(Q)Slow data w/4 bars - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I have 4 full bars and my 3g keeps dropping, not fully connecting, and downloads around 5kilobytes a sec. I went from cm7 back to my nand of stock sense and still have the problem. I can barely load xda.
Anyone got any ideas why?

Maybe there is some kind of outage where you live?

Yeah what above said. I get 2 bars avg in my house and get about 800kbps, 4 bars I get 1mbps, They may be working on the towers out there also

Any chance you might have given them reason to throttle you data connection down?
I also experience dramatic drops in data speeds at peak times and it is location specific where I live. At 2300 in my neighborhood I get great speeds, but at the same time at work (which is full of people still awake and likely using their network) I get really bogged down.
Either a possible factor?

I think the reason why people get horrible speeds at work is because there is probably too much electronic interference.
But then again, when someone says "work" I imagine someone sitting in a cubicle.

Interesting, 4 bars at my place equals 1.5 to 2.5 mpbs and 1 bar equals around 7-800 kbps.

besides the "3G hack" is there anyway to prevent from being throttled on a non rooted 2.3.3 dinc2?

I was under the impression that even with the hack you can get throttled
But I also understand you need to be using GBs/month to make that happen. Most people would have a hard time getting there.
I stream Pandora ALL the time, and I usually get between 1 and 2 GBs of useage. I'm also using my phone for most of my internet browsing.

There's a lot of things that will influence your throughput. Signal strength is only one of a few. Signal quality and available bandwidth will also influence it. A strong signal with a bit of noise will cause problems.
Try *228 option 2, then reboot, and see if it helps.

There's only two verizon towers in my city if that helps lol. I don't know much about towers but I know one of them is 4G because we have 4G here

I live in Orlando area, and I'm having issues with 3G today as well. Phone keeps trying to sync also. I think Verizon may have network issues today. I haven't installed any new apps, and I only use 1 widget that syncs, which is Twitter.

I'm in Cali and had the same problem late last night. I think they are doing something with the towers cause my signal is fine now.

I'm getting throttled and it sucks. I have been getting 1x internet everywhere I go ever since I reached 3GB in the first week.

Verizon is cracking the whip on "free" tethering. I read in an article that it can be tracked if your phone is on gingerbread. I'm not sure, maybe one of the devs could weigh in, but I read there was code written into GB to help them track it. If I can find the article, I'll link it.

Why such BAD signal?

Okay. I thought I didn't have stellar service in my area. (Bounces from 0 to 2 bars, depending) Now my tutor, who has a DX, pulls 3-4 bars where I get none! Same exact time, same exact place! WTF gives HTC!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
What radio are you using? I noticed a full bar increase when I flashed updated radio
Im stock, unrooted. So whatever they give out stock. Im waiting for OTA gingerbread to root.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
3 or 4 bars seems extreme. Could be a hardware defect. My buddy has DX and we both get no service in my basement and terrible service upstairs. So it's not universal.
Edit: could be your phones are on different towers. I know I seen a thread about configuring what tower you connect to.
I have this problem too! My signal sucks most of tthe time. When im in the 18th floor of a building in Boston I get like 1 or 2 bars. Which radio is best to flash? I've never flashed a radio before
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Thing is guys you can't go by the bars they can be misleading....although the icredible does have a know problem with bad signal but if you really want to know your signal strength go to main menu, then go down to about phone, then click on network signal that's the real signal..... -85 to -75 is about average

Bars are meaningless. They are not a good indicator of signal strength. Follow the instructions posted by newtoroot to see what your signal strength actually is.
The best radio is the one that gives you the best combination of signal and battery usage. No one can tell you which one will work best on your individual phone in your specific location. The only way to know which one will work best is to test drive each one for a few days and se which suits your needs best.
My signal is -91 dbm. Total crap. :/

A word of caution: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL IF YOU TRY TO FLASH A NEW RADIO. THE INCREDIBLE I HOLD IN MY HAND IS BECAUSE I FLASHED A RADIO AND BRICKED MY OLD HTC ERIS

Time without signal?

