Closer to the tower I was under 8mb.... In other places in town I have gotten consistent 6mb+
Of course at my house (about 2mi from the tower that gave me 9mb) I get nothing..... but it's not too far away

Damn, wish had 4G here. To bad that won't be until like 2025 considering there isn't 3G at my house.

i can normally pull a constant 7mbs in kc! and have seen up to 9!!

I've seen spikes during speed tests of up to 10.5 in KC, but it settled back around 9.5. Zip code 66210 I normally have been seeing 5-7 megabits down and 1 up.

I cannot get it at my flippin house, but I can 4 blocks down the street. 66202 zip

I can't get 4G inside anywhere in KC. Anyone else? Outside no issues at all though.

Have you tried the 4g connection fixes on here? They worked great for me.
KC users on here - pm me and maybe we can collaborate on checking 4g and such

Tried some with no improvement. Which are you talking about specifically? Would you mind posting the links for me? Willing to try anything about now!
Already used Whitslack's method, etc. Running latest wimax and radio.

These worked REALLY well.

i can pull 6mbs up north of the river sometimes even 8-9

Yeah I was over in Independence (KC Area) one day sitting in a parking lot and I was getting 6's and 7's down. But I my house I barely get a regular Sprint signal.

Damn - no luck. Guess I'll just have to wait until the signal is stronger down this far south.
Thanks for the help guys!

Actually, i went about 1/2 mile north this afternoon and got 4g indoors for the first time ever! And full bars to boot! Thanks for the help guys!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

got this standing in a drive way in Olathe
At my work in O.P. - Indoors - just recently we are getting 8-9 - I even hit 10 once...
when i first got the EVO we were only getting 3-4 indoors or anywhere for that matter
-
FTR I can only get 4g Indoors in my house on the top floor next to a window..
let me know if there is a KC EVO meet up

Not in KC, but still in Missouri here. In STL I've hit 9.5Mbps max down, with an average around 7.5Mbps.
Too bad I have to drive north 60 miles to pick it up
Oh well, I'll have it eventually, I'm in a (relatively) good sized market to Sprint, and I'm in a bubble of 3G thats ~30 miles wide that theres nothing on either side of but north to STL. I'll get it before some people but not early.

He's clearly on 4g with full signal bars.
My 4g speeds are hit and miss here in San Antonio, Tx. At home I used to get 10-12Mbps. Now I usually get 5-8Mbps. Here at work I used to get close to 5Mbps with 1 - 2 signal bars. Sometimes I barely get 1Mbps with the same signal, other times it is pushing barely 3Mbps. My signal strength hasn't increased or decreased significantly at least.

Again, there is already a thread about slow data on Sprint here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933900
It's a nationwide issue.

I miss being in 4g coverage. It was basically wifi on the go.
Although the latency would make it respond a second or so later..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Current 3G speed is 1307/533 with only 3/6 bars
4G is 2050/1075

I drove truck across country both 4g and 3g speeds varied depending on population density and even that sometimes didn't matter. Now I sit at home and rarely use 3g 4g doesn't exist but of course we pay for it....It's like paying a huge bill for something I rarely use..At home I'm on wifi.

wireless tether
My friend's tether works with 3g -- he can get on his phone's 3g network wirelessly and wired, but he can't do it with 4g on. Anyone can help?

"4G" on Sprint is an absolute joke. The fact that they make us pay for it is detestable. I kinda knew that 4G was gonna suck, I just wanted the Epic really bad. What can I say? I'm a glutton for punishment. LOL

the seriously you're better off going to another carrier. I like sprint, yes the 4g speeds are not as consistent as I would like, but most errors i see on XDA are user-based because of ignorance (i.e. restoring data from a completely different rom via CWM, SMH), which i believe you have plenty of. Do some fact checking and you'll see that Sprint has the best data plans for the money available.
Stop *****ing and go to Verizon.

It's a whole lot less cluttering when you post the speed.....we honestly don't care/need a screen shot when a (3G xxx / xxx) format works 1000x better

For the third time, yes it's a network issue. And yes there's already a thread about it. First page.

i fix my problem with mines. i just turned of my phone for about 15minutes. now iam back to 5-6mbps. for a few days i was at 1-2mbps.

well the only time I tried 4G was at CES - and it was slower then the 3G - and since Sprint dont have it anywhere but they still always advertise it all the time around my town and its not even in this state!
that sucks almost as much as waiting between posts and just to post in the development section

Dont know if this helps, but it did me...
All these roms are developed in their own home...so the PRL is not for your surrounding area....
I live in New York, so when I did a test at speedtest.net it showed me in Kansas...I updated my PRL and my location was back in NY and my test speed doubled.
Does this make sense?

Its just not about 3g in an area.I hv been traveling and it gets miserable when I am on roaming.

Is there a driver update for nexus which can make it better?

What carrier are you on?

