Ok, i have finally received the much anticipated 1.83 update. I did a final speedtest to kiss my slow speeds goodbye, and installed the new update. Before the update my speeds were 1.89 mbps down and .43 mbps up.. now after the upgrade i am getting .43 mbps down and .11 mbps up!!! what is going on? i have hard reset my phone, i have tested multiple times with an excellent signal and now my phone craaaawwwllsss. i cant even download anything from the app store because of my connection.
Has anyone had a similar issue, is there a way to go back to 1.57?
Thanks for listening to my rant.

I'm having a similar problem. After installing the update (via Motorola software, not OTA) I only have access to EDGE networks. Also, I have lost root. Would the old afterupdate.bat fix this?
Thanks
I'm having the same issue, speeds actually seem to have slowed down. Where are you located?

I'm in Northern NJ. I always have full 3g at my desk at work. In fact, I had full 3g this morning.
Better ones in Houston, TX
2.5Mbps down, 1.5mbps up on average...
Did you do OTA 1.8.3 or sbf flash?

I updated y plugging my phone into my computer and updating through the motorola update software.
I think the downstream speeds are less after the update. Fastest speeds of all for me were using the Telstra radio from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052914
But this was before the update and while I am tempted to go back to the Telstra radio I am not flashing it at the current time. Mainly because I don't have an sbf with the .83 radio to go back to if there is an issue. So I would strongly advise against using the Telstra radio (post update) until one of the developers figures it out, confirms it is ok and provides an oem .83 update radio to fall back on.
At first I thought it was a time of day thing but I am convinced the downstream speeds are less. As to the other question in this thread I don't think afterupdate will work if you didn't run the beforeupdate on .57 before updating. You can go back to .26 and then to .57 but I don't think directly back to .57. This is what I recall seeing in vrs threads.
If you do a search you will see folks are using Gingerbreak to gain root after the update.
Imho
I'll try to use gingerbreak once I am in a position to backup my micro SD. I really hate having to restart my phone every time I need to use the SD for mass storage.
im not on the edge network, i dont think, my phone shows h+ and in my system settings i am now on hspa instead of hsdpa. im in the cincinnati market.
Do some real-world testing in addition to speedtest type stuff. Speedtest app has a lot of variance for me post-update. Down is 2-3.5mbit, up ranges from 400kbit-1.5mbit. The down is pretty much as it was before. The up is a good bit better than the 150kbit I had pre-upgrade but it almost looked throttled...initial burst then flat 400kbit after a few seconds.
I did test FTP and scp file uploads to a few different places and the upstream seemed more stable than speedtest suggests. Stayed above 1mbit and usually around 1.5mbit.

I did a spf flash yesterday and I have really good speeds at home. At work, it's another story. Since I only get 1 bar here in the office, the old radio performed better by having a consistent connection whereas the new update has is having a hard time maintaining the connection. Sucks since I use my the cell connection more at work than at home.
I believe ATT just released the 1.83 update OTA. I got a notification asking me to update. I'm holding back until I see some more information of what changes after the update.
I had this issue at start of beta. Was fixed after several reboots for me.

Were you talking about my message? If you were, just rebooting eventually fixed it?
yea, my real world test is that out in the open air, i cannot even log onto marketplace, it just gives me a network error. I can hit up a simple website, like a blog and after about 2 minuets i will show some activity. its dead in the water. after driving around a bit, there were some towers that gave me upwards of 4.5 mbps download before the update, now those towers are giving me about .95 download. im screwed.
Updated without problem
I used the today released 4.1.83 OTA. It worked fine and I don't see any differences with the previous version

This happened to me too.. you don't need a '4g SIM' to get those speeds... I have my SIM from my old Fuze in my Atrix...
Try this, I did a battery pull on mine after 2 reboots and still connecting to Edge.. after the battery pull, back to *cough H+...... speed on upload went to 1.49Mbps...

