I have a USB Data Card. u301. I have an antenna plugged in to it mounted on the roof and I get full service. Speeds at around 13.6 Down, 1.40 up. I plug the Epic in and with full service. Speeds at around 2.61 Down, 0.42 up. WTF? huh...
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I get 4-6 Mbps down on average with bursts above 8. 1.4 on the download. My speeds have actually gotten better over the past 2 months.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
My average with the very little 4g i have here is 2mb and lower then 1mb up download so your lucky to get what u get..

When i went to chicago a few weeks ago, i got 12mb and 1ish upload :eek::eek:

I was impressed in chicago :D
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
4G is an absolute dead end for anyone in New York (unless you're smack in the middle of the city). Here on the upper west side, 4G is far less reliable than 3G and when it does work offers no substantial speed increase.
[Epic 4G General] glenner444:
Just ran a few speedtests from inside my apartment here in downtown Portland, OR

12006kbps down, 1486kbps up was the best.

Pretty beefy!
[Epic 4G General] kwazytazz:
thats not entirely true. i live in brooklyn ny and i have great 4g. averages around 7-8mbps
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
I've tested 4g speeds all over Denver since it came here, and have seen a striking contrast in different areas that are only a few blocks apart.

Aurora seems to range from around 3 mb/1.5 mb on the high side to just under 1 mb/0.3 mb, but there are a lot of holes in coverage (and the in-and-out coverage areas at the edge of said holes, of course). Once in a while, I have seen dl speeds up to 5 mb, even 7 on two occasions, but that only lasted for a half hour at best... ul speeds have never exceeded 1.5 mb for any of my tests.

I have seen more consistent ~5 mb upload speeds in parts of southwest denver and surrounding areas (englewood, littleton, etc.), though upload still signed like it was capped at 1.5 mb. But even some of those areas have had dead zones and flaky signal.

I have had one intermittent problem that could be my phone or the network - once in a while, everything will appear as if my phone is connected just fine, but I can't reach the internet. Go back to 3g and I'm fine, but when I reconnect to 4g, whether immediately or after a few minutes, it still behaves like a local network with no internet... Anyone else have this problem in Denver?
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Nah I live in the bronx and I get great 4g lol when I'm outside though. Myhouse is a lead box, apparently. I get 1 bar inside but it barely holds on to it.

There are a few dead spots though around the city. Like, BLATANT holes inthe coverage.

But other than that, I'm completely satisfied with 4g...I even get 1MB (yes byte) consistently when I'm chillen outside.

They could lower the ping though...1MB speed is still garbage when it takes a second for your command to go through.

I remember when I bought my epic downtown the first thing I did was turn 4g on and it connected...this was in october BEFORE 4g became official in the city lol I ike sprints commitment to nyc
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
what are you guys using to test these speeds and what modem(s) are you running?
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
2.3 modem? Mine does that anywhere. Lol. Like it just feels like taking a break whenever.

I'm on the latest leak. Prob what it is. With full service I should be getting up to where my card is. Its like its caped.
[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
I've noticed that the clear 4g network is going through a lot of throttling changes. I've noticed they have been keepin the phones below 8Mb most of the time and clear itself is using a bandwidth throttle that doesn't seem to have a clear reset period. Streaming video has brought my home modem and usb modem to a .67 Mb crawl for thelast few days. But when I'm not being throttled I see up to 14Mb down.one last note I have yet to see any bandwidth throttling on the phones 4g tho. Blemh I think I have to go back to comcast for home internet:-(

[Epic 4G General] kynetx:
I've never really used 4G on my phone. It's only functional if I turn data off, then turn 4G on and stay stationary. If I'm driving it simply stops working. At least half the time it just connects, goes to sleep and stays that way until I toggle it off.

This plus the Overdrive I used to have is pretty much a fail sandwich.

Seattle/Lynnwood/Redmond areas primarily. SRF ROM, though it's pretty consistent across ROMs.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
I use speedtest.net for my tests, both on my phone with the app and my tethered laptop via the website. I have tried all but a couple of the modems (I didn't bother with some of the leaks that came out almost back to back, because there was already a newer leak when I found time to flash). The results did vary slightly between modems, but not significantly enough for any one modem to stand out as the best or worst - some almost seemed to have good and bad times of day, and not necessarily the same times between modems (probably coincidence due to the random fluctuations in connection quality that I described in my previous post)
[Epic 4G General] globalninja:
I decided to try it and got 12MB down lol
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
I'm going to try this tomorrow for both 3G and 4G and will report back with the results.
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
I agree completely with the above. In my apt on Upper East Side, 4g speeds are fine - but I get constant drops and terrible speeds (as in slower than 3g) on Upper West in my office. Have wifi at home so don't need 4G there, but would love to tether off 4G in my office. Sprint 4G sux :(
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
What antenna did you use?
[Epic 4G General] ragingbull2k2:
what does 995kB/s dl translate to? lol, it was insanely fast only a couple of times I tested it like 5 months back in san diego... I must have been the only guy that connected because now my 3g speeds tend to be on par with my 4g... and that was on 2.2...

