Hi guys!
I am having a BIG issue with this ROM with LTE connection.
I thought at first it was a matter of issues where I live or maybe I was being capped by ATT (I should not be over the limit yet) but yesterday I decided to test at home which usually is about 20Mb download and got the same result as I get at work, not even 1Mb down! Really just about .55 and 1.18 upload!
I checked the APN and it looks like the normal ATT settings I use but even tried some other "alternative" ones I have used before and same thing. Changed the modem to the one on the OP and same issue.
Tested a different ROM and back I was at the 20Mb download at home.
No idea what is going on but this is a killer for m :/
Anyone else seeing this?
It almost looks like it was been capped since it speeds up to 1.5 and then starts kicking down to that .55 or so level. But as my test showed, it works fine with other Roms
I am more surprised not seeing more reports about this. This is testing right after flashing so no other apps could be causing this etc.
Unfortunately i was getting all-around sluggish performance from Skynote 4.3 and was essentially forced away from it to get better performance out of my device. On my t0ltecan(TELUS) i was getting about 1/2 speeds compared to my typical on other ROMs
Well now I am totally confused. Flashed CM11 again today and my speed is still slow. So it looks like throttling but that does not explain how I got normal speeds yesterday...gosh I hate mysteries like this! :/

I apologise if this has come up before. However, and I don't understand why, my HTC DEsire was running perfectly about 2 weeks ago. But for some reason after I installed the iNSertCoin ROM my internet speed and market download speed is INSANELY slow. My phone says that I've got a 4 bar HSDPA connection so this really shouldn't be occuring. I've reverted back to the GingerVillain ROM (the rom I used before iNsertCoin) and it's still a problem.
I've tried many different Radios with the correct RIL's and nothing seems to work. It works fine with wifi (don't know why that would help but meh )
Help would be much appreciated guys. THanks.
Is anybody there?!
Come on guys. Someone help lol
You do realise that using something like HSDPA or 3G connects maybe miles away. It also depends on how much connection your carrier is giving out. Just use Wi-Fi or something but using something like HSDPA isn't always guaranteed to be 100% fast at ALL times.
Check at your carrier if you have any kind of maximum bandwith use. Maybe after like 200MB data transfer your account gets limited speeds. Fair use policy or something. Maybe that's why your speeds are so slow.
My plan is Unlimited Internet and I'm 100% sure I don't use so much that I exceed the fair-use policy. And my point is that 2 weeks ago it was perfectly fine. The speed was fine and I haven't moved house or anything. Just seems very odd that it would drop so much. For example, it takes me A VERY LONG time to download an app now. Before, this wasn't the case.
Hi!So just some background info, I have had the Samsung Fascinate prior to this phone and had 2 replacemnts through verizon. I was having data issues and the phones had hardware issues so they gave me the Droid Incredible 2.
Anyways, I have been getting extremely slow verizon downloads lately. Sometimes apps will take 10 minutes or even more to download when I remember that they used to download in about 5 seconds one or two months ago. I am NOT a heavy data user (as in i'm not in the top 5%), and I have the Unlimited data. Browsing speeds, market download speeds and everything is slow and getting really frustrating. (download speeds around 10-200 kbps!!) [tested with speedtest.net]
Does anyone have any ideas? I have called verizon and they said their was some kind of market (non android) block on my phone since last march, but disabling that didn't really change much.
Let me know if anyone has experienced similar issues within the past month or two or has a fix! Thankss
(i was going to try to root and flash roms/new radio to see if that would help? but idk :/)
My apps seem to download about the same on this phone, as my Original Dinc.
I flashed the 722 radio and that helped me alot.
My speeds were slow also. Everywhere I went.
Now when I am at home they are halfway decent (700-1200 kbps) (I am normally on wifi anyways)
And at work they are better. (1700-2200 kbps)
I noticed this morning(I did the stock ICS update last night) and noticed a big difference in internet speed, it's actually got faster. Has anyone else experienced this? I know I'm not imagining it.
Thanks

I am getting slightly over 13+ megs download speed. I use to get 11 max before getting the official ICS.

