With speeds already in the 1.5 - 4 range, your market doesn't need the 2nd "phone" APN, which explains why you didn't see any improvement.

Regarding your other point, I have seen instances where it takes a few days after flashing a ROM for the battery life to improve (or at least give you the impression it's improving, because the battery percentage becomes more accurate). I think it takes a few charge/discharge cycles for the ROM/kernel to "learn" the charge/drain characteristics of your battery (via the batterystats.bin updating process).

EDIT: I think darkside1904's point is that you should give any changes some time to accurately notice if said changes make a difference. For example if you flash a new radio and RIL, and then run a few speed tests and notice your speeds are slower, you shouldn't rush to judgment that the new radio/RIL is the actual culprit.

EDIT2: @darkside1904, congratulations on getting married!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Duffman14:
I wouldn't do that. Best to perform a nandroid of MIUI, then full wipe before installing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
+1. I can tell you for sure that 1 day is sometimes not long enough to determine your peak network speeds for instance. There was a period of time for 4 days in a row I couldn't hit more than 1 Mb/s down. If I had flashed a new radio or something prior to this 4 day span, I would have sworn that it was the cause of the poor speeds. And then if I had flashed back to another radio, and my speeds were still slow, then I would have thought oh no, something's happened to my phone now. But low and behold the speeds restored eventually, and I didn't do anything to my phone during those 4 days.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
Congratulations!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Thank you for throwing your hat into this ring, henrybravo! You are our foremost expert on this. I think we have been led into a wild goose chase here. The cm7 base has not shown this problem, and I don't think the optimizations Adam did caused it. At&t is inconsistant. I work for a local dealer and for the last week I have been inundated with data complaints. Customer service answers with an upgrade to 4g as the cause. I'm not sure I buy the 4G hype, but they are making changes to their network. My thought is that a lot of us (myself included) are flash happy and rarely have enough time between tweaks to our systems to test properly. Even the testers for this rom see a build the day before to a few hours before it hits the public. I have flashed everything in the radio thread. I just went back to the ota and the ril that came with the rom and my speeds are back to normal. Just my 2 cents.
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
Inconsistent :)

But I'm certainly not capped
[HTC Inspire 4G] Alteros:
First off, I apologize for kind of restarting this debate and then disappearing, I got kind of busy. First off I want to say that I would not change from this rom even if my speeds stayed lower, it just rocks in all other departments. Secondly, I am not convinced it's the ROM, which is the reason for the question at all. And I would have posted it in the General Section, but we all know they would have fried me and told to post in the ROM section.

I probably should have worded my question to say something more along the lines of:

Can anyone think of a reason that my speeds would suffer after a reboot and then more than triple if I reflash the same radio?

I understand, as do most others here I hope, that speeds will vary. I find it hard to believe though, that AT&T fails right after I reboot, and chooses to pick up again after a reflash.

The process for me is repeatable and verifiable, at least on my device. I can reboot, run a speed test 5 times and have speeds under 1000. Flash, run the test 5 more time and all be above 3.2 up. Sitting in the same spot all within a 10 -12 minute period.

I did try another ROM, a sense based one, the speeds stayed lower, but consistent. They were always in the 1 - 1.2 up range, so I still can't say it's a ROM issue as the speeds never went any higher, though they did not drop after a reboot. All that tells me is that my low end is around 1.2 or so.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dxwilliams40:


I understand the inconsistancy of att network. Have been a customer for the last 7 years. I consistantly get good upload speeds from Adam's 0611 and 0618 without an apn fix. I only get good download speeds from 0626 or 627 off a fresh reboot. Anything afterwards is significantly slow no matter what time of day it is. I have tested atleast 24 hour period. For my use Tpgb0611 is by far the best rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Has anyone had problems with flash not working? Or if it does it's just sound and no pic? I'm having problems viewing some sites and wondering if its just me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Terrold:
I've noticed the apk installs wrong and isn't named right so I just redo it
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
Any particular site? I only frequent a few sites and haven't noticed any problems on my end. Let me know which site(s) isn't/aren't working for you and I'll try to replicate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dsmitty166:
Congrats man! I'll be doing the same in 40 days!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ladiesgod:
I've experienced this also. Sound but no video.
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
Movies flixster app FC's on me. Installed from market.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Just a few I've checked today. Would rather not say...
[HTC Inspire 4G] cab121783:
Getting decent data speeds but my GPS is on the fritz. Won't even lock with 0627.

I don't want to change radios or the RIL since everything is working alright minus the GPS.