[Epic 4G General] dead78:
Ok so I ran a few tests on the Upper West Side this morning and the results were mildly surprising.

On 4G, I maxed out at about 6.0 Mbps down and 0.65 up with pings in the 140 range.

3G, on the other hand, maxed out at 0.3 Mbps down about 0.5 Mbps up with pings of roughly 260.

So, we've basically got no difference between 3G and 4G upstream and glorified dial-up for 3G down.

I'll try some more later from a different location.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
so I had to do a bit of driving around Manhattan today and decided to test 3G and 4G speeds in several areas. the short version of what I found: my neighborhood has the absolute worst 3G and 4G of any of the other neighborhoods I drove through. most of the Upper West Side south of me boasted around 4.6 Mbps down and 1.4 Mbps up. 3G was roughly 1.0 Mbps down and 0.85 up. In midtown, 4G was roughly 3.3 down a 1.0 Mbps up.

Compare that with my neighborhood where 3G doesn't crack 0.3 Mbps down and actually has faster upstream. I called Sprint and they claimed there is a "tower down" relatively close to me, and after some pressing, gave me a $25 credit for the down time.
[Epic 4G General] jok3sta:
What is this "4g" you speak of?

Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 3g
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
Sorry, but the "tower down" story is utter bs. I run speedtest routinely on Upper West Side and Upper East Side (various locations) and 3g d/l speed rarely - if ever - cracks 1 Mbps. It is usually in .5 Mbps range or lower. The upload speeds are in .2 - .7 range and haven't been consistent. Then I compare this to my wife's completely stock Droid 2 Global (consistently getting 1.6 - 2.2 down on 3g in same locations) and want to cry. At times, her 3g is faster than my 4g! And it eats far less battery and can be had indoors. Sure, with 4g working I can get 3.5 Mbps down at times, but the download speeds are so inconsistent and network is so full of holes and drops as soon as you enter a building that it is an afterthought.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
I don't doubt that this is true - I was just relaying what Sprint told me. The biggest problem, as I see it, is that Sprint hides behind their coverage map and also disclaims any responsibility where signal strength is in buildings is concerned - I've had Sprint reps essentially tell me that they don't even really guarantee that you'll get a signal outside your home either. If the coverage map shows that a neighborhood has 3G and 4G, they'll swear until they are blue in the face that you have coverage and Sprint's living up to their end of the bargain. I was only offered the discount after I said I ran speedtests around my building and had speeds that were well below Sprint's stated service level.

So, yeah, I expect they'll keep telling me that tower is down every time I call, and I plan to do so every week until I have speeds that reflect what Sprint claims I'm paying for.

Bill Cox, Sr Director of Communications for Windows Phone, retweeted this WhatsApp tweet:

It's coming People!
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Don't care anymore. They waited too long. I want ChatOn. It does more...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
To be fair Kik is a great alternative but then convincing your friends to use something other than WhatsApp isn't an easy task. So really this is good news.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Samsung ChatOn will be better. It'll have much better file/media sharing and social functionality. Samsung just need to get the App out the Door. I still know people who refuse to create a Facebook account. ChatOn would be perfect for those people.

Never used Kik before. They had a Huge Security hole on WP7 and they took way too long to fix that.

WhatsApp is a lot more popular in Europe than in the US, though.

what's wrong with wlm and fb chat?
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
For when your friends are away from their PCs:

If they have an Android phone: Facebook chat is a bit rubbish and WLM isn't used by most (both are done via third party android apps)

If they have a Blackberry: Neither of FB Chat or WLM are really avaliable

Both sets of these users use WhatsApp a lot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ I don't have a FB account, but my lady does. Her FB chats are integrated in with her texts, just like all the other social stuff is integrated in her contacts app. She loves it. So it can't be too rubbish.

Oh yeah she has a Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Saux64:

[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
The tweet came from the official Whatsapp account, and mentioned the popularity of mangoes. You're supposed to put 2+2 together, and interpret it to mean that Mango has their attention right now.:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
RIM has their own IM apps for WLM, Yahoo, AIM, and some others that goes through their network, pushed and everything.

Facebook chat, I don't think so.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

The biggest failure of WhatsApp is that you have absolutely no control over who else can see taht you have it installed on your phone if you use the program. Also, if you change your phone number or relagate your phone to a backup other people can have multiple entries in their WhatsApp contact list. It's really messy from that standpoint.

I had to contact them to get phone numbers removed from their DB because of that. It's a real PITA.

