hit 10gigs data last month. I can deal with less than amazing speeds :p

10 gigs on 3g only since 4g doesnt' work at my job hahah. I can only imagine what i'd be at with 4g.

Though does anyone else experience throttling around 10 gigs downloaded? I noticed for the last couple of days in the billing cycle my internet was slow.

Oh well!
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Actually iden is upper 800mhz and 900mhz...
[Epic 4G General] Androidfreakz:
Can't stand the 3G speeds of Sprint, that's why I returned my evo 3d. Reception sux, could not even call CS to complain about the reception. I'm happy with Tmobile and my sensation.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
I believe I've seen iden licensed as 906-921MHz in many areas. I keep hearing a lot about 800MHz, and I believe it's those confused about what sprint gave up.

Just look up the FCC licenses. Sprint has 2.4x GHz through 2.6x GHz as well.
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
If Sprint deploys caps, there will be no point of staying with it. The primary reason I am with Sprint now is the (still low) cost of SERO premium. Speedtest comparison results between my wife's Droid 2 and my Epic show that her 3g speeds are consistently 1.5x of mine. I am in NYC so it's not like there aren't enough cell towers. What good is 4g if it can only be used sporadically as it kills the battery?
[Epic 4G General] gradynyc:
Some of us old timers with sprint seem to have forgotten, we had unlimited data before wimax came out and were told our unlimited data was no good and we had to get another plan that supported the new data. Not just a new data plan but a whole new plan, plus a $10 add-on. I'll even go back further than that when they told us vision data people we now needed power vision. You get my drift. Even though the phone has the quad band capabilities you may need another soc to turn it on. Too many vendors are going to need to get paid from creating this new network. I'm over here trying everything I can to make it to Verizon before thursday, every scenario I have to pay through the nose because I got this epic. LTE is in my town now and I handle our verizon account s for my job. We have 2 LTE usb modems that are unlimited (yes some industry does get unlimited). 22MB down 10MB up. Unbelievable!
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Yes, they had to give up certain frequencies to the government
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Also the Samsung Tender was the first new tri-band Sprint device

[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
What? For real? For thanking devs you got a one day ban that is really a week long?
[Epic 4G General] mi7chy:
Glad I got in on Verizon's unlimited before the 7/7/2011 tiered changes. It should be good for a year or two before something better rolls around.
[Epic 4G General] Grommish:
Air devices have ALWAYS had higher speeds than the phones.. there was a speed hack for the winmo devices that showed my tp2 as an air device, uncapping the 3g speed. your companies usb air cards are signifigantly more expensive than $70/mo for the unlimited plan I have with sprint, and I can make real calls.. comparing a usb laptop modem to the epic is just idiotic.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
after making that account and talking to a mod ... they admitted their mistake and im back up !
[Epic 4G General] kwazytazz:
which speed hack are you talking about? I've had a tp2 for 2+ years and i dont remember seeing a speed hack that uncaps the 3g speed -.-
[Epic 4G General] gradynyc:
I had a Touch Diamond and there is no hack of what you mention that uncapped the 3G. Secondly my companies Verizon unlimited LTE 4G aircards are $37/month. Don't let my post count fool you I've been around these forums for years but seldom post.:eek:

sprint data is terrible

I just switched to sprint at the beginning of june to get on the evo 3d

and I bought my daughter an epic.

anyway I was with T-mobile for 6 years and retired with a nexus S, mytouch 4g, and vibrant.

I am so disappointed with the sprint network 4G is pretty good but is a battery hog and the 3g is super slow. web pages often stall and fail to load.

I never once had data issues with t-mobile and my downloads were always super fast.

Let's just hope sprint does something for us soon or I will regret switching to them.

It makes good smart phones like my evo 3d and epic only half the smart phones they would like to be.
[Epic 4G General] Phateless:
You could have just waited for the sensation or bought an unlocked desire hd on ebay.

You should come back to t-mobile.
[Epic 4G General] mi7chy:
Doesn't Sprint allow 30 days to cancel service if you're not happy? Sprint 3G is sucking hard at ~200Kbps down and ~50Kbps up and 4G coverage is spotty.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Ya may have deserved it since it's not 3vo. 3vo and 3vo 3D aren't the same thing. Damn n3wb$ need to get with it already.

[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Sounds like you need to read the threads of "Want better 4G, Do this!!"
[Epic 4G General] steven7590:
I'm surprised by the 3g scores for Sprint. I probably get an average of 1.75 MB download and 0.6 upload on 3g most anywhere I go in the Midwest.

