I just tested inside Pittsburgh and only got 7 down 3 up. When in the outskirts I was getting 11 5 speeds. Just wanted to show you that being in the city usually makes a difference.
[Thunderbolt General] somnambulator:
i dont live in philly but ive never tested above high 7's down/up. fastest has been 7.8ish down and the same up. normally it's between 5 and 6. i've been to and thru the city a lot since getting the TB @ launch, including testing with 4 bars on a boat under the Commodore Barry Bridge, elsewhere on the Delaware river, and a few miles up the Schuylkill with no obstructions and the fastest was still mid-7s. Also have done tests in Olde City, near the sports complex, and in centre city. nothing above 8.

across the river in NJ along the 295 corridor i get the same 4G speeds as philly. i've never tested faster than 8mbps down anywhere so far, which includes all of philly, northern DE near Wilmington, and the baltimore-DC corridor and greater DC.

running stock non-rooted with speedtest.net app. via wifi @ home i hit my advertised speeds of 16-20 down

maybe our 4G just sucks...didnt they even do initial LTE testing here? verizon is extremely present and active in phila. since it's basically a home city for them.
[Thunderbolt General] ben7337:
Actually I'd say your 4G rocks and is the best management of Verizon's network. They advertise 5-12Mbps down and 2-5Mbps up, and you are in the middle to low end of that guaranteed speed down and easily in the middle to top of the upload. That means Verizon is paying for the right amount of bandwidth to all of their towers in the area that you have been on, without overpaying to have way more than is needed like the people getting 16Mbps all the time. That 16Mbps means they have like 2x more bandwidth than needed, so they are paying the ISP's twice what they really need to and are thus making less money, from a business standpoint your region is the perfectly managed area. If your average speeds drop below 5Mbps be sure to call in and complain though.

Meh this LTE network is finckey. I probably should have specified that im in more of the suburbs in Radnor near Villanova

I am running the new gignerbread rom, and I used to get around 11 mbps, and now I am getting around 3.
[Thunderbolt General] MillertimeISU:
denver speeds for LTE were a lot higher but now have settled around 3.5 d/l and 3 u/l
[Thunderbolt General] Smok3d:
19.83 d/l and 4.13 u/l here in California!
[Thunderbolt General] mariol90:
Instead of starting a new thread I figure I'll just post here... I've been getting 100-150 kbit/sec down for the past ~month now on 4G, and upload is anywhere from 600-5600 kbit/sec, usually on the slower side. 3G is actually faster and I had to disable 4G completely just because I'd have data problems on it, like when streaming pandora.

My phone is stock, I reset everything back to how I got it and did the OTA update through the phone, but that didn't fix the speeds. Our area has had 4G since december but it doesn't seem like they've done anything to it since I got my phone.

Anyone else's city like this?

Here in Nashville I'm getting 32 mbs down and 10 up.
[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
I'm in the Lehigh Valley and I get 10-15 down/2-3 up consistently on my Bolt. Usually a tad bit faster on my Samsung LTE Mifi but they're all pretty consistent.

Speedtest.net has confirmed bugs in their testing app when testing LTE speeds. 2.0.3 was supposed to fix it but they're still getting bug reports (I emailed them to get this info.)
[Thunderbolt General] sonofskywalker3:
Just another voice confirming that the GB leak is affecting LTE speeds. Did some testing yesterday, and on any 2.2 rom I was getting speedtest results of 12000kbps - 16000kbps and consistently faster load times for youtube/netflix/pandora/large downloads.

On any 2.3 sense rom (stock, Blackhole 2.0, Bamf 2.0 beta 5) speedtest results were 2500 - 5000 kbps, and data intensive applications are noticeably slower. I tried the latest kernels by imoseyon and nerozhel, and all 3 radios (GB leak, MR2, MR2.5).

So anyone having slow lte speeds on a 2.3 sense rom (anything that's not CM) try reverting to stock, and you should see your speeds increase ~5x.
[Thunderbolt General] mariol90:
I had BAMF 2.0 at one point, and went back to 1.7 after all the concerns, same speeds (100-150 kbit/sec down), now i'm on stock and it's the same. so it's either a problem on verizon's end or a hardware problem, i've switched radios a few times too.

