Speed Test was showing a download speed of 0.06mbps and an upload of 0.10mpbs. I'm running Bionix V 1.2. Girlfriends Vibrant running 2.1 official (no hacked roms/kernels) is getting download speeds over 2.5mpbs on the download and upload is at around 1.10mpbs.
Does anyone know what the **** is going on? Pardon my language but this has been frustrating me all day, Pandora is dipping in and out, practically unlistenable and the browsing speed is been horrible.
I'm ready to just flash this back to stock and do this all over again but I'd really prefer an alternative...
I would try flashing a different modem. It seems like that would clear any issues up.

Sounds like you're throttled. Check how much data you have used.

He's right u could be throttle normally T Mobile will send u a txt message to let u know they throttle ur data speeds.

Yeah, I'm getting pretty good speeds with Bionix v 1.2. (2.5mb down) It could be you are getting poor reception with the new modem though, but I'm guessing you are throttled just like everyone else suggested.
after my first reboot with 1.2 my speeds were very poor, like .2 down, .3 up. Then I rebooted again and I'm back to where I should be. Check to make sure you're not throttled and give it a reboot.
Take a deep breath and reboot.
I had a similar issue and called tmob; they reset my connection (?) And told me I could pull my battery and wait ten minutes then boot up to fix it also.
My issue: I was unable to get any 3g connection and it wouldn't switch to edge. I switched to gsm manually and edge worked. I'm not clear on why it happened though or why switching to gsm manually worked. (I'm stock and this all happened before the froyo update)

I have a rooted vibrant running stock Tom with the j16 update and my 3g works intermittently at best. Is there any fix I can do myself?? Its understandable if I were in a cave but I'm getting full bars and my signal strength is -89 dbm 12 Asus. Please please anyone. I'm almost to the point where I'm about to call T-Mobile and see if they can switch me out a different phone. I hate the idea of paying for the web and nit being able to use it. BTW, if I pull my battery off and restart the data connection will work for about 10 mibs

I'm interested to see the answer/suggestions as well, I've been having the same issue.
It will work then not, a restart or going into flight mode and back will get it working for awhile. It does it over Wi-Fi too..(Sound familiar?)........... It's done it stock, rooted with OCLF, with ji6 and now even with Bionix 1.9
Yeah I mean my wifi works all the time but now even when I do the airplane mode it doesn't bring back my 3g data connection. Its driving me bat **** tho. How about u?

How good it the 3G coverage in your area?
Try a market app called Map Viewer. At home I'm out of 3G coverage.
OK I will try to download it and let you know

Do a factory data reset.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
well I found out from the map that my 3g coverage system work is supposedly non existence. Go figure. So I'm basically getting snippets of it. If I do a factory reset I will lose all my info right? And when you say reset do u mean using Odin and flashing stock 2.1?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Do it from the phone settings, privacy. Yes, u will loose all yr apps, but save them using appsaver from android market first. Your new rom update will still be there. Hope this helps. Thats what I did to correct my 3g issue, just like what you described.

just throwing this idea out there. tmobile could be doing tower work in your area. i experienced this for awhile where data was just iffy and wasnt very reliable. this may happen on and off for a few days.
Has anyone come across a rom or something else that prevents the data throttle? I've looked everywhere, there's an app that doesn't seem to work and all the other methods seem to be dead since T-Mobile started regulating it from there side

There's another thread about the data throttle and from what I have read in it there is no longer a way around the throttle. Sorry.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
that bites, but thanks for confirming my fears lol
Yes I've tried everything, but tmobile catches up to it all......there is just no getting around it :-[
Sometimes they just don't catch it, last month they didn't for me and I used over 60gb.

I agree they are hit and miss on the throttle. I always seem to get the message but if I run a speed test sometimes I'm still getting full speeds.
Yeah, that's the same with me. Although it would be nice if "unlimited data" ment unlimited, not slow.

true. Throttle is actually controlled by T-pain mobile and not with the phone.

Should I switch my Preferred Mode from CDMA Only to Automatic? I notice download and upload speeds were alot more when I did switch to Automatic, but keep getting a FC on com.android.phone process? Had to Flash a new rom to get rid of the issue.
Really want the speeds back but dont want the A FC com.android.phone process.
Rom: CleanROM 2.1 (2.3.4 deoxed)
Any thoughts on CDMA ONLY vs Automatic?
I've done both and haven't seen a difference. I think all peoples phones may vary. I did a speed test on both and maybe its my area or phone but got nothing significant.