i know this has been a fairly well known issue but has anyone with much better comp skills than me been able to get an idea on what is causing the connection to time out?
I was looking through the registry and saw a few things but since I wouldn't have a clue for any commands I don't wanna try.
I have an extra Titan laying around but both were flashed to the new ROM and I can't get 2.17 downloaded again to load on to that one to compare the registry.
Any help at all? ? ?
Everyone seems to be focused on GPS which works just fine for me and no one cares to try the connection timeout problem.
Thanks
yea I realized that happens a lot
i havent had that issue suprisingly, but i use exchange throughout the day...
also does anyone have the 2.17 RUU they could email me (phillips.h @ gmail.com)....i can't get it from the htc site it won't complete a DL.
thanks
yea its a good thing, when im not by a power outlet all day but it sux bc at night i like to stay connected to aim, but it doesnt werk. I have a feeling that its not a bug just a way for sprint to limit the bandwidth that is used.
im having a connection problem as well, mine is a little different though. When i upgraded to the leaked rom, it put me back to prl 60610. i upgraded the prl back to 60611 and everything has been working good except one thing, at my home i get poor sprint evdo signal. I used to be able to roam on alltel's tower and get a full evdo signal. now for some reason on this rom i can only get 1x while roaming on alltel's towers, even with the same prl. I don't understand why that would happen. does anyone here know?

News about the internet connection issues
So I don't know if this is the same as what you are experiencing, but I am able to connect to the network (it shows connected), but it won't load the pages. I went through a bunch of steps with Verizon support and got to the point where I could do what I just described. Initially, I kept getting either the error message saying that I couldnt connect for an unknown reason or username/password was wrong (even though I double checked those). I reverted back to the VZW ROM and everything works again. I'd really like to get the GPS and REV A action going, but I just can't seem to make it work. I followed the instructions everyone gave, too. If I make any progress I'll let you know.

Sometimes you have to flash that modem twice for good measures and after booting follow up with *22899 to update roaming. Which ROM, kernel, and modem you on anyways?
I am STILL having modem issues, I used the packaged 2.1 that was liek 400 megs and had modem kernel and stock eclair all packaged up, and i have done the official ota upgrades to the newer eclair AND now to froyo and STILL having the modem issues...
someone PLEASE help.....
Have you tried flashing JUST the modem? Try the EC01 modem in the Development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029436
ONLY flash the radio in Odin. Like vi3tboiii54 said, sometimes ya have to do it a second time if you don't see a change upon bootup. Godspeed.
have you updated your prl?
I have now just tried to flash the modem multiple times and I am still getting the same problem...i dont understand how this is possible, and as I have no warranty (bought it on clist) i am screwed.....
*228 is your friend...
I've had that problem since the first froyo modem (couldn't really ***** to vzw then and just used the DL09 modem) and I've *228'd my brains out. Got fed up took it in to the store bone ota stock with speed test installed. While rep was playing with the device it locked to 1x in a store with network extenders, lol. Got a new device on the way no questions (I know that's no help to you op). I just knew once the ota hit that this issue would be more prevalent on many devices. And that's indicated with all the new my signal sucks threads in the last week.
good day.
Looks like it might be a VZW issue. VZW iPad 2 3G's are having problems with 3G dropping.
Can't post link yet, but just Google "Verizon Wireless 3g issues" under News.
The workaround is "re-enabling the 3G radio then rebooting the entire iPad".
iPhone's caused issues on the AT&T network and now the iPhone and iPad are probably causing network issues on VZW.

I installed ComRom when it was released, did not go to ED01 modem. Was not having any 3g issues until this morning. Yesterday I was pulling 1.9mb download and 1mb upload. This morning, 3g keeps going out on me, and its pulling .1mb dl and .3mb upload. Seems real wierd, I never changed the modem at all. I hope itsa verizon problem.
http://community.vzw.com/t5/4G-Discussion/ATTN-Verizon-Reps-ref-LTE-outage-ETA-for-repair-and-other/m-p/513354
Verizon is having issues. Not the ROM or Modem.
Just did a side-by-side test using my ChromeOS notebook on my Verizon connection. Phone on desk, notebook on lap, less than 20" between them.
Notebook gets 1.38Mbps down, .37Mbps up with a 219ms ping.
Phone gets 55kbps down, 10kbps up with a 948ms ping.
At least in this area, it's definitely not the network.
My fascinate gets stuck in 1x all the time also. My wife's doesn't. So I called Czech and my new one is supposed to be here today.....
I have the problem pop up on the occasion. Whenever i get stuck on 1x or no data, I just put the phone into airplane mode for 10 seconds and 3g returns after exiting airplane mode.
Hello Friend Citizen! You have come to this thread because your 3g is not working correctly. You may have a 1x lock or even no data at all. It is important that you follow these steps:
1. DO NOT PANIC
2. DO NOT DECIDE TO BADMOUTH A ROM/RADIO/KERNEL ETC. (its not their fault. Honestly!)
3. Breathe.
4. See step 1.
Now that we've gone that far, let me first say that VZW is having network issues. Due to these issues, they have been causing phones in different areas and even random phones (not always your friends in the same area) to lose 3g. This is affecting the Fascinate as well as the ThunderBolt, the PALM PRE and many other verizon 3g and 4g phones.
On the offchance that it is actually a modem problem, simply backup your rom and restore to stock via odin. Test out your 3g and if it is still lost, relax and restore your rom and wait for VZW to get their act together.
You can use the DL09 package in this thread to test the stock radio.

