Just ran a speed test on my phone and im getting awful speeds. Around 300kb on average. Running stock rom ke5 radio and matrix kernel. Any idea why it is so damn slow with full service bars??

Move to question please can't do it from the app my bad.
although it probably won't get answered there.

Yes you're right about wrong area... but keep in mind bars mean nothing.. I could have two bars on my nexus s and my friend could have full bars on his evo 3d and I'd still have better data speeds than him. As of late sprints 3G speeds have not been great.. 4G is where its at.

Also if you were using the speedtest app itgives really inconsistent results. I use speakeasy.net on my phond

Maybe try another radio? I mean data speed isn't a kernel issue

Sprint sucks! I never have a service where I used to have before and 3g feels like 1x most of the time.

update your prl/profile.
sometimes sprint's speed sucks, sometimes it's great. i get inconsistent speeds... sometimes i'll get 1.5mpbs on 3G, other times I'll get 300kbps...
Updated both prl and profile and i'm pulling down speeds of 199kb. Awful. My upload is faster than my download haha.
On wifi I'm pulling speeds around 16mb

Am thinking of changing from cdma to gsm. Currently on the sprint network and their 3G has went to ........ I used to get 2mb downloads to around 250kb. What good is unlimited data if its dog slow. Is GSM 3G any better?

technically, the speed doesn't depend on network type, it should be the same on both GSM and CDMA. It depends on your cell provider limits.
Ok. Well people with GSM network providers .. what are your 3G speeds?

It would be more helpful if you gave a general location of interest... Service is not the same everywhere

im on tmobile USA. in MA, i hit around 4.8mb and in NY, its 7.6mb down.
"3G" gsm AT&T or T-Mobile is WCDMA (HSPA+ capable of up to 21mbps theroetical) Verizon and Sprint "3G" is EVDO (Theroretical up to 3mbps) you have to look at the phones radio capabilities and the network. Technically the 3G tech that GSM uses is faster than the 3G tech CDMA uses.
The phones... UGH... It depends on the service you have, your location, and how far you are from the tower... The phone dosent... Just.. Stupid ass question... Really just.. You're stupid end of story.

So I don't know about anyone else but I downloaded and ran speed test on my Amaze but I couldn't even get a full megabit per second. Angular experiencing this? Is it just the app? Or is it my phone?
I get around 4mb, varries on where you are try moving closer to a 4G cell tower

Here are a few speedtests taken with my Amaze (T-mobile) in the Jersey City, NJ area
Wasn't me!! I didn't do it!
I was in a 4g city yesterday and got 250kbps. at home way out in the country I was getting my normal 1mbps. Today I am in Santa Barbara, CA and am getting 13.7mbps!! Wow! seems very erratic.
I had a question does sim card affect this too? I'm using a dang old sim card it doesn't work with the wifi calling on the amaze I was wondering how to go about getting a new sim card... I have two but they were for other upgrades not my phones so i dunno how to set this up exactly can I use those sim cards or?

You didn't get a new sim with your phone?? You can always call tmobile or go into one of their stores and get the newest card. Just tell them your old one is worn out. You should have gotten a new one though in the upgrade box...I did. Did you find the user manual in that little compartment in the top of the box? That is where the new sim card is as well. Mine didn't work with the old card so I put the new one in, called tmobile and activated it. everything works now!
Well I didn't buy the phone new through tmobile hence the not getting a new sim card but okay thanks I'll have to do that

Didn't either dude, but the problem is the dang throttle, but I'm extreamly happy with T-Mobiles 4G. Best out of all IMO, as my friends on AT&T are constently looking for Wi-Fi or turning off sync, then my friend who has a HTC Evo 3D is pissed because his 3G speeds are around 1Mbps and his 4G WiMax is around 5Mbps. And now Sprints switching to LTE Really lame, only one I haven't heard about is Verizon, but I know they have data caps, so I'm pretty stoked to be on T-Mobile.
My friends Thunderbolt averages about 20 mbps If not more.

No, that's the lie the carriers have been perpetuating...
Aosp reflects the true signal..
H+ = H+ which is basically 3.5g, what has been falsely shoved down our throats as 4g.
LTE is the true new technology, thus actual 4g, which is why aosp (the OS built by Google without carrier involvement) states such.
OP, those are 4g speeds... perhaps you using those ad blockers was a coincidence and the towers in your area have been upgraded, or did you mess with your apn at all?
otherwise I don't see how updating the hosts file would suddenly give you 4g.
You sure your not getting the LTE from at&t now?.I found this for you...

I am on tmobile and it works pretty good I get 4g in some areas, it just depends on how strong the 1900 mgz signal is in your area.

Like the previous guy said you get edge speeds unless tmobile has refarmed the 1900 MHZ in your area for HSPA speeds.
Below is the list of cities where tmobile has refarmed the 1900 MHZ.

The modem is the same chip as the nexus 4 and note2, so I would bet if you use their radios and ril, you would have hspa and hspa+.

Hey guys! Just got my phone yesterday and got it unlocked. For some reason though I'm not getting Data at all. I should be getting something since I live in Boca Raton, FL and that's not too far from Ft. Lauderdale, one of the cities listed on the link Kirdroid provided. On my previous phone (HD2) I got HSPA speeds in my area. You guys have any idea of what could it be? Or any other tips on what network settings i should have?

Yes that is exactly what I was missing. Thank you very much! Unfortunately I'm getting edge here where I work, but the connection here was irregular as well on my HD2, so I hope it's just the area. When I get home later I'll give an update.
Thanks again!

Wow the third option made my speeds faster! Thanks I was having issues with connectivity but that seemed to fix it up!
Update:
The first settings worked best for me. Although the HSPA+ speeds are somewhat irregular on the area where I live, it works great on the neighboring area.
Thanks for the help samomamo !

Does your phone stay connected at all times? Mine disconnects from the network rather frequently for no reason and the data connection is spotty on certain apps.

My connection is spotty too, but that really depends on the area. On areas closer to the Antenna it stays connected most of the time. But where I live my experience is close to yours.
I am on T-Mobile, did the Nexus conversion, and I can confirm that I am unable to get 3G on the 1700mHz band. I live next to a T-Mobile tower, and my last phone (TMOUS HTC One S) got 3G signal without a problem, so I know it isn't the area. I am only able to get EDGE and I have the Nexus 4 modem M9615A-CEFWMAZM_2.0.1700.33.
Sshshshsh! This illegal! No unlocking!!

To you guys who live in Florida:
I spent my day today in Miami Beach and the hspa+ speeds there are constant and stellar there. 4-5 mbps download and 2-3mbps upload. That kind of proves my assumption that it's a matter of the area and not the phone itself.

Miami is probably already refarmed with the 1900mHz band. Where I live about 40 minutes from Tampa, I do not get 3G from my home, which is near a T-Mobile tower.
