[Q] Flashed Dk28 modem and PIT, now DATA is sloooowww

Ok, was getting ready to flash a new ROM (ViperROM Trinity), and saw I needed to first flash DK28 modem and PIT(whatever those are?), anyway, installed ODIN, loaded the files like it said (only, it said use modem.bin, all I had was modem.tar, but seemed to work) and now my DATA is super slow. I used to get about 1Mb down and over 600 k up on 3G and 6-8mb down and 1.3mb up on 4G, now I'm getting 60k down and 150k up on 3G and 600k down and 600k up on 4G.
Also, have Signal Status Bar app installed, gives me my dbm for signal, Usually the CDMA and EVDO are about the same, but now I can have good CDMA (-70 or so) but I am only showing -1dbm on EVDO all the time, it never changes.
I have flashed back to stock Eclair, up to the leaked stock Froyo, a rooted stock Froyo, and now using Viper Trinity ROM, nothing seems to help.
I honestly don't know if I was having this problem before I flashed the modem and PIT or not, but nothing I do fixes it. I have been all over the place today traveling as far as 40 miles from home, still same everywhere.
FWIW, I had already upgraded to the leaked stock Froyo ROM before I used ODIN to flash the DK28 modem and PIT, I just didn't realize I didn't need to do that before flashing the ROM since I already had it.
Any ideas out there?

Download the data governor fix from ViperRom's thread. Follow the directions. Just make sure to take it easy on data. Don't constantly download large files.

hm, I'll try this. Ya, my 3g data speeds have gone down to around 20-30 kb/sec on average... You think this might help it?
It doesn't seem like the data problem is a "governing" issue.. But could anyone elaborate on what this actually does, or what the data problem is?
Thx for the tip!

Edit: applied viper's governor fix, and will continue to test- initial speed tests seem faster, but still under 100kbytes/sec down, about 70 kb up.

I wonder if since you just reflashed if you are syncing google/fb/twitter stuffs. and its slowing you down.

I noticed it too, I get around 40kb down and that sucks a lot, luckily I get 4g at work

no-- the stuff I'm syncing didn't change before/after flash, but I have most turned off:
Account sync: only Gmail (I do contacts and calendar manually)
No Facebook sync (..but I wonder what the SNS service is).
No twitter syncing.
Google Voice widgetservice and updateservice are the only other extras I can think of.
The last speed test I did, I was able to get over 100kb/s down. The odd thing is, my up speed has stayed the same. Before flashing Viper's fix, my down was about half my up. As of last test, my up is about twice my down kb/s (which seems a little more "normal").

yes.. ditto. except, I just have to find a spot and stand very very still.

Well, I hate when I struggle with a problem for a day or two, then post the question, then right after wards I figure it out.
That's what happened though. A little bit after I posted the question I tried Update Profile, and that fixed it. Go figure....
Anyhow, I also installed the data governor fix as recommended and it seems to have upped my speeds a bit. I am now getting over 1.2mbs down, and nearly 800k up. Not too bad for 3G. Haven't tested 4G yet....
Thanks to all for the help.

3g

Does anyone keep getting 3g and hspa in and out on cm7 if so how do I correct this
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Search around...
The phone stays on 3g until data is used.
It may not always show H.. but still has the same speeds.
Aosp Roms have slower data rates than stock.

I used the CM status bar widgits and set it to 3G only(this includes 4G)
Battery life seems imoroved as well....but i am using "powersave" governor and underclock (MIN368/MAX1068)....lasts 25% longer

I'm kinda new to all this so i might be wrong. I've been having this same issue before i even rooted my phone. I'm using cm7 rc 4 right now and having the same in and out of 3g/4g problem. When i was on stock i called tmobile's android department to complain about this cuz when the 3g and h kept going in and out i couldn't use internet at all. They told me to switch to 3g only for awhile instead of keeping the data setting at auto. I'm still looking for a solution to this cuz right now on 4g my speed is less than 2mbps. i have the speed test to prove. cm7 doesn't have an option to set to 3g only! so i'm pretty much f*ed unless someone has a solution. P.S. i'm not throttled ive use 1.5 gb this month.

cm7 does have 3G only option....
You must add the status bar widget to access it

are u sure cm7 rc4 has access to it? or are you talking about a different build? And I don't understand what you mean by status bar widget. Are you talking about the power control widget that comes with cm7?

Yeah..i mean notification power widget
Menu >> settings >> cyanogenmod settings >> interface >> notification power widget >> widget buttons >>toggle 2g/3g
After adding this you must scroll down to "network modes" and select one of the "3G only" modes

[CDMA NS4G] HOW TO: PRL hack Man UPDATE!

