[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dseldown:
Ok, NO Matter what tweaks I've done, I've never gotten my Vibrant to ever do better than 151kbps DL and the collective average is around, 61kbps DL I know I should be getting at least a Meg or more better. Just tired of seeing dial-up performance, when it should be better

I tried this tweak using root explorer, editing the first 10 lines of the data tweak. Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1151608?

Am currently using KB5 modem, always shows good signal strength, but the data thru-put sucks!!

Im using Simple Mobile, which is actually T-Mobiles network, I havent DL enough of anything to be capped, even though SMobile has it as unlimited, with no throttling!! And BTW when I was using T-Mobile still have always had slow data speeds and the same problem Im in right now!!

Also even when I'm in a known good area where it should be 3G it seems its always on Edge 2G!! Occasionally it'll show a "G" but it never seems to last long or make a difference in data speed!!

I've made sure the configuration in settings is set to GSM only. And this vibrant I know is capable of 3G frequencies!!

What suggestions or tweaks or script mods do I need to do to get this speed up to what it should be! Short of changing modems!! :confused:

[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
Are you guys noticing that a lot of the custom ROMs out now are pretty buggy? I have tried about 10 ROMs in the last two weeks, and usually they seem great at first. Eventually weird things start happening, like sluggish rotation behavior, or random reboots. Sometimes MMS messages will not send, sometimes texts get hung up and I have to delete all my threads... I've had my phone freeze while sleeping, and missed alarms. I find myself flashing a ROM almost every other day, because it seems that I don't notice a huge problem until it has a day to settle on my phone. One problem that really annoys me is that in the Gallery app, on some ROMs, when you rotate the phone, the picture flys off the screen for a second or so, then re-centers itself. In general I've had issues with 3G/1X, and sometimes even calls being sent to voicemail without ringing. I also notice that from one ROM to the next, battery life can be dramatically different, despite having the same exact settings.

When I had my un-rooted Evo 3D, I had barely any of those problems. I definitely never had it freeze during the middle of the night, or overheat, or get wildly-sluggish. Now, with my stock ROM, I never had as SMOOTH as an experience as the fastest custom ROM I've used, and I've also never had as great battery life as the longest-lasting custom ROM out there. I just wish there was a way to take all the good things from every ROM out there, and put it into one, perfect ROM. I have seen the ROMs that claim to do this, but they still tend to have basic flaws. It makes me think that an updated base is to blame for a lot of this. The first round of custom ROMs I had that were based off the original stock seemed rock-solid. Now I've tried just about everything, and there are glaring problems with each of them. Sometimes I am embarassed because my phone has powered off during very important times--like on-call situations at night.

I have multiple wipe APKs, but I was told that the newer superwipe was the end-all be-all of wiping, so that's what I've been using lately. Right now I am using one of the more stable ROMs, Revolution HD 1.1.1, but I still get the random picture movement when rotating in Gallery, I still get really bad 3G/1X problems, where I have to frequently turn off mobile data to get it back... I have had it reboot on me twice in the last 2 days. One thing that really pisses me off, which is not specific to this ROM, is that when I am on WIFI, MMS messages tend not to send or receive... I can't recall if the original stock ROM had this problem or not. I have this issue with stock messaging as well as Handcent. The moment I disable WIFI, my messages appear with images.

Being that I didn't have these issues with truly stock ROMs, I don't believe it is a hardware issue. Am I the only one experiencing these problems, or are others just glossing over these sort of reliability issues, and accounting them to being a flashaholic, or something similar? The only reason I keep flashing is to find one that is rock solid. If I could get the original stock ROM with battery life to get me through an entire day, I'd be happy, but it didn't come close.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
What ROMs did you try?

MMS Messages send and receive over WiFi for me just fine (Sense ROM) but on AOSP, they will not.

I suggest you try one of the lesser popular ROMs, as the top ones seem to have the most issues according to my reading and research.
[HTC EVO 3D] LfnsR:
If you want a fast, stable and great battery life that just works check out CleanROM. It is basically stock with the junk pulled out. The dev is very hands. Worth looking at the very least.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
well it's a good thing everybody is not having the same issues you are so we know to ignore this useless thread. thanks for the info and cool story bro.

i have two words for you... user. error.

i have never had one issue with cleanrom, steel rom, or WTSB rom... or smokin rom...

all of which would easily be classified as "top roms" as you put it.

and right now i am on virus' eternity 1.4.... been on it, with the same kernel, same settings, etc... for roughly two weeks. zero issues there as well.

sooooooooooo..... either everybody just got lucky, or you are causing the issues you described.

i never have noticed even a blip of lag on eternity.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Everyone uses their device differently, has wildly different settings, applications, amount of time per day spent doing one thing or another. In some cases we can consider there to be user error, but this really is unlikely in this case. The problem lies in the fact that we have more ROM"chefs" than developers that actually have the knowledge to code their own ROM from the ground up, instead of pasting other peoples work together and calling it an advancement. You can't provide support or bug fixes for work that isn't your's and you have little to no coding experience. Most of these roms are like some you mentioned; a ROM that just has simple things like "bloat" taken out. Those types of chefs have a purpose here, and their roms are nice for some users but they aren't doing much for the improvement of Android overall, and they don't know enough to be trying to slap features in that they can't debug...

