So,I was gonna flash this because I had great luck with it on the epic, but I don't think I need it... must have done some serious tower improvements recently...

Very nice.. Better then what I've been getting lately. I'm running about 1.2mbps down, 600kb up. Still more than acceptable for watching you tube videos.

Nothing for me..

my rooted MA6 stock didn't have the file in /system/etc initially, so I created it manually and copied it in there, then rebooted. I didn't see any difference. I'll just remove the file and reboot.

help with 3g speed please

Good day, I have a blu dash 3.5, i can live with the low ram to an extent, and i like the phone.i use the 3g slot on a 1900 band the problem is my 2g data speed is way faster than the 3g speed. it is not a network problem as far as i know because i actually work with the network i use for my 3g slot, also the 3g speed is fine in other phones. has anyone experience this??? i desperately need help with this!! i read on other blogs about a trick where you root your phone and manipulate settings to increase the speed but i dont know how to root any phone and it seems this is the hardest to root. can someone pleaseeee help me, i just want reg 3g speed!!!

Speeds at home with my Airrave when from ~1000kbps download on 3g to ~2100kbps download. Simply awesome! Can't wait to try it when I'm out and about.

    Coming from the Epic 4G I remembered a little script Marcusant wrote awhile back that promised increased 3G speeds. I had forgotten about it, but always had it on my Epic, and didn't think much of it, or even knew if it really worked.

    So I noticed my 3G speeds since getting my S3 have seemed slower, so I remembered that thread. Installed it and you can see my results in the picture. 1st three test without, last one with. I was pleasantly surprised. I have done several other tests since this screenshot with similar results. YMMV.

    Please make sure to Thank Marcusant.

    I'm just fine with my 30 mpbs down with LTE and unlimited data on Sprint.

    No doubt. I'm in a little town north of Baltimore, MD out in the middle of nowhere and I have pretty good service. Calls never drop, 3g is consistent, and I just yesterday discovered that we have lte. I've been with Sprint since 2000. Started with Nextel and then wanted smart phones. I pay a lot less than friends on Verizon and t-mo and they get little to no signal in this lost little burg. My S3? I get 3 bars most time with more minutes than I could possibly use and unlimited everything else.
    I've said it before and I'll say it again. Some people just aren't happy with anything they have. My neighbor has t-mo and *****es all the time, neighbor on the other side *****es about Verizon, my sons ***** about Sprint (I pay all the bills so I don't know why they complain). No service is perfect and complaining on a forum where your provider will never see it doesn't make sense to me.
    I agree with y.g. I'm happy with the speeds I'm pulling in.

    Like I said I don't remember it giving me much of a boost on my Epic, but I'm glad I found it again :)

    Agree. will be flashing it to the S3 here in a bit. Too lazy to boot into recovery now and do it LOL

    I definitely got a decent speed increase after flashing the data file.. Double the speed
    I got the sg3 on black Friday, coming for the Evo with working 4g Wimax, this is painful. Thanks
