[Q] New to the forum

And I had a quick question. Someone on another forum said that there was a 4g booster on xda but I can not seem to find it. If this is true can someone please point me in the right direction? Tia!

There is no 4g booster - there's the Airave femtocell but it's not even 3g, its 1x as far as data is concerned. You can find more info on the airave here;
www.sprint.com/airave
oh yeah - theres also a thread on sort of the same subject here;

In order to get boosted 4g speeds you have to root using energizer1389's NODRAIN root method..

oh and i thought that was just for battery life! Crap!

There is a setting in the ##3282# menu that you can set it to connect from further away, but this isn't exactly a signal boost. Yeah, with the setting changed you might get a 4g signal where you haven't gotten it before, but the performance would probably be extremely poor, or drain the battery bigtime

3g now showing as 1x?

Hey guys my data/wireless tethering has became as slow as a turtle. Its no longer showing the 3g icon but shows 1x. I don't know if its something I've accidentally changed or what but its almost too slow to use. Someone please help! Thanks!

Perhaps if you, I'unno, give us some information, perhaps we can help. Stuff like, what ROM are you running? What kernel? What's your signal like (in -dB, not bars)? Are you getting 3G elsewhere? Do you have another Sprint phone to compare with, and what is it getting?

speed fun

hi everyone
this is my bad news
i just got my nexus s
and i still own my galaxy s
now same phone provider(optus australia) same Apn setting this is speed result?
Galaxy S: 4.92 download
1.12 uploading
Nexus S: 2.21 download
1.05 uploading
what also i can see i got H on my Galaxy but only 3g on my Nexux s
well for sure this make the different i believe but why for the same Apn tested in the same place??
now we have to fing the answare
Mr Gee

The answer is that Google don't seem to like the H icon and therefore disables it. The phone still works fine on HSPA, it just doesn't display it.

i can understand
but the different in speed?

Have you done multiple tests against multiple servers at different times of the day and averaged the results?
I can truly see a difference of 50% or more from one test to another sometimes, even when ran just a few minutes apart. Network traffic is just funny that way.
The other thing you might want to do to validate your comparisons is get the Antennas app from the Market (it's free) and make sure both phones are actually connecting to the same tower. They should be, but if you're in an overlapping tower area, they might not be due to load balancing by the network.

i will try
so definitely is not H on nexus S?

You will never see an H indicator on the Nexus S with the current stock firmwares. You'd need to flash a modded ROM or modify your frameworks file yourself to get it.
The phone is definitely capable of H speeds, though.

Same here in Florida. Vibrant gets 5 or 6 mbps down and 1.6 up while NS gets a max of 2 or 3 down and 900 k up

Thank elkavayo

Have you guys called T-Mo customer service and asked them to look into the problem relative to your individual phone?
They'll probably tell you to try a new SIM card (if you're using the one you had on an older device).
The phone is capable of faster speeds than you're seeing. It should get comparable to a Vibrant.

my sim i three week old
i will try to swap with sim from gs and test again
to be continued

I'm going to start throatpunching people who ask this question.
Just because you don't see an "H" in the framework, doesn't mean you're not connecting to the HSDPA.
Start downloading something then type in *#*4636#*#* in the dialer. Look at "Phone Info" and watch the "Network Type." You'll notice a few seconds after it starts downloading, it'll switch from UMTS(3G) to HSDPA(also 3G).

Hi Unremarked
have you try the code your self?
i try and give me wrong code!!

Typed too fast, my fault.

Or you can find the same info in Settings > About > Status

I love my vibrant, so fast so reliable so quick...to me nexus s is a downgrade

I have both the SNS and the SGS
SGS is on Fido
SNS on Wind
both gets a top speed down speed of 2800+ Mbps
and aprox 800+ Mbps up stream
that just gives you an idea that the SNS works properly, it might simply be the capacity load of the cell tower you were connected to

Nothing wrong with the phones or SIM. Has to do with the modem. Flashing different modems on the vibrant have the same effect. Some modems are more aggressive, but use more battery. Nexus One stock gets same download speed as nexus S. I'm sure most NS and Vibrant will perform the same in the same geographical area.
BTW, you don't get the same download speeds everywhere. At home I get 2mbps but at work, about noon, I get close to 6 (with the vibrant) and close to 3 with NS.
In any case, 2mbps is pretty good. I won't go and exchange my phone because of that. I have learned to enjoy my NS as opposed to look for any possible thing that makes it not perfect in the eyes of "my friends"

cool.. if you love it so much, why are you on the Nexus S forum trying to discourage other people about the phone? Not trying to be rude or anything but posts saying Nexus S is a downgrade compared to X phone is just really annoying.