Putting the phone in Sprint only makes the phone inky look for Sprint towers. The only reason, really, to out Tue phone into automatic is if you know you are going to be roaming.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
leave it in automatic also i would download roam control in the market because u can force roam anytime u want just in case ur signal with sprint is weak
No have no clue but i really wuld like to get my.hands on the deodexd version of the new 2.3.4 (2.08)ota update if u culd please post me a link

I've noticed since yesterday that my phone stays in CDMA only mode, no matter how many times I change it to Automatic, it doesn't stick.........any suggestions to change to Automatic and it stay?
Has anyone else noticed their data speeds drop significantly after this latest update? At first I just figured they were doing something to the network, but here a week or so later I'm still getting around 100 - 200kb where I used to get 1mb.

Mine seems fine. I am running Eternity 3.0 with no issues. All I have is 3g in my area tho and I live out in the country side. Do you live in a big city were there is alot of folks hammering away on data?
I'm near cocoa beach so it's not uncommon for them to get this low during the day, but around now at one in the morning the they're usually good.
My upload speeds seem fine also, it's just my down stream data that is horrible.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yeah my data speeds have tanked too man, sucks!
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I think it may have affected me also. At night I can still pull over 1 mb down on 3g. WiMAX I haven't been able to pull over 1 mb down my upload speeds are normal for both I'm not sure if its location related or update related. The other night I couldn't even download an app on 3g.
It is so noticeable! The latest update destroyed my data speeds. It's horrific now. Now, even in major cities I've never had a problem in, I struggle just to refresh a web page. Seriously, if I'm not on wifi I can't even use this anymore.

My data speeds were always pretty bad but I've noticed other carriers like att and Verizon having same issues.
The fix that works for me every time is on the stock ROM dial ##CLEAR# enter your msl tap menu and restore, then reboot your phone

have no fluctuation here whatsoever, not even the slightest bit.
My speeds on 3G were always not so great and before and after the update they didn't budge to be honest.
Still waiting on the tower upgrade to be done near my house to fix the capacity issue it has. Too bad im told thats not set to be done till April 1st. lol
Love that they spent the time to do the voice capacity upgrade in December when Ive never ever had a dropped call here once, but data has always capped out at sub par speeds.
Believe me i check multiple times during the day and multiple servers on the speedtest app always in the same exact location and compare the same times of day and its funny to watch the speed i get at 6am be crushed by 11am when normal folk wake up. haha

Either way, restoring my data profile doesn't work.

Try this...
##72786#
select edit and enter MSL
select menu and then Reset
After phone goes through "hands free activation" and your back at your dialer, enter this:
##3282#
select edit and enter MSL
select data profile
select menu and select Restore
Update profile
Make sure you have a good data connection to allow hands free activation.

Sprint speeds suck, point blank, no questions asked. I know sprint is good in some areas but where I live in and out of Los Angeles I can only get around 15 kbps to 120 kbps on 3G during the day normally.

I agree but you shouldn't be getting faster upload speeds compared to download.. Something has to be causing this... I might do some more tinkering with epst...

Just throwing this out there, but is it possible this may have something to do with it?
Alright. So I have been wandering the forum and can't find a thing about this. When I'm using my 4g I seem to hit a point (100 mb or so) when the 4g just disappears. and WILL NOT come back till I do a battery pull. I have used the 4g on off app thing. I have tried ##778* (although I feel like there might be an answer in this menu still.) all in all it is frustrating when I'm downloading a 500mb rom from here and it cuts out 1/5 of the way through and just won't come back
does anyone else have this issue? and yes I have 2-3 bars of coverage at my house, so it should not be a reception issue at all.
thank you for the help!!
Hmmmm...not sure....4g drops out for me but thats only because im on their edge of coverage....never had it drop cuz of downloading a certain amount...what rom are u using?
Well I'm on ics business sense. I would assume the rom but it has done that from the beginning. I only lose 4G when I'm downloading something. Otherwise I have it all the time at home.
