[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n01un0:
I dont know if it is just a coincidence that the iphone came out today but my 3g speeds have went to a mind numbing crawl. With full bars and using speedtest app, I have not hit over 60 kBs all day. Stopped at sprint store and they said network was overloaded and they couldn't even run normal tests on my phone to diagnose. I think I am having issues anyway since I can't seem to get over 175 kBs in the last two weeks before today and I have a tower 1/4 mile away. I have dreaded the iphone release on sprint since announced.....hope this is not what I can come to expect from here on out. I've been with sprint for 14 years and really don't want to have to change.

mine is actually doing a little better ..... 541kbps down - 43kbps up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
That's about how 3g is for me yesterday in Torrance, CA. Very poor performance. When calling Sprint to ask about possible network issues, they kept me on hold for a supervisor for >30min before I hung up. Sprint's network is starting to be a major concern for me.

Where i live I am very lucky to break 50k and that been going on for about a yr.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dallastx:
I was going to make a topic about this earlier. Yes sprint did increase the data throughput. As soon as i woke up i checked my speeds as they could not sell a 3g phone that cant even stream music. Sure enough speeds almost at 1mbps normally in my area 50kbps to 300kbps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n01un0:
I am not a lawyer by any means but since the actual sprint website says:

Sprint Mobile Broadband devices operate at average download speed ranges from 400-700 Kbps with peak rates up to 2 Mbps, and at average upload speeds of 40-70 Kbps with peak rates up to 144 Kbps in Mobile Broadband (EVDO Rev 0) coverage areas.

Sprint Mobile Broadband devices that are EVDO Rev A will operate at average download speed ranges from 450-800 Kbps with peak rates up to 3.1 Mbps, and at average upload speeds of 300-400 Kbps with peak rates up to 1.8 Mbps in Mobile Broadband (EVDO Rev A) coverage areas.

https://www.sprint.com/business/products/products/evdoCoverage2.jsp

Do I have any recourse based on what they say I should get vs what I actually get? Maybe a breach of contract or something or violation of TOS......thems my only legal terms I learnt and can use, lol.

In all seriousness, it just doesn't seem right that I am told I would get one thing and I am locked in for 2 years with it but yet I get another. Kind of a bait and switch thing..........wait.......another legal jargon phrase that just came to me, haha.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snager:
Increase In Speed

For the past month I been doing a speed test every morning as soon as i get into work. Till today I have not gone over 0.5 Mbs download (Honolulu, Hawaii)

But today I ran the same test i do every day and was able to hit 1.56 Mbs!!!! :eek:

Did a 4G test and got 0.1 Mbs :confused:...super crap speeds as always.

Ran some more speed test on 3G and was surprised to get all of them around

1 Mbs. Sprint must have upped their throughput for the iphone 4 crap.

Wonder how long it will stay like this. If my speeds drop again after the initial iPhone crap I'm going to be very pissed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snazarian:
Starting?! Man, sprint's network has sucked big bawls for roughly the last 2 years. maybe even longer but iv only been with em for 3 years. I got 1 year left. Hopefullly ill be earning more by next year and jump ship to verizon and their vastly superior LTE network...even VZW's 3g network matches Sprints 4g in most areas of Los Angeles.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Slash8915:
3g gets me 1.30mbps down and .50mbps up. Haven't been able to test 4g speeds, as I can't seem to get a 4g connection eventhough I'm smack dead in a 4g area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
I noticed I dramatic increase at my work. I couldn't believe it. Previously it was less than 300 kbps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
I don't trust the speedtest app anymore. I did a test and it showed that I was getting some horrendously slow speed. Shortly after, I got a notification that doubletwist had an update. Almost 7mb program, downloaded and installed in, no joke, about 20 seconds. Did a speedtest on Speakeasy's website and got a very different result

Speeds have improved dramatically, but I'm not sure why the app doesn't reflect that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jnadke:
I couldn't care less about 3g/4g. At Sprint's price, if I got 500 kbps down I'd be happy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Uamore6:
Someone passed this on to me.... I tried it and it worked. Said the guy worked for sprint.... and code is used to boost 3g but only for a short time. Don't take my word for it try it..... Used speedtest to show show your 3g speed. Then close out and go to your dialer and press *18 you will hear beeps hangup and do speedtest again. Speed should triple.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Speeds have been fine for me personally, this is all 3G at my home in eastern West Virginia.