Heh

you do mean Kbps right?
2800 Mbps would be 933.33 MBps and that's <b><u>CRAZY</u></b> fast lol

[Q] LTE questions

For about 4 months since I got my nexus 4 I rooted it and had 4g full bars around my whole town and my room had the best signal like full bars recently after I switched roms and not just a Rom like 4 of them and I get **** either a single bar of 4g or hspa+
I have read inline Google patched it with a baseband update im on m9615a cefwmazm 2.0.1700.33
Any help guys

I would try different modems until you find the right one for you. There is an app that makes it easy to switch.

Whats the diffrence in each modem.

I've been using 84-33 hybrid modem and it seems to be pretty stable.

Can't get LTE working on CM12.1

Hi, so today I have installed CM12.1 unofficial on my S5. I loved the rom, everything was perfect but I couldn't get LTE working. My Note 4 (N910c) gets 2 bars of indication in the same room, speed is 20mbs+. When I launch mobile data on S5, it takes long to estabilish connection, then only gets H+, and after several seconds it drops to 3G What can I do? CM is blazing fast compared to stock ROMs, but I can't imagine myself using 3G to YT/web etc... Help please! I have the newest modem/bl (BOC7).

I'm sure you've already checked your APN settings to be what your carrier advises. If not that is something to start with.
If you're on att,
Also look into your build.prop to add in/modify the following accordingly:
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900A
ro.product.name=klteuc
ro.product.device=klteatt

I am not ATT, i'm from Poland so Soo.. weird situation today. I've been in city centre where LTE signal is pretty good. For like 3-4h it was constantly switching between 3G/H/H+, and suddenly it caught LTE. Now I am at home and it still connects to LTE, 2 bars just like in Note 4. I am pretty confused now. It seems that modem/kernel/APN are all right, maybe a kind of system trigger that "stabilizes" the signal? 3G/H+ has 5 bars here, LTE only 2. I have already put a tick to "LTE (preffered) in network options. How about this?
EDIT
Rebooted the phone, again, no LTE

Wow that is cool! I remember my CM12 used to constantly wobble between H/H+ and once I finally gave up messing with it and screen turned off for 15-20 minutes, I'd turn the screen back on and find myself on a 4G LTE signal (feeling great). Once I made a call it drops to 3G, which is normal, but after I'd hang up it wouldn't necessarily switch back to 4G any time soon.
So I gave edgarf28's XtreStoLite a shot and haven't looked back since! It is touchwiz based, but it is light, debloated, lighting fast, and it just works. I'm on XtreStoLite 2.1, and I have no complains at all.

I have the same problem on a SM-G900T running on AT&T. After every reboot can only get H/H+ leave it alone and will grab LTE 10 to 40 mins after the screen is off. Leave the screen on and won't grab LTE. And of course make a phone call you lose LTE connection. And how long it takes to get back is very random. I can't find a solution to this and got a G900T so I can run AOSP. I was tired of touchwiz and trying to get themed apps and dialers. now I am screwed I wish I could find a solution to this.

No 3g but have lte
I know this is probably in the wrong spot so I'm sorry.
I just clean flashed my sm-g900r4 to cm12.1 cyan ROM 20150428
I have working lte data but no 3g, so when I move out of lte area the signal icon just shows an exclamation point, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The way I fixed mine was by removing all apn entries I didn't need. This caused the search for LTE to speed up no issues since

Why not upgrade to the latest CM12.1? I am on the October one and all the network issues are resolved.

I really don't know why the development stopped for klteusc, but if I were to guess, I'd guess it is probably covered under another variant.
For example, since klteusc is a cdma phone I won't be surprised to see US cellular CM getting absorbed into kltespr development. But this is just a hypothetical scenario because I couldn't find any proof. But it is worth looking into if anyone is talking about it online.
