Hello guy, First of all i just want thanks all the Dev's out there, rooted my Phone about 3 weeks ago and cant stop tweaking it, well messing it up and goin back and figering out what went rong. lol. This is my problem i am running CM7 nightly (7) and i get around 1000- to 2800 kbps download but the upload rate is funny its all over the place some time its around 300kbps and then will drop to 10ish kbps. ive tryed turning the sync data off. and still the same. What do you guys think. Thank you so much for your time.
Over WiFi or 3G?

Its when im using 3G my signal strange is good.

Hey guys. I dont know if this is a big issue or not because my phone doesnt drop calls or anything. After rooting and going to CM6 my bars for sinal don't seem to ever want to jump past 2. And if they do get past 2 its only for a split second then my bars drop again. I know theres a RADIO and a WIMAX to flash as Ive read but never knew if that was necessary or not. Anyone have any ideas?
I am on CM6 official and I have the same problem, I have reflashed multiple times as well. My internet speeds are horrible speedtest and xtremelabs reads me at about 500 kbps tops. In the past I was getting 1.5 mbps easy.
I believe the bars dont represent signal strength but 3 g signal strength. I've been using cm6 since the first nightly

I have heard this before but it does not explain my slower data speeds. I have been using Evo since launch I download constantly and browse the web on a daily basis. Since going to CM6 I have noticed a considerable decrease in speed.
-I flashed to the latest radio updates
-I went back to an earlier rom and made sure the pri is updated
-I've reflashed multiple times
Still no help and speedtest and xtremelabs speedtest has me rated at half of my usual internet speed.
Thanks again!
I have no idea what is going on, but my 3G speeds have gone to ****. I've tried everything to get them back... I just don't get it...
This is with 2 'coverage' bars on CM6...

How long ago were you getting good speeds? Because it could just be the Sprint network, because they have gotten a lot of new people because of the new phones to come out, and that could be the cause.
I've had my phone since Aug 11th... So almost a month and a half... My speeds have just got worse and worse as time has gone on... Maybe the network is overloaded, I don't know... but man it sucks.

Try rebooting. I was having that same issue some weeks back. I was hitting > 14.4kbps on 3g and 3.2mbps on 4g. I did a quick restart and 3g shot back up to 600ish kbps.

sometimes this is the case, not just the evo, but having to reboot the wife's hero also.
I notice that at night my speeds drop dramatically. I can play youtube vids in the day time without any stutter but once it's about 8pm the numbers on speedtest drop and I have constant buffering. I don't know if it's because everyone is home and bandwith is being used a little heavier or if sprint automatically drops the bandwith at night.
I've tried rebooting multiple times with no luck... looks like I'm either being capped or in high usage area...

your ping is pretty terrible too - did you try other servers?
My 3G got really bad right before the unofficial launch of 4G here. Not quite as low as what you show, but BAD compared to what it was.

Welcome to Sprint, mine is exactly the same. I can rarely get over 500 kbps at night but can usually get 1 mbps or better during the day. The weird one is that at night my upload speed is almost always higher then my download speeds.
Night before last I noticed my browser was unusually sluggish so I did a speed test. Download was 39 kbps upload was 150 kbps, did a test the following morning and it was 1101 kbps down and 550 kbps up.
This is in a very rural area, so I seriously doubt if the tower I am connecting to is getting overwhelmed with bandwidth usage.

Haha, I can hope my man...
Wow, yeah that's pretty bad. I am getting 960Kbps (1040 max) down and 88Kbps (158 max) up speed on one bar (-89dBm)... ran Speedtest right now to check what I'm getting.
Stuff might very well be congested over there, although one way to for-sure rule out bandwidth capping is are you doing anything to cause them to cap your bandwidth?
I'm consistently hitting right around 400 kbs down and 800 kbs up, the only time I hit higher is when I'm roaming then it's 1 mb down.

