Sprint just upgraded my signal at my house, last week I was getting max 70 kbps, now I'm getting 1,800 kbps. You sure the signal at your house isn't just weak? Try your friend's evo with your phone in a speedtest (download speedtest on market) and see if they're the same speed.

well i just did it and i have 1528kbs dl and 52kb Upload but with myfriends evo he get 1965kbs dl and 253kbs upload.... and this is with the keypad code (evo)
U guys are getting those speeds on 3G?? Man.. I rarely break 100kb/s down
Btw, look for a thread titled something like, "make 4g faster".. I'm pretty sure it's in development. There's a process where u can modify 3g settings as well, but may just have to do with the transition FROM 4g to 3g..
EDIT:
It's in General and called "want better 4g signal?"
In the process of switching from the Hero on Sprint to the G2 on TMobile. Grabbed a G2 last week during the free deal.
I'm in what the tmobile coverage map calls the "faster" area, but not hspa+. Running the speedtest app, I'm lucky to get over 500kbps download and 700kbps up.
Phone shows "H" on the status bar and full bars. I've tried several area's around town with similar results.
Is this just normal TMobile data speeds? Just seems very slow compared to my Hero.
I'm in the "fastest" area and my 3G DL speed with G2 today was 57kbps. At first I thought there was something wrong or something I'm not doing right but at least for the last 24 hours it has been this way. Even AT&T's EDGE connection can mark the same speed.
I don't know about the other areas but at least in my area TMO's so-called "4G" is a joke.
Make sure you guys dont have the "use only 2g networks" checked off under the Menu/Settings/Wireless&Networks/MobileNetworks options.
No, that is not the case. Thanks though!
Try tellin tmobile check ur apn and do a factory reset

Only 850 kbps DL?
Ok, I'm a newbie and it's possible I'm missing something obvious. But I see that most everyone on here, 3G or HSPA+, is getting 5Mbps or better on their Speedtest.net tests.
I can't even get 1Mbps (8 tests over a half hour: Lowest DL = 701 kbps, highest DL = 916.) Uploads are 550 to 650.
I've also noted - and maybe this is relevent - that everyone's speedtest looks different than mine. I'm using the Speedtest.net Android Application DL'd from market. Mine is a round stopwatch looking dial, all the screenshots I see posted on here are square boxes. This is curious to me, but doubtfully the problem.
My phone is a U.S. G2, rooted and flashed CyanogenMod 6.1.1 and overclocked to 1305 MHz. No other mods - the thing was stock and being turned on for the first time Wednesday (and still would be if it weren't for this forum! Thanks!)
What could be the trouble?
Thanks in advance

From my experience, if its showing the "3G" icon, you have no data connection. I mean, you won't get any throughput over 3G. Only hspa+, hsdpa, or edge.

Yes they do
EDIT: >.< /facepalm I'm a jackass. I completely spaced that I was running CM. Its just been habit since I've been running it so long. Sorry for the douchebaggery on my behalf.
And as for OP:
Go to a bigger city. I live in Colorado Springs, CO and my 4G is kinda crap. Especially in my apartment. But when I go to a larger city like Denver, I notice speeds almost double what I get at home. So it could all just be your location.

No, they don't. The G2 ROM is altered by T-mobile to show an 'H' symbol anytime you're on something higher than EDGE - that means UMTS, HSPA, HSDPA, HSPA+, etc all show an 'H' (even though only HSPA+ is really considered 4G). Cyanogen ROMs and the Sense ROMs actually show a 3G when you're on 3G and an 'H' when you're on HSPA+.
I've actually seen the 3g symbol a couple of times on my G2. So yeah it does. Might only be on a specific rom though. I have only seen it while running a cm7 nightly build.

Correct - as I said, Cyanogen and Sense ROMs show the 3G. The stock G2 ROM does not - T-Mobile altered it so that it jumps straight from E to H.
I just saw it again. I would like it to pop up when I am in a 3g area and when I'm not getting h+ but it seems to only hang around for a little bit.

I have used CM 6.1 and currently using GV 1.5 and both show 3G and H symbols.
Since i am not able to post I guess i can create a new post to ask if anyone can help me with mytouch 3g 32B, it is a little confusing compared to my HD2 guide, is the gold card the next step, do i need to flash any radio to it, how about mdglr?
Is it the myTouch 3G Slide or Magic?
You can post in the mytouch General or Q&A forum...you'll get a better response in there
Im wondering if anyone has discovered hot to link metropcs flashed Evo to 4G speeds or 3G anything faster than 1x??
The Evo uses Clearwire's WiMax network for 4G service, so I doubt you'll be able to get 4G.
What about 3G?

we'll thats the bad thing about metro PCS
well 3g speeds are governed by your network and 4g speeds wimax.. uses as stated before clear wire service from sprint so basically if metro does not have a 3g network you can't get 3g on your phone and metro only has a 4g LTE network without wimax support your also down in that category i know this because i flashed my old eve to metro for a month and got sick of the damn slow speed so i switched back to sprint thank god i kept my contract with sprint while testing out metro.. but you do get what you pay for ...
Thanks
Htc Evo flashed to metro thanks xda!!

Metro has 3g in select areas and is growing... You have posted on that thread which now shows the coverage map, albeit limited coverage....lol
Where is this map posted?

Are they both on T-Mobile? Does your nexus S ever say 4G? It might just be calling it 3G. T-Mobile's 4G is just upgraded 3G basically, so there would never be both in an area..

Thanx for replay, yes both of them is from tmobile and my nexus s is only 3g not 4g. alaways in my house i have 3g for the past i year and now with galaxy note i only have 4g sometimes for a couple of minutes and return to edge. tahts what i want to know if exist any feature to make my galaxy note 2 run 3g too when 4g will not available. '
actualy in the phone i dont see features to select 4g or 2g (edge).. strange right?
I called t-mobile when I first got my HTC sensation tmo pretty much told me the same thing if you have a 4g phone you will never see it display 3g. So pretty much even if it says 4g you might really only be 3g
