38kb a sec data.. i've seen it as low as 2kb/s
Service was full bars. One dropped as i was taking the screenshot..
Should have just kept T-MO. But the allure of 3D got me..
My parents use sprint, i use Verizon..
and Ive also noticed their speeds to be pathetically slow.
nice job sprint! lol
Funny thing is, the only time I EVER have issues with my 3G speeds are
1) At home when I can always use Wi-Fi
2) At school when I don't need 3G for much anyway
If the service in your area isn't enough for you, then you should switch to another carrier. I wish I could switch to Verizon, but they're more expensive and don't have unlimited data.
Here are my speeds, testing around in various places (school, my house, my girlfriend's house, etc.)

Not only are the speeds of those i know with sprint phones pathetic..
But the coverage sucks!
4 people in my car...
2 with verizon phones, and 2 with sprint phones..
Drive 30 minutes away to some nice hiking trails...
Before we can even get there..
Both sprint phones have ZERO bars, and a phone call or text cannot be accomplished.
Yet, both verizon phones stay connected without an issue, and keep all bars. lol
Yeah,
"sprint rocks" my ass.

I'm in the East bay Area and its just like that out here Bro. I stay mostly because of M2M minutes and the fact that I have 6 lines on my family plan. I just wish data was better. At my office I am all excited if I hit 300kb, usually in the 100 range. At home I hit like 600-700, but use wifi so it;s a moot point. In the middle of my kids soccer field....1.7mb...seriously...WTF? lol

So the RTSP and HTTP changing them to 0 and 0.0.0.0 gave you worse speeds?
Sprint blows, i have the same issues in michigan with full bars. They are over congested in my area and don't seem to be in any rush to expand thier 3g network(or introduce 4g). At my other house i get low to average speeds though, also with full bars. IMO, you should never see speeds lower than 800 kbps with 3g coverage. Unfortunately, at my house on the east side of Michigan, the data is frequently between 400-800 kbps, though that is still much higher than the speeds i get when im at my apartment on the west side of Michigan.
keep in mind that the competition is almost always pulling 1500-2500 kbps in areas like mine.

Swyped from mah 3vo!
sprint is the only company where I can get the best service at my place. It all depends on locations you can have them but like a router for 4g 3g service in your house.
LOL at least you get "decent" speeds. On my old TP2 I was getting 600 kb now with the 3D I can't get past 32 kb on 3g. If it wasn't for Wimax near me I would be with big red.....sero plan helps. Seems like I got a fancy paper weight when I'm not in a WiMAX area...... Unlimited data so slow you can't use it.
I was killing these speeds with my T-Mobile 4G.....

I live in the sw burbs of Chicago, and I am getting anywhere from 4-16 down, and 2-9 up; coming from Sprint, where you were lucky to get 1 meg down, I am totally blown away by these speeds...but, I guess its all relative!
Just got this phone sunday, and I am very impressed so far
How deep in the city are you tho...
I found that anywhere downtown, in the loop area or between buildings, 4G speeds were terrible..something like 3-6...but when I go more than 10 miles south, north or west of downtown, I was hitting 22-25!
I was in Naperville a few weeks ago and will be there again next week and am dreading having to use LTE because with it being sloth-like slow in Chicagoland, the LTE will drain my battery even more than better equipped LTE areas which already put a heavy burden on the battery.
Just hoping the hotel I'm staying at has Wifi like the last one did.... lol

Coming from Sprint, you're used to watching paint dry faster than you can down/upload a 5kb file.
Not so with us ATT peeps. Trust me, ATT is not without it's well-documented problems also, but a major metro area like Chicago having slow-ass-sloth LTE is beyond unacceptable when the bar of precedent has been set so much higher, in much smaller areas. Charlotte for instance!!!
I'm not comparing Sprint w/ATT for LTE speeds. I'm comparing Chicago with Charlotte of all frigging places, and Chicago comes in WAY second best there.
That's a joke no matter how you slice it.
-Ryan
yeah, I guess its all relative; I assume I will get spoiled over time, and have problems with 5-15 meg d/l speeds//
Fortunately, in my home office on wifi, I get almost 40 megs down, so, in every way, especially coming from Sprint, I an thrilled with my speeds.
I havent rooted yet, only having the phone for a few days, and I want to learn all about it first, but I can only imagine how it will be rooted, tweaked, and dialed in completely!

Very nice read, thanks. I just dont understand how some other guys are getting 40+Mbs DL and 20+Mbs UL speeds, makes us here in Chicago look like we are on dial up. I know Chicago was rated as slowest ATT LTE in the nation but this article says we are on par with what we are getting. Either way I am happy with the speed but its a drug we all wanna go faster faster.

unless you see actual screenies of people getting that kind of speed, I wouldn't take much stock in it

Sent from my EVO using XDA
Everyone knew or should of known before getting the phone that lte was not up yet and you would be on the 3G network.
If your sales person didn't tell you this then I would take it up with your salesperson. If you bought the phone online then sorry about your luck, lesson learned. ( Hopefully )
Either way don't knock Sprint for something they have made clear. It was never stated to have 4G WiMax. Only 3G and lte when available.

You brought the EVO LTE thinking you might get decent 3g speeds? I'm sure you're smarter then that or am I giving you to much credit? This is an old subject we should be discussed somewhere else.
I completely knew what I was getting. However, I did not expect slower 3G than I had with the OF EVO. Nor .MMS that don't download. LTE will be here soon but I'd like just a but of utility out of 3G...

