Hey guys, my wife's photon has a terrible data speed. I don't know why, were both running the exact same software/prl. I've wiped the phone and reloaded all the updates and her data connection is still slow. Side by side speed tests between her phone and mine show my phone is grabbing 2.2mb, and her phone is struggling to reach 100 Knossos. Any ideas????

That's crazy, subscribed to see how this plays out. Both are connected to the same network, right? (I know, unlikely you're comparing 4G to 3G, just making sure )
I have actually had a similar issue before. And had sprint reset my data and such, and it fixed the problem. But over time it went back to being hit and miss with the good speeds.
As stated, have Sprint look at her data plan. All carriers have the ability to slow you down or speed you up.
Funny, @ a month back I looked at Sprints "Unlimited Data" fine print. To make this short, we do have unlimited data, BUT, if your using your device as a server, sending out mass Spam, or (and yes it states this) if you turn on your webcam and set it on the table for several hours, the will turn down your bandwidth for that billing cycle.
I did the above because a old friend is long time AT&T iPhone user on Unlimited Data. AT&T decided to cap new users at 5Gb but last month decided to slow down old users after 5Gb. Not charge them, but put them on a leash.
Hey guys thanks for the responces. Problem solved!!!! I had to use rsdlite to change the software back to the old mr3 release, and manually update her phone to the latest software and then I had to factory reset like 6 times and finally it her data speeds increased. Now there were they need to be.......oh and I wasn't talking about 4g speeds, I was refering to the 3g data speeds. I have an air rave at home. I usually test the 3g speeds atleast once a week. Its a good way to keep up with q.o.s. on the air rave. Thanks for all the responces everyone.

So the speeds were slow when it was connected to your home airrave? Then I don't think its a problem with sprint or your phone but rather your home internet connection. But if you're not connected to the airrave and outside then that's a diff problem

Very true, however I own a photon, and when I do a speed test while being connected to the air rave, and my numbers are high, I know something isn't right with my wife's phone. I also run a speed test on my internet connection at home to ensure I'm getting every megabyte I pay att for lol.

Hello. I've seen it mentioned, and wouldn't have believed it if I didn't experience it. FYI, this isn't a *****ing thread, I am just curios WHY 3G speeds on the 3VO are so much slower than what I had from the OG Evo. Is this something that will, or even CAN be addressed by a radio update?
Thanks for the input!
From my personal experience, in the same location I have gone from speeds of 300kbps to a meg a second, down to >100kbps with a top of 300kbps. I tried the "Increase 3G speed trick," and still in the same speed range.
UPDATE: I had Sprint reprovision my device, and was told to do a battery pull, turn on and let the system settle, and voila. Still pulling 300kpbs tho.
If anything, this can be fixed through a radio update. Just give it time. I know it is unfortunate. Have you bothered with the MSL tweak that is in the development section?

Yes, didn't see any difference unfortunately. I just hope it is software limitations and not hardware... I cant imagine the Evo and 3Vo have that much of a different set up?

My 3G speeds are a little bit faster, but they still suck. Where I live, my speeds are abysmal. This applies with any Sprint phone. I remember when my speeds rocked, but that was at the beginning of the release of the Evo 4G. It just degraded throughout time.

I thought it was just my 3D at first, but now I see that every sprint phone my family has have been extremely slow. My sister called me yesterday asking how to turn on the 3g on her Samsung, but sadly it was already on. Sprint can't keep up with all the new subscribers.
3G on Sprint compared to Verizon sucks. I called sprint and told them about it. I suggest that others do the same. I'd didn't ***** at them I just told them I have a Xoom and a EVO3D and the Xoom 3G absolutely blows away Sprint. I told them its embarrassment. Unlimited data? Ya at 56k they can give you all the unlimited data they want.
Mine have increased from OG EVO to this without the msl trick. Weird.
Edit: update on speeds. Tested three times, all above 1.40 mbps. Never got that on og evo.

Funny thing, I just saw sprint's new commercial about unlimited data. They rank on verizon and att for their tiered data, then they rank on tmobile for thier throttling data after 5gb, and they finally they say how fast their data is! I laughed my ass off. I bet tmobile's throttled data is faster that my 3G data with full bars. I'm not in a 4G area so I can't comment on that, I'm sure it's fast but sprint's 3G data in my area is super slow during peak hours. I average 100kbs peak, about 700kbs to 1mb super early in the morning or super late in the evening. Basically without a wifi connection its unusable during peak hours.
no difference between the evo and 3d for me same old 56k **** speeds.

