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.

Is anyone in the Florida area or anywhere seem to be losing data connection?. I'll try to go on this app, or google. The 4g symbol is there but no orange lines extending from it. I have to keep closing applications and try again. The loading bar will be there and then stop and nothing. Happens alot. and then starts working again.

Happens from time to time in the Tampa area as well in Orlando area. Seems to happen most often when switching from WiFi to cell data. It comes back in under 10 seconds though once it gets a signal.
Mine happens most of the time on 4g data..

Tampa your at least on lte. I'm on just 4g.. But the 4g symbol is there. Just at times when trying to connect, the yellow data lines do not show up. And have to force close and restart. I was told by an att Rep at the store that the data signal where I live is not great. That's why. Wish I had lte.

OK a friend of mine on a Epic (old one) told me that he got a sprint communications update, or something along the lines of that. Now, he says he can talk on the phone and browse the Internet at the same time. Anybody else got this update?
He said that the guy from radio Shack said it isn't just his device, but other phones on sprint too.
Also, strange thing. He also says that he is picking up 4G signal where we live which is North Cape coral in Florida, and we never had 4G here. Maybe sprint is still rolling out wimax in a few cities.

As far as I know the only way to talk and surf is to be connected with 4g or WiFi during the call.

I use it all the time on my phone for business ...put them in speaker and look something up while I'm parked somewhere far from my computer. I've also edited documents while talking. I don't use it every day, but it's become a must-have for me.

I consider my phone to be a miniature computer first, a phone second. I'd love to be able to surf the web or read a feed while taking a call.

Hey guys, (Did extensive search before posting this)
Whenever I get a MMS the messages show a download button but will not download. I have tried turning wifi on and off, turning mobile data on and off, rebooting, using stock app and Go SMS and nothing is working. I looked in APN settings but do not know if they are right or not.
The issue just started recently, I have had the phone about a week and they seemed to work at first.
Please help,
This is driving me crazy and is frankly unacceptable in 2012. I saw some threads about old Galaxys having this issue.
You have to be on mobile data without wifi for them to download.

Thanks for the reply, but I have tried turning wi fi off, which in turn reverts to mobile data and still no success. Could it be that I also use a micro cell? My carrier service is literally the worst possible at my house without the micro cell. This is quite unfortunate if so.
I think wifi has to be off when it is initially coming through and yes, a micro cell will do it. Is it a voice micro cell or data?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Its a voice micro cell, but it also transmits a 3G signal. Not sure of the speed since I always use wi fi.
This is boggling my mind. Are you telling me that it is not possible to recieve a freaking MMS message created in 1982 (sarcastic) on a 2012 LTE device if I am in a wifi network. WTH. That is crazy to me.
So are these images gone or do I need to turn off wifi and turn off the micro cell to download?
Thanks for your help btw.
So I disconnected wifi and disconnected my microcell and clicked download on Go SMS and nothing, error message. Pulled up the stock SMS app and clicked download and after a half minute or so the picture appears. The picture then also shows in Go SMS.
I guess the solution is no MMS while at home which is a bit frustrating coming from another device/platform where this problem would not occur.
Thanks again.
I have the international GS3 on AT&T. My phone automatically downloads MMS if only mobile data is on or both wifi & mobile data are on. I believe it is your microcell causing your disruption OP.
Sorry, my international S3 also only downloads MMS if only mobile data is on.. I have yet to see it auto download when Wi-Fi was on. I would say it could be the microcell in this case though.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
When mms comes in the WiFi should temporarily shut off and the radio picks up 3 or 4g in order to download it. U honestly won't notice any seperation. If u honestly can't receive them, check your apn settings
Sent from my vivow using Tapatalk 2
You are getting mms when you are away from your home/microcell, correct?
hmm, i just noticed that mine has been doing this lately too. MMS won't download unless I turn off wi-fi. I'm on t-mobile
While I was on a call the other day I decided to browse the internet during the call....FAIL
I wondered if there was something wrong with my phone so I tried it on another call after I restarted my phone and still not internet during call. I called T Mobile to ask them about this and they told me that the HTC One does not support that feature.
That just sound crazy to me because I was able to do it with my 2 year old myTouch 4g.
Has anybody else tried or experienced the same?
Does anybody know any information or a fix to this?
I searched around the threads for a while to see if anybody noticed this or made a thread about it but I didn't see anything. If there is other information regarding this please direct me.
Hmmm I can't say about web browsing but I can confirm you can send and receive text while in the phone. I'll try browsing next time I'm on a call.

Is your device a tmobile HTC One? Were you on 4g when you tried to browse while on call? Do you even get 4g service? Browsing while in call requires for you to be in 4g.

Thanks everybody for your responses. I was able to get messages but it just wouldnt let me browse the internet. And yes I was on 4g but not lte...if that helps. Maybe I will just try again after another reboot and see what happens

Is your device a tmobile device? I seen some thing on the web where people with dev edition or people using att device with tmobile couldn't browse while in call. Is the reason I ask. If you have a dev edition on tmo network, that might be the problem.

Cleary he was clueless...smh lol
It has worked fine for me while connected to bluetooth Ford Sync I was able to post comments on Facebook while on the phone in Honolulu on 4G, pretty sure anything other than 4G and wifi it won't work

I believe that what you experienced is just a general, minor Android bug. I've owned numerous devices, and everything from the mytouch 4G, to the Nexus 4, has given me a rare issue where sometimes when I'm making a call, I'll try to load the web, and see that I have no data. In order to regain my data, I'll have to end the call, wait a few moments for the data to fully restore itself, and then I can make the call again and use the web.

I think it is normal for data connection to not work properly right after your phone/IMEI/SIM is first activated with T-Mobile's system..... always takes a reboot.

Glad you got it to work. That rep you talked to was indeed clueless: browsing data while on a call isn't a "feature"; it's how the freaking network works. All GSM/UMTS/HSPA+ networks allow you to do this (in the US, this is tmo/att). CDMA networks work differently and don't allow EVDO use (3G) while on call. I think most verizon phones with LTE do allow you to use LTE and voice at the same time, though it might depend on the exact baseband setup. CDMA, blech.
