After a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF WORK to get this thing flashed over, I finally got the AN-AAA to say pass and the 3G symbol is always on. However its painfully slow.
I managed to download speedtest and this is what I got:
994ms
41kbps down
72 kbps up
any ideas?
EDIT:
highest I got was 129ms/ 1.20 mpbs / .10 with RevA
any way to speed this up?

Have you tried calling VM and telling them to reset you data connection?
And Congrats on getting the Epic4G Touch on VM, I recently got mine on VM too.
you think that would do it?
I think I should wait a while if I do that though. I don't want them to get suspicious.
Somehow error 16 got triggered and I had to call that special number, only took 10 minutes though.
the more tests I do, the more my average is like 150ms / .50 / .50 yuck...
Sounds l like you have your AAA and HA correct but ppp is not authenticating.. if you can't do an ota update profile then something is wrong. Try Googling for my blog, see if it helps you out any.

I have gotten error 16, that just happens when the System fails to authenticate you phone, but they will simply reset it. What programs have you tried using to get the info from the donor phone onto the Epic 4G Touch?
Also by simply dialing ##33284# and going to the EVDO menu under the AA-AAA it should say PASS to get full 3G. If it says FAIL then your only going to get 1x, even though the icon may say 3G.
When I flashed mine a used QPST and DFS Tools (Mostly for the AA/AAA keys).
used DFS/QPST/QXDM to pull from op v
AN-AAA is pass, and my speeds have been improving as time goes on. 1.75 down average / .50 up
I can't remember the last time I did a speed test on my op v so I don't have a baseline number.
Brooks said something about PPP as well. How can I check to get it authenticated?
If your getting 1.75 mbps down then you should be fine. I would just monitor it for a while, cause sometimes on sprint based Rom it likes to try to go back to default settings. You might want to try out CM9 rom its the only one currently that the MMS fix works with.

damn, I wish i could get that sort of speed, on my premium data plan
I figured out how PPP authentication, I don't have my meid on one of the um/an tabs. However I'm not changing jack, it took me a full day and a ton of help to figure out how to get 3G to stick.
yeah I'll flash the rom to cm9 and see what I get, should be interesting. I'll report back with my speed.

Yeah if you use more than 2.5GB you get throttled, which isn't to bad.
vipersilver, you might want to also check out the WimaxHidden menu in CM9, that will help you get 4G. I don't think the forum rules allow me to say it here.

With all the excitement going on with the Wimax being alpha tested in the CM ROM it got me testing my data speeds the last few weeks.
From my understanding 3G speeds should be decent and range between 1 - 3 mbps down, and using Sprints 3G network I am not coming close to that.
I am using the SpeedTest.net app for my results, and I have read from some posts that the app might not be that accurate.
Here are the results that I have been seeing (displayed as Mbps) using the closest server to me (Random Lake, WI - even though other servers are giving me the same low scores):
1/6/11 - .18 down and .37 up
1/6/11 - .16 down and .30 up
1/2/11 - .30 down and .77 up
12/27/10 - .45 down and .27 up
12/27/10 - .34 down and .27 up
12/27/10 - .12 down and .20 up
12/24/10 - .45 down and .70 up
12/24/10 - .15 down and .62 up
As you can see, not close to the 1 - 3 range that I would expect. I am checking that the icon is showing 3G and 1X when doing the test as well. Here is some information to help deduct and (hopefully) solve my issue.
My EVO is from release day, not the 004 hardware
I'm running CM 6.1.1
CM stock kernal that comes with it - 2.6.35.9 [email protected] #1
Theme is Project_Bliss HD (modded by me to include some different emoticons and Batman themed notification shade)
I have flashed all of the latest
*Radio - 2.15.00.11.19
*Wimax - 27167_R01 (even though where I live has no 4G)
*PRI - 1.90_003
*NV - 1.90_003
I have flash a Sense ROM and update Profile and PRL
I live in Appleton, WI area if that matters at all.
So am I just looking at my results wrong? If I'm not, what are some solutions that I can look at to improve my 3G data speed? Any other test I should run or try?

