So I have spent 2 hours searching for some way to adjust me setting in order to speed up my 3g speeds. Could someone please post any changes to my settings that might speed up my 3g speeds.
Move to a 4G area? Its not a car, you can't just make it go faster.
Thanks
I didn't know if there we some teaks in the ##data# menu that I could change to increase my speed. Where I live I am right outside 20 miles from Eugene Oregon that just got 4g. My service here at my home is less than desirable so I am actually using a Verizon prl.
No need to be rude man. The guy was just tryin to improve his philone.

Try searching for EVRC-B in the forums. It increased my 3G speeds.

EVRC-B is a vocoder. How would it have any effect on datarate?

Who knows, but for a lot of people (perhaps just a placebo effect?) it seems to.

For those lots of people, they're imagining things. This will increase your data speed about as effectively as different color back cover on it. It is just as unrelated.
Thats a typo, maybe uve heard of them?
Perception my friend....it was how i perceived it. And on anothrr(hmm typo?) Note, the orginal person my comment was meant for didnt care.

I noticed i was distracted and did not answer the question posted..
I find it that if you free up your phones memory you can maximize performance ,including but not limited to speed.

AFAIK, you're limited by whatever towers you have in your area and then by Sprint's cap. If you live in an area with poor reception, maybe you could buy a signal repeater or amplifier or something like that. If you have wifi available at work or at home, that's always a good option for faster data.
The phone should use as much speed as the tower can/will give it... although someone correct me if I'm wrong
3G speeds are comparable to "broadband" (you know, vs. a modem lol) but they are no match for modern DSL/Cable and from what I read (YMMV) current 4G isn't either.

Also completely unrelated to data rate and what are you doing to "fill up" the memory to the point it hurts performance?
I'm running Damage 3.2.3 and with JIT enabled my WiFi and data speeds are a bit faster. JIT does come with some instabilities though. You might also want to try a Froyo Rom. The JIT performance from those are insane.

JIT has no effect on data throughput.

Probably not actually.
Obviously not, however when i dont clear the running tasks, and i have lets say 40mb of mem avl...the internet perfermance is affected.

Actually, through SpeedTest my data and WiFi numbers are higher with JIT enabled than without. Wasn't trying to get all technical. It was just my observation.
Actually, you should be looking into the issue where the PRI is not updating because we downgraded the bootloader to the ENG version to gain root access.... I think that this is an issue with all rooted devices. My GF has an unrooted EVO, and I ran a side by side comparison using the FCC speed test app, and my 3g speeds were less than 50% of hers(0.60 Mb/s compared to her 1.20-1.60 Mb/s).
rooted devices seem to have PRI version 1.34_003(or at least mine does), and my GF's and her brother's have PRI version 1.40_003.... this was the only software difference that I could see when comparing devices.
not sure if I am correct on all of the bits of info here... just something that I noticed.... feel free to correct me
I have no idea what is going on, but my 3G speeds have gone to ****. I've tried everything to get them back... I just don't get it...
This is with 2 'coverage' bars on CM6...

How long ago were you getting good speeds? Because it could just be the Sprint network, because they have gotten a lot of new people because of the new phones to come out, and that could be the cause.
I've had my phone since Aug 11th... So almost a month and a half... My speeds have just got worse and worse as time has gone on... Maybe the network is overloaded, I don't know... but man it sucks.

Try rebooting. I was having that same issue some weeks back. I was hitting > 14.4kbps on 3g and 3.2mbps on 4g. I did a quick restart and 3g shot back up to 600ish kbps.

sometimes this is the case, not just the evo, but having to reboot the wife's hero also.
I notice that at night my speeds drop dramatically. I can play youtube vids in the day time without any stutter but once it's about 8pm the numbers on speedtest drop and I have constant buffering. I don't know if it's because everyone is home and bandwith is being used a little heavier or if sprint automatically drops the bandwith at night.
I've tried rebooting multiple times with no luck... looks like I'm either being capped or in high usage area...

your ping is pretty terrible too - did you try other servers?
My 3G got really bad right before the unofficial launch of 4G here. Not quite as low as what you show, but BAD compared to what it was.