Anyway, rant over. I think your reply was hasty and offensive, not to mention based on what I have seen, inaccurate. I think you have been lucky personally because you are using roms like clean ROM that don't add or change much. Therefore you really wouldn't experience what this user is referring to.
[HTC EVO 3D] awakener777:
I get random reboots often. The mms over wifi has never been an issue though.
[HTC EVO 3D] Malikione:
Thanks for the info and cool story bro.
[HTC EVO 3D] dougstoner:
Have you tried to install a ROM and not install any apps to make sure it's not app related. I've heard of lots of apps not playing well with certain roms. Just a thought.
[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
Two words. ANDROID REVOLUTION! check it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
Yes to some extent I see your point. Smokin rom is a build based on steel rom... steel rom however, is just steel rom. Clean rom has had little issues with previous builds but scott being a dev has worked everything out and optimized that rom to the max... and it has its own tweaks to it as well. Same thing with steel rom. I'm not sure what wtsb is based off of but I have never had problems with that one either.

And virus rom is damn near flawless. I have never had a problem with... ever. Since day one. Been running 1.4 for over 2 weeks and it is just as fast as it was the day I flashed it. So im confused by the op's post when he says after a few days they have all lagged and become slow

Was I a little harsh? Maybe. But was I right to think this person is simply complaining and wasting my time? Absolutely. This thread is just him complaining, not problem solving, not helping anybody, just knocking people's hard work when the real issues are found on his end obviously.
[HTC EVO 3D] epikphone:
Yep. I just tried ViperROM Test4...boom! 100% wakelock while charging. Buggy.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Well ViperROM is actually known for having some problems. Viper is trying to fix that, but any other ROM that is posted (well some but not all) don't have any bugs unless they're posted on the OP. Any other weird hiccups you may experience will most likely be kernel related, such as the random reboots or severe battery drain. I've tried most of the ROMs here, and I have yet to experience any weird quirks unless they are the ones posted on the OP. There are some ROMs that do have weird bugs, but it's not all of the ROMs.
[HTC EVO 3D] epikphone:
What's your favorite ROM? Fast, long battery life.
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
should you be whining about a "test" ROM having bugs? i think not, seeing as how it clearly says "Test" multiple times. what do you think test roms are for? to work out the bugs maybe. and phones are picky. all roms will not work perfectly for you. you "MUST" find the right rom/kernel combination that works best for the way you use your phone. less *****ing and more testing is all you need.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
I'm with this guy.

Try a fresh install.

Only use stock apps for the first couple of days your trying.

The girlfriend used to have a stock unrooted Droid x that she would complain about screwing up but it was usually her using alternative music apps and such .

Also if you use titanium backup never batch restore your apps and data. Manually update each app that you want so your not restoring any nasty app data that might be screwing up your roms ;)

Hope this helps ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Yes, I've noticed it too but you just need to use a dose of caution and ask around. I tried about a half dozen ROM's and I've found that the ones that are more "tricked out" have the most problems. Makes sense, because they are fooling with more stuff in the ROM.

That said, there are some really fast and good ones out there. Deck's ROM never gave me any trouble but it was a little TOO stock for me. I've since switched to CleanROM 2.7 and that's incredibly solid and almost as fast as the tricked out OC'd ones. So try one of those preceded with a full wipe and you should be happy.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] LfnsR:
Check out CleanROM 2.7 or CleanROM DE 1.2. Both have great battery life. I get easily over 24 hours with light to moderate use and 12+ on moderate to heavy use.
[HTC EVO 3D] epikphone:
Seeing how this is a thread about "Buggy ROMs", I feel justified in my post. Did I ***** and moan and complain about the issue? No. Did I complain about lack of support? No. Did I complain about anything else? No.

I stated the problem...."100% wakelock while charging" and that's it.

Go preach elsewhere.

Thanks. Your post deserves a thumbs up.
[HTC EVO 3D] tstack77:
I was originally coming onto the forum to post about how

every

rom/kernel combo eventually starts freezing on me after a few days of use (causing me to miss alarms/calls/etc), when I ran into this post.

I do use Titanium backup pro to batch restore and have been doing so on the Hero/Epic/Shift/3vo. This is the first device that I have had any problems with, but it does seem to coincide with titanium backup since the stock rom was butter.

