what set up you think is the best to increase data speeds? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know data speeds depends on your carrier but what set up of ROM, modem, radio, or anything you think is the best to increase my crappy speeds. Here is an example of my set up and my speeds.
Thanks
Mario

My guesses that it depends on:
How your device, specifically, interacts with the currently used modem;
Your CPU settings, if you changed them from stock;
Your proximity to the tower;
Your signal (dBm) strength;
The strain on the tower/network at the time; and,
Removing the Sprint proxy couldn't hurt either.
I would imagine that undervolting and underclocking your device would be counter-productive in this case, but that's just an assumption.
Your question is borderline the same as all the other: "What's the best [ROM/kernel/CPU settings/setup]?" Each phone performs differently to kernels. modems & custom ROMs. So why don't you try a few and see what best fits your device based on your desired outcome.

Nobdy here will go to the epic touch most are waiting for quad core lte phones
Just as a tip if you look in the android development and hacking find the v6script and scroll down to the 3g turbocharger this will help you A lot I usually only get .60 mbs with 1-3 bars but am currently getting 1.5-1.8 mbs with the script.

Find the 3G Turbocharger RC 2 find script manager and find where that .txt was saved.
Make sure you run as root which is the su icon make sure that's green and then run it. Number 5 is what I use but test em all via speedtest.net mobile and make sure you run a test first then do the script then reboot and test each one. Make sure to reboot after each time you choose one

I just flashed an EC05 ROM over the GB ROM; I don't use Odin unless I have to.
As long as your EXT4 its no issue.
you can use eh17 modem on ec05- if that is what is being asked. the gb leaks have too many issues (FC) for some people to use on their daily phones.

I've posted in the wrong section once -- not because I was oblivious to which sections to post things, but because I genuinely believed that was the correct location to post to. In such a situation, one should be apologetic rather than defensive. I think it borders on ungratefulness for someone with 120 posts (and therefore probably knows what chris has done for the scene) to call him an @hole.

With the impending release of the MTD version of CM7 utilizing YAFFS2 format, CM9 will be a real possibility for the Epic, although probably a ways out. CM7 is coming along nicely, but still not officially supported, so I assume it will be a while. QBKing77 posted a video in General about the MTD/YAFFS2 file system and the benefits....More to come...

Those items are notated in the CM7 thread in our dev forum as having known issues. You, as an well informed/read user of CM7, should go into flashing this rom knowing those listed features will not work 100%--if at all.

Full wipe.

Hi guys. So my girlfriend dropped her iPhone 4s and smashed the screen to hell. Cough cough. Lol. Anyway I'm thinking I'm going to let her just have my epic touch. So I used triangle away app and also did a full stock restore. I'm wondering though could Sprint ever tell I had it rooted and had custom kernels before or should we be all set? Don't ask me why but she wants nothing to do with root. I gotta try to get you guys a pic of that phone though. It's pretty bad. Thanks.

I can honestly tell you that it is now an issue. Until we see things changed with the DCMA, it's now fair game to question all devices again, regardless of age. That's the way it's being handled.
I have sent a subject related question to our FSM's here for them to talk and discuss, while MSL obtaining talk is still OK, you have every reason to be concerned on what tech may look at. We have a few tech's in this forum who can speak better to what the directives are now on their level, but I do know that initial reps and managers have been instructed to pay more attention.
TL;DR - I know this is off topic from your op, but you're right to be concerned.
