I am in Austin, TX and the data speeds on Sprint is very slow, I can barely download text based sites.
Is Sprint doing anything about this or are they one of those companies who takes your money but does not provide the needed services.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1, Slow Data Speeds on Sprint
My IPhone 4S along with my wife's phone and our 4th gen iPods, have excellent DL speeds but horrible UL speeds on average .11 Kbps but on iPad I runs about 2.7 Mbps UL speed. I am using a linksys E3000 and have tried everything I have read here and on other threads on other sites as to different router settings. I have tried even what one thread suggested as to disabling auto clock no luck. The one thing I have not done is the static ip because I don't know how to do it.

1.Internet speeds are slow around 50 to 60 kbps whereas it used to be around 120kbps
I have did a security wipe and re-loaded operating system software but prob still exsists I have turned internet browser configurations that might cause it to be slow Did a battery pull. MTN-SA is my service provider and they confirmed nothing is wrong on thier side
I have tried all I could think of, clearing cache out, checking for conflicting devices, tried uninstalling some apps I think my be the culprit, rebooting the device, the router, and the Modem etc..... The problem still occurs, I'm not sure if this started since the 5.1 update or prior, all I can say I only noticed it a few days ago, when I decided to do a Speedtest, I know I have done Speedtest before, and never noticed this issue.
Once I'm connected to WiFi and my Bluetooth is turned on, my WiFi speeds are slow and bounce from 2Mb's to 5 Mb's, and when I say bounces the speeds go up and down during the process. As soon as I turn Bluetooth off the speeds are back above the 30 Mb's.
I have tried many of the recommendations around, but have yet to find a solution, Is it a LP issue ?? any other device I have connected I have no issues, I even have a back up Huawei, on LP, and have no issues when BT is turned on.
Heck, even my wife's 1st Gen Moto X has no issues. Since I only realized this recently, today when I get to work I will try it when I get to work and see if it does the same on WiFi there when BT is turned on.
this is really more of a question for sprint than for apple. but i'm asking here to see if others have the same issue.is it just me, or are others on sprint service experiencing slow video performance (from Internet, facebook, or any video streaming app)? both with and without wi-fi. after resetting network connection, it was better for rest of the day, then right back to slow and resetting

What is your average data connection speeds? Yesterday I noticed that my speeds are severely lacking, especially when comparing to a HTC Inspire.When I called AT&T to inquire if my speeds were normal, the lady said no.After looking she said my SIM card number was wrong, again.This has become a frequent answer to most of the hiccups I've had since February.Side note, with this recurring SIM issue keep me from getting updated or will that be based on the IEMI?
View 3 Replies View RelatedEven though I have an unlimited (?) data plan for my iPhone4 from Sprint, unless I am mistaken I would get faster transfer rates using wifi instead of their 3g carrier signal. Is that correct and if so can I set my iPhone4 to use wifi preferably if available or does it do that already?

I bought my sprint iPhone 4s because AT&T is throttling my data connection. I having been using my AT&T razor for a data connection since before the term "tethering" was invented. For those of you who are thinking of switching to sprint because AT&Ts is throttling your unlimited data plan.....don't...the data connection with sprint and the iPhone 4s is actually slower than my old AT&T razor throttled and the sprint plan is more significantly more expensive. For this reason and because ever since I downloaded my first app I have been spammed relentlessly and because Siri is really a beta app and because the iPhone locks up on occation, I am giving my iPhone back to sprint.

Recently I had my Spring HTC Touch Diamond modified and programmed to work with the Page Plus Cellular carrier, which uses the Verizon network. I believe the guy who did this for me used these programs to do so. Anyway, the problem I'm having is that although my phone is active on the network and I have a data plan active, I can't actually use it for some reason. I've entered the correct username/password (from what I've researched) and it still hasn't worked. I've tried to fix it myself for a few months to no avail (I came across the link about during my research and that's how I concluded that these were the programs installed on my phone). If anyone could help me with alternatives or maybe show me something I might be overlooking.

Since I bought it three months ago, my iPhone 4S has loaded data very slow. The phone itself is fast; programs pop up pretty quick. But the data transfer freakishly slow. It can take me six or seven minutes to update my email. For a while, I couldn't access the App store for maybe two days. Now here comes the ultimate smack in the face: I bought the MLB At Bat app so I could stream live radio broadcasts of the games, but it won't actually pull up those broadcasts (it takes a while to "authorize" then ultimately says "playback error.") Is this normal?I am on Sprint; I do not have a WiFi connection.

