Speed test - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I ran the xtream labs speed test and my upload speed is faster than my download. Up was 1.2 and down was .5 is this normal? This is 3g

Not normal per se, but that's normal for sprint's ****Ty 3g network.

I used to get 2up and 1 down now not even that. Things have gotten worse since September.

Data issues

I've been having really slow data for the past 2 weeks and I'm not throttled my status bar shows a full signal but apps that use data take a while to load any suggestions

What exactly are your speeds?

Reboot device, download speedtest from the market, post the results.

either you are in bad reception area, or you are in a really congested area if you are not being throttled
It's Hard to explain my data works but it doesn't start loading instantly it takes roughly 30 secs to a minute,for the,page to begin to load after it starts loading it does so at 4g speeds

Doesn't seem any faster at all. I can't tell one bit of a difference. I have a 25 mbit connection and it still takes ages to load photo albums. Still a horrible app.

Idk dude every update that Facebook claims to be "faster" and have "less battery consumption" just seems like bull. It sucks battery no matter what and the app is no faster and completely identical to the mobile site. In fact if you just set your profile to send email notifications it notifies you on everything instantly

I have no problem with this, cause I'm one of the few that don't have a Facebook. I know I'm strange

Supposedly the app is a complete rewrite to be Android native...Testing it for myself...I've been a big fan of FriendCaster Pro, so I hope they took a few notes from them
I love the new ui. No problems on my end

I'm on aokp and when my 4g kicks in it is really fast. Guess it's better to use it on WiFi

Does it still eat up data like candy??
Dunno. I'm unlimited data

Cm10.1 data switching issue

When I turn on my data it switches between 3g and 4g and I can't even figure it out
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
That is how it is supposed to work, nothing to figure out.
My gfs phones never switches or anything my phones does all the time
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What is she on and it never switches to what? If she hasn't updated her modem it will stay on 3g all the time. It is like this on every AOSP rom for our phone. Unless there is a theme that edits it out.
If speedtest says it's fine, it's fine.
It just switches from 4g to 3g all the time but I guess I'll have to live with it

Its how its suppose to work. H shows when cell data is accessed and when idle it shows 3g... Not sure why it bugs some people.

Slow speeds? Poor reception?

Recently came from the lg optimus g to this. When I had the G it consistently ran on 4g lte speeds of 15-18 , even saw 21 mbps download ....now on this its rarely above 3/5 bars and hd on youtube takes ages to load...normally id think att docked my speed because im over 5gbs but ive only had this device since sunday and todays the 5th .
Whats going on?
Edit: my galaxy is 100% stock
Stock rom, not rooted, everything stock

Check your apn settings. If it is set to pta, switch to phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Where would I find those settings?
edit: apn settings in this case only option is the phone

Signal doubled with new nb4 kitkat update

Just flashed the full stock with bootloader and modem and my signal doubled.. 2 bars in home to 4-5..
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
But if you look at the actual signal, it stayed the same. I still have -108dB, but "full" bars.
I'm not sure about that because I ran speed tests before and after and it spiked from 18mb down in the middle of the house to 27mb same spot.. And near the window 30+

I have to agree, before the update, I was barely getting hspa+ in my area. Now after the update it's full LTE in the same area.
Thought it was placebo at home the last couple of days but now at work I'm getting a solid 4g signal inside where I used to get no signal at all.
