[Q] HSDPA question... wtf is the deal with this? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so I just picked up a g2 yesterday and impressed with it's performance in every way so far besides the HSDPA... I got the g1 a few months after its release and always had 3g data with it. Sometimes the speeds would move a little slower than others but it standardly got 200-300kb/s down. (which was better than my dsl connection at the time < 1Mbit) So in the last 24 hours I've been going all over chicago and the suburbs of it and getting HSDPA but the speeds suck really bad. I'm cranking out less than 1mbit. Is there a fix for this or something? I really don't get why it's going so slow when tmo just opened a new HSDPA network here like a week ago... any suggestions or input on how to make this new data experience a little better would be greatly appreciate. Thanks.

I live in Chicago as well, and I had concern that there was a lack of HSPA+ in the city... And you just confirmed it!

I'm with you guys, but I live out in the burbs. According to the coverage map, HALF my town has HSPA the other is still in 3g. Well I live in the part that still has 3g. Anyway I was at my friends house and full bars w/ HSPA and my speedtest showed no more than 900 kb/s.

I had the same questions and from what I have found is there are no notifications for 3G on the G2. So when it shows H it could be 3G and maybe HSDPA, and HSPA+ this explains the speed results. I downloaded a cool widget which always shows you what you are on. Sorry don't have the phone with me right now and don't remember the name but I got it out of a thread here.
EDIT: It's called Mobile Signal Widget See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9052996&postcount=10

If you're actually getting HSPA+, then you'd know it from speed tests. For example, I've gotten 16Mbps from it. That's faster than our home internet lol (Comcast - 15Mbps)

There's a difference between UMTS and HSDPA right? Because when I'm in my room, it says UMTS... when IU'm outside in my area... I see HSDPA... and when I'm on HSDPA is when i'm getting 2mb down and 1 mb up... I recently visited Maryland, and there i got 4mb down, and 1 mb up (on HSDPA)

Picture or it didn't happen.
The phone's limited to 14.4mbps if I recall correctly; that is also theoretical speeds too.

I unfortunately don't have a picture, but I myself still don't know if what it said was entirely correct. I'll try to get a picture next time I'm in that area. On the other hand I could just make a picture in photoshop right now... (OVER 9000 MBPS :O lol)
I was using mobilespeedtest.com's 7MB test.

Well at the moment HSPA+ isn't fully implemented just yet. I'm wondering if the areas that is covered by T-Mobile's Very Fast Web is updated HSPA+.

Well just did some testing.. And here its one of my results for my town..

Don't use mobilespeedtest.net guys. I've seen speeds of over 30000 kbps.
Use the speedtest.net app.

updates...
ok some stuff i noticed today, (my 2nd day of use with this handset) I went out to Aurora IL today to pick up my brother and while sitting in the car I ran the speedtest app again. Most people who frequent the speedtest.net site from the chicago area know that there's a server for testing in aurora/chicago/lincolnshire. The app told me i was less than 5 miles away from where it pinged. My test results were much better. I got about 6.5mbits. Weird thing is that my home is only 12 miles from the chicago server (also where the hspda network is supposed to be located) yet aurora is much further west. Not sure what's with it. Hope it's just a delay in getting it up and fully running.
Was out at the bar down the street just now and noticed that I get roughly 4~5mbits. Maybe it's just my location D:

I agree that the high speed is quite sad. I live in Salt Lake City, which they say has good coverage, and it's nothing too exciting, it's about the same as my Mytouch3G did

Inc 2 - poor data speeds?

for the hell of it i just did a speedtest on my Inc2 and these were the results:
Ping - 219ms
Download Speed - 0.29 Mbps
Upload Speed - 0.26 Mbps
my phone is currently showing 3 bars.
when i had the Thunderbolt it was showing like 7 Mbps DL & 2 Mbps UL in this area(without 4G).
does anyone else have crap speeds to?
You are comparing a 3G phone (Inc2) to a 4G phone (Thunderbolt)... Ofcourse its going to be slower...
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk
he said without 4G... should be the same.
I find it highly suspect that a 3G connection was generating 7mbit. The maximum burst rate (meaning: not streaming rate) is 3mbit for EVDO Rev.A. Both the Thunderbolt and the Incredible 2 have 3G radios using Rev.A, not Rev.B.
I've noticed sometimes the connectivity indicator has a delayed update and I can be connected to 3G before the icon changes from 1x to 3G coming out of the parking garage at my office (I can tell because streams that don't work on 1x would start up fine).
I've been able to get over 1mbit consistently on my Inc2, and have been able to exceed 2mbit in some areas.