Thanks for letting Cyanogen know that. So it sounds like I'm not alone in this?
Are you having any issues?
Sent from my EVO (CM6.1.1) using XDA App
A lot of those results look like they could be from when you were connected at 1x speeds. Sometimes it seems like the status bar icon doesn't update quickly for the change in network type. Also, how strong of signal do you have. If you're at the edge of data coverage, the rate might be low because a lot of packets are getting lost in transmission. Have you seen what your speeds look like in other locations? In my home town I regularly get over 2mb, but when I was traveling a few weeks ago in some places I could barely pull 300k.
I have check all over town since my apartment is further away and gets lower strenght. Im getting the same results close or far away from a tower.
Sent from my EVO (CM6.1.1) using XDA App
i started noticing this with my evo aswell, actually about yesterday, my stats are about the same in the OP, i live less then a mile from the 4g tower, i've even been about 200 yards away and gotten crappy 4g signal, anywhere from only 3-4 dl, and barely 1 ul.
Hopefully this helps. I was also experiencing 1x speeds although the phone indicated 3G. I upgraded to an EVO after modding my Hero for the past year. Thus I was pretty comfortable with rooting, installing roms, etc. within 24 hours of getting my EVO I decided to root it and try out some of the roms available.
Almost immediately after rooting using unrEVOked I noticed signiffigantly slower data speeds. (I'm not pointing any fingers, only documenting what led up to this) I first tried out the latest CM6 rom. Upon booting it indicated 1x speeds though posts that I read stated that you are actually recieving data at 3G speeds. I think that CM6 may actually be reporting the data connection accurately while the sense rom is not. Using speedtest.net's app (I know it dosen't report speeds accurately) I was consistently recieving between 80-160 kbs download and 60-100 kbs upload. I then downloaded the same app to my wifes unrooted EVO and ran a side by side comparison. Using the same server and within seconds of testing each her EVO was downloading at 800-1600 kbs download and 600-1000 kbs upload while mine was still recieving at the afore mentioned speeds. I tried updating PRL, profile, running the stock rom to no avail. I then tried RUU and unrooting without any change.
I was convinced that either Sprint was throttling my connection or the transmitter in the phone was defective or damaged. I was ready to return the phone to Radio Shack where I purchased it last week but I decided to call Sprint and inquire about the throttling issue first. Sprint assured me I was not being throttled and they also thought I may have a defective phone but they asked if I would perform a ##DATA# before returning it. Amazingly enough this worked and my data speeds have returned to 3G speeds of around 1000-1400 kbs download.
I'll detail the procedure but I make no guarantees this will work for anyone else. Also you'll need your MSL, there are guides that detail how to obtain this or you can all Sprint and ask nicely. Also I did this while stock and unrooted and I haven't tried to reobtain root again yet so if this works for you while rooted let me know. Finally I believe you'll have to perform this using the stock dialer as I don't believe that the CM dialer will work for this.
Procedure is as follows:
Open dialer and type ##3282#. (##DATA#)
You should now be taken to the epst prompt. Choose "Edit Mode"
You will now be asked for your password. This is your MSL
Next you want to choose "Data Profile"
While in Data Profile hit the "Menu" button at the bottom of the phone.
Next choose "Restore" and allow the phone to reprovision.
Let me know if this works if you try it while rooted as I'd like to reroot again but I'm a little gun shy now that it's fixed again.
I'll give that I try and see what happens. I have to flash a stock ROM first and hope that any changes follow me along back to CM ROM. I am also going to try the Wimax kernal to see if that helps since that ks reporting to be a possibility.

this sorta helped me a bit, but i just also ended up flashing back to 1.77pri and nv, though i still have the latest wimax and radio and 60674prl on myn's rls5, however i'm still experiencing way below average data speeds as compared to what i used to, i have a release day evo with 0002 hardware, and .76 hboot, even my 4g's are slower then what they used to be.
FWIW, I experienced a drop in speed as well. I used to get 1-2 Mbps easy. Now all I get is around 500. Very strange.

i really hope your right, i mean the other day with cmWimax i nailed a 7.61, now i'm lucky if im even in the 3 range for moar gee's, lol, even with reg sense rom's i'm barely in 3 range as well, i have a tower that is only about 200 yards away that is 4g and it still suxor's.
I haven't had a chance to test the above, I'm about to start to do that.
I did try out Sprints Network Speed Test and got results from it above 1.0 finally. Then I tried using the speed test app and it was giving me location in Europo to test? This morning it is back to normal and both the speed test app and Sprints website both were giving the same results - around .80.
I'm going to flash the Wimax for CM and see if that helps out. If not, then I'm going to flash a Sense ROM and do the #DATA# trick listed above.
Here is the website for Sprints speed test website. You'll need the latest Flash installed from the market for it to work.

i have noticed though with this release of myn's that i do keep dropping 4g and reconnecting, something that i have never did before on other dev's rom's.
Well, both attempts to fix it didn't work. The new Wimax for CM didn't give me faster speed and the flashing to Sense ROM to do the ##DATA# didn't help either.
Anyone else have any ideas?
so i thought i did the right thing...to start from the top...my old evo broke...got a new evo...didnt update the prl...rooted/flashed a new rom and boom...my internet blows...its stuck on 1x...so..i flashed a sense rom...updated the prl...now im missing something because when i go back to the roms i wanna use...its still stuck on 1x...what am i doing wrong?