Probably a lot of truth to your statement ... and that's why I live here :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Yeah, I get VERY inconsistent results with speedtest... Sometimes it will say I am getting 10kB/s, and then I'll download something from the market at 200kB/s a moment later.

I use the FCC speed test app, myself... it seems more reliable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
Might want to make sure you're not actually connected at 1X but displaying 3G. The 3G radio is crap on these devices, I have come to find out. People right next to me with other Sprint devices get great 3G signal, yet mine is connected at 1X and won't find 3G. 4G remains unaffected and quite fast, but this 1X is nearly unusable. :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
At least my 4g won't be affected ;-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Is there a way to tell if we're connected with 1x or 3G aside from the speed? I tested the other day here in Overland Park - the home base for Sprint - and the speeds were less than desirable. Not sure if I was just not connected to 3G or if it was truly that slow. As mentioned before though, 4G seems to be unaffected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
I wonder why, considering they are both made by the same developer.

My 3g speeds suck monkey balls. I think I'm going to take it in to a tech to look at. I'm hoping they try feeding me some BS so I can school them. Hahah I'm also going to have them check out the overheating thing and also why my colors (mostly grays) look uneven at really low brightnesses

I just finished a video call from Colorado to Belarus, talking with a friend there. It worked great, a little lag once in awhile, but I think that was on her end, they have poor internet service, my Tmobile has faster download speeds. I thought if any one was looking for a working video call from your phone to someone that does not have a awesome phone like us, this works, Yahoo sucks, because front camera does not work with it.

I ran into that problem, but a restart of Skype or a reboot of the phone fixed it.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Asycid:
Kongregate is a webpage that conatins thousands of flash games (ok, just 580+ :D). Kongregate Arcade is an application specially for Android. You can now download and play the collection through your phone (quite smooth though)!

First, you need broadband internet (3G will be ok, but it downloads a lots of data)

So let begin the How To:

1.) Download Flash 10.2 for ARMv6 (tested and working, as I said) from here (thanks to sahilisburman):

https://sites.google.com/site/androidcampus911/download-flash-player-10-2

2.) Install Flash, then reboot phone!

3.) Because we can't download Kongregate Arcade from Market (X8 is listed non compatible - good joke...), download the .apk from here:

http://androiddev.orkitra.com/download/apps/?appid=-6879788431821644290&download=com.kongregate.android.kongarcade_v2.0.2

4.) Run the Kongregate Arcade app. If you prompted to update Flash, just ignore it.

5.) You can play now, but if you register on Kongregate (for free of course), you can play for achievements! Double your FUN! :D

Note that it may need android version 2.2 or 2.3!

Note2: the games are based on the PC version, but the controls have been made for touch screens. This is the essence of Kongregate Arcade!

Have fun all! :)

How to play flash games if x8 has no keyboard?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Asycid:
This application (Kongregate Arcade) is specially made for touch-screen phones (as I wrote it down...)

The flash games that you can play through it are specially modified for touch-screens. Kongregate Arcade is just a frontend: Like android market, but you must not have to pay for any games, and you'll get achievements for completing "missions" in them. So: try it out, you can't loose anything.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] velnens123:
Thanks, gonna try it out! BTW, what ROM are you using? :)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Asycid:
I use GingerDX v015 with LinuxDX v003 kernel.

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Cancar96:

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Asycid:
Why should I? This flash player is fully working, it is smooth, never got FC. I don't need a mixed miracle, thanks. I only install a Flash palyer again if there will be a 11.0 version of it. Until then this 10.2 will be fair enough.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Slayerz1990:
Is your flashplayer version without any errors? Does it ever crash?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Asycid:
First of all, it's _not_ my flashplayer. I just linked it. Credits is in the first post.

Second, I got no FC-s yet, but Opera mobile don't recognize that flash has been installed. Dolphin browser and the built in android browser works flawlessly BTW.

I suggest flashing StarBurst 1.6. I had overheating problems on stock doing basic things too (web, call, light gaming.) Ever since being rooted for about a week, no overheating since. Highest now is floating around 43 degrees celsius, and idle is 24-30.

I think the overheating has to do with the Android OS bug from what I've been experiencing on my phone. SB1.6 got rid of some background process that may help to lower AOS and overall heat output. Good luck.
