I'm in the Portland, Oregon area community of Vancouver, WA. Leaked ICS T-Mobile SII based Modem - Down 4-7, up .5 to 1.5

I've been using every ICS radio I can get my hands on and have been greatly confused.

I have tried nearly every Note ROM, with the exception of the two 6-1 offerings. I'm currently on team insomnia presents juggernaut 5/31/12 which is a quick and reasonably compete ROM...it meets my needs anyway.

I've noticed for several weeks my wifi performance is poor. While the radios performing best for me are in jeets thread (Leaked ICS T-Mobile SII based Modem), wifi, no matter the ROM or radio, wifi is poor.

I did a bit of research, finding wifi fixer off the market to be an excellent tool to finally regain my wifi speed.

I tested my wifi with two laptops, getting better than 10M/bps burst on each.

I hope this helps, and as I move along to other ROMs, which is my routine, I'll post my findings on each.

---------- Post added 2nd June 2012 at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was 1st June 2012 at 11:46 PM ----------

An added note: While searching for remedies to the slow daya speeds, I came across 3g/4g optimizer. Since downloading, I noticed quicker web page loading. I did a couple of speedtests and found my speeds consistent from 6 to 7 DL, 1.5 to 2 UL. Two tests, reboot, two tests. Honestly my bandwidth has never been very consistent, so I'm hoping this is a reliable tool.

Just to let everyone know who may be looking for something else to try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ballu84:
Three letters-OMG. My speed increased by three folds with the 3g/4g optimizer. using it with jeets ics blaze. Can't thank you enough for that!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
3g/4g optimizer locked up my phone. I installed it via my computer, After it installed on the phone over the air, it refused to turn on, screen on, nothing. I had to 3 button into CWM and restore my recovery I did last nite. That was good on my part!!! I had just reinstalled the rom freshly wiped and set up fresh. So if you are gonna try this app, make sure you have a good nandroid back up.

******************************

TAke 2. After I reset up my phone, Market installed this over the air AGAIN! Couldn't stop it. But this time I was running speed test and for some reason, installation went fine this time. When you go to alter speeds, you get a pop up stating hspa or lte is not supported, but 3g phones are- are you sure you want to do this????Makes you think it's gonna have a bad effect. Since I am on tmo's 3g network, I went ahead and applied the change to increase upload speeds. You have to reboot before it takes affect, so that's what I am doing now.

I set increased upload speeds. Ran speed test 5 times. It increased DL significantly- from 5-6 to 8-10, but increased UL marginally. went from .2-.3, to .4-.5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adiprince1:
Can some one please help me? When I use these or any other radios with ics roms such as cm9 etc I can't connect to 1700 aws band . the message keeps popping up search network manually. I did *#2263# and selected 1700 wmcda but that message keep popping as soon as I put Rogers or at&t Sim card and search for network , it works but wind mobile which uses 1700mhz it doesn't work. only way I can get 1700mhz when I flash back to gingerbread ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jdmadonna:
Silly question... does this method require just root access and cwm or do you need to be fully unlocked at sim level?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tspx23:
you need root.

EDIT: I recommend not to use Odin for anything flash related unless you have a recovery installed. Bricked a phone while updating once -.-
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
To use any other carrier other than straight talk you must be sim unlocked. To use tmo or any of their mvno partners, sim unlock and use a tmo radio here in these threads. There are several for GB and ICS.

Straight talk allows any locked ATT or TMo phones to work on their network with the specific sim that they sell. You just have to get the proper one for your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] audscott:
Here's a nice tutorial: http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...e-3g4g-hspa-on-your-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717/

At the end it suggests you can force the phone to HSPA Only mode if you can't get full 3G/4G HSPA+ on Wind Mobility.

The article also suggests forcing *#2263# isn't necessary, as the modems will automatically set the bands accordingly.

Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jdmadonna:
Where are you guys aquiring the unlock code from... Att wants to be tight and not give them to me??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adiprince1:
Hi thanks for the help but I can only use my phone on ginger bread with this method. When I upgrade to ics the phone doesn't work on aws even after flashing ics base modem. It used to work but not anymore I have to stick to GB to use my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
I used cellunlocker.net. Around $25. Very reliable for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ballu84:
Youre applying the wrong change. Click normal then theres gonna be a dropdown menu. Select fast 4g from that list and wait till it says changes will take effect after reboot. Reboot and enjoy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fresh2Death:
say it aint so! ive been searching for a way to get off of these gingerbread roms but it seems us tmobile users are are locked down to a lower level. im actually starting to think about sending my phone back and just waiting for tmobile to officially release this due to not having any luck with all of the beautiful roms that are available. only one that gives 4g is gingerbread :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tspx23:
i'm confused you flashed this radio on a gingerbread rom and it worked?

also, your not getting hspa on ics roms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fresh2Death:
ive only managed to get edge on ics, if that. now, for some reason, i dont receive any signal for what reason i dont know. but everything works on Saurom. i just wish i could get away from the gingerbread and on to the prettier things.