You're most likely not doing anything wrong. I assume you're using an AOSP rom. Aosp roms show your true signal, if you're on 3g or 1x. Sense roms show 3g all the time, even if you're on 1x. Sense lies to you. Aosp shows the truth. Although there is now a mod that allows you to see true signal on Sense as well now.

A PRL is a "preferred roaming list" and has nothing to do with data speeds unless you're talking about data speeds when you're roaming. Do you mean that you are getting no 3G coverage at all?

Are you sure you are getting 3g at all? Sense doesnt tell you when you are on 1x unless you grab an app for that. Are the 1x culprits all aosp and you are just under the impression you are getting 3g on sense when in all reality you are not? Run a few speedtest.net tests and let us know what your speeds are on both on both. I doubt your speed changed.
hmmm...interesting....well im running MIUI...but its weird...because i used to get good signal...i wonder if maybe this is tying in too all the problems it seems a lot of people are having...im gonna run the speed test right now and see
signal and speed arent necessary related, though i believe aosp does calculate that into theirs. On sense it is (almost?) always separate. Anyhow I have only seen a few phones get "stuck" internally at 1x, no worries that would also be fixable.
You may just be having tower issues, thank sprint for that. Another good question is do you get 3g on a diff tower? drive out of the range of your current tower and see what ya get.
yea im gettin a steady 1x from home all the way to work which is about 15 miles away...
my first test:
Ping: 558ms Dl:125 Ul:148
second test:
ping: 807ms Dl: 126 Ul: 140
3rd:
ping: 786ms dl: 126 ul: 143
im not too knowledgable about this stuff....but i feel like the numbers are good right?
No, those are def 1x speeds. Sprint average is 540k. Being that you have used multiple towers i would assume its the phone. Grab easy settings from triforce, luke and see what the settings are. If you cant get back to 3g you may want to grab the 2g/3g toggle from triforce, luke for a buck and set it to hybrid or evdo only and see if that works. Its the only thing that helped me once.
I tried profile restores, other prls, everything. Have you tried any other prls? I wouldnt suggest a profile restore because you dont have 3g and it needs that to provision.
Have you gone into ##3282# (sense rom), and cleared your profile data (top item, then menu IIRC). This will cause the phone to reboot, and do an OTA activation on the subsequent boot.
Have you messed with your 3g settings - meaning, is the device being forced into cdma mode only??
Which rom did you specifically flash?
And I guess most importantly, before you did anything, did you ensure 3g/4g work with the phone in its stock state?

I had this same issues awhile back and the quoted text is what worked for me.
you can try a profile restore but it may not activate well without 3g. Sprint told me that themselves, so have others...though it did activate for me, i have seen people get stuck though for a bit...
well...from what i understand i guess i have no idea if 3g was working before...i know 4g did work fine...and it still works weather im using the wimax setting on a sense rom or even before i rooted it....so somebody give me a run down of what to try...i read a lot of those suggestions...and to be totally honest...i have no idea what too do...like i said im kinda new to this whole thing
nevermind...i found the thread with the whole step by step process...thanks for your help guys...i got it up and running
My speed tests are returning obnoxious speeds like 700ms with 0.1 down and 0.4 up. (Measuring in Mbps.) It is absolutely ridiculous. My wife's LG Optimus S gets 130ms/5/3.5 running at the exact same time, side by side. I can't figure out what is going on. I've changed the radio, updated the PRI, changed ROMs and kernels. I'm running out of ideas and I really hope it isn't a hardware problem (don't want to be phone-less.) The only odd thing I can find is that my PRL version is 01115. But I don't think that really has anything to do with my 3G speeds but odd none the less. I found a screenshot that someone else has a PRL version over 6xxxx.

