3G Data wonky in Denver
Having 3G issues here in Denver... both on my EVO and my wife's EVO Shift. We're both in different parts of town during the day.
I came back home to get some work done and 3G seems to be working just fine over our Airave device.

Its working on the wife's evo, but I cant update my profile (error 1012).
I'm getting emails, im able to get into and browse the market, but I cant download apps, and I cant browse the net. Very odd.

Had the same problem and 4G was slow along with market problems. Thought it was my phone

Problems here in Denver too. Specifically with the market.
We're comin from a pure power source.

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

3g data speed sux.

Is anyone else experiencing slow 3g speeds? Iam talking about speeds like 15-70kbps down. Ever since two weeks ago the data speed here in Wisconsin is so slow its retarded. Just wondering if this is happening elsewhere.
Yes I've tried different roms, kernnel, and phones. Pri,prl,radios are all up to dated also.

yes I tried. They hung up on me once and I got disconnected a few times after that. So I went in to the sprint store and ask, they said that their 4g is down and everyone on 4g is pushed over to the 3g network so that's why its slows. But it sounded like BS, cause Theres no 4g hete in Wisconsin

I been having 3G issues all day too here in Delaware, but strangely 4G has been working flawless for me
EVO on Tapatalk
I'm by the Michigan Ohio border, and I have had this problem for over 2 months now. At home and where I work, I'm less than a block from a tower at both locations, and used to get about 2000kbps down and 1500kbps up consistantly. About 2 months ago, it got horrible. On average, I get around 40kbps down and 10kpbs up. Sometimes it doesnt work at all. This happens anywhere I go. But, once in a while I would get normal speeds, usually only early in the morning, then the rest of the day/night it would be bad again.
After spending hours on the phone with sprint, refreshing the network, and doing 2 factory resets, they decided it was a hardware problem. I took the phone in, they agreed, and gave me a brand new evo. For a few days, it worked better, not as good as it was, but better at least. Then a few days later it got worse again.
I have since done 3 factory resets, had engineers from sprint come out, and they say everythings fine. Whats weird, the other day I was at a friends house, who only gets verizon signal at his house. While roaming on the verizon towers, I got normal speeds again, around 1800kbps down. So obviously there isnt a problem with the phone again, as the 3g seems to work fine there. I have been calling sprint every few days, and they have no clue whats going on, they say nobody else in the area has called in about this.
I'm giving this another month, and then I'm permanently leaving sprint. Data is the main thing I use my phone for, and I cant load webpages or stream pandora.
Sorry for the long rant haha but I thought I would let you know I'm having the same problem.
socal here
me and my gf's epic are having HORRIBLE 3g speeds..100-200 kbps...I used to have ~800..its been like that for around 2 weeks now...last saturday i went to la puente california and speeds out there were ok..~600kbps...but where i live and where I work..3g speeds are pure crap...

4G is getting slower...any ideas what it could be?

My EVO used to record 4G speeds anywhere from 8Mbps to 13Mbps here in Brooklyn, NY.
Noticed it didn't seem as fast the past few weeks and Speedtest shows im only getting around 2.5-3Mbps.
I've tried a bunch of stuff and nothing has seemed to help.
Updated to lastest radios - Check
Update profile - Check
Check for RSA Keys - Check (have them)
My phone shows as having full 4G reception but the speed is just not there
My 3g speeds are also realllly reallly slow (around 0.5-0.9Mbps)
Please help me figure out whats up
Maybe more users are connecting to the 4g now.

Iz stealing your 4G's..
Seriously there seems to have been a problem with the network today, was having an issue connecting to 4G in NJ, but once I got to midtown I was getting a connection, and decent data rates.
I was in Tampa last week and was getting about 3.5 down. That was the first time I got to use 4G so I don't know what speeds there have been like.

its because they are systematically replacing all the towers and infrastructure with the new upgraded equipment so that they can announce an industry first 1gb/s speed on feb7!!!
4G on Sprint anyway is so damn overated.
Had galaxy s for a while on TMobile.... and it was faster consistantly on 3G than my Evo on 4G. Don't even try then and match Evdoh to any other 3G.
Sorry... doesn't help your issue, I know.

Weak WiFi Hotspot and 3G

Is anybody else experiencing weak WiFi signal in hotspot mode? Any way to boost the signal or change the WiFi channel?
I just got my EVO Shift last week. I really like the speed and funtionality much better than my old Hero.
My 3G signal seems much weaker than I had with the Hero. I'm dropping calls and data connections in loacations where I never have before.
I guess I should take the phone in to a store and have the Techs check the radios. 4G radio works pretty good, though it too doesn't get the throughput that my Sprint Overdrive did.

