[EVO 4G General] lbcary:
Why cancel over 50 cents a month fee increase. I hear its bcuz of slow 3G speeds on Sprint. I came from Cricket bcuz i wanted a month to month plan so i could cancel with no etf at any time,& cricket activated devices from other carriers.So i used an HTC Incr on cricket,& it ran great. Then my parents family plan from Sprint came time for an upgrade so aftr doin the math i joind my parents family plan on Sprint & got the Evo. My stock 3G speeds werent impressive 300-1200kpbs on my evo on sprint. My cricket htc incr had 3G speeds were about the same. Now that ive rooted,s-off,& flashed MikG Sense 2.1-3.0,2.5 rom with the V6Supercharger(setting 8),Kickass kernel tweaks,& 3G turbocharger tweaks,& sometimes a custom kernel,did use netarchy & now lithid sometimes.Im now experimenting with,system/etc/initd/cpu freq governor/,& the removal of the cpu freq governor. I just cut the cpu freq gov & pasted it in an sdcard folder so i can put it back if needed at any time. Now im using the stock ota kernel with the mentioned tweaks added. Now with the custom rom,extra tweaks/scripts i added,& the cpu freq gov removal.My 3G speeds average 600-1900kps,mostly around 800-1200kpbs. So Sprints 3G network is a good,fast network,but u need to have ur device setup/tweaked so it can fully utilize it.I think sprint purposely does some things that slows em down so they dont use up as much bandwidth or as much 3G data per month. Sprint hasnt announced the testing of 4G in my city,not one word from sprint.Nothing on their 4G to.come city list.Nothing anout 4G in my city,but i tried to connect for the hell of it not to long ago & it worked. I went to Sprint the next day to speak ask about it & got lucky bcuz the regional/head sprint mngr just happened to be ther & he talkd with me for about 30min.He told me that sprint started getting 4G up in my city only 2-3 weeks before my device connected for the first time. He also said that Sprints clearwire,4G,issues/prblms is hav finally been cleared up & that 4G from sprint will start rolling out to the big,& even alot of small,cities faster & more reliably starting the next few weeks like it was supposed to originally. He said that Sprint & Clearwire had 4G court,patent,issues that was slowing the release of sprints 4G network.I asked him why Sprint didnt announce that they were starting to setup 4G in my city & he said Sprints decided not to announce the release of 4G to a city until its about %75 complete. Instead of their announcement to some cities that only had 30% coverage. My city has about 20%-25% 4G total coverage so far from my checking/testing. Also when i have a good or strong 4G signal my 4G data speeds are even faster than my wifi n speeds. My Evo has almost reached 10mbps.It was actually 9.69mbps,nut with a weak/poor 4G signal i still get data speeds of 1-4.0mbps.Also since the latest prl update the 4G coverage area seems to have become a little larger. So im gona stick with sprint for a while longer. Im happy with my unlimited everything plan,with no 3G or 4G data caps or some tiered data plan. Even tho i only avg 1.7-2.2 GB a month. I still dont want a capped data plan. I like having fast data speeds.
