oops wrong thread!
They might just be doing maintenance on the network. Sometimes it get finicky like that. So when does your Prime arrive?
I was hoping to get some direction here...
Purchased the SGSII about a month ago....it works really well when connected to wifi...I mean, it screams (in terms of speeds)...but while trying to work off 3G everything just slooooows down...I just did a speed test on 3G:
284kbps down and 28 kbps up
I am on Sprint with the unlimited data plan....what gives? Unfortunately, I am unable to give a comparative analysis b/c my wife's EVO is having issues on its own...and I can't download the speedtest.net app. That's a whole other issue...but anyone have any ideas on what the 3G speed issue can be?
I appreciate your help

The GT-I9100 won't work on Sprint - it gets no service whatsoever on Sprint.
If you have an SPH-D710, you're in the wrong forum.

Go to the forum home page (not the I9100 home page) and search for Epic 4g Touch. Careful, there is also an "Epic 4g", which is different.
Never seen this speeds before especially during the day :0 seems like sprint is doing something with network vision and its working lol

I understand that you're excited, but there isn't a need to make a thread for something like this. We don't want to be flooded with threads regarding 3G speeds because it just clogs up the boards.
That being said, I'm jealous because I never get speeds like that.
I'd suggest posting this in this thread instead.
good thing 3g is becoming useable since this phone sucks at lte connectivity in its current state.
Please use one of the already opened threads discussing network vision.
Thread closed.
when I check my data speed, it says that I'm running on 3g... I thought Titan's are 4g? MOD EDIT

Well 4G is HSPA+ .. so unless your Signal says "H" you aren't connecting to the 4G signal. Don't blame the phone blame who ever decided that your area is not worth the money to setup a proper HSPA tower.
And there's no need to throw the F bomb on the title I sometimes like to pretent xda memebers are all properly educated individuals

thank you very much sir, i guess where i live is just a "peice of crap". thank you again.
OP, maybe you do live in area that the speeds are not to your liking, but please refrain from using the wording you have chosen. Forums Rules are set forth....so you have been Warned, Sir.
Thank You and Thread Closed.
I have been searching all across google for weeks on a way to get rid of this horrible edge (2g) and have found just about nothing.
But my point in making this thread is to potentially find an answer, or share my findings on any/all info I have stumbled upon.
So upon my findings I have found out that most users get angry or flame the question of T-Mobile on Verizon BUT yes indeed it does work.
I have gotten Voice,SMS, and 2G to work (using the 30$ a month unlimtext/data and 100 min plan) I Have not tested MMS but should work on 2g.
I did find this, it's been asked but said that only 2g will work.

With that linked I do believe that there is a way to activate the 1700MHZ frequency in our phones for the HSPA but I have not seen it done. after all the hardware is there just not the software.
I have seen it done on the AT&T S4 though.

So why can't our Verizon galaxy s4's do this and pick up ALL of t-mobile's HSPA frequencies and JUST the refarmed ones?
In past T-Mobile experiance they suck on rolling out new technologies unless your in NYC or a major city.
Then I stumbled upon a WIP for the AWS band on HSPA AND LTE (exciting!) but it appears to have died down. (oh no! D

and with that I have ran out of information and now apologize for crap posting on this glorious forum. if you have any helpful information getting AWS for HSPA on our phones PLEASE post it below! I want to see this phone get full use of it's GSM/UMTS radio! :good::good:
I haven't tried this but sounds legit let me know if it works. Supposed to get 4g and everything working.
#1 Insert new sim then restart
#2 Go to your network settings and make sure you are set to global or gsm
#3 Go to apn settings and hit menu and create new apn, call it what you want.
#4 Change its apn to: fast.t-mobile.com
#5 Change the MMSC (same menu) to: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
#6 Restart your phone

Let me clarify one more thing btw (not saying your wrong just one thing i should have added) 4g DOES work for t-mobile on the verizon galaxy s4 but only in certain areas and like i said not everybody lives in a big city and it would be nice to have AWS to get the hspa that is almost EVERYWHERE. so with that said this is about AWS on our phone.

Definitely interested in this, thinking of jumping ship to T-Mobile, their LTE is spotty here but HSPA+ is pretty widespread.

see the only problem is that you will only get the HSPA if it is refarmed on our device. and here in walkersville MD thats not gonna happen for me anytime soon, neither is LTE when i can use it this summer.
What about AT&T HSPA+? I wouldn't go with them, but maybe one of the MVNO's that use the their tower's
I was on AIRVOICE for sometime and I got HSPA in the basement of my house. not once did I get edge like I do on t-mobile. so you should get HSPA as often as anybody on an AT&T phone. I always got redirected when I tried to connect on to data on airvoice though but that was their problem. I know it works.
Has anyone made headway in this field? I too have a VZW GS4 and bought a Tmo sim and can only get EDGE. 40Kbps won't do.
40KBps! Lucky! Over here in walkersville MD tmobile hates us and Hasnt reamed for 4g or gave us the new LTE (which the mj5 radio enables btw, yiu can get LTE with it! )

Can you give me the step by step to install hyperdriver on my vzw galaxy S4 i545. I have it rooted but I can't seem to get the rom uninstall/install to work for me. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 sch-i545 android 4.3 build number ending in MK2.
Just wondering couldn't you flash the full image of a SGH-M919 and call it a day? Wouldn't the software tell the hardware to reconfigure or has that just ended in softbricking? - I'm on T-Mo got dropped by Sprint for overuse; girlfriend uses SCH-I545, (It would have been nice if I didn't have to sell my SPH-L720 to switch carriers!)
T-Mobile LTE with 4.4 apps and features running on Verizone SCH-I545