It's like getting a BB and having every other BB list in your phone's contact list automatically be able to see your PIN and send you messages, unless you block them. Ugh...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
That's great news... in between testing a bunch of new smartphones (some are Android based), I've grown used to WhatsApp and have quite a few friends with it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I would definitely agree with that which is why I think KiK is superior but convincing people to drop WhatsApp is a lost cause. Having the app checking your contact list is considered to be its biggest feature and the reason it has more users. I don't see how hard it can be to enter a username once for each one of your contact.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Correct.

That's why I'm waiting for ChatOn. Hopefully it will come to WP7 but since I've been using the Vibrant as my daily driver and the HD7 as a quasi-ZuneHD it won't matter if it comes to Android first :P

The main issue I've had with WhatsApp and Kik is reliability and message delivery speed. This is more pronounced with Kik. They were really really fast at first, but as more people started using it their service has degraded. WhatsApp is more reliable but I still get stints where messages fail to send for several minutes and I don't recieve messages people send, or get them way after they send them... For hours at a time...

I really like what Samsung is doing with ChatOn, though. They need to get the Android app out fast so I can try it out.

File Transfer in the integrated Mango Chat protocols is too limited, IMO.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
chat apps............meh.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
Nice :) have been waiting for this quite some time.

The built in live + fb messenger is not sufficient since you HAVE to be online to send/receive messages. It has chat only not integrated messages (and really why?). Also it drains the battery so quickly that is kind of useless.

It does not let me be offline for live and be online for fb. And if somebody send me offline msgs, i have to read them in the fb app which is a pain. Cant wait for the mango update of the fb app and be able to pin the inbox to the start screen.

Lets hope MS does some improvements to the native support of offline msgs in the next version.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Drains your battery? I've actually had better battery life with Mango, my only gripe is Zune freezing with downloaded marketplace songs, but I think the chat is amazing, would have loved an inbox too though.

& did I see somebody say nobody uses WLM?

Another tease, it's definitely coming. By the way, Joe Belfiore also retweeted the initial tweet so no doubt is allowed. For all we know they might get it out as soon as Mango is released.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is ready to go right now, but they want to make a big splash announcement.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
anybody found a link to the test xap on their servers instead of the teaser picture? :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Every review I've read states Mango Battery Life is < NoDo. It's expected, given the number of Background services that will be allowed to check for updates in the background, something NoDo currently doesn't support. A lot of stuff that isn't pushed on NoDo will be pushed on Mango. Apps will multi-task, play audio/video in the background, etc.

It's nothing new. If your battery life went up, then I'd have to assume you were dreaming. It's borderline impossible even if they made more battery optimizations in the base OS.

The idle power drain of WP7 (NoDo) with screen off is basically Nil because hardly anything uses the cell radio when the phone is locked with no apps running. That all changes with Mango.

i am sure you must've banged you head into walls for solving that thing .. i did too .. :D .. try these solutions if you haven't tried them yet .. it would be more helpful if you describe how its is not working and what have you tried till now ..

1- confirm the correct setting from your service provider (i am sure you must've done that .. ;))

2- you must have two APNs .. one will be your GPRS/Edge connection (we don't have 3G :( ).. the other will be your MMS APN ..

3- i suppose the both APNs are correctly configured and your GPRS/Edge connection is working fine for browsing . but upon sending or receiving MMS your phone says " Generic network failure" and your data connection icon disappears .. or any one of both ..

4- if the symptoms above are correct ... make sure you have set the APN type of your data connection to "default,supl" .. if it is so.. and still MMS is not working.. then ..

5- change the authentication type in your MMS APN to"PAP or CHAP" ...

it worked for me. . . try to restart your phone after each setting .... :)

if this cant help you .. i am sure anybody else can do that .. plenty of great people here .. ;) ... thanks to people here in XDA .. i also found these solutions here but i cant find them now .. :p ...

[Atrix 4G General] kc3:
Okay, so I've been thinking of getting a Motorola Atrix to put on H2o wireless (att based mvno) however I had a couple of concerns. I'm a MAJOR performance junky and love Cyanogenmod on my current phone however I'm nervous about the locked bootloader, the instructions at the atrix dev team google code page does not state that the phone's bootloader needs to be unlocked so can somebody please clarify this? Also the guide mentions you can use Rom Manager to install the CWM however I know on the Tmobile G2x that uses the Tegra processor as well you aren't supposed to use Rom Manager but instead use NVFlash, I take it the Atrix is safe using Rom Manager?

Bootloader needs to be unlocked to install custom ROMSs. There is an automated script to do just that.

[Atrix 4G General] kc3:
More than anything was price, however I've never been one to believe in setting when it comes to these things but one of my top priorities with new phones is has it been hacked. I like modding my devices so I would much rather aside from spending less money on a phone (without contract) I would also like a phone that already has a good development community. The GS2 is like $600 without contract, but the Atrix is $450 directly from ATT or roughly $300 to $400 from a few places on ebay.

Just to clarify, you need to have the bootloader unlocked before you flash recovery through rom manager.
