Everyone has heard of verizons supposedly blazing fast LTE and how there the fastest network around well this is my moms phone running on there network had full service and everything. She's always complaining how slow her internet is and I didn't believe her till now
Edit: in the pic it says 3g which makes no sense because she always has 4G on but idk

You would definitely see a huge difference if it was on LTE. That's Verizon's 3g speeds.

I've seen verizons 4g speeds go past 50mb down. Maybe your just not in that good of an area. Just cause bars are full doesn't mean internet faster. I get fast 3g in some places with low signal

Yeah there are 3G to 4G hand offs which your mom probably had when she was no longer in a 4G area.
First rule of LTE in general is that it doesn't compare with anything out right now except maybe T-mobile's 42mbps hspa+.

You really should think about what you say before you look like an ass. Right now it looks like you have a case of foot in mouth disease.
As the poster above me pointed out he is clearly only getting 3G.
@poster just because you have 4G turned on does not mean you are getting 4G your phone needs to pick up the 4G signal to go into 4G mode.
This has to be the most entertaining thread of the day.

Could it be that he was really on Verizon's LTE in a really poor Verizon LTE coverage area...and right before he took the screen shot his phone dropped to 3G because of the bad LTE signal ?
Possible? Very Unlikely ?

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.
Sent from my Shooter.
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.

Yea, ping is always weird. I don't quite understand how 4g works really as far as towers go. I live in Vancouver WA and I usually connect to somewhere in Kansas, usually Wichita. I ping that at around 150Ms. Kinda crazy. If anyone had anymore info on this I would love to learn about it. Like why I'm connecting to a server in Wichita, when I live in Vancouver.
Also, I work for Comcast and we have 100mbps package but only 10 up. Frontier (Verizon) has a maximum 35mbps upload though, which is a hard sell. Lol. That's the only thing frontier has over Comcast though. ;-)

International business times were comparing the galaxy nexus and photon in every catagory and said about connectivity
"Connectivity: Galaxy Nexus has HSDPA 21 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps and 4G LTE support. The Photon 4G has Rev.A up to 3.1 Mbps, HSDPA, HSUPA, along with 4G LTE support."

The only reason I will eventually move to LTE (I'm already currently in a WiMAX area) is for the improved speeds and the lower frequencies. Lower frequency radio waves will better penetrate thick walls (like concrete) and will reduce how much battery it uses. Therefore, LTE is overall more stable than WiMAX technology.

The big issue I see is a big price jump once lte is turned on. There is some serious traffic control that lte has that wimax doesn't. When they can truly see what being used and the rate of consumption, bye bye unlimited.

though I do think there will be a day when unlimited will be no more, i don't think it will be anytime soon, for 2 reason, 1 the premium data fee ($10) we all pay according to dan hasse is the reason we don't have tier data plans already, so if they switched they can't charge that anymore and 2 sprint uses it too much to advertise with, and is a reason so many of the customers are staying... if they lose that they will lose A LOT of customers...

I am in no hurry to upgrade. I live in a small city about an hour north of Atlanta. My little city of 30k has WiMax and is set to get LTE the first round, but I get 4G inside my apartment and downtown. While I don't get LTE speeds, I do get around 7-8mb. And I'm okay with that till the next round of LTE phones come out. WiMax isn't going anywhere anytime soon for those of us that have it.

Not really, I mean, in my area 3g really sucks I can barely download a song if I wanted to. Even that can't make me return this phone. I plan on waiting till LTE gets rolled out in my area. With that said, some people get really good speeds on 3G maybe you will too.
In the end its more about preference. If you want 4G you're gonna have to stick with a WiMAX enabled phone for now.