Thats what I told the lady from sprint was that if you don't have a WiFi connection then data was pretty much useless. What got me was I have all my music on the Google cloud. So I sync my Xooms bluetooth with my car. On the way to work it played perfect never skipped and I could change tracks without issue. So I thought well let me try it with my EVO. Well what a disaster it wouldn't play a single track let alone change tracks. Completely worthless without WiFi.
Odd that some see no difference, and some better and some worse... I put the OG Evo back on to make sure, and I'm getting approximately 3 times the network speed.
Does anyone know why this could be? I see fewer bars... But I didn't think to play with open signal maps. Might have to tinker with that when I get off.

For the ones that have good data on OG EVO, but not on the 3D, a reprovision of the phone should help you out. If you have bad speeds on both devices then reprovisioning won't do anything as you're probably in a bad reception area.
Just left tmobile for sprint and I can definitely say my throttled data was faster than sprints 3G.
It's beyond annoying. I live in Orlando, and somehow I find myself constantly roaming in high tourism areas. Actually, I'm roaming the minute I go into my bedroom.

Mine just picked up speed today! The sprint store tech did a speedtest and it was in the 100kb range. He reprovisioned the phone to reactivate on the network nd my speeds are now as good or better than original evo 500kb average. I dont think a radio update would do much good. Sprint needs to hop on the Rev B evdo or start rolling out those dual 3g/4g towers sooner than expected! They are dropping all these hot phones w/out expanding the network. Starting to sound like att.

So sick and tired of this...spent 6 months fighting with Verizon about data outages daily with the Charge, not to mention numerous replacement devices and trying every modem that came out. Now the Rezound is pulling the same crap. I've been with VZW for over ten years and get treated like an idiot not only in their stores but on the phone. No data whatsoever today and even replaced the SIM...AGAIN. What gives?!?!

A lot of people having the same problem today. Happens every few days I guess as they tweak 4g
I tried to tell people for months in the Charge forum that it was the network doing that, not the phone but NOBODY wanted to believe it.
Now, my Wife is using my old Charge and it is no better or worse than my Rezound as far as losing data periodically.

Just bought my Rezound a few hrs ago. They told me that 4g was down, and wouldn't be up fully again until around 11 or so tonight. Therefor, I also cannot activate it until then. She also tried to talk me out of buying it 3 times. What gives there?

she's clearly a typical salesperson who probably tries to push the razr because she probably gets the spiff on it (thats if its a corp store.) what was she telling you to get??
either way, mine activated fine, and it wen through, but 3g just didn't come on..i didn't know there was an outage though until another customer came in telling me it was messing up on his bionic
I didn't give her a chance to push another phone. Instead, I made her tell me why "more than half" were being returned. She stated constant reboot, bootlooping and software problems. Said something about a software update coming, but didn't know when it was supposed to come.

It is so noticeable! The latest update destroyed my data speeds. It's horrific now. Now, even in major cities I've never had a problem in, I struggle just to refresh a web page. Seriously, if I'm not on wifi I can't even use this anymore.

have no fluctuation here whatsoever, not even the slightest bit.
My speeds on 3G were always not so great and before and after the update they didn't budge to be honest.
Still waiting on the tower upgrade to be done near my house to fix the capacity issue it has. Too bad im told thats not set to be done till April 1st. lol
Love that they spent the time to do the voice capacity upgrade in December when Ive never ever had a dropped call here once, but data has always capped out at sub par speeds.
Believe me i check multiple times during the day and multiple servers on the speedtest app always in the same exact location and compare the same times of day and its funny to watch the speed i get at 6am be crushed by 11am when normal folk wake up. haha

Hi All,
I have an AT&T Note. Both phones of course get AT&T's "4G." With both of these phones I have regular issues of data slowing to upwards of 3000ms Ping, speeds around 10-150kbps download, and 10-50kbps upload. How is this possible? It's driving me nuts, because when the damn thing works, it flies, but when it doesn't the speeds are so slow it is pretty much unusable.
EDIT: Also, on my phone the ping is always around 190ish when working well, whereas his is usually around 95. We do not live in an LTE area.

yeah... sprint 3G has sucked for me for like the last 6 months. I think they are intentionally throttling down and degrading 3G quality in towers where 4G is available. that seems to be the trend I am noticing. This way, it encourages us to move off of those channels and free up traffic for others who dont have 4G. Just a theory. But my worst 3G speed / signal is in areas where 4g is available.
I broke my 3d and had to reactivate my old Hero but i cant get any data cuz the area where my account is active (Dallas 469 area code) is having issues so even all the way down here in houston i cannot get my phone to provision on the network because its pulling from Dallas where the problem is.
