3G data Connection super SLOW - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is any one 3G messing up? For the past 3 weeks now my data speeds has been so slow. When ever I try to watch a video it sometimes work for 2 secs or just say "sorry, cannot play video". I called sprint and they gave me the run around. I'm using Fresh 3.2.0.0. stock kernel.
Any suggestions?

Not sure when using other kernels, but the phone never says when it is on a 1x signal. It always says either 3G or 4G. Due to this, you may experience slow "3G" speed which any other phone would show as 1x

I am also on Fresh, it has been extremely slow. Sometimes I will get 27kbs down and 296kbs up, way slower than anything including dialup. I still haven't found anything to increase my speed. I am now on Fresh EVO ROM 3.5.0.1 and I'm rooted with Unrevoked Forever, I've been wanting to go back to stock because this is really frustrating. There is a area around my town that has 4G and my phone wouldn't connect my friend also has a EVO with the same rom and his would. at the time I was rooted with Unrevoked 3 but he told me to re root my phone with Unrevoked Forever and turn s-off. So I did and now I can't get into recovery It just goes to the white screen that says "HTC EVO 4G". Still not sure if I can connect to 4G. I've heard you can go back to stock by using HTC sync and getting the RUU but everything I find doesn't show much and people's comments say it doesn't work. So if you or anyone else knows anything please help. Thanks.

I'm not sure if the speeds really even have to do with anything but Sprint themselves.
On an old ****ty Samsung Moment my download speeds are 200-400 kb/s
On an Evo my download speeds are 100-200.
Both are too ****ty to be worth using.

Well I called Sprint and they didn't help for anything. Not sure how it happened to my phone but when I first got it and for a few months of having it I was downloading at 1.5 mbps down and about 900 kbs up on average. My uncle did a speed test on his Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) on t-mobile his 3g was 2.1 mbs up and 1.1 mbs down. That only makes me hate my phone even more.

Root your phone. Download msl reader app. ##data# in dialer on a sense rom. Click edit. Enter msl code. Hit menu and restore. Chose to restart phone when the pop up comes up. Worked for me. Used to get around 130 kbs down. Now I get around 800-1100 down in my room.

OR install ADFREE from the market. That seems to fix alot of peoples problems with data speeds.

Wireless Tether Speed Slow versus 4g Speed on Phone?

Hello,
I tried seraching for this issue and could not find any help in the topics
My phone via 4g get's about 3-5mbps when I run speedtest on the evo...
I start wireless tether and the fastest speed I can get via my laptop is .5-.7mbps.
I updated my wireless driver to allow maxium power and that has allowed the speed to stay consitant between the .5-.7mbps.
Any ideas/help on how I can get my wireless tether speed to match closer to the 4g speed the phone gets? I understand there would be some loss in speed using the Evo as a hotspot but is a full 2-4mbps loss in speed normal?
Any tips or help is greatly appreciated
Mine does the same thing. Not sure why but I suspect it is something to do with the app.
If u using the free one it cap to 400kb if its sprint version it only works better on windows 7 so far my xp not getting those full speeds
EVIL PHONE
Yah, it really depends on what wifi tether your using. I use the updated google one, and watch hulu in dtown DC (4G) Conn ave. & K St. area; and get 3-4 mbps on the regular using the tether. I don't think the bluetooth connection would be quicker, but would definately conserve battery. SO which TETHER are you using?
I'm using the latest and greatest from google (pre3).
On my phone I easily get ~3-5mbps but in tether it drops drastically.
Just curious what ROM are you using?
definately capped
I just noticed this after flashing a rooted 2.2 rom. When I was using the google tether app on 2.1 Eclair Roms, I was easily getting 299 - 699 Kb/s download speeds using a bit torrent to download music, videos and what not; on the 3G networks, and 1.5 Mb/s - 3Mb/s on the 4G. Now with froyo, my tethering is capped at at about 50 Kb/s on 3G and about 200 Kb/s on 4G. I think it's definately something caused by Froyo, because apparently carriers can choose whether or not to allow tethering for free in this rom, which makes me believe that they can choose whether or not to cap the speed on connection sharing. Now when I download something directly from the phone, the speeds on the 3G and 4G are around the speeds I was getting with 2.1 . I'm going to try wiping and flashing back to a 2.1 rom; keeping my fingers crossed and seeing if this is in fact the case.
I also get slower 3G type speeds while wifitethering using pre7 or 8. On the phone I can get 4Mbps, but on the ipad/computer I get 700Kbps, and I cant really seem to figure out why.
Running DC3.5 with latest radios. Anyone else have any luck with this?
Did you try unlocking the N wifi on the phone? That might help cuz the phone come stock with G