THIS Forum has helped me tremendously, This Question has been asked by ME and some other people, and I would like to share how I accomplished this Task.. Thanks for all of the useful info in the Q&A section..With out it i would have never have figured it out!! Hope this helps some!
First Off Google Search and download QPST 2.7 build 323
Install QPST
On your phones dialer: *#*#8778#*#*
Once the menu pops up select "Modem" on the bottom "USB" section
If on windows 7, Navigate to: stat menu >Control Panel>Device manager> PORTS>Samsung Mobile Modem...GET THE "COM##"
"Example Mine is COM39."
Go Start -> (All) Programs -> QPST -> QPST Configuration. Go Start -> (All) Programs -> QPST -> QPST Configuration.
"Add Port" - and input your COM#
Select your Device and Select "OK"
Open QSPT > Service Programing, Select your device
Navigate to the ROAM Tab, In the preferred Roaming section You can now Browse and select the PRL of your Choice.
I use the hybrid PRLs in the HTC evo Threads.
Select "write to phone."
If you want to Revert back to Sprint PRLs Here is a Link for Current and older Sprint PRLs
http://cid-eabe29f3770d8d15.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/PRLs
Phone should reboot and you are ready to rock and roll. Look under the about phone section to confirm your PRL has indeed changed.
I would Like to say this is not anything I have made up. I browsed multiple forums and sections to figure this out. All i did was simply write what worked for me. I hope Some of you peps can find this helpful. Thanks to everyone who responded to my posts in the Q&A section!
As Always Practice with care!!

I find this very helpful! I started a thread asking about this just today! So -this is awesome! Would you mind linking to a prl you have had success with?
Good on ya bro.
####EDIT####
I wanted to come back and state what should be obvious - but was not to me. When you are doing working on your prl you need to go back into *#*#8778#*#* and set it to pda/pda
After I did the above I thought I really jacked something up bc I could no longer use adb. then remembered that I had switched to modem/modem. I wrongly assumed a reboot would just change that back. I almost completely wiped and re-installed everything.

Well written tutorial my friend

If you use Verizon's towers to much (aka roam) with this Hybrid PRL method Sprint WILL drop you.. it has happened to a few EVO owners.
Fair warning to all.

Can u provide more insight into this? How much is too much? When sprint drops u, do u mean they just drop ur phone from using their prl? My sprint signal near home is super weak and being able to jump on verizon would be stellar.

I mean they cancel your contract and say see ya!

Guess its a good way to get out of your contract without the ETF. But after reading that hybrid prl's only increases your coverage and not your data speed, i'm not sure if i'll be using it. I get full bars where I live, just slow data speeds.

I tested my data before the prl hack and averaged 100kbs. I tested my data speeds after flashing the 00001 prl and averaged 800kbs.
so I did see an increase in data speeds.

Hmmm, interesting. Maybe I will take a look into it then.

The increase in data speeds is likely because you're pulling it off Verizon's 3G instead of Sprint's... What I said still applies, just a FYI.

So do ppl just leave it hanging while the hybrid prl is sucking in Verizon's 3g? Or do they turn it on and off to avoid sprint dropping them?

There is no easy off/on switch other then reflashing a non hybrid prl.

I just did it bc I am a nerd and I wanted to try it. I am to chicken to continue the use of the hack prl. I may flash it sometimes if I "desperately" need faster data for something -but I have already flashed back to the latest sprint prl 01115 i think it is.
once you have figured out how to do it -and done it a couple of times - it just takes 2 minutes. the hardest part (as always) is finding the stuff and installing it and then a little bit of figuring out. First attempt was scary. Next couple of times -not so scary. Now -just like flashing a rom.

Sprint can drop you for excessive roaming.

Simply said, Just use this hack if you absolutely need it. The ROAMING RULE IS, It takes away from your anytime minutes, and only 300mbs of roaming data a month. Hence Sprint can and may cancel your contract early.
FOR ME I HAVE RAN INTO NO PROBLEMS, so your outcome may be different so practice with care. I only use it because it is beneficial for me, and for many people as well, just check the EVO DEV Tread.
BUT SAME COULD BE SAID FOR TETHERING YOUR DEVICE, sprint also could reserve the right to cancel your contract...Have any of you heard of CIQ? Believe it or not sprint already knows your rooted and what firmware-ROM u are running exactly- In Fact i have first hand experience in actually knowing so. Long Story how but I do!
Rule of thumb practice with care you will be alright
SOME PEPS have more of a Inside connect so i personally don't worry as much as some peps

Want Better 4G Signal? Do This (Nexus S 4G Edition!)