I finally got my phone in to the Sprint shop so they could run some diagnostics on the radios and they tell me its fine... I know its not, but I'll try to be patient and wait until at least the first major update to the phone before I make a rwal stink about it.
Is anybody else experiencing weeker signal levels for voice & data with the Shift? I'm dropping calls and data connections in places I never used to. Plus the signal output in hotspot mode is weak as well. I can be 10 feet from it with my tablet and only get 2 or 3 bars on my wifi signal level.

If all you want to do is bring up your 3G speeds. Do the mod on THIS post. It should fix the issue for you.
Anyway to improve 3G speeds on AOSP?
Evo SHIFT
Just flash back to a Sense rom. Make the changes, then flash back to AOSP.

I do believe if you flash to sense, then go back, it has to be a new rom flash, not a nandroid, otherwise it restores those settings from the nandroid, not the changes you made in the sense rom.
You are correct . See now that I forgot to mention that .

Sprint's 4G outage in the New York area, at least

My cellphone's internet stopped working. I had the 4G status icon and 4 great bars, but the browser, twitter, market, still would not work. After pulling out the battery several times, playing with the settings, etc. I turned 4G off and then all of a sudden the cell worked on 3G.
I showed up at the Sprint store and they told me "....hmmm, you know, the satellites,... you know.... are not working...... mine doesn't work neither...." (sic) It was true. The salesperson's EVO wasn't working either.
OK. they showed me a terminal screen stating that 4G was not working as expected, they were preforming tests.
The problem is that for about an hour I thought my phone had gone bad, until it occurred to me that I should turn 4G off. Then it worked, slow, but it worked. (to tell you the truth, I even went back to factory settings).
I told them that out of courtesy, they should send affected costumers a SMS or email advising about the 4G outage.
I noticed the same thing. Didn't realize it was because of an outage though. What's weird is that 4g service worked great via the hotspot. Just not on the handset. Weird, right?
I don't know what you are talking about....I'm in NYC and 4g is working fine for me ....I am using it right now.
I am on cm7 but that shouldn't make a difference.

yes, that's what I mean. You get the 4G icon and you think everything is fine. But it works only partially, so it's hard to realize that you need to disable 4G in order to get the internet working...

It worked for me again for 30 minutes then the internet (browser) wouldn't work again, so I disabled 4G again. It wasn't working for any of the guys at the Sprint store. So it must be on and off. I also asked them when was this outage going away, they couldn't answer. they just told me if I go to another tower (area) it might work.
It wouldn't turn on for me today around 4. I needed it to refresh my twitter faster so I can get free UFC tix from Dana lol but I didn't get crap

Same here- I work in midtown (east 50s); for the past couple of days, 4G has been intermittent at best (for me, whether on the handset, via wireless tether or via easytether)- but today, it just went out altogether. shows as connected and getting 2 or even 3 bars, but it won't connect to email, browser etc. when using the speednet app, I usually get time outs (999ms ping), but occasionally will go thru and get about 2 down/1 up (vs 5-7 down when working).
I guess I'd be a lot more pissed off about it if I hadn't picked up a Thunderbolt this morning... as much as I like Sprint and my Evo, that damn LTE has got some serious speed to it.

I was having the same issue in Chicago this morning. Seems to be working as of about 15 mins ago though.
I've been having problems in downtown Columbus, OH for about 12 hours now. Couldn't connect to it last night to update my Facebook (I was at a hockey game). My GPS still worked though, as I'm an avid Foursquare user.
Hope Sprint gets this fixed soon, if I wanted only 3g I'd have stuck with one of the Desire Z roms
Ok now I'm getting the 4g issues. I'm in S.I. and my 4g works but speeds have dropped from close to 1mbps to 200-300kbps....
Did anyone's 4g get fixed in NYC? ....mine is still really slow...its actually just as fast as my horrible 3g speeds
Still having horrible 4g in NYC ...I did a chat support with Sprint ....they told me to do a profile update ....which did not help....then the Rep said they sent some provisioning over the air to my phone which did not help either.....is anyone else still having slow 4g in NYC or is it just me???
NYC reception in general
So all this talk about a AT&T taking over of Tmobile has brought me to Sprint as my new carrier. Ill be picking up the EVO 4G. Can anyone tell me how there reception is in and around the city "NYC/Queens"? In general is there good 4G reception.
Thanks.
I've never had good 4g here in Canarsie, Brooklyn.
Ok finally sprint fixed something......my 4g speed are back I'm getting 1000+kBps
Anyone recently have any issues in NYC with their evos on 4G? I haven't been able to connect for almost a week. I called Sprint yesterday and they said they are having 4G issues. They gave me a $25 credit for my inconvinience. Hell all I want is my coverage back on.
