[Q] question about data speeds - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Im trying to find out if this is normal. My data speeds have gone to crap. I am on Juggs 4.1 with faux's kernel. I am over my 5 gigs but I have the new APN set up that is supposed to bypass that and even if its not working and Im being slowed down this still seems way to slow. I also have updated my modem through ODIN. Here is what Im getting on Speed Test 827ms ping, 61kbps down, and 35kbps up. I have never been this slow on any of my phones. I would appreciate anyone who can tell me if this sounds way to slow of if it is just normal when being screwed by T-Mobile. Thanks

[Q] My dl speed on 3g at home is 133kbs my gf is 1Mps in same house same phone.

I have a rooted evo using one of about ten roms depending and my gf is unrooted. Now we live in 3g only area and her phone probably has never been in a 4g area where mine is everyday when I go to work. I've tried everything I know to try. The media stream fix, the throttle cap fix on various roms, have the most recent radios and such. Even done the combo package to make certain i have the latest stuff. I'm using prl 01115, 1.90_003,3.70.651.1 and 2.15.00.11.19 on hardware version 0003. Used unrevoked and doesn't matter which bu clockwork up until month ago then used amon ra. I get almost an exact download speed after 100 tests over period of a few weeks at around 133kps. My gf unrooted evo using identical phone with at least week of tests she gets on average about 1Mps. My 4g speeds at work are awesome. Even during the busy period of the day I get 6Mps. I've got as many as 10 to 12 late at night. Get the standard upload as well. I'm out of options? Please help.....i'm past the nob stage i suppose to a rookie, but i catch on if explained as far as extensive stuff goes. Change roms, kernels, boot animations and basic themes and mods are where my experience ends. Any advice?
do you guys have the same PRL and pri? that could account for differences in speed
Yes....doesn't matter if they aren't the same we still get same speeds pretty much, but yes they are the same. A little more info for you. We have same settings as far as roaming etc etc. That isn't it. There is one tower specifically we use. Kinda small town and that tower covers city limits pretty much. There is another by the interstate way the other direction but i'm dead certain we use the same tower. Get about three quarters to almost full signal on both phones in same areas good or bad. Another issue is and I hate to say this, but dude I use my phone alot. I stay online with it god knows how much. Lets just say I use my no cap data like a mofo. My gf however is a sprint data dream. Pays for extra data never in 4g and most blackberry users use more data. Dunno?
anyone else?
I dont put much stock in speed tests, benchmarks etc.... My wife, daughterr and myself all have evos and I've tested all of them and they're all different. Of course mine is the fastest because I'm special...
Sounds like what happened to me. What PRL are both of you running?
I understand what your saying guy, but over a period of two weeks at least five tests per day and they all are within 100 kbs of each other in results and her phone avg is 1.2Mps and mine is 133kbs. Dude that is a HUGE difference. Either i'm being throttled or something is wrong with my phone, but what? I've reset and updated and done every possible thing I can to improve it and no matter what I do my avg speed stays around the same or is zero. I might add that i've done this using several different speed test sites. I range from 120 to 140. I'm out of possibilites. I need help from someone that knows more than me for sure.
We are both running latest. Both phones were updated to the latest prl couple days ago.
I believe some of us are being throttled, to heck with the naysayers! Do you have root explorer? If so try this....
Open Root Explorer
Select DATA
Select SYSTEM
Select THROTTLE, Delete this File/Folder and in a minute or so run speed test again (a few times).
Your speeds should increase, mine do, I go from .200 down to 1.3 down! BUT, the file will rebuild itself within 5 minutes or so, once it does my speeds are back to .200 down. The way around this for me was to use a Hacked PRL #00001 found HERE. This will have you as roaming, but if you use WiFi as much as possible, dont tether your PC to download Torrents, it should be OK. I havent seen where anyone has been canceled from using this Hack, yet anyway
cool....gonna give it a try. be back in few and give results.
Or you could just downgrade your prl like me. I went back to 60675 and dl speed s are back up

Fix: I dont take the credit, but just letting you know.
First, I downloaded the sprint PRL's from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029900)(thanks to cordell12)
They should be in the second post. After downloading, unzip them onto the root of your SD cards.
Then, download the EPST.apk (I have attached it). In Android 2.2, they removed the ##775# PRL functionality, and this .apk will give the functionality back. Download the .apk and move it to system/app folder using root explorer. Tap to install.
After it installs, go to a dialer (you need to have a sense on I believe) and press ##775#. It will prompt you to enter your MSL.
After entering the MSL, it should take you to a screen with the "Update PRL" option. Click it. After a few seconds, it should bring up all the .prl files you have (you unzipped them earlier). Choose the 60677.prl file. Click ok.
Press the menu capcitive button, and click "Commit Modifications". The phone will automatically reboot.
P.S. Can you test your speed and tell me if it worked?
Sorry...Easter bunny showed up for my gf lil girl. Ok I'm here on my Evo on stock browser lil slow.
Just follow what I said earlier...it worked for me

Mine will vary from a .200 to 1.0 increase (depending on time of day) just from deleting that file. I tried to change permissions on the file and when it went to do whatever it does I got sent into a never ending bootloop It took a nandroid to bring me back!

Are the ROMs your running AOSP?
If so, flash to a sense rom and update prl and and profile.
I had a huge drop. from 1.3mb to 300kb, because id been on AOSP for so long and had ignored my profile, i was only two prls behind, profile can help alot
After updating my PRL my 3g data speeds were pretty bad, sounds the same as your problem. I did this and it fixed it right up, back to normal now.

