I have 1x everywhere I go and I'm using EK02 and prl 60683. Is there anything I can do to get 3g speeds?

just curious what everyone gets as far as tmobile speed? As i just came from at&t which i was getting great speeds of 2-3 megabits. i switched to tmobile and my speeds suck in 3g areas(note HSPA+ is not available here yet) I dont really get the H signal much which sucks when it does get rolled out in my area. I am curious thos when it does will i see increase in my 3g speeds even? also what kind of speeds are you all getting?
i am currently in 3g/h never gotten more than 512-600 kilobits....
like i said i just came from at&t nexus one and man these speeds are reallly killing me i like the phone but just dont think i can handle these low speeds! will i see an increase even in 3g areas when it is rolled out? and what are your alls speeds. to summarize. Also when it does get rolled out will they expand it any or just where it is now will get better speeds?
sorry for wall of text and jabbering on!
In Charr I pull a steady 5mbps down
it all depends on which tower your receiving from bc that tower could not been upgraded completely yet

so then im guessing you are in there "4g" area?
also when you are in a 3g area do you notice a speed boost? or do they upgrade all towers to hspa+ so what once was 3g is not "4g"?
Check my signature - that's about average for me at my house... Elsewhere around the county I get around 5MB download...
Upload is always maxed at 600kb.

yea but i noticed once im out of 4g areas my speeds drop in half but i always get like 1.2mbps up
does anyone know if when they upgraded towers they noticed more 3g areas 4g? or was it already the 4g areas just got that speed boost?
January of this year when I first signed on with T-Mobile I only had EDGE speeds anywhere in this county. They upgraded to 3G probably in March. I was seeing H showing up on my phone around the same time but the fastest downloads I was getting anywhere was only around 3MB. When I got a Vibrant (July) I saw the speeds slowly creep up to 5MB almost everywhere.

thats pretty good i wish i was getting those speeds on 3g! thank you for info!
I get around 3mbps on 3g and as high as 7mbps on "4G" with an average of around 5-6mbps

did you have tmobile before they upgraded you to 4g? what 3g speeds were you getting then?
I'm getting about 5mbps average with a peak of 8mbps

Driving around and then hanging with a friend at a bar. Both of us were getting between 1100kbps and 1600kbps download on 3g as reported by speedtest.net. Our 4g was only getting 300-800kbps.
In the exact same location we usually get 50-250kbps on 3g and 6000-11000kbps on 4g.
Now I'm back home (8miles away) and back to the usual non-existent 4g and 20kbps 3g
SOmething is going on with the tower where I was. I'm thinking its part of the upgrades I've read about. Any of you seeing crazy 3g speeds? in normally slow areas?
I complained to sprint for a week about my horrible 3g signal at home and work. At the end my speeds at home went from .02 mbps to 1.5. Has to be a fluke but it's nice nonetheless. I still get horrible speeds at work.

What is your location?

This was in Visalia, Ca
I opened a ticket with Sprint about their horrible 3G speeds (100-200 kbps) during peak hours. Spoke to their advanced support who claimed that the towers I'm connecting to are functioning fine, but I strongly believe that Sprint's 3G network is not scaling up well with all the new Android users they've been adding lately.
I remember when the Touch Pro 2 was Sprint's top of the line device, their 3G data was pretty good.
I have a evo on boost and just went from 2.2 to synergy and put the sol kernal on and now can only get 1x.... no 3g
any ideas?
thanks
anyone? please
Have you checked Boosts coverage area? You may not be in a 3G area. Sprint's ROM will never tell you it's on 1x. MIkROm/Synergy removed that, so that it shows what network you are actually on.
it is on synergy and says 1x, for last 24 hours, no 3g
thanks
Have you guys been experiencing fluctuations in data speeds? Since yesterday I have been going from 3G to 1X all day. Speeds go from 1.6mbps to 50 kbps -____- have tried 5 different modems so far (el26 ek02 fd24 fc18 and fd10) and update profile and prl each time as well. My guess is that its because of network vision.
3G speed in my area is super slow. LTE won't be avail in the foreseeable future.
Would uploading/using custom PRL increase the 3G speed?
Or is custom PRL only increase the availability of 3G coverage?
Many thanks.
PRLs will do nothing for 3G speed. The only way a PRL could improve your 3G is by loading a VZW PRL and roam on them - and then you only get 300 MB/month of data. Additonally, PRLs for Sprint 3G haven't changed hardly at all in the past several years.
Thank you for the quick reply. I guess, I'll just hunker down for LTE to come