Not that I can think of.. I use my phone a lot, but it's not like I'm browsing torrents or anything... Most of my bandwidth is probably youtube and ROM downloads...
Does the rom you run have any affect on 3G speeds? I've been running CM6 forever though basically...

I'm on CM6, the 9/19 nightly I think (or 9/20 I can't remember). I don't think it has any affect on 3G speeds. I flashed the latest radio and PRI if that makes a difference (didn't notice one).
Well, ill start off by saying "Im james! "
I recently made the switch to android because i absolutely love the capabilities and the functionality. I got myself an Incredible. Rooted and and installed Redemptive revolution and got sucky battery life. Then yesterday it starts raining and gets really cloudy. I lose my 3g coverage about an hour into the storm. Im guessing this is normal? Well i decide to install Myn's two point two, with kinxklick's LV kernel in an attempt to get better battery life.
My current standing: Im running Myn's 2.2 with LV kernel and my 3G is still timing out and crappy. My brother's Dx gets Fair signal during the storm, should i be worried about my phone? Ive wiped several times and i still get like 60 kbps down while he gets above 400 kbps.
So my questions are:
1. Is there something wrong with my incredible? Or is the X's signal generally better then the HTC's?
2. What ROM and kernel combination would give me the best battery life?
Its at :
Android System: 70 %
Display: 16%
Cell Standby: 14%
During the time writing this, my 3G has dropped at least 6 times. Is it normally like this during cloudy rainy weather?
Thank you in advance, and i Love the site by the way!

Was this happening before you rooted your phone and installed a different ROM?
Sent from my other girlfriend, according to my current girlfriend.
The Incredible generally displays fewer bars of service than other Verizon phones, but it's still getting the same signal. I can sit right next to my dad with his Droid, I'll have 1 bar and he'll have 4, but we both have the same dB for signal. And it never loses 3G unless I'm in a well-insulated building. I might suggest exchanging your phone as it sounds like you may have a defective antenna.

It happened in the duration of me having the redemptive revolution Rom. Then it just went psycho.

I was thinking about doing that, because my download speed wont pass 200 kbps and its annoying the hell out of me! Its going on and off 3g all the time, so its killing my battery too.
I apologise if this has come up before. However, and I don't understand why, my HTC DEsire was running perfectly about 2 weeks ago. But for some reason after I installed the iNSertCoin ROM my internet speed and market download speed is INSANELY slow. My phone says that I've got a 4 bar HSDPA connection so this really shouldn't be occuring. I've reverted back to the GingerVillain ROM (the rom I used before iNsertCoin) and it's still a problem.
I've tried many different Radios with the correct RIL's and nothing seems to work. It works fine with wifi (don't know why that would help but meh )
Help would be much appreciated guys. THanks.
Is anybody there?!
Come on guys. Someone help lol
You do realise that using something like HSDPA or 3G connects maybe miles away. It also depends on how much connection your carrier is giving out. Just use Wi-Fi or something but using something like HSDPA isn't always guaranteed to be 100% fast at ALL times.
Check at your carrier if you have any kind of maximum bandwith use. Maybe after like 200MB data transfer your account gets limited speeds. Fair use policy or something. Maybe that's why your speeds are so slow.
My plan is Unlimited Internet and I'm 100% sure I don't use so much that I exceed the fair-use policy. And my point is that 2 weeks ago it was perfectly fine. The speed was fine and I haven't moved house or anything. Just seems very odd that it would drop so much. For example, it takes me A VERY LONG time to download an app now. Before, this wasn't the case.
i recently flashed CM 10.2 nightly and at first things seemed normal but then i tried to download some things and i noticed it was taking forever. I was using 4g lte near my house and usually i get at least 6mbs but i ran a speed test on my phone and noticed i was maxing out at around 3 mbs. i tested my friends sprint s3 near my house and he got around 10 mbs i was astonished. i even tried on my 5ghz wifi hihc i usually get a decent 20+mbs and got around the same 3mbps. I updated to the most recent nightly and even tried a stable version and got the same results. any idea how to fix this? please get back to me asap and thanks for your help
