I just got me evo yesterday and I am loving every minute of it. I was just wondering if maybe you guys think my download speeds are slow or on par. I am using non WiFi 4 bar 3g and getting dload speeds of less than .5 mbps. Is that normal? Anything I can do to improve my performance? Thanks

Unfortunately, Sprint's network seems to have taken a beating. Even worse, if you have rooted your phone, your PRI gets dropped to 1.34, which is a lot slower than 1.40 from what I've heard - I haven't noticed a difference in data speeds between the stock phone and what I have now but that may just be my area.
BTW, I am testing an average of 600-800 kbps using the Xtreme Labs Speedtest from the market and about 200 upload.
It seems to vary a lot for me. I get from .8 mps to 1.9 mps on average. On wifi though, I have a 1.5 mps connection, and that is usually about what I get.

I get 1.5mbps to 2.X+mbps on 3g easily.
I get around 1-2 mbps on 3G and 3ish on WiFi depending on signal. I have a wireless n router at work and I've seen over 7 mbps on that.

I average about 300 over 3g at home but 16 down and 9 up on wifi so it's a bit of a trade
Is it just me or does every build have super slow 3g upload speeds?

What are you using RMNET or PPP?
PPP always has faster speed.
Just scored 0.12 mbps on download and 0.10 on upload.
How can I improve this ? Make my phone faster

going to need more info about your phone...ex...version,rooted or non rooted,any kernel...like that...
just did mine and it was 2.53 dl and 1.08 up...with nero3 beta...
...and are you using Speedtest to measure 3G or your wifi or what?
I'm sitting in my house right now in a major metropolitan area and the 3G speed on my stock Vibrant is about 4.2 Mbps down and 1.8 Mbps up. When I turn on the phone's wifi connection to my Fios network, I get about 22-24 Mbps down and about 3-4 Mbps up. If I move around or go outside, these speeds will vary.

It appears as though you have exceeded the 5gb data limit. After this billing cycle is over, your connection will return to normal.
Ya that might b it. I'll run it again when billing cycle ends

You should know. You would have gotten a text.
Jesus...
Or you can reboot and try again. You also might be in an area with a high amount of data traffic. For example when i'm at disneyland, I get full bars but my data speeds are crazy slow. It's probably the same when at a sporting event. 40k people and at least half of them with smart phones trying to access the internets will cause a slow down. But like the other guys said, we're going to need more information.
Ditto, sounds like your being throttled. Try it on wifi. Remember, download **** on wifi if you can. Don't go rom crazy on 3G.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Recently I was in phoenix and the 3g was full bars buy totally unreliable. I switched to edge and it was three times faster than hspa
You might want to switch to only gsm network and see if that helps

So if the phone can get those speeds over wifi would I get those speeds over 3g/4g if it were available?

No. The fastest you will see from this phone is a little over 5Mb's down (in near perfect conditions) and i'm not sure about upload but the fastest i've ever had was 1.8Mb up.
Even if it were available over the T-Mobile ? Why or why not...just trying to get a better understanding as to why over wifi and not over the network IF it were available

Agreed! The vibrant is not a HSPA+ device meaning it is not "4G"

kinda need more. did you have WAYY higher data speeds before? your problem could be 1 of 2 things...maybe both.
1)Bad coverage
2)data throttle
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872570
check my thread about a temporary fix for throttling. its just easy as changing the APNs. i'm working on a permanent fix by creating a services.jar mod,but its not working out so well.
This is ungodly slow? 4 speed

How are you getting that high of internet speeds using your FIOS network? I have FIOS 30Mbps download and 15Mbps upload, and the highest download speed I've gotten on my Vibrant is 13Mbps. I am using a D-Link Wireless N Router (2.4 and 5ghz) which consistently gives my wireless computers 30Mbps, but not my cell phone.
I'm curious to hear what radio you're using and your current setup (router, router settings, service plan, phone settings, etc). If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know what you're doing to get above 13Mbps on Wifi.