Well technically G should be able to handle 11Mbps although in real life it should get at least 3 or 4. My friend was tethering around 2Mbps on eclair, but he seems limited as well. I am tempted to buy a month of Sprint to see what kind of tethered speeds I will get via sprint hotspot (but I doubt it hehe)

Use CM6 RC2 before you drop 30 bucks for something you dont need. CM6 can be a hotspot without paying 30 bucks but on the flipside CM6 cant use 4G
Dont get me wrong, I can tether. My speeds tethered are faster when I am on 3G as opposed to 4G though.
using the "wireless tether" app from the market on eclair I was getting about 2-5 mBps download and 600-800 mbps upload.
Now, on 2.2 I'm getting 3kB download and 9kB upload. I'd like to figure out how to get back the higher speeds I had with eclair.
Possible the google tether app...???
I figure I'll throw my name in here too. Wireless tether worked great when I was on 2.1, I was getting like 6mbps speeds over 4G when tethered to my laptop. I updated to 2.2 (with a full wipe of everything, then install SteelH's 2.2 De-odexed REV E.1 ROM) and installed Wireless Tether pre8, it works but I only get like .2mbps download speeds, regardless of 3G or 4G.
I tried Wireless Tether pre7 and pre8, neither seem to do the trick. Anyone figured this out yet? Alternatively, can anyone using a similar ROM confirm it is working at full speed for them?
Okay, I seemed to find the problem fix for me. I needed to clear the Dalvik Cache. Now I'm getting regular speeds over 4G.
I thought I was clearing the Dalvik Cache, but I was just clearing the... uhh... "regular" cache. Dalvik is under the advanced menu in Clockwork Recovery...
Delvik cache?
So, I used unrevoked3.2 that includes clockwork. To access I turn on phone while holding volume down? Then what? I'd like streaming speed over tether as well.

How to improve 3G?

Hey guys I have had my Evo for awhile now and Sprints network has great coverage BUT the 3g seems abysmally slow. For instance, I can rarely stream videos without it buffering - youtube videos on regular quality mind you. If I stand still in a place with good signal I will be fine but if I'm moving etc it is slow. I get around 100KB/s during daytime where I live and 130KB/s night time which is great but luckily I also get full signal where I am. On the go, it sucks.
Are there any ways to increase 3g speeds or is it purely network related?
Welcome to sprints idea of 3g
God's honst truth man... if thats all you get... thats all you are going to get because sprints 3g network is the worst i have ever seen. Bar none. Even little us cellular has better coverage and twice the data speeds as sprint does here in iowa.
There is no possible way for the phine or any hack to it to speed up sprints crap network.
My advise to you is to cqll sprint and plead your case, that you paid for 3g and are getting 1x rtt speeds 24/7 and politely demand a credit to your account like i do every month.
And then call back about 5 minutes later and ask to speak to the retention center because you want to cancel your service because you arpe not getting service you are paying for.
Then tell the retention persion you were thinking of getting the Airave but cant afford it and see if they will give it to you free on the basis of poor service and they typically will.
I did, and got one for when i am at work and the boss wont let me use it because it uses works internet for voice and data.

Figures... Should have went with ATT or Verizon.
I know in the old days of 3g internet hacks Sanyo phones had a data cap screen that was accessible via ##040793##. From there you could change the data rate, 144K/230K. Not sure if we have the same here but phone codes may be a place to start.
Mmmmhmmm. Just be glad you don't have the epic and are capped at 150kbps up.
I think sprint has finally gotten 2 good phones and 4g, so now they think they're the top dog and can do whatever they damn well please...it's like a cycle with them. Bad service>>>loose all of their customers>>>cheap, semi-good service>>>get customers back>>>become assholes again>>>loose their customers...

Well Verizon has amazing android phones for one. There is a data cap for ATT which is true but no cap for Verizon. You know now that I think about it I might do the force roam hack on my Evo and see if if I get better 3g speeds.
I have no idea what any if you are talking about, I get better 3g speeds on Sprint then I ever did with any other carrier I've had.