I did update to 5.1 this morning and the data speed for internet and app gets really slow. I can not use internet and apps like usual at all.
I called att customer service twice and they just said there is no problem. I reset my phone several times already and nothing get better.
Now i have 4G network sign next to the signal bar and is that because of my phone (4gs) doesn't work for 4g network?

after arguing with sprint for hours and trying to "legally" get PAM added to my account with no avail, i got tired of arguing and hung up and decided to see if i could get around it on a BB while still having a decent plan.well you can.
These instructions are at your own risk, and while i was able to do it to both a curve and a pearl, and im assuming since all BB's are about the same it should work on the tour and 8830, it's at your own risk.
I am not posting this from my normal username, as it's a little risky for me to do so so please know that i've had plenty of posts on here and been around since '04 Ok so here goes.Step 1: Install QPST 2.7 build 215 (this is very important, no other one will work, find it yourself )
Step 2: Obtain your MSL/SPC from Sprint (if you dont already have it)Step 3: Get your PowerVision Username (if you dont know it, you can do ##xxxxxx and press call from the homescreen x=msl/spc, it's the [URL] in the list)Step 4: Start BBDM and QPST Configuration at the same time, then once you add the port to QPST, selct "Service Programming" from the drop down menu.
Step 5: Select your phone in the list, dont worry it will act like it doesnt know the chipset model, select SURF6300 BB from the list and say OK
Step 6: go to the MIP tab Step 7: Create a new MIP profile that looks just like this (except in the NAI and Tethered NAI, you'll enter your PV username) -- once you're done you will have two profiles, the first one im assuming is for provisioning and i wouldnt mess with it.
Step 8: click "OK" then "write to phone", it will give an error about the model changing on com X, do you want to close the connection?, say NO it will write anyway, then you will get another error about the phone not responding.. that's because it rebooted.Step 9: once the phone reboots, create a manual DUN connection (i assume if you're on here and understand how to use PST you can make a DUN connection ) with the connection as follows:
Phone number: #777 Username/password fields are blank..
I have the iphone 4s and recently found out that my network allows me to tether other products to the iphone by using the Personal Hotspot option, and the data is included in my mobile bundle. I am looking at purchasing the new iPad, and perhaps just going for the wifi version as I can then use my iphone personal hotspot when another wifi network is not available.
My network is Orange UK - who have recently announced that they are to have a full 4g network up and running by the end of the year. If my iphone picks up a 4g signal, will this automatically make the wifi hotpost created by the phone for the iPad quicker than if it was connected to my phone with a 3g signal?

Could the retina display slowdown download speeds?
I'm, by no means an engineer, but in a certain sense with rendering higher pixelated images, this makes sense to me...No? Maybe the new OS will help with the rendering... I dunno.
Got my new 9900 a couple of weeks ago, besides the horrible battery life, When roaming, the data transfer rate (on 3G or 2G) deteriorates to a halt. Takes several minutes to download a web page. It even looses its connectivity to BBM at times. None of these issues occur when I am at home country. I am wondering if anyone else experiences similar issue and if there is any solution to the problem. The primary reason to have a BB is for its always ON reliability which unfortunately have been lacking on the "NOT SO READY FOR PRIME TIME" 9900 device.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've researched my problem on other posts, and still not completely sure if my problem is unique or not.I have an unlocked Sprint 9630 I grabbed from our IT department before a trip to Turkey. It was supposedly deactivated - turns out it is still active on a Sprint number.
I've replaced the Sprint SIM with an Avea Turkish prepaid SIM that has data and Blackberry capability. It works fine for phone and text, but no ability to register the email with Avea Blackberry. Tech support there unable to determine the problem (unable to connect to server is the error message, both with phone and online).If I can deactive the Sprint number will that help? Or am I just out of luck.
http://www.facebook.com/ATT?v=app_10442206389 Wow, they claim they have measures set in place so that affected customers continue to have normal 3G uplink speeds. This is just pathetic. AT&T is such a failing miserable company. Yes, I will leave them on ETF when there is word of a Verizon iPhone.When was sub 100kbps "NORMAL" for any 3G upload speeds?
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo i updated a few days ago to 5.1.1 Sprint service! A couple differences/ problems are: #1 Seems to me my data signal isnt good. It shows the LTE signal but when im surfing the next or even on ebay seems to just have the searching circle. then maybe a min or so later it will go. Ill surf again and data will just stop. It seems the data isn't communicating with the phone intermittently
#2 My text sending is way way slow now. Before update it would send pretty much within second of me hitting send. Now it displays the sending for a good 30 seconds! Sometimes even longer.
I have restarted multiple times/ update PRL/ Updated profile multiple times.
My phone charges sooooooo slow when I plug it into the USB on my computer with the data cable. It takes a couple of hours to go from low to 50%. This just started happening and.
It doesn't appear that anything is wrong with the cable - I've only used it a few times. A lightning bolt is appearing and it is charging for sure. It hasn't always done this - or at least I don't thinks so. I've backed up and restored data on my desktop through the USB without a problem.
I only had this phone for 2 months and my phone is going slow like right know its freezing while I type, and my game center isn't loading any more