In other more related news, Verizon just rolled out LTE to my area while Sprint/Clear still only have three WiMax towers. I also get 2G-like speeds on the EVDO network :mad:

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bswright:
So to start off, i was having some issues with not being able to make a nandroid. I was getting bad boot image errors. I had tried everything from atlas pit with fresh stock, to the new gb, and now comrom 2.0/2.1 with the non voodoo setup. I was recently downloading some new kernels to try and really wanted to try them out. So i tried pbj -50v, flashed via cwm red, still unable to perform nandroid. Saw kernel flasher lite on market and tried to flash via it, failed. Downloaded pbj sv, tried flashing it via sgs kernel flasher, success kinda, it failed to perform reboot as app stated it was doing. Used tsm power mod to boot into recovery. It came up yellow and as v3.2.0.0! This is new to me as i had been out of the root scene due to a faulty micro usb port, as i was only able to achieve dl mode and recognition of phone in odin once and immediately stocked it and ota'd thru the months. Finally got vzw to send me a refurb running ed04. I immediately installed cwm, failed nandroid. Tried ec09 &then nameless 4.1until it borked my sd. That's when i popped in my my old bb storm sd and started on my quest as stated above.

Anyone know what i did, lol?

*Forgot to mention that i was able to do a nandroid in the yellow cwm. Yay!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bswright:
I called flash mananger lite by the wrong name above. I called it kernel flasher lite by mistake.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellen_hed:
Yellow cwm is specific to the pbj kernels
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bswright:
Cool. I was hoping i hadn't screwed something up again, lol.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhartman977:
Hi. I had a similar (I think) problem. I had CWM 2.5.1, and was getting a date of 2000-1-1 on repeated attempts to backup. Tried 3.0.2.8, but the backup image failed immediately. Someone replied to a post I made and said that he had the same problem, which was fixed by enabling voodo. I assumed that meant I had to flash a voodo kernel in order to enable voodo. So, knowing that I probably want to flash Evil Fascination, I flashed imnuts' 531 -100uv voodo kernel and booted into recovery. Wasn't expecting what i saw - Yellow CWM 3.2.0.0. Different. Ran a buckup, and...Success! Checked the clockworkmod folder on SD, and there is a backup file with the correct date.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bswright:
I was evidently getting the date error. Looked in my sd and there were at least 4 folders labeled as you mentioned. I'm on otb1.6 now, as i couldn't get the voltage control app to work on pbj -50. I'm currently on cwm red and doing valid nandroids as well. I've been running stable at 1.4ghz on demand setting. Got a 1917 quadrant this morning. Finally happy. Doing little visual tweaks now. :)
[Android Software Development] BillTheCat:
Tried to search on this but the terms are so generic, I didn't have much luck.

Is there a way to set up two partnerships with my Android phone, so that I can have contacts from work on my phone and home machine, but keep my personal contacts synchronized from my home Outlook private and out of my machine at work?

In other words, I want to synchronize some, but not all, groups, based on the desktop.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] DjIsD:
Are you running Outlook at work too, keeping your contacts in separate folders (one being personal and the other work related on your home computer), if so do you have your contacts on your phone setup identifying the differences as well? How can your phone move files, can they be fed directly ibro Outlook or are they transferred as a csv file? Worse case you use one Gmail and Live accounts to sync and the Live accounts to sync with your two Windows computers. I have gotten creative when it comes to getting the information I need to me from my computer at another location regardless of what operating system it is. Gmail, Live and Cox accounts are great storage accounts and servers.

If you still need help and haven't found a solution I could help you out, it would just be easier if I knew the details of your current syncing program (if any), its capabilities (if it interfaces directly with Outlook or creates csv files) and any thing else you use to transfer your files.
[Android Software Development] BillTheCat:
Sorry, should have included the information you ask about.

Running Outlook 2007 on both desktops. It was my plan to use HTC Sync. I do have my work contacts categorized into their own group, so if there's a way to synchronize only specific groups by desktop, that would be ideal.
[Android Software Development] BillTheCat:
Bump. Still looking for a solution.

[HTC Sensation] Toeeknee:
I was reading about Data lags on the sensation but never noticed it on mine (Tmobile US) but I did notice that my "4G" speeds were incredibly slow and went through all the troubleshooting "Ciphering off/on radio off/on" "airplane mode on/off" "hard reset" "new sim card" ect.

Using the SpeedTest.Net App, I was getting about 1MB download and less than 1MB Upload. Sometimes I'd get 500KB Download. I called Tmobile Customer Service and they said that my current android plan "$35 Unlimited Data and Text" (even though my phone constantly shows 4G at the top) does not include 4G and I'd have to update to the new plan which includes 4G for $30 5GB Unlimited (wtf?) Data and $15 Unlimited Text"....so I changed it....2 hours later....

I'm still getting the same speed. <1MB Download <800KB Upload...

