Hello I have a tunderbolt running Thunderstick fullblown 1.1.0.. My 4g on the phone will not break 2mbps. I was standing next to my friend with an unrooted thunderbolt and he was getting 13mbps..
I pulled my battery and 4g card to try to reset, cleared cache and cookies and same..
Then I turned on the wifi hotspot on my thunderbolt and connected my laptop and got 15mbps but my phone will stuggle to get 2mbps.. A lot of times switching to 3g on my thunderbolt is faster then 4g.. It is not a signal issue as my laptop connected through the phone is very fast.. I range from -69dBm to -85dBm depending where I am.. I am in NJ near NYC and the 4g is very good here, when I use to be near the hospital that has a tower next to it I was almost always seeing 40-50 mbps, now struggle to get to 2mbps..
Please HELP!
How are you testing the speed on your phone.

I am using the app from speedtest.net..
I discovered that it looks to be the rom I am using.. I backed up my set up and then loaded my last rom that I backed up just before changing roms and using my old rom which was the Thunderstick 3d and my 4g speeds over the phone are fast again, the bad thing is the thunderstick 3d rom wifi hot spot feature did not work at all... So I went back to Thunderstick fullblown 1.1.0 for now since the wifi hotspot works good.. I will have to look into a new rom that has good 4g phone speed and good wifi hotspot speed..

Actually, its the app. It does not work with rom properly. If you think about it, why would it be different on pc using wifi tether than it is on your phone? The pc probably had the accurate reading, the phone has the same speed, just doesnt read proprtly.

Anyone else in the Phoenix area experience major 4G issues today? I've been getting "Webpage not available" and "Unable to connect to the server" (Sync) errors all morning. Tried restarting my phone a few times, but no luck. Phone shows that it has a 4G signal, but only the Up arrow is lighting up. Just curious if anyone else is having similar problems.
*EDIT* Have also tried turning off mobile network and then back on, but still no luck.
**EDIT #2** Now switched over to 3G and 3G is working ... cant re-capture 4G signal anymore. Looks like another outage.
I only used 4g once this morning to do a speedtest and it went smooth. Other than that I'm leaving it on 3g since I don't receive 4g well in the building I work at.

When you step out to lunch, please try your 4G connection and let me know if you have any luck. I'd appreciate it.
4g is working fine for me. I can access the internet and just ran a speed test.
I'm back up and running on 4G now as well. No idea what the issue was, just glad it got resolved quickly.
What are your 4G speeds usually like? I've been running Speedtest a few times a week and I tend to hit 18Mbps for my down speed, up is usually crap and around 2.3Mbps.
What rom are running? I'm trying the new gingerbread leak but the 4g is slow as all hell...2.5 down only compared to 10-12 running on a froyo radio

Running Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3 with Adryn's 4.4.7 Kernel. I've been switching off between 4.4.7 and Imoseyon's latest kernels as well, but I tend to get a better Linpack score with 4.4.7.
4G speeds seem to be consistent on both ... havent tried the new Gingerbread leaked Radio yet.
I'm stock right now getting around 8.5 mbps down and 2.5 up

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!
Hey guys,
I started using Theory's AOSP roms and the speed and feel its like a new phone but I've always had problems with the wifi tethering. I've flashed (wiped cache/dalvik formatted system) to shift 1.2 and still have problems with the tethering not connecting.
I've tried both wireless tether for root and native with similar results: connects to a fraction of the 4G speed with an unsecured connection and it won't connect at all with WPA.
I have the 802 radio and I've tried other ones.
I'm stuck at the moment so any help will be really really appreciated
(Theory I would have addressed this directly in the ROM thread but I'm fresh off the package with less than 10 posts)

There is a Tether Fix in the AOSP Stor3. Delete the current Wifi Tether apps you have... Wipe cache and dalvik and flash in recovery.
Sent from my SHIFTAO5P using XDA App
Thanks, apparently I forgot to wipe dalvik so that did it.
Now my issue is the speed that I get from tethering, I use to get the same 4G speed on sense roms while tethering but on aosp if I get past 1mbps its a lot.
What speeds does everyone else experience and what so you use for tethering?
Sent from my SHIFTAO5P using XDA App
Anyone have any idea how to get more speed out of wireless tethering? I've tried native, wireless for root and open garden but they all behave the same. I get around 8mbps on the phone but only 1mbps on the computer

I was having the same issue with cm7.
my phone gets about 40mbps down and 25 mbps up but when tethering the computer was only getting like 3 or 4 mbps. I don't normally tether but 4g recently went live so I was just testing if it would be a viable switch for the house.
Its almost if there's something g in the 4g service that recognizes tethering? Just speculation.

