While I do understand what you're saying, the 'bars' have nothing to do with your 4G connection. The bars are only voice coverage strength, not data.

As someone above mentioned, just download and flash a new radio. Hell, flash and test them all (from OP) to see which one works best in your area.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Someone answered your question above. Clear cache/data from the TW application.

If that doesn't work reboot.

I have already tried the VK1 radio and the KID radio's.

I know ... i know ... ill try the others when i get home. Just wondering if anyone experienced this?

And i know the bars dont mean anything interms of Data. But when it says Edge and not 4G thats when im on edge ;)

I don't have a similar result with the Kid radio. Try them all as every device and location reacts differently. In Northern Cal, I am using the Kid radio after testing all 4 of those in the OP, as that one seems to work best for me. Just ran a speed test, inside a building and with only 2 bars, and got 4.6 Mbps download and 1.4 upload speed.

Doing something wrong?

I'm not trying to keep harping on this but I'm trying to see if I am doing something wrong. Put the 4x4 Agenda widget on the screen, reboot, after reboot then swipe towards the widget. It will force close just trying to get the screen with the widget on it. Again, not a big deal just was curious about it at this point.

On another note, is it possible to port this over?

The bars do have alot to do with 4G connection speed. Try surfing the web with 4G icon on and 1 or zero bars and see how fast pages load. With 4G icon and full bars you can surf the web super fast.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mafioso:
Hi TDJ,

Yes, I have noticed that too. For some reason, GPS performance has always been lower on darkside roms since gingerbread or rather other way to put it would be some roms have better GPS like on gingerbread Juggernaut had always the best GPS performance among all roms I tried (even stock samsung/tmo), for ICS its Dan Brutal's ROM. I don't know what is the real reason for this, but from what I observed its not related to GPS.conf since I've made it a point to use the same gps.conf everytime I install a new rom.

Its something related to gps driver libraries not reading agps info correctly. If you perform AGPS data injection (XTRA data) and then run GPS status app on your phone, You would notice on juggernaut or dan brutal's rom all the bars would turn yellow immediately (signifying GPS chip have ephemeris data for the satellites) even before the lock. This just basically means gps chip on the phone has the most current fine satellite positions because of the agps data injection which results in fast and accurate lock.

On your ROM (or other ICS/GB rom), some bars would be still purple/gray even after data injection which I guess means its not reading agps information supplied by injection.

I normally use leo agps data injector found here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16384028&postcount=1907

to download agps data since it download & injects XTRA data and NTP time both in gps chip. GPS status agps download only dowload xtra data. This program was initially coded for HTC HD2, however it works on any phone having qualcomm chipset.

I have only used two roms on my SGS2 Juggs and this one, but I can vouch that Juggs had excellent GPS. It was used daily on my husband's SGS2 for his tech routes for work flawlessly. Since I flashed this rom he hasn't been able to use GPS at all and has gone on approx with cell towers. With time frames he can't wait for the GPS to load. Hoping that whenever he official T-Mo release comes about that it will make finding the GPS problem easier for the devs as I would like him to keep this rom. Juggs was draining the battery like crazy even with everything turned off or as low (brightness) as can be.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The K-Zoo Kid:
I tried searching, but I couldn't find anyone with the same problem as me and I don't know what to do.. I'm kind of freaking out. The last update I installed was beta02, and I was really liking it minus a few connection and call issues. Anyways, I was in my car earlier today and picked out a song on play music. The phone instantly turned off, and it appeared that it was about to reboot so I didn't think much about it. Nope. When it starts to turn on it rarely makes it past the samsung screens that pops up right when you start the phone, but it has made it as far as the swirling samsung s splash screen thing. It just acts like it is rebooting from that part and it's like a never ending cycle until I remove the battery. I've tried button combinations and plugging into the computer to try and get into recovery and download mode, but had no luck. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it, I really can't afford brick this phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
If your phone is boot looping its more or less not bricked. You need to get into recovery and flash the rom again. Hold down both volume buttons while powering on your device. Don't release until ur in recovery..

I just tried for well over 3 minutes... No luck. I have had boot loops before and this one is not like the others. It gets kind of far after a fresh battery pull, but after the first attempt fails it just starts vibrating every 3-4 seconds. I'm assuming this is the phone turning off and on rapidly.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shovelhead83:

Gentlemen,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRKotucs:
All I can say is that if you depend/rely on the gps is to go back to GB until it gets fixed for ICS. (please don't take it the wrong way)

This rom is pretty solid for a beta BUT it seems to have one little flaw which is the gps that a few people have been complaining about. TDJ is aware of it and he's also working on getting it fixed. We'll find out when the next update comes out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gatorstew:
That's voice signal strength you're seeing jump, but for the same reason. Bars have nothing to do with 4g. You want to test? Turn off data in your test area. You'll get the same results with your bars. With data off, what do you think those bars are for? Different coverage map (voice Vs data) so the bars can't be used for both...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
everyone's experience is different

but for me. This ROM is DD worthy. I don't have any problems with this build except my GPS isn't working for beta 6, but it did for beta 5... why? not sure.. lol. I'm thinking of reflashing... or just restoring my beta 5.

BETA 5 GPS for me locked on instantly. Not sure what happened with beta 6, but it seems to be a hit or miss for people.

the new TW launcher is FAST. ICS definitely seems to be snappier than GB.

Battery life is comparable to stock GB; however, it is a bit shorter than how I would normally configure my phone on GB with a custom kernel such as UV and Underclocking.

Only problems I've seen with this build is compass is flipped (I believe this is on all ATT builds), GPS is hit or miss, and the white text problem.

it is definitely worthy of a flash to see if you like it or not.

But is it a HUGE difference that many people expect it to be? not yet. I do love the new multitask interface though.

EDIT:

i just restarted the phone to recovery, ran another cache wipe, and GPS is working im indoors and its locking me at 30meters, pretty quickly too.

Not sure why the initial cache wipe that i usually do after a flash didn't work.. it could be because I started using GPS with maps (or tried to), which may have triggered something... and THEN i flashed the cache wipe and that fixed it... not sure.. just a theory.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jeimygirl:
Didn't take it the wrong way.

I actually rarely use GPS it's for the other phone I flashed. I know TDJ is aware of it and I've mentioned in the past that it's not a heavy weighing negative tat would make me want to switch and that whenever the official T-Mobile ICS comes out that hopefully it aids in finding out the cause of the GPS issue. But besides that and a few things here and there that you would expect when flashing a rom from a leak, I am very happy with it and applaud on the awesome work!

Hey gpc, I'll just add this and hope it's ok since it's also Derek's ROM. If your'e using a T-Mobile based phone the Evolution ROM Beta3 is also a great DD. I'm using it and everything works perfectly (except compass). Vibration feedback is strong, no call echo, GPS locks on fast and accurate (within 3 meters in Miami, FL), battery life if awesome, and no lag at all.
