[Q] How's your 4G? Post your screenshots (rep your endz!)
Don't know if this has already been made a thread.
I'm sure we're all excited about HSPA+ 42, but what speeds are you getting in your area at the moment?
I live in SF - where all tech lives, but I still don't find the fastest speeds there (12 Mbps on avg). A multitude of factors exist.
However, Chicago's been the fastest for me... so far.

Screenshot of Speedtest.net from Lincoln Park, Chicago.

Range is all over in south orange county, ca

I tried to get my fastest on one screen. It was funny cause all the ones that said 8-9mb all said umts.

I'm pretty sure they are 4g speeds. The guy above you is 4g speeds which are quite impressive. There's a cell tower under "type" which means it's not the WiFi speed.
Mine have been around 8-9Mbps average with certain places getting me up to 13Mbps.

Yea, im dumb. I was looking at the status bars and not thinking the screens were from previous network tests. My bad

I had to go and look under each one, because I had two that were wifi but you wouldn't have been able to tell. My wifi speed tests were 20 and 18mb.

The speedtest results from my OP were all 4g, not wifi, just to clear up any confusion.

Stronger signal and higher speeds...?

Since I got to work this morning me and all of my Sprint subscribing coworkers are experiencing better signal strength and higher speeds than usual and is especially noticeable in places notorious for crappy signal... The same at my apartment.
Either a new tower went up.. Which is doubtful... Or is this part of the rollout of the system upgrades?

Damn, I am waiting to make the jump from VZW to this phone.... With speeds like the ones that are being reported I don't know if that's even logical.
My 4g is flying. Usually I only get about 6mbps and right now I just hit 14, with 1 bar. 3g is more or less the same

I'm only talking 3G.... And we have horribly overcast skys and rain which usually murders signals... I've got a good feeling about this... I'm afraid to update my PRL lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
How fast are you talking? Like normal 3G speeds or faster?
Mine aren't better, but something is going on. Signal has been very erratic on both my GSII and my 3D. In the process of working on towers?
I'm lucky if I get 2 mb on 4g in St. louis.

3G speeds still, but, respectable. I ordinarily pull 200kbps to 400kbps with 0 to 1 bar at my desk. I'm getting 600 to 1300kbps with 1 to 3 bars.... Buried deep in a steel building. Outside I'm seeing full bars and hover around 2mbps where I usually get 600kbps ish with 2 or 3 bars. Heavy overcast with moderate rain.

I'd be interested to see how the speeds hold up later on in the day. Mine are always respectable in the morning and then go to sh*t in the afternoon hours.
Well, how are they holding up?

btw, my 3g on speedtest typically registers like 50kbps, but in actuality, I do way better on app dls and webpages. I do trust the 4g readouts, though, which tend to be around 4-5 mbps.

call tech support, or better get them on chat. It's easier.
....tell them you have abysmally slow data speeds and want a data refresh. Every time I have activated a phone on Sprint since the E3D came out (that's been like 6 or 7 phones, lol) I have had to do this because of ABSURDLY slow data speeds....and this helped a ton.
If that doesn't help then maybe it's a hardware defect...if that doesn't help then the Sprint blows in your area.
Yup me and my friend are getting almost double the 3g speed and better 4g speed for the past week or two
Wow...i spend so much time on wifi that i havent really noticed, but i just installed speedtest and ran a battery of tests...holy crap

I'm not sure where people that are getting better data live. If it's in a major city it would make sense though. I would bet that places like NYC, LA, Miami ect may be getting the network beefed up in anticipation of the Iphone.
The last thing Sprint needs is to get crappy reviews on the Iphone due to a sluggish network.
My 3g is next to useless. And I live in San Antonio.

geez I'd kill for those speeds. In Denver, I hover around 200Kb/s down and 100Kb/s up. And usually 200-350ms latency.
My Evo OG takes about 1.3-1.6 DL and .93 UL on the reg at work all day. I will hopefully have this phone sometime this week when they start to ship and I'll let you know my variance, if any.

Yeah well if you run speed tests in the late night/early morning hours, of course you're going to get good numbers. The network isnt as congested as the daytime and normal evening hours when people are awake.
Suburbs of San Antonio, Tx...normally weak 3G
(Using Sprint EVO 4G LTE)
On a good day 3G:
.90 Mbps down and .60 Mbps up with 290 ms ping
Rarely got 4g wimax to connect on my Og EVO in the burbs.
FWIW...Lte is lighting up off and on...assume testing as we are one of first cities to get Lte. Speedtest all over the place:
Best 8.65 Mbps down and 8.98 Mbps up and 113 ms ping
Lowest 5.22 Mbps down and 5.27 Mbps up and 110 ms ping
Also notice stronger 3G signal but not really faster speeds while they are testing. Would be thrilled if I could get consistent lte anywhere near early test speeds...especially after people start using it.
Oh yeah, Sprint is flying in northern California. :crying:

Lol, the connection strength isn't too shaby... It does disconnect often but that is because number one, the coverage is still somewhat spotty and two this phone has that "best connection" thing where it automatically picks the best coverage spectrum. So when i'm at home it always wants to pick my wifi since it's the strongest signal... the pic was actually taken while driving which was even more impressive... i wish there was a way to manually enable LTE like Wimax because sometimes you're in an area where u know there is 4g coverage cuz u got it b4 but the phone may not be scanning when u happen to drive thru that area. But once it is more widely deployed it will be like 3g where u can get it everywhere and provide a stable connection.

LTE is the next step 4th generation in wireless radio data transmission(although none of the carriers are actually providing true 4g speeds yet, the capacity is there)... unlike wimax it doesn't have a completely separate antenna that has to be manually switched on and off... its a different radio frequency but runs off of the same antenna as your standard 3g if im not mistaken... eHRPD tells the phone when to switch from 3g(CDMA) to LTE... as stated above once the deployment is widespread it will be a stable connection just like 3g... but thats years at minimum b4 we see that kind of coverage...

Don't waste your time moving lol. I live in Atlanta and its so spotty we might as well not have it. I don't get it at home or work. A few spots as you drive come on but what good is that? Quite disappointing really. However when i did get it and stopped, i got a 35meg test speed.
In Joliet, IN for business and I'm getting between 17 and 20 down and 4 to 6 up. Not bad considering I'm not getting anything in North Dallas where I live even though the Sprint Coverage map has me completely covered in LTE.....Sprint Coverage map sucks to be honest.
I have yet to see 4g LTE in my status bar and I live in SF area. Is there a toggle bar somewhere or in the settings area? I'm using blazer ROM

I got the first one at 49th street yesterday and the second pic at columbus circle this AM.
I've hit better peak DCHSPA+ speeds around 20-25mbps in some areas but it's great that they just updated the subways and it's fitted with LTE already.
These are all on the fast.t-mobile apn.
The thing that's most notable on LTE is that the upload speeds are >3.5 Mbps (the cap I've always hit while on HSPA+).
Buddy of mine was seeing in the 20mbits in Houston this weekend. Hoping to see speeds a little faster than that when it rolls out to San Antonio this month or next.

Sure! These were all done on TW. I switched to CM over the weekend, and will try to get some tests this afternoon, in case.
And details on one of them -
--Mike.
It seems as though the LTE speeds aren't all that much better than HSPA+ speeds.
I hit 21.1 down/5.2 up last week, and my market is only HSPA+ at the moment.
Here's one I just ran
Here's mine in San Jose, CA. The 1st pic is at home & the 2nd is out where I get better reception.
Called TMO CS requesting a signal booster but was told I'll have to wait until summer time since they're out of stock.
