Sprint Epic 4G Update Brings Faster Uploads Tomorrow
File under: News
By: Chuong Nguyen | 5:06 PM 29-Sep-10 | 0 Comments
Forum member dshoem01 on Sprint's community forums has promised that the carrier will be releasing an update to the Sprint Epic 4G that will be coming tomorrow, September 30th, and will be rolled out over the air over four days. The firmware update should fix the slow upload speeds that Epic 4G owners have been experiencing, which caps their uploads to a measly 150 kbps on Sprint's 3G network. According to the forum post, "Good news - an update will be released tomorrow 9/30. It will be rolled out over a 4 day period so not everyone will get it on day 1. I will have the standard MR information (fixes included, rollout schedule, etc) available tomorrow morning and will post it in a new featured thread."

FYI, i take anything Engadget posts with a HUGE grain of salt. Not saying it won't come tomorrow, I have faith it will. But the article on Epic Problems was written by a guy who's top devices are a Netbook, an XBOX 360 and the Palm Pre. This guy wouldn't know good hardware if it *****slapped him in the face.

The only one I've ever experienced was the 3G upload. and it just isn't a big deal for me right now. Plus, fix is in the works.
People who have the market download problem didn't clear their cache before flashing a ROM. That's no one's fault except the person who flashed the ROM. The only time I've had anything fail in the market is when I was actively switching from wifi to 3g or vice versa. Download restarted fine with no issues.
GPS, sorry, just don't experience them. I apologize for those with them, but I just have not had an issue getting a lock when I'm outdoors. I travel to different stores everyday for work, and I've never had an issue navigating there. GPS/Maps way better on this phone than Hero, which frequently put me on some side road instead of the current one, and no one *****es about that phone's GPS issues.

I didn't have GPS issues at first, but eventually I started to experience it. The biggest problem though is the battery drain that can basically kill the whole thing in 4-5 hours.

Seriously, this update needs to fix the 3G battery drain that is killing this phone. Fixing the GPS would be nice too, but upload speeds are a distant third on the list of stuff that needs to be fixed ASAP...
FUGGG. Just remembered that I'm gonna have to re-install all the Sprint/Samsung apps to get this update like i did last time. -___-
As least I will remember how to do it this time!

This does not uncap the upload speed, it just doesn't route your internet traffic through a proxy anymore, after you change this.
What is the PRL version number for the updated PRL?
I got a PRL update today but not sure if i just didn't update it in the past.

Well I changed mine to eliminate the proxy and with 2bars of signal on 3g I got a ping of 145 with speedtest app also it now shows a server thats actually near me . The same server when I test the 4g speeds! That could bed the reason for a lower ping though

Also when I ran it multiple times I recieved 180kbps upload everytime. This is the highest I have seen it on 3g

Wow my 3G is like less than 20KB right now what the ****?
My 4G is like 80KB
My 4G at like 3am is 400KB but what the hell is wrong with sprint? I don't even wnat to call them because they will go through the same "Oh nothing is wrong on our end" bull****
Anybody else????
try this, using root explorer i went into system/ etc / host , and change the ip from 127.0.0.1 (or whatever) to 0.0.0.0 (zero's, not O or o), once you do that hit menu and save and exit, now it's going to tell you that it'll save the old ip as host.bak, however your going to want to delete that too, but atleast make sure you write it down and save it.
i went from about 20kbps to 1.2mbps after this, took me a bit to learn that,
Thnx, I downloaded a program called "Adfree Android" as advised http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908210&page=4 < and I'll see if that works. I will try your method too!
Tried 0.0.0.0 with Adfree Android's feature and it just slowed it down some more

Is it me, or the AOSP roms having problems with consistent connection? Or lower speeds, i had to ultimately go back to Sense because Cyan and MIUI connection was slim to none in my room. I don't understand why the rom would do this though, the rom and radio is separate right?
The last two days have been bad in east of the lake around the Seattle area. My 4g sometimes just keeps looping to connect. Media streaming is crappy. Something must be going on. But when I get connected to 4g it is pretty fast around 9mbps.

