I just received an Android update for my sprint epic 4g touch S2 and when I checked what version it was it still said I was on v.4.0.4, which I have had for a while now? Was this just to fix some bugs or did mine not update correctly?
What is your build version? If you are running a custom rom or stock rooted i wouldnt update. Now if you are just stock s2 I would do the update.

I am stock.
I think it might have fixed my 4g speed problem b/ci was getting horrendous (less than 1gb) speeds. Now i just got 3.5gb DL.

Yes, but I just checked my speeds again and they are back down to 0.5-0.9 Mbps. I wonder if that could be because of traffic though....

wow i think you need to go back to GB cause those 4g speeds are horrible .. The lowest i get on 4g is 5mbps but average 10-11Mbps.

As you can see I don't have internet at home through Sprint. The Wifi was off. Decided to swich carriers. Already called sprint today and asked them to waive my early cancellation fee. He said he will call me next Tuesday.
You sure you had Wifi off? It shows it as on in the screenshot.
But you can check and see if Network Vision is upgrading soon in your neighborhood.

Yes it was off. I turned it on and went back to the program to take the snapshot. Here is a pick with wifi on.
PS: I'm rocking your ICS theme in my Calk ROM btw. You are the man buddy.
I'm running ek02 ROM, desperado 1.3 ek02 kernel and ek02 modem. I'll flash el29 modem and see if I notice any difference.
I'll flash ek02 again and post the numbers.
Now I'm getting 200's to 450. There must be varying amounts of network traffic tonight. It's only 12:41am, so people are probably still awake and using the data network. You could try a different host like Naples. Sometimes speakeasy speedtest on a browser gives different numbers out of Atlanta. Wanna see a crazy ass screen shot with 4g that I think was a fluke?
Miami is a city being worked on now. You won't see improvements for another 2 to 3 months. The reason for all the decrease on speeds is due to the off loading sprint is doing right now

I get from 128 to 188 kbps all the time. I am surprised I got over 300 yesterday. But your numbers are really bad. I couldn't live with it for one day.

That's because I get 29% off from them through work, but I suspect I'll be ditching them shortly. It just isn't worth waiting for the upgrades to be completed. For comparison purposes. It took me 7 minutes to download a 6 MB app on their 3G. LOL. Thank god for WIFI.

Correction. Waiting months or years to get to the point where Verizon is already at 4g wise, 3g is still a joke, even post upgrade.

I used to have Sprint and their slow data so I switched to the Galaxy Nexus with 4G LTE from Verizon. It puts my Comcast Cable to shame.

It was good, but I'm away on holidays and I don't know how to get my stock ROM back. I'm in Australia.

If you are rooted you may want to try updating the radios. They are in the development section.
I need answers too, my Nexus 3g is incredibly slow. I've swaped between phones on the same account between an Epic and the Nexus, and Nexus is always slower. I mean 60-110 kbps versus about 500-700 kbps between the 2 phones. It has to be something in the hardware thats killing the Nexus' ability. Any ideas?

Yes already updated radio, and already played around with a whole lot of prl's too. I also removed proxy and ports as suggested in other posts. I had access to Boost mobile earlier, and I did a side by side speed test with both phones using same PRL and still the Boost was faster. Boost was around 600 kbps and my Nexus was about 127 kbps
I'm all out of ideas. Currently running on Sprint, Xenon HD rom, Android v. 4.2.2 with GA02 radio. The PRL on both phones is 61009. Unfortunately I dont have any info on the Boost phone, it isnt a high end unit, I think its running some Android 2.3.x but. nevertheless its faster data speeds than the Nexus.

there's your problem.
I've searched the forus but no such luck.
I just flashed FreeGS3 (GSM) Release 3 & since then i no longer get 4g.
My download speeds are around 0.18mbps
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what that is, but why not flash the stock rom to revert whatever you did? Or a Nandroid backup?
..Or maybe your throttled if you hit your data limit? It throttles to edge .. so those speeds would should about right..
I'm getting the same thing I even unrooted to see if that was the problem but 4g still didn't work, I've put this phone right next to my old epic4g and all I get is 3g speeds, I called sprint and they blamed it on their towers being upgraded for September when LTE comes out

I just spent the last 45 minutes on the phone with our lovely service provider. I spoke to initial CSR, her "supervisor" and then another tech. They all said the same thing, they are well aware of the connection and battery issues regarding the phone since the ICS update. There is "nothing else to do until/unless Samsung releases a patch". They offered to send me out another Epic, which I declined by asking if the issues are known why would they send me the same problems. No answer. I say anyone else who has time should call and write in. If we push hard enough we may ever get a patch sooner or different phones. Just a thought.
Going to Boost as soon as my contract is up... Good luck with your fight! I've already contacted them and raised hell about the same issues. Doesn't make a difference. They say there is no way to fix it, blah, blah... Sprint will never survive as a company like this....

Thanks for confirming this for me. I've had some serious trouble with data speeds on FF18/OTA. I've reverted back to EL29 for now.
You do know boost is owned by sprint and uses their service.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If your ROM sucks, why not flash one of the many great custom ones?
You guys do know that the data speed has always been bad right. Right OK maybe you are just getting a taste of some network vision action and should continue being patient. Complaining to sprint is just a waste of your time IMO they already know.
Sent from my Epic Blazer ICS 3G Touch
If the update has any effect on data speeds its because Sprint is pushing it out OTA over their already super slow network. For months everybody complained about not having the ics update now everybody is coming out of the woodwork complaining about it and blaming it for everything. Oh no I stepped in gum today, this never happened on GB ... ICS sucks.
This is xda where you come to customize your phone so download a custom rom already and try different modems. Sprint forums are the place for complaints.

You don't know what you're talking about....
All from one location. I run a speedtest using stock EL29 and get 12+mbps down/2+ mbps up on 4g. Flash the FF18 OTA which was pushed to me from Sprint and then run a speed test. On FF18 I receive .5mbps down and 1.5mbps up.
I've done EVERYTHING I can think of to isolate the problem and it is most definitely an ICS issue. I've flashed multiple modem while using the FF18 ROM, including the EL29 modem but still receive awful speeds. I've tried updating PRL and profile, I've tried changing the Wimax settings to connect to a weaker signal, but nothing changes the speeds that FF18 allows. I flash a stock EL29 rom back and immediately get normal 4g speeds again.
Now, what was that about it not being an ICS problem?

Is your s3 set to cdma only or lte/cdma
I have not tested it on the s3 but I caught a bug on the evo lte where it was connecting to the new enhanced 3g (not actIve yet)
On the evo it would only connect properly if on cdma only.
You may need the app "network" to further mess with it
