(Q)Slow data w/4 bars

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.

Free tether to ps3

Wondering if we can tether ps3 for free using the sprint evo 4g? Thanks guys.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Yes you can tether to your ps3 for free as long as your rooted. But I wouldn't recommend unless you have full bars on 4g or the lag will be unbearable. Also don't do it to much cause it uses A LOT of data and might look suspicious

You probably can, if you have gingerbread and/or a phone capable of wireless tethering. Just try it out

they can tell your tethering if your barely using a any data then jump to about 10GB randomly. They can terminate your contract without warning(not that bad lol)

I tether my ps3 for black ops,mw3 and bf3 with only 2-3 bars and its fine. I would say as long as you're pulling down at least 1mb a sec you should be fine. You can play an hour or 2 and only use like 50mb give or take.

The problem with tethering a phone to a game system is the lag. Ping times on 3g and even 4g can average 200ms, even go up to 1000ms, which would make any game (especially fps games) unplayable. And since it's a wireless signal, the speed and ping times will vary every single second, unlike a cable/dsl modem, which means you could play fine for a minute and then get a weak signal and your connection to the game will probably drop

they do stand by their unlimited data, but going form a cpl gb a month to 10 or more would raise concerns... and yes it is unlimited, but remember wifi hotspot is an add on feature. so actually you are stealing service.

It doesnt matter what it costs them... they and all other providers charge for this feature. So do you think its not stealing to put a splitter on a neighbors cable line and run it to your house? try that and see what happens. Im just saying if you do it and you data goes up by a crazy amount dont be surprised if something happens.

Ok really? Ok sprint, I pay you for unlimited data but hey I can't use my unlimited data because that's stealing. That's like saying hey, I pay for cable but I can't watch all my channels, or can only watch for a certain amount of time.

how can you play when sprints PING is like 200-350 ms?? its just horrible lag.

On 4G my ping in 60-90 with 8-14 mbit down and 1.5 up... If I was on my phone I would upload a few screen shots... I would get rid of it if it's just you using it... I have family at home so they use uverse... Fyi the most I've downloaded on 4g in a month is 240 gigs... Lots of 1080p bluray mkv's
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2

to me if you tether a phone that often you will eventually see some problems from the hardware or the battery, even. do you not get interference when you receive a text or call? i know they run on a different spectrum but in my experience i've had a lot of interference when receiving a call.
again though, my main concern would be hardware damage.

That, or having your service terminated by sprint too. Sprints 4g isn't consistent enough to play any real time games with other people. You may think your fine... but people will curse you as you lag kill.

Is there a 4G tower in your back yard? That's ridiculously good!

Last cycle I used my phone yo download and stream about 80 gigs of data unteathered and sprint called me and said I was in violation of the ToS so im getting wifi to use instead. But its just a tad annoying for a company to sell unlimited data and then limit the ammount you can use and still not be able to tell you how much is to much.

This gets "discussed" about every month, usually turns nasty and trollish. And I might even agree with you, to a point.
What it comes down to is the ToS does NOT allow for unlimited data via tethering.
And yes, if they GAF, they could very easily tell what device is consuming that data.

word, good lookin out, been on tmo website the past few days bout to pull the trigger but the 2 year reup kept me from it, the positive input makes me think i can possibly kill the home wifi thru clear aka sprint and their lil 6mb up more like 2 at best 4g wifi hotspot unit. the only thing ill give the clear hotspot cred on, ive used that thing to some insane #s on classes up at the local juco and had other kids on to max out all 8 hookups and never been throttled...not that theres much wiggle room for them to throttle, and im talkin some sick monthly usage GBs lol not that i care about the students but ive been known to cloud transfer my entire harddrive from one of my laptops in KC to my vegas locale, and lets just say the ol tmo 10gb/mo plan has been throttled on me b4 with oh 3 and a half weeks b4 my billing cycle was up lol thanks for the heads up

I read a huge thread explaining all the fine print about tethering. But even worse, Verizon and att MUST allow free tethering as said by the FCC. I'm honestly thinking about researching everything getting all the details sorted out and bringing it forth to the FCC. Cause apparently the way they tell if you're tethering is by packet sniffing. And from what I understand, that's illegal period. Even if it's included in the TOS. That's my private data they are sniffing.

Question for you all: truly unlimited throttle

So about mud day yesterday, I was watching YouTube, all of a sudden everything started buffering no matter what video I watched. Downloaded a couple files and speeds were only 30kB/s. Didn't think anything of it. Thought it was the host. Didn't do much else but use tapatalk and noticed things were a but slow. Did a speed test and it shot up to like 300kB/s then hovered around 30-50kB/s felt that awfully strange.. as that's what would happen on my old throttle plan.
So I went to bed not thinking of it.
Got up this morning and speeds were the same. Stayed the same for the entire day til I got fed up and called T-Mobile. They "said" I wasn't being throttled. And after I *****ed they "reset" my phone on their network and things were back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced like symptoms? I'd hate to think they went this low to throttle us..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

Are you sure you have the truly unlimited 4G plan... Or the unlimited data with let's say 2gb, 5gb or 10gb of 4G data.
If you have the truly unlimited data then you shouldn't be throttled. But if you have one of the other three plans where they cap the 4G data then they throttle you after that certain point.
Or maybe t mobile was having issues with your tower and had to reset the connection?

17 gigs? I really don't see how most people can go over 5 without tethering. I use my phone constantly and I've never gone over 2. Even with what I use on wifi, which might be another 2gb, is still not even 5gb's. So, I can only ASSUME you have been tethering, and they figured it out. That would explain the throttle.

You get 100 uses of tethering anyhow. Then they block you. But as psykhotic said get Netflix and watch HD movies and then tell me how much data you use. Not to mention you can download torrents via your phone. And I never use WiFi except for when transferring files to my phone.
But irregardless, it's unlimited, there shouldn't be a throttle period.

I just streamed music to and from work and I used up 5gb in 2 weeks... now if you don't have a full time job and don't commute in traffic m-f then you won't understand

No not 100 uses of tethering.
You can use 100 MB before the block you if you already used the work around on the software they have on the phone.
The program by default on the phone though will actually block you right away.
Unless you use a custom APN then you get blocked after 100 MB.
If you change your User Agent on your browser the the User agent of the phone and you won't get blocked.

17 gigs? I really don't see how most people can go over 5 without tethering. I use my phone constantly and I've never gone over 2. Even with what I use on wifi, which might be another 2gb, is still not even 5gb's. So, I can only ASSUME you have been tethering, and they figured it out. That would explain the throttle.

Just syncing my phone after a factory reset uses over 5.

Soooo.... why not factory reset while on wifi? I don't understand why people treat the network as a substitute for a home network?
And streaming music doesn't use that much data, you'd have to watch 8 or 10 movies on Netflix to hit a gig. Don't tell me you watch 10 movies a week on your phone. I feel sorry for your eyes.
It is the abuse of the system that will do nothing but raise data rates for all of us. Thanks alot people, enjoy your rerun's of Charles in Charge.

Netflix even on the phone does use more then that. A 2 hour movie would be about 600 mb for that one move.

I use around 25gigs lol
