download speed horrible on E3d? - HTC EVO 3D

Okay, I just got my 3d and my download speeds are unacceptable. We only have 3g here, but on my EVO 4G I got from 980 to 1250kbps all the time. Now on my new EVO 3d I'm getting 25 - 100 kbps. I've tested over and over using different servers. This US unacceptable. Anyone else having problems? I didn't update the system. I got it from radioshshack. Plus there is debris trapped in between the lcd and the glass. I think I'm going to exchange it Tom. Other than that I love the phone.

My download speeds have also increased on the 3D compared to the EVO?

OP, have you done the updates?

My dl speeds are also ALOT better on the 3D then the OG Evo

no, but im going to do the updates now. I cant find a good enough reason not to.
I cant watch youtube, I cant even really surf the net. Its going back if the updates dont fix this problem. screen has a yellow/green tint to it too.

As someone linked to, I posted the same issue.
My average is about 30k download, but last night around midnight it jumped to 1700 down, which would be great. I have been told that the network is getting killed in my area with activations, so I will wait and see if thats the case until next week.
As a side note, I have all updates installed.

I was noticing the same thing. I was averaging ~250kbps on Speedtest App to multiple servers in good 3G coverage. Then I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140870 and did as suggested, now I'm getting ~800kbps!

just got back from exchanging the evo 3d, I showed them the stuff stuck under the glass and they gave me a new sealed evo 3d. This one has no dirt in it and the camera switch feels better. But the data speeds are the same, I'm consistently getting 14 - 30 kbps. I tethered it to my laptop using easytether and get the same. I tested using speedtest.net and speakeasy.net on my laptop. So it must be the network. Ill give them a week or 2 to fix it before I call and complain.
It took 10min to DL the speedtest app! jeez
EDIT:
I just got done with the proxy mod and get a max of 202kbps (and it was only once). still getting consistent average of 35kbps......

prl update?

Man, exact same problem I had - Took around 15 minutes to Download Speedtest. I did the proxy mod today and I am getting 150k at least, I can jump up sometimes but overall Im still around 70k, usually.
I should also mention that my wifes 3D Evo ALSO has the same issue as mine with the speeds, but I didnt do the proxy mod on hers yet - and I wont until I see some speeds in the 800k range for me, at least.

[Q] How much data have you used?

Ever since lauch date, I have seem to be racking up data very quickly..
Already 5.4GB and counting..
At this rate, Im very worried about future capping or throttling..
How much have yall used?
I have used 500 Megs in three days but I have been playing around a lot and have good 4g coverage. On the down side, you can almost see the battery meter drop while downloading.
It's currently Unlimited for now right? asenduk, how long have you had it. That's quite a bit of data man!
Over 10GB so far. I use it as my home ISP and will continue to until they take away free tether. Then I will debate about root/tether.
Thanks to you folks, I will never be in the top 5% that get throttled.
since Thursday last week lol

I am at around 2.5gb. Had the phone since late friday afternoon (5pm).
After using the iphone since te 3g.. this is a nice change. I am liking it alot. Just need more battery life and i am set.
I'm at just over 3GB.
300MB Most according to TrafficStats is from the HTC IME and Touch Input.... like wut?
4G speeds are addicting!
The LTE speeds in NYC are AMAZING!! Even downtown manhattan. I realize the airwaves are pretty clear rigt now... but i hope verizons network dont take such a big hit once it get saturated. ive gone as high as near 18mbps down
lets just hope that iPhone 5 is not LTE
we dont need them clogging up bandwidth lol
Something seems to be way off with the way the data is calculated on LTE.
If you look in the details of your usage on the Verizon website you will see that many of the entries have no actual usage details - only some do and if you sum up all the entries that do show the number of KB used - you will see that it is actually LESS than the number of KB showing on the main my account page.
My data usage patterns have not changed since i switch to VZW last week and yet it seems that i am using 5x more than what i used to use on at&t....it does not make sense at all. i don't tether and don't download anything.
2.4 GB for me
.07 GB for wifes iphone 4. she got hers before me lol.
I use the hotspot for my ipod pandora and usually use phone more than comp or laptop for playing on internet.
1.3 gigs since launch. I haven't really been able to use it much though. And lte here is iffy.

