Awesome 3g speeds on FD19 ? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So i updated to from FD16 to FD19 this morning and right away i noticed i was getting amazing 3g speeds ! Before i would get about 50-150 kb down and well now i get 500-1000 kb down. Or maybe sprint just improved their 3g here in my city ? Anyone else getting good 3g speed after updating to fd19 ?

let me nip this right now....
it's still there 100% and Sammy thought it was fixed, but realized it wasn't so it is a big ticket item again. We are expecting it to be fixed in the new few releases. Thanks to Calk for the info!!!

I agree. Without any real testing, 3G seems to be much better than before. Definitely an improvement over FD16.

What ROMs are you guys running?

Meh not really that good hate sprints 3G

Yeah i was getting 200-1.5 now i get 800-1.5 o.o it seems better XD

I tried EL13, FB27, EL29 and FD16. FD16 has been the best, pulling 2.25 mbps DL at my house, but I'm going to try FD19 and see if that makes a difference.

Did you guys get over 1 Mbps before you switched to the FD19 modem? I'll have to try it out after I get my replacement phone.

FD16

FD19 (15 mins later, exact same location)

Conclusion: No noticeable improvement

I am getting at least 2x improvement on 3g and good on 4 at rush hour. Speed test is crap IMO so I used speakeasy. Went from .17 to .50s

This just sad... °__°

Doesn't matter. Rom and modem do not affect one another.

So your saying the Radio Interface Layer and the rest of the Operating system which stands in between the software and the hardware has nothing to do speeds? That would be hard to believe. There is plenty between the radio firmware and the software used to do the testing that can hurt speed.
Not that it normally presents any large issues but it would be foolish to believe it cant.

I'm curious to know what speeds are like on roaming also, I could prob do it and not get terminated with Sprint cuz I dont use a lot of data. Although I'm getting about 2 megs down anyway, so not to bad.
I wish I could get those 4G speeds! they don't have it around me, it's in like one city in michigan right now smh.

My 3G speeds just beat my 4G speeds.

Not by much but still...
Wow.

I agree... these are good 3G speeds. I did this a few blocks away from my house. Inside my house 3G ranges between 100kb and 400kb. And 4G does not penetrate the walls at all. I have to stand by the window or go outside to get 1 bar of 4G.

You can change it to that with ROM toolbox. Dont have to flash a whole theme/ROM just for that indicator.

It actually can happen if you are in a 1 bar 4g area and good 3g area. I saw the same thing happen in NYC as I as walking around

Correct. I would love to have 4g out here. You would think with Phoenix being such a large city (population wise) they would put something here.

Memphis, Tn just got lte today. Damn its fast.

Those are some awesome speeds! I live in a weak area, so my speeds are nothing close to those. I'll try it again when I go into a stronger area. Has anyone noticed any hit on the battery?
I'm throttled until the end of the month. Kinda sucks knowing it's there and i can't test it.

After a day of use, I did notice a little hit. I would say I lost about 4hrs of battery use. I used to get about 1 1/2 days on a charge. I had to charge last night at bed time after a days use. Could be because I was so excited about the speeds I had to use them more then usual though.

Anybody in the Memphis area getting text messages late? The past two days I've been getting texts with timestamps that are a few hours late. Just wondering if it's happening to any of you. Hoping that it's due to them getting LTE up and working on the network.

Anybody know how far signal typically reaches?
I'm 40 miles out from 2 different 4G areas, wondering if there's any chance I will ever see those signals here.
Edit: googled it. Reaches like 10 miles tops. Bummer.

You're on the previous modem still, the latest ends in a "C."
Are you noticing any patterns with the connection problem? Is it only happening in certain places or when running certain apps?
I was having a similar issue but I was using the latest modem and it turned out T-Mobile pushed out the new modem before actually prepping the towers to connect to it in my work area.
Have you tried speaking to a tech rep and go over the coverage map with you?

There is no pattern it just randomly looses signal to like 1 bar and if I go inside a building it will 9/10 loose signal. It doesnt matter how big the building is. Is the modem in the dev section?