Used GPS Status and GPS Fix with no luck..... any suggestions???
[HTC Inspire 4G] ladiesgod:
I've experienced the same behavior and I'd rather not say on what site either lol....I wonder if it's the same site heh heh

Where can I download 0626 and is there somewhere to check the changelog other than within the ROM itself?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
Did you use the GPS Status app that was packed in with the ROM? If so, clear the app's cache, or try downloading Cachemate (the free version is fine) from the Market and use it to clear your cache, (you'll need to give it root permissions to do so). After you clear the cache, go outside where you've got a clear view of the sky and re-open the GPS Status app. Right after you open it, select -> Menu, select -> Tools, select -> Manage A-GPS State, select -> Reset. Let the app work for a few seconds and it should start to acquire satellite locks. On the left side of the screen, you should see the "Fix/Sats" field. Let the app work until you acquire around 9 satellites and the app displays your current latitude and longitude. At that point, the app has done it's job and you can close the app. Stay put in the same spot you're at outside and open Google Maps. The Maps app should get a lock on you rather quickly with a minimal margin of error. If you aren't able to get a lock at all with GPS Status, delete the app from your phone and reboot. After your phone reboots, grab the GPS Status app fresh off the Market, go outside, open the app, and repeat the steps to reset the A-GPS State. You should be able to get satellite locks after doing so.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rob1216:
I have had that problem since the beginning of this rom, sound but no picture on flash videos, and the only flash player that works every time is this one. I have to remove the one installed in rom with root explorer reboot and install this one , so anyone having flash problems give this a try
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Thanks. That fixed at least one of the ones I was having problems with. I that was put in by default this time.. maybe that was 626.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lsun06:
0627- my tracks app forces closed ...anyone else seeing this? Installed tiff ROM and works fine on there..def ROM related.
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
I tested this as well. I get FC too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dxwilliams40:
Is anyone else experiencing freezing or repeated launcher force closes with certain theme Chooser themes?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Duffman14:
Which themes and what launcher?

I haven't had the issue with multiple themes and I use ADW EX
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
+1 same here. I always use adw ex and before the absolution theme was created i always used theme chooser. Never had any problems.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikeFlyCX:
When I try to flash this Rom I get an error message can't open sdcard .... bad!

I have done the wipes, I have redownloaded the rom etc. Still won't work. Any suggestions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] papa bewr:
Try formatting your SD card. Sounds like it got corrupted. Or use a differant SD card. What rom are you coming from? Was it a ext4 or ext3? That might have something to do with it also.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikeFlyCX:
ext 4. SD Card good as I can install other roms from it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Maybe not the whole file downloaded. Try downloading again and see what happens. Its happened to me a couple times, especially when I dl on my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
This just recently happened with no change to the device what so ever.

Wifi is enabled and shows the wifi icon as its connected to my network. But, I can't get internet.

I tried switching to airplane mode then back to regular and that didn't work.

Rebooting the phone didn't work either.

It was working yesterday just fine. No changes were made to the phone prior so idk what happened.

EDIT: Disregard this post. I found the problem.... Stupid firewall :/
[HTC Inspire 4G] dingokevin:
Is it just me or is the call hold button in a bad spot. Just got off a call and hit it 4 times in a 5 minute call. Anywayto disable it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Trevino07:
It' under call settings, and in the OP, There is a visual
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
If you have Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, or some other file browser.... can you use the app to view the contents of your SD card?

Can you perform an unmount and remount of the SD card from the phone without any problems?

If so, then connect the phone to your PC and enable the USB connection. Can your PC see the SD card? In other words, can the PC mount the SD card? If it can, delete the ROM from your SD card and grab a fresh download of the ROM. Verify MD5's when you get to that point, safely eject the phone from the PC via the toolbar, turn off the USB connection on your phone, then commence to flashing (Nandroid current ROM if you need to). If things go south on this attempt, I'd perform a FAT32 format (long process, not a quick format) of that SD card before trying again. If the SD card can't be formatted, or you get further errors, I'b be grabbing myself a new SD card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Otreblada:
Could it be that his card it is on ext4?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dingokevin:
I flashed from leedroid ext4after a factory clear with no problems.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
I came from Android Revolution 5.1.10, which was EXT4, straight to this ROM with no problems at all while flashing. When wiping, I didn't run a Full Wipe zip or anything. I just did the normal wipe data/factory reset, wiped /cache, wiped dalvik, then flashed TPGB. -
[HTC Inspire 4G] dxwilliams40:
Well I was using the default launcher. The themes are random. However, it has happened on the sculpted, minimal bread, and honeycreme themes. Sometimes when I choose a theme, it may take me to the initial setup where I touch the droid and enter google account information. The setup may force close before completion, but the theme will take effect. Sometimes there will be repeated force closes, and it will require a reboot. Sometimes it just freezes everything, and I will simply have to wait or pull the battery. If I choose one theme, and stick with it there usually is no problem. However, when I try a few themes to see visual changes one after another, thats when the problem occurs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Are you rebooting in between theme changes?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dxwilliams40:
That may be the problem. Should I reboot after each theme change?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phoenix-Lead:
That would be ideal. HOpefull.y this comes out spelled right as I have had al to driknk tonight:D:D:D:D<---Happy army'1
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:

K so what's your email so I can invite you?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phoenix-Lead:
I pm's you so I don't get spammers by ashiest! J/k. I just doñr want trolls emailing me>™:(
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:

HEY!!! just because your awesome doesn't mean ill spam you.... :-(:-(
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
EDIT: Nevermind. I must've lived under power lines as a kid. :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
It was available yesterday too. You still need the invite to access it. :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
You caught my brainfart before I could edit it, :p I really need to quit trying to function on 3 hours of sleep, haha.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Haha. I know that feeling well. I usually get woke up around 230. And then can't go back to sleep..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Duffman14:
I heard they opened the invite floodgates...
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Can you send me one?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Duffman14:
Oh, I would if I had one lol. In need of an invite myself lol.

The app only gives me one of my Gmail accounts but it still tells me it's closed
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Same here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phoenix-Lead:
Oh ****! I was drunk. But looks like I covered my ass with a jk:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] crupp:
When you guys recieved your links did you enter your username and password to log into your google account?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
yea yeah... that was really something to wake up and read.. I know that being a woman in this mans world is bound to get a few comments like that.. no worries. this just means you owe me later hahaha jk..
[HTC Inspire 4G] zasanil:
usb options?

Are there any usb options like in the regular rom anywhere? Things like usb pass-through, or usb internet or things like that. I couldn't seem to find any other than the mount / unmount sdcard.

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
USB tethering is located in Settings>>Wireless & networks>>Tethering & portable hotspot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zasanil:
That's for letting the PC use the phones internet correct? Is there an option for letting the phone use the PC's internet? Or an app perhaps? Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Before rooting, there was an option to let your phone use your computers internet, lost it after root, and otherwise you can always use wifi.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Oh sorry I misunderstood - so you're talking about a reverse tethering type of situation. CM7 (and thus Adam's ROM) doesn't support this feature as far as I know. This was an HTC specific feature, so as ashies7 alluded to, you'll have to use a Sense ROM for this feature.

A quick search found that someone posted this same question in our sister forum a few days ago, but got no response.

The only workaround I can think of only applies if you're using a laptop, or a PC with a wireless network card in it. I haven't tested this myself, but assuming the laptop is connected to the internet using an ethernet cable, then you can start an ad-hoc wireless network on the laptop, and connect the phone (using wifi) to the laptop's ad-hoc network.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dxwilliams40:
You can download connectify to your pc. Once setup, your pc will generate a wifi signal that you can connect your phone to.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Thanks, good to know. Of course, your PC would need to have a wifi card/radio in it (unless you're referring to a laptop). That program is probably a friendly front-end for doing the ad-hoc thing I mentioned earlier.
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
When any of you use speed test, would the "h" disappear and the signal bars change color temporarily? This happened to me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dxwilliams40:
Yes. I was referring to a laptop.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Hey henrybravo, I'm getting ready to flash that new LoRDMod kernel you have listed in your sig. I have heard great things about the SBC kernels. How is battery life so far? I know Netflix isn't working yet, but everything else seem ok?
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
The SBC feature isn't working yet. LordMod's working on it, but nothing's been released yet and he's going out of town this weekend, and his wife is just about to give birth to Little Lord, so it may not be fixed for a while. I suggest not using the SBC version because the charging time is twice as long for no benefit. You should try the version 5.0 CFS-only or 5.0 BFS-only version. BFS version gives you a bit better performance, possibly at the expense of battery life but the jury is still out on this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Thanks for saving me the trouble. I'm running the beta 5.0 BFS and it's great. Just was excited about the SBC. :( Batteries aren't that expensive. If I can get an extra 5-10 hours out of my battery, it's worth replacing one a few months earlier. That is the only real drawback I have heard about SBC. Fair trade as far as I'm concerned!
[HTC Inspire 4G] dp1mat:
How can I change fonts?
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
so reading of the couple of post which kernel really should you use sbc or something different like bfs, also im noticing that my calls are dropping I have full bars but I have notice the they are not green they are white and the phone icon is not their I notice this happening when Im on a call for a couple of mins?

I have the latest rom 627 should I even bother or really just if I wanted to
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
their is an app in the market font changer (something like that lol)
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
HAHAHAH nevermind! wow missed that whole part lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
SBC is unrelated to the scheduler (CFS or BFS). SBC is related to how the phone allows the battery to charge. The idea is that a SBC kernel lets your phone to a true 100%, where a non-SBC kernel stops the charging around 90% to make the battery, in theory, have a longer lifespan.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
I see, well I D|L the 5.0 bfs kernel now i drag and drop the kernel zip file and I just boot into recovery and flash zip. Is there anything else I need to do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gvsukids:
Mount the system in recovery before installing the kernel
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
cool,thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] Otreblada:
I usr Custom android font switcher from the market. U set it to miui font
[HTC Inspire 4G] dp1mat:
Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
I'm in Google+ now, Duff. If you need an invite, just shoot me a PM with your email address.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
Ashies, I can send you an invite to Google+ if you still need one. Just shoot me a PM with your email address if you haven't received an invite yet.