*edit* oh im sorry, no. i tried using this on TheOnlyOne Rom and didnt get any signal. i tried other radios on ics and to no avail. i had to go back to saurom in the end. going to try again now.

*edit 2* got it working! THX!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vicious Von:
would any of these modems work with my simple mobile service?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
Well, thanks for that. I guess I need to go back and re-read! I follow your instructions, and for some reason, the change does not stick after reboot- it reverts back to normal, not the fast normal 4g set. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I choose the fast from the dropdown menu, I hit apply tweak, super user grants permissions, it says changes will affect after reboot. I reboot, and it comes up as default- normal, not fast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ballu84:
From what i gather, the changes have been made. Its the same on my end.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
Thanks for the reply. I wish I could say this improves my UL speeds, but it doesn't. Still around .3 to .4. A good try though. Maybe things will improve when tmo's note is finally out and we can borrow their modem and whatever else we need. I really would like to be able to use voip for calls to back up my 100 min./month. I don't really use many minutes, but would like the ability to use voip with a good signal. I read you need at least .9 UL speed or better for reliable calls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ballu84:
How about you use this with the tin foil method cuz i read everyone saying that their upload speeds doubled at the very least
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
Already have that installed with some really nice alluminum tape. That brought me from .2 to .4 UL and improved my DL from 3-to 6-8 at times. The tape works much better than loose foil. So now it's just a waiting game till tmo releases their note. The good thing is I don't really rely on phone data- just nice to have when you do need it. I was still on ATT when my note found a lte spot and that was very sweet! In Staten Island. Where I live we don't have it yet.

I will gladly trade that for a better bill. I was on the family plan with ATT- total was $37 without taxes for 2GB data.(a 3rd line) Now it's the $30 tmo plan with 5gb 3g/4g speed, then unlimited at edge. A much better deal, and just the principle. My daughter tried a smart phone for 1 day to see if it was helpful for her, and ATT slapped a $30 data plan on her line. That's just not acceptable. When she switched back, I had to call in and get it straightened out, now have to wait for the bill to be fixed too. I can understand if it was a week, then text a warning, then add on if no reply. With the 4 lines we have, if everyone had a $30 data plan, our bill would be $260 plus all the taxes- probably closer to $300.- that's with 700Min and family messaging.

I wish I could talk everyone to go to straight talk-4 for $190. Unlimited. Iphone addictions! Contracts! Yuck!

Is it possible if you can upload the stock AT&T Radio please?:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MagicMan3:
The test on the very bottom was with the stock radio and was about the norm for all tests I had done previous to the ICS Blaze modem. This is on Bell Mobility in Alberta.

I might give the tinfoil trick a try tomorrow.

I'm on Simple Mobile, (they use the TMO antennas) I'm using Saurom 7.1 with Blaze Modem and works reasonably fair, 3MB d/l and 200 to 300kb's u/l
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dan.kels.r:
Great results here!

ICS rom [ROM/MOD][The Collective] Seraphim - Stratosphere, using the radio under option 1 on the first page of this thread (blaze) and its getting me even faster speeds than my galaxy nexus factory unlocked version. ICS rom + ICS modem radio are THE way to go here in virginia beach. I also ran the 3g/4g optimizer and set it to normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tri0xinn:
Anyone using these modems with Tmobile's Prepaid/4g plan? Would it be the same as there normal plan?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tspx23:
Update with telus radios coming this weekend. gonna do some more testing i think i can solve some of the issues people are having (although i still suspect either 1 - their phones aren't supported, 2 - they're not following the instructions 100%)

Also trying to make it so that it displays the modem info. I'll also pull the ATT radio from UCLE2 and post it here as well.

Glad to see that there's been a lot of success with these radios, and I think I can still make it better. If I get more time this month I'll be working on a MIUI port too, that is if I don't pick up the S3 :P.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ballu84:
DO NOT get the s3. pretty plz :D

yes i am on tmo's prepay setup. i pay for the 5gb cuz i have access to 5-10mb dowload speed everywhere i go in a normal week. also, i flashed the latest cm9 and it already had access to 4g baked in i guess. can pull 7 down 1 up consistantly on my at&t note. but yeah the pay as you go give you the same 4g access and speed as a contract

performance at full signal strength

Still seeing very poor performance at full signal strength.

