I'm using CM7 (Neutrino's 2.8) and just switched from AT&T to straight talk to save half on my bill. Just curious if there are other straight talk users running CM7 and which radios you have used that provide the fastest data speeds?
I was using ATT radios N_01.77.30P and also tried N_01.100.00R and I'm getting about 2.5 / 1 mbps down/up.

It is also a question of what they have in place at the tower. Sounds like they have dual t1 (1544 x 2).

You can only guess, based on your test result, time of day and signal strength. Another useful measure is latency (ms). This gives a hint on the robustness and or congestion of the connection. Sub 100 ms is excellent. 500 ms and above is very poor.

I'm also interested in different radios for use with straight talk.
I'm using neutrino as well and have been getting horrible (IMO) speeds. Maybe its just because I am not getting H+ (hspa+) speeds on straight talk? I currently only get regular H (hspa). Do you have the same problem?
My speeds are attached.

Yes I do have the same problem and I haven't seen H+ on my phone. But can you even get H+ on the Atrix 4G? According to this, you can't.
From what I read, Straight Talk is compatible with HSPA+,

H+ symbol is rom specific. The absence of the symbol does not mean you are not getting hspa+. Check your mobile network type under About Phone. Also look at the Android service menu (Dial *#*#4636#*#*).

My Atrix came with the .30 radio. I've had no trouble with that radio but couldn't resist upgrading to .37. I really saw no real difference in my area, but as someone pointed out earlier it may be your area. I've read users upgrading like I did and it made a huge difference. I also read that users had better results using the .36 radio instead of .37. Your just going to have to experiment. By the way I'm on straight talk and using the Top Smart ROM.

Does the android menu (either about phone or *#*#4636#*#*) show hspa+ or just hspa? In my case it's just HSPA, i'm not sure if it's a ROM limitation ...

I don't think you'll ever see the +. 3g is umts, H is hspa (that's hsdpa and hsupa) , the + comes in when the back haul (connection from tower to mother ship) has high capacity, eg from 1 x t1 (1544 mbps) vs n x t1 ( n x 1544 mbps). I could be wrong though. But I can tell you that hspa is capable of speeds that you would not have believed possible (fact). I'll run some tests and see if I can clarify further. Hope this helps.

My wife and I both have the Atrix 4g on Straight Talk. I'm not allowed to touch her phone so it's stock. She does get H+ and at times it's actually faster than my DSL. Upgrading to cable this week, but anyway yeah H+ with the Atrix on Straight Talk is real... at least that's what her phone says.
I did do 3 speed tests. 1st was 1523 down and 915 up, 2nd was 953 down and 121 up and 3rd was 2157 down and 1088 up. All done at my desk within 4 minutes so it varies.

The numbers are what it is all about and thanks for posting. And I do need to research the + piece and where does this elusive + come in. Judging by those numbers, the connection from the tower back to the home base aka "the internet" isn't worth writing home about. That's a single t1. If you were posting 4000+ download then that would that would be another conversation. But, that said, hspa is capable of far higher speeds, but the back haul has to be in place. The number that makes the biggest difference, believe it or not, is latency. Anything less that 250ms is great. If you are getting 700ms+ then you'll "feel" it in responsiveness. I'd take 100 ms at 1000kbps compared to 700ms at 4000kbps any day of the week.
Example below:

Where I live in the sticks, I get 4g from the tower in the next county, but if I go into town (only a two stoplight town) the tower there is only capable of 2g. Yeah not even 3g, just one big E in my status bar. So I'm happy with the numbers I get at home even tho I mainly use Wi-Fi when home.

yes. I've been with 3 mobile about 4 years. With an sgs1 and now a sgs2.
4 years ago they were very patchy. Now I think they are the best uk network for price, customer support and network! I get high speed connection in all Towns now and in country areas when traveling if I lose 3 network my phone always connects to orange (g speeds only)

Yeah pretty pleased with 3 in general. Decent speeds when you can get them, but you do seem to hit a black spot every now and again (my flat being one of them!). Spend a fair bit of time in London and never been bad. Top download speed I recorded was just over 4 mbps, and that wasn't even in the centre of town. Not sure how good comparably that is though.

