Anyone else having data problems around the state??? It is ****ty for sure.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Near Orlando and I just got 4kbps down, 60kbps up and a ping of 791ms with speedtest's Tampa server. I've also been messing around with my phone trying to get my PRI updated all day so it could be caused by that.
Just a few minutes ago I had to restore a nandroid because I was getting the error 67 / invalid login messages.
Edit: Just tried again and the speedtest app said my download speed was -0kbps, somehow I doubt that is accurate
Sounds like you are having some of the same problems I'm seeing in AZ. Sprint seems to be having issues.
Have had trouble with my 3G for about ten days now. Sarasota/Bradenton area. Sometimes it functions normally, sometimes I can't get a bare bones map from Google to download. I'm on Sprint's network and I suspect the slow 3G speeds may have to do with 4G testing going on around the state. I know Tampa just went hot and the 3G speeds up there were horrendous for about 2 weeks prior to the roll-out. Whatever problems they were having seem to have been sorted out. I was driving in Tampa on Monday with no trouble on 3G.
I spoke with a Sprint rep today who indicated 4G should be live in this area by the end of next week.(Hope, hope.)
Nope, mine is running good today. Last night I went back to stock group deodexed whatever the update letter was. It's running good. Eating battery a bit more than cyanogen rc1, but I got tired of poor reception so I'm trying something different.
I'm over in Melbourne and it has been terrible all day. I'm glad it isn't just me.
Tampa here. Its been hit and miss. When 4G first hit, I could pull 5-6Mbps on 4g and 1Mbps on 3G. Now I can't even pick up 4G where I used to at work, 4G at Busch Gardens is about 2Mbps and 3G is running around 500kbps.
Definitely something screw the last 4 or 5 days.

I'm usually home using wifi near US1 and babcock but I was up in Viera tonight and got better speeds while roaming 2g on verizon than 3g on sprint. I'm glad cyanogenmod has the "affiliated networks" option.
I live around the Tampa area but have traveled to north Florida for the weekend and the trip this afternoon was horrible for data. No data coverage from Tampa to ocala at all on I75 using my evo or the data card so I know its not a phone problem. It's the network.

I am near Orlando and it has been ****ty 3g. I thought it was my rom. I called sprint and told them i couldn't connect over 3g so they gave me my MSL number and did a restore. Now i have an updated PRI and am getting about a 1meg down. This is double compared to what i was getting before considering where i live.
Yeah, there were times yesterday I couldn't even connect. It was making my Word Feud playing and Pandora listening extremely unenjoyable.
I'm in Miami. Near the airport. About a week ago I was riding to work and when I got to work I saw that it had picked up a 4g connection somewhere along the way. Haven't been able to find it again though

I currently live in Jacksonville near Regency area , and have weak 4G service . I have been told there are currently two 4G towers in Jacksonville that are active . If they are I must be on the very edge of it so I dont even use it at this point .
yeah my 3g service is stuggling in Jacksonville
4g seemd to be working ok yesterday in tampa, just the 3g was crap.....Today is a brand new day, hopefully the system has repaired itself...Lets see....

Ok so for some reason lately my 3g service seems to be really really slow or not working at all. Gives error when going to the market or using the web.says no service accessible.please try again. What the hell is going on? I live in the renton/kent Washington area. And no I have not reached 5gb cap yet.my month just started. Some times it works and gives me up to 4mb to 6mb speeds if I go to a friends house. But wont work 90% of the time in my area. Use to work great. But now it sucks balls! Thanks for any ideas!

If you have had good 3g up until now, call TMo. If it is not a currently known service issue, have them open a service ticket. They did it for me (although edge was working) and I was back in business in about 4 days, and they even called me back to make sure everything was cool.
Yea already called them.told me I should upgrade to the Myslide 4g. Lol I just got the Vibrant. Also told me it should be working fine.made a trouble ticket but that was last week.still having major issues with 3g service. Stupid thing is they told me if I added the $15 extra tethering plain.my 3g would be faster.what a load of crap! Lol
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
you're not alone, my 3g is gone too though i have a good reception here in my place in the past.
Just ran the Speedtest.net App and only got 0.15kb download speed but got 1.75mg upload speed. That doesn't seem right to me!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
what rom are you running?
i think the vibrant has weak reception in general, mine is always switching between 3g and edge everywhere where my tp2 could hold a 3g connection and sometimes my vibrant will search for a signal where my tp2 would have at least edge.
also the wifi bars will go to 1 or 0 on the vibrant when i am one room over from my router but my tp2 and bb bold will have full bars.
maybe this is caused by the battery saving algorithm?
happened to me the other day in myrtle beach for like 15 minutes i had like crappy 100 kbps download and like 2 mbits upload.
i think some ****er is just hogging all the bandwidth from the tower you are on.
sorry if we cant cuss im new.
Running just the offical ROM with JI6 update. Also Rooted. Starting to get pissed off here.plus GPS is non working taking like 10mins to even find me.and its jumping all over the place on google maps! WTF!! ;(

I came from the G1 and I noticed the Vibrant doesn't get nearly as good of reception. It was a pretty rare thing to ever be on anything but 3G with the G1 but the Vibrant spends quite a bit of time on Edge. Same locations...
For what it is worth the JK2 modem has given me the best overall performance/battery life. Could be worth a try putting a JK2 ROM on there if you haven't already. But yeah the Vibrant overall doesn't get as good of signal as some other phones.
I've been having reception issues since T-mobile announced Louisvile was live with 4G. getting similar errors saying no service accessible.please try again. or it will just say network error.
Ok so I just installed the lag fix from the market and I got to say wow. Phone is lighting fast and gps seems to be better and 3g. Almost like a new device! Crazy
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
you sure the lagfix fixed it? can you run a speedtest?
Yeah all same here. 3g issues for 3 days now, speed test was 67 kbs. Usually 4000 + Idk what's happening but its good to know I'm not alone. This is pissing me off.

It won't work that well around the area of Kent, East Hill area.
I am experiencing the same matter as you, and live in about the same area.
From my observation, general east hill area has bad 3G,data packet connection.
I've been having the same problems as u guys. I live in philly, and 3g had always been pretty good. I called tmo and got to upper level tech support, and they said out might be a network merging issue (whatever the hell that is). So, I starting playing around with the settings and I found a short term fix for me. Do this only if u know u have 3g signal, go to wireless and network, then network mode and click wcdma. if u go into edge area u will lose signal completely.

My data speeds have gotten slower and slower over the past couple of months. I cant even stream a youtube video without it buffering to hell. WTF SPRINT! I know I cant be getting throttled hell my billing cycle just started.
My speeds go up and down.. Some days thier fast and smooth and some days their just slow and laggy. I dont get it...
Yeah I have the same slowdown for my data speed as well. First I thought it was just me and all my flashing addiction but after seeing this glad I'm not the only one who noticed it.
I noticed this over the last week.
swyped from my gingerbread'd Evo 4G
The last 2 weeks have been getting worse and worse for me. I am going to call sprint tomorrow.

Have you paid attention to what time of day data speed slows down? Could be just the network being overloaded in your area. For example I start work at 7am and if I run a SpeedTest during 6:50a-8ish I am in the 700-800kb range in my office. If I run the same test after 10a I see anywhere from 200-500kbs. The worst is near lunch hour and after 3pm....damn kids! lol

This is what happens when carriers keep adding subscribers, but are unable to keep their backhaul data pipes expanding. They need subscribers in order to build infrastructure, so we the consumer suffer in the meantime.

I also have to imagine that Android being Sprint's biggest smart OS doesn't help. WinMo/BB just kind of idles when it.. idles. Android on the other hand is built to have constant background data updating, now add a bunch of both old and new subscribers who don't know better and leave the short default polling of their thousand and one apps, and you got a scaling problem.
Its quite annoying. Forget trying to stream anything its pointless lol. There was a point where I could watch netflix with no buffer, now it takes it like 20 minutes just to get to the point where itll actually play. I dont even use it much anymore because as soon as it finally plays the buffer will kick right back in. DAMN I really dont want to have to get this AT&T DSL garbage.
Same issue with me in Wisconsin.
Had 2 friends standing next to me, 1 Verizon 1 AT&T...They both passed the 2mb mark while I chugged along at 350ish k
I used to get awesome service outside Milwaukee but now it seems like complete crap
I called sprint today about the slow data issue, I'm in green bay wi. She told Mr that a lot of people on Wisconsin have been complaining about slow data speeds. Something about waiting to get approval to add something to their towers to speed up data. Who knows it sounds fishy to me, thank God I have roam control to get better speed off Verizon's towers.

I noticed my 3g going to crap over the past month because I stream Pandora all day. Plus just looking at the bars I could tell the signal was not as good (I haven't run any speed tests).
Discovered today however that my 4g now rocks! I'll be using 4g as often as possible now. I didn't notice a big difference in battery drain because while 3g struggled, 4g flew, so I think that evened out.
This is my subjective opinion of course.

