Lmao. Could it be a network issue? I have full signal but the speeds are terrible. Sprint better convert to LTE!

Already a thread about it, but it's mainly for 3G. Some people were saying 4G is affected too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933900

He's clearly on 4g with full signal bars.
My 4g speeds are hit and miss here in San Antonio, Tx. At home I used to get 10-12Mbps. Now I usually get 5-8Mbps. Here at work I used to get close to 5Mbps with 1 - 2 signal bars. Sometimes I barely get 1Mbps with the same signal, other times it is pushing barely 3Mbps. My signal strength hasn't increased or decreased significantly at least.

Again, there is already a thread about slow data on Sprint here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933900
It's a nationwide issue.

I miss being in 4g coverage. It was basically wifi on the go.
Although the latency would make it respond a second or so later..

Current 3G speed is 1307/533 with only 3/6 bars
4G is 2050/1075

I drove truck across country both 4g and 3g speeds varied depending on population density and even that sometimes didn't matter. Now I sit at home and rarely use 3g 4g doesn't exist but of course we pay for it....It's like paying a huge bill for something I rarely use..At home I'm on wifi.

wireless tether
My friend's tether works with 3g -- he can get on his phone's 3g network wirelessly and wired, but he can't do it with 4g on. Anyone can help?

"4G" on Sprint is an absolute joke. The fact that they make us pay for it is detestable. I kinda knew that 4G was gonna suck, I just wanted the Epic really bad. What can I say? I'm a glutton for punishment. LOL

the seriously you're better off going to another carrier. I like sprint, yes the 4g speeds are not as consistent as I would like, but most errors i see on XDA are user-based because of ignorance (i.e. restoring data from a completely different rom via CWM, SMH), which i believe you have plenty of. Do some fact checking and you'll see that Sprint has the best data plans for the money available.
Stop *****ing and go to Verizon.

It's a whole lot less cluttering when you post the speed.....we honestly don't care/need a screen shot when a (3G xxx / xxx) format works 1000x better

For the third time, yes it's a network issue. And yes there's already a thread about it. First page.

i fix my problem with mines. i just turned of my phone for about 15minutes. now iam back to 5-6mbps. for a few days i was at 1-2mbps.

well the only time I tried 4G was at CES - and it was slower then the 3G - and since Sprint dont have it anywhere but they still always advertise it all the time around my town and its not even in this state!
that sucks almost as much as waiting between posts and just to post in the development section

Dont know if this helps, but it did me...
All these roms are developed in their own home...so the PRL is not for your surrounding area....
I live in New York, so when I did a test at speedtest.net it showed me in Kansas...I updated my PRL and my location was back in NY and my test speed doubled.
Does this make sense?

If there was any question about EF02 4G speeds...

Even though the WiMax baseband radio is still DH24 on the Epic, I believe the rest of the newer RIL code makes a dfference. My best 4G speed test I've ever gotten was around 7Mbps at Arrowhead Stadium, which I believe has its own dedicated WiMax MBSS. I decided to do a test in Overland Park with full 4G signal. Here is the result, and multiple tests were in the same ballpark:

They have... He just didn't hit it as you notice he hit 1.1 its raised before max was 1 so its raised.

Uh, no, I posted that. It is definitely throttled at 1 Mbps. While it says 1.10, it says that because their QOS implementation has to normalize the throughput until it is steadily at 1 Mbps. Since this is a cellular technology, their base station can compensate for signal quality variations by changing modulation and symbols per second to achieve the desired throughput.

Maybe not for u but the other day I got 1.32 upload. Never capped above 1.08 or so prior to this release... besides like I tell my verizon friends who tout about there phone getting close to 20mbs per second.... what server do u know that's going to give u downlod speeds above 2 or maybe 3mbs...
And what r u uploading that the extra 500 kbs is gonna. Make or break it

i've been hitting 1.48 constantly recently so it has been raised

Well, I should hope Overland Parks gets some great 4G performance, otherwise how fail would it be for Sprint to have a **** signal where their headquarters is? I'm just jealous because I'm forced to still rock 3G except when I go down to Arrowhead 8-9 times a year.

lol your argument was "those ****ers" hadnt raised the cap, they have. now lets let this pointless thread die

This was the best speed i've ever seen on 4g here in Irvine, CA. i only had 2 bars of 4g service. I'm running Simply ASOP v3.1.1 (Froyo 2.2.1 Build) with the EF02 modem.
In other areas around OC, i'm seeing upwards of 1.9M download on 3g with full signal. Much higher than i've seen before. I'm not sure what the baseline is though, for 3g speeds.

Increased 3g speeds?

After 2 days having major issues with my 3G Im now getting speeds over 1mb. This never happened in this area. Not sure if there were upgrades or something but i'll take it. I used to get around 300k on a good day and about 700 very late at night.

I just noticed the same thing this morning. I am also getting INSANE battery life (must be due to receiving a good signal from the towers now ??)..

EDIT: consistently getting 900k - 1M downstream (finally) and approx. 200k upstream.. much better it seems...

I am also getting over 1mb inside my office where I only used to get 250 to 500k.

You must not like iPhones... Sprint's 3G speeds have been getting progressively worse over the past year and I'd say it probably due to free smartphone promos (e.g., free Evos through Radio Shack--I know three people that got them for free) than iPhones. Sprint knows about it and is doing something about it. I don't remember where I read the article (I just googled it and unfortunately couldn't find it) where it states that Sprint is improving their infrastructure. I flashed back to Froyo because I thought that might be the problem and my speeds did increase for a while and then dropped back. Just be patient.

Here's my "normal" speeds... I was getting faster speeds on dial-up back in 1995. This has happened in my area since last November. Before that, I could easily pull 2mbps all day and all night.
Everyone else with this problem, do your speeds increase late night/early morning? Between about 2am and 6am, I can pull about 1.3mbps, but during the day or any other time, I can NEVER get above 100kbps. Obviously this shows that the towers are just overloaded, and not broken, as Sprint keeps claiming.

Just did this test, also using 3g turbocharger script

Sorry to hear you are having 3G issues. My 3G shot up about a month ago from about 0.3m to more than 1.0m. I have never had anything below 0.1m unless I was roaming on Verizon. Now I'm pretty much above 1.0m with occasional slow downs, but still over 0.3m when slow.

The iPhone is not going to slow down the network anymore than any android phone.
Sprints data sucks!!!!!!

Is Wimax actually getting better in your area?

Is it my imagination or are speeds improving as more power users abandon the Evo for non-Wimax devices?
I'm now getting 8 megs in a place where I was barely able to connect a year ago.
(Network Vision rollout probably has something to do with this, I know, but I still believe it has to do with fewer users overall..)
And my best reception area has improved from 8 to over 10.

Actually, you're right to mention the flip side of improved 4G: rapidly deteriorating 3G. Maybe a lot of Evo LTE power users are saturating their local 3G networks waiting for Sprint to light up LTE in their areas. Cause around here at least it's just getting ridiculous. See screen shot - can you guess which speeds are 4G and which ones are 3G?

I guess so...it just isn't consistent with those speeds. One test rendered 10mbps and the very next was 5. 5 has always been the average here in Nashville, Tennessee.

I live in the heart of my city and its suppose to have 4g, I don't get it at home. If I travel 11 miles to work in the burbs I get 4g.
I haven't noticed wimax speeds increase but I have seen 3g get a boost. Hopefully that means wimax is next as lte is getting setup.