I wish I could get speeds that fast consistently. Actually what you are getting is right about on par for 3g. That's prob the avg speed one would expect to get. There are higher areas and lower areas depending on a lot of things. A 100KB connection is nothing to complain about. I've personally never had a connection over 150 KB.
Sent from your mom's phone.
Not sure if its sprint or my phone but I can't break 40kbs down on anything and 3g cuts out all the time. Crappy....
The first thing I would do to verify your 3g speeds is to unroot your phone, and make sure you are running the latest .93 hboot release and sprint ota release. If your phone is already in this state (un rooted and latest hboot) then ignore me.
You should also look into unrevoked forever if you haven't already...it runs off the current hboot, and I've noticed that something about that hboot does help 3g speeds on some rooted phones if you go that route.
I've done a ton of research and practical testing on this subject and I can say without a doubt that the evo's current rooting methods DO have a negative impact on some 3g phones in some areas. And I'm not talking about 100 or 200 kbps here or there. In the same house, same phone, 1 rooted and 1 not. That was the ONLY difference. The rooted phone got 7 kbps. The stock got 1800kbps. I swapped phone setups so that the rooted one was now unrooted and vice versa. That time the rooted one got 47kbps and unrooted was 1681 kbps...in other words the problem followed the rooting process, and not the phone. I've done dozens of tests like this and others in various areas within the surrounding wilmington delaware area.
I have access to 3 rooted evos, 1 evo that is always stock, as well as a samsung moment. The 4 evos are all rev 3 nova. I also did similar tests on the hero with the same sorts of results. Feel free to pm me or post here with any questions.
EDIT: the kbps numbers I listed were for download speeds. Upload speeds on both rooted and unrooted, regardless of build or boot version, were consistent at around 600 -700 kbps during almost all of my testing.
EDIT2: I forgot to say - this problem also happened to me when I changed recoveries from clockwork to AmonRA. So it's not JUST the rooting process that can cause this, but several low-level engineering commands, such as flashing a kernel, upgrading a ROM, etc.

That's pretty crappy, I get full 3g pretty much everywhere around St. Louis until I get out to the country. And pretty good 4g around town. My 3g is about 1.5mb down. 4g is 5 to 7mb down.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Flash the PRL to connect to Verizon's towers. I get 1.2 mb/s even see 2mb/s occasionally. Of course ping times are raised.
It's pretty hit or miss here, one day I will get 50-150k down and the next it will be +1meg. Next time it get drops below 500 you can bet I will be talking to somebody about it though, their advertised 3G speed is 600kb - 1.5mb.
100kb is ridiculous
I get anywhere between 500-1mb down 100-200kb up. My 4G easily does between 2-6mb down and 1mb up. People just love to complain. You didn't realize this within your 30 day trial? If so, why didn't you switch carriers?
What should the prl be right now ? And how are you guys testing the speeds? Nvr done it

You live in an area with poor coverage or your phone has a faulty radio.
I get good signal and up/Downs on 3g. If I nandriod away from cm6, I can get 6-7mb down and 1mb up with 4g in San leandro CA.

I think it is my radio. I was getting fine speeds up until 3 days ago when I noticed severe loading lag in my tethered apps. I get decent pings ~ 200-300ms which is not too out of the ordinary. I did a speed test other day and it was 50KB/s down and 70KB/s up. I figured it was just a faulty day but it has gone on far too long now. This is with 5/5 bars too... Just gotta wait for my new Evo to come in. Seems like every hardware ****up is happening at once.

Slow 3G?

I'm going f'n mad. How can my 3G be so slow with over half my bars lit up...
Accessing websites is slow, downloading is slow. I don't get it. I can barely break 30 KB/s. I'm ready to throw this POS in the trash, it's a waste of money paying for data and premium data at that when it's slower than snot.
Anyone experiencing the same? In OKC.
Yep, phone is a POS.....
Have you tried updating your PRL / PRI?
How about you give some details?
PRI?
PRL?
Hboot?
ROM?
Kernel?
Signal strength (in -dB)?
Do you get the same results on another ROM?
Do you get the same results in another area?
How much data have you used this billing period?
Same issue with me. Called Sprint tonight andsaid I was going to leave for t-mobile. Said I would sell evo for 300 on ebay to pay for cancellation. They covered next months bill (150) and an airave. I am now using the roaming hack (prl 31005) and if they kick me off then I will go to T-Mobile.

I haven't experienced any problems here. Love my rooted Evo!
At my home I get pathetic 3g speeds, maybe 100 kbps or so, but for whatever reason the 4g is stronger than anywhere else in the country I've been. Consistenly 8-9 Mbps. Is that common, an almost non-existent 3g connection but an awesome 4g connection? Needless to say I'm on 4g all the time at home.
I need help!! I have flashed myns Fls5 and the 4g connects but doesn't load web pages . It gets stuck all the time . I've downloaded adfree and have the updated radios. 3g works great . I've tried to search for this but no help so far thanks

Also I had this issue in NYC where it slowed to a crawl on 3G to the point where it wouldn't even load google.com
I flashed another ROM and everything was good but one thing I did notice was when I did a speed test using Speedtest it said the closest server was in the UK for all the tests I ran that day. I was pretty baffled by that.
So unless Sprint is routing all of their connections to the UK, they are just lagging. Try another ROM and if its the same deal and you have everything updated, call and flip out.
Do the 3g connection fix a couple posts up/back.
Check what rom you have. If you have a rom with adfree in it, then install it and uninstall the application from the market. Then reboot.
I'm actually getting better speeds now that I moved to a different rom. Weird, eh?
Myn's was giving me trouble with that because of adfree.

