if u have slowwww 3g and 4g speed,just call sprint and have them reset your data on our plan. I try everything I can get my hand on and nothing would work. before I would get 200 to 500 kb and after 1.2 to 2.0 MB. let me know if it worked for u...

what do you mean by "have them reset your data"?
tell them that u are having problem with data that ur phone drops calls and u don't get txt, the update profile on ur phone does nothing but update the phone,when u flash difference roms to ur phone, ur data gets wak. so just tell them to reset ur data
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
yea i just tried that, three different reps had no idea what "reset your data" meant. Ive been through every single fix they can do, I've never once heard of "resetting your data"...
when u call *2 the operator ask you if you have data problems. press 4 with problem can't receive or send txt, that that take u to data support and just tell them that u can't receive text or send txt. then they will ask u, to take our battery out. I thought they were throwing me, but they don't do that... trust me it works here's another picture of my test. results don't lie
It will slow down again an again. It's no different then rebooting a PC.
A fresh boot will be faster the bog down later on. You can always turn off your mobile network on your phone and wait ten minutes then turn it back on and you will get the same results.
Plus there is always ##3282# if you have your phones MSL code and you can do what they did.
I have read 1000 of thing to do to get fast speed even use the Verizon prl 0001, but all that got me was a bill 250 buck and my bill is normally 72.18 month every month...I test it with my girl friends evo 4g in the same place and her phone we always 10x faster then mine "hers is not rooted" until I got this done. here is a picture of before and after

PRL just tells your phone what towers it can roam off of mainly and any new towers in your home network.
I would try that and nothing same slow speed

Thanks OP but this is not really a fix but a mere band aid. That has been done for quite some time now going back to my windows mobile days. As another member has mentioned it might be good for a while but it will go back. Hopefully for you it does not and you get lucky and have great speeds. Personally my data has been refreshed at least a half dozen times.... Thanks for your input and good luck.
Also like previously mentioned you can try the ##3282# method its the same effect...
I hope, but like I stated before. that wouldnt work. I have try everything "##3282# and hit restore and commit and reboot. my girl friends evo is not rooted and she would get 10x faster 3g then my rooted evo 4g. everytime i use a different rom my 3g gets really slow.

Hey if it works for you then go ahead and enjoy but I have been in Sprint store and ran speed test alongside my Evo and no difference sometimes mine higher sometimes theres is higher. Hey if it agrees with your Evo then go for it. Just saying its not exactly a fix across the board... Also Verizon as much as I dont like them I dont think we will get that speed unless you live under a tower...IMO
you might be right! but I was like everyone else only getting 200 450 kbs and now! I live in san bernidino CA, and now!

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 ****.

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

Hi everyone, I am in a bit of a quagmire. I have an evo, on boost which was working very well. For some reason, i started to get connection errors, and for a while I struggled with error 67 and 104's. Got past that. Problem is that my 3g speed and connectivity suck, and by that I mean 900+ pings and .11-.13 in speedtest, not to mention the disconnecting. Sounds like a PRL issue right? Updated that yesterday (manually through cdma workshop obviously since im on boost) and still nothing, same speeds. Is this a settings issue? Is there something I am doing wrong? I am on a stock sense with root.
I am seriously considering selling the phone at this point. My iphone never gave me this kind of grief on simple.

Well then that's probably his problem, as the Evo is not meant to run on boost. Hacking it to run on another network is bound to give you problems.

And again, if you read the data speeds thread, you would see that this EXACT thing happens to many people. Some people will have normal data speeds for a few days, then dial-up speeds for a few days.
I'd say try updating your data profile if you were on sprint...but boost...no idea
I have updated my profile many times with no change. I agree that it may be something software (or EVO) related because I did simultaneous side-by-side speed tests on my son's Hero and my EVO, both on 3g with the same signal strength. The Hero was getting dowloand speeds 3-4 times faster than my EVO. I repeated many times with similar results.
Try that 1)phone>##3282#>edit mode (must now your MSL passcode)>data profile>push menu button>restore>commit mode....that's it. worked for me

Sprint is in a transition phase to LTE and in the process has stopped improving backhaul and deploying new 4G. If any Sprint employee wants to disagree with this I would invite you to leak some info, because we haven't had a network related news update since December 2010 that mentions there network status.

What is so good about LTE?

so if we want out of sprint we can flash to vz prl list and they kick you off i am sooooo done with sprint love the phone but omg sprint come the hell on i cant even get 1 bar or .56 mbps in my town and thats on a good day most times i get .17 mbps last time i looked .56 is dial up speed
I still don't understand how the let go works but I'm done is all I know, I'm half tempted to just say screw em and not pay! That's how mad I am about their BS network

They'll kick you off if you roam more than 80% of the time but it'll take a couple of months before they decide to do that. I'm in great sprint coverage and I only pay 30 bucks a month for service so I can't complain... they'll never take this plan from me!!!

I've never seen that message before, i've had tmo for quite some time and even went over 5GB before. I would turn on 2G, for a few moments, then return to 3G/4G, and speeds should be fine.
I just get upset when I hear you guys say I don't get throttled or when I get throttled I get a decent speed.. now am in new York city. I don't know where you guys are from but its just frustrating to see others get throttled to decent speed and others not getting throttled.. Damn feel like am missing out.. when I get throttled the most I get when I run speed test is 60kbs. Either from edge to 4g..as gas as network modes goes, I use 2g when am running Pandora, when surfing and downloading I use 4g.

For an HTC One V with Cricket (yes, because of budget issues). I still plan on keeping the EVO, and will even donate it to developers of needed. But my question is, besides the One V, what other HTC no-contract phones do you think I would enjoy after all my time with the supersonic? Something I can modify with OC and UV and sound mods. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and again, hit me up if a dev needs a perfectly working EVO! Thanks.

You'd be better off getting a samsung device, less hassle to root and more development due to the easier rooting. Plus all the samsung devices are selling way more than htc now. Lots of ppl have come from the evolte to the sgs3 or note 2 from terrible reception and lte > 3g/wifi handoff issues where the data just drops out til a reboot.
I like to break stuff!
The cricket service on the 3vo is way better than sprint. My of evo gets 1.5 on 3g and the 3vo usually gat about 2.2 on 3g. Yes rooting is a pain but has gotten easier with a bootable CD ROM. Plus for around 100 for a used one with bad ESN how can you go wrong.

I hope you flashed it yourself. When ever you change your number you have to open qpst and change it in there also to get you data to work. Now before you change anything you will want to make sure you read from the phone and then save that information on the pc. I normally call it whatever the old phone number was. Then you want to make sure you write down the IMSI_S number. It is in the cdma tab. Now go through the tabs and change all the old numbers to the new one. Then go back to the cdma tab and make sure the IMSI_S number is correct and then save that profile. Now write to your phone and once it reboots you will have data again.
I got a one v for my gf. its decent. screen is a little small and dont like the sealed battery. sound is good because of the beats audio. as far as rooting, not sure. she wont let me touch it

If you want to, you can keep using your EVO on Ting (a Sprint MVNO). Ting allows you to BYOD and I've brought two EVOs over without any problems. No overage penalties and refunds for what you don't use.
If you don't use tons of data (or are always within range of wifi), it can be very cheap. If you stream movies all day, it'll cost you an arm and a leg, though.
Think of it as the open-source carrier.
