Need help with this, all AOSP ROMS I get only about 200kbps on LTE.
Have been looking all over the place for an answer.
Always wipe everything, as soon as i flash a touchwiz ROM, I get great speeds.
As soon as I return to AOSP, nothing again. Still connect to towers with no problems, just the speeds are horrible.
Its a known thing

So only some people have these issues and there is no known solution?
Only some people affected.
All I know is to go back to TW.

Any Chicago people having 4G issues today? Just stopped working for me last night. Status goes from scanning to connecting and loops like that. Thought it was a rom issue but I have flashed a few different roms, flashed the stock kernel, stock rom, reflashed the wimax update and even did the radio update again. Still wont connect. Just wanted to see if it is just me or maybe it is a network issue.

No prob here. This is indoor 4g (see pic)
Thanks for replying. Wonder what I messed up then. Fun fun time after work I guess.

I bought my ns4g about a week and a half ago coming from a tbolt on Verizon. I got it at 8pm and had it rooted by 9. I immediately installed cm7 and have been using every nightly. My signal was horrible. I had nothing at work and barely one at home. It also would barely hold a wifi signal even when laying the phone right next to my router. I've updated my profile and manually put prl 60679 on the phone and nothing improved. The only time I could get 3g was using the Verizon hybrid prl ( I don't have 4g here). I called sprint and updated the msi? And the lady said I was in great coverage at work and good at home. The signal was so bad in 4 ours of the phone sitting in my pocket doing nothing I lost 50% battery everyday. So this morning I unrooted to take the phone back to sprint for an exchange. I've been using it stock for about an hour and now wifi is good even outside my house and I get 2-3 bars most of the time. Is there any reason why this would be? I have owned about 90% of Verizon's android phones so I'm not new to this, I've just never seen this kind of difference between stock and rooted. I think I will wait and see if it stays like this or gets worse now and switch to the 3d if it is still bad. I switched to the nexus s because I love plain android, butit was so bad before I couldn't even make phone calls or send text unless I got lucky and it would connect.

the only thing i know on the subject is i left my phone unrooted for a couple of days. never noticed a difference after rooting. seems to be many conflicting reports on signal issues when it comes to the nexus. i have generally lower signal (3g 4g wifi) than my evo. really hope its software related so i can get a fix.
Rooting doesn't affect the phone's radio.
Maybe the ROM was bad?
ive been watching my signal strength for a day and its usually around -86. my evo was always -90 or more
It could be the rom I just don't get it. I've never had a problem with cm7. I'm going to root and fund it stock rooted and see then maybe go with something else

-86 dbm is a *better* signal than -90 dbm.

I sat at 101 before now I have 2 bars and I am at 86 now, best it has ever been

Better look at the second number. Anything below 3 is bad reception.

damn i like soju 2.6 too. oh well stocks not bad either. i see theres 4 kernels to chose from and 2 are experimental
ok so i flashed my "out_of_the_box" back up and updated prl and profile and my status numbers are the same. i did notice tho that with soju 2.6 i was on evdo rev 0, and now back to stock im on rev A
now wtf? after i flashed a netarchy kernal (stable bfs 2.3.4) im on rev 0 again. what going on here?
Here's what I'm gauging my claim on. I live in a basement apartment so I get awful service anyway. But, on CM7 I can't make a call without it dropping, and mms is out of the question. On stock, I can almost always get through a call and mms sends no problem. I have an airave and its the same story on that. CM7 the mms just sits there with the icon spinning forever. Stock it sends almost instantly. I keep a backup of both and just switch between depending on what I'm doing.

My favorite quote "Engineers are educated beyond their intelligence." Ironically, I am in school for engineering
Now I have a problem. I rooted again and right now I am stock rooted. My signal is back to being bad again. So I can either remain stock or switch back to Verizon or go with 3vo. I came to sprint just for this phone so I can root and play. I don't know what to do. I have 18 days left until my 30 is up...

I rooted a couple days ago, haven't noticed much of a difference in signal strength practically... BUT my time without signal went from 1% to about 8% . Obviously battery life suffered somewhat.
Currently I'm on EvDO rev. A.
Will continue to post updates.
So I have switched to the hybrid 00001 prl for now and I get decent signal, eve get some at work. I figure if I'm going to switch tithe 3vo in a week I won't go over the 300mb roam limit. Its a shame too I like this phone, I just want something j can play with.

EVDO rev 0 to rev A switches depending on signal quality.

I was with my friend today, and his web was really slow. Even on 4g WiMax. I did a speed test and it was about 30KB/s.
Any ideas?
Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
Also, he wants to root, and rom. What's the easiest method? He has EL30.
Sprint sucks donkey di**? That's my only guess.....

Welcome to Sprint, home of the unlimited turtle data.
Seems Sprint is working just fine here for me. 1.02Mbps 3G.
Sprint is every bit as good.

A couple of things might be an issue here, First off, I am on Sprint myself, and my data speeds are quite good when I am in an area with at-least two (2) signal bars, one of the first things you should have your friend do is to make sure his firmware, profile, and PRL are updated by going into the "Settings," "About Phone," then the System Update tab. After those are updated, I would power the phone off then back on, and see if the speed has increased at all.
A couple of tools you can use to do that are Speedtest.net's app, Open Signal Maps app (a handy little utility), NetMonitor (similar to Open Signal) and CellPhone Coverage (similar to the Open Signal and NetMoniter but with some extras) beyond that make sure he has a good strong signal, or use wifi if possible. Good Luck.

He has full bars, and speedtest does 50KB/s>. I tried updating the profile, PRL, and so on.
Myself, on Virgin Mobile, sane PRL as him, and I get better data speeds...
Also easiest root method?

Im just wondering if there's any chance that the reception will improve as the development of the kernel and everything advances. On stock I'm able to make calls and send texts with no problems but after using a 4.2.2 based ROM I can rarely send texts and they usually don't receive either. I also lose almost every call I make no matter where I am.
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I had the same problem on CM 10.1. The reception was horrible even though it was the same radio as stock. Also for some strange reason the reception bars wouldn't show. Its all down to the kernel, give it some time.

It seems as if anytime someone texts me, and there is a message being sent at the same time, the sent message fails and i have to hit retry on it. Im not sure if this happens on stock roms, but definitely happens on custom roms. Is there anyway to fix this?

Me too. I thought it was a radio issue because my signal at home sucks. I just sold my MDK S4 and bought the N3 and the signal difference at home is very noticeable.

My note 3's signal is also atrocious, much worse than my thunderbolt and note 2 were in the same location. I can barely get a signal from my home. My service also seems to be even worse with wifi on. I am actually just about to make a thread to discuss these issues

all we can hope is the kitkat update brings a new baseband and better signal

I hope so. I just made a thread showing how it is possibly a software issue, at least in my case:
