With all the excitement going on with the Wimax being alpha tested in the CM ROM it got me testing my data speeds the last few weeks.
From my understanding 3G speeds should be decent and range between 1 - 3 mbps down, and using Sprints 3G network I am not coming close to that.
I am using the SpeedTest.net app for my results, and I have read from some posts that the app might not be that accurate.
Here are the results that I have been seeing (displayed as Mbps) using the closest server to me (Random Lake, WI - even though other servers are giving me the same low scores):
1/6/11 - .18 down and .37 up
1/6/11 - .16 down and .30 up
1/2/11 - .30 down and .77 up
12/27/10 - .45 down and .27 up
12/27/10 - .34 down and .27 up
12/27/10 - .12 down and .20 up
12/24/10 - .45 down and .70 up
12/24/10 - .15 down and .62 up
As you can see, not close to the 1 - 3 range that I would expect. I am checking that the icon is showing 3G and 1X when doing the test as well. Here is some information to help deduct and (hopefully) solve my issue.
My EVO is from release day, not the 004 hardware
I'm running CM 6.1.1
CM stock kernal that comes with it - 2.6.35.9 [email protected] #1
Theme is Project_Bliss HD (modded by me to include some different emoticons and Batman themed notification shade)
I have flashed all of the latest
*Radio - 2.15.00.11.19
*Wimax - 27167_R01 (even though where I live has no 4G)
*PRI - 1.90_003
*NV - 1.90_003
I have flash a Sense ROM and update Profile and PRL
I live in Appleton, WI area if that matters at all.
So am I just looking at my results wrong? If I'm not, what are some solutions that I can look at to improve my 3G data speed? Any other test I should run or try?

Thanks for letting Cyanogen know that. So it sounds like I'm not alone in this?
Are you having any issues?
Sent from my EVO (CM6.1.1) using XDA App
A lot of those results look like they could be from when you were connected at 1x speeds. Sometimes it seems like the status bar icon doesn't update quickly for the change in network type. Also, how strong of signal do you have. If you're at the edge of data coverage, the rate might be low because a lot of packets are getting lost in transmission. Have you seen what your speeds look like in other locations? In my home town I regularly get over 2mb, but when I was traveling a few weeks ago in some places I could barely pull 300k.
I have check all over town since my apartment is further away and gets lower strenght. Im getting the same results close or far away from a tower.
Sent from my EVO (CM6.1.1) using XDA App
i started noticing this with my evo aswell, actually about yesterday, my stats are about the same in the OP, i live less then a mile from the 4g tower, i've even been about 200 yards away and gotten crappy 4g signal, anywhere from only 3-4 dl, and barely 1 ul.
Hopefully this helps. I was also experiencing 1x speeds although the phone indicated 3G. I upgraded to an EVO after modding my Hero for the past year. Thus I was pretty comfortable with rooting, installing roms, etc. within 24 hours of getting my EVO I decided to root it and try out some of the roms available.
Almost immediately after rooting using unrEVOked I noticed signiffigantly slower data speeds. (I'm not pointing any fingers, only documenting what led up to this) I first tried out the latest CM6 rom. Upon booting it indicated 1x speeds though posts that I read stated that you are actually recieving data at 3G speeds. I think that CM6 may actually be reporting the data connection accurately while the sense rom is not. Using speedtest.net's app (I know it dosen't report speeds accurately) I was consistently recieving between 80-160 kbs download and 60-100 kbs upload. I then downloaded the same app to my wifes unrooted EVO and ran a side by side comparison. Using the same server and within seconds of testing each her EVO was downloading at 800-1600 kbs download and 600-1000 kbs upload while mine was still recieving at the afore mentioned speeds. I tried updating PRL, profile, running the stock rom to no avail. I then tried RUU and unrooting without any change.
I was convinced that either Sprint was throttling my connection or the transmitter in the phone was defective or damaged. I was ready to return the phone to Radio Shack where I purchased it last week but I decided to call Sprint and inquire about the throttling issue first. Sprint assured me I was not being throttled and they also thought I may have a defective phone but they asked if I would perform a ##DATA# before returning it. Amazingly enough this worked and my data speeds have returned to 3G speeds of around 1000-1400 kbs download.
I'll detail the procedure but I make no guarantees this will work for anyone else. Also you'll need your MSL, there are guides that detail how to obtain this or you can all Sprint and ask nicely. Also I did this while stock and unrooted and I haven't tried to reobtain root again yet so if this works for you while rooted let me know. Finally I believe you'll have to perform this using the stock dialer as I don't believe that the CM dialer will work for this.
Procedure is as follows:
Open dialer and type ##3282#. (##DATA#)
You should now be taken to the epst prompt. Choose "Edit Mode"
You will now be asked for your password. This is your MSL
Next you want to choose "Data Profile"
While in Data Profile hit the "Menu" button at the bottom of the phone.
Next choose "Restore" and allow the phone to reprovision.
Let me know if this works if you try it while rooted as I'd like to reroot again but I'm a little gun shy now that it's fixed again.
I'll give that I try and see what happens. I have to flash a stock ROM first and hope that any changes follow me along back to CM ROM. I am also going to try the Wimax kernal to see if that helps since that ks reporting to be a possibility.

this sorta helped me a bit, but i just also ended up flashing back to 1.77pri and nv, though i still have the latest wimax and radio and 60674prl on myn's rls5, however i'm still experiencing way below average data speeds as compared to what i used to, i have a release day evo with 0002 hardware, and .76 hboot, even my 4g's are slower then what they used to be.
FWIW, I experienced a drop in speed as well. I used to get 1-2 Mbps easy. Now all I get is around 500. Very strange.

i really hope your right, i mean the other day with cmWimax i nailed a 7.61, now i'm lucky if im even in the 3 range for moar gee's, lol, even with reg sense rom's i'm barely in 3 range as well, i have a tower that is only about 200 yards away that is 4g and it still suxor's.
I haven't had a chance to test the above, I'm about to start to do that.
I did try out Sprints Network Speed Test and got results from it above 1.0 finally. Then I tried using the speed test app and it was giving me location in Europo to test? This morning it is back to normal and both the speed test app and Sprints website both were giving the same results - around .80.
I'm going to flash the Wimax for CM and see if that helps out. If not, then I'm going to flash a Sense ROM and do the #DATA# trick listed above.
Here is the website for Sprints speed test website. You'll need the latest Flash installed from the market for it to work.

i have noticed though with this release of myn's that i do keep dropping 4g and reconnecting, something that i have never did before on other dev's rom's.
Well, both attempts to fix it didn't work. The new Wimax for CM didn't give me faster speed and the flashing to Sense ROM to do the ##DATA# didn't help either.
Anyone else have any ideas?
so i was randomly thinking to update PRL and instead it just stalls on the updater, never finishing and then my internet completely stops working even if i click cancel.
can someone help me out here? im currently on Myns warm 2.2 RLS 5 with stock kernel

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I flashed an older RUU earlier and I've been trying all night to get my PRL updated again. It looks like I'm stuck with 60662 for now.
If you turn off your 3G for a second it should come back on but I'm thinking the PRL issue is something with Sprint's network. I've tried just about every ROM/RUU/Radio combo I can think of and nothing. Updating my profile does the same but I haven't tried re-activating it for fear that it will get stuck in limbo.
edit: yup, it's not going to update tonight. I'm going to quit flashing radios now before I brick my phone.
good, ok seems like its a sprint issue then, im located in leesburg, FL just head up guys!!!
also i dunno if anyone else has had this issue but 4g will work but if i run speed tests a couple of times it will randomly stop working without disconnecting...

I'm not too far from you then, I'm over here on the space coast. Sprint has been turning on a lot of 4G here lately so their network hasnt been acting right for at least a week now.
ah thats pretty cool, its good to see that 4g is getting activated or "tested" in alot of FL. even my area is getting it alrdy... and im in old people land... haha
PRL updated.... I finally got my phone back to normal after thinking I hosed it and my 4G speeds doubled what they where day before yesterday.
Signal is still just as weak though.
hmm mine seems to still not update... u do anything differently?
update: nvm there it goes
so i thought i did the right thing...to start from the top...my old evo broke...got a new evo...didnt update the prl...rooted/flashed a new rom and boom...my internet blows...its stuck on 1x...so..i flashed a sense rom...updated the prl...now im missing something because when i go back to the roms i wanna use...its still stuck on 1x...what am i doing wrong?

You're most likely not doing anything wrong. I assume you're using an AOSP rom. Aosp roms show your true signal, if you're on 3g or 1x. Sense roms show 3g all the time, even if you're on 1x. Sense lies to you. Aosp shows the truth. Although there is now a mod that allows you to see true signal on Sense as well now.

A PRL is a "preferred roaming list" and has nothing to do with data speeds unless you're talking about data speeds when you're roaming. Do you mean that you are getting no 3G coverage at all?

Are you sure you are getting 3g at all? Sense doesnt tell you when you are on 1x unless you grab an app for that. Are the 1x culprits all aosp and you are just under the impression you are getting 3g on sense when in all reality you are not? Run a few speedtest.net tests and let us know what your speeds are on both on both. I doubt your speed changed.
hmmm...interesting....well im running MIUI...but its weird...because i used to get good signal...i wonder if maybe this is tying in too all the problems it seems a lot of people are having...im gonna run the speed test right now and see
signal and speed arent necessary related, though i believe aosp does calculate that into theirs. On sense it is (almost?) always separate. Anyhow I have only seen a few phones get "stuck" internally at 1x, no worries that would also be fixable.
You may just be having tower issues, thank sprint for that. Another good question is do you get 3g on a diff tower? drive out of the range of your current tower and see what ya get.
yea im gettin a steady 1x from home all the way to work which is about 15 miles away...
my first test:
Ping: 558ms Dl:125 Ul:148
second test:
ping: 807ms Dl: 126 Ul: 140
3rd:
ping: 786ms dl: 126 ul: 143
im not too knowledgable about this stuff....but i feel like the numbers are good right?
No, those are def 1x speeds. Sprint average is 540k. Being that you have used multiple towers i would assume its the phone. Grab easy settings from triforce, luke and see what the settings are. If you cant get back to 3g you may want to grab the 2g/3g toggle from triforce, luke for a buck and set it to hybrid or evdo only and see if that works. Its the only thing that helped me once.
I tried profile restores, other prls, everything. Have you tried any other prls? I wouldnt suggest a profile restore because you dont have 3g and it needs that to provision.
Have you gone into ##3282# (sense rom), and cleared your profile data (top item, then menu IIRC). This will cause the phone to reboot, and do an OTA activation on the subsequent boot.
Have you messed with your 3g settings - meaning, is the device being forced into cdma mode only??
Which rom did you specifically flash?
And I guess most importantly, before you did anything, did you ensure 3g/4g work with the phone in its stock state?

I had this same issues awhile back and the quoted text is what worked for me.
you can try a profile restore but it may not activate well without 3g. Sprint told me that themselves, so have others...though it did activate for me, i have seen people get stuck though for a bit...
well...from what i understand i guess i have no idea if 3g was working before...i know 4g did work fine...and it still works weather im using the wimax setting on a sense rom or even before i rooted it....so somebody give me a run down of what to try...i read a lot of those suggestions...and to be totally honest...i have no idea what too do...like i said im kinda new to this whole thing
nevermind...i found the thread with the whole step by step process...thanks for your help guys...i got it up and running
So I'm fairly new to rooting and have been flashing a bunch of ROMs since I have and everything has worked fine but today I have noticed that I can very rarely get 3g in my house and a lot of the times its completely gone, I can't even get 1x. I have not messed with radios and I hadn't planned on doing so but what's going on here has anyone else had similar issues? I've flashed different ROMs after full wipes and still am having troubles. What gives?
Edit:
I am also getting really slow USB speeds. Like 10 minutes to put a nandroid backup onto my sd, this used to take a minute or less. What is happening and how can I fix my phone I'm going on vacation tomorrow I need it working
Do a full wipe in recovery, then flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087077
As far as slow SD speed, are you on an AOSP rom? If so, Chad's incredikernel will fix it. Look around on his thread, I think the latest release has it incorporated.
Yea I was trying MIUI so that's that problem.
Edit:
Whew you are a a life safer that brought back my great 3g speeds. I would like to know what exactly this did though and if I can flash new ROMs again and what might have happened to cause the problem.
Another cause for this to happen is that if u flash a Rom with Sprint source and u call the *228 it will mess your phone up and you will need to go back to the incredible official froyo to fix it... I had this issue my self ...