I've been having this problem for months now, while my friends evo doesnt have this problem, and none of the evos at the sprint store do. But mine does, along with many people here. Ive had the phone replaced 6 times, so obviously its not a hardware problem.
I have spent MANY MANY hours on the phone with sprint, and the executives have basically told me, unless 100 people or more have the same problem in the area, they wont send anyone out to check the network. Since apparantly I'm the only one in my area with this problem, they refuse to send anyone out.

Yes, everything. I have done everything the techs on the phone and in the store can do. I have gotten 3 refurb evo's and 3 new ones, all have the same problem. When I roam on verizon (using the verizon prl) even with 1 bar of verizon service I get 10 times as fast as I do with 6 bars on sprint.

Haven't noticed any difference anywhere , calls, internet, text all seem normal.
I am running this PRL also and lately my internet is much slower according to speedtest.net app. I used to get 1.0mbps down all day anywhere in my city pretty much. Now i'm lucky if i get it at my house (used to get 2.0-2.8 on 3G). Anywhere else I get 0.30 mbps down if i'm lucky. Sprint says its fine and that its still good and nothing to complain about. I wouldn't complain IF IT WAS GOOD compared to normal. ugh. Done factory resets and so on, no difference. CM7 Nightly seems to run ok though but speedtest.net still says fairly slow speeds.
PRL has nothing to do with your devices speed it is just a list of Prefered Towers you are allowed to ROAM on
i know that but ever since i updated it, i immediately noticed slow a** 3g speeds. Probably just a coincidence. After i rooted and flashed cm7 nightly 88 bam! 1.0-2.0mbps down .60 up

Slow data speeds and spotty service

I've noticed spotty and inconsistent data/service on my phone. Even with full bars I get data speeds like shown in the attachments. When using the phone it will sometimes say I have no data connection and ask me to retry. I retry a few times and it finally loads whatever it is I'm loading. I've also noticed that my phone sometimes gets a little warm while in use. I've tried different modems with the same results and I'm about ready to just take it to the sprint store and get it swapped. Any suggestions on what might fix it? I can confirm that it is something with my phone because I've run side by side speed tests with my friends OG epic and their speeds are normal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thats about what I get too. Its a combo of this phone and Sprints crappy network! My evo got better speeds as well.
I am getting the same thing too. Funny thing is that it just started being this way recently, it wasn't always slow. It is not just the data speeds, I am getting no service in places where I used to get service.
I have been seriously thinking about switching carriers and moving to t-mobile but a little afraid because I have been with sprint forever.
If something don't change by the end of the month, sprint may be losing another customer since the GSIII is on ALL carriers.
I am in Raleigh/Durham NC by the way.
I agree... it didn't feel so bad until I got my ET4G, but I just figured it was a network issue. I'm trying the EL29 modem on my Calks 1.6 now. If anything I'll try going fully stock and see if that helps.
Welcome to the Sprint network
Some people are experiencing network issues in places where Sprint is upgrading to LTE. I don't know how far-reaching the effects are but could possibly have something to do with it.

Yes, I notice the same thing lately with Sprint Wimax, I may have to dumb Sprint later. Sprint data speed gradually slows down from time to time, some area, Sprint shows only 1X, I look at friends' phones with Verizon, ATT and Tmobile, they have very good speed. My brother has Verizon LTE phone, I speedtested at the same location, he got like 17mbps download and upload is about 15mbps, mine is 1X speed. Suck, I gonna say goodbye to Sprint later.
Welcome to the Sprint network with the New iPhone4s d-bags. Seems like things were great till they showed up. Even my Evo got slower.
data
Maybe your phone is stuck in 1x..
What i do is i go into debug (##debug# in dialer) and i go to others, and then i select hdr/1x and i click on evdo mode. Try doing this but you need your msl.
Caution: ive tried it on ics roms and its really weird. Try going on a GB rom and do that. Oh and on EVDO, you wont be able to recieve messages, so when you are done change the setting back to hybrid.

I was just told this after getting off the phone with them earlier today for a different issue.
Still incredibly slow, but I'm hoping the network update fixes some things. Thanks for the information though!