Stock rooted Gingersense, I took a screenshot back at my desk where I have no bars but was outside when I ran the test.
Had full bars and i'm on the new radio.
You need to turn on Roaming I know it doesn't make any sense
Wireless & Networks - Mobile Networks - Data Roaming Checked & CDMA Options - SYS select automatic. There I bet it's fixed.
I live in Philly across from a major hospital with thousands of people inside.
I have 3 bars at my house usually. When I first got my OG Droid it was faster than my DSL at 2200k. Then after I guess more people got smartphones it got slower and slower.
I was getting max 200k oftentimes 80k at my house since Fall '10. At work it is much better around 1200k stable but at 5pm at work used to kick me off the network. No biggie right I have wifi at home. Well it is a pain if you take a walk outside and there is a dead zone around your house.
So I decided to try a friends Sprint phone. SAME EXACT signal readings same speed. Got an Inc 2 finally I thought my droid was crap. Same thing with new phone.
Then I started trying everything. Turned on Roaming as noted above bingo!
I have a feeling Sprint / Verizon towers are used jointly? Like you need roaming for things to work properly in downtown philly. I don't know but I don't loose connection anymore whenever I have bars showing. Where in areas that there are a large number of people I had problems previously at peak hours. Now everything is stable now.
It doesn't make any sense to me at all. It is turned off by default on all phones?? But the difference is like night and day. I mean I know Verizon/Sprint share networks but that should only be in the boonies? I would love an answer. Just don't go overseas with that enabled.
i am satisfied with my inc2 data speeds. i put my inc2 next to an evo 4g (running in 3g mode because there is no 4g in my area)...and the inc2 loaded all the websites i tested quicker than the evo.
the inc2 was showing 1 to 2 bars, the evo showing full bars... i would click on a link at the same time on both phones and inc2 won everytime.
I average a MB up and down, zero complains. Running 2.3.3 (recent upgrade).

Don't look st the bars. They are set to show so many based on signal and that changes from Rom to Rom (why a dx can show 4 bars but I have 2) go to settings about phone and look at your signal strength.

Verizon has a roaming agreement with sprint. I think it would only come into play overseas. In Europe that setting could get you in to trouble.
Had Roaming on from NY to SC not a peep from Verizon billing.
It's much faster right less data drops too.

It is often the case that providers will share towers. Many communities hate the sight of towers in their area (they're ugly...yes, this really does happen) so they are forced to keep them to a minimum. They share towers but not necessarily radio equipment, so you may not be necessarily be running through Sprint on a Sprint tower.
Not terrible. Houston

[Q] Sprint 3G always really slow?

I'm coming from HSPA+ speeds on T-Mobile, so I was wondering if EVDO speeds on Sprint are supposed to be this slow? EVDO should be capable of at least 1 Mbps.
I'm consistently getting less than 300 kbps download, so are Sprint's EVDO speeds really closer to EDGE than 3G?

Honestly, sprint is just awful in some areas. I'm okay with it because I pay a lot less and usually have wifi anyway, but yea, the service is just pathetic.
In LA, I regularly get 5-50 kb/s download and upload with 3g. If I'm lucky, I'll get around 300--this happens maybe 1/10 days. This is in a flat, well populated area of Los Angeles, not a boonie by any means. It's really disappointing.
4g, when it (rarely) works, is also way slower than I had hoped for... maybe 1.8 down, 200 up.
Funny thing about unlimited data is that with crap speeds like this, I could probably download all month long and not reach the limit of other providers...
I am occasionally able to hit 1000 kbps up and down but at my house it's normally about 300 kbps each. I had 4G today and it was a pitiful 500 kbps down and 50 kbps up with a ping of 500. Be glad you have data at all...

You would think that in LA we'd get better service?! I usually get 0.5 mbs up and down on 3g and 4-5mbs down and 1-2 mbs up in my area though...