I don't know whats wrong with you. I'm at 900kb/600kb
I'm in STL and my 3G speeds have been horrible at best lately, also..
I was just trying to watch a youtube and it was taking forever to load so I ran a speedtest. .02 megs down with a ping of 984. WTF????????? I think this has pretty much made up my mind. When the Thunderbolt drops im done with Sprint.

swyped from my gingerbread'd Evo 4G
Before 4G was "officially" out in los angeles I was getting 9mb down, I tried last week and got 1.2mb down. That's horrible and I am assuming it's because once sprint said 4G was available everyone started using it. A girl that just started working with me has the EVO and was saying how she keeps 4G on all the time just because. I wish I could get faster speeds too : (

Chicago or Seattle? Which is it?
I suspect someone has hacked your google account and is pushing bad GPS data to your phone. Probably setting you up as a fall guy on some mob hit.

Then how would you explain the atlantic ocean?
Some more info: this issue is present for both google maps and the modded maps by brut.all
I did a search for you, because the oddity of this problem is interesting, there seems to be a consensus that you need to run GPS only, no "cell network" assistance.
I was also interested if you were suffering the possible side effects of allowing Lightsquared to transmit so close to the GPS frequencies.
Hope this helps.
What is Lightsquared? I have not heard of that before
Lightsquared is trying to bring Internet to portable devices, not over cell freqs. They petitioned the FCC for new freqs and got approval earlier this year.
The problem is that their freqs are very close to GPS freqs...It's got a lot of people worried that the very low power GPS will no longer work correctly against the background of the much more powerful signals from Lightsquared.
http://www.gpsworld.com/gnss-system...us-gps-jamming-fcc-approved-broadcaster-11029
I'm curious to see if everyone's GPS will have issues, especially when they are near large cities that Lightsquared has deployed to.

And that Lightsquared thing sounds pretty interesting. I will look more into it.
this happened to me yesterday but this is the first time I'm able to post/ask about this....
so I was at the Subway Series yesterday (for those who don't know....Mets-Yankees game) and took some photos during batting practice. I was tweeting the photos then it said network connection lost. It's happened to me before so I didn't think anything of it. Tried about an hour later (still at the game btw) to search something on google and I couldn't connect. I then thought, "probably in a ****ty Sprint area". After I got home where I know sprint is good, tried to use the internet on my phone again, and still wouldn't connect.
Each one of these times it would say "Needs WiFi or 3G connection" it was annoying! anybody else experience this??
Mets suck.
Just sayin...
No I haven't. Hope you find the solution as that would suck if it happened to me.

I've had something similar where 3G was acting stupid. Try toggling in, and out of Airplane Mode. It might reset the radio to where you can connect again. If not reboot.
Kind of happened to me at the movies. Transformers3 was about to start and I couldn't do anything with my phone until I got out of the theater! It was weird... Like I was being blocked from sending anything or getting online.??

I am not sure if this is the case or not, but I know that it is possible to have a device installed that blocks cell phone signals. I have heard that in some places, it has been allowed, however I am not certain where it is or is not allowed.
The article linked below, is old, but talks about how some The National Association of Movie Operators was in the process of trying to get it to be exempted from the "Communications Act of 1934, section 333, which makes it illegal to interfere with radio communications"

This is perhaps the biggest issue plaguing my phone.
I'm getting intermittent periods of the above mentioned, when my signal strength indictor is good and it's showing that I'm either on 3G or H+, but whatever I'm on doesn't seem to load. Browser, Reddit is Fun, XDA app or even Whatsapp. In the same areas my Galaxy S2 consistently loads data while my Nexus 4 seems to just sit there doing nothing. Anyone have any ideas on what's the cause of this?
PS: I tried looking for some sort of email to contact Google and possibly send it back, but strangely I can't find anything!
Not sure what your issue is but its easy to contact Google.
Go to the play store on a PC ( could do it on a browser from your phone as well ) and go down to the bottom of the page and find my orders and settings. From there all your apps and devices show up. Go the the nexus 4 and help. From there you should find all the ways to contact Google.

Do you have the same issues while on wifi? If you do then I would think it was an issue with the phone, if not then there's something wrong with your service plan apn settings. Are you sure you set your service plan up correctly in the phone's settings?

My device doesn't even show up on that list I think I'm gonna try to use a VPN to spoof my location and see if I can get the contact email. I suspect contact emails aren't showing up because my country is not one of the official countries where the device is launched in.

