I've experienced a huge inscrease in both download and upload speeds. Not only that.. my connection has actually been reliable and it has ZERO LAG! I thought it was a T-Mobile issue but this fixed it for me.
Thanks goes out to M&S

I think speeds are so subjective. I've gotten 12 down 5 up at my work at the 101/I17 interchange, then .3 down .05 up within a 10 minute window....

For me its been amazing. I've never had instant connection to the internet. Before I had to wait 5 seconds or so for it to connect. And its averaging 8mb higher on downloads

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.

I noticed that I had data problems when my battery was very low. I was wondering the same thing. I actually had what seemed to be my modem not even working when the battery was super low. Like data locked up completely.

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.....

I have no idea why but the past day my phone has been acting stupid. It will send some time texts perfectly fine, but after so many it keeps saying they failed. Like right now I got 3 texts out before it did it. Then I reboot, a couple more and does it again, but apparently the person on the other end is still getting them. I have good signal (I should considering I have a damn airave right below me) I've been running Blu Kuban 1.0.5.0 since it came out so I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM. Please someone help me.

Well how much data have you used? Also, how far are you in your service month? Maybe try not using much, if any, data for a day or two and see if your speeds increase.

Wow dude my wife would kill me. Did all your apps redownload after you flashed? Every time I flash a new ROM, my phone redownloads all my apps for me. So every time I go right to the play store and stop all downloads. Or kill your data. The only app I redownload is titanium backup. If I was smarter I would probably just save it to my SD card. Hope this helped.
Apparently, redownload isn't a word. Thanks, autocorrect.

Take a deep breath...now relax. Hunt around and you'll see that it was due to some stuff that got merged a while ago. Long story short, it's an error that does not reflect actual data usage. It erroneously totals numbers crazy high.
I don't think he would have 33 GB of apps! Plus that much data in just 3 hours? Something is skewed!

Actually he could, the magic of 4G. It could be incorrect data measuring, but OP, are you on AT&T? If so, dial *3282# to see the amount of data used that month. Accidental thanks for you diablo

How much free space did you have?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
3G average speeds are about 3 Mb/s, so lets do some math! 33.5 GB=about 268Gbs. 268 times 1000=268000. 268000 divided by 3, giving you the amount of seconds it would hypothetically take. You get 89333.3. You divide that by 60 for one whole minute and should get 1488.88, which you divide by 60, to find out how many hours it would take to download at that speed. Which is 24.814 hours. There you have it, not very plausible.

Right. My mistake. I just tried a converter, and to download 11 GB an hour, you need atleast 26Mbps sustained, and on AT&T 4G LTE, average of 36 Mbps is quite the norm for me. So it is actually possible. Thanks Rani.

Try the other APN.
Two are listed from bell.
When in Vancouver or Kingston/ Toronto I can go on XDA over the network...
But when I am in Belleville Ontario I can't connect to XDA for example.
pda.bell.ca has given me issues at times and I have better luck with inet.bell.ca
Next time I am in a XDA dead zone I'll switch around my apns and see if that helps.
But I am sure inet.bell.ca I'd the better one.
