Consistently slow 3G speeds! - HTC EVO 3D

My data speeds using the Speedtest app are between .10-.30 mbps download on 3G consistently.
At the very beginning of the tests it looks like a good download speed, and within a couple of seconds, it always drops down to the .10-.20 range, and stays there until the end of the test.
My wifes Evo 4g in the same spot is getting consistent .90-1.2 mbps.
Updated PRL/Profile/Re-started/Removed battery ect several times - No changes.
Anyone have any ideas? I might be taking it back for another one....
Edit/Delete Message

Was curious about speeds since I've seen a few threads. My 3G speeds are notorious for being ****ty at home. Like what you are getting. Well I think something changed. I just ran 3 tests and well the results are:
1.08
1.26
1.48

I'm actually consistently getting better speeds than I did with my Evo4G.

same here, my old evo got 56k speeds here at the house but the 3d is getting about 250-300k

I had a similar problem and had the dancing signal bars issue where it was all over the place. Then I restarted my phone for the first time after keeping it on and never shutting it off for a full day and it fixed itself.

I have the EXACT issue...
My co worker still has her EVO 4G (what I just came from) and her 3G speeds are ~1000kbps while mine are EXACTLY 125kbps every time!
Something is wrong here. I'm almost certain my speeds is capped for some reason. The *2 people were clueless. I had one tell me "the phone is 3D so it might be downloading 3D everything and that could slow it down".
Totally clueless. They told me I have to take it in to a Sprint store to "run diagnostics". So I'll be doing that. If they can't fix it then I'm switching back to my EVO 4G.

I also only get between .1 - .3 mbps on 3G, and absolutely terrible latency (600-900ms).
I've restarted the phone several times and I test it each day, and I've done it in several different places. 4G seems fine, I consistently get between 4 - 5mbps.
This is my first sprint phone though so I don't have anything to compare it against except my previous verizon phone which got between 1 - 2mbps on 3G.

Hey guys, check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153371
I have done this with success on 3 evo 3D's, sounds hoaky but give it a shot!

Check if your EVDO setting is on Automatic instead of CDMA. I did the Data Profile reset and it sets EVDO to CDMA. Pings were 800-900ms on CDMA. Switched it to Automatic and pings are back in the 90-120ms.

I was getting under 100kbps for the last month...
And then tonight I've hit 2140kbps
Maybe sprint listen to my *****ing and did something or fixed something but i never hit that much with att,Verizon, or tmobile in my area...
I'm a happy camper
(sorry to rub it in your face if it seems that way)

Have sprint reset your data profile. I had the same thing happen to me. Now I get 700 to 1000 kbs...

I had this issue - Ill bet your settings in the EVOD in the data menu are set to CDMA and not Auto - Set them to Auto and it will reboot, you will get better speeds.

[Q] 4g issues (full bars constantly 4g rotating on and off)

Ok so i have an interesting problem verizon cant figure out so maybe someone else here has run into it. Im in an extended 4g network but it is here. I have full service -75 or better db and the 4g symbol just constantly switches on and off (and data does the same) I turned off 4g for now, and Im heading to NYC for work tomorrow night so i can test it there. It could be the towers here, could be my phone, could be the sim just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

yeah my phone does this all the time. I had my phone switched out for an issue and both phones before rooting had 0 4G issues, and consistently did 20-30 down, and now do maybe 5-6 and 4G cuts in and out. I am assuming it is because of the PRL.
what PRL do you have? I have 15008. I was going to check our stock demo thunderbolt at work tomorrow and see what it has as it is still much faster than my phone has been after rooting.

Just went to VZW store with the idea to swap the phone. When i told them about 4G cutting in and out, they said, VZW is working on software update/patch, and it will be send out "soon". So, there is no need to exchange the phone, because before that update, i would have exactly the same problem with the new one. But, when it is going to be pushed out - that they cannot tell.......so, i decide to call Tech Support, and they told me the exact thing........the wait is the killer.....

I have had the same problem with 4g and 3g being inconsistent and constantly swithing back and forth since the network issue last Thursday. It seems to be much better today for some reason that isn't clear to me. I have also noticed that my PRL goes between 1 and 15008 completely at random. My friend just got his t-bolt today and it came with a PRL of 15011 out of the box so I know there is at least one other PRL floating around that may help resolve these issues. All I can really confirm is that I feel your pain and aggravation. I'm going to keep a close eye on my data tomorrow since it magically seemed to work better late today and let you know if I figure anything out as to why mine suddenly seems better. I have to assume that Verizon is sorting out all these issues and is slowly rolling out tower updates but who knows at this point.
Also, I am completely stock and ripinning the stock radio config (no ##778# or other changes).

