Is it me or does 4g seem to be a lil slow today mines keep dropping also it never did that?
Im suffering a very low 4G speed for 4 days. Its close to zero. Only 2G is usable, but slow.

I thought it was just my ROM, but switching from WiFi to 3G/4G takes forever. took about 20 minutes once just to get a decent connection.
maybe it has something to do with the LTE coming and them optimizing towers, to whatever they do.

I thought it was only me but they must be doing something over there with the tmobile towers i hope it is for the new Lte 4g
The slow speed issue only occurs within my neighbor hood, around 2 mile square. When I drove away, it was back to normal. It never happened before! Sometimes, the speed is very inconsistant, fast for awhile, then no connection!

Since I got to work this morning me and all of my Sprint subscribing coworkers are experiencing better signal strength and higher speeds than usual and is especially noticeable in places notorious for crappy signal... The same at my apartment.
Either a new tower went up.. Which is doubtful... Or is this part of the rollout of the system upgrades?
Central CT here... Anyone else noticed anything?

Damn, I am waiting to make the jump from VZW to this phone.... With speeds like the ones that are being reported I don't know if that's even logical.
My 4g is flying. Usually I only get about 6mbps and right now I just hit 14, with 1 bar. 3g is more or less the same

Maybe everyone should post where they are located also?
I'm only talking 3G.... And we have horribly overcast skys and rain which usually murders signals... I've got a good feeling about this... I'm afraid to update my PRL lol

How fast are you talking? Like normal 3G speeds or faster?
Mine aren't better, but something is going on. Signal has been very erratic on both my GSII and my 3D. In the process of working on towers?
I'm lucky if I get 2 mb on 4g in St. louis.

3G speeds still, but, respectable. I ordinarily pull 200kbps to 400kbps with 0 to 1 bar at my desk. I'm getting 600 to 1300kbps with 1 to 3 bars.... Buried deep in a steel building. Outside I'm seeing full bars and hover around 2mbps where I usually get 600kbps ish with 2 or 3 bars. Heavy overcast with moderate rain.

I'd be interested to see how the speeds hold up later on in the day. Mine are always respectable in the morning and then go to sh*t in the afternoon hours.
Well, how are they holding up?

Ditto here, Minnesota
Something is afoot!
I can confirm this and i am in dfw area.
Ppl rooted their phone and blaming on developers for loss of signals past couple days.
Still slow if not slower than usual where I live in Culver City.

note the value of the emoticon...without it, you were about to get BLASTED!
btw, my 3g on speedtest typically registers like 50kbps, but in actuality, I do way better on app dls and webpages. I do trust the 4g readouts, though, which tend to be around 4-5 mbps.
location: fort lauderdale, fl
Yeah, mine went up 4 mbs... Houston Tx.

Just updated OTA to ek02 and am experiencing slower 3g speeds... with and without the tweak. Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?

For me with update, 3g is same, but 4g is almost double.

If they get any slower they'll stop completely (at least for me).
Sprint is so slow anyway that o havent noticed anything yet

I'm experiencing slower speeds and my 4G connectivity got even worse...even did a profile and prl update after the update and it didn't help.

Sprint's 3G is stupid slow. It's completely unusable around here. For example, the Android Market. Most things say they are "starting to download" then they never do.
I did a speed test and my ping was like 900~1100+ with a download speed of 7~13kbps and an upload speed of 50~100kbps or so.
Seriously, 7~13kbps download?
The only reason I put up with this crap is I'm almost NEVER away from wireless. I work in the technologies field with full gig-network access on almost all the campuses I'm at threw out the day and 105mbit at home.

Wow, that is really slow. I don't have it that bad lol. But with that ping and those speeds, it seems like something is uploading constantly. That's the only time I've ever seen speed tests like that for me, while i was uploading songs to Google music. That's interesting.
As for the speed test tho, i feel there is an issue with the actually test and specifically our 3g. The reason i say this is because the speed test will give me a result of 40-50kB/s, but then i will download a torrent at like 150kB/s.... all in the same area. Very weird.

Sprints download speed for me is around .12kbs to .45kbs in good reception areas... in the same areas ATT gets 3.5mbs and Verizon is very stable with good reception and stable internet that is around 1.5 mbs... so ATT is wicked fast 3g but the reception and internet are both hit and miss as far as coverage goes. Where as Verizon may not be the fastest internet, they are well within my personal tolerance and needs... and their coverage surpasses ATT by a long haul in my area... notice i haven't mentioned sprint? That's because my download speeds on average are (like previously stated) between 10kbs and 50kbs at most! 50kbs is the fastest I've ever gotten with the speestest.net app! Don't even get me started on call reception.... I've honestly had more dropped calls in a month and a half then I've had with every other company combined throughout my life. End rant

For some reason lately I've been getting only Edge in my area when normally I get extremely solid H+. I don't know if my phone is acting up (completely stock on 4.1.2) or if AT&T may be upgrading their network in my area, possibly adding LTE. Any ideas why?

Sometimes when I get this, I just airplane mode cycle. Sometimes im stuck on far away towers.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Let us know if it doesnt work. It happens. If youre getting it a lot. Thats not usual. Or if it happens in your house fron 4g down to edge. It could be an issue with your tower. Or location. Maybe the tower is overloaded and they kick you to another?
This has happened to me once on this phone. And it was on either stock rom or blackout. Cant remember
Sent from GN2 using XDA app
Well where I work I get full signal. Averaging 10 Mbps down on H+. But recently I've only been getting Edge. It could very well be what you said about too many users on one tower. I'll try tomorrow and let you know.

A few months ago when I had my Galaxy S3 I got this problem out of nowhere. I never found a solution even tho I tried going back to stock and several other "fixes". Ended up having to send the phone back and getting another one. Idk if the antenna went bad or what but even on Edge it was unresonble slow
Well I couldn't hold myself back the other night and I flashed Jedi X. Haha. Having no data issues now.

I'm forced to use HSPDA due to the LTE network being overloaded here in SoCal.
Funny thing is, with LTE on, I avg about 3down/10up....with HSPDA, I get roughly 6down/1up. Quite frankly, I care more about download than upload anyway so it's actually better for me
if you see I took them 1minute apart see the difference is that right or to slow

LTE is super spotty where I live and really inconsistent. In my state capitol I get LTE and it's around 2mbs. I alternate between 3g/LTE from block to block with 100% signal strength on stock rom. In some hicktown with a population of 1,000 people LTE gets 20-30mb/s. Regarding Sprint, you are lucky to get LTE at all, I'd be happy.
ATT HSDPA+ gets 1-3mb/s everywhere in my state. I'll be changing soon.
It's now almost 4am ET, couldn't sleep so I'm on my phone. I'm downloading stuff and updating some apps and noticed my speeds are not going above 50k! I'm on the unlimited 4g plan and shouldn't be throttled. I restarted my phone and ran a speedtest and it seemed fine ran a second one and it went right back to high pings and speeds in the 100ks!
something up with the network tonight? Will check when I get up later, and if I'm still getting these crappy speeds I will contact tmobile.

You are getting similar speeds to what I was getting when I was capped. Call 611 and ask them.