No 3G data on my new SGS3

So I got a new SGS3 and it works fine, except when I am in 3G. When I am in 3G I can receive and place calls but no data. Att support was no help, so I figured I would check here. As far as I can tell it is either a APN, Gateway, or Account settings issue (the later being something I can not do anything about). I say this because my n1 gets signal fine here, and it seems to run fine, so long as it is 4g.
Any ideas? Also, does the SGS3 have EDGE support?

Bump: And also I tried to set an old APN but that didn't help.
Have you rooted and flashed it or are you stock? If you are just stock...there is nothing this forum can do to help really.

I have not rooted or anything, I have tried some APNs but I was hoping other people might help me out with something else to try. I don't really buy the whole " if you are stock... there is nothing that can be done" What if I was trying to get help with a stock developer build of my n1 (which I have previously) or are you asserting that without rooting I will not be able to fiddle with the modem settings?
What I'm saying is the phone comes ready out of the box. Unless you have changed something then it is a network problem. You will have to take it up with AT&T.
U can only do so much stock....and thats not alot! Root and use stock rom so u will have root access to see whats what...and to be able to control what u do or dont want ur data to do

Thank you guys for trying to help but I know all this. I am just in the period of time I can take it back and I don't want to risk that by bricking it while monkeying around.
I (Maybe) have isolated the problem, they said that I was set up for LTE and there are some issues with proper propagation of properties. Anyway problem "May" only effect people on ATT with Samsung S3s bought at BestBuy locations and the upgrade includes unlimited data. Still working will update tonight....
BUMP!

.56 speeds looks like throttled speeds. Do you have unlimited data? If so, have you passed 5gbs?

Thats a lot of data. I've gone as high as half that in a couple days. But some people have been saying that it's to obvious because your phone can't possibly burn through that much data. So eventually you might get dropped for violating the terms of use agreement. Idk. This is what I've been told. Just a heads up. That's allot. Plus I fear the day they do away with unlimited data because its used as a home internet service. ... Just saying... That's alot of fuggin data for two hours on a smartphone!! Haha lmao. See if you can hit a hundred!
I tethered my g3 with a playstation 4 and downloaded a full game to see if it would let me without hitting a limit, Thanks for the heads up. Have a few games to download in coming months I'll see if I can hit 100gigs.

My phone shows no data whenever I switch it to ipv4 anybody else having that issue?
data
I set everything up just as your instructions say and so far so good! I am however using skydragon rom with there kernal as a note. What im wondering is how do i tell the difference between using data and using hotspot data? How can i be 100% sure im not going to get a enormous bill at the end of this months cycle?
If you use prime thether mod and use a butt load of data t mobile can't do anything about it. There plan says UNLIMITED DATA! I know Netflix uses a lot, so it's hard for them to figure out on what your using the data for. I've gone as far as 90gb of data last month two months and nothing.
i cant seem to get this Mod to work. i switch roms switch modems. tried both, 10m and 10c and cant get it to work switch apn to Apn to APV4 and cant get it to work. i restarted my computer, my computer connects but there is no DATA coming thru, i tried with other devices, they connect but no data!. I Gave up.
Question. Is the tethering supposed to turn off automatically if it isn't being used? Never noticed this before but lately when I'm steaming to my tablet at work using this mod, if i pause what I'm watching the tethering is turned off. I'm usually gone about 15 minutes when it happens. No biggie i guess but i never noticed this before. Thanks.
SOAB. I just saw there was an option set by default to turn off after 10 minutes. Nm my Question.
Hey guys jusst switched from having samsung line up For many years.

Anyone using a custom rom and still have the hot spot bypass?
I've been using the latest CM11 build, and I hit 270GB last month, so it's been working with other roms for me.
Is there a way to add a Hotspot Quick settings icon?
trouble flashing 10c
I have been trying to flash this mod for the last couple of days and get a failed message in twrp everytime. I tried renameing the file to simply "primetether.zip" but continued to get the same failed message. Any ideas of what i may be doing wrong? any help is appreciated. I am currently running the lonely rom 1.2

Hay there I was the one who made that rom and 1.2 is pretty much pure stock + sd card kitkat fix so it shouldn't be on the rom side. If you have any xposed modules running I bet it is the problem or outdated twrp. Try to update twrp with twrp manager from the play store and/or remove all xposed tweaks. If I can give you some advice unless you really like 10C the lonely rom you might want to find a new rom. Sadly I don't have the time and will not be able to update that rom (at least not in the next couple months). I am going to request it to be locked after I do some changes in the op.
Edit* I just remembered I have two 1.2 versions. the first 1.2 was up for about 4 hours before I took it down and turned it into 1.3 so if you have the version that has the 2g/3g/h/4g icons (no 4g lte because H is what tmobile calls 4g and lte is the only true 4g) it is now the 1.3 version and has changes that will not work with primetether. Simply dirty flash the corrected 1.2 over your current build and primetether should work. Quick link to the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/development/rom-lifes-stock-rooted-t2821821
Does any body know if this mod works with any 5.0 roms?
Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a version of primetether that works with the stock lollipop coming soon?
no more tethering?
Yes I also ran in to this problem last night. No matter what Rom I use, the Tmobile screen pops up when I try to access my browser. What has happened? Has T-mobile found a way to stop AOSP tethering and prime tethering?
I just tried installing SR Remix and it still doesn't work.
