Sorry sir but according to this article from last year you should already have hspa+42

http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/articles/hspa42-fact-sheet

Perhaps your'e in the same boat as me, being in a densely populated area

New record for me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Updated the thread title for you guys. Hope it helps to keep track of when I update with new releases. Didn't have room for the modem version and the date though. Just got too much stuff to sell!!! :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fadi33:
Thanks Doc, really do appreciate it. It will definitely make it easy to go the android development thread and scan the titles to see if there are any updates of roms, radio, mods, etc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
Glad I read ahead as I was just about to post my results from searching. Did not come up with anything as remotely detailed and on subject as that link you provided. Wish I could hit the thanks button twice in a row, "thanks+42", lol. No, I live out in the horse latitudes just past Parkrose in a usually "E" area. My biggest gripe is all the places I get "E" in Portland, even some places downtown surprisingly. These newer modems have been a little better however. I'm sticking with whichever one I'm on right now since JB is so close to release.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blink515:
How come you are using a server in Colorado? It's the one I use since i'm in the Denver area but I noticed your location is Los Angeles. The ping is what really caught my eye.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
That may still be the best hes found. Theres a server maybe 50mi from me, but I consistently get better speeds from other servers a few hundred miles away.

And ping can be deceiving. If you are on E when starting the test it may take a moment to jump to 4G, adding to your ping time. Haven't seen that in a while on mine, but I know thats how it always used to be for me up to a few weeks ago.

Averaging around 9 to 12 mb/s down and 1.5 up in Central jersey on most modems but on l5 I was getting 8.5-9 down with 3.5 up, is the upload really important for much? Or should I stick with higher download
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thsts really your call. If you do much uploading (such as pics to facebook) then you may be willing to sacrifice a few mb in download speed.

If not then try the faster downloading one and if you seem to have trouble connecting to anything then try the other.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
The modem firmware sits on it's own partition, just like recovery is on it's own partition, you can flash any modem you want (hopefully from recovery since you don't want to flash the firmware while the modem is in use, not sure if it works to dd in airplane more). It is specific firmware not just to the phone but to the carrier as well.

OP Updated! Videotron Modem Added

Just added the updated Videotron Modem to OP!

Baseband = VVLLH2

Thanks to htc fan89 for pulling the modem and testing the zip! :highfive:

If you flash this it will create a backup of your current modem. It should be on your internal sdcard. /sdcard/modem.backup

If someone could upload this modem.backup to a file sharing site and PM me the link, I can make the original baseband into a flashable zip.

I am still looking for these modems:

Videotron: VVLLE6

Mobilicity: VVLLE6 and VVLLH2

If you have either of these (check your baseband in Settings > About Phone) and would be willing to make a copy of it for me, I can post it here for all to use. Please send me a PM letting me know what your Carrier and current Baseband are and I will send you the instructions for how to pull the modem. Its pretty easy and doesn't take long. All you need is root and terminal emulator. Thanks!

Edit: I am once again searching for a new file host. Minus. com as of a few days ago changed a lot of things, including what file types you can upload to them. So now if it is not a media file, they will not host it. They used to be an awesome site, but are now worthless for my needs.

What are some good file hosting sites that you guys have used? I have one in mind, but am looking for suggestions still. Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fcortes626:
:eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Damn dude! Thats awesome! 28d 3.5u!

Also shows that ping times don't have much bearing on overall speed!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] StickyEyez:
See the post title is updated for sept 25th but I don't see a new modem?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Its the Videotron modem towards the bottom of the post. When I added it I figured people would see the "reason for edit" at the top. I forgot that doesn't show in the app. Sorry bout that.

Need more space for title!!

Ill figure something out.

Thanks for reminding me.

Ill probably just put something like "Latest Release____________" at the top of the post. Ill work on it though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dimon222:
Seems new Videotron modem works a bit better in 3G networks. Since my previous modem didn't even get any packets from 3G.

I use unlocked SGH-T999v by Mobilicity with Wind Mobile SIM.

