[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Man, modem not FULLY working still (PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU DISMISS ME]

I finally saw where you guys have talked about DC, so yeah dunno why it is not working for me. I am currently on the UVMC6 Radio. I am in the process of reading through those posts [sorry must have missed them somehow on prvious search], long story short; anyone had DC working with any modem, and if so which one might it work with with this ROM? I love the work as I have always enjoyed PA, and Lollipop finally seems to have the Android performance I've always been after [funny how it is soo much quicker and smoother than any version before it on this phone, and prolly any other], so I DO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK AND THE AVAILABILITY OF THIS ROM it kicks ass! :D

Ok so T-Mobile has been rolling out 4G like mad recently [they are under a big push for next couple years to I think roughly double the availability of 4G. Anyways in my area [Northeast corridor US] we have had access to what the icon displays as DC in Android. I have not investigated in depth what exactly this is and all, but it is above H+ and I believe the FULL implementation of T-Mobile's 4G. Whenever I install any Lollipop ROM it seems to have issues with this and I always get the ! whenever it attempts to jump up and grab this speed [as soon as it drops back to H+ I get my data back and everything works as expected]. I wish I knew more about Android hardware and driver coding to be able to look in to this further myself, but alas I have too many things always going on to get in to it. I can deal with H+ only, but before when set to 3G it never limited itself to H+ and below it always seems to stay in LTE even though the device setting shows 3G in Mobile Network settings. Of course I would love to have DC in Android, but H+ is fast enough that combined with the system performance boost you get with Lollipop I would rather be stuck to H+ rather than drop back.

I am at home and currently it can do DC rarely but not nearly as much as when I am at work [only 15m away go figure], so until tomorrow I can not fully test this, but when I set Mobile Data to LTE I saw the ! once since install of Alpha 2. It LOOKS LIKE since I set it back to 3G only and took it off the LTE APN it seems to be staying with H+ and not trying to jump up. Tomorrow when I am working I will see what happens there and will report back.

I am unsure if anyone can look in to this, but as I said even though I am a Super User [been on computers since birth and can even do some ROM and app coding in Android so I am pretty adept at the use of Android and getting things to work or finding a work around [so long as it does not require something like disassembling system framework and editing it blind and reassembling or something along those same lines]].

I also have not yet looked in to the modem threads again as I know I have already tried the what is it the Blaze modem that is out there in the Radios thread which is newer but still compatible with the T989? Forgive me if I am wrong, but you should know what I mean at least from that info.

As I said things do seem much more stable than they were on Alpha 1 in regards to the modem soo far [I have left my Wi-Fi off and been using mobile data to install apps after flashing earlier today]. I at least was able to get the re-partitioning done so I have more space in /data which will be sweet not to get low memory warnings after installing only a few apps [I will have to look in to using PIT Magic as the System partition needs a slight shot in the arm to avoid issues as well, but it is set with GApps installed so really it can wait].

If there are any logs anyone would like to review or any other information I might be able to provide/clarify I would be more than happy to go through the paces and help a developer who is more capable than I and hopefully able to address the Modem issue with not connecting to DC [again that's the icon Android uses in all versions up to 5 [dunno if they may have changed it for lollipop, but I doubt it]]. I would even be happy to donate someone a few bucks to buy a 12 pack or something for helping in figuring this out and getting it addressed :D.

Thanks for your time and attention in advance ...
