Has anyone else noticed their data speeds drop significantly after this latest update? At first I just figured they were doing something to the network, but here a week or so later I'm still getting around 100 - 200kb where I used to get 1mb.

Mine seems fine. I am running Eternity 3.0 with no issues. All I have is 3g in my area tho and I live out in the country side. Do you live in a big city were there is alot of folks hammering away on data?
I'm near cocoa beach so it's not uncommon for them to get this low during the day, but around now at one in the morning the they're usually good.
My upload speeds seem fine also, it's just my down stream data that is horrible.

Yeah my data speeds have tanked too man, sucks!

I think it may have affected me also. At night I can still pull over 1 mb down on 3g. WiMAX I haven't been able to pull over 1 mb down my upload speeds are normal for both I'm not sure if its location related or update related. The other night I couldn't even download an app on 3g.
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.

My data speeds were always pretty bad but I've noticed other carriers like att and Verizon having same issues.
The fix that works for me every time is on the stock ROM dial ##CLEAR# enter your msl tap menu and restore, then reboot your phone

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

That doesn't work.... Are you sure it's not ##DATA#....?
Either way, restoring my data profile doesn't work.

I've had this happen before where my upload was greater than my down. I just re provisioned my phone my self, restored data profile, and I was good to go.

Have y'all tried to update profile/prl yet? Simple fix, but sometimes works wonders (particularly profile update)

Yep tried that and it doesn't help.
Try this...
##72786#
select edit and enter MSL
select menu and then Reset
After phone goes through "hands free activation" and your back at your dialer, enter this:
##3282#
select edit and enter MSL
select data profile
select menu and select Restore
Update profile
Make sure you have a good data connection to allow hands free activation.

Sprint speeds suck, point blank, no questions asked. I know sprint is good in some areas but where I live in and out of Los Angeles I can only get around 15 kbps to 120 kbps on 3G during the day normally.

I agree but you shouldn't be getting faster upload speeds compared to download.. Something has to be causing this... I might do some more tinkering with epst...

I haven't gotten over 60 - 100kbps on 3G in the longest time...
Just throwing this out there, but is it possible this may have something to do with it?
So I was messing with data settings and found similar settings in this we know of from og EVO etc
If there is a post on this sorry
Just wondering if anyone else messed with it
Obviously msl is needed either the reader from the market or via sprint you can get it .
Also if using msl reader root privs are needed
I think there is other ways those who know more please feel free just learning

Cautious, not be trolling you, but, list your issue and what you have tried and are trying to do to correct it.
Basically, flashed to Boost Mobile and don't have 4G working, correct?
If I recall, this one is outside what I know, however, I'm interested to know the correction as well just to tuck away for future knowledge.

yes this is correct.
the downside is not having a good understanding of how wimax is tied into boost mobiles service. We all know its sprints old wimax, for now thats all we know until the design is rooted and what not
Okay I just finished reading some ish over in the evo 4g boosted forum here on xda ...apparently we are trying to hex out current boosted WiMAX mac addresses to a connected mac address and both devices should be able to connect at the same time but different towers..
honestly I did this in high school on an open work network they tried to use a mac filter so I checked for computers on that network copied its mac address and spoofed my iPod and laptop mac address and well you I don't need to say anymore
Forgot to mention that you can get WiMAX mac addresses from nandroid back ups
Thanks to th3b055 and louforgiveno
I got this Intel from them over in the evo supersonic forums

I have an epic 4g flashed to boostmobile and the htc design is wimax? If so, theoretically if I change my Wimax settings to boost and have the 4g plan, it would work right???
Uhh you may have to change your mac address as well not sure if you have.the.boost mobile WiMAX info give.it.a.shot.remember to bring back some.info dude

Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
looking forward to the progress. Can we even get 4G connectivity if we have an EvDo or 3G only phone on our account? I suppose the correct settings simply open the door to connectivity much like the Design can by switching between 3G/4G?
I think we have to flash boost WiMAX settings as an update ...
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The realm is myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com
But that's not the major roadblock. The way Sprint's WiMax works is that they have a database that links each 4G phone's MEID with a specific WiMax MAC and when you have active service on that phone, the MAC address becomes authorized on Clear's network.
In order to have legit 4G on Boost, you'd still need their $299 Evo Design to use as a donor. Then you'd need an as-yet-unknown process of copying the WiMax configuration and RSA keys from the Evo Design to your Evo 3D. I don't see this ever being something that gets figured out on the 3D, since most people who drop the $299 on an Evo Design will just use it as-is. Plus, the Samsung Conquer, Epic 4G and Epic Touch already have full WiMax configuration (including MAC address).
Yeah, the old Evo and Evo Shift could have their WiMax partitions copied between phones. The newer ones are different beasts.
yes i figured this out last week when i purchased a sprint overdrive pro been trying to mod it to clears service got it activated but could not mod the firmware blahhh...
i knew it would be difficult to get on boost 4g we need phew a bunch of things lol anyone notice how when you change your realm to myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com when you try to load a web page it takes you to a subscription page...for either clear sprint or brighthouse lol! okay okay so the thing is to wait tilll your bill drops to 35$ than go to clear subscribe to their 35 or 50 $ plan and you'll have swift 4g woot lol
I need help on fixing this including many and still no results. My 3g keeps cutting on and off as soon as I go and try to browse anything. It's really getting irratating since I use my internet a lot. QPST settings are all done correctly.

i would say if your on gingerbread type this ##debug# and go to evdo or 3g engineering. goto the bottom of page and see if your authenticated. it sounds like you are not. if so verify your AAA and HA keys are correct in your MIP profile. and does cricket run on verizon or sprint network. if verizon you need to put a modified sprint/verizon prl on it so the phone dosent think its roaming.
thinking Verizon is having a bad day... cannot connect or force LTE and 3g eHRPD fails then I eventually get evdo A
also...##778# on my thunderbolt used to bring up a menu where I could alter the modern setting to only look for evdo rev a for 3g... which is a life saver in times like this... is that setting hiding somewhere on the DNA?
thanks in advance
and pardon the predictive text mistakes on lte, in, and modem lol
not having any issues with my DNA, but wife has not been able to get any data connection on her inc4g all day

nope.. on the HTC thunderbolt.. dialing ##778# would initialize an EPST menu where you would select edit mode...
from there at the password prompt you would put in 000000
at the full EPST menu you would select modem settings
in that sub menu.. select Rev A
by default it was set to eHRPD.. but if you changed it to enable, commit the modification and reboot,it would force rev a 3g data which was a godsend when Verizon was having LTE/ eHRPD outages... as they always seem to go hand in hand
I'm down in Wilmington, DE and was having issues up until about 2 hours ago. No data at all...

You could only do that because the thunderbolt had the weirdest radio set up known to man. It had 2 seperate radios in it.
But you can get into EPST with ##778

If I do either of those then wait a while, like 30 seconds to a minute, a menu pops up saying edit mode or view mode. Edit mode requires a password which I don't know, but view mode does not.
