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

Doesn't it say your 4g is off on your screenshots?

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..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

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?

There were reported tornadoes all across the South last night.
And how could you fake this? Who in the hell would fake this?

Its definitely not fake. I was in my garage at 3pm changing a engine and all of a sudden the wind went balistic. It lasted all of maybe 2 minutes.
Not sure of injuries or what not. We have no power and all of our neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods are blocked off from traffic right now. I have more pictures but they do no justice.

This is something that does not happen very often. The pictures I posted are just a few, there is worse damage in other areas. I consider myself lucky on this one as I was in it but just on the outskirts of it.
Just 2 blocks over from me houses are ripped apart but all our house just got some small branches in the yard.
Fun day and during all this madness I was able to swap and engine in a jeep grand cherokee ;-)

I live in South Carolina in the Upstate, and man the WIND was ****ing CRAZY today. I could only imagine what was happening before it got here. Man, sorry to hear about your neighborhood. Hope people recover fast and things aren't down for too long for you guys.

I hope everyone is ok. That's crazy. I know my basement is flooding right now where I live from all the hard rain.

Thanks for the condolences. Its going to take a few days I assume to get power restored, just about every power pole on yadkin rd which is about a mile long are down.

It's amazing how everything can be fine one minute, and the next nature decides to unleash hell.

Did an epic cause this?

Glad everyone ok. Yeah, I'm right up the road from Yadkin too. We had power out for just an hour or two and I saw the wind and rain (freaked my puppy out) but then I heard about the devastation over there, it's crazy. I'm glad that we were spared that. Hope those affected by it are ok.

geez I am glad everything is ok. I was at a concert Friday night in Atlanta and it started hailing on us. I thought that was bad

Did you take those pics with the Epic 4g?

Sprint just got the towers back in check a few hours ago. We also got power back just a little bit ago.
I did take those pics with my epic.
So far I have heard of 10 people that didn't make it.

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:

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.

Speeds in Puerto Rico have been really slow since a couple of months ago. All my friends with Sprint have called Customer Service and they always say that they are making changes to the network and that this problem is temporary. But it have not changed! In fact its getting worse. Yesterday I was really close to a cell tower. I mean I could see the effin light on the top blinking. I could not even get roaming signal! I was not alone as my friend with an Evo and another one with a Samsung where not able to to connect either...
I am strongly considering changing to ATT... They have good Androids now and at least I would have a signal and would not have to pay 10 extra bucks...

ha ha. It means like 70+mbps download speeds, multiple carriers (meaning more bandwidth available), and moar Geez. This is differentiated from Clearwire converted sites which are also B41, however, these new 8T8R radios are the bees knees and this is what will have Sprint smoking the competition when they're all fired up......then LTE-A will come around next year with a simple flip of the switch. It's a good time to be a Sprint customer.

Not sure what that would tell you. If you want site IDs, GCIs, addresses, then head over to S4gru.com chip in a couple bucks and be amazed at the information available on the Network details.
The point of this thread is to tell people that 8T8R radios are being turned on and the speeds are amazing. I'm sure there are sites near you being turned on. Just have to get out there with Signalcheck and look. However, Signalcheck will not yet predict if you are on B41. That'd be specific to GCI output for your market, as the B41 GCIs are greater than B25/B26 by a certain value to the GCI. So there's your hint if you're an avid Signalcheck user ?

yes, I'm fully aware. Here's the thing though, currently Signalcheck can NOT predict 8T8R B41 reliably. Mike will add support once he can predict it, but he can't currently. He figured out B26 prediction, yes based on the trailing 1x or xF GCI endings. Not B41 8T8R yet for all devices. Someday he will as we learn more. Right now, engineering screens are all we have to use. Or learn the GCI pattern for your market then add 1450 to that GCI, so there's nothing Mike can do with the information he's able to access from the phone.
All this is largely irrelevant (just helps identify where your signal is originating as long as you add notes to each tower in Signalcheck), basically anything over the 27 mbps max down from B25/26 is B41.
