Really Sprint? This is retarded. I pay $10 extra for "premium data" and I don't even have 4G in my area, let alone worth while 3G.
But thanks for the $30 credit on my $190 bill I got slapped with this month.
US Cellular customers in the area get blazing fast 3G speeds...
I would have switched but I love my Evo Shift so much
Tried the latest radio upgrade, nothing new...
I'm smack dab in Waterloo, IA
WHY WOULD YOU LIE SPRINT?
Sorry, just venting a little bit. Anybody else near me getting the same crap 3G speeds?

I have the same problems with My phone. I believe it might be cm7. When I was sense I got about .60-.90 mbps upload. Now I can barely get passed .30 mbps upload and sometimes it shows .10mbps upload.
I also noticed on cm7 that i go into 1x a lot now. Places where I would usually get 3g I get 1x signal. It's kind of a pain.
edit: At first I thought the radio update did something, but it really didn't help.
edit 2: added a new picture.

Did you try doing some of the suggestions made in this thread yet?

I also could never connect to 3G before I changed my EVDO settings from CDMA to automatic using the ##3282# function.

I'm running MIUI, I have already reset using 3282 in Sense. It was set to Automatic already also...

Ran into an EVO user last night and he said the same thing, his 3G is very very slow even with full bars.

me and my girl both have evo shifts and my buddy has a og evo all 3 have terrible speeds and sprint blames the phones, its their network! in im columbus ohio anyone around here got crap for service too?

I have a Shift and I'm in the Detroit area. I just tried a speed test and got 561k down and 21k up on 3G, so it's not too bad here.

Yessir...and they've been getting worse.

Just did a speed test on family mobile (T-Mobile) 3g with my nexus s. Had between 1 and no bars but still not bad. Might try switching to gsm for Waterloo. Eastern Iowa is GSM country thanks to iwireless (another T-Mobile company)

Have you tried the EPST proxy trick yet?
download MslReader from the Market to get your MSL code.
dial ##3282#
Select: Edit Mode
Enter MSL code
Select: Advance
Scroll all the way to the bottom.
Change only the last two lines.
Http Proxy Port to 0 that is a "Zero"
Http Proxy address to 0.0.0.0
Press menu and commit Modifications and exit out. Reboot phone and test the speed again.
Please post back your results.
Goodluck!

I'm not sure if you meant 'Reset' or 'Restore' --- but, there is an issue if you update your data profile and then update PRL that will cause your data profile to get messed up.. I followed the steps in this thread, and now my 3G is perfect... Specifically - the portion dealing with restoring, having the phone reboot, letting it to handsfree activation, and then cancelling the PRL update.
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/280082-major-solution-fix-your-slow-3g-speeds-evo4g.html
I was only getting a maximum of 90-100kbps before doing this..
If you want the essentials of that post:
Select Data Profile
Hit Menu
Select restore
Hit OK to reboot...
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR PHONE
After going through the set up process (Handsfree Activation, LET IF FINISH) you will select ok
YOU HAVE TO HIT CANCEL WHEN IT STARTS LOOKING FOR A PRL UPDATE
YOU HAVE TO HIT CANCEL WHEN IT STARTS LOOKING FOR A PRL UPDATE
Wait for the phone to finish it's thing. 3g Icon should be on, go off, then come back on.

I tried all the fixes and the new radio on my Shift and I've just given up. My first month with it I used over 12 gigs of data and now I can't check the weather the signal is so poor. Flashed it back to stock and its going on ebay.

Hmmm......I have never had any problem with my shift's data only when its on 1x.....my moms shift had the 1x bug where it wouldn't connect to 3G but the ##DATA# Restore worked for her phone now the 3G works.....

Might be a cm7 bug

I change my mind in my first post. I think it might be a sprint problem with data speeds. Watch phonedogs review of the nexus s 4g, and start at 8:09. The reviewer stays around my area and I have been getting the same as you see in the review.

hey
well i talked to sprint there doing updates here so i will let you guys know if i see any changes but dont think i will so here is to hoping

I compared mine to my wife's hero, her is more than double my speed (100+ vs 39). not sure why, I will think a newer phone should be faster. anyone has any ideas?

100kbps is still horrible 3G speeds, I stayed on sprint's ass about this and my last months bill got a 140 credit and a no charge airave, but i have had this issue for months, and mine were like yours anywhere between 50-100kbps, I told them it was breech of contract and all kinds of things and that they owed me both lines off contract etf free and they offered the airave so i stayed

My experience,wife and i both had other smartphones and both had better signals which made everything liveable. Then purchased 2 shifts signal dropped from 3-4 bars all the time to 1-2 bars and dropped calls. So called Sprint told them that this was unacceptable as my wife uses hers for bussiness and we don't have a land line.2nd day Aired an AirRave to me.We also use our wireless router when at home.

