Dismal data speeds

Greetings,

This is my first time trying CynaogenMod. Did a clean install with the 4/25 release last night and I LOVE IT ... I never want to go back to TW, but for one thing ... my data speeds are just unacceptable. I have tried every ICS modem, and also EL29, nothing changes.

On 4g, I am getting < 1Mbps DL ... and my UL has been faster ... like maybe 1.5Mbps

On 3g, the performance is a little better ... ~1Mbps Up and down.

At my location with the FK23 modem on TW, I get ~10Mbps in ideal conditions, but never less than 4 or 5.

On wifi, data speeds are fine ... I'm hitting my ISP limit.

I've done some googling, but it's really hard to find a good query to get me the information I need, and much of what I find seems like snake-oil anyway. Is anybody else having data speed issues? Anybody had issues and resolved them? How?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ChrisAstro:
Great news! Photosphere works on the new rom! YAY :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Which gapps did you flash? I've seen reports of this with either the wrong gapps or a bad download of gapps.

If you're having slow speeds just use free download manager. I'm getting super max speeds on downloads...or at least max possible. Usually just under 1.5Mbps when I usually do 64Kbps

hey guys, hate asking but who has a working photosphere zip? the ones i use just force close...

Welcome to aosp. That's the sacrifice you gotta make to run proper android. I heard tell of sprint 4g in a distant land, whispers in the wind. But it's all just legend to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] romgnascher:
Really? <500kbps is considered "working" 4g in AOSP? If that's the case, it really should be dropped from the OP, because 4G that's slower than 3g isn't "working". Even my 3g speeds are sub-par.

That's kind of a bummer.

Well, if that's the case ... as nice as this ROM is, it's a show-stopper if the data speeds are going to be so slow as to be useless. I guess I'll have to go back to my nandroid :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
You can surf the web with 4G right? Then it works. Yeah.. It may not be as fast as you want it to be. But it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
I consistently get between 5-10 Mbps down on 4G (as high as 11 sometimes). It is not this specific ROM's fault.

This has been reported on CM9, CM10, and CM10.1. Some people have issues like you, some don't. It hasn't been narrowed down as far as I have seen - one theory is it could be hardware differences in phone releases that pop up on AOSP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] romgnascher:
Hmmm ... that's kind of a stretch.

4G is supposed to be > 3G.

If 4G < 3G, then 4G is not working. Ok, fine ... it connects to something and trickles in a slow stream of data. That's not working.

I mean ... I'm consistently getting between 400 and 600 kbps. That's pathetic.

That's like saying your car is working if the motor runs, but you can't get it going down the street faster than a walking pace. Most would consider that "broken".

Anyway ... guess I'll just have to watch for a while longer. Hopefully this one will be solved, but until then, CM can't be anything more than a novelty. It's really a shame ... liked it a lot otherwise. Fast, smooth and seemingly stable, but if I can't get data at a reasonable rate, it's not ready for prime-time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Comparing a car to data speeds is not a good analogy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
Unfortunately it's not that cut and dry. Some people have ok speed and others don't. Nobody knows why for sure though some suspect the modem firmware combined with certain areas. For example I'm one of the lucky ones, in the Atlanta metro area I usually get 1 to 4 mbps on 4G, and I've not done anything special at all. I flash the rom, gapps and the gps mod from exitonly. That's it. I'm still using the fi27 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Yep - I'm on FI25 in Nashville. I posted my speeds a post or 2 before. No issues for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] romgnascher:
If I could get 1-4Mbps, I'd be OK with that. That's what folks got on custom TW roms under ICS. I tried all the different modems back to EL29 with no joy.

I live just outside Boston, with good 4G connectivity in my house ... pretty much prime real-estate as far as 4G speeds go.

I'd live without 4G if the 3G was solid ... but even that barely scrapes 1Mbps ... and the upload speed is FASTER ... on both 3G and 4G ... very, very strange.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] papertown11:
hey

happy to say new rom is running flawlessly ran it thought the ringer yesterday and today so far no problems no echo complaints. speed when downloading on wifi is 8 Megs down thats 8000KB and 3000KB up and 4g is standard 400-600k down cheers dastin your one amazing sob i cant wait for the jb modems

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neatchee:
Hey guys,

I'm still experiencing echo during calls (other people can hear themselves) on 4/25 build.