Little over 4 gigs. When you tether and use LTE data goes pretty quick. If they ever do implent 2 gig caps like AT&T this phone will be damn near useless for me.

Here in Cincinnati, I've hit 30mbps a few times. I was getting those speeds at work, so wednesday I was going to take a picture of speedtest if it comes back that high again.
But usually I see speeds of 20mbps down.
I have had the phone since Saturday night, and I am like 2.8GB of data. Helps that I downloaded all the files to root my phone, on my phone, since its like 6X faster than my home internet.
Anyone else try gaming while tethered yet on like an xbox 360 or ps3? My ping is usually low 50s at my house. Might try that out tomorrow, just because I can

3G Speeds, Slower than even Edge?

Ok, so I am convert from AT&T and my iPhone 3gs - One of the first apps I like to run is Speed Test so I can gauge what I should be getting - and on my iPhone I used to get 1300 or so K download, and 175 up.
I have run speedtest a few times today and in 10 tests I pull an average of70kbps download and 283up .... Someone please tell me this isnt normal .... Granted that we have a very cloudy day with rain here in Buffalo, but I cant imagine this is even close to what I should get in DL speeds?
in my office building i only get "yellow" for service and right now im getting 585 dl and 61 ul. outside is even better
4g i get 6703 dl and 1430 ul
much better than the 4g in here btw. i don't think i broke 2000 dl inside here, and my status never went above the grey color
Yeah, something isnt right here - I hate to say it, but I may have to call support....
Is the network really congested in your area? I get speeds like that at Tigers games.

Update your PRL. 01120 Should be good. If you don't get 01120, try updating it like 6 times in a row. Oddly enough, its how I got on 01120, which someone who's confused about who-the-man is, says it's biz only PRL. I'm not biz though, I was just sittin here and kept hitting update and it changed to it. Not sure if there's something in the system that allows it to happen or what.
With 4/6 bars on EVDO I'll get ~1500 down and ~800 up
WiMax 1/3 bars 4500 down and 1400 up (1400 is highest upload pretty much)
WiMax 2/3 = 7000 down
and 3/3 tethered = 13000
I stopped at the store and they said it more than likely all the activations, man where they packed, 3D phones going left and right (and some other models).
Also did the PRL update, didnt seem to fix anything ... Ill give them until Next week for these speed issues.

well coming from at&t 3g to sprint 3g is a 50% reduction in speed on paper. cdma is capped at 3.1mbps while gsm is at 7.2. one reason id switch to a more capable technology were it not for the data caps. but you are right, sprints 3g speeds need to be faster. i for one am dissatisfied with sprints 3g.

I've had 2.4Mb down and 1.1 up on EVDOA. Sadly only recently has the WiMax u/l been lifted to 1.5. 2.4Mb down on a cell phone is quite a bit. Granted it's more in the 1 - 1.5Mb range on average, what do you do besides youtube that you'd need more than that? Tethering? Most websites take longer for the phones to process than it does to download the actual content.
Well, I honestly cannot even stream music with the 60k Im getting. It skips alot.... I also used to do Netflix in my car for lunch (Connected to my LCD Screen). Im not looking for 2Mb or anything close, but I would expect anything around 700kbs to 1.2Mbs or so..

I had the same issue since Wednesday, couldn't get over 120kbps on 3G. Sprint had me redo the activation and it fixed my issues.
You'll need access to the data programming menu, so you have to have your MSL code. Type ##3282# in the dialer, then use your MSL as the password. Go to the data menu and then hit the menu key and click Restore. It'll re-run the activation, update PRL, then update firmware.
Hope it works for others.
3G speeds
I am also getting terrible 3G speeds. Highest I've seen thus far is 130kbps. I had the phone reactivated, restored the data profile and still no luck. I went into the Sprint retail location and they did say that since there has been so many activations and bandwidth usage today, the 3G speeds have been extremely slow. I am expecting these data speeds to rise within the next day or two otherwise its going back...