Cheers guys, sounds good. Giffgaff are fine but sometimes get hiccups like not getting Whatsapp messages and when switching to wifi they all fly in! Obviously due to o2's network.

What kind of speeds you getting with that, i'm thinking of the one plan considering you can get premium spotify for free with that as well and proper tethering.
Edit, just tried my dads three contract Sim and get H+ but speeds are shockingly bad down my area, GiffGaff/o2 beats it hands down here anyway.
Will borrow his sim one day and test it out and about.
Flashed the recommended modem, top 2 are giffgaff the rest three.

NEKF2 Modem
I'm in a small town in Northern Ireland and I get 1.5Mb up and down at all times of the day. In Belfast I get ~4Mb up and down on a H connection. They are reliable and have a roaming agreement with Orange/T-Mobile for places where it's hard to keep a 3g connection. I'd normally use 3-4GB a month (Google music and Spotify all day at work)... good luck getting that on any other network.
Does anyone know if the NEKF2 modem is the latest (it was posted last September)?

Have no idea about the modem. One thing I'm confused about though, I thought 3 had ceased their agreement to get a 2g connection with orange. If I don't have 3g/H+ then I don't get any signal full stop.
I left orange.about a year ago to swap to 3.
I have never seen a 2g signel on my phone even at home where i just get no signel at all...orange has great signel in my house shame..
I spent some time in Northwest Houston recently and my 3G connection acted awfully strange. If I opened settings, it would frequently say "disconnected" under mobile network and would not sync gmail, open web, etc. It would frequently try to connect and stay on for a short bit (very slow connection) but go away again quickly.
I updated profile, prl, rebooted multiple times, but finally just gave up while I was there. Most of the time this was happening, I had 4 or 5 bars of signal and could make phone calls without any issues whatsoever.
Is this a Sprint Network NW Houston issue or is this an EVO LTE issue?
I did switch the network to CDMA only hoping this would help and it made no difference.
from what ive been reading this is common for locations that are doing work on getting the LTE upgraded on that tower. Phone is not the issue. I have seen similar stuff around here in Boston. Could be a good sign i am thinking.

There was a 3G outage yesterday afternoon that caused all of Houston 3G to fail. It was fixed around 1400.
That's standard Houston as of late. It varies. The past few days have been better, but last week was awful. Couldn't hold a 3g connection at all. Probably related to the tower upgrades.

What APN is everyone using? The max speed I have seen on my galaxy s III is around 6mbps....never faster. I am currently using the "pta" apn for LTE devices (my other device is a galaxy note LTE).
Which apn should I be using to achieve the fastest speeds?
I have seen speeds go up to 9mbps on HSPA+ with my old galaxy nexus before, but I have never seen that with this device at the same exact location.
Is something preventing this phone from getting hspa+ speeds?
I would guess we are all using different APN as many many different networks in the world .

What version you are using ... If you are using international model then the speeds you are getting is good and you will not get LTE. If you are using ATT LTE version then you are in the wrong forum, there's a separate forum for US variants.

I get about 4-6mbps on my international GS3 on AT&T. One positive for me is the speeds seem to be more consistent than my GS2 in the same area.
I get about 5-6mbs in the UK using the stock settings.
Generally in states and Canada you'll see slower 3g speeds on average compared to nam version and gn. The reason some speculate is because nam version and possibly gn as well support hspa rev8 as opposed to international only up to hspa rev6.
In real life that translates on average speed in my city of 3-6 mps with i9300 although sometimes I can reach 12 mps at certain locations and time of day.
My i747m gives me average 8-11 mps in GTA and sometimes I can reach 14 mps.
Using Fido on Rogers network both on ltemobile.apn.
They both show same or very simmilar asu level holding them side by side when testing.
North American model is also quicker to reach max speed and stay there when testing, while international kinda ease itself staring from 1 mps then gradually half way into test reaching maximum.
This also translates into tethering speed limits when hooking one to another or using laptop.
Note all this is about hspa 3g and not about lte since my provider does not have lte yet and my sim card is 3g.

