Don't know why I keep getting like. 1 mbps everywhere I go. Is it just sprint in my area? Or do I have a hardware problem. I rarely see 3 bars and I never see 4 like ever. I remember doing technofiles Verizon prl Hack but it didn't like my phone very much so I RUUd and updated my prl. I don't think that's my problem. I'm in a heavily populated suburb of Sacramento idk why the coverage would suck...

your best bet is to try the prl again.... thats the only way i ever get a faster 3g connection. i switched back and forth just to see my sprint speeds again. lol

I am having the same problems. I have searched for answers and have tried running the newest RUU for the 3.70 version and it still isn't working any better. I went to my local Sprint store and they said there was no problem. If I do the Sprint Zone "I need help" and it checks my connection status it shows that both voice and 3G connections are good. Something is going on and not sure if I need to take phone back and exchange because of bad radio. 4G does work when I drive 40 miles to a city that has it. So, that is not a problem. I know there is another thread on data connection problems but people read different ones and hopefully someone who has experienced and found a solution can give us some insight. Nothing like paying $94.00 a month for less than dial-up speeds!! Thanks and have a great day to all.

[Q] Fastest Speedtest

What's the fastest speedtest? I've seen 9 on YouTube, has anybody got any faster?
My Dl speeds have been quite slow, but for some crazy reason the other night I was DL at 600kb UL at 6mb
i know.
i didn't typo that. i was uploading 10 times faster than i was downloading, and i was uploading faster than my home internet connection will go.
I've hit 7.2 download a week ago. I normally average between 4.5-6.

Are you talking on the cell network or any speedtest? I can get 12mbit download and 5mbit on wifi but cell network i get nothing until hsdpa+ comes to chicago

I've gone up to 4.5 Mbps. Haven't done many speed tests.
Let me preface this with I work at a Radioshack.
When we first got the G2's in, before the phone actually launched, I tested one out just to see what kind of speeds it could get. My store is in a 5 bar HDPA+ area. The first test out of the box I got 8mpbs, and the second I got 10.5mbps, every one after that was ~10. After the phone launched and a few weeks went buy I got mine and iv been getting between 4-7mbps in the exact same spot.
So the phone is capable of it, but now that tmobiles network is getting more hammered by HSPA+ phones its slowing down I think.
The highest I received was 5.8 and that was in Las Vegas....
fastest i ever got was 4.85 mb/s after the ota. but it wasnt on hspa+ just hspa 7.2.. still just "3G"...
Taken in Plano, TX. Don't really like the fact that my wife's Vibrant will go to the server in Dallas and my old MyTouch always went to the one in Dallas, but my G2 will not find it for anything.
I've gotten around 7 or 8 as my highest in Western New York. Pretty decent speeds.
i can't figure this one out.
Normal:
I would like to post my Speedtest result but cannot figure out how to paste it in a message. I feel like an idiot, help?

I tested out in aurora once, said I was >5 miles from the server and I got a whoppin 8.6 mbit down. It was about the fastest I've ever tested but I average around 3-5mbit anywhere else.

[Q] Tethering Speeds Very Very Slow

I'm running Infected Rom Kingdom (downloaded 2 weeks ago), PRI Version, 2.15_003 and PRL 60683. Downloaded the newest radio package from the forum yesterday. Paying for tethering too...
Still getting .2 down and .2 up. Called sprint and they recommended "updating my profile" however, I can't find that option anywhere on my phone.
Suggestions?

That rom is a port from a non sprint phone so you can't update prl. Flash back to a another rom where you can like shooter mikg classic
The problem isnt the rom, its sprint. Welcome to the "now network", where 3g speeds have been slower than dial-up for years

Not slow at all
It depends where you are, but for the most part 3g speeds are atrocious on sprint. 4g speeds are pretty good however.
-EVO-
I'm one of the lucky ones
Flashed to Shooter. Still getting .20 down and .20 up. Signal is -90dBm .
Updated PRL and Profile.
What else can I do?

Switch to Verizon. Sprint sucks, the data is pretty much unusable.

