Did anyone have problem when streaming live video on the stock browser using mobile 3G connection? It's perfectly fine when using wifi. When I use mobile 3G, it won't load anything
Most likely you have a crappy 3g signal.
I have a wifi only Tab but i do tether to my eVo4g using its 3g just about everyday and even if I get full bars on my eVo streaming anything in any browser it buffers alot.
Just cause you have full bars doesn't always mean your getting a good solid signal.

I have been noticing that the WiFi Reception is wayy better than any other phone.
I'm getting strong signals in places were the signal went away in my home using the OG EVO, Epic 4g or the Hero.

Same. Was going to post this as well.
I'm coming from the moment, but yesterday I Picked up Wifi in a spot I knew it existed, but never could get my phone find it. I just thought it was HTC standard. VERY impressed. Gotta love when speed test gets your phone up to 27MB/s via wifi.
Very true
Bussin Caps from my 3D shooter
Just did speedtest on old and new Evo.
4g ping in 91 ms, download .5 mbps, upload .99 mbps.
3d ping 18 ms, dl 18.14 mbps, ul 3.27.
That is amazing.
Same here. I am getting avg. of 1mb faster on 3g and 3-4mbs FASTER on WiFi in my room
4g seems the same

Way better then the wifi on the Palm Pre (v1). I'm able to walk about 15 foot or so farther and remain connected to the home WLAN.
I'm having all sorts of issues with WiFi. it seems to be broadcast storming my network when requesting a DHCP address. The sprint store told me the only way to connect it to wifi was to put it airplane mode, then enable wifi. Well that didn't work for me.
Any suggestions would help.

"Best wi-fi performance"
I was getting terrible wi-fi reception at home and at work (very short range, dropped connections), then I found an option buried in the wi-fi "advanced" settings called "best wi-fi performance" which warns that it "may consume more power." Turned it on and immediately got a full-strength signal. First speed test from my office, where I had previously been unable to connect at all, got 16278kbps down and 4110kbps up. Guess I'll keep that option checked.
16129 down and 3655 up using my WFI with Comcast as my base broadband provider. I did enable "best WFI".

Out fo curiosity, what's been the hit on battery with this option?
Wifi signal is great, however this is the 3rd HTC phone I've had that wont stay connected to wifi. I get no service in my house so wifi is a must, however after some time it disconnects, then tries to reconnect but hangs on "AUTHENTICATING WITH WIRELESS". My galaxy s 4g never disconnected on me, but the mytouch 3g, mytouch 4g and now my evo 3d cant hold a connection.
It's good, but it gets better when your in WiFi settings, tap menu button, hit advanced, and click best WiFi performance.

Agreed I can actually get a signal OUTSIDE of my house. I am very pleased with the wifi reception
I was getting 3m down, 1m up with my rooted Hero. My laptop gets 20m down 5m up. The 3vo is getting 14m down, 4m up; amazing!
I have a Motorola Xoom and I get 72Mbps on Wireless N 2.4ghz, and while at the same time I am getting 6Mbps in the same location on the Moto Photon . I have a Netgear 4000 (N750) and I am about 7ft away with both devices. Is the WiFi Radio that Horrible in the Photon. Wireless SUCKS. I am on Channel 11 (the only person in the neighborhood, everyone else is still on default channel 6).
Anyone else having this issue. I just got this today and Love the phone, and but the Wireless is Terrible and may force me to take it back. I have Time Warner Cable (Roadrunner Plus 25Mbps Down & 2Mbps Up. I am baffled. Unless the Photon Wireless Radio SUCKS BALLS. I have updated the PRL & Profile.
What are you using to check your wifi speeds? Is it the same app on both?