[Thunderbolt General] stedrocklp:
I am lucky enough to have two Thunderbolts and can say from my personal experience the GB radio is much, much slower than any combination of Froyo radio's. I am in Boston a couple times a week and I had bamf 1.7 Remix (With the newest Froyo radio) and Bamf remix 2.0 #5 (GB radio leak). Just basing this off of memory the GB radio was 8mb down and 1.5 up compared to the Froyo radio (both right next to each other running the speedtest.net app) 15mb down 3.5 up with an average of six runs back to back, each. The GB radio brings our 4g phones to 3g speeds.
[Thunderbolt General] altimax98:
I just bought a second hand thunderbolt running the latest radio non rooted and normal. Im just outside the tampa area and it seems to cap at 5 down and 3 up
[Thunderbolt General] mariol90:
make sure you try different servers like the ones in Georgia. I'm in Orlando right now and my speeds are fine so I guess my home area is having problems.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
It seems that it had a ROM on it which had some system files on the SD. Did it have two partitions ?

How about trying to boot it with back button + power ? It should take you to the fastboot menu.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lothaen:
I'm guessing the same as paul.c...

Assuming the Desire was not bought brand new, had a custom rom on it, partitioned SD card, re-formatting the SD has screwed up the ROM...

I recently was running jt1134's CM7 Alpha, My phone was running perfect.

After flashing that, I can get everything to work, except for syncing my Google account and WiFi. I get the error saying that I am not connected to a mobile network, and that I need to try again. I've tried countless times over the past hour to do so, And not once has it been successful.

I would try on wifi, but it just so happens that WiFi doesnt work either, it will see our networks, but It will not get past obtaining an IP address. Does anyone have any input on to why this is happening?

The Epic community has adopted this cause and has been spreading Autism Awareness left and right. I infuse my ROM's with Autism Awareness as well. I blog about my family's story at www.lostandtired.com. By reading our story you can get a better understanding of what families like mine struggle with. I'm not looking for anything accept awareness, understanding and acceptance for my kids and other person's with special needs.

With that said, I need some help and you guys are just the people to do it. As you all know Autism Awareness is something very near and dear to my heart. In my never ending quest (in my newly discovered free time) to help spread awareness I listed my blog on a site called Picket Fence Blogs. VERY popular site. I need votes to keep me towards the top of the list. There aren't many Autism related blogs listed here and the more votes I get the more people will read my story and the more Autism Awareness is spread.

Hi all,

I'm going to try bidding on a MT4G on ebay within 3 hrs, so I hope I can get a few replies before that!

Could anybody tell me how the 3G signal strength is on this phone? When I had an HTC HD2, when holding it normally from the bottom I would lose a massive ~20dB in signal. This was often enough to knock the phone from having a couple of bars down to no signal.

3G signal is very important to me, since my provider does not have a GSM/EDGE network. So, if I lose 3G reception I'm totally disconnected.

If anybody could post some numbers here on their signal strength in dBm while resting on a table and while held in the hand naturally from the bottom, I'd appreciate it! Does the phone lose more than about ~10dB when held?

Thanks,

Faruk
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
4G+3G strength are based on the coverage for your area, if 3G is bad in you area then chances are 4G will be bad too. Check the coverage map for where you live, for me I always get 3G/4G/2G anywhere.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjlawson09:
don't know if this helps but i get jumps from -75 to -85 when laying device on couch than holding in hand or just touching while on couch, but i don't have the stock radio either.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faruk88:
Thanks for taking the time to test it out for me, I appreciate it :)

Ace42: Yeah of course, signal strength will depend on coverage. But with my HD2 I had a major "death grip" issue where at home I have great signal strength (about -80dBm) but when I held the phone it would drop below -100 dBm. You'll notice if you search google and youtube that a lot of people have the same issue with the HD7 and Desire HD since they share the same design. In comparison, I don't have any such problem with my Blackberry 9700... It basically sucks in most respects except for signal strength :p
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Well my current reading is -75, it seems to stay in this range when held.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Computar:
Up until recently, I'd been perfectly content with my completely stock Nexus S (T-Mobile, SAMOLED screen, I believe that makes it the i9020T model?). However, the 2.3.4 update made the phone's display look yellowed and washed out.

After looking around on XDA, I found that installing a new kernel with voodoo colors could fix the problem, so I'm looking into doing that. My questions are as follows:

Just to be clear, I need to be rooted and have the bootloader unlocked to proceed with this, right? And if so, these instructions will do for stock 2.3.4?

If I flash this kernel, will I still get OTA updates in the future, and will they work?

If they won't work, what steps would I need to take to get back to the stock kernel?