That is backup of my previous VVLLE6 (Mobilicity)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7756779/modem.backup
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
That's been a nagging question for me ever since I bought this phone. I thought I'd be able to get T-Mobs 4G really HSPA+ of course, 3g and E. I only ever see 4G and E. Many poor signal areas in Portland. So I go from decent performance in an area of even one bar of 4G to my phone being crippled on E. On E it can barely do anything. Is there an error in my logic or should this be backwards compatible with 3G as well as E?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Awesome! Thanks man, ill get this out later tonight!

Thats because even if you truely are on the old 3G it will still show 4G. Kinda a bit of trickery really. (Hspa+ is actually considered 3.5G but since they can match 4G speeds they call it 4G. To my knowledge anyway)

Some roms (freegs3 being one) show what you are truely on, H or H+. But obviously they have to be modded to do so.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
OP Updated!

Added Mobilicity original modem.

Baseband = VVLLE6

Thanks to dimon for providing it!

And for those who may care, I have found a new file host for everything!

I will update all links probably tomorrow night. (ByeBye Minus!)

Need some sleep for now though.

Also added below title in first post the description of the most recent release/change.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] draconx:
hello guys,

so i have a t999 (tmo gs3) on straight talk which is using att's towers but i wanna keep my phone updated. im currently on

Baseband: UVLI2

but i would like to upgrade to the latest one (Baseband: UVLI8).. but will it lower/lessen my signal?.. right now im getting about -91 - -100ish.. and IF i upgrade. can i downgrade?

and most importantly.. i paid to have my phone unlocked. if upgrade will that unlock be gone?????
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dimon222:
draconx, you can easily flash any modem you want using this thread.

Just flash another modem via CWM.

Since modem is not related to firmware you'll not lose anything, except...

Be careful, wrong modem can finally break your network on phone, and you will be unable to connect to internet on your phone until you install correct modem.

So, you have to store backup copy of old modem.

Each rom in first post here saves backup, but only until you flash another rom 2nd time.

So it saves backu of prevous modem.

If you flash like Right->Wrong->Wrong. - Backup will contain wrong modem.

While Right->Right->Wrong. - Backup will containt wroking modem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nlarge:
i was getting horriple dwon times until I modded build.prop as Doc suggested. Now they have doubled my average speed..

FYI- some one had changed the name of the map so I reverted it back to what it was originally called :laugh::good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thanks! I'm not sure how to make that happen though. It would be cool though! :cool:

You can flash the modems freely, go back and forth as many times as you wish! I am not sure about how anything would affect the phones unlock status. I have seen it asked quite a few times with regard to flashing roms or ota's and usually it turns out to not be any issue at all. It would really surprise me if flashing a modem had any affect on that, but I cannot guarantee that it won't.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
OP Updated!

Added Mobilicity VLLH2 modem.

Thanks to clenh.

I have also moved all my files from Minus to beta.androidfilehost.com

Primary download link will be from here and the Mirror links will remain with dev-host.

Let me know how downloads work for you from the new host!

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krntehknik303:
How is the uvllh2 modem?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Its from the Mobilicity T999V Canadian variant.

Likely wont work on TMobile U.S.A. networks.

Would be good to get some feedback on those either way though.

Could you explain how and why build prop works?

Im in philly and its slowwww

Find these lines in build.prop and edit to match.

ro.ril.hsxpa=3

ro.ril.gprsclass=12
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
Really surprised this isn't stickied
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Heres links to information about the build.prop values I referred to earlier.

For your reading enjoyment!

HSDPA - ro.ril.hsdpa

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access

Available values listed in User Equipment (UE) Categories

HSUPA - ro.ril.hsupa

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Uplink_Packet_Access

Available values listed under Versions.

GPRSCLASS - ro.ril.gprsclass

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Packet_Radio_Service

Available values listed under Coding Schemes and Speeds / Multi-Slot Classes for GPRS

I will try to get these and more added into Post 3 later today along with more details and info. Depending on computer access though. (Mine is still down) its just a lot more than I want to mess with from my phone!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
HSXPA

hsxpa is harder to find good info. But this is how I understand it (going from memory, will verify later)

The 'x' is basically a variable for d (downlink) or u (uplink). It defines the type of technology the device is capable of using.