If there's any testing that's viable is the speed tests. Benchmarks are the useless ones.
I didn't think I had problems until I tried someone's suggestion on the Mik forums.
On your sense rom;
dial ##3282# > choose edit mode > when prompted enter your MSL number* > choose data profile > hit menu button, then choose restore
This process will reboot your phone, reactivates handset, and updates profile and prl. It'll try to update firmware at the end too but I just hit cancel after that showed up. After I did this, I was getting 3g speeds of over 2mbs when I was previously getting less than 500kbs.
*download the MSL reader app if you don't know your MSL number
I tried the fix and no change. I have already cleared out my profile more than once with no change. I'm consistently getting 0.1/0.4 now.
Edit : Just flashed to an entirely different set of radios, PRLs, and so on. Now I'm consistently 1000ms/0.3/0.3.
Spent an hour or two on the phone with Sprint last night. Most likely going all the way back to stock everything, doing one last test, and then dropping it off at their store. Nothing we tried did anything at all. Nothing I have tried has done anything at all. Out of ideas.
If someone has any last advice, let me know. I'd sure be happy if I could get this damnable thing working without going through the unroot process and such.
Have you tried the new radio? Its version 2.15.00.04.08. A lot of people have gotten faster 3g including myself.

Tried it.
So my PRL updated from 60675 to 01115 (I'm running the stock Evo ROM, rooted) and now my data download speeds are about a third of what they used to be. I could get up to 2.1 megs down on 3G, but now its at .9 megs. Does anybody have a flashable zip to downgrade my PRL?

So... Im not an android expert yet bu any means but here is what I noticed. My wife and I, both have, hardware version 0004 and got the 01115 PRL update in Minneapolis. I started having problems...my data slowed WAY down... her performance got a bit better. I couldnt figure it out... Im running EternalProphecy she is running mikfroyo 4.5 both on Net's 4.3.4 CFS SBC HAVS MORE... I tried everything to fix it and almost just said bump it and reflashed and started all over... I ever tried the radio from the Gingerbread leak,, NADA! other than that the only difference I could find between our setups was I had done the EPST fix for faster streaming and 3G...
Anyways, very long story short... I cleared my EPST data in manage apps... did a ##3282# data restore, BLAM! running great... maybe it will work for you too if you had done the EPST HTTP to 0 deal. Hope that helps
Yes, I saw a new PRL and went right to sense rom to get it. Boy was that a mistake! My DL speeds went down, I live in a small town with 5k people. Verizon has a tower close to my house, from what I gather Sprint uses that tower as well so my 3G has always been good, until the other day that is. I ended up going back to my old PRL, but speeds still suck! I dont know WTF is up, I also have a file named "throttle" located DATA>SYSTEM>THROTTLE. If I delete this file my speeds go up to to where they were before, 5 minutes later the file rebuilds itself and speeds drop instantly I have wiped and installed new roms with no fix of this crappy speeds, only to delete the file Anyway, glad my WiFi is good
get old PRL back HERE
Thanks!

Weird! My PRL changed to 60678
Change the permissions of the files in throttle to 000

to do this
1 open root explorer
2 navigate to /data/system/
3 long press throttle
4 click 'zip this folder'
5 click 'go to folder'
now from here you can either hook up usb and put it on your pc or email it like i did..
anybody have any idea what the throttle text means??/

Whats a ##3282# data restore? I was getting 2.4 mb download, updated prl, and dropped to like .9 (also in minneapolis).
I thought it was because of 01115, so I installed 60678, and not any better. Cleared data for epst, but I'm not sure what you mean by ##3282# restore. All the values are exactly how I left them.
Edit: Figured out what you were talking about. Didn't help though. I canceled when it tried to update my prl so I could stick with 60678. Should I have let it go through the whole process?
I have recently flashed my Evo to Boost mobile using my seek as the donor. Now I know seek gets 3g speeds and have figured out the HA/AAA secret and have written it. Now the 3g icon pops up for about 5 minutes every couple of hours and then goes away. It is running either 1x or nothing at all. I had to remove the RC2-GodMode rom and replaced it with gingerbread 2.3.3, sense 2.1 deodexed. Is there anyone out there that can give me an idea why I may not be getting 3g locked in? And if so can you tell me how to fix it? Thanks everyone and happy flashing.
I would be very interested myself. My donor is a Rant. My data connection comes and goes, but mostly sticks. I'm only getting around 130 kbps DL. I've done everything exactly as instructed and think its just the donor phone. The Incognito is supposed to work very well.
The one thing that confuses me is that my profile and prl will not update in the settings > update section. Everytime I try, I get the error 67 message.

Great news! I just redid my entire flash today line by line based on this guide posted in post #1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182260 . I skipped over the sections for repairing the meid (since I've already done this), but completed the rest exactly. I also used the profile info from the instructions(pictures) and just changed over my NAI, HA, AAA passwords.
Rebooted and 3G is working now! no stalling or dropping and my speeds have gone from around 130kbps DL to 500kpbs. It's still not the best speeds but much better. I was also able to update the profile and prl in the settings > update section.