Any help guys? Did I pretty much just get ripped off? I'm on Tmobile US, in a 4G coverage area. --- What speeds are you guys getting?
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Did you go over your limit? They will throttle you if you go above the 2gb/5gb/10gb

I'm currently throttled and only getting .5mbps down. :( sucks but I got throttled one week before my new cycle so hopefully it will go back up next week :)
[HTC Sensation] Toeeknee:
Nope. Got the phone last week and Its been slow like that since. I called tmobile to check and see and they said I was well below my usage.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
You shouldn't have changed your plan. There might be something wrong with the phone or the area you live in.
[HTC Sensation] Toeeknee:
That's what I asked them, I said what if it's the phone and not my data plan. I told her that Tech Support doesn't know what the problem is but they just think that the plan is old and that's why its not on 4G, I asked if I still get the same problem can I change my plan back to the grandfathered plan, The rep said that she had a problem like that before and she switched her plan and she got fast speeds but if it doesn't get resolved she will note the account so that "special accounts care" MIGHT switch me back to my old plan.

Still slow speeds.
[HTC Sensation] mylexon20s:
The feature your taking about, $30 for the 5G data is a Required feature if your on an old plan. You can switch to the $79.99 even more plan and that gives you unlimited talk text and 2GB web each month. if you choose to remain on the old plan, the 5GB $30 plan is the data plan we can add in the store.
[HTC Sensation] Toeeknee:
My thing is, I had a plan for $35 Unlimited Data and Text but they said that doesn't support 4G so I changed the plan to $30 5GB and $15 Unlimited Text plan but the speeds are STILL the same.

I was wondering what everyone else's speed is and if I just got ripped off going into a new more expensive data plan yet receiving the same speed as my old cheaper plan.
[HTC Sensation] mylexon20s:
It could be in the area your in, but just to be sure, go into your tmobile store and try speedtest while your there and also check the sensation they have in the store.
[HTC Sensation] Toeeknee:
good idea checking the speed on theirs. But as far as area wise, I don't think its that. I live in Garland, Texas but go out all over the place for fun. So I go to Dallas, Rockwall, Fort Worth, and all these big cities and still, slow speeds.

[HTC Sensation] Daddyroot:
they lied to you.

I am getting 6mb down on the unlimited G1 plan. I did switch sim cards and used the one in the box, but did a web chat to activate so I encountered no BS.

Real sorry about that...

Seriously,

ask for a floor manager, then ask the floor manager for their supervisor, don't stop until you get you plan back.

I got unlimited loyalty minutes $69 for 2 lines and $30 for unlimited text and data. mine data tally never shows any usage, it just says unlimited, doesn't show an amount just 0% used.

I was on the phone for 3 hours though showing my backside a couple years ago.

I got lucky I think, maybe I just feel lucky and have the same deal as the rest of the customers who were around back in the voicestream days before the tmobile buyoiut;

point is though, be nice and cool but persistent and keep asking for managers and supervisors until you get your plan back.

also,

always ask them to place a note on your profile saying what ever they promise.

good luck

and I'm out...
[HTC Sensation] odd*1:
I have a feeling it is something with your phone.

I'm on the grandfathered $25 unlimited Android Data plan (5GB of 4G) and below are speeds I've gotten with 3-4 bars of 4G.

I live about 25 minutes outside of Milwaukee, WI.

5.5 - 10 Mbps download and .6 - 2.2 Mbps Upload
[HTC Sensation] mylexon20s:
Your unlimited loyalty plan is 5GB . Also, customer care can get you back on your old plan, the guy I'm quoting makes it seem like they are cutting diamonds lol.

Just call and tell the rep you speak to that your account was changed in error and you do not want your data plan changed. If you are questioning the phone, get it replaced.
[HTC Sensation] Toeeknee:
called tmobile again, talked to them and troubleshooted for about an hour, turning phone on and off, refreshing network ect. and still low speeds 600kbps download and 32 kbps upload. Asked if it could just be my phone and they said no. The tech is opening up a trouble shoot ticket, saying its probably a network error and I should wait up to 72 hours for a technician to come out to the area.

guess I'm waiting.

[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
I will add to the confirmations that the plan or SIM doesn't matter. I use the $25 MyTouch 3g plan and I have an older "2g" SIM card in my Sensation. I average 6-7 Mbs bandwidth with max 10 Mbs seen so far.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I have to humbly disagree with you there...kinda.

I know some here have the same plan and situation you have and granted it works in your case, it is not really fair to say it works for all.

I came from a nexus one and simply changed my sim card over to the sensation on June 9. It worked fine until day 3. I think you have responded to a couple of my threads asking about the "android" vs grandfathered plans on the sensation but I do not recall what was said. Beside that, I was connected fine with my grandfathered data plan which I used with my old SE Xperia x1. It was called a 'smartphone' data plan, which cost 24.99/mo with 400 data texts. I have since replaced the sim that came with the box, made sure the IMEI's matched to their systems (which I think was the reason for the data cutoff) and now have a coded "android" plan.