EDIT: My apologies for getting off topic with my last 2 posts. I know some of you wanted access, and I have the means, so I just wanted to lend a hand.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rob1216:
How is Google+ ? If anyone can invite me I would appreciate it. I'm really looking forward to it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
I'm sorry if I missed it, but I did not see directions how to flash this. Do iNeed to mount anything? Or just flash it from SD card?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
It's actually not that bad. Setup is a piece of cake and seems a little like a lite version of FB. The phone app is the part I actually like the best. It has some great potential. It'll be interesting to see how G+ evolves over time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
I clear cache and dalvik cache and flash away! Nandroid first, but that's it. Have fun!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Must be as henrybravo said... I live in a craphole. Have flashed a new ril, kernel, and selected EVERY CPU setting there is, changed my server on speedrest to ones in my time zone andbthe ones an hour ahead, thinking everyone us asleep, and I CAN NOT get over 1.52 mbps down... :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
The bottleneck is probably in your local area. If you want to know what you're market is capable of, then you might have to wait until 2 or 3 a.m. local time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
One more thing ashies7. Make sure your "Phone" APN (the one named "medianet" in the AOSP section of my APN thread) is the one that is selected. Sometimes the selection jumps back to the other one. Your phone must be using the "Phone" APN for you speeds to be fast.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Thanks. I had not checked that and it had reverted back. After a new round of testing, the original apn was the winner.... hmmmm
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Let's focus on your upload speeds. How are your upload speeds on each APN? Pay attention to any stuttering or pausing during the upload test. If one APN is smooth, and one APN is stuttery, let me know which one does which, or if they are both the same.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
Im also having these issues where my D|Ls are very low even when I have full bars. Im seeing now if switching back to regular apn will do anything.

Just tested with only having 2 bars im getting 1.26mbs and .88 U|L @243ms Ping im in FLA its 7am
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chrisj7:
Why does the OP thank dill for the kernel when in my about phone it says LorDmodUE kernel...? I wanna run just CM and whatever kernel this runs so i can see the benefits of this rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Duffman14:
At one point he was using dill's kernel. He has since switched to Lord's.

He forgot to update the OP.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Well two hours of testing this morning. The media net apn won. I can't send you the pic of results in a msg, so everyone please forgive this pic.

Guess stl isn't ready for the high speeds..
[HTC Inspire 4G] dingokevin:
Nice to much free time. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
What's free time? This is my second day off (not counting Sundays) in 4months...lol. stayed up late, woke up early. Might as well tinker with the phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dxwilliams40:
Tinkering with the phone has become an addiction. I do more than just shut the alarm off in the morning. By the way, is flashing while driving dangerous? Lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
I hope not... lol. Texting and driving, yes. Flashing and driving, just good use of drive time. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
Depends on what you are "flashing" :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Point taken, my friend. Well played! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] dxwilliams40:


Flashing, ROMs, themes, and kernels only. Lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
try 200 LOL even wifi that takes awhile

but adam has the fixed one been uploaded yet?
[HTC Inspire 4G] xKrisx:
Yeah I think I had more then 50ish, everytime it gets down to the last 10, another 20 or so pop up :( .. Sheesh, looks like I am gonna spend the next hour uninstalling 90% of them haha.. Oh well :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
I had this issue when running the TiBu backups of my apps. Once TiBu finished I just rebooted and the market downloads stopped.
[HTC Inspire 4G] xKrisx:
Ok, so it was a total of 128 Apps installed, now that I am finished, I am afraid to start over with the new version lol. I don't wanna go through that again.

I am gonna start uninstalling now and hope Adam can turn that feature off or atleast enlighten me on how to do it myself lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JamesR913:
Is the updated version uploading now? One other question....is there a reason you don't use Rom manager
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
MMS

Has there been a fix for the MMS problem? I can get pics from other ATT phones, but last night I got a pic message from someone on Sprint and I can't download it. I am on the last build not the new one from last night/this morning.

Thank you
[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
installed this version DOWNLOAD TPGB-CM20110508.

Looks like I pulled the trigger too soon? This is still the one with app drawer issues, and FCs with Rom Manager et al, right?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phoenix-Lead:
Yes. Sorry. Been working like a mad man to fix the one I have right now. I will be uploading it in about 5 mins. sorry for the delay everyone. Good news is I have the no CM7 settings version finished as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Crennie:
My mms was working yesterday, don't think I have ever lost it with this rom .
