Hey I'm running epic experience with xtreme kernal ad my 4g speed in vegas which I live in is only getting .60 mbps whilemy girlfriends evo is getting 3.65 mbps
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I've had this happen to me in Denver (even though 4G isn't technically launched here yet).
Update your PRL and you should be ok. At least it worked for me
What were you testing with? and were you both considered from same distance and connecting to same location?
Same thing is happening to me. I posted another thread about it. I'll try updating my profile/prl and see what happens over the next few days.
EDIT: Updating the PRL didn't change anything.
Seems the 3g speeds are horable just like the inspire i just got. On 318 with the H icon speeds were alot better, infact i got faster upload on 3g than i did on uverse wifi.
Anyone else notice? Anything we can look into to fix this problem?
Dunno, I just fired off 2.53/1.17Mbit on ATT 3g. I've seen it faster (3+Mbit).
Yeah I'm getting great speeds too (on 318), and it has been tested that ATT is faster.
I'm not sure about the update, but ATT must be doing something not to good on their 2.2 update. (something they do to all of their updates?)
What are you guys using to test your speeds?
I've noticed in my neck of the woods, the speed varies depending on the tower.
Right now, at home, I'm getting 2-3 down and 1-2 up, but a couple towers in town I can barely squeak out 23k
Those of you getting over 300Kbps are all probably running build 318,319,322, or streakdroid which are all non at&t approved versions and basebands so at&t doesn't restrict them like it does with every other android phone that is locked to its network. Look at the inspire 4g speed issyes the matrix 4g speed issues they are all the same. That's why you don't use an at&t build on android cause they &@%$ it up.

your information is not entirely true, because when I was with t-mobile, I owned a nexus one which was also not locked into their network and I was seeing amazing speeds. So what are you talking about?
T-mobile's not allowed to customize the nexus phone. That's the entire point of them since they're entirely google stock.
And at&t does neuter baseband: the htc inspire 4g (basically a htc desire for at&t) cant do HSPUA because the network connection is restricted at either the cell tower or software level, but it's radio is capable of HSPUA.
But that's true for the the inspire, I don't know if they've neutered the streak. They can but don't know if they did. If it bothers you, you could try changing your baseband back to 318 while staying on 340. I don't know if this will work since noone's tried (streakdroid doesnt count since it works differently.)
This makes sense. My speeds have been massively worse with stock AT&T 2.2. I should note that it is NOT a reception issue. I live in NYC and get full bars almost everywhere I go.
I wanna know what you guys are using to test your speeds.

I am on Steve's froyo and I get amazing speeds. Normally I get over 3meg dl and 1.5dl. At times I can hit over 5meg dl.

Yup. No doubt Steve's is MUUUCH faster for AT&T Data.
Well thank you. Had this been a topic for that rom, we might be able to discuss that further. But this happens to be about the official att 2.2 ota update.
You are welcome. My post was in DIRECT response to the topic.
Im going back to 318 WITHOUT the perfmod. Perfmod makes the battery SUCK. I really cant stand that the 3g speeds are this bad, and cant understand why the new htc inspire 4g speeds are right on par with it. Att is doing this **** and i am so unhappy with this situation

I downloaded 340 firmware and i have to say it sucked i was only downloading at 30-40kB where when i was on 318 my download speed was close to 240kB and upload was 130kB so i went back to 318 also with 340 there is no tethering option and no loading unknown apps option.
I just ran a speedtest and my results were...
Download: 779kbps
Upload: 1537kbps

Considering I'm in new york city yes it is. How do I fix that?
im using cyanogenmod 7 the stable version, i dont know if these speeds are suppose to be like this or if just sprint service sucks donkey balls. also my upload speed is 0.13mbps which is even faster than my download speed, happens sometimes. On my 4g i get around 4mbps which is pretty good cause i can actually watch youtube videos without waiting so long and lagging, the 3g icon is 1x, i dont know if its suppose to be like that but thats what mine is, on my stock rom its 3g. my prl is 01115 just updated like last week or the week before, i live in cali by the bay area. any help? or r these the speeds, or sprint sucks donkey balls

Stock roms do not show 1x. So you could just have poor signal. Where in the bay area? In southbay I am having no problems.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
1X is not 3g so your speeds are fine for 1x. When you do connect to 3g let us know your speeds.

i live in like modesto tracy area. if you know where that is
thats my point, when i go to stock rom i have 3g, but when i flast custom rom like cyanogenmod i always get 1x for 3g. idk y.
I constantly get 1x in Phoenix using CM7, it is quite annoying.
i never got my cm7 to say 3g always 1x
AOSP and Sense show different signal strengths. Did you guys run a speed test when on Sense? And is it any different?
Honestly I think it's a problem with AOSP rooms like CM and UD. When I've used those I would constantly get 1x connection. I was in a 3G area being that the other phones on my plan would have 4G and 3G and the internet would be quicker. It's a problem with the ROM itself I think.
Edit**
I just found this in Q&A
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898882
Like stated earlier, sense Roms will say 3g but it may really be 1x because sense Rom do not show true signal strength! Aosp does which is why you are seeing 1x with cm7