What's the method of manually updating each app? Is it simply downloading from the market and restoring data to that app? And how is that any different with the likelihood of restoring "nasty app data"?

OP, do you use titanium backup to batch restore apps too?

Everyone else, is there a log file that I can look at to discover the process that triggers the freeze?
[HTC EVO 3D] Serren:
No problems on the roms I've used at all. Most of these posts do end up being user error, or just a bad phone. As someone else suggested, try Cleanrom. It is bullet proof. Nothing fancy, but it works forever.

If there were more problems, there would be a ton more threads like this. Yet we only see a post like this every week or so...
[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
if you want a perfect rom use stock and dont root. if you want tons of freedom expect a few bugs here and there.
[HTC EVO 3D] dmasteRR:
Been using Android Revolution HD and haven't had a single issue besides one random restart that I havent seen since. Been using the ROM since it came out.
[HTC EVO 3D] EniGmA1987:
If you are having issues like this, and I have kinda noticed the same sorts of things, then just put the original ViperROM on it for Android 2.3.3 and call it a day. That was probably the closest you could get to a perfect ROM. It only had 1 or 2 real flaws and that was because it is a problem inherent to HTC's source that were fixed in the 2.3.4 update. However that same update made a lot of other things buggy so the original is still the most bug free.

ViperROM 1.3 (I think?) and RCMIX Anti-XDA kernel was the best.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
I do a batch restore, but only on select apps. Are you guys suggesting that we only batch restore the apps themselves, then start the data from scratch? I think it's a very valid troubleshooting method to rule out the apps. I have had errors right off the bat, even before running TB. Thing is, Google restores all my apps (most of the time,) and even one of those could some how be conflicting.

I have tried a lot of the different kernels, and for me, they only made things less reliable. For right now, I am running Sick Sense X.1 and it's actually pretty damn stable. I am getting pretty good battery life, so much so, that my cat ate my charger at home, and I haven't needed it. I charge it all day at work, and when I leave, I use the phone a lot. Pretty impressed. Thing is, I am still having random issues with WIFI/MMS. Something tells me that is related to Handcent. I don't restore from TB on that, but I do restore via their online service... just the settings. Perhaps there is something non-visible that is jacked up in the settings export.

Though, even on this ROM with rock-solid battery performance, I still get random quirky behavior, like weird positioning in Gallery, or some sluggish behavior from time to time. I guess I am just getting used to it, because it's not bothering me as much. As long as my phone isn't rebooting, and getting crap battery life, I'm pretty happy. I think that is sad though that my expectations are that freaking low.

One other variable is... what version of TWRP are you guys using? I had been using the original up until this last flash, then I upgraded to 1.1.1 so maybe that has some impact. I don't see how it really would, but that's a possibility.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordcyrus:
I'm running into an issue where I can constantly reboot/shutdown with my phone. I've tried multiple batteries, multiple ROMs, different ODIN flashes using different cables and computers, and even the fix using SetCPU/Tegrak, but I still get reboots when the phone goes into sleep. Looking at the battery chart on GB, it shows the battery shooting down immediately to 0 and shuts off.

I'm running out of ideas here.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordcyrus:
I've gone through 7 different batteries now and still have the issue with all of them. The terminals seem fine. So far I haven't had the phone shutdown or reboot outside of sleep. If it's plugged in or in use, there is 0 issue.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Did you run straight stock and see if it does it?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordcyrus:
Yeah I've gone through both Froyo stock, GB stock, CM7, MIUI, CK23, Syndicate and still having the same issue.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
If it does it on straight stock EC05 then your phone sounds broken. Put stock on and take it to Sprint.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoffman1984:
Not that it would matter, but have you been switching modems with the ROMs? Also, have you tried to ODIN?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Syrics Jr.:
You could try wiping battery stats in recovery. Your previous roms may have altered the stat to read 0. Flash a rom boot charge to "100" shutdown wipe stats.

i dont think the soft mods are a problem :D

starting to become a dev is good for the community and maybe it makes some ROMs even better if there are people who can't/ don't want to/ don't have time to mod the ROM like they wanna have it.

Don't worry guys. Me and Mike are working to fight back!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
If this ROM complettely builded from sources, then we have a new one best ever developer for LG Swift, I'm not joke :)

But if not from sources - then ... this ROM can not be better than we alredy have.

Still do not understand why people trying to make individual port (donations?).

Would be better if all devs make one or two (2.2.x and 2.3.x) powerfull fullfeatured ROMs. All of existing ROM's has the same problem, try to solve it.

In other case you stuck on that problems too and can not move forward and that "new" ROM just stay as one more clone forom some other.

Any way, good luck, hope that you can make something new and usefull for swift users. ;)