AT&T is Painfully slow and inconsistant on my tab

Anyone else deal with this? I am getting great signal (same on my phone) But they data is just abhorrent. I usually hover in the sub 100kb/s area in my down speed. And that is when it chooses to bestow data on me at all.
Any ideas?

Are you getting 3G or EDGE? I'm connected through AT&T 3G at the moment and it's rather speedy. I usually clock in around 3mbps. The speed you describe is more typical of EDGE.
Sent from my SGH-I987 using XDA App

I can be connected to the 3g/H network and get crap speeds too. At&t is weak in my area (Southern California).

Yeah, I am getting 3g/H all of the time (never edge)
I am in NYC of all places it should be super fast.

We both live in populated areas - does the number of users on the net account for our slow speeds?

And there is what I mean...

I'm getting the same abysmal speeds on my galtab on AT&T with Overcome ROM and the JK3 modem. It bounces between H and 3G all the time.
I'm in the Seattle area, and people with iPhones get great speeds.
To top it all off, somehow AT&T somehow thinks I'm using 90% of my 250mb every month at these pitiful speeds.

I just flashed JPD and there was no change, but then I tried KM2 and now I'm getting awesome speeds.
Thanks!

JPD slight improvement.

I'm in Seattle...not sure what happened but km2 was blazing fast at first, then it slowed down.
Back to jpd, and its better, but still faster than before.
Edit: JPD did the same thing as Km2, started out fast, then slowed waaay down. I'm back on KM2 again, lets see how this handles for awhile.

My speeds are ok my service just sucks

I'm not sure what to tell you. I'm on stock ROM, stock modem, in a somewhat major city and I always pull pretty good speeds, well fast enough for streaming YouTube and Netflix.
I do know that NYC is not AT&T's best friend. People tend to have a pretty poor experience with the service there. But Seattle, no idea. Try a SIM pull, as that severs the registration with the tower and forces a fresh one which usually results in a much better connection. Failing that, I'd either blame the region (less likely) or the device (rather likely).

AT&T Download - terrible!
Having the same problem in the NYC area. Does anyone know the answer to a few questions:
Which is the best AT&T modem for voice and data on Gingerbread?
What are the correct/optimal APN Settings for this config?
Could AT&T be crippling this because I switched the SIM from a free-o "smartphone" I had to buy to get voice and data? (I have the tethered plan just so I don't get nastry-grams from them)?
Do you have to pull the SIM each time you re--flash the modem to reset the network?
I just switched to AT&T because I need telephony on the Tab (had T-mo and couldn't take the modem/switch thing).
Thanks in advance for any help.

I can't answer about the modem, but the apn setting that you'll need to use, if Broadband doesn't work, is ISP.cingular (no username or password); both are potentially available when you have a tethering plan. The wap.cingular apn cannot be programmed on the Tab when using the stock ROM.
I've used a couple SIM cards for a couple different lines aside from the SIM provided with the Tab and there has been no effect on the connection speed. In fact, I never even activated the SIM that came with it.
But at&t can see the device you're using by virtue of the fact that your SIM is inserted and connected. If they want, they can, and in some cases will, nail you for using a device that's not authorized with your line. Remember that US companies will not classify this as a smartphone as they do elsewhere in the world...it's more in the realm of the netbook, and technically warrants an according plan.

AT&T APN and Modem Settings
I am on the OC Jupiter ROM so no problem editing APN settings. I didn't activate the SIM that came with the Tab and I canceled the plan last week to be sure I wouldn't be billed.
I bought the tethering plan to be sure I wouldn't run afoul of their contract. I don't want to do anything but use the device I paid for with the features Samsung baked into it. Seems nuts that we have to go through these hoops when the folks in Europe have been enjoying fully functional devices for nearly a year now.
I re-set the APN to the default after re-flashing the JK3 modem yesterday and at it jumped up from .7 mbps to just under 3 mbps. Still not optimal (I used to get 5 mbps on TMo service/Tab, but no phone - that's another story). I now have to remember to tick the in-call volume down two notches and as I am testing again this morning the speed has fallen off some again.
Will try your apn settings and let you know if I have better luck. Thanks for the advice!

I've been rocking the KM2 modem since last week with my prepaid AT&T (APN: Broadband), and have been getting really good speeds throughout the Seattle area.
I'd say for my tab, it's a winner!

What rom are you using?
Have you used a voice and data sim with that modem? You would have to select the wap.cingular apn, and have a rom different than stock (stock won't let you use any apn other than Broadband).