Same here, I work in downtown Phoenix and it's POINTLESS trying to stream anything over 64k quality after 2pm. I thought it was Pandora sucking, so I switched to shoutcast on Xiialive, same thing. In the morning it's fine for the most part, but once all the kids get home from school the entire network goes to crap. I don't care about 4g, I just want decent 3g... oh yeah, my speeds are .6mbs in the evening and at the slowest i'm pushing .09mbs per speedtest.net app.
Been having horrable data speeds on 3g the past 3-4 months. And ive been calling and complaining everytime i have problems and making note of when i called sprint and what was done to the account. I have tried everything they asked including going to the store and getting a refurbed evo. But at the store when i got the refub i dled speedtest and got the same results...so i told them to keep it and give me my original phone back.
Point of this post is to DEFINATLY call and complain...dont let it go and look it over. Take notes on what they said and did to your account and spit it back at them the next time you call. They wanna charge me an etf for something that is not my fault since i want to cancel. I wont accept that...this is there problem...i shouldnt pay for full service if i aint getting it or be punished for cancelling when it is a problem on there end. Here is notes from todays convo with them as an example for others that should do the same. It may be the only way for them to fix there service or the only way they look at you and be like...hes to much of a pain in the ass to keep him so let him go. I will continue to call and complain until it is hopefully fixed or worst case they cancell my contract...todays notes.
Feb 15 spoke to 3 sprint reps and 1 supervisor in the cancellation dept..had my bill adusted to 101.09 dollars for poor service the past 3-4 months. So far total credits issued for poor data the past 4 months is $16 for invisable screen protecter..$20 for data booster at home...$30 for a credit issued for january for poor data speeds and $36 today for february's bill of poor data speeds. Total of $102.00
I've also noticed slower speeds for some time now, along with my home comcast internet. too many people online these days? (my internet used to be blaazzzing fast for 9 years!)
This has happened to me since November. I got my evo on launch day, and was getting great speeds, about 1500kbps down consistently. One day in November, my 3g crapped out. Since then, sprint has given me 6 phones, 3 refurbs and 3 brand new ones. All have the same problem. This leads me to believe its a network problem, I mean how could 7 phones have the same exact problem. But, my friend has an evo, and side by side his is normal, while I get less than 70kbps. And the evo's in the sprint store are fine as well, along with all the other phone models.
I have spent HOURS and HOURS on the phone trying to get this taken care of. I'm not trying to get anything from sprint, I just want my 3g to work. I love the evo, and I love sprint's coverage in my area.
They have given me 6 phones, and I haven't paid my bill in 3 months, since they keep giving me credits since they cant figure out the problem. I really could care less, I just want my 3g to work correctly.
So no, it really DOESN'T pay to complain. I have spent hours of my life complaining about this, and have gotten nowhere.
Same thing here. My 3G data speeds crapped out last November also. Sprint has no idea what the problem could be. I think everybody who is experiencing slower than normal data should raise serious hell with Sprint every single day. This is NOT a coincidence. I suspect something fishy is going on and I'm not going to pay these premium unlimited data fees for terrible 3G data speeds! I'm going to demand Sprint to credit my account 50% every month until they turn 3G back on like it used to be. If not I want out of my contract. Either way I can easily sell my two EVO's on Craigslist to cover the etf's.
I can't watch Sprint TV, YouTube, or stream any online video content. Web browsing is VERY slow. My data speeds have gone from 1.6mbps to .30kbps since last November and now I never get speed results faster than .76kbps on a good day. It seems like Sprint flipped a switch one day out of the blue and data speeds went to **** ever since.

What happened was more people got on the data network and Sprint hasn't invested in capacity like Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T has to support more 3G data traffic.

As we all know, HTC and Sprint borked downloads for apps like Rhapsody, Mog, Thumbplay.
I recently ran across the subject and i found a fix. It is very simple.
1. Get your MSL, There are many ways, call Sprint, Download the app MSL Reader from the market, CDMA workshop
2. After you have your MSL go to your phone and type ##3282#
3. Click Edit Mode
4. Click Advanced
5. Scroll down to HTTP PD Proxy Port & HTTP PD Proxy Address
6. Change HTTP PD Proxy Port to 0 (zero)
7. Change HTTP PD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0
8. Go enjoy Downloads and a .20-.60 mbps increase in 3G speeds!
-All credit to original finder of this fix, i am just passing it along and found the speed increase. Also when you flash a new rom it will back to old settings so remember to re-apply and it wont make you more vulnerable to anything.