20kb/s download speed over hspa

just decided to test out my normal data speeds when home and not using wifi and im shocked to find out im only getting in the 20-40 kb/s a second download while the upload is a normal 1500-2000 kb/s most of the time. my internet/play store/etc were working fine while i was at work yesterday over the tmobile network, not sure of exact speeds though. i cant remember the last time i used the mobile network at my house and not wifi so i cant tell if its my house as a problem or just some flukey network problem but ive been trying to find everything that would cause this with no luck so far. any ideas?
Are you rooted and do you have your IMEI? What's your signal strength? Go to settings / about phone/ status and signal
I personally average between 73-85dBm and I gt good speeds

yes i am rooter but i still have my imei, i was just out for a bit and did a speedtest near the store and it came out decent enough. just got back home and getting around 7.2 mb/s down and 1.4 up with a 340 ping, not great but workable. im guessing it was just on tmobiles end, and a coincidence it worked itself just in time for me to test it again out of the house thanks for the help!

Can anyone tell me what is t-mobile 4G speed

Hello,

Depends on your area but my average speed is:
Upload: 1-2Mb
Download: 5-6Mb
It also changes depending on the rom you have if your rooted, for instance with serenity rom my speed is:
Upload: 3-5Mb
Download: 9-10Mb
Depends on your area, this is what I get around Columbia, sc

I am located in NYC, so most likely I would get awesome speed
Speed varies, even within like 10 feet.
Nyc should get good speed expect lite low 8 to high 20 average most likely 12

Check this to see if your area has been upgraded to hspa+42. If its not listed you're probably going to be on +21. (Maybe slower still in rural areas).
http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/articles/hspa42-fact-sheet
On +42 people seem to get on average 12-18Mbps downlink with peak speeds up to 28Mbps (fastest I remember seeing reported)
On +21 averages seem to be in the 4-9Mbps range with peaks up to 15Mbps.
Of course these are averages and peaks so ymmv. Check my modem thread sticky in the development area. Post 2 has a map where you can see if people in your area have reported their speeds.

Really depends on your coverage area. I sometimes get 25 down sometimes 9...upload is around 2
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
im also getting dl speeds of 6-10 mbps, upload 1-3 mbps
Highest reported in the post your top data speed thread I have created is 29mb. But I think I've seen above 30 on youtube... its no LTE 40+ that I've seen at&t do but it can get the job done that's for sure.

Incredibly slow 3G data; is Sprint throttling me?

So, for the majority of last month I recall having absolute **** speeds on 3G ranging from 20 to 70 Kbps occasionally reaching to something like 120Kbps. This is in my normal coverage area where I can often get from 1100 to 1800 Kbps. I had thought that I might be getting throttled since I used a total of like 14GB of 3G last month. The new billing cycle started today and I'm still getting the same horrid speeds. What gives? I've already reflashed my ROM and modem without any benefit. Anyone else know what could be going on?

Sprint is the problem. LOL I'm not sure have you tried contacting Sprint? I'm jelly that you can even achieve 1200kbps.

Hahahahahahaha I remember those days. Man that's how bad sprints service is. That's why I left them and went with Verizon.

Seriously? Who would stay with a carrier that would take 5 minutes just to load a picture? I'll be sure to call them later. For some reason that never crossed my mind.

I tried Sprint briefly years ago, sounds like they haven't improved much since then.
if not for the LTE in my area (san antonio) sprint would be unusable.
It sounds like 1X data speeds and not 3G, some of the stock roms display a 3G icon even when connected to 1X data. If you use the speedtest app
it will show a graph of the results, if the speed graph looks like it hits a ceiling around 100k,.it is probably connected to 1X data.
If you see multiple spikes in the graph well above 100k, it is probably a crappy connection/signal.
Same here. I'm on Virgin Mobile, but it's apart of Sprint too. It's been crappy for the past week.

I'm on Sprint. Get about 500 to 1000kbits on 3G in my area. I understand they're not great in all areas, but the price is good.

So. Uh. If that isn't the best speed test you've ever seen? I think Jellybro has the 1x indicator fix and the normal upload speeds seem to indicate I'm on 3G. Sprint dude just said to take it to a store. I guess I'll do that. Unless going back to complete stock might fox something. I'll try that next.