Yup, but not all sense roms, the incredible 2 shows 1x and 3G so is some sense roms, I'm on 3G at home and I just run some speed test and my download speed is 0.21 mbps and 0.15 upload so is really bad for 3G and I thought it might be my phone but I tried my wife's too (Epic stock) and she gets same result, I ma start going out of town soon, so I think I ma have to cancel Sprint, I wanted the nexus s but T-Mobile sucks too, att don't really like it, so I guess I ma go back with Verizon which is where I came, just don't one the thunderbolt cause all specs rather I wait for the galaxy s 2(I doubt it cause I hate Samsung ) or go back to iPhone in Verizon I don't want to but that's probably my last choice

No. Stock roms will say 3G even when you are on 1X. Do your speeds increase on the stock rom?

Double post
prl does not affect speed, only roaming
My speeds are horrible too. I'm in Indiana. It took me about 2 minutes to load a text only page today on CM7. I'm going to switch to a Sense rom for a couple days and try that out. We'll see how it goes.

For the last TWO AND A HALF MONTHS Ive been *****ing at Sprint for this same reason of slow 3G speeds. When I got my EVO in December, I didnt have any issue pulling in decent 3G speeds at my house in San Francisco (I live in Mission District, and speeds were 900-1100kbps). I currently get between 50kbps to a max 300kbps. Sprint says this is fine for 3G and I say its not.
If you go to Downtown San Jose near "Almaden and Santa Clara" at times the speed will be 1100kbps-2200kbps, but even recently the speed has dropped down.
4G - forget it, it basically doesnt exist where the coverage maps claim. Sprint or Clearwire or BOTH are lying on that one. Where it does work, its slower than 3G in the areas I mentioned above.
Ive gone back and forth with test after test on my phone, reset after reset, visits to the store repair centers everything. Its got to the point Ive filed with the FCC and BBB and still no response from EITHER!
Im now looking at eating the ETF and going to small claims to recoup the fees and a MINIMUM of 3 months of the "highest priced data plan" Sprint offers due to them not being able to deliver what we both contractually agreed to deliver, yet I am forced to continue to pay for. They made out with the better end of the bargain, and that isnt what a contract is about.
So where are you in the Bay Area? Id love to get a hold of you and find out more about your debug settings so I can notify Sprint this isnt just a ME issue, its a network issue.

PRLs don't throttle. PRLs tell the phones in which markets they are to roam over to other services when home service isn't available, and what bands to use for home and roaming services. THAT IS IT THAT IS ALL.
PRLs do not set speeds, increase speeds, decrease speeds. If you think you get better speed because you updated your PRL, you are going to be wrong 99.9% of the time. If you think you get worse speed because you updated your PRL, you are going to be wrong 99.9% of the time.
Plain and simple.
I figured I should chime in here. I was on the 78 PRL, until I got my Airave. As soon as it was added to my account, I updated both my EVO, and fiancee's Hero. Both updated to 01115. Not sure if it's related, but could quite possibly be. Dunno

I sit here and literally shake my head when I see people post about data speeds, etc after a PRL update.....
Hello,
I don't get into the custom ROMS, I rooted so that I could perform titanium backups back in January with unrevoked 3.
At that time I had
PRI = 1.77_003
PRL 60671
I have not had any issues with the evo, nor have I performed any updates.
I was curious as to how many versions have went by so I looked at Settings > About Phone > Software Information and the
PRI = 1.77_003
**** PRL = 01115 ****
I thought that updating a prl would unroot a phone.
I didnt think that the prl was an automagic update?
Did I miss a setting?
Has anyone else had this happen.?
I dont notice anything different on the evo...
comments?
Thanks for your time

From what I have read, not all users will receive the 01115 PRL . . . depends on individual acct "type" . . . my understanding is that people that have "corporate related" accounts, ie, employees of GM, etc, that receive discounts thru their employer affiliation, get PRL 01115 . . . others get PRL 60678 for an update . . . supposedly a difference in towers being provided thru the two PRLs because of recent reduced national coverage . . . guess Sprint is maybe taking care of the "big boys" first??

You are wrong!! I am a simple employ with 4 lines in my account for 7 years and I have the 01115 in all my phones, so that is not the reason.
My wife's evo has that new prl. I'm still on the older one. Is it worth going back to sense to update or not worth it?

my 3g is off and on crappy, but mostly when I try to download stuff from the market... 3g will be illuminated, then when is says starting download, the 3g icon is not illuminated, and the download will just hang there! its super annoying, especially when things auto update, and it just does nothing! x99 rooted 2.3.3 update rom seemsa little better, but I noticed a huge difference when I switched to cyanogenmod, my downloads are a **** ton faster, for internet, and market downloads are 10 times faster!
When I call sprint I tell them their network is a joke and a feature phones faster then what their network is I also tell them that the ROMS on the phone lie and say 3G constantly even though the speeds are 1X and that's wrong of them to bold face lie I tell them all kinds of **** I guess it depends on how mad I am, I'm getting ready to send yet another email to sprints escalation crew and they bout to get it this has been going on for months