The Proxy changes do indeed help. Be sure to give them a try. That being said. my 3G and 4G data speeds are roughly half of what they were four months ago (Baltimore market). The only thing that has not changed is my RSSI or signal strength which comes in at -62.00 dBm every day, all day. The Rx signal to noise ratio has been reading "Not ready" for the past couple of months. What happened to it? How do I calculate CINR without this part of the equation?
I've complained numerous times about my poor signal coverage and pour 3g and ay first they gave me a airvana airave unit which really doesn't work to well with the evo..... but at least they did something....
I have an Airwave on the way. Sprint has also credited a month's bill yet again. Let's hope Sprint/Clear can get their collective acts together soon.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
For slow 3G speed, an Airvana is not the answer for the simple fact that it hooks into your existing broadband connection.. you could just get a WiFi router.
That's what I told them. They said it was an "Airwave 2.0" and acts like a repeater of the 3G signal. Either way, it is of no cost to me. It does show a willingness of Sprint to work with me, even if the proposed solution is no solution.

It's obvious the more people who start using smartphones will start to slow down the service, but its the same with Comcast internet as much as I hate it. The companies all get u with the little filler words "up to". The speeds are not and never will be garunteed, at least not in the near future. Let's just hope these clowns actually give us TRUE 4g speeds in the next few years(70-100Mbps) as the technology grows.
Not 100% true. My company says up to as well, but its only allowed to be 5-10 percent off that speed, otherwise they send someone out.

I mean there is wiggle room. But when a company says 20Mbps and u only get 13, u r within that range u are talking about. I know Comcast, if u pay for 20mbps service, u can be getting 12 and they can do nothing about it on their end. It's because some units share a single.signal, same with cell towers, the more people using , the slower it'll be. And grandma and grandpa are starting to get smartphones, so it'll keep getting slower unless sprint stays on top of their game.

I've gone from amazing 3G reception to constant dropouts and I work downtown Chicago across from the Sears Tower...I have no idea what has happened but being connected to 3G is hit or miss.
They also sent me an airave, which did indeed help in my home. But that does nothing outside of my home. Also, if the 3g works with the airave, that should mean that there is no problem with the 3g radio, so its not a hardware problem, but a network problem.

I dont think this is the problem. As I stated earlier, two of my friends have evo's, and side by side, their two get normal speeds, while mine gets crap. Also, in the sprint store, I tested their display evo, just fine, and a few other random phones, all were fine.

I live in the north subs and my parents are downtown Lake n Deerborn, and my parents phones have been crap lately too. Maybe sprint is over emphasizing the 4G downtown(much faster there then where I'm at) and could be messing w 3G speeds. Probably not the exact case but I can see sprint concentrating highly on 4G where it is abundant and short changing 3G a little bit.
I'm no pro so don't take my theory to heart, just thoughts.

Hugh threads over in the evo forum about this.
At this point in time, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that they have some MAJOR PROBLEMS and they COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ACTUALLY FIXING THEM.
It's been going on for MONTHS.
Its 'unlimited data', but you're going to be hard pressed to actually use it because they sucked in a ton of new users with the EVO release, then cut just about every program, haven't fixed the obvious problems for months and no one has any proof that they've actually tried to fix it, let alone actually fixed it.
RIGHT NOW: Everybody with Sprint is getting AOL speeds and its 2011.
Yah Sprint's not exactly fast lately. On a good day I can get around 1200kbps. For the last few days it's been between 250 and 450kbps. Latency is still okay though.
We'll dchawk those low speeds of yours crush my top speeds atm. I'm getting like 3 - 10kps d/l and that's if I can even connect the speedtest app.

Oh I get those really low speeds too occasionally. I work from home though so the biggest variable is time of day rather than location.
Ironically, when I'm out and about it's for a reason that keeps me too busy to use the phone...especially the data.
Jacksonville up north, working at 100% efficiency.

For me occasionally means 99.999% of the time.
There are a few hotspots I can stand in where it get in the low hundreds, but 60k is 'normal' speed here. When there is a drop it is <10k or no data service.

I'm talking to a Sprint rep right now, asking about Airave, it sounds promising, to be honest.

Oh okay. I can even force roaming and get a consistent 130kbps (1G I guess) if desperate. 60kbps is definitely not normal.
Blame Ericcson. The network management vendor of Sprint.
Sprint doesn't actually manage their own towers.
Sprint has a major outage going on in Houston apparently, i called 3 days ago and they said 68 zip codes were affected. Considering Houston is the 4th largest city in the U.S, that's unacceptable.
Jacksonville is experiencing outages.. At least around the South Jax Beach/Ponte Vedra area.. Started around 10:00 this morning.. My phone won't make or recieve calls, or send or recieve text messages, BUT my internet works fine.. Sprint said it's a voice tower down..
