i hope they do that soon here. Thats how 3g was before the EVO and Epic came out with "4g"
although 4g definitely is a lot better these days...i get 8mb/s with a ping of ~50...Its NEVER dipped below 190 until a week ago.
Whatever this network vision thing is, im liking.
Now hopefully they can fix the problem where i go from 3 bars to 0 when i send a text or make a call and then get my bars back AFTER i hang up -_-

I was in Corpus Christi, TX the last few days. I remember the first night I got about 1.2Mbps dl and the next days or two I could barely get 100kbps. On the last day the speeds went back up. I'm pretty sure it was just my modem being lame (EG22).
Judging from similar topics in the past few months, this improvement seems to be the trend.

I don't think they have anywhere to go but up...its at rock bottom already.
If I remember right, a few months ago my signal and speed turned to complete crap. I tether while I'm at work so I can see the difference, and it was SLOOOOOWWWWWW.
About a month after that all of a sudden my 3g speeds jumped up and, most of the time, it's like I'm using the internet at home (aside of the random hiccups in speed). Now I'm hoping for 4g soon in my area

Pretty sure that is the Radio in your phone crashing and has nothing to do with Sprint's network. What Radio and ROM are you using? There have been known problems regarding this with the Gingerbread radios... EG22 still has this problem on my phone although not as frequently.

I have a Evo. Unfortunately 4G is acting like a "B" also :-(

Mine went down to here in Cincinnati OH, right in the middle of streaming the game. (4g picked it right back up though)
I had full bars, and without moving I had nothing for a good 10 minutes before deciding to switch to the battery-draining 4g.

For future reference - do you have a direct number for them, or is it the usual "I want to speak to level two"?
Even Sprint employees don't have a direct line for them, they got rid of that last year. That being said, the EVOs were having data connectivity issues, and somehow it expanded into the Epic, Moment and Hero as well, but in a more limited scope.
Anyone know how to increase network reception within the phone? My messaging is always shotty and it drives me nuts! Messages wont send on first attempt. I have to retry them and the person gets them twice. I always reboot or jump into airplane mode but its annoying as ****. Apparently the service on amy home isn't too good since it happens to my sisters intercept and her boyfriends evo but not like it hits me. Help!!! O usuallu undermind it thinking its sprint but im starting to suspect the radio now.. my old nokia candy bar pos had better reception 10 fold compared to these devices nowadays.

There is a thread on here for how to make 4g reception better. If I recall it had tips for 3g too. Your nokia was a gsm phone most likely. Way different from your sprint cdma phone in penitration of buildings
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Call up Sprint and complain about coverage and tell them you are going to cancel. They will send you a free Airave that you hook up to your router. Basically a small cell tower that covers the inside of your house and some outside. I've had one for over 2 years and it wouldn't go without it.
I will tell you one thing about the Airave that you have to get used to. There is a small (but noticable) delay when you are using it. You say hello, and it takes a second to a second and a half for the other party to hear you. Sometimes I say "hello?" twice just as they answer me once.
If you're rooted you can purchase roam control from the market. That'll put your phone on constant roaming and hopefully give you better reception

Its definitely thhe radio. On my hero I got 3g speeds of 3-5mb/s and always hadservice. Now I get 2 bars where I had 5. And sometimes I'll have allvmy bars until I make a call or send a text, then suddenly I'll have no service and everything fails, but when I hang up or back out the message app I get all my service back -_- sprints really annoying me. Everyone gets servicein my house but me.
My friend has an iphone andhe gets 3g full bars att
My friend with a MT3G (yes the original non 3.5mm having one) gets HSPA with full bars! As well as my friend with his HD2 and another with a droid x. I'm always told how great the service is in my house until they see MY signal

As much as I love my NS4G, I would be willing to trade it for a EVO in a few months, based on these things:
If there isnt any sort of update to address reception issues.
If the Photon's bootloader is locked
How many issues the 3D ends up having.
I obviously dont want to take a step back going to the EVO, but I really dont want to be stuck with a POS either. I have a sprint tower a few blocks from my house and have to have my airave plugged in for my phone to work in my house. Thats unacceptable. I was a little more ok with it a few weeks ago when I figured an update would be right around the corner. Every day that goes by makes me doubt that it is anything an update can fix. I really want the Photon, I love Moto devices. I had the Droid 2 and the Droid X and both were very solid phones with great radios and battery life. I expect more of the same from the Photon. But if its locked I dont think it will work for me. The 3D will be a buggy device for quite a while and I dont really want to deal with that, I just sold my Thunderbolt because of the issues it had.
I guess my point is to be patient, someone will want to make that trade eventually, maybe with some cash included also
A tree took my cable wire out yesterday. I had no internet, so no airave. Well, my NS4G was completely useless til they came and fixed the internet. I had to sit outside to use the phone. Wouldn't even send a text.
You sure you want this phone?

I too have noticed slightly lower signal reception... however at work I would be stuck on 1x or no service on my EVO... with the NS4G I always have service, even if it's roaming.
Yea, don't get me wrong, I live in a basement apartment so every phone sucks down here. But I didn't have the airave til about a week before I got my NS4G and my Evo and epic both worked, the Evo better than the epic. NS4G won't work at all down here. I left for work this morning and got flooded with emails and text messages that weren't coming through because I had no service.

I just found a spot near my local Publix where I was getting 3 and 4 bars of signal with WiMax, which I rarely ever see in my city.
I speed tested and was consistently getting 16-18mbps down and around 3mbps up.
I'm curious to see how that compares with what everyone else is getting on Sprint's 4g network.

Sprint's 4g is pretty good here in Cincinnati. I get about 6-7mbs down and 1 up at my apartment with one bar, but when I go outside I get about 10-12mbs down and 2 up with 3-4 bars.
Here is a screenshot. I wasn't on wifi, I was in the middle of a parking lot.
I wasn't getting 3mbps up here, but I have before.

mine has definitely improved within about the last two weeks, as well! I'm getting about 15-20% stronger signal and speed

This is good to hear. Hopefully Sprint is staying good on their word and largely improving their 3G this year.

Not necessarily, wimax upload speeds were capped. No official word that it's been removed though or made higher above 1.5. Any of you claiming higher have a screenshot?

Sprint doesn't "stomp on the brakes". They really don't throttle. I've downloaded 7 GBS today on 4G at 15mbps download and speeds have not decreased.
And no way to increase the signal from.the phone. Has to come from sprint.