Probably not the correct place to post this, but great thread
yeah, mine literally went out in the last 30 minutes, tried *228 option 1 and after rebooting nothing changed....but now according to the network *228 is "not a valid number"
anyone want to conspire about how this could be a part of implementing the "if you're rooted we will deny you data access" drama that was floating around recently?
Nahh...
Double-checked with a coworker who also has a Fascinate. Bone-stock DL09 and she has no data right now, as well.
I've gone back to DL09 several time running stock, unlock, non-root...and 3G still wacked.
Let it OTA update to ED01 stock (took damn 3 hours) and still wacked
Took it to verizon store to show them a vanilla stock ED01 with 3G issue. They confirmed the hardware was hosed and will be sending me a new one.
I also went to the Verizon store an hour ago to have my phone looked at. The rep called a tech and apparently he said that my phone wasn't receiving any data from their side. So he reset my data and wamo.. pages are loading, the market works, and I'm still on dl09 modem. Going to flash EC01 and see what happens. Definintly something wrong on their side of this.
any links to the data outage information?

I don't think it's the hardware, Verizon is having confirmed data issues. Their 4G network went down earlier today and all devices fell back to 3G, which is now having issues. Mine actually came back a little while ago only to disappear again....it's a flaky network at this point. The guy at the Verizon store doesn't have the ability to assure you your hardware is hosed. That was opinion.
On the phone with a tech right now. Let's see what they can do for me.

no its not. its the same thing. there is no functioning 4g network in the world. the "4g" that the networks are feeding us is just a slightly increase bandwidth aloted to certian phones. 4g is a gigabit network and requires different hardware in the towers. the load of crap that the networks are shoveling as "4g" is basiclly the same as you calling your cable company and increasing your cable modem speed. they are simply increasing the landline bandwidth to allow for increased use.
the problem comes from vzw not properly anticipating bandwidth demands after "4g" was launched.
Honestly I lost my 3G while messing around in the **772. I ended up just calling tech. They had to remove what ever identifys me on there 3g network. Then reactivate.. in seconds my 3g became active.... Though the tech was confused to why I was showing me roaming.... and yes data roaming was unchecked and system select set to home... But never the less I'm good now.....

Try 2 things before you take it to Sprint:
First, update your PRL and Profile (Under Menu-Options-System Updates) and then hard reset the phone. (Turn it off, pull battery, turn it back on) then test your speeds
If that doesn't work:
Try the MSL fix Here
Make sure to write down your defaults, as I hear Sprint doesn't like it when you mess with that stuff, and set it back if it doesn't help.
If all else fails, go to Sprint, whine or something. Maybe they'll give you an AirRave. I'm just not a fan of having other people fix my problems.
I get same DL as you, upload speed is like 18. Only getting 2-3 bars most of the time even though I pulled up the sprint map and there are supposedly towers all over the place here.

The over the air provisioning is not authenticating your 3g (only 1x speeds)
The fastest and easiest fix is to call sprint tech support and have then perform a HLR RELOAD or refresh on your data profile.
From there, you will go to settings then update profile from your evo
Note: if the hrl reload doesn't work, have tech support "REPROVOSION YOUR DATA PROFILE" (exact words)
Trust me. This works
What happened was when you dis the hands free activation, 3g was not authenticated correctly.

I has the same problem all last week, it turns out (God, knows why) but my EVDO setting was CDMA and it had to be set to Automatic - Once I changed this, I was getting much better speeds.
called sprint. they did something and asked me to reset the phone after we hung up. same speeds afterward, 98 down, 70ish up. said they can't do anything else because i am calling from the phone i need service on. i don't have another phone to call from right now so i'll have to call back later and request the reloads mentioned above.
after resetting my phone, i did prl update, profile update and the proxy fix. still getting same speed results.

what speeds are we suppose to be seeing. I'm using speed test.net and my test numbers always change. on 3g i can test it 1 minute apart and get 1.16 Mbps down and then .72 Mbps down......should they be better?

