[Q] Tethering Speeds Very Very Slow - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running Infected Rom Kingdom (downloaded 2 weeks ago), PRI Version, 2.15_003 and PRL 60683. Downloaded the newest radio package from the forum yesterday. Paying for tethering too...
Still getting .2 down and .2 up. Called sprint and they recommended "updating my profile" however, I can't find that option anywhere on my phone.
Suggestions?

That rom is a port from a non sprint phone so you can't update prl. Flash back to a another rom where you can like shooter mikg classic

The problem isnt the rom, its sprint. Welcome to the "now network", where 3g speeds have been slower than dial-up for years

Not slow at all

It depends where you are, but for the most part 3g speeds are atrocious on sprint. 4g speeds are pretty good however.
-EVO-

I'm one of the lucky ones

Flashed to Shooter. Still getting .20 down and .20 up. Signal is -90dBm .
Updated PRL and Profile.
What else can I do?

Switch to Verizon. Sprint sucks, the data is pretty much unusable.

Any reason I wouldnt be able to connect to 4g in a 4g covered area?

I currently cant connect to 4g at my house, sprint and clear show im in a good spot for 4g but I cant seem to connect. About 3 weeks ago when I got the phone I wasn't in a covered area but it appears they just added a new tower and now I am. I didn't try to connect again before I flashed a new ROM however. Ive also tried standing outside on my deck to no avail.
Specs are attached as well as my coverage map. If we can get this fixed I'll paypal you a beer.

The coverage map for my city is completely wrong. Using Sensorly to map for a couple weeks showed what I have already observed, massive holes in the coverage here despite Sprint showing solid coverage.
That doesn't mean that's the case where you are at. Find someone else who gets 4g and try yours in the same area.
Agreed, I believe that most coverage maps are for the most part utter BS. Try going back to stock to rule out rom issues. Were you ever able to connect to 4g in a known 4g area?

if you've installed the latest OTA and wimax and you have your phone rooted, this might be the problem.

I'm running DC 3.2.3 with the radios that came along right at the same time as that release.

hell yeah man, thanks alot to you!
The latest radio and wimax is a big improvement, I could never go over 5-6 on the old radio. On the new ones I just got over 10Mbs today. I think for you to use the new wimax radio you would have to wait for Damage to update his rom though. Im on the latest fresh rom.

Don't know why I keep getting like. 1 mbps everywhere I go. Is it just sprint in my area? Or do I have a hardware problem. I rarely see 3 bars and I never see 4 like ever. I remember doing technofiles Verizon prl Hack but it didn't like my phone very much so I RUUd and updated my prl. I don't think that's my problem. I'm in a heavily populated suburb of Sacramento idk why the coverage would suck...

your best bet is to try the prl again.... thats the only way i ever get a faster 3g connection. i switched back and forth just to see my sprint speeds again. lol
I am having the same problems. I have searched for answers and have tried running the newest RUU for the 3.70 version and it still isn't working any better. I went to my local Sprint store and they said there was no problem. If I do the Sprint Zone "I need help" and it checks my connection status it shows that both voice and 3G connections are good. Something is going on and not sure if I need to take phone back and exchange because of bad radio. 4G does work when I drive 40 miles to a city that has it. So, that is not a problem. I know there is another thread on data connection problems but people read different ones and hopefully someone who has experienced and found a solution can give us some insight. Nothing like paying $94.00 a month for less than dial-up speeds!! Thanks and have a great day to all.

Horrible 3G speeds should i be concerned?

I'm having horrible 3G speeds at work here and was wondering if anyone else was having these issues? It shows i have full 3G bars yet when i run speed test i'm consistently getting only around 100 Kbps, I'm not sure if it's the service or the phone.
Anyone else noticing ridiculously slow 3G speeds?
Not sure. Here are my Verizon 3G speeds.

Here's my past couple ones on 3G. I dunno whether or not to call Verizon about this or not.
Why wouldn't you call Verizon about it? If it's a network problem, they could tell you. If it's a defective phone, they could help you with that as well.
I always get horrible 3g speeds at my job... similar to what you are seeing even though the signal is good. I think some towers are slower then others.
Were you getting better speeds before this phone?

Those look identical to Sprint 3G speeds.
Where are you located?

I would give verizon tech support a call, maybe they can provision the phone again and and maybe that would help. You're sitting in a good 3G and 4G area, there isn't any reason to get those kind of speeds you're seeing.

20kb/s download speed over hspa

just decided to test out my normal data speeds when home and not using wifi and im shocked to find out im only getting in the 20-40 kb/s a second download while the upload is a normal 1500-2000 kb/s most of the time. my internet/play store/etc were working fine while i was at work yesterday over the tmobile network, not sure of exact speeds though. i cant remember the last time i used the mobile network at my house and not wifi so i cant tell if its my house as a problem or just some flukey network problem but ive been trying to find everything that would cause this with no luck so far. any ideas?
Are you rooted and do you have your IMEI? What's your signal strength? Go to settings / about phone/ status and signal
I personally average between 73-85dBm and I gt good speeds

yes i am rooter but i still have my imei, i was just out for a bit and did a speedtest near the store and it came out decent enough. just got back home and getting around 7.2 mb/s down and 1.4 up with a 340 ping, not great but workable. im guessing it was just on tmobiles end, and a coincidence it worked itself just in time for me to test it again out of the house thanks for the help!
