I just tested my 2G speeds as well, and I get 3x faster uploads in EDGE than I do in H+... What is going on?

I'm in NYC on Tmobile using Blaze and other Tmo radios on my i717 and I regularly get 2Mbps down and 0.05Mbps up in H+ and I just tested my EDGE and I get 0.12Mbps down and 0.13Mbps up. It seems crazy that my HSDPA speeds upload speed is significantly slower than my EDGE uploads.

I just installed latest Cookies and Cream ROM right now and also tested an option called HSUPA upload speed hack which I had not seen before in previous ROMs I'd been using, but it doesn't change/fix anything.

But my downstream bandwidth doesn't appear to be throttled, and these speeds have been consistent over the 3 months I've had my i717 and my T-mobile account and my data usage meter both say I haven't ever gone over my 2GB cap. Also I would think i'd get throttled to edge speeds, but in edge mode I get faster uploads than in H/H+.

Can we use JB ROM's dialer and *#*#4636#*#* shortcut to set CDMA settings for better T-Mobile speeds? I couldn't find the options similar to the ones we get on stock ROM following instructions posted earlier.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cphancock1:
no not untill there is a jb touch wiz rom. that doesnt do much anyway only force cdma. sometimes you will get faster speeds but if you get to an area or in a building wfere only gsm reaches you will lose connection. it has already been shown when there is a weak signal 4g up and down speeds are faster thats all youre doing with the dialer trick

Does Jamie's ROM with enabled s-pen gestures qualify as a tw ROM? We know that to enable s-pen some aspects of tw had to be ported into jb. I am just not sure what and how it was ported.

What is your speed with tmobile with your combination radio?

Thank you so much for your share. I flashed the new gt-n7005 rom and your new combined radio. Previously I was using tmobile rom with i717 revised tmobile radio. With *#2263# I can get 14M down and 1.3M up at reno. With you new combined rom, if I didn't do anything, it just has 600K down, 50k up. I tried *#2263# and it seems no effect. So I just switch back to the revised tmobile radio, and use *#2263#, and it can bring my i717 back to 14M down speed.

So my target is to let my i717 be smarter to pick up the best tmobile 4g signal, however your combination radio seems not working so well for me. Did I miss anything? Many thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] delacrow:
Sorry it didn't work for you. It usually works without the need for 2263 hack. But there was one test I did yesterday where at full signal I got nothing too. After reflash it seemed better. I also got a very positive feedback at another thread, though i am not sure at this time which ROM was used. I myself had used jelly bean roms with this modem quite fine.

I think that the one thing that makes it better is the amss file, and i wish we could reach out to modem developers to use this information to get us something better. But we have what we have.

At any rate, here is a link to my other post where I also used that amss file in combination with blaze modem. In my tests it picks up signal a little better - please try it and let me know how it works for you. I hope it works well.

By the way I believe that clearing cache and dalvik after flashing new modem helps.

need a suggestion

Tonite I picked up the 1900 band on tmobile for the first time. It was by accident. I had upgraded Padawan and he includes uclf6 radio. I did a speed test and the upload was 3.5mbps. When I checked on why it was so high (normal for me is 0.3 or so on upload speeds), I realized I was on an att modem- I hadn't flashed the blaze modem yet. But the signal is intermittent- it loses signal and then I lose everything- even call function. It pops back in for minutes at a time every 10-15 minutes. I must be on the edge of the tower reach.

So my question is- what is the best updated modem to use on an ICS 4.0.4 rom to pick up the new refarmed 1900 band on t-mobile? Is it an att modem for the i717 att note that I have, or is it the newest t-mobile modem?

I would like to do more testing, but not sure what modems to concentrate on.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] delacrow:
Not sure. I used uclf6 modem on T-Mobile 1900 band just fine. I remember seeing a comment that ucle2 modem works better on straight talk, so that would be my other (though not a perfectly logical) choice. I still use blaze or uvlg3 just because i can never get a reliable hspa signal on 1900 band - it works in one spot and then a second later it doesn't (goes back to old edge). blaze works great in 1900 reception area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
Thanks. I just tested blaze and my upload speed is breaking 2 mbps- averaging 1-2.5. More than enough to support voip over 3g if I needed. That is a huge change without using the little hack from robb.

I followed the threads when tmobile's note came out and that t-mo modem was not compatible with the att Note due to different antennas. :confused: So was just wondering what was the best way to test the 1900 band here in north jersey. ATT or tmobile modems. Thanks for your input.

Sorry for the Newb Question

Hey Guys,

Just want to make sure I understand what's happening and please pardon me if this is a stupid question. If it is, if someone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

I assume...

1. The note must be rooted

2. The note must be unlocked

3. The note must have CWM installed for recovery

What I'm completely not sure about is the process, if the above assumptions are right I once again assume that you would place the file on the root of the device, then start up using CWM then flash, then reboot?