Those are 3g speeds so sounds like authentication for you isn't an issue. Probably just the network where you are.
i would be satisfied with speeds in that range, even if they were sporadic. what i'm getting is .2 mbps down .03 mbps up (or less) consistently. just got .03 down, .11 down and .18 down, on my last three tests.
I am constantly getting 300-400kbps down and 50-150kbps up.
Tried ##786# and performed a data profile reset. Fixed it got great speeds now.

Hey all,
So i've noticed that after flashing to this new leak from stock GB firmware, my 4g data speeds have dropped significantly. Originally after purchasing this phone i was able to achieve 30mbps consistently. Not too long after i flashed the ICS sandwich leak, just couldn't wait for Verizon! now my 4g speeds don't seem to get over 12mbps very often. The same has happened to my upload speeds but i couldn't tell you the numbers without verifying. My question is has anyone else seen this same situation?? I unfortunately cannot be sure this has been caused by the new ICS radios because a lot was changed in between my test times. Besides the ruu flash, many apps were installed, bloatware was frozen with TB, and a extended battery used. I was hoping to find an answer on here before factory restoring my phone to see if an app caused this, or possibly it is a SIM card issue. I contacted verizon (leaving out a few details on what i had done of course) and they were unable to tell me much besides anything over 10mbps was good speed. Any help with getting my data back to 30mbps would be aprreciated!

Any help with getting my data back to 30mbps would be aprreciated!

You were getting 30Mb/s?!?!? How the heck did you ever get that? Out of tens of thousand of speed tests on Speedtest.net marked "Verizon 4G LTE" less than 50 tests in total even break the 20mbps barrier with the average being about 14Mb/s. In the few rare areas I can actually get 4G around here if I can get 10Mb/s I feel very lucky, and even on Wireless-N in my office, standing right next to a rarely used HP Procurve AP fed via Gig-E directly from our head end router with a 100Mb/s fiber direct connection, I can barely get around 30Mb/s then!

I was completely unaware of that. Where do you find this data on the speedtest site? I believe i have seen many people with even greater speeds then me, but i was able to get that on whatever the stock GB firmware and radios shipped with the phone. That was a typical speed pretty much anywhere i was and even when my service was poor (2 or 3 bars), and i can say for the short time i've lost 4g on this phone it was only for a brief period and that was in what pretty much could be considered a bunker (even then i had full 3g service)
. So i guess i am just lucky in a lighter area than you?? But either way i'd like to get back to that speed!
I've pulled close to 40Mb/s in areas around me so it's more then possible... And that was on the latest firmware.
If you're s-off, you can revert back, just take a look at the firmware thread with ICS and GB firmware combos in the Development section. Until you s-off you're stuck with what you have.

Hmm... my bad... seems people are getting 40-50 in certain areas at times, not around here though, too many oil field workers I guess causing excessive data traffic in western ND I guess. Nevermind.

just like my signature below?? lol and that was thee app. they say to use the site itself because the app gives you slower results.
oh and to the OP.. if you notice my sig as well, that is the speed currently even after on the new ICS Leak. so i honestly couldnt help because i dont have that problem unfortunately. hope you do get the issue resolved though.

No over 4G
Speed test results can vary depending on the time of day. If I run a test between 6am and 10pm I average 15-20mbps But if I run a test at 2AM I can hit 45-55mbps.(same average results on GB or ICS Firmware) Just sharing what I have learned and that is speeds will depend on the local network load. The more people using it the slower. The less people using it the faster. (Can anybody truly tell a difference after 15 to 20 mbps? I can't.) So I don't think its the phone or firmware. I also think it's just timing and also the degrade in speed is probably cause people are upgrading to 4G phones wich in turn loads the network taking away bandwith that was previously available. But if you get back to GB Firmware and speeds comeback up, let me know. I would be very curious to find out why and would crack open the radios to see what changed.
When I first got my Rezound in January, I got 28M down/14M up consistently all day long. When I did the OTA update it immediately dropped down to 5-10M down/5M up. That's it. I've tried every newer set of radio/firmware files and it doesnt get better at all.

Really? That's weird. I've always had mine between 8-12 except when I got into big cities it seems to be between 15-30 mbps with the new leak.
