It's been weird for me too, around 11 or 12 I haven't been able to load any Google search pages, but other web pages load just fine
Upload and download bar flashes on and off and cuts connection when browsing the web, sometimes page won't load at all.
I'm also in la.

Today is IPv6 test day, the major websites, i.e. google, are testing IPv6 protocols until around 8 pm today. Phones dont seem to play very nice with IP6 yet.

Ah, that makes sense.

same here. Google still isn't loading even though the IPv6 trail run is over :/

It seems like only a few people are having this problem.
I checked out the ipv6 Google test page, it says that my connection isn't ready for IPv6 (4g), when tested on 3g it says no problems detected. This seems pretty permanent to me, so I'm going to best buy today to see if any other 4g devices on Verizon are having the same problem.

same exact thing is happening to me
this blows

I'm from LA (90024) and am having the exact same problem... I noticed it when Google Voice just wasn't working for me at all on 4G (both the application and google.com/voice). When I switch to 3G both load fine...
I tried the ipv6 test and have the same result - failure on 4G LTE and just fine on 3G.
Is this problem just specific to socal?

4G down?

I'm in Atlanta and it seems 4G has been down the last few days. Anyone else notice this or is it my phone? I haven't really changed anything, just installed a few apps.

I'm also in AZ and can confirm i'm only seeing 1X where I normally have strong 4G/3G Signals.
I'm in Connecticut, and seems like I'm having a similar issue. However, I'm rooted, running Gingerbrick radio/ROM, and been changing kernels as Imoseyn puts out new ones, so I was not sure if it was the network, or bugs in the GB software.
No issues in Charlotte. I am currently in the middle of a medical building with no windows and 3 bars signal strength. I just got over 15Mbps down and close to 8Mbps up on Speedtest.net.

In washington dc...i'm getting 3G but not 4G. However I did update the kernal before I went to bed last night so that might be the issue.
EDIT: Rebooted and 4G is back.
Thanks
No 4g where I'm at in cali... But I can say for the past few days, 3g has been slow if at all. Have to do reboot just to get anything and it will say 3g in my phone but no data when I try using my browser and all. (Data turned on)
*WALK in the WORD*
STL here, 4G zone, into and out of 1X off and on all day.
4G was very spotty in Cincinnati this weekend.. seems to have leveled out as of this morning.

Wifi has this weird issue where it wants to scan my home network even though its connected a million times to it. Almost like it forgets lol. I usually have to disable then enable it; not a big deal i guess but still a bug for sure!

Mine does the same but after I wake the phone I have no problems. Maybe a 3 second delay reconnecting.

Release notes would be great. Photon WIFI/VPN is putting out extra packets which are then blocked by some routers. If the wireless router is used as a router and not an AP and IP6 is disabled, the problem seems to be corrected (i.e.: no reconnection failures in over a week when it used to happen every 2/3 days. See motorola photon forum for more details.)
My wifi seems to work pretty good at work and at home. I havent noticed the phone constantly scanning but I havent been looking for it either.
as of today my phone will not connect to wifi at all... release notes and date would be very much appreciated.

Me either always works and works great, also pretty fast as well. My issue is the voice/3G radio locking up and then the phone reboots.
so it seems some are having a WIFI issue and others voice/3G... rather odd thing going on there.

CDMA Data Speeds Tanked After Update

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

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

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...

Can't run Speedtest.net -- "Network communication issues"

So, I'm trying to run the SpeedTest.net application, and when it goes to find the closest server, it keeps saying "Network communications issues." Is anyone else having this problem? I can browse, and everything seems to be working fine. This is the only thing that's not working.
Did you get the new update of the speedtest app?
Sake issue here. Buddy of mine Tampa had the issues last night on WiFi AND 3G but has since been resolved for him. I am having issues on both too. Has not been resolved for me yet. He said that afterwards his speeds climbed to above 2MB on Sprint 3G after it was resolved though.

I have this problem too. I'm not certain if this is the case for you, but it is for me, my 3G service disconnects every minute or so for some reason. Because of that, it is difficult for the speedtest to complete.

3 UK

Hi. Recently I have been experiencing extremely, painfully slow Internet over the last few days on three UK. Normally its fine but the last few weeks it has been really slow. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Its slow at my house where I live but anywhere else and its fine? Any help?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Mines been the same I'm in the north east, it seems to be getting back to normal now though.
The other problem I have is my internet signal usually disappears on a saturday and sunday during the day.
Only help is to contact your network or try a different network sim .

Switching from 02 I've noticed the speeds are slower. Using speed test I'd always be over 1mb with 02 but barely can get half a mb with 3. It doesn't really bothered me though because I only use it for streaming radio and browsing what is very snappy despite the slow connection.
Could you do a speed test using the speed test apply.
I got 102ping. 455kbps down. 587kbps up. Very odd my upload being faster than my download.

I got ping 58 , 13.35 Mbps download and 3.35 Mbps upload in town where my internet works because its not near where I live. And at home I get ping 355, 0.56 Mbps download and 0.33 upload.. In don't get it its just rubbish where I live nowhere else .. And I've tried switching to a different three sim but to no prevail. I now have to use pur home WiFi because 3G is always too slow to load. But seeming as I have a "all you can eat data plan" it seems pointless to use WiFi might as well use 3G since I have it