The phone works perfectly fine on Wi-Fi. As for the APN settings, that has occured to me but as I understand it they are loaded on my SIM card by my provider and I'm pretty sure they are correct.
Looks like I'm gonna have to send it back somehow. I'm hoping it's a software issue that can get fixed relatively easily.

Are you with TMobile? I had a similar issue and I called up TMobile tech support and they reprovisioned/reprogrammed my data and while I've still had some data dropouts, they're not nearly as frequent as before.
Are you sure it's not your APN? I had a similar issue and assumed the APNs would be right from my provider. I looked them up online and entered a new APN. That fixed it for me.

I will check it again, but then if my APN was wrongly configured I think my mobile data won't work 100% of the time right?
I'm having this exact same problem but only in one specific location.
My signal on Tmo is good everywhere. The bars show medium to full strength and that is backed up by the reported metrics in Phone Info and Settings. However data is next to unusable at my office near Times Square. I only get "bursts" of data and if I try to use the browser, refresh mail, open Twitter, check FB, etc, the connection times out. At home, around Manhattan, and around the country Tmo gives me great HSPA+ speeds. I have checked my APN settings and they are corect.
Any thoughts?

My signal on Tmo is good everywhere. The bars show medium to full strength and that is backed up by the reported metrics in Phone Info and Settings. However data is next to unusable at my office near Times Square. I only get "bursts" of data and if I try to use the browser, refresh mail, open Twitter, check FB, etc, the connection times out. At home, around Manhattan, and around the country Tmo gives me great HSPA+ speeds. I have checked my APN settings and they are corect.
Any thoughts?

Sounds pretty much like what I was experiencing. I see that the latest few CM10.1 nightlies have several HSPA commits. I'm gonna give the latest nightly a go and see if it helps. Was on CodeFireX BR10.1 during all these.
Edit: Observing the behavior of my signal icon, it seems that it idles at 3G. If I touch a link or initiate any action that loads data, it stays on 3G for a while before switching to H or H+. I'm wondering if the problem lies during this "transition" period.
Edit2: 5 minutes into the 13122012 nightly, I'm noticing that the phone stays on H+ much longer and the transition from 3G to H+ is much faster now. Will monitor and report back!
Just an update: After one day of usage I can safely say the problem is gone. Flashing to the 13122012 nightly of CM10.1 fixed it. I'm not sure what particular commit fixed it though.
Anyway, the configuration of my phone when the problem occured was CodeFireX BR10.1 and franco r13. I'm currently on CM10.1 13122012 and franco r14.

Same thing here. I have a rma unit coming in a few minutes or so, and I'll test it out. This happens to me around Midtown as well. The data speeds in Manhattan are at a crawl though around peak but that doesn't explain why it stops downloading data when there is full service and a stable data connection.

OK so I have the RMA unit in hand and it looks like its been used before but I can't really tell. The reason is because the screen protectors are off and there's no little part to grab and remove it. And the screen had looked like it had been wiped before.
Other than that, its running 4.2 and the data seems stable for now. Still need to test with something else.

Glad I am not alone. I'm very curious to hear how your new unit works out. Thanks for updating and I'll be waiting for more!

Well that is sure curious. I'll try CM10.1 again over the weekend and pick up franco as well. Please let us know if it resurfaces!
I'm having the same issue on Solavei (Tmobile) in NY im getting horrendous data speeds lik ping around 70ms-800ms Download speeds at .09mbps - .14mbps and even worse upload speeds... Im all stock and called them up they said long island and Manhattan are having network issues and it may not be fixed until the beginning of the new year... Im going to try cyanogen 10.1 and a new kernel. I know my friend who doesnt live so far from me isnt having this issue but then again he never messed with carrier settings apns and system info settings like i did X_X
OK it's not the phone at least, that's what I think. I'm on edge right now because of spotty service, where my HTC sensation used to pull full bars with hspa, I'm having edge and 2 bars here.
I think its something with the stock ROM on here, is everyone that's having the problem running stock?

The problem still isn't happening, or at least it isn't happening enough to make me notice. When it occurred I will be fuming throughput the 45 minutes of my daily commute. Now I'm happily using Whatsapp and Reddit is Fun

I want to think the radio is bad and Google Has to update it but my carrier says the cause of this was from hurricane sandy and it won't be fixed until the news year....I went into NYC from long island and I updated to cm 10.1 but still nothing