On Overcome ROM
@rangercaptain - I am on the OC Jupiter ROM, and have a voice/data SIM from AT&T. Have the WAP.Cingular APN and added Broadband. That in and of itself boosted the speed to 2.5 mbps down, which is ok but not great. Was on the JK3 modem (and have to keep remembering that volume control is two ticks down). Just switched to KM2 based on @mykie242's report.
Speed tests don't go above 1.2 mbps down now, but the browser does seem to be a whole lot faster (really odd). Will use for a couple of days, then try JPD and report back.
I am in the NY Metro area if that helps. Many thanks again!

Not to pick a nit, but stock will permit you to add isp.cingular, the basic, pre-broadband tethering APN.

is it worth buying international gn2 for us at&t network users

hi friends can i know purchasing international galaxy note 2 to use on at&t network is good or wait for the official release from at&t .can i get 4g speeds on gt-n7100 ? because lte is a battery sucker and at&t version comes with lot of bloatware .please suggest me a right option

hey whats up, yes u can also use the note 2 on straight talk with h+, i heard i fast, i have mine with simple mobile and im fine, also im getting 1 day and 12 hours with 5+ hours on screen on a single charge, this phone rocks, i hope it help in something..good luck, thanks

Need to know if in your area have LTE like me for example I need to wait till next summer (1 point for the International)second I already flash a new ROM from XDA to update my device if I buy the one for AT&t i'm not shure(1 point for the int.)this why I buy the 7100:angel:

I don't live or work in a current LTE area, but even if I did I would still buy the International version. Two main reasons.
1.Developer support is always better.
2. Speeds on HSPA+ are more than sufficient for me. If I was on LTE I would probably go over my data cap every month.
I attached a speed test screen shot to give you an idea. Just in case I'm about an hour Northwest of Atlanta.

I live in ATT LTE territory and I purchased the international version. It works better than anything else I've purchased. Whether or not it is LTE will not be a problem for me. I do not need to load data quicker. I'm not convinced LTE would make a big difference.

Argh. I guess I'll just get the international version. If nothing else, it won't have AT&T crapware and restrictions on it. It doesn't really make a lot of sense to spend $679 on one though when I have an upgrade sitting there waiting to be used. I'm so impatient, I'll probably just buy one from negeri on eBay tonight and have it by Wed, lol.
Does google wallet / NFC work on the international one?

if you're gonna stay on the ATT route, it seems like you're wasting money not having AT&T subsidize your phone. consider switching to straight talk. if you're impatient, consider switching to straight talk, and get the int version. i think you'll end up saving $30 a month

If you are in a market where TMo has refarmed 1900MHz spectrum, you will get 3G.

As people have said before, you'll get EDGE unless you're in a 1900 MHz refarmed area... although this thing is coming out in a week or so (hopefully on the 24th), so I'd wait til then at least you'd get a 1 year warranty and LTE for future proofing by simply waiting a week or so.

I posted this in another thread, but international for me is always the way to go. But @OP, you need to know a couple of things before you make your decision:
- International version will have better battery life cause of no LTE.
- better development support
-no carrier bloat ware.
- Factory unlocked.
The AT&T version
- cheaper on contract (although if you switch to prepaid like straight talk, you'll end up paying less in a two year span)
- warranty( easy to go to your carrier and switch phone if there's an issue)
-LTE super fast speeds if you're in an LTE market.

Have you tried doing a speedtest at the same time at your friend's house? I'd say it's either a software or network issue with your carrier.

It's baseband. I believe there's only one baseband available.
Mines at the moment is M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.33
Did you change any kernels, ROMs before you started having this problem?
What kind of SIM card do you have? How old? Have another device to try speed testing the 3G/4G data with your SIM card?

No. Nothing will change your baseband. Does your current baseband match the ones I said?
Reset your APN as well if you haven't already. Definitely trying it on another phone will help determine what's the culprit of the issue. Let us know and report back.

It's kernel not kernal. No. Kernels controls WiFi, not 3G.
It's most likely your SIM card or indeed Solavei is having network problems. Probably SIM card if you and your friend were at the same location and you had lower speeds.

No problems using T-Mobile in NYC.
Have you tried doing a speedtest at the same time at your friend's house? I'd say it's either a software or network issue with your carrier.
A baseband doesn't turn defective randomly.

I'm also in NYC, and TMO has been slow as heck(bought a new SIM for the phone). I got much better speeds on my Sensation if I remember correctly. :crying:

Odd. My highest speed is ~13Mbps. Cutted my regular sized SIM to a microsim.

13Mbps? I don't believe I've seen such speeds while in the Bronx or Manhattan. I'm lucky to even get near 2Mb.

