[Q] Enabling HSUPA on i9020a, ATT

I'm at a loss. I just got a new Nexus S i9020A for ATT, and have discovered that it is not HSUPA enabled. It is consistently 1.8 - 3.0Mbps down (normal for my area) and a MAX of 280 - 300kbps UP.
I've tried adding the ro.ril statements to build.prop as suggested in other Nexus S threads, rebooted 2 times and one more just for good measure, and HSUPA is still not flying.
Also the latency is notably higher than my Atrix was, and my friends rooted captivate w/ custom radio + hsupa.
Any info would be great.
Phone info:
Nexus S I9020A
Rom: Stock, GTJ61 2.3.4
Baseband: I9020AUCKE1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-ge382d80

ok I hate when I post then find something, but its not DIRECTLY pointing to enabling HSUPA, so I figured I'd post here.. if any one has a thread I missed that is directly addressing HSUPA on the i9020A for ATT, please feel free to chime in and shut me up.
I've got HSUPA enabled.. Heres what I did..
I assumed that any ATT baseband would be crippled as the captivate is.. So I tried something.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
I downloaded and flashed: I9020XXKD1 baseband..
So far, its working great. the 850 bands SEEM to be enabled, although the tower I am currently on i don't know its scrambling codes / site id for primary (850mhz) and secondary (1900mhz) carriers thats visible in 4636...
I'm waiting on my Micro Cell to fire up and if it connects, 850 is operating.
Will post results..
Side note: build.prop edits are still present from other threads, including hsxpa=3 amount others.

What did you ever find out? I am considering leaving my Atrix for a i9020a and am a bit concerned with slow NS data...

[Q] Inspire in use on Viaero Wireless

Ok, I have searched here and elsewhere for info on Viaero Wireless settings and recommendations, but have really found nothing even close to complete or answering a couple questions I have. So I am here to ask a question and also give my experience.
The question I have is about the Radio/RIL. This is an area I have never delved into before, but with Viaero has always been a bone of contention. None of the HTC phones I have had have ever gotten great reception, especially in my work atmosphere (steel building). So I am wondering if anybody else on here is with Viaero has the Inspire and has played with any different radios and if so what they found to work with this network? I know I should try this out on my own. But this site is built off helping each other out by sharing, so why not look here first before trying to reinvent the wheel?!?
As for Experience, I have been with Viaero for about three years and used an HTC Fuze, Pure, and now the Inspire. I have rooted them all and ran a modded ROM on everything. Including bricking the Pure to total uselessness... Anyway I wanted to share my APN settings for the Inspire as an example of what works on this network. By the way currently running Absolution (bad flash)...
APN 1:
Name: Viaero
APN: internet.vedge.com
APN type: default
APN 2:
Name: Viaero mms
APN: mms
MMSC: h**p://mms.viaero.com (that's http...)
MMS proxy: 10.168.3.23
MMS port: 9401
APN type: mms
Anything not listed is left at "not set". This setup works perfectly in my area for data and MMS. This took a lot of testing with the different settings listed here and elsewhere. So hopefully someone else finds this and can use it.

It's best to just test them yourself or use whatever is recommended by the dev. There really aren't a whole lot of radios for the inspire. The radio hardware is made to work on a certain frequency so basically the only difference between what you have and what att users have, is the strength/integrity of the signal that you have access to. Att has its coverage areas for the majority if its users well saturated. I have never heard of your carrier but I'm guessing they don't have the resources to supply as many towers as att does. Check out the radio thread, it just got overhauled today so if you want to test, its all accurate.

[Q] i9020a on AT&T gets only 70Kbps

I recently got a used i9020a for AT&T and for some reason it continually drops its data connection. I immediately put Koush's latest CM9 release on it, I am not sure I even have stock firmware for it (got it used with other custom ROM on it). The bars do not drop, the bars stay at full connection, but the data completely halts to and from the phone it seems like. I cannot even download a 2MB file without it stopping half way. Then after a minute or two, the data connection will come back only to drop again.
It basically makes the phone entirely unusable.
It is using my iPhone 4S SIM card (I would like to switch between phones).
I tried to run a speedtest.net speediest, and here are my abysmal results:
Code:
Ping: 1333ms
Download: 77kbps
Upload: 10kbps
What??????
I am running Koush's latest CM9 release:
Code:
Network: AT&T
Mobile network type: HSDPA:9
Baseband version: i9020xxkb3
My APN is setup as:
Code:
Name: ATT
APN: wap.cingular
Username: [email protected]
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
Does anyone know what is going on here?
EDIT: tried a second ROM, still the same speed issue.

More then likely a different radio would help this.. Check stickys in dev thread for a list and how tos.. May even be something with the phone too?

Thanks, bud. I flashed Radio UCKF1 and that has me up to 1Mbps down and 200Kbps up. Gives me hope it's not a hardware problem. I will try different radios now. Thanks for your response.
EDIT: Beautiful, with this tweak I now have 3.5Mbps down and 300Kbps up. That's just about on-par with my iPhone 4S. thanks again.

How did you use an iPhone SIM card to your Nexus S ? iphone SIM is a mini-SIM !!! Nexus S uses the full size (classic SIM) !!!

Hi.
With Gingerbread and radio XXKF1 the data connection worked very fine.
After I updated at ICS (wipe and flash the rom) with XXKI1, the data connection is slower than with XXKF1: why?
Sometimes it don't connect.
It is a i9023 with ICS stock, unlocked and rooted.
Thanks.
Bye!