I thought I remembered hearing something about turning the phone on or off while in airplane mode causing this too, but I could be wrong. Glad that you got it working, if you have more questions feel free to ask.
I'm having problems with 3g as well. Has anyone tried applying this then going back to another rom?
It's my understanding that the GB leak fixes it, and you can go back to the rom of your choice after flashing it.
OK... get ready for this doozy.
Any TW ROMs, just fine on 4G, and I mean JUST fine on 4G (MC2 Radio). 4mbps and up (I've had 21 down and 7-12 up at one point in certain areas).
I noticed that 10.1 ROMs started giving me issues with LTE about a week and a half ago when I swapped out to a S4 (just for giggles, it was so painful... I'd rather let you guys kick me in the nuts for 2 straight hours than have to deal with that phone again). That phone was giving me 4G issues on 10.1/2 CM ROMs (100 kbps downs and 5000 ups) but again working well with TW.
At any rate, 3 days later I went back the the Note 2 and I was still having issues with LTE... clean wiped. I tried Rootbox, PA, CM 10.1, etc... LTE was again in the double digits with down and in the thousands with up.
Like I mentioned before, TW roms are just fine... solid numbers in both directions. I have assumed this is my issue, I am not registered on the Sprint Network for data when I am flashing a AOSP ROM. I have my profile updated along with my PRL while on TW (which shouldn't be much of an issue any ways). How can I get this to work without Dialer Codes working? I hate TW with my soul... literally hate. I don't think I've ever hated anything more... maybe fish sticks and butterflies but, it's a close third.
TIA!

So, youre not getting booted to a 2XXX prl when you flash to asop? A week ago that happend to me, i had a 2XXX prl and i had to go back to TW to change it, and that fixed my problem, im sitting inside a building as we speak running slimrom getting 12000Kbit down and 4200 Kbit up.

If I am understanding you correctly:
1) Flash TW (any ROM?)
2) Update PRL / Profile
3) Flash AOSP
3) Check PRL for it to not be 2xxx
4) Profit
I have tried this, but maybe I'll have to manually force a PRL while in AOSP...
Edit: Currently with my TW Rom, I am on PRL 2000 and getting decent LTE speeds (nothing in the 10mb range however).
Which PRL are you currently running with AOSP, because I now have 2000 with PA and sure enough, back to crap. I'll have to force a PRL in AOSP. Not the first time, maybe I'll use a special roaming one
EDIT: yeah, I'm going to go 56XXX but at anyrate, I'll report back once it gets fixed.
What is odd is this... 2000 will work LTE speeds with TW but not AOSP even though it is considered an Emergency PRL (or listed as such). Further more, it seems like service reps know nothing about it (upon further reading).
I appreciate your help but I will let people know since that isn't a common thing around these parts here...

Yep, my next step was a clean install and a restore of apps (not really necessary because that's how I roll) via TB.
I have yet to find an AOSP ROM that I am truly in love with, although Rootbox came damn near close. It's just that Rick is pulled in so many directions that it's hard for him to keep up with that.

4.3 Build? It's pretty much what I'm looking for in the description and TV puts out quality builds.

Man with those 4.3 directions... Blink and you're dead... no wait, that's not right. Just odd, def not the same as other 4.3 builds.
As far as PRL... we... have...LIFTOFF!
I appreciate you helping me out.
So folks, to recap:
1) You should back up your AOSP with a Nandroid (this might not work later as previously stated in this thread).
2) Flash a TW Rom (I usually use the smallest one I can find, Pinky's is decent)
3) "Flash" whichever new PRL you want, not an update, you'll probably keep getting 2XXX, there is a thread in the GS3 forums on how to do that all.
5) Restore your nandroid (this is where it didn't work for me, so I had to basically start from scratch, real men do anyway).
6) Check to see if your PRL stuck!!! It might take a few go arounds.
7) Profit!
8) Did you notice step four was missing? Damn, I wonder if it was important...
Cheers to jd14771, Thanks again!
Sadly, this didn't remedy my issue. I wasn't able to test LTE right away due to my location and when I finally did... Blah. Same results... TW ROMs are on the money and AOSP are rubbish, regardless of PRL. 2000 TW runs with great speeds, so I'll gladly take any other suggestions.
I thought for sure that was the issue when I saw the SG3 PRL thread description too.

I have noticed it as well. When I was using TW, 4g speeds were really good. I reached 20mbps at times. With cm10.1, on 4G, I get around 4-5mbps.
Hopefully there is a way to fix this problem. I don't want to permanently go back to TW ever .
Also just wanted to add... The speeds have nothing to do with the prl...I'm using 56015.

You're getting 4-5mbps, I'm getting double digit kpbs... something is way wrong with mine.
Further oddity, XenonHD (AOSP based), works great (well better, I'll d field test on the way to work... however, last night I was getting 10mbps out front of my house).