I went from 8 to 11, almost 12
Running the LE1 modem on Darkside:Evo and seeing increased speeds as well... I LIKE IT!!
I've noticed a definite increase in data speed, particularly on E and even G areas. I've also noticed that on borderline areas between 4G and E (lot of those around here), 4G seems to hold up longer before turning to E, or even completely sticking. I've always loved how Samsung's modems (Vibrant and GSII) get stronger with every update!
hi im having this problem my galaxy s3 suddenly became stuck at some download speed my friend have a galaxy s2 and speedtest reflected 11 MB on his phone while in mine reflected 1.5MB on the same place side by side we repeated the test like 4 times in a row and happened the same thing my phone still slower in diferent places his phone was faster than mine i cant be throttled cause i changed the plan to unlimited i cant stream videos cause it frezees and im thinking about selling this one to buy an S2 could some body hive me a little help here

Let's start with firmware, modem version, and is your IMEI missing or 0?

Maybe you're being throttled?

i called costumer service and also went to a t-mobile store and they said that my account was ok that i wasn't throttled this happened suddenly like a month ago also my cycle began and still the same sometimes i notice that the speeds try to get higher but acts like there is something that doesnt let go
What ROM?

Silly question but it must be asked. Are you sure that your friend's S2 is with T-Mobile and not Sprint or some other carrier?
Also, are you using some funky aftermarket case that might be blocking your reception?
Third, here's a link to the newest radio. I've tried all and it is by far the best. I get d/l of 27mbit and upload around 3.6mbit. Insane speeds using a touchwiz rom.

yes my friend s2 is t-mobile i dont use any cover and i already flashed that modem no success a little bit faster like 2 more MB but doesn't even reach 5 MB

If you were on CM then it's a known issue but you said stock rom so.... I'm fresh out of ideas. There's no reason why yours should be slower. My speeds are insane and there really isn't much different in your setup. I suppose maybe your antenna isn't connecting like it should? Do you have weak or low signal that is lower than your friend's S2? If they are the same then it's not an issue.
If you are rooted the first thing to try would be to flash each of the radios in the dev section. Could solve your problem right there.
If that doesnt check your build.prop and try a few of these values:
ro.ril.gprsclass=12; 30;31;32;33;34
ro.ril.hsxpa=3
ro.ril.hsdpa=26;28;30;32;34;36
ro.ril.hsupa=7;8;9
You will only use one number at a time for each. I listed multiple as any one of them can be best for you in your location.
My recommended starting values for testing are as follows:
ro.ril.gprsclass=32 then 12, 30, 34
ro.ril.hsxpa=3
ro.ril.hsdpa=28 then 32, 34, 30
ro.ril.hsupa=9 then 7, 8
Good info about these are on Wikipedia.
You will need to reboot after each change for it to take effect. Time and data consuming to test, but it might help you out.
Thats just my recommended testing method. You can of course jump around as much as you wish!
Make sure there is a blank line at the end of the build.prop and also check for and delete duplicate entries.
If all else fails go to tmobile before selling it. Ive heard of a number of people getting replacements for stuff like this, even after the remorse period. If you can get an S3 going good itll blow that S2 away! I see no reason why the S2 should be significantly better in any area!
Good luck!

Depends on the data plan your paying for

No it doesn't. If he's not being throttled the plan has nothing to do with his speeds.

i dont know what could be when we did the test both have full bars if you see my phone speed test the gauge starts to struggle like trying to get faster while my friend s2 goes smoothly and the graphics at the bottom to
Did you try out the other modems?

well here is an update my phone suddenly in the same place that i tested my gs3 and my friend gs2 started to download very fast 12MB and 10MB wich it was very good :laugh: but then only lasted like 2 hour and then again slowed download speed at 1MB and my friend gs2 kept very fast 9MB download speed is getting pretty annoying that my phone is constantly slowing down speeds with no reason don't know what it could be and im getting angry with this
I've just picked up one of these fine handsets and so far am liking it a lot. One of my main bugs however is my data speed on stock/stock varient rom.
I'm on three uk. On my old phone, HTC One m7 i used to get up to 28mb on 3g. On this phone i only get just over 10mb on stock. I switched to cm12 to check it out today and got my old 28mb again.
The old build.prop tweaks seem to make no difference.
Anyone got any hints or ideas? Thanks.

28 Megabytes per second?! I would be able to help if I averaged more than 1 Mbps...
The lack of competition and innovation in internet providers in the US is killing me. Sorry man, I just had to inquire about how fast that was.

Hey yeh 28Mbps. The network I'm on offers a "Superfast" 3G connection. It's a DC-HSDPA, Advanced connection. Or something like that anyway. For some reason with the G3 though I'm only hitting maybe 15Mbps down maximum, which is good but not good enough lol.
