Did anybody else experience increased 3g speeds as of today??
I went from 50-100kb to 700kb+ today. I was like "wuuhhh"
Sprint got their act together for the release of the Galaxy Nexus today.
I am in South Florida BTW.

I've noticed my 3g speeds have been great lately. I'm getting about 1.5-2mbps all the time now.

Check out the website www.s4gru.com full of hardcore engineer types talking about Sprint network updates. Really great info there. Sprint Network Vision will improve 3g speeds on existing phones as well as adding 4g lte for next-gen phones

All I can say is wow, its like the revival of sprint up in here. My 3g is killing it all over overnight.

Ive still got .56 Mbits/sec which is not very fast... 70 KB/sec
My wife is in chicago still and she said her speeds went extra crappy so I imagine there rolling out the changes in phases.

NO. Sprint data sucked before and sucks now. I wish the hell I hadn't renewed. What good is unlimited data when it's nearly unusable because it's so dang slow.

Wow! After what seemed like two weeks of worse than dial-up speed, I just ran a test (same time in the evening as the abysmal speeds) and I am back up to pre-iphone speeds, avg around 1.2-1.6 Mbps. SE NC here.
3G speeds Chicago. Took only prl update NOT software update and am experiencing actual USABLE 3G speeds!,very exciting stuff just hit 2.1 mgbs down on speedtest. Net app. PRevious best prob around 1.5 but that was off peak. Anyone else in chi or burbs seeing same?

Actually yes. I'm in the southwestern burbs.

ive noticed this also
I'm in chicago over by elston and lawrence, and my speed tests just got me 500kbps down, 60kbps up. This is pathetic 3g coverage, and its with full bars and its almost 11pm at night.
I'm 20 miles west of clevland and speeds here seemed to be a lot better here also.. will check when im downtown tomorrow
I think this has less to do with PRL updates and more to do with NV. I experienced this same thing earlier this week. The increased speeds have gone since then. I also took the new PRL but am getting the speeds I normally get. I am getting increased upload speeds with the new radio, however.

im out of town in vegas at the moment and doesn't matter how many updates you get your gonna get pounded (screwed) when it comes to 3g when on the strip so when im back in lemont (little south west of chicago) ill do some tests. i averaged 1.1mbps at my house and crap everywhere else so hopefully this update fixes everywhere else thats not my house haha
I live in Plainfield and have absolutely horrible 3G. (just started a new 2year about 5 days ago) but to my understanding theyre implementing 4g LTE int othe towers and upgrading the 3g network aswell.
No wonder sprint has unlimited data, their network is crap.

I hear you and that is completely true now. Ironically two years ago on my og EVo at the M. Bay events center( I was at a conference with a workgroup) I was the ONLY one of us to get great download speeds (or even a stable connection actually -Nada on vzn, tmo, att). Now, I maybe it was tower placement, but Compare that to what you are experiencing now, but and I experienced while there in May. W.T. F. H a p p e n e d I just don't get it?

Hey I do too, how's it going neighbor?
I have decent 3g, as shown above, at least since the PRL update. Haven't done the OTA yet. I'm near downtown Plainfield though, close to where the YWCA is (and that middle school) by Wallin. Are you on the southern side?

Hey neighbor! Im by catonfarm and countyline road. Close to Plainfield South High School.
I have noticed better speeds and connectivity since the PRL update.
im still nervous about doing the other update
Anyone in the Northwest Suburbs experiencing issues with service? I can make calls, but only receive calls when I'm talking on the phone already. I'm also having problems receiving text messages. I will get them about 45 minutes late. Was wondering if it was my phone or an EVO issue. I didn't have any problems with my original EVO.
Also, tried to update prl, profile, the works.
In the downers grove area, close to Lombard.

Oh you're over by that CVS there... I'm actually heading there in a minute, haha. I haven't S-off'd my phone, due to the risk of soft-brick, and now it looks like I have to for the OTA, which is irritating. I'll admit, I'm nervous about this too. I just want kernel source to allow devs to get CM9 or AOKP going so I don't have to worry about any of this business.

I have the same issue, and can even reproduce the behavior by calling my phone from my wife's. 9 out of 10 times it misses the call at my house. Strangely enough, if I toggle GPS on, I consistnently get 8 out of 10 calls... that's without an active lock too. Very strange to say the least.
I've noticed huge improvements! When I'm at the gym tomorrow I'm going to try facebook out cause whenever I tried before it would take forever to load. I just can't wait for lte to go live for us in the suburbs.