This is a dirty flash, 3/18 -> 4/18 -> 4/25. Echo began with the 4/18 flash.

I have tried toggling the Noise Suppression option to no avail.

Are there any steps I can take to fix this before I wipe and reflash?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zimlokks:
i recommend uploading to d-h.st for now.

i strongly recommend a full wipe at the moment, even tho CM is designed not to wipe between flashes, its always highly recommend yu do. i Wipe at least once a month(either between stable builds or nightly builds.)

Flowed Away From My Samsung GS2 E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Yep I agree - When in doubt, full wipe. I did that coming to 4/25 as I was coming from 3/25. But with enough people reporting echo is fixed, if someone (like neatchee) still has echo after a dirty flash, they should clean flash/full wipe.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

There was a separate camera only zip floating around in this thread before. That's what I use. Gives you two cameras, but allows you to still have working video and CM features on the normal camera, and use the second camera for photosphere only.

Edit: Here's a post i posted before - links to the patched camera I use for photosphere only (other bonus is it fixes picasa sync for the gallery). Downside is you have 2 camera and 2 gallery apps, but that's not been a big deal for me. I don't want to lose working video.

I'm on Build April 18th And I'm currently downloading the April 27th Nightly , Should I dirty Flash the New Updates or Should I clean Flash ? ... I'm Just Wondering since in the Changelog Theres New Coding ) JDQ39E ( And Kernel: revert mic swap, patch to Linux 3.0.40

I wan't to do a dirty flash but would the new fixes be applied if I did so without ****ing up things????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Some people are reporting issues after dirty flashing (echo still exists in calls). Clean flashing has fixed it for those people as far as I can tell.

I clean flashed to 4/25 build and have no issues.

Dastin, amazing work!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
yeah, i meant to mention before - i use official gapps (not a special package), and only flash that camera zip after flashing rom and gapps. never had an issue and i've been running this build from the beginning.

You do need to reflash the camera zip after every upgrade, though (even dirty flashes where you don't reflash gapps). just something to remember, but not a big deal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zimlokks:
for some odd reason, i had to remove the stock camera? it works great gyro is fixed and well photosphere is wonderful!(first time i ever used it :D)

Flowed Away From My Samsung GS2 E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
weird, never had to remove stock. Just flashed the camera zip in recovery and ended up with 2 camera apps.

i would assume the video recording is busted on the single camera you have now if you had to remove stock. Probably no recording in 720 or 1080, and 480 playback will be messed up. You also won't have HDR (if that matters to you) or the other CM camera features.

So if that is important to you, you may need to clean flash the latest build, official gapps, and the camera zip to get the 2 cameras.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zimlokks:
ill add stock right now and test,

I'd be really interested in hearing definitively whether those still having echo problems are being solved by a clean install. I'm still sitting on the 2/15 build waiting for a few of the lingering bugs to get worked out. Thanks to those posting feedback.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
I can confirm being on 4/25 with no echo. Coming from 2/15 you should absolutely full wipe anyway due to numerous kernel changes.

Now that echo is gone and photosphere gyro works as it should, this ROM is bug-free for me (I don't use dock).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Phobophobia:
I clean flashed from a much older build (mid-February) to 4/17, and then dirty flashed to 4/25. On both builds, I have a problem where either opening the camera app or turning on the torch will have about a 50% chance of crashing ("Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped" on camera, and the torch just not turning on). I had this problem on the old build as well, but on that build it would let me just try again a couple times until it worked. On the newer builds, when it crashes in this way, it reboots the phone entirely (SGS2 load screen, CM logo, and reinitializing wifi/3g and everything else). It's a pretty major pain, and annoying enough that I'm tempted to try other ROMS to see if it's specific to WFTN. Is anyone else having the same issue?

I wouldn't say there would be a big impact, but you will definitely lose more battery when it's on. I personally just turn it off since I have no real use for it yet.

And to change the DPI (not PPI) and have the launcher not force close, you need to go into settings -> apps and clear the app data for trebuchet after changing the DPI.