It's true. Sprint really is just that awful. Sprint's "3G" is slower than AT&T's 2G. I'm still happier than I was with AT&T, though, since I always have some kind of data signal on Sprint. I might be roaming, and I might get only 5kbps down, but at least I have something. On AT&T I would frequently have ZERO signal and my phone was a worthless oversized paperweight.
Sitting in my own living room, where I have 5 full bars of Sprint 3G signal, I have similar speed to what you posted. Yours might be a bit faster, actually. This is completely normal average speed -- I am fairly certain that Sprint is NOT doing these "network vision" upgrades in east Texas anytime soon, if ever. Contrast that with Verizon -- my buddy was sitting right next to me with maxed out LTE signal, pulling 30mbps on the same speed test. That's faster than my Roadrunner Elite. He then dropped to Verizon 3G and got about 5mbps down. On both tests, his ping was <100ms and mine was >500ms.
I firmly believe that the only reason Sprint still offers "unlimited" data is that there is no need for a cap -- you are limited directly by the speed of your connection and you cannot reasonably even come close to 5GB of data usage in a month. Unless you have consistent Wimax signal, which I estimate maybe 1% of their subscribers have.

tmobile seems to want to have it both ways. they call their hspa+ 4g, but then throw it in to comparisons against other carriers 3g.
le boo.
from the article... T-Mobile's HSPA+ 21 service won in the 3G bracket of our study, and the company's high-end HSPA+ 42 service competed reasonably well with other providers' 4G service.
3g speeds are poor in some areas but recently have seen a slight improvement in my area. I'm hoping the network vision upgrades will help like they say it will.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
Obviously there is no credibility to that article. There are several places around Daytona that I get over 1Mbs on 3G. I can just as easily measure ATT's 4G in my area to show it slower than Sprint's 3G. Most of the time I have to toggle airplane mode on the stupid ATT phone from work just to get it to load my work screen.
Different areas have different speeds... I get 1.5-2 mbps on 3g.... of course about 2 months ago I was only getting .30 mbps on 3g... 4g is super fast though. Lol

I had been using the EL30 modem for quite some time and 3G speeds were horrid around the Chicago suburbs. Like bad bad. If I wasn't on 4G, I didn't even want to use my phone for anything data related.
I know NV is being deployed around this area right now, but I recently switched to the FC09 modem, and it's a night and day difference. I used to get around 0.1Mbps if I was luckly. Lately, since the switch, I've been getting more closer to 0.8-1.0Mbps which I'm quite happy with considering it's 3G.
4G I usually pull around 5-7Mbps down (but have hit 10 a few times; that's a full 1MBps down) and I usually cap it at the 1.5MBps up. That's faster than my wifi at home through AT&T UVerse.
Average Sprint 3G data speeds decreased from 2011 to 2012. Maybe because of the influx of iPhone customers?
Welcome to Sprint. Where the 3G is 2G, and the 4G is 3G.

So my question to you is; why'd you leave T-mobile? If they were so great for you, you should have stayed with Big Magenta.
I'm not being flippant here. Carriers are like organized religion. What works for one person offends someone else. In the end, all of us get through to The Supreme Being.
I, personally, always find myself on Wi-Fi so I don't give a crap.

You're right. I should have stayed.
With my corporate discount, my equivalent plan on Sprint is cheaper, so I switched. It's too bad that article showing crappy Sprint data speeds didn't come out earlier, I probably would have stuck with T.

new to tmobile and in a dilema.

i left verizon yesterday and switched over to go gsm but also to save money and get unlimited data back. i got the note 2 and my wife got the gs3. great phones and they work fine except my data speeds are horrid. i live in a superb coverage area to, i get 3-4 bars constant but cannot pull even close to 1 meg down on 4g or edge. this is happening on both phones. :crying:
i called tmobile today and they say it sounds tower related as i live right by it. they opened a ticket to have it looked at but im fearing if i wait this out and it doesn't get fixed im stuck, i believe i can return the phones and cancel the contract within 14 days. do you guys think i could have a couple bad sims cards or does this sound tower related? i did port our number over from verizon too. both phones are rooted with the toolkits and unlocked bootloader if that makes a difference.
i need advice as i hate to leave and go to at&t or sprint which is far worse.

im getting 89 dbm 12 asu on 4g. i cannot even get close to 512 on speedtest.
does it take time for data to provision or something? i know he told me it could take up to 24-48hrs for my number to be ported. but that happened late last night.

It sounds like a bad tower
-81 dBm 18 asu here
15.06 mbps down 1.71 up
You should go out and see if you get better speeds around where you are. If you go a few miles away and get great speeds then it's the tower for sure
Agree, it could be a bad tower. They were working on a tower near my office, exact same scenario. A week later, works like a charm.

This code is the factory data reset code for most Samsung devices. It doesn't have anything to do with provisioning.

Drive somewhere else in their HSPA+ coverage area and run the speedtest again to verify.
It's T-mobile, when I get on train station I get constant -53dBm and below 0.05Mbit, Wanna proof ?
Try the app "fresh network" , and look at your speed test app to see that you are on HSDPA, and not umts.