All you guys complaining about 3g speed ever heard of the Network Vision?
BE PATIENT. Sprint is in the process of improving their entire network. You may not see the improvements yet, but trust me they are working on it.
I live in Aurora, CO and there are two towers here that are as opposite as night and day. One is totally bogged down and speeds are 200 kbps Down and 200 kbps Up with 400 ping. About 3 miles away, another tower gives me 1200 kbps down and 800 kbps up with 100 ping.
They are working on it, just have patience.

I've been patient with Sprint for over 12 years. I get that it is coming. The point is 3G is worse now than it was with the OG. And this is with new towers on 3G in the area. Simply pathetic especially considering I work and live next to a major international airport and large technology corridor.

I like Sprint. The whole point is speeds seem worse with the EVOLTE than on the old device. It is either an issue with the EVOLTE or the network is getting worse rather than better.

You could always call the Sprint direct customer service line, 877-775-4886, and make a formal complaint about said speeds. See if they can give you some freebies if not some information regarding the Network Vision roll-out in your local area. Who knows, they might throw in some credit or something.

That might be my best bet. I was cool with 3G on the OG - hardly ever used WiMax since it was so spotty. I am simply at a loss for how this is playing out when everyone else seems to be having much better luck.
My 3g speeds are about the same as they were on my og evo, and most of the time they suck. The part that really sucks for me is that I might notice that my speeds are really slow and run a speed test, and confirm it, then an hour, or day later, the speed might be flying.
As an example, I just ran a speed test because it seemed slow, I got 203 kbps down and 506 kbps up. Yesterday I noticed it seemed faster than normal, so I did a speed test from my desk at work, the same location as the test I just did today. I got 2389 kbps down and 925 kbps up, by far the fastest I have ever seen it here.
At home I rarely see speeds over 100 kbps, yet just the other day I got about 1000 kbps down there. The bottom line for me is, I wouldn't care if the speeds weren't great if they were just consistent. It sucks when I need to do something quick and the data connection is crawling, which is the case more often than not.
I had a problem right out of the box. My ping was over 800 and was getting under 100 down. Weird thing wad that up was at like 300. I had this problem with my 3# so I called sprint and asked for my msl. Enter ##72786#. Enter your msl and then go to menu reset. It will reactivate. My speeds went up to over 1000. Worth a shot for u guys. Interesting sidenote... When I called in the tech told me to power down the phone and remove the battery. I let him know that these phones don't have removable batteries. Amazing that some techs don't even know about their flagship devices...

I ran that and updated profile and PRL again and I see some improvement. Sprint acknowledged an outage but it sounds like it covers Baltimore, DC and VA which doesn't narrow much for me. It is also off peak hours so we'll see how it works tomorrow. Regardless, thanks for the code.
is anyone getting really slow data speeds in Jax FL ??? i used to be at 12-14mb/s on 4g and now it's like 3mb/s - maybe they are doing work on the towers again for LTE???

Sprint provided enough information to everyone about the LTE rollout and who will be getting it first. Based on that info, if you still went ahead and purchased an LTE phone from sprint, than it isn't sprint's fault. They won't rush this just for you.
30-50% data speed increase...
So, 30-50% of .3 mbps is like .37-.45mbps? Hmmm... So, you essentially polish a turd, and it's still a turd... OH! I GET IT!

Yeah.... However, most reports of testing were coming from Texas and Atlanta. Sprint's HQ is in Kansas City. So, that probably explains it. They have upgraded a bunch of cells in Baltimore, so I would guess that should get lit up shortly thereafter. I am waiting for the DC area myself.

From the Vice President, John DuPree himself. Watch the video in the post.
FWIW info...
This last Sunday and early morning Monday Sprint was apparently testing LTE in San Antonio area. Lte lit up on my phone off and on...had chance to run several speed test...as follows:
Worst up/down was 3-5 Mbps range
Best up/down was 6-8 Mbps range
My connections on outskirts-suburbs of San Antonio is usually pretty mediocre with 3G...average is .5 to .6 Mbps down and .3 Mbps up. If I could get close to the type of speeds I saw during the testing I'd be thrilled. Probably even better in city closer to towers. Sad it's delayed till 15 Jul but something to look forward to.

I thought Baltimore was supposed to be in the 1st round of LTE rollouts...

Yes I don't understand. Sprint.com also says Baltimore will be first with all these other cities yet this announcement doesn't include it?

Darn I was hoping for something by the end of this month, but July sounds good to me!

Sprint provided enough information to everyone about the LTE rollout and who will be getting it first. Based on that info, if you still went ahead and purchased an LTE phone from sprint, than it isn't sprint's fault. They won't rush this just for you.

end of discussion right here.
i bought this device for the hardware and tinkering and fun of it... not because i was expecting a miracle from sprint to get LTE out in a hurry.
Crap, and I will be in Houston only next weekend

If I can get those numbers (Even the worst case) sustainably throughout the metroplex (Dallas/Ft Worth), I'll be ecstatic.
With LTE comes network vision, a all new system with greater backhaul, wider coverage and far better penetration. Essentially same as Verizon's network, the LTE should also be on par with Verizon's as well.
I'll be paying attention to Baltimore. If its not doing good, no way I'm signing up for 2 long years
