Telus Winnipeg HSPA vs HSPA+

I got the GS2X, and ive noticed something weird. Ive noticed in screenshots from various telus users that their screenshots say HSPA+ in the speedtest app, but mine only ever says HSPA? Is this due to using T-Mo roms or is there somethign else going on?

it could simply be reception as well, in my house i get both signals, because it has 2 towers nearby
1 tower gives me HSPA and the other tower gives me HSPA+

Ahh, i live right at the edge of the city. I will have to check next time im in.

Wait, how do you know theres both, is there some app that can tell you signal info?

You can try this to see what towers are nearest to you: http://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/cancellsites.html
Pretty neat map

there's 2 that i use
OpenSignalMaps, it has a very nice widget
and then also Signal Finder
you can get both from Market
one offers more in depth info, the other is more accurate
it'll be nice if some DEV comes along and combine both into 1 App

Ok so im only getting HSPA, no mention of +
Ive got a friend with an iPhone 4S that only sees 3g as well on his..
Could this be due to the T-Mo based ROMs(ive been told this is only an icon difference though)
Or, possibly a SIM issue.
Stock rom shows HSPA as well but also with a 4g icon
Speed tests come in 13mbit/3up...
Not sure whats going on..

I'm on Telus in Montreal, never really seen hspa or hspa+, only the 4g symbol. I typically get around 6.5/2 download/upload speeds, not great, but its quite quick on the net

telus seems to replace the icons to make EVERYTHING seem like 4g...

This its the fastest that I got in Montreal, even faster than my home internet!

I get anywhere from 3-13 in Wpg, does yours say HSPA or HSPA+ in the speedtest app when you go to those individual results?
On a side note, im surprised how fast this devices wifi can go on my home connection.

It tells me HSPA when I go to the individual result.

I don't really care what the app itself tells me, so long as the speeds I'm getting are fast My phone is faster than my home internet's 10Mbit connection, so I can take some pride in that

Very slow speeds

Can anyone help me figure out why my download and mainly upload speeds are so slow? I'm approximately 1/4 mile from the tower and it is line of sight without any obstructions. Radios are the leaked 4.0.4 radios and speeds were basically the exact same with 4.0.2 radios. Nothing else was running and the server is about 30 miles from here. Also, I had full bars for 3g and two bars for 4G when I tested.
Top four results are 4G and second four are 3G.

I am guessing only a Verizon tech who can look at the tower can help you there. Anything else will just be a guess.

Mine is pretty bad too around the same as yours during peak hours...I think its due to over saturation at work...in the morning I get around 600 kbps...

Oops forgot this one

here is mine.

Oversaturation? VZW has so many data hungry grandfathered customers on LTE - that plus their aggressive marketing = lots of people using once-50MBps LTE now slowing it to HSDPA+ speeds?

We must work at the same place then. I don't really notice a slow down after most people leave but I'll run a speed test tomorrow evening to see if there is a difference. Btw today around 1030 I got around 30 down and 30 up, kbps.
Here is a screenshot from then.

Still crappy speeds even with less than 3/4 of the work force here today. So I'm thinking its something other than way too many people hitting the same tower.

Network saturation is a *****. Head over to the throttle thread and listen to all the people there tell you how all the heavy data users have no impact on you. The good thing is at least Verizon is proactive about their network and will likely add capacity soon. I'd certainly consider complaining a bit to them though so they know its a problem.

Aaaaaannnnnnnndddddd.............Data outage, 3/13/12

My data is out again. Anyone else? South Fla.

Data out. New York City.
Can you change your title to show this content? Like Verizon data out March 13th?
Just easier for anyone else to check before they throw their phone to the nearest wall.
UPDATE: 3G is connected. Not 4G

PA - Lehigh Valley (Out)

And here I thought it was me. I guess I did a data wipe for nothing. O-well

3g and 4g data fine here in middle of nowhere... (Lincoln, NE)

Called VZW they have no knowledge of an outage. If your out give them a call.

3G fine here with Vodafone in Germany...
12,02 GB of usage today.

Obviously this is thread is for Verizon users... in America...

half an hr ago i lost 4g and 3g....rebooted, got 4g for a couple of mins and then went back out...waited 10 mins or so rebooted and 4g seemed to be back on. Gnex Charlotte, NC

Out here in Rochester MN since I got up at 5 am. No 3G or 4g. Called Verizon to see if they knew anything. They said they didn't know anything, but have started receiving a few calls about data outages.
Edit: 4G is back for me now.