It's the tower. The T-Mobile tower near my house has line of sight and it went down to edge speeds (like .12Mbps down, .002Mbps up) last month. I called them on the 15th and it took them about two weeks to fix it. My speeds are back to normal now, so my advice would be to notify them that the tower is FUBAR, and wait it out. That is of course assuming you get normal speeds other places too, but it would be a moot point if your home has crappy speed. Here's my latest ST:

The cause of slow speed might be the fact that T-mobile is restructuring their 1900 band on certain towers. Here in California, I happen to live in an area where they are restructuring the cell tower I am using, so I get download speed of 0.01mbps to 0.15mbps. However, as soon as i walked out of the range of that particular tower, my download speed goes up to 12mbps to 15mbps.

I hope this is true. I'm a new T-mobile customer and have had the spottiest reception in the bay area. I've read this article (http://blog.t-mobile.com/2012/11/20...-metro-areas-just-in-time-for-holiday-travel/) and am crossing my fingers. I'm constantly stuck on EDGE when i'm indoors as well.
Same here, I pop in the TMobile sim and I get 1.5Mbps and .3 up. Pop in ATT and I get 6Mbps and 1.2 up. So it's not the phone. I'll try different areas. So far I'm not impressed with their Customer Service and Data. I was happier on GoPhone.

yeah that's what was causing it as i called tech support. the issue was resolved within 24hrs. i have decent speeds again now.
I had a similar issue when I first bought my note 2 on release day. Was getting on average about .22 down speed and the up speeds where so slow the speedtest app could never finish running it. Called tmobile and they opened a ticket and got it working within the week. Now I get anywhere from 14-16 down at home and roughly 3 up. Guve it some time if they say they are working on it its just a matter of time.

T-Mobile 4G Unlimited Throttled

Hey, I just moved to US and bought a T-mobile Galaxy S III with Unlimited 4G.
I rooted the phone and used the APN trick (From WarlockW)
Everything went fine, and I was using the User Agent on Google Chrome (As a Android browser)
The speed was like 5-15 mbps , and now it is like 0.02-0.1 mbps. I know that I used alot of data (something around 14,5gb I guess)
The 4G signal is quite good, and still the same at it was when I got 5-15mbps
Does anybody else have this problem, and what should I do?
Thanks guys, looking forward to some feedbacks
I, too, have been getting "throttled" 4G speeds as of late.
I'm a heavy user (~20-40GB/mo), and I see my 4G get "throttled speed" where my 4G icon shows FULL 1/2 of the month.

Curious on you on a tethered plan or the new unlimited?

Im on TMO's new unlimited (no data cap) 4G plan. I switched over to TMO the month before they announced their new unlimited 4G. So to say, I was VERY excited.
The first month was fine (september). october, was a little sketchy. for a good week, my data dropped in speed significantly. This month, worst. I can't seem to stay on 4G speeds. Maybe its the rain in my area? Or the influx of new customers jumping into the unlimited plan overloading TMO's traffic? Who knows....
Im close to calling in and asking them why my data is so freakishly slow for the past 2 weeks now...
Definitely call them and complain. And tell them to reset it for you.

Add me to the list of getting "throttled" watching YouTube on my phone and ran a speed test right before, 220kB/s which is awesome for I don't get 4g here. After about an hour of YouTube it started to buffer like every minute. Ran a speed test and only got 90kB/s and it had to have been me getting throttled. It's happened before and I called and complained they fixed it but now it's starting again. I'm getting really annoyed.

I would say lately, I have been using my 4G less since it's getting colder outside, and I'm indoors with wifi. I haven't gotten throttled lately, but I feel that the network has been slower than my normal speeds too. I can't compare to what I had before since I didn't think to save a screenshot from before, but I wonder if having too many people using the service simultaneously also is dropping the speeds.

I wish they were temporarily dips in service. But I haven't been getting anything CLOSE to 15mbps this month. Just ran a test just now and I got 0.09Mbps. This test was ran after I called customer service and them explaining why:
"Due to your location, it is best to be outside for better data service." [But I have full 4G bars inside the house. I never experienced this for the first month with you guys in my house.] "Im sorry to hear that sir, but like I said, due to the frequencies the towers are giving and the combination of your location being indoors, it is best to be outside for better service." [So to say, I should put my bed OUTSIDE while I browse my data hogging phone?] "I'll fill in a ticket for an engineer to contact you."
Total bee es.
Call and immediately ask to speak to a supervisor, tell them you have full signal but the actual speed is crap and it's not "faster and more dependable" as they claim and ask for a credit on your account for the month. This method landed me $20 off my bill. Good luck!