does anyone else experience slow tethering speeds with EDGE? when viewing the wifi tethering app, the speeds are showing up as being faster than they are on my computer. i don't get 3G coverage here, so that's not the issue, it's just the EDGE speeds compared to my HTC Tilt.is there any reason it would be slower? or is there something i need to do? i flashed cyanogen, etc. successfully, and tethering works, it's just really slow. i have full bars as well.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make some sense out of the slow modem speeds I am getting on the 3G network. Below is a comparison between the different methods tried and the results. The SIM was transferred into a Sierra wireless card, then the speeds took off. All tests were tried at the same time of day, to the same servers, with IP header compression turned off for the BB connection, all on the 3G networks. I even tried a Rogers SIM for comparison where I could. Changing "modem speeds" on the link to the BB made no difference.
Normally I may just accept the differences, but I am looking to have about 25 users connect this way, to save on having a PCMCIA card or USB, as well as a separate data account. I have connected my notebook to the 9700 via Bluetooth and a USB 2.0 connection. My 9700 is connected to the Telus network, software version 5.0.0.442 (726)...
I have a BB 9700 Bold. I was testing the data transfer speed of it using an app called "NetWorkSpeed" from the app store. No matter how fast my network connection was, it seemed like the Bold was capped at an average maximum speed of around 250 kbps, both uploads or downloads. This is using either a 3G connection, or my home Wi-Fi. My home Wi-Fi should be able to do 6000 kbps downloads, and 800 kbps uploads; but the Bold never got anywhere near those. Now this is a speed test only done to the device, not to a tethered computer or anything like that. A tethered computer seems to be able to transfer faster through the Bold than the Bold can transfer to itself. Is this a real limitation with the Bold, or is something else going on here?
BTW, I tethered my PC to my Bold, using the Bold as its modem, and I was able to get 1.9 Mbps/330 kbps with it. Not as fast as my home Wi-Fi, but respectable. But much, much faster than the Blackberry can transfer to itself.
To take full advantage of a 4G network must the device be designed for a 4G network.most new 3G smartphones indicate 4G compatible but does that mean they will perform at 4G speeds? If the samrtphone must be 4G does anyone know when 4G devices will be released?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was experiencing slowdowns on applicationss accessing the SD card for storage and caching. Among them are browsers like Dolphin, applications like Twidroyd, and news applications like Huffington Post. It helped with some of the applications by setting their storage options to internal memory, but the best solution so far, without rooting your phone and adding some MODACO mod, is to go to Settings, go to Managing Applications, go to Running Services, look for something that mentions DRM, then kill it.
Killing this does not harm the system, as I tested this already, and it speeds up access to applications that cache on the internal SD card. Of course, another way is to disable all SD access, and everything flies. But I find killing DRM services works well. DRM services is not part of the standard Android set, since I don't find this on the HTC phones, so killing it won't harm anything. Killing off Samsung's own slow ware such as Daily Briefings and the social Feeds widget may also help speed up the UI further, but on the other hand, these widgets can also be useful for some people.
I was sold a phone I was told that could go as fast as an iPhone on the regular network and even faster when I was in a 4G market.I have measured my speeds with an app and the first week they were fine. I still have the 4mbps down and 200+ kbps up logs.So I stopped worrying about it.After my 30 day return period ended and before. 57 my speeds dropped to the 1mbps down, .9kbps up range.I've complained and been told that a fix is on the way but come on... Two month is long enough to fix your screw ups.Give me my money so I can get a phone that will really connect to the network. And don't blame the network.