Well surprisingly I get 4G but 3G is a no go.
Edit: Jynxed myself, no 3G or 4G, thank god for WiFi at work.

It's affecting me in Cleveland, OH too. I disabled LTE, still no connection. I rebooted, and 3G wasn't coming up. The phone is working, just no data (just want to confirm that).

Strange! I'm in Montreal and I've got zilch! I tried forcing to 2G only and still nothing. I'm sitting at a Starbucks and cannot enable Wifi either. Very strange!

Data Outage Chicago
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do they not know there is a data outage prior to people calling and complaining? Don't they have checks in place that alerts when equipment goes down and/or data or calls stop happening in entire areas?

Here in Metro Philly area I'm connecting at 1X off and on.
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA

No data since at least 6am when I got up. 3G icon on the iPhone screen, no data, no emails, etc.
EDIT: South Jersey/Philadelphia suburbs.

I am all good here, so far. I disabled LTE yesterday though and never turned it back on.

4g out las vegas

Oh good, I was playing with ATT LTE earlier and was getting a constant 32-35Mbps so I wondered how Sprint compared. Those 12s in the previous posts worried me.

Not LTE speeds but nice 3G speeds here in Delaware on the FH05 modem

I have been testing along the 110/10 route from Pasadena to Santa Monica this last week, and things seem to be slowly ramping up.
The downloads have averaged around 6-9mbps and I've gotten as high as 31mbps. So quite a range, and the places it spikes are fairly consistent. So I suspect certain towers either have better backhauls than others, or have just been installed and troubleshooted a little longer - so they're more stable.
Either way, about 30% of that route has a very solid LTE connection on my Galaxy Nexus. Not great, but a nice start, and about a 100x improvement over the 3g speeds I have been seeing.

Portland
Just my $.02 worth,
Portland just got partial LTE 2weeks ago, though it comes in and out at my apartment in Beaverton. It's odd, ill have full bars of 4g, then it just disappears. Either way, I've not seen a speedtest.net test of over 5.5MB down from my sgs3

Sprint LTE speed - Boston area
Sprint LTE speeds in the Boston Area. Download does spike over 20Mbps, but usually stays in the 15Mbps range. Upload is consistently around 7Mbps. Battery life has been fine, I'd rather get less battery on LTE than not being able to stream music on 3g...

Incredibly slow 3G data; is Sprint throttling me?

So, for the majority of last month I recall having absolute **** speeds on 3G ranging from 20 to 70 Kbps occasionally reaching to something like 120Kbps. This is in my normal coverage area where I can often get from 1100 to 1800 Kbps. I had thought that I might be getting throttled since I used a total of like 14GB of 3G last month. The new billing cycle started today and I'm still getting the same horrid speeds. What gives? I've already reflashed my ROM and modem without any benefit. Anyone else know what could be going on?

Sprint is the problem. LOL I'm not sure have you tried contacting Sprint? I'm jelly that you can even achieve 1200kbps.

Hahahahahahaha I remember those days. Man that's how bad sprints service is. That's why I left them and went with Verizon.

Seriously? Who would stay with a carrier that would take 5 minutes just to load a picture? I'll be sure to call them later. For some reason that never crossed my mind.

I tried Sprint briefly years ago, sounds like they haven't improved much since then.

if not for the LTE in my area (san antonio) sprint would be unusable.

It sounds like 1X data speeds and not 3G, some of the stock roms display a 3G icon even when connected to 1X data. If you use the speedtest app
it will show a graph of the results, if the speed graph looks like it hits a ceiling around 100k,.it is probably connected to 1X data.
If you see multiple spikes in the graph well above 100k, it is probably a crappy connection/signal.

Same here. I'm on Virgin Mobile, but it's apart of Sprint too. It's been crappy for the past week.

I'm on Sprint. Get about 500 to 1000kbits on 3G in my area. I understand they're not great in all areas, but the price is good.

So. Uh. If that isn't the best speed test you've ever seen? I think Jellybro has the 1x indicator fix and the normal upload speeds seem to indicate I'm on 3G. Sprint dude just said to take it to a store. I guess I'll do that. Unless going back to complete stock might fox something. I'll try that next.