For the ones getting throttled do you guys have the true unlimited 30 buck plan?
Also keep in mind during the day and rush hour periods, data will be slow because everyone is getting off work/school
they cannot legally throttle you if they are claiming it and advertising it to be unthrottled, class action law suits up the *** ...... furthermore, it is all coincidence, all of it. if you are on the unlimited 4g, your 4g is exactly that, unlimited, and unthrottled.

Optimus G maximum 3G speed

I think all Sprint users are aware that our network's 3G speeds are abysmal. However, I had an opportunity to test the maximum 3G speed of my phone this morning, and I was pretty surprised by what I found.
Sprint was kind enough to send me an Airave (Femtocell) so that I could actually use my phone while at home. Aside from giving me 5 bars of signal, it also provides 3G network coverage. For those not familiar, all data and voice covered by the Airave are routed over an independent broadband connection. Because of that, I reasoned, my 3G should max out at either the phone's upper threshold or my peak broadband speed.
Here were my results:
Wifi - 5.101 mbps (down), 1.714 mbps (up), 95 (ping),
EvdoA - 1.769 mbps (down), 0.647 mbps (up), 220 (ping)
EvdoA - 1.283 mbps (down), 0.700 mbps (up), 232 (ping)
Wifi - 6.123 mbps (down), 1.601 mbps (up), 96 (ping)
Wifi - 5.164 mbps (down), 1.834 mbps (up), 83 (ping)
Wifi - 7.571 mbps (down), 1.624 mbps (up), 102 (ping)
As you can see, there was a considerable difference in speed. Now I am sure that some of this is femtocell related, but I would expect to see 3G data speeds closer to my local network max.
Has any one ever squeezed faster 3G speeds out of their phone or is the 1.7mpbs mark about as fast as our radios will support? Any thoughts on why the Airave would dish out such a low speed? Also, any guess why the latency is so high?
On my OG EVO a while back, I was able to get 2mbps in New Haven, CT. Never saw those speeds on 3G ever again anywhere else I've tried (NYC, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Chicago).
As far as the airave is concerned, I wouldn't use it for 3G anyway (obviously you have a wired broadband connection). My understanding is that the airave is intended to give you voice coverage in weak signal areas. Latency on 3G for me is like a flip of a coin. Sometimes I get under 100ms. Sometimes its a few hundred. In the same location too.
Currently
Ehrpd: 2223dl 998ul
(That is pretty much my average speeds at home)
At work I get an average of 2500-3200dl and no less than 1000 on upload. WiFi I get an average of 17,000-20,000

I was just testing it out of curiosity. It's kind of an odd feature, since you'd likely have wifi available if you have a broadband connection. Maybe they offer it for people who don't own a wireless router?

I hardly go anywhere that doesn't have WiFi. My WiFi at home pushes 60Mbps download and 11 Mbps upload. Work WiFi is about 30Mbps download and 5-6Mbps. When I get on 3G (Don't have LTE just yet) I get maybe 1Mbps and around .5Mbps. I am obviously spoiled by my home/work WiFi. I caught LTE a few times in Tampa and the numbers looked promising.
I've scored 2700 at my house, and that's around what I usually get at home, although it doesn't really matter to me as I get ~22 down on LTE at home and the same on WiFi. I live in a suburb of Los Angeles if anybody wanted to know

I wonder what is is about the Airave that cuts the numbers back so much then.
My home wifi will give me about 20 mbps DL. LTE in my area has given me up to 28 mbps DL. I have terrible signal here at home (1 bar) and I pull 1 mbps DL. I'll check it later when I leave home.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Home WiFi tops out around 30Mbps and the fastest I have seen on 3G is 2.5Mbps down. Ironically, I know exactly where I have to stand to get that 3G speed.
I average around 1-1.2 Mbps on 3G unless in the building where I work which in some cases reduces my 3G all the way down to 100 Kbps, aka, worthless. That however, is not so much a network issue as it is me being pretty close to the middle of the building and Sprint's spectrum not being able to penetrate the building well.
Evdo rev a's max is 3.1 Mbps down I believe.

Sprint seems to be lighting up LTE in my area in stealth mode. I get LTE in more places but it keeps dropping back to 3G, then back to 4G. I dont get much more than 20Mbps. There must be a way to force it to stay on 4G if in range. Gets annoying to keep losing connection.
