Hi folks. My Evo 3d is tremendously slow compared to my old Evo 4g. According to my latest speed test I pinged 920 Ms, download 94 KBPS, and upload 142 KBPS. Websites take forever to load. Do I have a bad phone, or is this a larger problem that Sprint knows about?
Thanks!

Can anyone who has the phone with 4G coverage post their results? If possible, include an estimate of what your evo 4g was getting before in your area.
Thanks!
Here is a result from inside my house. I am consistently getting between 7-8 Mbs down. I didn't have the EVO or even a 4G phone before, so I don't have any comparisons.
Edit: It won't me post links/pictures yet, so it 7.86 Mbs down and 1.50 Mbs up.
No images taken, but the difference is pretty minimal to me....
My evo required the rtsp proxies to be set to 0.0.0.0 to get full speeds (6-10 mbps in atlanta ga). But the EVO3D seems to be getting the same speeds even though the proxies are still set at the factory ones.

I'm in North Jersey (near NYC)
hope more results are posted today after everyone has a chance to play with their phones
Boston 7679kbps down; 1453kbps up, with the og Evo I remember getting like 6 down and around 1000 up
i got 9700 d/l
and 1000 u/l
nashville, tn
I have no coverage at home and it connects but no bars at work. I haven't been to school where I have full coverage since I got it.
At work where it connects but no bars I get 2-2.5 down, on the Evo I got 1-1.5. Not much changed except the phone.
i try it in a bit when im at best buy here in my house my evo use to get 1 bar of 4g that was good enough for 4-5mb down and 700k up. the 3d wont even pick up 4g in the house.
I don't have 4G in my area yet (Milwaukee, WI) but i want to comment on overall radio performance. Cell & Wifi signal strength is noticibly better then the OG Evo. I have obersed better speeds overall and my Wifi signal is ALOT better. I'm thinking that with a bigger battery, HTC might have increased power to the radios for better performance or they just finally got the hang of the this SOC.
Jacksonville, FL
Here in Jacksonville FL over the past few days:
Downtown (San Marco area) average 8-9 down -- 1 up
Avondale/Riverside: 5.5-9.25 down -- 800-1 up
I got the 5.5 on a good signal but during a peak time I guess at 8pm
Much better then some of the worthless / expensive ISP's here.

Guys, do you think I should call Sprint?
My Speed Test result for 3 bars/MAX bars of 4G:
Download: 2.40 Mbps
Upload: 1.41 Mbps
Ping: 121 ms
My co workers Speed Test result from his OG EVO with 2 4G bars:
Download: 7.60 Mbps
Upload: 1.39 Mbps
Ping: 245 ms
He is banking much higher speeds, what gives?!?
try a different server, the 'closest' server is not always the best...
washington dc seems to be a very good one for me.

Yeah, that did it.
Weird though, I am in Herndon, VA using a Herndon Server....terrible results...I now just changed to Reston, VA (which is farther) and I got 5.39/0.53
Guess closest isn't always better...heh
I can't even get 4G in my home/neighborhood and I live just down the road from Sprint's world headquarters. I called and got the standard line about they are working on improving connectivity. I did hear from a friend that works at Sprint (actually Ericcson) that he attended a presentation recently on Sprint's network changes that are happening. They are going to be operating on multiple bands and many upgrades to their towers over the next year to two. He made it sound impressive. Anyway, with a full 4G signal, I'm only getting about 3mb/1mb consistently.

I saw spike on my 3g speed today on my evo 3d but i am still going back corporate sprintpcs.
My speeds were very very poor the first couple of days. Downloading a small app in the marketplace would could take 10 minutes. It would have moments where it would just sit there with no change in percentage or bits downloaded already. Its been going much faster now. Speed tests over the past couple of days did not exceed 5kB/s up or down. Now they exceed 50kB/s. Have gotten up to around 95kB/s yesterday and today. Perhaps the amount of OTA updates had the network all slow like.
Currently getting 326/168 kbps on 3G
Is this good?
After trashing the speeds on this device the Sprint gods have responded. Both 3g and 4g have dramatically improved in the last 24 hours.
I just changed servers and got 720 down...not too bad

Just reached 1280 while sitting in the restroom, lol
Just got 1.78 Mbps down and 0.37 Up
Good enough for me.
Picking this phone up today, curious; what are people getting for upload speeds on HSPA? Is AT&T still capping ~300kb?
Use the search ...

I'm usually 3-5mb down and 1mb up...

I just ran a few Speedtests (nearest server is 100 k/m). I got 1.8 Mb download and .88 Mb upload on AT&T. Ya, I'm not all that happy either.
I get about 3-5 down and 1.4-2.0 up
i average 4-5mb down, and .8-1.2mb up. louisville KY

I average 3.5 down and 1.2 up and I live in a major metro area, Houston. Compare to 3gs, 1.2d & .4u; and Inspire "4g", 1.8d & .7u.
The Atrix is much better and when compared to an aggregate of my friends EVO on Sprint's WiMax I'm just 500kb download below him for an average.
Thanks for all your replies...my only other question, does the stock modem cap or does it get higher upload speeds than the "300 kb/s cap"?
I have had the phone for weeks and The 4g or h+ speeds are slow less than 1mbs down And no more than 800k up. Is this how fast At&t's 4g is or not?
P.S This is my first smart phone and It's the best phone I have ever seen. thank you
My 3g seems to be working fine... I dunno abt at&t but.... talking about mbps with my connection im getting good speeds more than 3mbps in general that equivalent to abt excess of 300 kBps download speed.
