Oh sh*t!!

I woke up this morning and looked at my phone and it was doing a PRL update on its own. Im thinkin.. ok this is strange. So when it updated my phone rebooted. I'm thinking WTF is Sprint up to. Well, when it got done I ran a speedtest. Odd thing is, my PRL still shows 60676 in the about phone, but check out my 3G data speed now.

I havent seen speeds like this here since like October. I wonder did they add a new tower by me or something??

YOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ummm you sure your not using an airave?

I dont have an air rave.

Here's a speedtest done tethered through my laptop. I'm not sure WTF happened overnight but damn.

Now the question is, is it going to stay consistent like this. But im pretty amazed so far I have to admit.

I was running CM7 and saw this thread so I decided to check it out, about 0.6Mb up and down. Flashed into Sense (Fresh 3.5) and now I'm getting about 1.2 down and still about 0.6 up.

Yeah, I'm running Destroyer with 60677 and just got 51k down and 61k up. Sometimes I can get 1.8 - 2 down, but almost never on AOSP.

How many bars do you have? Have you done the fix to get rid of the proxy? Possibly start running script manager with the turbo 3g script. Let me run a speed test and ill let you know my.speeds.
Edit: speed test isn't connecting right now but ill try later and get a screenshot of my speeds

I get between .8 & 1 mbps down with one to two bars on MIUI. I assume that's average, but I rarely use 3G, I'm usually on wifi.
Sent from my Evo + MIUI using Tapatalk!

I use get almost 1.5 Mbps near my home. Since last Nov, I'm lucky to get 200Kbps down and 480Kbps up. That's right, faster up then down. I guess Sprint thinks my EVO is a server. In the same area I have 4bars.
I'm not looking forward to the IPhone stooges looking for unlimited data.

Speed test app is being stupid and won't locate a server for me. However, at home in the boondocks with an airrave I get 1.3mb down and like 350 kb up. When I'm in town (20 miles from home, lol) I get probably 600-1000 kb down and 150-400 kb up.

Try this if you haven't already. Props to avalaunchmods for posting this. This should help.

As we all know, HTC and Sprint borked downloads for apps like Rhapsody, Mog, Thumbplay.
I recently ran across the subject and i found a fix. It is very simple.
1. Get your MSL, There are many ways, call Sprint, Download the app MSL Reader from the market, CDMA workshop
2. After you have your MSL go to your phone and type ##3282#
3. Click Edit Mode
4. Click Advanced
5. Scroll down to HTTP PD Proxy Port & HTTP PD Proxy Address
6. Change HTTP PD Proxy Port to 0 (zero)
7. Change HTTP PD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0
8. Go enjoy Downloads and a .20-.60 mbps increase in 3G speeds!
-All credit to original finder of this fix, i am just passing it along and found the speed increase. Also when you flash a new rom it will back to old settings so remember to re-apply and it wont make you more vulnerable to anything.

funny thing is i tried that and only to find out my evo already came with those settings. just unrooted and got s-on again so i could return it to sprint. ever since i got my evo about a week ago reception been fine then all of a sudden for the past two days its been on 1x it hardly ever gets 3g now, and when it does its just for a split second. is that normal for sprint, only reason i ask is i mainly use my verizon phone for calls and such.

[Q] Extremely low 3G speed in Bay area?

Hi There,
I'm in south bay area (San Jose, Mountain View). Recently I started to check my 3G speed using SpeedTest.net app. I usually get around 100kbps down and up. The highest down I got today is 130kbps. Is it normal? I saw others can get 500k or even > 1M. If you are in the same area, would you please post your speedtest results? Thanks!

Welcome to Sprint's "blazing fast" network. I haven't gotten above 100kbps since last November. Before that, I would pull 2mbps easily.

Jealous of you guys pulling 100kbps. In downtown Omaha, NE....I am lucky to hit 24kbps on Sprint's blazing fast unlimited network.

Good lord, and I thought I was getting slow service, but I get at least 1-1.5mbps typically. Used to be significantly faster. Sprint's Vision plan really needs to get into action.

Same here in San Jose close to Oakridge

how strong of a signal is giving you those low speeds ?

real close to 85\blossom hill. This was the best of the average. Switched to CM7 today but had the same results on stock 4.53 with profile and prl updated yesterday.

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago, where my phone wouldn't get above 200kbps, no matter where I was in town. Doing a profile and PRL update didn't do anything, so I called up Sprint to see what was up. Nothing wrong with the towers, so they transferred me to a higher level tech. I was thinking "uh-oh" at this point, because I'm running Synergy RLS1. She had me reset some stuff, so the phone would go through hands-free activation and check for a PRL update. It didn't work exactly like she expected, I still didn't mention the custom ROM Had to enter my phone #, and another phone # manually to get it to work. After clearing the browser caches for some weird reason, boom, it runs like normal again. PRL remained the same, but oddly my profile email address was different. It had been the same email for at least a year now, maybe longer.

What is the normal speed? Thanks!

I'm near 85/camden, in between a few pc's even, and I can't seem to post a SS so it's 1149down and 857up. 119ms to Palo Alto. This is the middle of the pack from the servers I tried.
Uh and I just flashed back to stock sprint to do updates and... hmm go fig?

On a side note, it's kind of cool how many of us live in the same area.

Anyone seeing improved 3G speeds?

With the start of Sprint's "Network Vision" multi-modal cell site build out, I, like many others are hoping that means faster 3G speeds.
I understand coverage will improve, theoretically speed should too. It's still very early on in the new development, but has anyone seen faster speeds?

I haven't seen any improvement. I don't think many are. Check out the boards on sprint's website. Nothing but negative vibes.
Sent form EVO using taptalk!!!

Nope, still maxing out at 150kbps here.

After seeing this i figured i'd unplug my airave. Before i would only get 2bars @ about 200kbps. Now i have 5 bars and 1.4mbps. Set to sprint only with the latest radio files. This data increase is new

My speeds in NC had been 1Mb/s and faster until late last week, now they are always less than 400Kb/s Down and 30Kb/s Up. Tonight it's much slower on the download side. Sprint really has to kick NV in to high gear or lose a lot of customers soon.

Me too but I'm in the middle of nowhere sharing a tower with about 20 houses in its range after 1am til about 5am I can get over 3mbps. We just had an infrastructure upgrade and a new tower in the last week cuz some dumbass truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and smashed thru the tower. Last night I had 2.2mbps upload and 4.1 down while tethering according to my network monitor
Edit: and I was on 3g cuz we don't have 4g yet, apparently they put the hardware in while replacing the tower but have not activated it for use yet. Although on a few occasions I have been able to connect to 4g in the last week probably while Sprint had it powered for "testing"

I got half a Mb down and up on "4g" with stock radio....

my speeds are still good but they are slower slightly. I wonder if Tmo is getting congested with the new monthly 4G plan
Sent from my HTC MyTouch 4G using XDA

There are a couple of things you can try for slow data speeds. A different radio/RIL pair may help, and you might also try the rcdata.img fix for TMO. First post in the Sensation radio/RIL thread has more info. I do not know if it is compatible with the MyTouch, we just figured it out for the Sensation. It is flashed through bootloader with a PG58IMG.zip file that contains a file named rcdata.img. There are two different versions, then you match a build.prop setting to it.

check it out

My speeds were around 4mbps when I first got '4G' but now I don't even get 1mbps. I think its stupid to be paying for something you dont get.