It would appear that with the 4.0.4 update Sprint has finally blessed us with WiMax settings ala Epic. I stumbled upon the menu while trying to find what my WiMax signal was (which I still haven't found). As you other Epic refugees know, you will need your MSL which you can get from Terminal per kanged instructions below. I got much faster speeds at my location with this mod. I have only tested this on the LOTA R1 Rom, others may work as well, please report them.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything good or bad that happens to your phone. You do this mod at your own risk.
Without further ado here are the Kanged (and edited) instructions
gokuman56 said:
Want Faster Speeds?? This hack can double your 4g speeds and increase your connectivity by a great factor!!
You will need your MSL, Call Sprint or follow this:
1. Dial *#*#3282#*#*
2. It will open a menu, click WiMAX and enter MSL. Note: 4G radio must be on.
3. Go to extensions and Hold EntryRX and Write Extension
4. Change the Value from -89 to -110 (The Lower the weaker the signal can be for the phone to connect.)
5. Change EntryCINR to 0004 (edit: I had better luck not editing this and leaving it at 0006)
—————————————————————————
If you are tired of the Radio taking forever to reconnect once you loose your 4G signal, then:
1. Change Scan Retries to 00015
2. Change Scan attempt timeout to 0002
You will now have a somewhat faster and much stronger 4G signal!!!
EDIT: Easier Way to get MSL. Okay so you have to download connectbot from the Market
1. Open ConnectBot
2. Agree Next Next Yada Yada
3. Press SSH and select Local
4. type in whatever you want by local and press enter
5. ok once you see a black screen and to the left a cash sign, type in “getprop” without the quotes
6. You should see a lot of words, scroll up all the way at the top.
7. Near the middle of the screen until you see [ril.MSL]
8. It will be 6 digits and that’s your MSL

Well its already set at -87 then lower it to -110 it being further from zero than its the lower number

I think you guys have misread though. You need to see -110, not -89, as lower is better in this case. That's how signal strength is written.

Hmm seems euroskank kang does not have the wimax section(and wimax is on) wonder if I need to be on the wimax network to try
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

Giving this a shot...Thanks for the info!

This does help somewhat. It doesn't loose the signal as often, like when driving through a tunnel the phone doesn't have to rescan. I used to use these settings on my EVO. But they aren't on my ROM right now (CNA 1.5.5).
You can also get the msl by getting termonal emulator on the market and typing in "getprop ril.MSL" without the quotation marks. It is cap sensitive.

This should work on any roms. It sticks even after updating to a different version os. I did this while on GB and it's still there on JB. However, this does not give you speed increase. Changing from -89 to -110 means that it will still connect even though there's a weak signal.
You guys may want to try 3g/4g optimizer app. This improves speed (varies though) on 3g, not 4g.

Are you on the stock ROM? If not, that might be the issue (because of the modifications made to it something could've gone wrong in that specific ROM.) You could also attempt to use Phone Info from the play store if it simply just doesn't work in the dialer. There's not many people that have issues doing this, so it could be that you might just have to reset your phone if all else fails.

Just Tried it again on CFX SR1 W/ brixked 0.6 and got an FC. I got it stock as well.
But from what ive heard you will not kick into HSPA+ mode until you put a strain on your conection. IE: Idling/web browsing/facebook will not bring you up to HSPA:15 (you can check you HSPA Channel in the settings--->about phone--->Status and then look at mobile Network Type). Knowing that i live in a well covered area i was upset that i couldnt get full 42mbps. But as my research and expereince has shown i can get it, just only when its necessary.
NOW, im not a wireless tech, im not even a rocket scientist, but i have done alot of reasearch and the data matches my hypothesis so ill lay it out for everyone to tear apart.
HSPA+ 42M works by using a Dual Carrier signal, which of course uses a bit more power than a single carrier. So even if you have a perfect -0dbm signal strength, you will only see HSPA:10 [ aka 21mbps ] in your network type. BUT, if you put a load on your connection ( in my case i took a multi hundred meg file into dropbox and then downloaded it) you will see the speeds increase signifigantly past the first little bit of data transfer, and if your are quick about it or cook up some sort of widget or overlay you can see the phone kick up to "high gear" and use the HSPA:15 channel.
i have also seen this in effect with larger apps. For instance the Ingress update that i got earlier today downloaded in these steps: 756k - 1.3Mb - 3.5mb installing. in ~ 10 seconds.
tl;dr Phone idles in low speed mode, goes to high speed when needed.
So if you want to test for yourself and have a bit of data left on your account (in 3 test i burned ~ 250MB) start a big download and then quickly switch to a view of the network type.

Well no one has a solution or an actual idea about what the problem is so I guess we will just be waiting x amount of time for a fix. Maybe a ROM dev can look into this and fix the issue because it'd be really nice to use the new 1900mhz bands. Can someone do a log cat and see what the issue is? No laptop ATM.
