I keep getting "Connection timed out" errors while trying to open Google Play Store on Sprint 3G in Manhattan.
I decided to run Speed Test app, and I'm seeing 83ms ping, 492 kbps download, and it's been sitting here waiting for upload the finish for the last 5 minutes. It's currently zero.
I'm also having issues with sending Gmail's, obviously because I have no upload capability.
Apart from the crappy Sprint 3G service (which is astounding in Midtown Manhattan), are there any other setting I should be looking at ?
I'm running Elemental X build 3 with KT747 5/29 kernel. Baseband MD4

Thanks. I will give this a shot.

Could be worse signal than ever due to tower upgrades on Vision Network. I hear NY is being worked on at this moment.

Seems like they're working on it big time. Well at least according to THIS map.
There's an issue when LTE is enabled and you go from LTE to 3G and something gets fouled up leaving the data borked until you cycle airplane mode or reboot. I've read if you keep it in 3G/EVDO mode, there aren't any issues.

The only roms with issues handling the transfer between 4g and 3g are AOSP roms. Touchwiz roms do not have this problem. But when Network Vision was being updated and brought online in my area I went through very similar issues. At times where I normally got good 3g, I was almost getting no connection.

Yes the signal gets all weird when they're working on an Update in an area. They are still working on it here in my area. Sometimes it will go to pot for most of the day. The upside is that they are working on it.

They are on an aosp build. Says they are running elemental x, which I thought was a varient of aosp, but I'm a noob to sgs3 so I could be wrong...
I am having a similar problem on aosp where I can't connect to the play store. It times out and it doesn't matter if I reboot the phone, turn off data, or cycle airplane mode. I can access the web fine and do other internet based stuff. TW Roms in the other hand work fine. I've updated my PRL and my profile. I'm up to date on my firmware (as far as I know..like I said, I'm a noob to the sgs3). Can't figure it out. ..

Okay so here is my story.
I have had this phone since it was first released. I have rooted my phone successfully and I have been using custom rom's since gingerbread.
Whenever I install ICS roms, the 4G will always fall to <100kbps on the speed test app. When I go back to gingerbread the 4G speeds are normal.
I've tried about 20 different ICS modems and kernels on various ICS roms and I get the same results.
Just today I went to the Sprint store and got my phone replaced thinking maybe I just had a bad phone. I just installed another ICS ROM and I'm getting the same Bull**** 4G speeds... WTF (I'm tight)
Any advice, tips, ideas, or am I just a duncebat?

When I talk to other people on the ICS Rom threads it sounds as if I'm the only one with that problem and everyone else's speeds are just fine.

I get that same problem. And it gets stranger still. I pay for 30Mbps internet at home. If I speed test on my computer, I get 30, or damn close to it. But when I speed test on my phone, I get a whopping 10. Since wimax is wifi, I am guessing that its a problem in the modem related to wifi. Anyone else experiencing this?

So I'm at school where fortunately we have lte, but lately my phone only connects to 3g unless I reboot while in campass. But even after class I go back outside and have to reboot again to connect to lte. Anyone else have an issue like this???

I'm having the same issue.
Full LTE available at work. Some days, it's stays on 4G throughout my entire shift. Sometimes when I use my phone for daily tasks such as web/sms/calls it drops off to 3G and stays there til I reboot then 4G comes back again. Strange.
Are you running CM or a TW ROM?

Howdy, Well i've been a member for a bit.. Just picked up a Touch for little to nothing. Moving from the Original Epic to this. (Was running CM10/Crespo (NS4G) modem. Just finished installing CM10 on this one. Wondering which modem would allow fastest speeds. Any other tid bits of info are welcome too.. Like i said, new to this device specifically. Devs, if this belongs somewhere else, please move and i apologize for posting in wrong location. Community, Thanks for the help!
Módem speeds depend mostly by area and coverage. I remember a thread about modems and people reporting their experience by area and modem, but can't find it.
As soon as I find it I link you to the thread, if someone happens to find it first better yet.
Edit: Finally found the thread.

For aosp roms, el29 seems to be the most stable and fi03 is appears to have best speeds for ics/jb. YMMV. Enjoy your e4gt.

I am in Seattle and the only 2 places I ever saw 4G is the Sprint store or the Sprint stand in the mall.
Soon as you leave 4G vanishes and only 3G exist.
Since sprint is going LTE I will stay with them. If they was not going LTE I'd bail.
Need to look around at the kernals, modems and roms as well.
My ET4G died and got a new one and they loaded with ICS.
It came to my attention that a lot of people were in need of the handoff.zip that fixes the data on cm ROMs. I was unaware it was no longer available on the original thread so here ya go. I'll leave it up for about a week.

Switching to cdma only should fix it (especially if you're not even in an LTE area)

Really bud? I mostly hate when the dev tell us to "go use search" but really? If you can't go to the Cyan thread and read a little then you shouldn't be flashing ROMs, because youre a brick waiting to happen.
Anyways...go check out Slim's 4.2 in the original section. Its very smooth and will be getting updated shorty. And please read thro the thread a bit...
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks OP, but I would like to state that this fix has already been merged into the CM10 gerrit.
The flashable zip posted from the OP has the same APN xml as this.
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/27507/
As of Dec 6th, it's been in the CM10 ROM. This means any cm10 based rom will automatically have this built in.
There is another bug floating around where data times out randomly and the only thing we, the users, can do is provide radio logs to the CM10 devs.
The steps to help is described in this post.
Thanks for being an awesome community.
First of all, I'm not completely sure what's changed in transition to 4.1.2 to 4.2+, but LTE, while coverage is roughly the same, pulls nearly ~60% of the speeds available.
It's not just Touchwiz vs aosp, either. I have flashed Cm10 based on aosp 4.1.2 and have been able to pull more than 30mpbs on LTE. I know this is possible on cm10.1, but you'd have to be in the perfectly ideal location.
I've compared APN settings and even flashed the cm10 APN settings onto cm10.1. No dice. I want to see what others think the issue is.
What has changed in the RIL and is it possible to copy it over from 4.1.2 into 4.2.2?

I noticed the same thing from CM10 to 10.1. It's really weird! I'd love to get it working properly.
I approve of this thread 100%. I've got no development background or anything, but I'm capable of producing any logs needed and I've got donation cash for whoever is willing to put their time into figuring this out.

Possibly posting a radio log from Cm10 and Cm10.1. I'll try the IRC later and see if I can get Detule or Noobnl to look into it.