From day 3, I have been on here asking people's opinions on, "data is data so our grandfathered plans should work no problem"....and to talking with tmobile cs, opening a trouble ticket because it came at the same time there was a problem outtage in my area (San Antonio, TX). I was told that the trouble ticket takes about 3 days to be addressed/resolved.

BUT on day 4 (day 2 of the trouble ticket), I called tmo cs again and got to the second level tech dept and had an in depth troubleshooting call with the extremely nice tech. Turned out she has an android device too so that helped things along.....The tech checked my trouble ticket but had a feeling that she could fix it so we agreed to go for the gusto. Upon tweaking the apn's and other settings, nothing worked even though I have the 4g icon up on my notification bar, just no data transfer. Before hanging up, I asked her about my grandfathered plan and was weary of getting the "suggested" android plans out there because there was nothing comparable to my grandfathered plan. She then went to her senior manager who is also nice and explained my situation. The rep came back to me and said I was right, the old grandfathered plans DO NOT work and any IMEI's that come back with incompatible data plans get disconnected.

So she and her manager saw that I was also a long time member of tmo for over 10 years and agreed to set me right and not have me pay more for a plan that I am getting less features on. The manager went and recoded my grandfathered plan to read Android instead of smartphone. (I am guessing this unlimited wording is 5gb and then throttles me but I am on wifi most of the time so it doesn't bother me) Two seconds later I got a sms from tmo welcoming to the android data plan.

About an hour later I found that my data was flowing again. So I must stress that even though your grandfathered plans may still work, do not be surprised if tmo disco's your data connection. You'll still make and receive calls, but data will be disco'ed.

But to the OP with slow data issues, have you changed the Sim card at all? I would advise against calling tmo and asking them to check the IMEI they have on file because I think that is what flagged my phone to begin with. And as for the data plan issue, you will need to come to grips with what works for you.
[HTC Sensation] dellybelly:
This may not be common, but I had to get a new SIM card for my N1 when they rolled out their HSDPA stuff locally I couldn't get any 3G at my apartment after they did; an updated/new SIM card fixed that issue.

As far as the plan, they tried to get me on the same gimmick; said that I should upgrade to the 4G plan etc etc...I politely refused it and im getting 6mbps here in Blue Bell, PA
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Yeah they were trying to be nice & all, but seriously, Tmobile blocked all Sensation IMEIs that weren't on their newer plans to force you to "upgrade". It's not the CS reps fault though, but tmobile's & their wanting everyone on a tiered data plan. Your old plan was fine, even worked for a few days (like mine did) until tmobile flipped that lovely IMEI blocking switch.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
Lets take a step back. What speeds were you seeing before with your old 3G phone? It's possible that you're just an area with slow speeds. If that's the case call and demand your old data plan back.
[HTC Sensation] RootUserDWR:
T-Mobile has done a lot of cleaning of data usage on their end.

Their new phones and systems are made with code that specifically disregard older data plan coding.

Basically this allows them to say that your old data coding is incompatible with the newer system they're using.

Just looking for you to pay more for less. ( T-Mobile loves AT&T )
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
I'm using a Sensation with an older Android plan ($24.99 + 400 Texts) and i'm also using a sim card from 2005. I have "4G" speeds. What everyone needs to realize is the technology is the same across the board. There is technically no such thing as 4G on the t-mobile network. If your old "3G" phone worked in your area, then your new "fake 4G" phone will work. If it doesn't then demand to talk to someone else until they fix it. T-mobile shouldn't be tricking anyone into upgrading to a 4G plan by saying it wont work, because that's 100% untrue. All t-mobile did was increase the bandwidth that their old cell-sites would operate at. If your device can handle the faster speeds then it will benefit from the bandwidth upgrade. If the device can't handle the extra bandwidth then it will connect at the fastest speed that it is physically capable of.

I can see T-Mobile's argument if their 4G was LTE or WiMax, but it's not. If T-Mobile wants to argue about 4G speeds then demand to keep your plan at 3G speeds. Their 3G devices would theoretically reach 7.2Mbs which i've only managed to beat once with this new phone, and that speed was 7.7Mbs.

Sorry for the long post. In short, don't give in and fight with them. They'll fix it. Keep escalating the issue until you reach their CIO if you have to.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
the reason you weren't cut off is because of the bolded part. trust me, I spent 2 days on the phone trying not to upgrade from my original Total Internet plan, they will not budge no matter who you speak to.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
Get outta town! Really? How much were you paying for that plan? I'm sorry if you had to change to one of the new plans. Can they at least put you on one of these older plans? The new 2GB cap sucks and it's expensive. ATT can eat a nut.
