ok so i got a text message from tmobile yesterday morning saying i have been throttled because of the amount used... ive been throttled before and have had speeds of about 56kbps but this time my speeds have not been slowed down. has anybody else had this happen to them? im running cm7 and i did recently change the radio a few weeks ago to fix the gps issue my current speeds are
2.98mb download
1.54mb upload
those are the speeds i usually get here in this area and i have used 5.51 GB of data
I guess nobody huh

Curious as to what radio you are using and are you always on 3g/4g? We don't get it here so I just wait until I go to work where they have it out there

Even if they do, just switch to edge only networks. Not to be rude but this (exactly what your talking about) has been gone over a lot. There are people, you just gotta search and find it.

12.50.60.24U _26.08.04.16_M that's the baseband for it I don't really remember what thread I got it from and I always have it for 3g only even though its been more than 24 hours since I got the throttled message my speeds are still fast

Every rom Im on forces me to go on 1x instead of 3g. 3g only works on the stock rom. Why is this?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If the roms you're running happen to be aosp roms, then its showing your "true" connection. The stock rom will almost never show when you have 1x because that's how sprint/htc wanted it. On aosp if your connection is really bad (3G) it will show 1x if that's what you really have. To do some test of your own id recommend downloading "mobile signal widget" from the market and compare signal strength both data/voice.

Okay thanks. Ya cuz a sprint Rep told me a few days ago tthat some towers are down so maybe that's whats going on

That could also be the problem lol

i kno in the frederick, md area they just put some 4G (pretty signifcant too) coverage in the downtown area (5-6mbps so far)...so if ur in that area it might maybe have somethin to do with it. my gf had 3g up until today (after a fix supposedly), but now she's on 1x. so im guessin they're puttin more coverage up. cuz over the last few days ive been getting a wider and wider spectrum of 4G in different places in the surrounding area(s).
i'll do the 3G fix once i get a sense rom flashed, and check it out with a update on this thread posting.
Okay so I was with my friend last night who has the same rom as me (CM7) and he had 3G while I still had 1x. Now I have no idea what's going on

Just updated OTA to ek02 and am experiencing slower 3g speeds... with and without the tweak. Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
For me with update, 3g is same, but 4g is almost double.

If they get any slower they'll stop completely (at least for me).
Sprint is so slow anyway that o havent noticed anything yet

I really feel that i am having much slower 3g speeds.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I am really curious tho as to which modem is the best out of all of these
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I'm experiencing slower speeds and my 4G connectivity got even worse...even did a profile and prl update after the update and it didn't help.

Sprint's 3G is stupid slow. It's completely unusable around here. For example, the Android Market. Most things say they are "starting to download" then they never do.
I did a speed test and my ping was like 900~1100+ with a download speed of 7~13kbps and an upload speed of 50~100kbps or so.
Seriously, 7~13kbps download?
The only reason I put up with this crap is I'm almost NEVER away from wireless. I work in the technologies field with full gig-network access on almost all the campuses I'm at threw out the day and 105mbit at home.

Wow, that is really slow. I don't have it that bad lol. But with that ping and those speeds, it seems like something is uploading constantly. That's the only time I've ever seen speed tests like that for me, while i was uploading songs to Google music. That's interesting.
As for the speed test tho, i feel there is an issue with the actually test and specifically our 3g. The reason i say this is because the speed test will give me a result of 40-50kB/s, but then i will download a torrent at like 150kB/s.... all in the same area. Very weird.

Sprints download speed for me is around .12kbs to .45kbs in good reception areas... in the same areas ATT gets 3.5mbs and Verizon is very stable with good reception and stable internet that is around 1.5 mbs... so ATT is wicked fast 3g but the reception and internet are both hit and miss as far as coverage goes. Where as Verizon may not be the fastest internet, they are well within my personal tolerance and needs... and their coverage surpasses ATT by a long haul in my area... notice i haven't mentioned sprint? That's because my download speeds on average are (like previously stated) between 10kbs and 50kbs at most! 50kbs is the fastest I've ever gotten with the speestest.net app! Don't even get me started on call reception.... I've honestly had more dropped calls in a month and a half then I've had with every other company combined throughout my life. End rant

So needless to say... no matter what modem u decide is he best, it will never actually please you or meet any sort of standard for you... i know it hasn't for me

My 3g is pretty much the same bro

Is it me or does 4g seem to be a lil slow today mines keep dropping also it never did that?
Im suffering a very low 4G speed for 4 days. Its close to zero. Only 2G is usable, but slow.

I thought it was just my ROM, but switching from WiFi to 3G/4G takes forever. took about 20 minutes once just to get a decent connection.
maybe it has something to do with the LTE coming and them optimizing towers, to whatever they do.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
I thought it was only me but they must be doing something over there with the tmobile towers i hope it is for the new Lte 4g
The slow speed issue only occurs within my neighbor hood, around 2 mile square. When I drove away, it was back to normal. It never happened before! Sometimes, the speed is very inconsistant, fast for awhile, then no connection!

For some reason lately I've been getting only Edge in my area when normally I get extremely solid H+. I don't know if my phone is acting up (completely stock on 4.1.2) or if AT&T may be upgrading their network in my area, possibly adding LTE. Any ideas why?

Sometimes when I get this, I just airplane mode cycle. Sometimes im stuck on far away towers.

Oh really? I'll have to try that from now on. Thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Let us know if it doesnt work. It happens. If youre getting it a lot. Thats not usual. Or if it happens in your house fron 4g down to edge. It could be an issue with your tower. Or location. Maybe the tower is overloaded and they kick you to another?
This has happened to me once on this phone. And it was on either stock rom or blackout. Cant remember
Sent from GN2 using XDA app
Well where I work I get full signal. Averaging 10 Mbps down on H+. But recently I've only been getting Edge. It could very well be what you said about too many users on one tower. I'll try tomorrow and let you know.

A few months ago when I had my Galaxy S3 I got this problem out of nowhere. I never found a solution even tho I tried going back to stock and several other "fixes". Ended up having to send the phone back and getting another one. Idk if the antenna went bad or what but even on Edge it was unresonble slow
Well I couldn't hold myself back the other night and I flashed Jedi X. Haha. Having no data issues now.

I'm forced to use HSPDA due to the LTE network being overloaded here in SoCal.
Funny thing is, with LTE on, I avg about 3down/10up....with HSPDA, I get roughly 6down/1up. Quite frankly, I care more about download than upload anyway so it's actually better for me
It's now almost 4am ET, couldn't sleep so I'm on my phone. I'm downloading stuff and updating some apps and noticed my speeds are not going above 50k! I'm on the unlimited 4g plan and shouldn't be throttled. I restarted my phone and ran a speedtest and it seemed fine ran a second one and it went right back to high pings and speeds in the 100ks!
something up with the network tonight? Will check when I get up later, and if I'm still getting these crappy speeds I will contact tmobile.

You are getting similar speeds to what I was getting when I was capped. Call 611 and ask them.

it's been working fine now. Not sure what it was, but it was definitely acting like I'll was being capped. I call if it happens again.