I am using WiFi Analyzer on my Xoom only. I called Moto and Sprint and it has been escalated. 6Mbps is Rediclous. I have been doing this IT thing for 15+ years (installed AP's, Routers, Switches etc.etc) and NEVER have seen a WiFi Signal fluxuate like the Photon's does (from 72Mbps to 11Mbps in the matter of a couple of minutes or if I move around). I even turned off my 5ghz SSID and that did not help. It's really wierd.
Edit: I am now using the same WiFi Analyzer on my Photon and it shows the same results
Is 6Mbps too slow to load things on a phone? I guess I'm confused what you'd need more speed for on a phone...

I'm seeing 18/17mb down and ~10 up using speedtest on my 802.11n 2.4ghz wifi.. dlink router if it makes a difference, using wpa2
(my internet's capable of 50/10)
-m
Just out of curiosity I ran a speed test
- i have 22x5 Connection. Only 1 bar signal on the wifi meters on the phone cause I'm pretty far from my router. Not too bad though.

It's not too slow, BUT my Xoom gets ALOT better WiFi reception (has a better WiFi Radio). I feel the WiFi Radio in the Photon is Crap (8 Radio's in the Photon and the most important one is garbage, alot of people will use WiFi). Hopefully there is a Firmaware update that fixes it. We don't buy these expensive WiFi Routers to get 6Mbps. Even the guys at Sprint agreed with me. That's low. Should see at least 28Mbps and above with the router I have.
I guess it's just a pet peeve of mine after doing this for so long, I know what I should be getting and it bothers me. Especially when WIFi Analyzer says my signal is Awesome.
Since getting my replacement EVO LTE, I have been having weird WiFi problems. I can connect to 5GHz WiFi networks without any problems, and the phone shows great signal strength. However, when connected via WiFi, most programs (Chrome, Play Store, etc.) can't access the internet. The weird thing is that the Speedtest.net has no problems running when I'm connected to a 5GHz network, and I get speeds around 15Mbps. The internet works perfectly when I'm connected to the exact same router at 2.4GHz, and my laptop has no problems on my 5GHz network.
Anyone else encountered this? The fact that Speedtest.net works makes me think it's not a hardware issue, but my old EVO LTE didn't do this.
Sorry to hear. Honestly I didn't know we had 5 ghz wifi. Thanks for the info.

I have a dual-band router and my 5Ghz band connects and transfers data at 60Mbps.
What ROM are you running? What kernel?
Connect to your 5Ghz band and wait about a minute. Then in the WiFi settings, tap on your network name and what is the speed it is connected at?

Wifi is awesome. I am getting wifi signals while driving along the interstate in Houston, however 3g and LTE are terrible and this is supposed to be one of the first LTE areas for Sprint.
The phone barely connects to the internet while my wife's EVO 3d can get a signal easy. For example I tried to load the maps app while sitting at a traffic light and kept getting no connection. While hers loaded up almost instantly. Tried the same with the internet browser.
Both phones are rooted. Anyone else having data connection issues when not using WIFI?
no problems in the SW suburbs of Chicago...you need to call Sprint and tell them exactly where the problem areas are..

I'm in Houston too and experiencing the same issues as you. According to my friend who is an engineer for Sprint here in Houston, there's already Spark work being done extensively here. Take that with a grain of salt but that's what I was told tonight.
Edit: Here I am 3 days later and my service has greatly improved. I had my phone for less than 24 hours when posting before but things have settled up nicely and I'm now pulling faster speeds than I ever did on T-Mobile.

At the moment although I'm not on a 4g plan I currently get amazing speeds on dc-hsdpa and this is displayed as "dc" next to my signal bars, however everytime it drops to "h" (assuming hspa or hsupa) my connection fails instantly and I can't load a single page till it goes back to dc-hsdpa. It only seems to happen in the area I live in really but it really is causing problems for streaming and Web browsing. It switches between the 2 bands constantly and very occasionally will pick up h+ but I can't understand while on h it doesn't seem to connect to anything? Sometimes it's so bad that I have to switch data connection off/on again! Any ideas? So frustrating!
