I'm still a little bit new to XDA so I don't know if this has been asked. I'm experiencing very slow 3g speeds on my Evo 4g Nd I was wondering if there is a way to fix it. I'm not rooted if that matters.

Dang, nevermind my post then, lol. Didn't read that part that he wasn't rooted.
To the op, I'm with Blake, why the hell not? Gets to rooting!!
@shonmac11: Go HERE it will explain step by step how to root your phone, nandroid backup, flash a rom, and any other question you have. Remember, if you root your can always UNROOT if you need to for some reason and it's relatively simple too.

Welcome to the club:

From what we have all learned, its a nationwide problem that towers are being overcrowded, and sprint is throttling those towers to keep them from breaking down.

I don't have a computer at the time so I have to wait. At the moment I can only apply a temporary root with z4root.

Call Sprint and have them add it to your bill.
$30 a month though!
Yep...Sprint will fix you right up!
I thought the first unrevoked you could.. heh I don't remember though.. I would just root because it would take just as long to figure out how to otherwise. What's stopping you?

This whole thread is.
You need super user permissions (aka have root) to be able to do this. If you choose to get rooted you just need the wireless thering app and not sprint's hotspot. Rooting is extremely easy. Just read up and ask questions in here (and NOT dev section)
You can have a completely stock rom but be rooted.
so today i just got the data plan on my slide
its pretty sweet and what not, i just recently got a notification saying
"T-mobile update service-
new firmware is avalible"
now im wondering
is this froyo?
should i update?
im not rooted because im a little panzy about rooting my phone, since it looks really hard
but anyways im asking what is this update?
it's most likely the last update that is already here 1.35 which is not froyo just pretty much a patch update for a few things.

Got my speeds back.
No thanks for all the help!!
quickbird144 said:
I've done some searching around but haven't really found anything. This is my second Evo on Boost. The speeds barely raech 400kb/s. My first one was just over 1mb which was decent for me. I am not the one who did the flash either times.
I'm just curious to if someone has any ideas or suggestions or some settings I could try. I do get the 3G icon most of the time and other rare times it may go to 1x.

Have you tried updating to the latest radios?

I don't believe so. I forgot to mention I'm on CM7 Rom and AOSP roms don't offer a EPST which can be critical with this phone being flashed. I'm getting a Sense rom now and gonna see what I can do.
PRI V-60662
Baseband-2.15.00.11.19
That's what I currently have with the CM7 rom.

I got my Epic flashed over a month ago. but they didn't give me the donor phone. I have switched Roms with no issue,but when I manually updated my prl, i lost 3g and my network connection. It called verizon when 611 was dialed. So, I ended up having to take the phone back to the guys who flashed it in the first place.
Long story short...to keep from having to pay theese guys more $ that I don't have, I have not made any changes to the prl or modem.
1. Am I screwed by not having the donor phone in my possesion?
If not...
2. what is safe for me to do with my epic, and what's not?(software wise)
Thanks
somebody! Anybody? C'mon guys, don't leave me hangin...

its already been switched to 40418, which is ok but kinda slow.
I don't know how easy this is, but i figured since alot of roms can now make the 4g/3g indicator distinguish the difference between the two, this shouldn't be that hard.
I've seen someone's Evo 4g and saw how they can choose to always use 3g and then press the 4g toggle widget to use 4g. I'm pretty sure all Sprint 4g android devices have this feature.
I've looked for widgets liked this and found a webpage saying that its so hard to distinguish HSPA from HSPA+ that you can't easily do this. Since when can distinguish it in our notification bar now, (H=4g 3g =3g) I'm hoping someone can incorperate this into their rom. I prefer a sense 3.0 or 3.5 rom.
I'm asking for this because 3g burns less battery, that way I can keep my data always on for things like browsing the web, but when I want to do some hardcore data-eating tasks, I can just turn on the 4g toggle widget.
If this is too hard, can someone atleast point me to an app capable of doing so?
thanks.

sorry, I was actually debating what section to put it in. btw its ironic that I was just flashing an htc amaze camera and got the link from your thread as you posted this...
what sect. does this go in?
wrong section...
and welll... since you're posting a QUESTION, then maybe, it belongs in theQ & A SECTION
I don't think you can switch between 3g and 4G but can do 2g to 4G. Just need to switch to gsm only for 2g.

Alight thanks, I got it from now on. Not gonna keep bumping this thread anymore.
3g and 4g on tmobile use the exact same radio to communicate with the tower. However, 2g on tmobile uses a different radio. That is why you can toggle the two. On sprint they use a cdma radio which is both 2g and 3g but use a wimax radio for their 4g. That is why there is a 3g/4g toggle on sprint phones.