I thought it was something like that but its only on CM7 as wifi tethering gets 4G speeds on sense roms. Have you tried with any other apps? I feel like its the native hotspot for CM7 that gets in the way of the other apps (whenever I start any wireless tethering app the phone will show the icon for cm7's hotspot feature as active)
So if you don't have a custom rom you will never know this but anyone ever see they phone on 1x instead of 3g?
Mine seems to do it randomly. I will have decent signal and be doing something on the net like IM or checking email and it will just drop to 1x and snail mode, after being idle for a few min will go back to 3g.
It doe snot always do this but seems to about once a day and has happened at home and work now so not just the tower.
Just in hopes I don't need to exchange my phone or something
Again only like once a day but I just dont understand it. I am on MeanRom right now and has happened on all versions since I started on 1.5 and doubt is his rom and just that his rom lets me see the 1x now is all.

Yes!
I recently installed that LiquidSmooth ROM and now I find my phone dropping into 1X on a daily basis.
I have to turn Mobile Network off and put it back on for it to go into 3G. Otherwise it remains stuck in 1X.
What gives?
In Cincinnati I seem to see more 1x then 3g last week or so
Yes!
Mine will cycle from 4g to 1x all the time.
I've never talked bad about an HTC product but this phone sucks!
This have been a problem since the day I pulled it out of the box.

The phone doesnt suck. The network sucks. Welcome to sprint. The networks undergoing huge changes to it.

This is not caused by the network, this is a phone or firmware issue.
I have my Evo 3d and it does not do this in same areas.
I agree the network is slow which they are working on but this 1x is the phone doing something.
I wonder if this is a result of the recent FW upgrade or not, though guess not being a previous user said from day one his did this (which not sure how he would know that for sure as people didn't know it always said 3g right away to know to modify the rom)
My rooted OG Evo used to do the same thing in the Tampa Bay area. I haven't rooted my LTE yet, but I would assume it will do it too once I root.
Ya this happens to be and the best way I can fix the problem for me is to turn airplane mode on and then turn it off and it will go back to 3g or LTE
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I'm having the same issue. Airplane mode fixes it until I find another weak signal area and it returns to 1x. It will remain in 1x again until I cycle airplane mode again--even in strong signal 55dBm fast data areas.
info if it helps
OMJ's ELTE ROM 4.0.3 v1.3 (had same problem w/viper's too)
Hardware version 003
pri 2.45_003
prl 25005
baseband 1.05.11.0606
build 1.22.651.3
Am I the only one who has noticed poor 3G on this phone? Even poor for sprint standards. Especially at places where I normally get my best data I'm getting piss poor and even going into roaming. My desk at work is usually where I get my best speeds and now I can barely send a text message. I've only had the phone for a week but since I've got it 3G has been awful and even WiFi hasn't been spot on... I fails a lot dropping signal if my screen turns off for to long which sucks when I'm downloading a Rom or something of the sort, and before you ask I do have it set to keep WiFi on while the screen is off. I love the phone and would hate to get rid of it because I can't use it. So hopefully its not just me maybe sprint has something going in my area that started the moment I got my phone... I'm in Orlando, FL and I'm running stock with root

Call sprint, check for tower upgrades in your area.
Make sure your updating your prl and profile too

Naw ur not the only one....with all the upgrades to both the 3g and 4g LTE my 3g has been hit and miss.....good some days and bad others....hopefully it'll all get corrected real some only saving grace for me right now is wi-fi
Underlying idea is, its not the phone... its the network.
Past experience doesn't guarantee present performance
MIne is working well.
Wifi is performing very good for me, and the other day at my apt around 6pm i got 1.9megs down.. 3G..
Its a tower that has been upgraded but still have yet to stay connected to 4G longer then a minute..
No there is an issue...I had a moto photon that was very fast on 3g.....when i switched to the evo lte...i noted it seem to be a lot slower...figure it was the network
Well i went back on my photon while i unlock the evo....and again the photon just flys compared to the evo....there is an issue..a big one
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Well I switched from the E3D to the ELTE and I gained on 3g speeds.. I can tell a diff in speed . I got a taste of LTE yesterday for about 5 hrs and it is very noticeable fast over WiMAX .
