Is there any way to reverse, fix this yet? My speeds are suffering greatly.
A prl update shouldn't affect your speeds at all... Unless it adds or removes a tower you were always roaming on before.

ehhh
actually a prl can and will dramatically change data speeds...
stock vs a modified one such as 0001.prl changes my speeds by about 1.5 mbps

That's because that 0001 prl is a Verizon prl. Which is roaming off the Sprint network. As for the new Sprint prl for the Photon, I wouldn't be surprised if this new prl affected data speeds. I'be learned to expect creeping snail data speeds from Sprint.

I've always maintained the latest PRL from Sprint. Worst case scenario I can always switch to 000001 but I see no need to. I get decent coverage in my area.
The new prl automatically updated on my photon last night and I can tell there's a difference in signal strength and data speeds. I was getting two bars on average inside my house with very slow data speeds. Now I'm pushing solid four to five bars and data speeds are noticeably faster. My house has a metal roof by the way and the Photon is the only phone that has been able to pull good signal inside my house. The radios in the Motorola Photon are second to none. This is real world testing.
I put money on the Photon in every signal strength and call quality test. Its a freakin' BEAST of a phone and EVERYBODY quickly tells me how good and clear they can hear me on this phone.
My 4G is also better after this prl update.

Hello, I just got a new evil 3d becuase of the dual core processor because I thought that the internet would be faster. Is there a configuration needed? With my 4 g my speeds are in the 400 and now with the 3d "dual core" processor I'm in the 200's
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The processor has little to do with internet speeds. It helps, making things more responsive, but the signal effects the data speed. And the antenna on the 3D are at the bottom near where you'd hold the phone which could degrade the signal.
Is the phone faster than the 4G? Yes. Does that mean you'll get faster data? Not necessarily.

You'll return it in a week, once you see how slow 3g is with sprint.
IF your lucky, you might get 100k up / down, but typically, only 25k

This is dependant on location. I'm not doubting you are experiencing slow network speeds, but it's purely a matter of tower saturation, and your surroundings. I'm consistantly seeing downloads in the range of 1.0-1.7 mbs. Sometimes, at night, I can break 2.0 mbs, but that's because there isn't much activity. But, I'm in a major metropolitan area, with strong network coverage from the major 4 carriers. There was a blip for about 8 months where the speeds were really slow, but Sprint fixed the tower by my house, and now I'm back to normal.
And, to the OP, I didn't notice any difference in download speed between my Evo 4G, and Evo 3D.

exactly it all matters were u are with any network. ive been with sprint forever and ive always seen consistent 3g speeds in my hometown ranging from .8-1.7mbps recently ive moved from the east coast to the west coast and im still seeing great speeds but not the same around .5-1.0 which still works and i somehow managed to move from the best 4g city to another great 4g city haha always see speeds of 5-12mbps

The Airave doesn't provide 4G Signals. It does however provide 3G Data Connection which is usually faster than what you'd get from a Sprint Tower. Also Depends on your internet connection that you'd be hooking the Airave up to.
I just hooked up the airave and I went from 0.2 to 1.3 . It's bad assets. I recommend everybody call Sprint and get it. It's freeeeee.

My evo 4G is actually a lot better about picking up a 4G signal, but the speeds are about the same with both. The 3G and 4G antenna are still on top with the 3D but the wifi and Bluetooth are indeed on the bottom of the phone.
If you're not getting at least 600kbps on 3G call sprint and let them know. That's the minimum speed they advertise do usually they'll credit your account for it.

I remebered an old trick from when the evo first came out where it was for some strange reason running in a gsm/cdma hybrid mode, or so the diag screen says, and if you change it to cdma only the data speeds were improved. I'm no network engineer so i'm not sure how that works, but for our phones if you click on mobile network itself in settings, the network config menu shows the radio mode as LTE/CDMA as default. I was having horrible speeds, maybe topped out at 200kbps on multiple tests, switched it to CDMA only, and was getting the same speeds as my OG evo, still a paltry 600-800kbps, but that is at my home where the 3g speeds have always been like this. Give that a try, and note that the setting doesn't stick if you reboot.
Yes, they suck. Unfortunately this is what I have 98% of the time where I live. 2G.

Ouch... I get good speeds aside from my ping. After the ICS update my ping went up into the mid-upper 100's and 200's from double digit ping times on GB.
T-Mo's 2G may be meh, but it's still better than AT&T's 2G network, or at least that's how it seemed when I had them.
Only smartphone I know handles tmo 3G well and doesn't seem slow on it is BlackBerry's.
T mobile reps are saying we will have 4g here by 2013. If not, in may when contract is up probably jump to the dreaded Verizon. They have 4G here.

That's exactly what I ask t mobile when I get the courtesty call because I've gone over the 200mb considered high speed before I'm throttled. I do get 4G when I go to fort Wayne 2-3 times a month. So I usually use 250mb or so.