My area just got 4G activated today, and I have to say it's quite nice 11mbps down and 7mbps up while I was driving to Starbucks this morning. :good:
congratulation!
In the future, at least pull over first before testing 4g speeds again.

I remember when I got it, it was odd since I checked verizon news updates daily... My area was listed in a press release a few days earlier and I missed it.
Last night I got 35mbps down... With 54ms ping.
I got it back home earlier this year... Stoopit ghetto hillbilly college town I'm in now doesn't have lte. Lame. And we were supposed to have it last year... Maybe by the end of this year
I live in a stupid ghetto hillbilly college town, and just got it.. Even get it 8 miles out of town in the country. Now I know what the fuss is about.....

I got it on the 19th too, but just like the rest of the country it drops in and out every few minutes uncontrollably.
THATS AWESOME!
sadly for me though, i only live 30 miles away from a major City (San Antonio) in Texas. i Live in Floresville or Wilson County, There is Already AT&T 4G service here, Sprint here is pretty good and we Just recently got a Verizon Wireless store here but have always had their service here since the dialup days. i have seen plenty of Verizon service Vans on my drive around town but we still have no 4G. but when im in S.A my speeds reach at Least.. well you can see in my Sig lol
and my HomeNetwork is the fastest net they have down here. at its peak it'll reach 1 megabyte/sec
OH and BTW, T-Mobile here SUUUUUX. at its peak it'll reach 0.04 Mbp's/sec.
lol Random thought here: i remember when we used to think 3G was the fastest and now With 4G LTE we're like HAAA 3G is Slowwww. but then i think the same thing is gonna happen again in the future when 5G is here lol
Don't get it at home, but I get it at college. It certainly is nice, but even at college I don't really use it because the campus is blanketed in 100mbps WiFi.
I called sprint to complain about network issues and was told that they are upgrading the towers. He said it should be done on Oct 17th. So I guess that confirms it for me

What network issues? The network has been behaving itself as of late. Then again I'm over by 30 Rock so we get decent connectivity/bandwidth.

Sometimes companies tell you what you want to hear to silence you. Are they working on towers? Yes. Will it roll out in October for NYC? Probably not.
Just like my ISP telling me I'm having slow speeds because of a "regional Internet problem" with THE internet. Yeah right. -_-

Yup. Though with the WIMAX rollout certain sections of Jersey got it first. Go figure. To the gentleman from Boston. This is a NYC thread we really don't care about Boston (unless the Red Sox lose a game).

DFW
With the launch of LTE, DFW was on the list of having LTE. Phone never connected to LTE. After serveral phone calls, I was told the same thing, that the networks where being upgraded and scheduled to be completed in December. I see LTE every now and then now, but not long enough to get any use out of it. Speed Test showed it to be slower than 3G when I was able to connect. I got credit for 4 months (AUG -NOV) until LTE is fully up and running.

how do you know that it will be live in 2 weeks?
If Sprint gave you an exact date, and especially from a representative over the phone, they're definitely lying to you.
While I seriously doubt that's the date, I sure hope it is. I am sick of slower than dialup speeds on 3G and constant weak signal.
NYC and several other major cities have been announced to go live within the next several months, which means NYC can get it earlier than scheduled.....Finally able to use phone to the fullest
Has anyone in the NYC area gotten LTE signals yet? Wonder if they will test it before going live.

For those of you in Florida and having no data service. Sprint has confirm that they are waiting for the info to what to come. Something is happening in Florida that they can't explain.
So no need to call Sprint with complaints people. Get on WiFi!
They have advice me they will call me with details of this issue.
Really Great customer service!
But if this keeps up with the Internet connections I will have to change provider service.
I have 4 more days to decide, before the 15 days ends. I will really miss this phone
though..

Naples here. I almost stay at 200-300kbps at best. Maybe MAYBE get 1000kbps at like 3am. I get 1x here and then. I keep telling myself that it's the LTE work that makes it like this.
And I thought it was my phone when it happened LOL
This morning at 5:29 a.m. my data just stopped working even though it did show I had a 3g connection.
Lakeland FL.
I clocked in to work at 6:00 a.m. worked 2 hours then took a cig. break and it was finally working again though the speeds were slow when usually @ work I've been getting 1700kbps to 2050Kbps (yeah I know hard to believe) but it seems that they already upgraded that tower since a couple of months ago cause before I used to get 100's 300's , I get the usual 300kbps at home (which I don't really care cause Wi-fi takes over)
Thanks everybody for your input! Seems like we are good to go..Let's hope to see something real good to come in Oct-November zone!
Jax FL 3g seems fine. slow speeds on highway but more speeds increase in crouded areas.