There are definitely issues with Nexus S 3G.
Not that serious, but they are present.
For example, I have visual contact with a 3G tower when I'm at home. I get signal readings into the high 50s, low 60s dBm while in the house. Even then, there are times when the phone switches to 2G.
Why on earth a baseband processor would decide that is beyond my understanding.
All other phones in the house never leave 3G...

the highest i've got is 5 Mbps down and 400 Kbps up
but that's because of the areas i've been to
i'm pretty sure if i find better spots it can go higher than that

I have the same problem: 3G is slow for my Nexus S. I also have an iPhone and a HTC Desire HD and they are faster...

This is what I get using my Nexus S on the Rogers network. If you want faster uncapped speeds on the fido/rogers network just flash KB3 radio.

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Sounds like you have the wrong nexus s for your carrier to me. You sound like you got a model that only works on the 2g bands.

I only get a little under 3mbit down and just over 2mbit up. I don't really consider it slow though. I never have problems with mine switching to 2g or anything like that either. Again, just because you are standing right next to a tower, doesn't mean it's the phone. There are many more factors to consider than distance/sight of a signal tower.

Changed my kernel to Matrix and now my speeds are even quicker using KB3 radio on the Rogers network

You must not like iPhones... Sprint's 3G speeds have been getting progressively worse over the past year and I'd say it probably due to free smartphone promos (e.g., free Evos through Radio Shack--I know three people that got them for free) than iPhones. Sprint knows about it and is doing something about it. I don't remember where I read the article (I just googled it and unfortunately couldn't find it) where it states that Sprint is improving their infrastructure. I flashed back to Froyo because I thought that might be the problem and my speeds did increase for a while and then dropped back. Just be patient.

Mays Landing NJ 08330

Philadelphia, PA

Here's my "normal" speeds... I was getting faster speeds on dial-up back in 1995. This has happened in my area since last November. Before that, I could easily pull 2mbps all day and all night.
Everyone else with this problem, do your speeds increase late night/early morning? Between about 2am and 6am, I can pull about 1.3mbps, but during the day or any other time, I can NEVER get above 100kbps. Obviously this shows that the towers are just overloaded, and not broken, as Sprint keeps claiming.

Just did this test, also using 3g turbocharger script

Here is a nice 4g screenshot

Well its either sprint or just more iPhone suckage cause my bro in law got sprint iPhone and speed tests side by side I'd get .24mbps and he'd get .02 averages. Kinda funny and kinda sad at same time. But guess its a wide spread thing per sprint community page.

Sorry to hear you are having 3G issues. My 3G shot up about a month ago from about 0.3m to more than 1.0m. I have never had anything below 0.1m unless I was roaming on Verizon. Now I'm pretty much above 1.0m with occasional slow downs, but still over 0.3m when slow.

You're one of the lucky ones. I'm INCREDIBLY lucky to even get 1mb. My 3g is pretty much useless and LTE is nowhere to be found.

4g is finally hitting Colorado Springs. I've found it in quite a few places, I've even been picking up signal at my work. Nothing at home yet unfortunately. My best speed has been about 10 Mbps down. Seems they are growing the network pretty fast.

Like all carriers, it depends on where you live. Here in Dallas-Ft Worth, the service is good for the most parts. Yeah there are some parts of the metroplex where service can get spotty but for the most part, no complaints. That said, i'm done after the last 6 months of my contract. Going to a GSM carrier since i switch phones so much. My wife and son will remain on Sprint.

I went to Sprint from Verizon 2 yrs. ago for the price. (Before VZW had their family share plans). The data was painfully slow where I live in central NC. 4g lte is non existent and 3g will hardly load a web page. There are cities around me that have fairly good data speeds but for the most part, it's frustratingly slow. I went back to VZW this year and it is so nice to have fast data and a reliable signal wherever I go. As with everything, it all depends on the individual circumstances. Sprint gets bashed because they deserve it in most of those cases.

Yeah, they've made good improvements to your east in Raleigh. It was very hit or miss earlier, but now things are much improved with their network. Going around the mountains are the only place where I've been without reliable signal, but that's to be expected (even a Verizon phone had no signal there). Definitely interested to see, though, if Roam Control will work for the Moto X on 3G.
If only Sprint would go ahead and release KitKat, though. But that's a whole other story...

Right on queue, here comes KitKat. My wife likes her X, and we used to be on the 3g slow boat. LTE is amazing though... Sprint is really stepping up their game lately.

LTE is nowhere to be found in Queens, NY and there are a lot of dead spots on Long Island as well. My phone has become useless on vacation in ny. My friend on tmobile has been on LTE the whole time. 3G is basically 1x rebranded

Sprint makes me sad and the fact they may very well buy T Mobile makes me want to cry.

great 4G around Miami except for, irritatingly, the airport. Of course, waiting for a plane to depart is the time I'd most like to stream Netflix, MLB At-bat, Hulu etc.

Any luck with roam control