It works very fine now.
Maybe there were some problem with the antenna in my zone.
Bye!

[Q] My 3G/4G speeds are better during a phone call using T-mobile. Any reasons why?

I just started using the Skyrocket and I am on T-mobile. It runs well, thanks to everyone in the xda community. But, I've noticed something weird where my speeds perform much better when I am on a phone call than when I'm not.
So I'm basically asking:
What happens when I am on a phone call? (Uses 1900Mhz band? More/less power going into radio?)
What can I do or what app can I use to utilize/turn on what happens during a call while I use the internet?
I have attached photos of this (Juggernaut 5.0, faux 10u, KID radio). I have tried various radios and ran the test numerous times each. It should be a consistent result.
Combos I have tried:
ROM: Juggernaut 5.0, sky-ics
Kernel: faux 9m&u ,10m&u
Radio: KID, VLK1, KJ3, LB7 (Blaze)
APN: wap, epc, internet2/3
Isolated 2g and 3g/4g
EDIT: I apologize, I meant to put this in Q&A, at least I thought I did. Moderators please move it as you see fit. Thanks.

bump. i'd like to know if anyone has any insight to this.

Rogers HTC One X Unlocked on Telus Network

I picked up the HTC One X from rogers on the 19th and unlocked it and set it up with telus.
I'm looking for anyone else who may have done this cause I have a few questions
When I'm in an LTE area my phone will switch to the LTE network no problem but my download speeds are only about 9mbps I know with my HTC Amaze on the HSPA+ I would be able to get around 16mbps download.
Is this just something with Telus LTE network being fairly new? has anyone else got any faster speeds on LTE?
Other than that and the non-removable battery this phone is the bomb I love it not to sure how i'm going to be able to get by with out being able to swap the battery but I'm going to try. I had 3 extra batteries with my Amaze lol.

Just out of curiosity, how did you go about unlocking it? I have had some trouble getting unlock codes for the one I bought. Any help you can give would be great, thanks!

MobileInCanada has unlock codes for the Rogers One X. I haven't unlocked mine, but I have used them in the past, and they've always been reliable. Codes for Rogers phones do tend to be a bit slow to come through them though.

I unlocked my Rogers HTC One X using Cellunlocker, it was ~$8 which is the cheapest I have seen. It took about 2 hours to get the code in the email.

Thats who I also used I've used them in the past and they have always been the cheapest and fastest.

I also used Cellunlocker. Only took 20 minutes to get my code by email!
Here are my LTE results on Telus:

I've been so impressed with this phone I swore I wouldn't mess with it but it's an addiction. Thanks for site name. Good to know a site that has been used successfully before. Hoping for a MIUI rom soon.

Telus HSPA is 2x Faster than Rogers ...

Keep in mind that the HSPA speed on Telus is rated at 42Mbps, while the same on Rogers is 1/2 the speed, or 21Mbps. This is probably why your speed is much slower.
Make sure your APN information is correct, too.
Peter
P.S. I used http://www.cellunlockcode.com/ (cell unlock code) to unlock mine. Like others, it took a few hours. Cost was $12

I've also unlocked my device for Telus network. I got 14Mbps once but average around 9Mbps as well. I don't get consistent LTE 4G coverage however and mostly receive HSPA+ 4g.

Just verifying that if I pick up this Rogers HTC ONE X - I'll be able to use it on AT&T's LTE network once I unlock it, yes?
I called Rogers and the guy told me the phone was the Quad Core version and that it may or may not support AT&T's LTE

The Rogers rep you spoke to is incorrect. The Rogers version is indeed the same LTE version those in the USA will be getting and will work on AT&T given you unlock, get the right SIM, and set up your apn respectively.
I believe there are other members that currently do this.

Just an update on this after further investigation I found that for some reason when the phone shows 4g its actually connected to the hspa network and when the phone shows LTE it is actually only hspda+ network that it's connected to. I'm not sure why it's like this but for some reason the phone won't connect to the telus LTE network.
The specs for the phone show that it should be able to connect to the telus LTE network but I have also read somewhere that rogers might have disabled part of the radio that wasn't being used on there network. Maybe once we get s-off and can flash different radios this will be fixed

Did anyone figure out how to fix this issue? i have a rogers htc one x that i am using on telus network, and my phone always shows 4G, i've never seen the LTE.

Are you sure you're in an LTE covered area? If you are make sure you input the telus HSPA+&LTE apn. Look for it on Google. I've seen LTE on my unlocked One X but only in Vancouver.

I'm also using an unlocked Rogers phone on Telus.
I've had trouble at first getting it to connect to the LTE network. When I changed the Network mode setting under Mobile data to GSM/CDMA/LTE auto, it wouldn't stick.
To fix this I changed the same setting in the info menu by dialing *#*#4636#*# --> Phone info --> Set preferred network mode --> GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto.
After doing this, I can use the regular menu to either turn on LTE or limit the phone to GSM/WCDMA.
This setting clearly works and when it says LTE I believe it is connected to the LTE network. However, my DL speeds seem to be capped at about 7-9 Mbps too. My UL speeds are around 20 Mbps. In 4G mode I get around 8/3 down/up.

Being on all the networks that we have in Canada.the highest LTE.speed I've seen so far is on Bell. 16mb per seconds and even lower speed with Telus or Rogers.
