Q: so how is HSPA+ Lucky G2 people???

loading youtube HQ, web pages, flash, and of coarse Speedtest?????? I am fortunate enough to live in an HSPA+ area but not fortunate enough to have the money ready for preordering. I will get it October 3rd though on Sunday at Radioshack

My phone will come in tomorrow, but I did have the chance to play with one at a Tmo store today. I live in Miami, so I too have HSPA+. Gotta tell you this thing is fast! YOUTUBE HQ vids played right away with no issues at all. Web pages flowed very smooth. Flash works perfect. Only thing I was not able to do was run any speed test, but what I've been seeing all over the net it's putting up some great scores.

I'm guessing that the G2 only has one radio unlike sprint 4G phones so Cyanogen should be able to have the fast network working on his roms

okay post back with your results. use the app so everyone can see the H so they know you are on HSPA

Anyone happen to know if Sacramento is covered? Checked T-Mobile's data coverage map, but it says nothing about 4G or HSPA+.

Not sure about Sac but I've had it in San Mateo, Hayward & Vallejo. 3.1mbit down, .9mbit up MAX on G1.

This is my G1 on the "UMTS" network.
Okay, so since I'm too new, I can't post links to outside sites, so my results were 4.25MB/s download, and 1.59MB/s upload
I got similar speeds with my vibrant, so the g2 better be faster then all the results I've seen here...

Wow. Nobody's interested in G1 speed test results anyway. Honestly.

Nice...finally some real G2 HSPA+ speed results. Looks like we'll probably double our download speeds for the most part. I'm guessing upload will be throttled to about 1.5Mb regardless.
I can't wait to try tethering with PDAnet and see what I get.
Sitting on my front porch waiting for UPS right now...he usually gets here between 10 and 11am.

How do you get the speedtest.net link (the app doesn't give it?)? I'm getting mine today and I want to post it.

Looking to get rid of fascinate and get an incredible. Questions...

My MAIN concern is reception. How is the reception on the incredible? The galaxy s phones have such a weak antenna that I get lousy reception all the time.
And that's about my only question lol. The reception on this phone is so bad that I've come to hate the phone. I've tried every single rom, kernel, fix, etc. and nothing has helped. Worst phone I've ever owned.

If you are going to trash your fascinate, give it to me instead.
My incredible gets good reception most of the time. Even when its at -104 I can typically hold a call.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I'm more worried about data speeds. I have to wait until I get home to download apps over wifi because my reception is so pathetic.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Anyone else?

Where I sit right now in my house with 1 bar of reception and -100dbm I am getting 297 down and 306 up via Speedtest app.

Hmmm....that doesn't seem any better than the fascinate.

Hmm im on my inc right now, have z2 bars, just got 496 down and 382 up

Yeah, and I can see a tower from my back porch. Must not be a VZW tower...
When I have 3-4 bars over at my parents' house I get over 2k down and over 1k up with like a 50 sec ping.

Alright, perfect. That's all I needed to know. I'm right in a verizon 3g area, and even when I get full bars on the fascinate (rarely), I can't get over 1.3mbps. With my previous phone I could get over 2k.
Bye bye fascinate.

Cool! Have fun.

Theres always somebody looking to buy a AMOLED android

THIS ....is it!

This is the device I've dreamed of the last 10 yrs....and I've run with most all the latest and greatest.
I dumped my only big gripe about the browsers mobile-only page viewing, but the fact is this phone surpasses even my extreme contentment with the Galaxy S2 I've been running on ATT and Sprints Wimax MiFi.
Whoda thunk a carrier could take the device with the highest kudo's in the industry and make it better. A Carrier?
Sure, I'm gonna dump the bloatware and get Villians Rom on here asap as well as overclock and undervolt.
But how does this top the SGS2?
*love the bigger screen (ever since I played with the infuse).
*GPS much more accurate
*browser speed is faster...not by much, but consistantly (slightly) faster.
*text reflows via pinch past the first doubletap.
*International version struuggled at times with MMS transmission. No more.
*Without a doubt camera is quicker, all pics are slightly brighter and dilineation is better.
*Overall auto-brightness is dimmed (was too bright before...has marked effect on battery already and its only on the first cycle!
*not that I care (wink) but twice already I've gotten: "wow, what phone is THAT?!"
So major kudo's to Sprint here for putting out the phone of the year! ...so far (yeah, Iphone5...Nexus Prime...I know).
Never been able to say this before....but this is perfect out of the box. Doesn't NEED root...but all root goodies will be purely gravy.
(Oh, cept for the browser gripe....I DID mention that in another post didnt I?...I'll have to check!