That should actually not happen... Fast dormancy is supposed to only kick in after some idle time.
At least that's what it does to my knowledge and what I've been able to piece together abut the functionality.
However I can confirm... on DXLF3 with FD I get 1.8Mbit/s Downstream while actually hitting 8Mbit/s with FastDormancy disabled.
I've confirmed the test several times in exactly the same location, always same result.
Well, seems that JuiceDefender's auto-toggle 2G/3G is finally gonna really pay of if Fast Dormancy is disabled

Hmm I just found something
very interesting.
Whenever the phone changes antenna or drops to 2G, upon restore of the HSPA+ connction I only get the same meagre 1.8 Mbit/s.
Rebooting the phone or toggling airplane mode will bring it back to 8 Mbit/s until the next time it changes.
From the behaviour it looks as if the phone could not go above the first hspa-stage when it's not a new connection. I'll try different modems tomorrow but I guess that's a software bug.
Additionally, altough I've disabled fd through the app and confirmed it being disabled in the database, the phone keeps going to RRC-State "idle" which is fast dormancy.
Interestingly enough my carrier is not even listed in the list sinc I'm on a custom rom.
Anybody knows a fix to either of both issues?
Especially the first is rather annoying.
I am on Fido in Canada. This is usually the speed I get.

locking HSPA+
to all!
i just want to ask before on gingerbread phones we can setup the internet by going to this settings *#301279# and *#279301#
now on our gs3 this option is gone... do anybody have an idea how to lock HSPA+ on gs3???
thanks in advance!
What do you mean "lock"? The phone will automatically select the highest possible transfer speed in active usage and may fallback to a slower one during Idle to preserve power.

Hmmm like before on my sg1 and galaxy w... also on my daughter's ace when i type on the phone dialer *#301279# there is an option to disabke hsupa and leave hsdpa open. And never have i seen the 3g logo on the location where im at before. Now on our sg3 i cant seem to access that switch anymore. So that's why im asking if there is an alternative code or a rom taht would give me that option.
Thanks for the feedback though
I sure do wish that I had some 4g wimax sometimes. This phone was suppose to have awesome 3g speeds but mostly it just sucks ass. What do ya'll think. Im in Plano Texas north of Dallas Texas. Really pissing me off. I think Sprint should go take out a loan and get LTE GOING.
3g sucks ass down here mostly but LTE is great, only going to get better as network vision continues. ive yet to read anything on this phone that said it was supposed to have awesome 3g speeds. a phone cant magically make sprints under capacitied 3g network suddenly great.

Before the phone came out they said that LTE 3g speeds would be faster than the 3g speeds we had before.
What would make this phones 3g speeds on this device any different from any other device? I mean a crappy network is a crappy network. If anything I think it has worse speed and reception than my photon. But that phones radios where awesome.

That my friend, is a Marketing tactic called False Advertising.
Sprint is working on upgrading their network. 3G speeds and coverage will get better as they continue their "Operation Leapfrog" aka "Network Vision" rollout. The EVO LTE cannot connect to WiMAX. LTE and WiMAX are two different 4G technologies.
Mines an EVO WiFi phone! I got the special edition with broken radios. I'm trading it in for a normal 4G LTE on Wednesday when they get a shipment in. Until then, I'm rocking a Samsung Exclaim!

They didn't say the phone would cause that, they said that their Network Vision upgrades would. Which they are still working on.

Absolutely NOT a marketing tactic...sorry but if you paid attention to only the part you wanted to, then that is your own fault....they never said the 3G speed of this particular device would be faster than other devices 3G speeds....
They said they are in the middle of rolling out nationwide network overhaul that in turn will vastly increase the 3G speeds in the troubled areas where capacity is an issue...
Change is coming and coming soon...ppl need to just quit complaining about the speeds and data issues at this point or just move onto another carrier...If they somehow dont hit their projected completion of NV rollouts of end of next year(which initially was set to 2015!!) then I can understand hearing complaints then...till then though.....nothing has changed in years so why complain now?...suck it up and deal with what we all already knew, or move on and enjoy your tiered data plan....

I dunno, It seems like 3G on my LTEVO sucks worse than normal. I just came from the GNEX and was getting respectable speeds (as respectable as sprint can get I guess) but right now I'm getting nothing above 20 Kilobytes/ps... I'm in Orlando, Fl so I'm hoping maybe they are working on showing us some LTE love right now to explain the recent drought in data.

