using Syndicate Rom Frozen 1.1.0 and have been loving how fast it is. The only issue I have discovered is that the indicator at the top is showing 0 or 1 bar for 3g network. Therefor I have been missing about 75% of calls, and dropping more. I came from factory DI18 Eclair. I had to flash the rom twice to get it to work. Still no 3g service. (fyi...flashed yesterday)
Your phone probably doesn't like the EC05 modem. Flash the EB13 modem.

ya that sounds similar to the last few days, i definitely think sprint is doing something..
I am near Portland, OR. I was on EC05 and things were working fine. I flashed back to factory DI18 and then to SRF. Things didn't get slow until SRF. Should I reflash the EC05 modem, or just try EB13? I too am roaming where I normally have full service.
Anyone else have issues with the xda app today? Kept timing out for me...this is the first I've been able to get in the app today..sprint shenanigans? I'm still on eb13 srf 1.02

I have noticed that while using the EF02 ROM I am getting 2/3 slower download speeds while using 3G an 1/3 slower download speeds while using WIFI. I have odined the EF02 ROM multiple times to make sure it wasn't a glitch, I noticed this issue even worse on EE03. I have even re-odined back to EC05 to check against the EE03 and EF02 numbers and EC05 is definatly much faster for 3G and WIFI download speeds. I do notice that the phone feels much faster using EF02 but the download speeds do suffer. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

try ef10 modem by going to update firmware in about phone
I posted comparison results as well on an airave. EC05 modem was fastest out of all the Gingerbread modems.
That is a good point I forgot to mention that 3G speeds from my Airave also decreased wth EE03 and EF02 in comparision to EC05.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
It's the ROM, not the modem. I went back to FroYo w/ EF02 modem, and my speeds were back up to 100%. My 3G wasn't affected by EF02, but my WiFi was.
My question: is it the modems fault, or the roms?
I get slower wifi speeds too.
Sent from my SPH-D700
I have the same problem super slow 3g was under 100kbps on both the EF02 and EF10 modems. I got some better results (but still very slow) after resetting the RTSP proxy and ports. Hovering around 350kbps now. Has anyone tried running the EC05 modem with EF02FW? I wonder how that would work?
I updated my firmware to the EF10 modem and it is about 200-300 kbps slower than the EF03 modem on 3G and about 700 kbps slower on the Airave 3G signal. I pressed upgrade firmware again and it took me back to the EF02 modem. I went back and forth from EF02 and EF10 modems a few times do different tests and the EF02 is about 1/3 faster.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I tried running the EC05 modem in the EE03 ROM and it was just as slow as the EE03 modem; however, when I went back to the stock EC05 ROM my speeds shot up. It has to be the ROM but I am not an advanced enough Android user to figure out what part of the EE03 and EF02 ROMS that cause this issue.

You often post about your unique situation as if it is the standard. Just because something does or doesn't work on your phone, doesn't mean everyone else will experience the same results (I've seen you make declarations like this before in other threads).
I am still on Froyo (SRF 1.1.1) and I did notice decreased speed with both EF modems compared to EC05. So your assertion that it is the rom cannot be correct, because I am one (of many, I'm sure) counter example.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I've seen the exact opposite. My 3G speeds are finally tolerable with EF02 and EF10. I had abysmal 3G on DK28/EB13/EC05, usually around 100-200kbps at the absolute fastest (usually much much worse). So far EF02/EF10 has given me double that. EF10 modem ftw!

Personal choice. EC05 is still molst people's choice. EE03 is another popular choice. I have tried them all and found the best speeds on EE03 and EH17. You have to try them for yourself and test for your unique phone and area.

I've found that EH17 has worked best for me; indoors 8/8 lock and GPS 2.6m accuracy. I can even connect to 4G; which I haven't been able to do since EB13 modem and finally cell strength has improved by a bar.
As with anything .. YMMV
I am using EG22 currently, the only problem is with the cell strength indicator. I am thinking about trying EH17.

It definitely has an effect on your 4g. Try flashing a modem in odin, and pull the cable. Thatll screw up ur baseband (modem). WiFi will work, 4g won't (or a 3g or SMS or calls). WiFi is a module in the rom (or kernel) if I remember right.

Well, when people run Speedtest and post results I feel its necessary to run it at least 15 or 20 times and average it out. I am still using EC05 modem and I average 5-6Mbps download speeds but I get bursts on some runs of 8+Mbps. I know that I personally haven't seen any marked improvement in average speed or signal strength myself. I like EC05 and EE03 the best because GPS works the best for me on those

Check your 4g modem version in wimax info in the wimax dm screen. It doesn't always match nor is it upgraded with every modem upgrade.
Back on DK28, yep, no joke.
Went from ec05 to eh17. Noticeable increase in speeds and signal for me....used to get max 300k downloads in speedtest...now I can get max a meg or so. Haven't tested it all over but it seems faster all around.
Gps does seem a little....slower maybe? I can still get good locks on 7 or more and it is usually very quick....but sometimes it seems to take a little longer then it used to on ec05. Just my opinion.