What about 3G?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
That really isn't that good bro....
Sure you hit just under 10 Mbit ONCE (change speedtest in settings to Mbit, not kbps) but there is ZERO repeatability, most of what you show is 3-4Mbit.
I've actually downloaded a file while tethered and got just over 1.1Mbit download speed (about 1300kbps) and it held that speed for the entire 2 gig d/l.
Umm, it was a linux iso.....yea, that's it.
Remember, there is bits and bytes and a k is 1024, not 1000 and stuff....
My Evo 4g and my Evo3d both did about the same speed and my Tmo Vibrant would run at 7-8 Mbit and NEVER fluctuate from that.
I do agree that the radios are much improved over my EVO OG
I can connect to 4g at my house where the clearwire maps show coverage but my evo or my wifes epic could never connect
My data streams are much more consistent as well.
I am hitting those speeds pretty much every time I speed test at that location- and sometimes faster.
Signal strength is generally improved as well and with the latest update I am a believer in the better wifi signal too
Wimax is really a joke. I mean its better than nothing but still, my friend from Finland got to try out an upcoming wireless carrier. He downloaded off their LTE network for 49 megabits per second. THAT IS FASTER THAN MY CABLE CONNECTION!
I don't think our radios really have an effect on the download speeds, I believe that for now, that what you are seeing is the limitation of our bandwidth.
Lol wimax is not a joke you seem to think the speed of the layer 2 wireless link between the phone and tower is the slow leg
Ever think it the carrier internet pipe an traffic

yeah, here in houston tx im getting 8.5Mbps on 4G and just over 2Mbps on 3G. Im very happy finally seeing the 6-10MBps mark for the 4G. on my EVO, i never used the 4g bc it was a batt killer, slow to connect, and didnt give much more speed. max i ever saw with my EVO was 4-5Mbps in the same location im seeing 8.5 on the Photon. def a great phone!
Its about time sprint offered a worldwide android phone, and ever better yet, its a MOTO. Ive wanted a moto for 10 years now. always used and loved the durability of the MOTO phones with nextel. they can take a beating in the field. Plus MOTO has been in realations with android since the beginning and they got their stuff down. I
Ill fight with any bugs on this phone and super excited to see what the DEVs are able to do with the code. there will and is faster fonest out, but more speed will chew more power. I think with this cpu, and battery life, GSM and CDMA radios, this phone has a LOOONG life and a long way to go. i hope she grows more interest to people and stays around for a long time. so far, im a happy MOPHO user
Im looking forward to traveling. last two months i spent alot of time in japan and Malaysia. def looking forward to buyin a SIM card, slappin it in and having good cell signal instead of climbing a 20+ story building to catch a faint cdma signal from who knows where lol

New PRL 51082

Im still in the original rooted. 5 update and had the 51081 prl. I just updated it and im on 51082 and just wanted to share. I didn't see a thread about it or maybe im just blind. Signal was already really strong and im always full bars! Gotta love the radio in this phone. Anyways, go update your prl in system updates if you haven't already

Any idea what it does? Probably more network shrinkage...
Thanks for the heads up - I personally never saw the significance of the PRL updates (either on the photon and past HTC Touch Pro 2) on Sprint... Of course, nonetheless I do them anyways
How have you noticed reception changes? i.e. any actual "dead spots" that turned out to be otherwise after some PRLs?
My bars are supposedly better. 4 bars out of 6 instead of 1 or 2.

Well, the iPhone launches soon. Remember, it has no 4G so Sprint better get its 3G shiate together or it's gonna get a lot of those fruity devices coming back to the Sprint tree (notice how they recently shortened the remorse period, hmmmm....).
In the past few years 3G service with Sprint has really gone downhill and 4G coverage, particularly in-building is, well, rather pitiful (where it even exists).
I'm gonna have to update mine now. Am as we speak. :]
Edit.
And after it "updated" I'm still on 81. Hm......And after that, did it again, and I'm at 82. Sweet. :]

"-54 dBm 0 asu" here. settings > about phone > status
Thank you for posting this!
Mine is at -89 dBm 0 asu I have full bars an fast 3g 1.5 mb download.
When I had the PRL 51081 a used to have full bars most of the time but when I updated to 51082 my bars when down in most places and my 3g was slower, I installed PRL 11115, a Business only PRL, and I went back with full bars and better 3g speeds plus when I force roam with verizon I have 3G. Now this mopho rocks!
Business prl? Are business prl's "better" than the standard user issue?
edit: found out the difference is that business prl allows 3g roaming in limited areas that the standard prls do not.
Yes, the business prl lets you use the verizon's 3G when you are roaming and in some areas I see my calls go through a lot faster, that is why is only for business.
In my case, here in Florida, I have 3G all over with verizon and in most of the times my download speed is 1.5 MB/s.

verizon governing 4g?

I got a text from Verizon this morning I was at 75% of my monthly allowed data. Ever since then my 4g has only been getting about .5gbs download speed. They fix network issues pretty quick here so I don't think it's that. Do you think they are governing my speed down?
I don't know, I'm no where near my cap and just tested my 4G speed and was only getting 0.17M download. Complete garbage.
I haven't really tested it since the OTA updated the radio, possible that messed it up?