Welcome to Sprint, mine is exactly the same. I can rarely get over 500 kbps at night but can usually get 1 mbps or better during the day. The weird one is that at night my upload speed is almost always higher then my download speeds.
Night before last I noticed my browser was unusually sluggish so I did a speed test. Download was 39 kbps upload was 150 kbps, did a test the following morning and it was 1101 kbps down and 550 kbps up.
This is in a very rural area, so I seriously doubt if the tower I am connecting to is getting overwhelmed with bandwidth usage.

Haha, I can hope my man...
Wow, yeah that's pretty bad. I am getting 960Kbps (1040 max) down and 88Kbps (158 max) up speed on one bar (-89dBm)... ran Speedtest right now to check what I'm getting.
Stuff might very well be congested over there, although one way to for-sure rule out bandwidth capping is are you doing anything to cause them to cap your bandwidth?
I'm consistently hitting right around 400 kbs down and 800 kbs up, the only time I hit higher is when I'm roaming then it's 1 mb down.

Not that I can think of.. I use my phone a lot, but it's not like I'm browsing torrents or anything... Most of my bandwidth is probably youtube and ROM downloads...
Does the rom you run have any affect on 3G speeds? I've been running CM6 forever though basically...

I'm on CM6, the 9/19 nightly I think (or 9/20 I can't remember). I don't think it has any affect on 3G speeds. I flashed the latest radio and PRI if that makes a difference (didn't notice one).
I'm currently located in New York running CDMA Galaxy Nexus with ~ -80 db.
Why is it that when I try to play HQ videos on Youtube, it is always buffering. Does anyone else have this issue?
BTW, ran a speed test and I'm getting about 2.5megs down on average, so its not like I have a bad connection.
Not sure. I watched the video where the FedEx driver threw that Samsung monitor over that guys fence with no buffer...lol.
cool. would be nice if anyone in my area is having issues with youtube videos loading.
Depends on your location and the quality of the signal. There are places where I get full bars of 4G and 30+ mbps and places where I'll only get 1 or 2 and much less .. how many bars do you have?

actually, that is kinda bad i have a -107 connection on LTE and i get 7.5
the 2 range sounds like 3g to me, you might be in a bad area =/

i said 2.5 megs down, thats 25Mbps...
i see, then maybe an issue with the youtube server?
the numbers from speed test are reliant on the server your connecting to
Are you speaking Mbps? Because 2.5Mbps isn't that fast. What exactly is the speed test showing?
Edit: I mean that that to say you shouldn't be buffering with 25Mbps.

could be a youtube issue, application side.
i had buffering issues on my original gnexus as well (replaced original as it had a dead pixel this morning at verizon store).

FYI, 2.5MB/s = 25mbps.
Yeah, thats why I'm on the phone with them. I have faster internet on LTE than my home internet connection yet I am unable to buffer HQ videos...

Not that matters but your conversion is wrong. 8bits in 1byte so 2.5MB/s = 20mbps (or 25mbps = 3.125 MB/s).
so none of you guys are having any buffering issues with HQ youtube clips?

It depends. Some use 10:1 to cover overhead, and in some forms of data communications there's a start bit and a stop bit in each packet, making it 10bits per byte.
Generally, those who divide by 10 (I do) are ball parking an estimate, not giving you exact figures.
YouTube runs and looks beautiful on my lte gnex
Im in NY on the LTE Nexus and the highest dl speeds I got were in the 30s. No buffering problems, not even on 3g
FYI, are you guys watching Youtube videos in HD? You need to do that in General Settings - Enable HQ
Went up to tier 2 with VZW CSR, they can't resolve the issue. Opened a trouble ticket with them. Hopefully the next update will resolve the issue, if not, its going to have to be returned.
I'm pretty disappointed with the Nexus release. Along with the display defect, Samsung could have done a better job of Quality Control.
I was at a verizon store and noticed the YouTube HD buffering. Speedtest was 25+ mbps download, but it buffered every few seconds, wtf!?
Funny thing is that I am noticing buffering at home too, on Verizon FIOS. Is there something wrong with YouTube these days?

i think its a youtube application issue. they should probably update it. hopefully the new radio update will resolve buffering issue as well.
Could just be Youtube too... I get this all the time on the desktop version too.
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

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!
I've been getting very high app useage from System(Adsprpcd) idk why. My sounds aren't on either. But other than that, I love the update