So this is my plan google is gonna send me a new phone in 3-5 weeks since they think its a phone issue. My friend is also going to get me a new micro sim to make sure my sim isnt the thing thats broken as well.

I'll have to try some more test in the east side but that's sufficient until mobile gets aws lte.

I'm having this happen on SIMPLE mobile which runs off tmobile. For the 1st week it was working perfectly got speeds between 7 - 15mb download. Then all of a sudden the speeds started being 0.24mb EVERY SINGLE TIME. I've talked to these reps and they assure me that my day isn't throttled ( I've used 1gb in the first week) no one can figure I out. I am on the .33 baseband also and this seemed to happen after I switched to the latest Xylon rom. I still truly believe it's either the baseband or they're throttling my data and won't admit it. My last choice is to get a new sim card but I don't feel like arguing cause I know they'll try to charge me $10 and it's not guaranteed that that the problem. Let us know if your new sim worked normal or if you're still get getting crappy speeds. Btw I'm in CT about 40 mins from Manhattan.

I'm in NYC and my service with T-Mobile is garbage... I get less than 2g and I've called numerous times to complain.... They are now "investigating" the towers in my area.
I wish this phone would run on Verizon.
I don't care how expensive they are - they are true to their word.....lte is missed so much by me

Nothing wrong with the tower or the phone. Those are TMO throttle speeds. Solavei can suck a nut. How data did you eat this month?
This is why so many of us are on the $30 TMO 100min 5gb 4g plan.

Preferred Network Type: Global vs. LTE

I was snooping around in the settings and noticed my preferred network type is set to "global" even though one of the options is labeled "LTE (recommended)".
My LTE data seems to be flowing smoothly I just don't want to miss out on any LTE bands (Sprint) or waste battery life.
Here is the pathway to the setting:
settings->wireless & networks->more->cellular networks->preferred network type
Thanks for any info or thoughts on the matter! Love this phone!!! :victory:

That's weird I only see 3 options lte,3g and 2g

Humm I have 4 options:
LTE
3G
1x
Global
I wonder if it is a Sprint thing :/

I have also 4 options I did changed to lte, I'm with Sprint too

Well, I just did some speed tests using Sensorly and Ookla Speed Test apps and I get much better LTE down/up with the selection "LTE (recommended)". I will do more tests at different locations but it was night and day going from global to LTE.
Is there an app that does not require root that shows what LTE band you are on?

I'm on verizon. Under "preferred network" I have
global / LTE-CDMA / LTE-GSM-UMTS
I do have verizon 4G LTE, but does that mean I do not have verizon 3G?

Verizon doesn't show 3g only in the settings screen on any device (no idea why).

Same here, eager to know what the optimal settings are!

Can any of you guys on Sprint see if you have an issue where the phone goes to 3G after a call ? See the thread I just started on this.

Thanks but I am happy with the current app "SignalCheck Pro".
Also Global to LTE didn't really change anything after further testing/experience. Everything is just peachy! :highfive:

I have been on Verizon network, due to my work for almost 3+ years now. The only time, I had to mess with those settings was while I am Traveling international. In the US, switching those should not make any difference. Just make sure, you have the enhanced LTE toggle turned on to connect to XLTE.

Humm I don't see the enhanced LTE toggle. Is that a Verizon thing? I have Sprint.

Ok cool that is where my settings are as well. Must be a sprint thing. I am using the "LTE (recommended)" selection and it seems to be going well. I am also connecting to Sprint Spark when I look into the SignalCheck Pro app.

I have both, but for some reason the band doesn't seem to be reported when using SignalCheck Pro. LTE Discovery shows it, so I'm not sure why.

My 6p on Verizon shows global, CDMA LTE or GSM LTE. After getting fed up with my LTE dropping constantly I just tried (about 5 minutes ago) switching it to GSM LTE even though I know Verizon is CDM just to see what would happen. My phone went from no service to full LTE instantly. Really weird no idea why that would happen. Then in the middle of writing this post phone dropped LTE again. I went and switched it back to CDMA LTE and now I have full LTE again.
It seems like when you are traveling and you hit a dead spot switching the network preference resets the phone signal and it finds a closer tower or something works either way you switch. That is my two cents.

2G, 3G, LTE (recommended) are the only selections I have on my phone. I'm using WETA 8.4 and on cricket wireless, which btw has a $70 plan where I get unlimited everything - no cap on data...I literally stream Hulu/Netflix without any interruption. I stopped using major cellular companies when I was getting screwed with hidden data fee's <AT&T> was always notorious for charging 20 bucks after so many gigs...Also I'm paying a third less than what most of friends are, but if has it's disadvantages too.