That's just Verizon 4G IMO. Our LTE here is complete garbage. Down all the time, constant drops, and the 4G just stops in the middle of downloading or browsing and pauses with no activity. I hate LTE.
I think something might be going on with Verizon. I'm on an unlimited plan and still have only hit about 5gb so far this month anyway, but for some reason today I have had horrible 4g speeds. I can't even listen to Google Music right now because it just keeps stopping to buffer.
It's probably just the 4G in your area man. Some people get great speeds while others get complete garbage. Hopefully in time they will improve their standard of 4G service for all.
I was getting about 40gbs now I'm down to about. 2 rediculous

My 4G has been excellent in the past. I've gotten as high as 28M down and 14M up. But I haven't ran any speed test since before the OTA update till today. Today I only got 0.17M down. I'll keep an eye on it and see how it does in the next few days.

Also, before the OTA my wifi at home would do 15M down, which is what my cable speed is. Now it won't do over 5M down, while my laptop does the full 15M. I think the new radio update is cutting the speed.

Verizon having problems with 4g then I guess, having very slow/crawling 4g speeds

I'm under the impression that when you get throttled, it's only if the tower you are on is under heavy load. Also, I'm sure they are not going to throttle you until you get into the top percentage of data users, and your on an unlimited plan. Att throttles there heavy users all the time, Verizon only when you are on a tower running close to capacity. This is all just what my understanding is, not an actual fact.
possibly throttling for me as well, I was at 20gigs
I dropped LTE briefly today in Michigan.
Still getting 30mbs down and at 17gbs used so far on unlimited. Netflix and Rom downloads to get me through the school day
there is no throttle if you are on a tiered data plan. however if you are on an unlimited, while it has not been done yet... VZW does have the right to slow you or whomever to a slower share of speed if the tower/network path is overcrowded. However, we are no where near capacity anywhere. capacity isn't the issue, it is just the coverage isnt as strong yet since the primary goal is full coverage of 3g footprint, then making signal stronger, overlapping etc...
I'm on unlimited and I am currently at 11gb data used with couple days left and just tested speed and have 15.5 up 11.6 down. I think it depends how much is being pulled from the tower at any given time.

How can I get Sprint to respond to this slow data?

I've been calling every day, every day they tell me no data outages in my area. Have another Sprint user in my building getting same speeds. I've resorted to installing a 3G roaming PRL because they simple won't do anything about it. Before 9/4 the data was fine, slow at times, but I could at least stream Pandora, etc...

Well you could hold your breath or move to city with lte... Jk but yeah I feel ya on the slow data.

Is it common that when the roll out vision data speeds go to crap before they get better? It's funny as it only seems to be in this 2 mile range around my work. By my house, I'm getting 3G speeds above 1400kbps (which I've never got before). I've told Sprint that, told them that I've updated my profile, basically told them everything and that I just want them to tell an engineer despite what their system shows, that their is slow data in this address range... Still nothing.
Guess I'll just get my contract terminated for roaming...

I have read that speeds can be affected during the switch over. In my personal experience, it also depends on geographic location. I live in Lake Worth FL, I get 2mb down and almost 900kb up from my house on 3g. Now, I work in North Miami Beach, I'm lucky if I get 100kb down and 3 kb up down here, even on 5 bars. This is even before the LTE rollout. Just because you have a good signal, doesn't mean your data will be fast. I think some areas may be over subscribed, they just don't have the bandwidth available for all their devices in some areas. Hopefully this will get better as they rollout LTE in my area.
If they are upgrading to vision it would be more likely that your speeds would fluctuate rather then stay at a constant low. They may be repairing towers in that area and pushing the load onto remaining towers. That essentially cripples available bandwidth. Had to put up with a similar issue for almost 3 straight months. They should tell you if there are any repairs or improvements being done. Have you tried having your call escalated?

+1 on this. That was going to be my recommendation as well.
CR will probably credit you which looks like you are entitled with the crappy service. And yes, data gets worse during NV upgrades, especially when they are working on the backhaul to the towers. It gets worse before it gets better then you will know its almost time to light up LTE. in short, nothing much more you can do other than leave Sprint but I'm thinking it will be regretted in the end.

Uh, fix it. No one should have data this slow consistently. Every single second. I understand periods of slowness, but this is absurd.
And, it looks like they fixed it last night... Back to normal 400-600kbps.
I've had data that slow at home for close to 15 months, all I got was an Airave (sounds like a motto on a t-shirt).

lol there are places that have had data that slow for 2+ years now with no fixes from sprint.
Get an Airave!, I just moved to a remote area of Hawaii, no data and 1bar at best. Two days after calling for an airave I recieved it. Now 5bars and full 3g. Best part is its free!