I'm getting a semi high time without signal. Is it my area or a bug?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
Mines low. Might be the area?
Sent from my Dinc2.
There was a bug in older phones, especially running 2.1. I had it with my Eris. I considered it a visual-only bug...meaning it didn't affect my battery life at all. You could tell if you had it because the Time without Signal would sit at exactly 50%.
From my limited use of my new DINC2, I don't believe it has this issue. So unfortunately it may be your coverage area.
To correct the TWS display, there was a fix involving airplane mode. This would drop the TWS number down after using the phone for awhile. As I said, I'm fairly certain it was inaccurate, as in my city I'm hardly ever without even a 3G signal. If yours is showing something other than 50%, then this bug is likely not the cause.
Mine is 1%.
Mine ranges from 6-24%..prob my area...ft riley Kansas....

I believe doing certain things, such as rebooting your device, will reset the counters. It could be 0% since the last counter reset.

While I do believe your seemingly knee-jerk complaint (that LTE chugs juice - which is well known), you really need to cycle the battery 2-3 times before complaining.
A fresh first ever charge on a brand new battery is never stellar.

Here's what confuses me... If the device was released without LTE, everyone would complain.
But basically anyone with a brain is going to disable it anyways.
Seriously, that's how it goes.

At this stage LTE is something better left turned off unless you need it. Emails being pushed over LTE is a waste of battery. I find LTE to be too power inefficient at present so I don't even consider LTE phones, hence why I have the gsm version of the Nexus..and my battery life is just fine.

Yep. Unless LTE drastically reduces latency then it's like 99% useless to most of us.
If it operates on 700 MHz or some other low frequency like I think I've read then that would be a real saviour to the Verizon folks since the high frequency they operate their current 3G on has serious issues inside buildings.

I've always said this myself. Unless you pay for tethering and need to download .iso images at breakneck speed, LTE on a cellphone is kind of silly.
OMG 32mbps on my phonez!!
I just don't get how 32mbps can "better" stream what 5mbps can do just fine?
But Verizon fans always have their safe ground to say "well, at the end of the day Verizon has better coverage" which is true, but I can count the number of times on one hand ATT had spotty coverage for me in the past 6 years...

LTE download speeds are insane. I'm thinking most people with LTE have tether and use LTE to replace home internet service.
1.8 might be "good enough " for you but I find myself waiting for pictures to load and apps to download a lot. Then again I rarely see more than 1 on 3g. 4g is welcome here.

Crazy theory, but.......

Ok so i have noticed something, I'm in virginia beach and my data speeds are faster when charging. Also they slowdown as the battery goes down. I did 3 speed test while at 45% 30% 15% and my speeds where 0.55 mbps 0.25 mbps and 0.01 mbps. Now I'm charging and i did 3 test (same app and my phone is in the same location) and just got 1.01 mbps 1.10 mbps and 1.35 mbps. So does the amount of voltage in the battery affect the amount of power to the radio? This is the first phone it's done it on..... Like my CPU doesn't get slower as the battery goes down so why are my data speeds?
Edit: I'm on the LG8 modem. Those where my download speeds.

here is the whole link http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/...network-visionlte-deployment-schedule-update/
but the part to look at is this:
"If Sprint waits for 50% completion to launch the Norfolk market, it would make the launch month to be November (should the OEM stay on schedule). If they plan on a 40% market completion for launch, that would be October. You may think that 40% - 50% site completion is not enough to launch LTE service, but it would provide pretty good coverage."
so depending on how much of the towers will be LTE means how long we have to wait.... it will be before 2013 and before December 2012
EDIT: a sprint rep told me we would have WiMax in 2011 (actually it was around this time that we would be getting it), look where we are now.....

Data speeds fast on fresh rom.

When are our phones going to get the 4G lte upgrade?
Now that you're done gut laughing, how come when I flash a rom with a full wipe, my data speeds will be awesome even on 3g, but then later on that day or maybe the next day or so, the speeds just turn right back into the slow ass normal sprint crappy speeds? Anyone else notice this at all? Are there any logical reasons for this? It's so extreme I would almost call it throttling my speeds cause its so significant. It will happen at my house or at work where I know it's not just the change in location that affects the speed. Will go from restoring all my apps in next to no time, to barely downloading a <1 mb app update in less than 5 to 6 minutes.
I notice it on any rom really as long as I do a full wipe. Aosp or tw, it doesn't matter ether or.
And upon searching the web for this issue I found people asking quite frequently about lte on our phones and found it quite comical.
Thanks for any info!

Maybe it's dependant on the time that you're using said data? I imagine it'd be slower with more people on, and peak times should be at 8pm+

Anyone else notice that on large file downloads on 4g, after a few minutes you get throttled to 3g speeds? This includes YouTube and large apps on the play store. And once it's done, the speeds go back to normal.
