What kind of speeds do you guys get?

[Zzim]

OK so I live in the Chicago land area however I am right outside of the range of a 4G signal.

On 3G.....and I am not even sure if I am on 3g/Ev anymore because the 1x icon is disabled in the stock rom...I only get 9.5 kB/s download and 13.8 kB/s pu. OR if you are on default setting that converts to 76kbps down and 111kbps up.

When I had a touch pro 2 I was getting MUCH faster speeds. I have researched somethings and I found that we had issues with upload but never saw anything about download.

Is this just me or is something wrong?

Well for me it is the towers, in south texas i am lucky to break 100k up, right now i am in houston and i am getting about 1.2 megs up on 3g. For some reason the south texas area (mcallen,edinburg..etc) just has very poor 3g speed.

Also look into the Roam Control app to use the Verizon network.

Verizon only allows roaming on their 1x network. This would not help the OP

Also go to the dialer and type *#INFO*1111# then select phone information. Scroll down to network type and see if you're actually connected to EVDO or 1x

For 3G Try This..
It may already be implemented in your ROM, just check again:
Steps:
1. Know the MSL
2. Dial ##3282#
3. Go to multimedia
4. HTTPPD Proxy Port must be 0
5. HTTPPD Proxy Address must be 0.0.0.0


Tried that but it was already set.....

sooo no fix on that

It says I am on CDMA - EvDo rev.A

Signal Strength is -91dBm

Judging by your speeds in your OP, that is 100% 2G speeds (aka 1x). You're just in a dead area - I was getting those speeds until about 2 weeks ago. Sprint upgraded their network in my area.

Its samsungs radio. Cant be the towers. Im in nyc and

My hero gets hspa speeds (well average around 3mb/s dl and 1.2mb/s ul)

Whereas i have to be on "4g" with the epic to even get close to and finally pass that.


I feel they gimped the 3g radio to make 4g seem more special cuz the 4g has relatively great speeds

Is this a free app the market has it for 3.99.....I don't want to pay for anything and is only going to give me a slight boost

At home, I can pull 1.2 meg down all day, every day. Down around the Purdue campus, i'm lucky to hit 400 kbps.

I'm in Southeast PA (Philly suburbs). I pull anywhere from .5mbps to 1.2mbps down and .3mbps to .6mbps up on Speedtest.net in 3G. And about 3.5mbps to 6.1mbps down and .5mbps to 3mbps up in 4G.

I did the 3G and 4G adjustments and it definitely made a positive impact.

Hello fellow Boiler! I second the Purdue numbers.

 

[Zzim]

So when you say the radio you mean its a physical limitation or is it something software related?

I guess my next questions is in 2.2 do we get a new radio if its software related.

i live in new york
i jus did the fix on both 3g and 4g
3g: dl: .74mbps ul:.14mbps
4g: dl .95mbps ul:.04mbps

whats with the up speeds in 4g being less than 3g?

 

[jjhuber]

About 20 miles north of Austin.

3G, I usually pull about 1.5-2.0mbps down.

4G, at home where I have no real reception (~-90dBm), I get about 4mbps, sometimes hitting 7. In my office at work, where the connection is even worse (~-101dBm), I'll get about 1.5-2.5mbps. When I'm outside and have a good signal (~-70dBm), I'll hit around 7-8mbps, sometimes peaking around 10-11.
