Data needs to shape up,

I've had my g2 for about 4 months now and I'm quite happy with it. Rooted with perm s-off, running about 4 different roms, blahblahblah. I have the full data plan for my phone, and I've used it passed the data cap through all my billing cycles so far.
However, I live in hawaii. The data here is unbearably slow. Using speedtest, I see people with scores of 4mb down and 1mb up.
I average ALMOST 0.3mb down 0.9mb up. that's with 3g on, if you couldn't guess.
I've already tried flashing different radios for my phone, but it only minamally increases my data speed for a huge increase in battery consumption.
Am I stuck here, to wander a 2g world with my almost-but-not-really-4g phone? Help me out if you'd care to lend a hand, I'm kind of sick of seeing the buffer icon permanently on youtube.
Toodles.

The phone is 4g. That doesn't mean your area has it though. Have you bothered to call you service provider to make sure you are connected to the proper tower? I had data speeds like yours but found my phone was trying to connect to a tower in a completely different city.

There's kind of no tower in, around, or relatively close to hawaii. The closest tower is in L.A I believe, which is the one I'm connected to. So no matter where I go on the island, the signal stays around there.

You're not getting 2G speeds. 2G speeds is edge which is at BEST and THEORETICALLY a little under 250 kbps. You're doing decent for 3G. If it was a 4G connection you'd see "H" instead of "3G".

That doesn't seem possible. there has to be some sort of cell towers on one of the islands there. Carriers use each others towers at times to. I know the internet out there can get screwy at times so I understand your frustrations...write your local congress person lol

You're right, the OP can't possibly be correct about there being no cell towers in Hawaii. The max range of a GSM tower is about 22 miles in the best of conditions, and almost always much less. Towers have to be placed as close as 1/2 mile apart in some terrain or urban conditions. 1 to 2 miles apart is average in many conditions.

I actually do have the H. I wouldn't be bugging out so much if I was running speedtest with only 3g xD

Is your phone rooted? If not, it's gonna show H no matter if you are on 3G of HSPA+.

Even if you're rooted, that symbol will not show unless you've got a theme or rom that is set to show HSPA+ in the status bar.
Download mobile signal widget, it will tell you whether or not you are actually on HSPA+.

I'm running the Ultimate Droid, CM7, LiquidMetal, MT4G, and MIUI roms on my phone. All of them shows hspa in the status bar. Except for miui, but miui is weird. Haha. The widget said I'm connected to hspa+.

[Q] HSDPA, but no HSDPA+

I have a Desire HD running CM7.2 and Baseband 12.39.60.19U_26.06.04.06_M
I have a 4G 5gb data subscription with AT&T here in New York State, and I am in a city upstate with HSPA+ coverage as witnessed by other phones in my office, but my phone will only connect to HSPA.
Is this possibly in relation to outdated radio software?

The Desire HD doesn't have 4G/HSPA+. There's a version of the DHD for the US called 'Inspire 4G'. That's has HSPA+. I'm guessing you're being charged quite a bit for 4G, so better cancel your 4G data subscription and get a cheaper 3G data plan. 3G is the max the DHD can do because it doesn't have the radio hardware to access 4G.

Ah, I must have misunderstood.. Thank you.

Tmobile Lg Nitro 3g/HSDPA Possible?

So i was walking along the road and then when i looked at my phone i saw a H above my signal bar and i screenshotted it. It switched between H and E, then 3g also appeared, but i couldnt get a shot of it because it disappeared quickly.
so now im wondering is 3g/hsdpa possible on a lg nitro using a tmobile sim because when i look around the forums people said only edge is available.

It's possible that you were roaming onto the AT&T network due to getting no T-Mobile signal for a brief period of time. The phone won't be able to get 3G on T-Mobile's network though.

It works!

That has to be why. The Nitro definitely doesnt support AWS bands for 3G/4G.

Just wanted to issue in case anyone wanted to save some money. I live in Kansas city and just started Wal-Mart family mobile service and I am getting 3g and hspa signal on my unlocked att p930. That being said, it does look like the data speed itself is throttled to 1mb/s up and down. I'm wondering if it's possible to change that by messing with the apn...

You definitley were in an area with 1900 band being utilized. It's been rolling out around Annapolis MD and Alexandria VA areas. Love it!
10mbps down.,

here is the map
http://www.airportal.de/

Yes it appears that it's deployed throughout Kansas city and even about an 80 mile plus radius of the city. My device picks it up but family mobile have the speeds throttled down to .9mbps up/down no matter what. Very frustrating seeing the H symbol and not being able to break 1mbps anyone have any ideas?

Leave the proxy blank. For some reason the proxy.mvmo.tracphone.com limits data to 1MB.

OK I thought it was worth a shot. It was a problem with straight talk and thought it might also work thinking it might be a Nitro issue.

I go about as far as Castro Valley and I get decent speeds out there. In my hometown (Stockton) I get about 20mbs. You can always contact t mobile and see if there is something wrong with your tower. A few people in different areas have had that problem.

Nice Droid DNA
I'm in Berkeley and I usually get 20-25 mbps down and 10 up, although I did see one 29mbps down once... we've got a tower nearby, that's why.
Also, i tested on the 1900 mhz band and I got around 13-15mbps down and 6-7 up

I get 10~ mbps here in SF. However, around my house in South San Francisco near the lower parts of hickey, I get absolutely horrible 4g service (.1-.5mpbs down). It seems to be a dead zone, but other than that, reception seems to be great.

I work in south sf Millbrae ca on the weekends I do shuttle driving to the air port I get good then it goes down on speed

very interesting, how can you get 10 mbits upload since the maximum on t mobile network is 5 mbits -just hsupa , i beleive they will not gonna upgrade to dc-hsupa witch must be around 10mbits on the upload.
Are you sure you are not on wifi since the upload speeds you saying on 1900 mhz are also incorrect.
The max i have seen is 3.99MBits and i drive a lot in the bay..

I think you're thinking about at&t, they wont have dc-hspa since they have lte. Tmobile is the only carrier to have dc-hspa (42 mbps) which it has branded 4G. I've personally gotten 28 mbps down and 13 up in berkeley.

the specification is clear hspa + 42 is only about the download and u cant get more than 5 mgbits upload becouse dual carrier dc -hspa+ is implemented only on the download side 21x2=42 .this could be only possible if u are using a picocell and then the mobile traffic goes tru your wifi

[Q] 3G not working on my DHD/inspire 4G

hi, I have installed JT R30 by RB on my DHD but 3G is not working. checked the APN setting, but no luck. do I need to install any Radio for 3G to work? right now its 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M. plz help. it did not work with ICS by blackout. :crying:

Whether ur phone is Desire HD or inspire 4g and are u from india. If inspire 4g, then 3g won't work in India as the inspire uses different network bandwidth than present in India.

hey OP, welcome to the forums.
I would change your username as it is your googlemail account and can be used for malicious purposes.
Secondly I don;'t believe that the IG4 works in India
Third, have you tried a different ROM or a full wipe?

Inspire 4G works like a charm in India including 3G. I have used it. Please mention your carrier. Many 3G carriers are providing connectivity problems in India right now.

Airtel does not have its own 3G footprint in Gujarat, it connects to !dea cellular 3G when a subscriber attempts a connection. Try a different 3G SIM of Gujarat like !dea or Tata Docomo.

There is difference in Network
HTC Inspire 4G
HSPA+ 850/1900MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HTC Desire HD
Europe:
•HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
•GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Asia Pacific:
•HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
•GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
So if you have Inspire 4g then you will not get 3g network in India.