Available values are 0-3

0 - GPRS Only

1 - HSDPA

2 - HSUPA

3 - HSDPA/HSUPA

Remember I may be off a little with these. If any one remembers differently, or better yet has a good source of info on this, please share!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] belial20xx:

So confused :confused: i found then they already look just like that not sure what to edit to match if mine are the same to i leave them alone i just want overall unproved data speeds i only get around 8mbs upload and that's considered the best for me all the other modems just give me less I'm on the UVLH3 RUNNING 4.1.1....

HEY WIDLCHILD THANK U 4 BEING SO HELPFUL TO US...

when u say ADD do u mean like a copy and past of these props, or do u mean edit them, because at the bottom i do see the

#tweeks

ext.....

but right above do not see

ro.ril.hsxpa=3

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

but if i scroll up a bit i do see them and they are already set to that, but dont know if i need to past them above the

#tweeks

:confused::confused::confused:

BTW I'm on Frosty's JB ROM if that makes a difference, or if u need to know
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wildchld:
You can put them all at the end. Build.prop reads top to bottom so what ever is last sticks

Or just get my build.prop and push it to the phone and edit permissions. Mine hasn't changed much since I had my G2x, S2 and gnex works great on all of them. Of course every phone has its own quirks

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

Here's the easy way to edit

Copy the build.prop to your ext sdcard

Plug phone into your PC

Open up your ext sdcard and edit the prop in notetab++

Rename the org prop to build.prop org

Then copy the new one there

Fix permission to match old prop

Rrboot
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Also when you do it with Root Explorer, it will automatically make a Build.Prop.bak (backup of your oringinal). BUT, if you do something again, it will overwrite your back up with a new backup. So if you edit your Build.Prop, copy the backup to your Ext_SD or somewhere like that JIC.

If all else fails, make sure you have at the very least a nandroid that you can restore /system with.

Bad Build.Prop = no boot (unless you know how to push a good one with ADB)

Edit::: When you are done editing your Build.Prop don't forget to hit the menu button and press ---> SAVE otherwise you essentially did, well nothing.

Hey guys been a while. Houston is supposed to have HSPA+42 but anybody know where it is or know where I can find out? The coverage map on the tmobile site doesn't go into enough detail. I check my phone status and the best I can get is HSPA+15 driving I-10 from Katy to Downtown. Never seen it go to +42 the whole west part of Houston.

Not a huge deal but just curious where this mystery HSPA+42 is in Houston and nothing comes up on google.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
42 is theoretical. If you were the only user using it, and that you're sitting on top of the tower.. you'll probably get it. The actual top speed is more like half the theoretical plus a few.

If you had a 21 hspa phone... You wouldn't have even passed 10mbps on daily use. You probably max out at 11 which i have before... but that's like 4am in the morning lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lowlife546:
I know I'm not gonna be getting 42mbps but I'm saying under phone status where it shows ur connection it switches between umts3 and hspa15 all around the city but I never see it at hspa42.

I asked a guy at T-Mobile last week and he was just like "yeah it depends on where u live. U should get it. That's weird"
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
Oops sorry must have misread. Hmm never really noticed that, now I'm curious. Maybe there isn't a 21 and 42 network name yet so they just stick to 15 lol

Hey guys can someone please explain what exactly ping means and what does it stand for if it stands for anything:confused:

Love my FROSTY BEANS
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Basically it is the response time. Shorter is better. But with our phones ping times over 1200ms is normal and nothing to worry about.

When you ping a system you are sending a small data packet to that system requesting a response. So it measures how long it takes to receive that response. It is most often used for diagnosing network/connection problems.

You can find much more detailed/'better than I can explain', info on the web. Try Wikipedia or a million other sites too.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
So it was better indoors than outdoors?

I'm jk, but it is probably because you live closer to an at&t tower than you do a T-Mobile one. Since you're already in this thread... try flashing the radios

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] driftnut56:
"Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer. The name comes from active sonar terminology which sends a pulse of sound and listens for the echo to detect objects underwater. With computer operating systems Ping or PING stands for Packet INternet Groper but is ordinarily written as "ping" instead of the proper acronym for which it stands."