I was hoping someone that has done it could clarify the process involved, if the instructions are posted elsewhere I would appreciate someone providing me a link.

Thank you everyone.

Thank you for sharing the gt-n7005 rom and your revised uvlg3 radio. I kept testing it after I put them into my i717 on tmobile 4g. I tested it at bay area, reno, and the highway between bay are and reno.

I like this new combination.

This combination seems more responsive to pick up better signal. I got hspa on the way from bay area to Sacramento, and watched youtube 720p video for 2 and half hours (over 1g data I guess). No pressure. After getting into mountain area, it keeps pickup "g". I could listen the 128k online intermittently. It was better than my old tmobile rom and radio, which barely got the data working. Once entering reno area, the speed is 13M up and 1.5M down.

Also I noticed that it keeps hspa speed at most places, while previously I easily got an edge speed. Previously I kept i717 on WCDMA mode only for high speed, but now I don't worry this and set it in auto mode because it picks up 4g signal much better.

The rom is smooth and stable and has 200M free memory, while the stock tmobile rom has 80M left for me. I didn’t restart i717 for 150 hours, and don't expect to restart it in the near future.

Good battery at least for me. I kept my cpu awake to use skype (keeping i717 awake seems to avoid skype offline. Terrible android skype.). I can have 11~12 hours for almost a whole day for light use with most wifi . I m not addict to save batter and keep wifi,Bluetooth,gps, location, synchronization, everything on.

Hope the information be helpful .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] delacrow:
Thanks, it is very encouraging. I live in bay area too and I also noticed the intermittent connection in the mountains (17S drive to Santa Cruz). Hopefully it will get even better once 3g is commonly switched to 1900 band.

Out of thanks for today, will be back tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] windroidHD:
@delacrow I am using N7005 ROM and the modem you provided (UVLG3modemfori717_gt-n7005amss), the combination has been very good, getting 6Mbps/2Mbps inside the house.

Call quality and signal strength are good too.

This is the first time I am using note to connect to t-mobile 3g/h, so I don't have any reference to go by, but this speed is good enough for what I use my note for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zivan56:
I still had to use *#2263# with that radio/rom otherwise i would get over 200 ms ping and only about 200/40 vs 4500/500 right after switching bands in the field test app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] delacrow:
Thank you for the test.

Did you wipe cache/dalvik after flashing the modem? Usually I don't have to do that, but occasionally some weird things happen and the old modem persists so I have to clear cache. I had not seen benefits of doing 2263 fix. But if you can confirm the need for that 2263 fix even after clearing cache then we'll keep it in mind whenever getting a worse than expected connection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zivan56:
I didn't initially. However, I tried again (reflashed) and wiped cache/davlik cache. It barely managed to finish a speed test (most end up with communication errors).

Doing the trick fixes it right away. It's basically the same behaviour as the Blaze modem for me (which most people don't have issues with).

This is with WIND Mobile in Vancouver (Band 4 - AWS band Uplink Frequency 1732.5 MHz Downlink Frequency	2132.5 MHz).

The only modem that works for me from the start properly is the Telus one, but it also starts up slow (no errors though unlike the rest).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] delacrow:
Can you try this (it's telus modem with new amss bin)

http://db.tt/zioKzhHj
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zivan56:
Thanks its better at start (900 down/50 upload) first speed test. However, I still have to do the trick to get it to full speed.

It must be something unique to my phone...it is a SGH-I717R (Rogers). I am sort of resigned to the fact that at least the trick was found instead of not being able to restart unless going for a long drive afterwards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nyvz:
Wow that UVLG3modemfori717_gt-n7005amss radio really did the trick, thanks for sharing!

I was using blaze which was usually fine in here in NYC, but in some places like at home I'd get 2Mbps/0.1Mbps and generally my GPS rarely could get a lock. Just flashed this new radio and now my GPS works and I get 7Mbps/2Mbps in my apartment! Huge improvement. Will be interested to see if it affects battery life too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] delacrow:
Even though i hear it a lot from some rom developers I don't believe each phone is unique (and I have some development experience too).

I just tried my modified telus modem and see the same thing as you - needed 2263 hack to get better speed. My modified blaze modem worked a lot better though. Since you are on a different provider I would attribute the differences to different hardware used by cell towers (meaning why blaze and uvlg3 modems that I modified with amss file from h0tw1r3 don't seem to work for you). But I am sure that amss file made no difference for telus modem i just provided. I think true developers really know how to make it work, and that is why I had been trying to reach out to them about the possibility of replacing the antenna from T-Mobile. I hope that jeet92 will have some time to see this thread and if 2263 offers some revelation that can result in better modem package then it's great. Otherwise I totally agree - its nice to have the 2263 workaround.