3g speeds have been the same in the last two years.... Actually longer than that.. . It's been pretty crappy.
I had read that the WIFI issues were fixed with the latest OTA.
I am now getting 1000kbps up to 6000kbps on the Evo with "Best WIFI performance" selected, and the GS3 sitting right next to it gets 13,000kbps. My laptop also gets around 13,000kbps. I have gotten faster speeds on the Evo, but it is very inconsistent.
Also, web pages are still frequently reloading, where I had read that that issue had been solved too.
Hmmm. Anyone else?
After flashing the deodexed, rooted ROM including the latest OTA, I surpassed 50 MB for the first time ever, about 5-10 MB more than before the OTA, FYI

Michael, great speed. But is it consistent? I get 13 MB, then less than 1 MB, then 6 MB...
Meanwhile the other equipment on the same wireless router all have very consistent speeds, and much faster.
I hope this gets worked out because I LOVE the screen on this thing.
Also, do your web pages reload when you revisit them?
I'm not very familiar with speed tests, but could it be limited to the write speed of wherever it is being to? SD card?

It is very consistent. The first test seems to "prime" the wireless connection, and I only get 20-30 MB down and 5 MB up. However, after setting wireless to operate at 5 Ghz,, after the priming, I get 45-50 MB down and 7.5-10 MB up consistently. I have a Cisco wireless router that operates at 2 bands, so you might need to hard code the LTEVO wireless setting to 2.5 GHz, depending on the bands your router operates at. Try that!

Also, I don't have reloading issues on webpages, although very rarely I have to recycle the WiFi, with pages not loading. That is like 1-5% of the time.
Sent from my LTEVO via XDA Premium
Cloaker, we are using the speedtest.net app to test wifi speeds only - unrelated to the memory cards.
Michael - the 2.4 settings seems to have helped a bit. It might be more consistent now, but it's still only about 2/3 as fast as the GS3...
Also, do your web pages reload when you revisit them?
I have my router set to Wireless N only and I getting 35Mb down and 8-10Mb up on the regular.

So, when you have to recycle, is the wifi completely off?
Also, re: the browser: are you saying that if you have several tabs open in the browser, and you swap from one to the other, there is no couple second delay while it reloads?? Mine reloads the pages every time. Facebook, for example, will reload and leave me with whatever new entries have shown up. (the SG3 does not do this, the older entries are still there at the top until I refresh it manually.)

I've got a question. I have FiOS quantum speeds with speeds that are supposed to be 75 down and 35 up. I get around 20/20 with the speed test app. Is this post saying I'm not getting that high of speeds because of this phone? Verizon told me "We don't guarantee WiFi speeds". Is there something I can do to jack up my speeds? The router is Verizon supplied. Thanks.

xbmoyx, test it with a laptop and see if there is a difference.
That's weird,my 50mb p/s wifi connection tops out at 38mbps on my phone if I'm not mistaken
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
In my experience, I've always been limited to about 20 down, haven't had the chance to test a decent up speed. This has been true for every smartphone I've had.

My laptop was relatively the same as the phone. So there's nothing wrong with the phone but is there anything I can do to improve my WiFi?

Huh, how many devices have you tried? I would try at least two computers, if it stays that low, I would try turning off/unplugging your modern for a couple minutes, retesting, if that doesn't work, I'd call my ISP. That's pretty low actual speed, especially if you're paying for 75/35

Yeah. I've called Verizon and they made me reset my modem and it didn't fix the WiFi then they told me they don't guarantee WiFi speeds. I only have this phone and my laptop so I can't test another computer. I only get speeds that fast if I plug in my Ethernet cord to the laptop.

Well obviously a cell phone carrier isn't going to guarantee another company's speeds. Call the ISP who supplies your 75/35.
Edit: I just realized you said you get the proper speeds with a wired connection, do you know if your modern/router, whatever is broadcasting, is using Wireless N? Or is it using B/G?

The ISP is Verizon, I have FiOS. I'm looking at the back of the router right now and don't know what I'm looking at lol. They installed it. The picture is the back of it and nothing is on the front. (Please forgive the dust bunnies)

Since launch day I have been able to max out my wifi on 2.4ghz at around 22 down. On both a broadcom chipset router and an atheros chipset router. Never had the WiFi issue I hear people talk about. I never turned on the best performance thing as I hear it burns the battery like no tomorrow and never touched the band settings either.