Just did mine in New Port Richey, Florida.
5.73 Mbps Download
1.48 Mbps Upload
I believe our phones are capable of 7.2Mbps download on our Hsdpa network connection. Most of the new t-mobile phones that are coming out are capable of about double the download and upload speeds that we can actually achieve.

is this a general g2 problem or is tmo really terrible lately. i traded my hd2 for my g2 because i wanted 4g, otherwise i would have kept my hd2. but i rarely will see speeds over 0.30 mbps! and thats when on 3g. as well i never seem to get hspa+ in the 4g coverage area. (does android display hspa+ in the network info?)
is this a problem with my phone or radio?
Lol the orginal stock rom that come with the phone lies about 4g symbol. If you flash like cyan 7 for instance it will show you the correct symbol if it is really 4g/3g/2g. Oh yea flash a diffrent radio

Depends on your area really. I average 1.5 mps at home running 3G, but when I get near Houston I see a lot of H+ with speeds up to 9 mps. Oh, and I've tried every ROM save for a few of the Sense based ones and they all show G/E/3G or H. I've never seen an H+ symbol even when running obvious H+ speeds. I tried a sense ROM once and it would show me 3G+ when available, but that's it.

If your rooted you can try flashing a different radio.

The H means hspa+. I live in austin texas and I always get H with speeds average at around 6Mbps. If anything I would say the G2 has pretty good reception. Reason being is, I had the same issue with poor data speeds becasuse my phone was trying to connect to a tower not even in my local market...I had bad data speeds but voice still had 4 bars. Call tmobile and make sure you aren't bouncing around towers

my phone is rooted. im running the evil's mytouch 4g rom.
this is on hsdpa network. what i hate is that my old hd2 runing android was getting about 1.2 mbps average and the hd2 is supposed to have data problems. so i assumed that when i switch to the g2 the speeds would be even faster(or at least the same), but instead the speeds are lower.
I can't connect to 4g even thought I live in orlando. I only can connect to 3g. I'm using the newest royalmiui. I didn't have any 4g problems untill I flashed royalthunder then I only got 3g all the times. The speedtests I do show 3g speeds. Any help is much appreciated

Try a full wipe including formatting system and boot and reflash your Rom. Also make sure that your Rom supports 4G

I can't format boot in the new recovery. I have done a full wipe for every rom I flashed. All 4g roms. I'm gonna do it again when I get home to see what happens
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Maybe the 4G tower is down? I'm not sure if roms have to be specially made to support HSPA+ because a) HSPA+ is the same technology as 3G so it should be backwards compatible; and b) the HSPA+ chip in the mytouch is only 14.4 mbps which is the fastest HSPA(3G) chip, not 21 which is HSPA+. I think.

check your coverage map on tmobile.com I have had the same issue and I almost started flaming rom cookers... even on cm7 I get 3g speeds. turns out the part of town I live in has low 4g coverages. Usually stock roms only have the H or H+ icon on the framework. so even when you're on 3g it shows H, even when you're on 4g it shows H. on custom roms notice you have 3 different icons. (or 4) H, 3g, EDGE, (GPRS)
H stands for 4g. mostly on custom roms this shows up when there is STRONG 4g signals
3g shows up all the time even though if a stock similar device such as another mytouch or a g2 shows H.
and edge/ gprs is self explanatory.
some roms may come with kernels that may have botched LIBS that prevent 4g connection (ie cooked roms from european phones like- desire HD etc...). get a friends phone that is similar IE a vibrant 4g, g2 or a mytouch and run speed tests using the OOKLA app on market. You will get the same results when his **** shows H and when your **** shows 3g.
Oh and they and you will be surprised at how much cell carriers lie to us about coverage
I live in North Houston and I can get full 4g speeds 2% of my usage times per month
I did this the other day with similar WHITE MYTOUCHES, one was bone STOCK no root, and one was root with cm 7- royal ginger 1.5

I live in Orlando Florida so my 4g coverage is beyond great lol. I had the galaxy s 4g and I never seen 3g on it. I kno this is a older device so 4g won't be as great as the sgs4g but it dosent mean I shouldn't pick it up at all

Call it dial-up, call it hand signals, call it morse code. If you are getting 9 down 2 up you are making 99% of t-mobile users jealous. Simple as that.
Lol... I have to drive 1.5 miles just to get cell service to make a regular cell call. Wifi calling is the only way I can use my phone.
Living in the woods at the base of a mountain kinda kills your cell reception.