I cant disagree with anything you said. I could root and be happy..but that wont happen. I will still have to try every ROM at least once

yep, one hell of a phone! the only problem i have its sprints network being so bad. it's better on rural areas tha in the cities here. columbia and charleston are very crappy while newberry gets 1Mb. this is all in south carolina btw. its the only reason why i also have a verizon phone. data is far more reliable.

I already said this in another post but I think a big reason why the network is slow is because of Virgin/Boost/Walmart's straight talk(sprints network)_. I switched from TMO from Sprint about 8 months ago and it was definitely better in my location... Eugene, Oregon. I think it may just get worse since those $35-50 unlimited plans are pretty hard to pass up especially when the android phones their getting are slowly getting better every season. We do have the 4g.. but I find it's fine if your in one place.. using while traveling it's inconsistent .. for example I can stream netflix low quality fine on 3g.. but 4g streams it great but if I'm driving it will disconnect occasionally when it switched to 3g when it has to.
..... But yeah other than the overtaxed network this phone is fantastic.

I know this is above and beyond,but my work has me out and about all day, and I need the internet and need a good signal.
I got the MiFI...about 4 months ago ($35mo) and in addition to connecting multiple devices it greatly amplifies the 4G (and 3G actually) whenever the signal gets weak.
I struggled with a 4G signal deep in a building, I switched to the wireless MiFi and I had strong 4G immediately.
I know for most its not a consideration but works well if needed.

People are always talking crap about "sprints network" even though it pushed the industry into 4G technology. I was pushing over 4 MB/s download speeds while my apple fanboy friends where still trying to impress me with their 1200 kb/s 3g speeds on their locked down iphones with battery's going bad and patented special apple screws lol. Sprint pushed this industry into higher speed data traffic, sprint put HTC and Android on the map in partnership for the HTC Evo 4g. Sprint is always getting the best phones to it's customers the fastest it can before other carriers. Sprint has made smartphone history and have excellent service and I commend them for it as a proud android user. ATT or Cingular are monopolistic thugs, Verizon is no better, both are rip offs. Sprint = Freedom. Unlimited baby, that's how we roll. See you when you're at the beach with a rooted android device on the sprint network and wireless tether without a worry in the world how much data you're eating up. Then you'll know what true wireless service means.

With that said, I have the epic 4g touch and it's a monster. The only phone Galaxy S2 in the world that will have the original xyenos processor with a 4.52 inch screen, the first released in the USA and the only one with notification lighting. All compliments of Sprint. Job well done, the phone is unmatched and won't be for a long time. Sprint sets the bar once again.

3G crap connection, but this is odd.....

Not only do I get the Loss of Signal and not know about it, but the 3G is horrible when compared to other Sprint devices in my area. I could be standing next to a person with an EVO 3D and they will have way faster downloads....but that is not why I am posting here today. So, I noticed that if I turn on the display and try to get online it takes forever!!! To the point where I have been thinking "why did I switch to Sprint"...BUT once I hit one site and go to another and another the data speed appears to be picking up and pages are loading quick like they should. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this with this phone?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

you mean like this?

Evo 3D on the left, MY phone....ET4GT on the right.

I have the same data problems with my phone. Sprint 3G in the houston metro area is horrible.

..
no your not crazy,the data speeds are truly terrible and cell reception is by far the worst on sprint.i dont get it and no fix or update for this in site,with all that this is still a great phone wish an update that can correct these issues comes out any time soon.then this will be the best phone ever........with a little more dev support 2 would be nice from roms.

I know for a fact that my slow connection is not the phone. At 5am I have no issues pulling down 1+Mbps. Through out the day it gets slower and by evening it can get to teens Kbps. My Evo 4G, Mogul running WM6, hacked Droid incredible and even a Virgin Optimus V all have about the same speeds at the same time of day. In my area it's just overloaded towers.
Sprint sat on their a$$ for a few years and now they are paying the price.

Just like that. That video makes me sick. So, I emailed [email protected] today and a Sprint rep actually called me. The rep said they have no idea what it is, sure you don't, but that they would investigate what could be causing the problems.
After seeing this video I emailed the rep the link, lets see what they come back with.
I want to love Sprint but they are making it hard.
