Haha yah may not be a big thing for you but I just wanted to share other N7000 users that we can get HSPA on T-mo
Great news. Tmobile is my fallback plan if Straight-talk decides to can me for any reason.
Even i had H+ speeds for about couple of hours in atlanta,GA...i was so happy..then the famous E showed on my statusbar....but i think its a good sign....most probably they were just tetsting....on speedtest..i got around 8mbps...

I'm in Manhattan and still only see EDGE. Are there any settings involved with accessing HSPA? Access point name hasn't changed right?
I am assuming that some of the States doesn't have H+ yet? It is amazing. When I am out I tether my N8010 to my N7000 and it runs amazing. You will love the speed!

I'm getting HSPA in Manhattan now after going into service mode to select only the 1700 and 21000 WCDMA bands, and then setting Network Mode to "WCDMA Only" in the "Wireless and Networks" menu in Settings. It still seems to hop between H and 3 quite frequently.
[EDIT]
I get the same issue of getting kicked off of T-Mobile under this setup. When I set Network Mode to "GSM/WCDMA (auto)", I stay on T-Mobile but don't get HSPA or 3G and it seems to revert to 850 band and Edge only.

Hey all,
With nothing else running, no matter what area I am in and regardless of the browser I use, I max out at 300kbps. Average is about 150kbps! I am using the mobile test from DSL reports. I am in the metro Detroit area.
When I use the same test on my iphone, I always get at least 1,800 kpbs!!
What gives? I know a 3g fix was released months ago, but that was before I got my epic.
Any suggest?
Thanks in advance,
Matt!

I know right? Is it the phone or sprint? In speedtest I get 126 kbps down.

Sprint's 3g sucks. A few days ago I took my Epic in to the ATT, T-Mobile, and Verizon stores around. I did side by side tests with the Ookla speed test app on phones with similar hardware to the Epic. Every other network's 3g performed better than Sprint's when I tested them with multiple speed tests.
No matter where I am I rarely get above 500Kbps over 3g.
This was all in San Antonio so YMMV.
depends on location and signal strength
3g sucks in Louisiana too...hell a lot of areas around here are still 1X! On a normal day around town you are lucky to see anything about 80 kilobit. The phone is really useless for apps unless you have a wifi connection. I use force roam a lot to roam on vzw evdo anytime I need to stream or download something.
It's both Sprint and the Epic. Sprint has pretty bad 3G speeds compared to other providers but the Epic makes it a lot worse. It has real sh*tty radios all around. My friend has an Evo and it gets double the speed (both up and down) in the same spot as me.
Its theepics radio.
The ping is horrible too.
I tested sidebyside with my sisters iphone 4, and her ping was 19ms. The epics? 200. Tried on wimax, the difference?about 20ms lower.
Did the test on my friends hero, his ping was 30ms and was pulling 2mbdown 1 up
Epic was 300 down on 3g and on wimax was 3mb down.

It's strange, in the NOLA area my friend and I do speed tests in different areas in the city (pinging the same server). I get maybe 80kBs down and ~50kBs up (Pings ranging from 133 to 200+ milliseconds). My friend ends up getting ~200kBs down and ~700kBs up.
Of course those numbers vary, but my phone hit 200kBs 1 out of 75 pings. All others were less than 100kBs up/down.
I bring my phone into Sprint for service and the techie decides to compare speeds by bringing up the same website (MSN.com). It felt like it was a waste of time as both phones pulled the site up near the same time. I just don't understand this instability with pings and speeds in our area.
FYI: Be careful with data roaming. We are capped at 300MB a month for data roaming. Anything over is $0.25/MB.

Are you sure that you're actually on 3G service? Those speeds sound like 1xRTT. Your phone WILL NOT tell you that you're not in a 3G area. Only way to find this is in the phone's service menu. So, I repeat, your phone may read "3G", but you are infact probably using 1xRTT, not 3G (Ev-DO). 125kbit/s is average for 1xRTT.
Can you please share the method for getting into said service menu and how to check? This will be interesting to find if its in 1x or not ...

I can get 3G in other areas, but not here, which leads me to believe it's just a 850 MHz band.
I can take out the SIM and put it in an iPhone and it picks up 3G just fine, whereas the vibrant is stuck on edge. It's frustrating to keep having to reboot the phone to pop out the SIM

Its got to be unlocked doesn't it to work on att 3g network don't it?
Here we go again...
Here we go again. If you are referring to the T-Mobile USA Vibrant, it does not have support for 850Mhz UMTS bands. Period. The FCC says so. That is pretty definitive as far as I am concerned. It does not matter what some piece of software shows you. The hardware is not capable as it sits in the T-Mobile USA Vibrant. Search the FCC database for the Vibrant. GSM 850Mhz ≠ UMTS 850Mhz.
Pretty sure it's just 1900MHz. The FCC documents would have included the 850MHz band if it was really there.
Edit: Lol, yeah what he said.

I'm not sure what this is about. Maybe it's just wishful thinking run amok...seems like most of these people either want to switch to AT&T or bought the phone intending to use it on AT&T, have since found out that it won't work in their area, and are refusing to ultimately admit to themselves that it won't work.
People like to think to themselves, "Well, maybe the FCC screwed up and I DO have a pentaband (or quadband?) 3G phone." The slightest bit of uncertainty encourages such thoughts...there are threads with jokers enabling the fake 850MHz menu selection and exclaiming, "OMG, I have AT&T 3G on 850MHz" when they already had it on 1900MHz. People who bother googling the question ahead of time will no doubt find some older, confusing threads.(Albeit they will hopefully find more and more threads with people like us saying "No, it's not in the FCC docs," etc.)
We should have a sticky or something about this lol.
Yes, I googled it and found conflicting reports which is why I came here to clear it up.

HSPA is 3G (up to 7.2 Mbit/s)
HSPA+ is what AT&T called "4G" (actually, it is 3.75g, up to 42 Mbit/s)
Thanks for clarifying that. Now, is 4g working anywhere yet, or it hasn't been turned on?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Anyone know why the speeds differ so much when connected to HSDPA and HSPA?
When my phone says connected to HSDPA, my downloads go from 1-3 and uploads are 0.20. But when connected to HSPA I get 3.1-7.2 down and 1.2-1.6 up. Pings are also lower with HSPA (130ms vs 250ms). And why do they switch so much? I could be in the same place with my phone getting good signal (-58db) and it would constantly switch connecting between HSDPA and HSPA.

It will be done region by region, there may be a couple of areas that have backhaul in place...the at&t shows my whole tri-state region is 4G* and I have yet to get above 3.5 MB/s down in any speed test I've done.
The 6-7mb/s range is right for 4g. The theoretical cap for our phone is 14.4, but you will never see those speeds (same as someone with verizon lte will never see 48mb/s). The most you will see with the atrix is probably going to be about 9mb/s if no one else is using the network. That's a huge improvement from 3-4mb/s though, and should be plenty fast for anything you can do on a wireless phone at this point.
But isn't there any way for me to check and see if I am actually on 4g or not.

Yeah I know. Surprising that where I live Tmobile gets service, while ATT doesn't.
That's awesome! I'm with solavei and I can't wait u til T-Mobile let's the smaller companies use LTE. But I'm it complaining much. It's mid here in jersey and I'm about to pull 15Mbps down and 2 up on hspa+. But Lte wouldn't hurt. And for those that are getting better signal with Lte. I think I read an article stating that the coverage will be superior than that of hspa+ even though frequencies are the same. Idk the validity on that though.