I am posting from Centreville, VA (Fairfax, Northern Virginia area) and I will add that my 3G speeds are horrid.
With full bars the Spider Man game stopped at like 15% download progress and kept failing....I certainly hope this is because of activations or else I will be going back to my Samsung Galaxy S 4G from T-Mobile where I get 4G signal everywhere I go....unlike Sprint.
Sprint isnt exactly known for its fast data speeds. You guys are more than likely in an area with slower speeds, like myself.
I highly doubt that the data speeds are as slow as they have been within the past 24 hours. If that was the case, no one would have sprint....I am confident it will pick up.
I am also getting really slow speeds. This is my first time with Sprint, so I'm not sure if this is the norm.
Anyone, previously on Sprint, noticing slower speeds after getting 3vo?

slower then edge speeds? lol .. . my sister has the Evo and she gets about 1.2 mb at my house, i get between 3kbps-124kbps
I went to the Sprint store where I bought the phone and I was told phone data is not like Comcast, and that it can be spotty and sometimes give you 3kbps because it is not Comcast, and I'm welcomed to return the phone if I'd like.
Coming from verizon, in the new hampshire area. My service on sprint has been sub par with terrible download speeds. I hope things improve, because I really do like the phone.

3G performance vastly improved on EVO 3D - 7/1/11

Can anyone get through a YouTube with out it stopping on 3G. This is hoorible. My EVO 4G has full bars and not a single hiccup. Is it just me? I took the OTA, not sure if that makes a difference, but I am going back right now and getting another one. This time I am not taking the OTA as I have seen what Green Hornet looks like. Data sucks ass on this phone!

This is the answer I was given from sprint when I called.
My 3G is double what my Evo 4G was giving me...maybe you just have a bunch of new users in your area,I'm in Apopka FL...I can actually get a 4G signal in my home now too
Sent from that EVO3D Thingy...I need an asprin.
Last year when the Evo4G was released, within a week I watched my 3G speeds steadily drop from about 1mpbs+ down to 50-400 kbps (depending on time of day). They never recovered. Apparently all those new Evo's overloaded their network. History is probably repeating itself.
Same here I came from tmobile and 3g was so fast YouTube video would play in seconds. But on the evo 3d take time and when it plays it stop like few second later. I live in Tampa Florida.

I was just about to suggest that, call CC and get your MSL, then remove the proxies in the. ##8232# advanced settings. You will see a significant increase in data speed.
i've been getting around 700-800kbps... i used to get 1000kbps on evo 4g. Sprint is a mess right now in FL as far as data goes. Just last month they had a huge outage in my area and i was getting just 30kbps for three days. Drove me insane. I've been happy with Sprint for years, but lately I've been haring many complaints about data speeds from people... If the ATT-Tmo deal goes down, I think Sprint will be finished.
I'm lucky to see 300 Kb.

With this evo 3d i cant seem to get a decent data speed during the day time, at night i can get like 500kbs and during the day nothing over 150kb takes forever to download small files from market, i was a mile from the tower today and i still only had like 37% signal strength and was connected at 1x speed, ive tried the data reset. Ive tried calling sprint and htc and no one seems to know of the issue, i dunno if i should keep this phone and hope for a fix or take it back, im dropping calls and cant hear people at home now. im looking for you all to shed some light on this situation

But still really bad..I have a tp2 as well and it slowed down a bunch around the beginning of the year as well...Sprint offered an airrave but I don't have cable or dsl so I'm stuck...if you got cable ask retentions for one...they really tried to help me..YMMV..but worth a shot...oddly enough I got a tower Sprint tower at the end of my property, go figure..

I'm starting to wonder if there isn't a bad batch of phones out there. A lot of people are reporting problems like this. I got two phones on the same day. One of them is fine, the other is crazy slow on the data connection. I'm going to go through re-provisioning and everything, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up replacing it. Which sucks because I put a screen protector on it.
Yea i think its a combination of both..I had an e3d that got great reception but blown earpiece..replaced it and now speeds have dropped significantly..question is can it be fixed with an ota
Thats what im wondering wether i should replace it or hope for an update

guys, your phone is working just fine. Its the network thats having the issues. you may have noticed that it got worse when you got your new phone cause a lot of people were buying the evo3d and it slowed down the network. Sprint has major issues with congestion in some areas right now. I know michigan is really bad right now.

Not necessarily true. I just did a speed test on both of my Evo 3D's at the same time sitting right next to each other. One phone got a ping of 1346ms and the other got a ping of 238ms. There is clearly something wrong with the first phone. It's noticeably slower when doing any task that uses the data connection.
horrible speeds here. just did a speed test, 51kb down, 6kb up. typical speeds for me since getting the phone. i have one tower east of me, one tower west, both within a mile.
Look to see if your evdo is set to cdma only... Changing mine to auto has made my data speeds normal again

My 3d sucked and would always get high ping/low data (under 100kbps). I called there was no outage and they said to take my phone in... I never did due to the "service center" is about 120miles away but they gave a month of free service (130 dollars)
Because I've had a nexus s 4g,EVO 4G, and now a EVO 3d all with the same problem...
About a week ago I ran a speed test and i hit 2.1mbps download... And have been getting great data speed ever since...
I dunno what happened I think it was just the network but even during "peak hours". I still get 1600kbps so I guess it worked its self out :/

I took mine to the store today, they ran diagnostics for an hour and a half....of course, runs okay in the store because of the great reception, but they did notice that it would fluctuate greatly. They said to keep an eye on it, may have to return it to the place where I got it and exchange. This has been very frustrating. I go to hit the Internet and nothing, keep getting error code 68 often. They better fix their network issues soon (if that's what it is) before I go back to the EVO 4G.
It's def a network issue. I congestion issues. It drags during peak hours and runs ok at night. I ran speed tests on multiple phones all were awful. EVO, epic, and 3D. Plus sms was down for a few hours. Def network issues!

They said to keep an eye on it, may have to return it to the place where I got it and exchange. This has been very frustrating. I go to hit the Internet and nothing, keep getting error code 68 often. They better fix their network issues soon (if that's what it is) before I go back to the EVO 4G.

Sprint stores suck..before I returned my first e3d I called cs and they made a service ticket and sent me to a Sprint store .they told me where to go..anyways I get there and they act like there are aggravated that Sprint cs sent me there and said they have nothing to do with Sprint..looked like a Sprint store to me..anyways they tell me they can't run diagnostics because there is no equipment to do so yet..and since I was in my thirty day Window they wouldn't touch it..kinda sucked because the Phone was great besides the service..which maybe could of Been fixed If they would of tried..anyways returned it, got one with a blown speaker ..another return..Now I got another one with a seemingly weak radio..better than the first one at least..but not even closeto the one with the blown speaker....thank god for my airwave. I get 1.5 mb/s with that at least
This is probably posted in this thread or some other thread, but when I got my phone and activated it, I had Sprint do a data refresh/reset...whatever the hell they call it and I updated my PRL and what-not. I have not had any data issues beyond normal.
Although for the life of me I can't seem to get a 4G connection, but that could just be the area I'm in. It's very spotty here in Apple Valley.
And no...no connection to Cupertino...the city is really called Apple Valley. There's one in California too.

.10 download + 1000 ping?

Every once and a while I'll check my speed test app to see what im getting for 3G download speed. Lately ive been getting over 1000 ping and like .1 mbps download. I went in and did a data profile reset and that fixed the problem. This has happened to me multiple times over the past couple of weeks.
Has this happened to anyone else? And if so, are devs going to fix this in their roms when the bootloader is unlocked?
Well, it's Sprint, so that's normal 3G speeds...
Move along folks, nothing to see here.
my 3g used to be fire!!! now it seems as if everybody has joined sprint and the network is hella saturated!!!!!!!

Depends on your location. If you check the Sprint forums, there are tons of people complaining about data speeds all over the country. There's certain areas in the Bronx where I have full 4G and only getting 0.50mbps down...it's crazy!
I would say do a ##3282# and make sure your EVDO is set to auto not CDMA. Menu>commit changes & reboot. Update PRL then profile. I guess you've done that?
i was told that for the last month and a half it was because of thunderstorms. i asked him since there are just a few towers between the 44 miles i drive to work, how did all those storms only hit sprint's antennae and not verizon's that are on the same towers?
i talked to a gm at the sprint store last night and he said they're having major data issues and there's no time frame of when they'll ever be fixed. just outside that sprint store i have full 5 bars on 3g and only get 100kb/s. i made sure i was outside of the sprint store's range just in case they had a 3g airave.
they did fix the slow data in my city and most of the areas where i drive to work. now min of 600Kb/s and up to 1.8Mb/s
I find Sprint's network getting worse and worse...they're loading it up with new customers enticed by high end smartphones, but they're not boosting the capacity to match their growth. What scares me is, how much lower is it going to go? :/
Around here I get about 75-200kbps down. It can go to less than 40kbps during lunchtime.

they will let it go pretty far. currently the tower that services my house will be so overloaded during the evening hours that speeds are 0-5k. last night between 7-11pm 3g was unuseable and 4g was zooming at 20k.
ive had dates of april 30th, may 30th, june 30th, and now july 30th as dates when the towers were to be upgraded. i honestly think they just throw dates around so they can get you off the phone.
Same here. During peak hours data is unusable without a wifi connection. I called so many times to put service tickets on the local towers. It's so fustrating. Everytime I call I'm on the phone for like 40mins tell them it's not my phone, it's a network issue. They just don't get it. BTW does anyone have the number for advanced sprint tech support? I'm going to keep calling until they fix the issue.
This is what bugs me so much paying the $10 Premium data Fee. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind paying the fee if I actually get premium data, but 100kbs down is not premium data. Something has to be done. What the hell are theying doing with that fee? They certainly aren't putting it back into their network. I hope Sprint doesn't get the Iphone because it will only get worse.
You're not in 3G. Your in 1x when you get those speeds. The Display will always say 3G even when switch to 1x.
Once rooted, that can be fixed to reflect what you are really on.
Welcome to sprint. Where are you from?

This what I was going to say. LOL
Welcome to Sprint the Nation Wide slowest 3G available.
Welcome to Sprint-The (hope you dont need to download that)Now Network
First, try this:
http://bit.ly/qsq8Tn
[MOD] Data Latency (Slow Data) Fix
And second, it is not unusual. I have tried to play online games(BFBC2 etc.) via Wi-Fi hotspot. With poor success. Reasons for this is poor connection(long range to Cell-towers) network overcapacity etc. etc.
Shutting phone's Ciphering should raise U/D speed as above thread say, but I guess that there is not any mindblowing way to fix it. Updating radios would help but.

I said it once and I'll say it again Location, Location, Location. I am Cali bay area(Currently in Lafayette, CA) and my Evo 4G just ran 962k down and 656k up 187 ping. Evo 3d same time test ran 164 ping 1038k down and 609k up. Now at my house in El Sobrante, CA about 15 minutes away I would not come close to touching that speed. Usually around 50k or worse. One thing is I never rely on 3g to do anything for me. I have wifi at home and work and at times 4g. If I am in 3g only location I do not expect to get anything important done.
Edit: Keep in mind I also did the speed fix on both phones. Have to have msl for that.
Here are a couple images for you one is my Verizon 3G Xoom and the other my EVO 3D. Lets face it Sprint speed sucks.
Those with poor eyes site the Xoom says:
Down:
1303.7
1331.6
Up
1455.7
1863.5
Im gonna guess the people that get these good speeds are in sparse areas or areas with few sprint customers. I've been complaining about Sprint speeds since October of last year and its only getting worse and worse. I can remember constant speeds of 1.2-1.8 megs down and now im doing good just to get 250kb/s. The 4G has fallen off quite a bit too.

Same here and yes on the lack of sprint customers in some areas. I was on the very poor side of town earlier this week. I was getting 1.3-1.9mb down on 3g lol.

Actually I'm not 1x. I have a few programs to tell me what network I'm on and I'm definetly getting those speeds on EVDO Rev A. You can use Battery Monitor and go to "Tests" and it will tell you what network you are using or you can use Open Signal and go to maps and it will also tell you. I'm definetly getting these speeds on 3G (EVDO Rev A) Not 1x!