I am using blaze modem on OnlyOne rom with 3g/4g tool.

At 1 or 2 bars of 4g I get reasonable speeds of over 3 mbps download/1mbps upload.

But any time I find myself outside very close to the tower - then connection is hardly usable (1 out of 5 small web pages loaded, yesterday nothing could be loaded).

We've seen that in tmobile from the start (supposedly due to voltage settings) and the same seems to apply to these modems. Also inside a building the signal strength goes down to Edge which is what happened with older modems too.

Anyone else's usage observations confirm what I've seen, or are you running great at full signal strength?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] soapbox23:
I can confirm the same. In my house (i live in NJ), I get 2-3 bars and my speeds are between 3-8mbps down and .1-.3mpbs up. At work (NYC/staten island) I get full bars but i average .5 down and .1 up. Running juggernaut AOKP, with SGII leak modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
download link for ics blaze is broken on both download options :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deliriousbb:
Haven't noticed this, but will try it out and see. I am using the same ROM. I flashed the same ROM over a few times with different setups and the oddest thing is, on the same ROM, one flash of the modem will be terrible, but the same modem flashed again a few more times and the signal becomes either usable or good. That is the only thing consistent with the modems, that if you keep flashing the same modem and testing it out, you may find the right formula to get it working. strangest thing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mnaderi:
very important info please read carefully

first of all thanks so much for you effort with these modem files. Many of us have had to wait months for this.

#1. install your flavor of ICS i'm using one. Clean install, whipe chache, delvic and battery. DO NOT INSTALL THE MODEM FILE

#2. get out of install mode CWM and let it load normally

#3. when fully loaded restart phone and go into CWM and install the modem file

#4. when in ICS on the numberpad type *#2263# and select cdma, 1700, 1700 then hit menu and select END

#5. then go into market and download a tool called Hiapn global

start the app, click "click to DNS check" hit yes, grant superuser permission

#6. go down and select WCDMA perfered, tun on IMS, Turn on SMS over IMS, turn on LTE dump, click refresh and update, and toggle DNS check.

#7. VERY IMPORTANT CLICK "TURN OFF ANTENNA" wait 20 seconds and hit it again to "TURN ON ANTENNA"

get out of the application and you should be good to go no matter what service you use, i'm on MOBILICITY in Surrey, BC, Canada.

Thanks i hope this helps you :)

Update 6/11/2012 12:45 : ok everything is working great with the blaze modem. one major issue if you are in a place with bad signal the manual searching message will pop up ever 1 second nonestop, no way to stop it so far. it will overlay every program and even games

My test showed the best one is KID_TEST

My carrier is T-Mobile and ICS using OnlyOne B4. I compared all of three, and it seems the fast the most stable one for me is KID_TEST. Download around 5MB and upload is around 1.4MB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deliriousbb:
Yes, I agree. I'm in the southern california area near san gabriel. I'm using OnlyOne B4, with a few mods (15 toggle, power menu) and KID ICS. I get around 6-9mbs dl and .5 - 2mbs up depending on location.

FYI, I had to flash the modem a few times to get this. Don't know why, but first 2 times I was stuck on EDGE speed wherever I went (I set it to WCDMA via dial pad *#2263#). It finally got it right and runs like a champ now. Hard to explain why I had to flash so many times for it to finally run at 4g or 3g speeds. Hope this gives hope and helps people out there that didn't have luck with good speeds. Keep trying.

Hello all. I am a tmo customer and Im rocking a sensation now but I want a Note soo bad. The question is how does your ex-at&t note perform as far as 3g-4g? And since tmo is getting a note that will get 4g is there any cons about getting at&t vs getting a tmo model here around July 11th or 17th?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wyldkard:
Wait for the tmo version if you don't mind the price. The 3g/4g speeds aren't that great. You have to play around with different radios to get a desent speed. No official WiFi calling on the ATT version.

Highly unlikely. The S3 uses a different SoC (the S4 Snapdragon). The Note uses S3 Snapdragon. The architecture is different thus will likely not work and possibly brick your S3

All 3 of these radios listed are T989...so wouldnt they all worked the same? Just uploaded by different people right? Or am I wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gwanatu:
No idea on your question but the signal strength is more down to T-Mobile's poor building penetration rates, which is why they've pushed Wi-Fi calling so hard these past 2 years.
