[Epic 4G General] samej71:
I assume nobody else is having speed issues because I haven't seen any recent posts about this topic, but I went from 100% stock (including recovery, non-rooted, no extra apps installed) EC05 to EI22.

The first thing I noticed when I started to install applications was the 3G data was tremendously slower than it was before. Yes, I'm on Sprint. :) It wasn't great before, but it is *really* bad for me now.

I am currently getting:

4 out of 6 bars, -76dBm to -91dBm 0 asu

I do not know what the dBm/asu indicate, if those are "good" values or not. I've received acceptable data speeds at this location before.

I performed three speed tests using the Speed Test app:

ping 790ms, 693ms, and 982ms

download (bits, not bytes): 95kbps/0.09Mbps, 75kbps/0.07Mbps, 35kbps/0.03Mbps

upload (bits, not bytes): 93kbps/0.09Mbps, 127kbps/0.12Mbps, 138kbps/0.14Mbps

I am a bit reluctant to odin the modem back to EC05 with the modem NVRAM flash cleared and re-applying the EI22 patch, since I am not rooted I do not have the necessary numbers it appears I need to re-establish service from reading that forum thread.

Anyone else seeing a similar issue? Any suggestions for resolving it, other than the aforementioned NVRAM flash?

No noticable speed issues here....the towers that were broke before still don't work for data and the ones that do work..work the same.

Go to the data status in the ##DEBUG screen and make sure it says evdo and not 1x.
[Epic 4G General] zetterwing:
It's likely the tower. I get the same sort of thing downtown here but if I get out to another tower I pull just over 1 meg down. Hopefully Sprint gets all of their towers sorted out soon.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I compared mine on an Airave and they are comparable in speed.
[Epic 4G General] samej71:
Thanks, everyone.

I tried to search the forums for ##DEBUG to see how to do that, but wasn't able to find a post that explained it. One post I did find talked about turning on tethering mode and using a com port, but none of the ports I tried to open worked (I stopped at COM7). I will look into this more later on the great interweb.

I found some co-workers who have Sprint and androids, and when they ran Speed Test all also got abysmal results: one test returned a 2kbps (bits) download result. Yikes.

So, it seems to indeed be tower problem of some sort. After talking more with them, it appears to have really taken a nose dive the past couple weeks. The suspicious is the tower is saturated. Awhile back one of my coworkers called Sprint to complain, after going through several levels the most he got them to do was re-provision his phone which didn't help at all. So there's no acknowledgement of a problem or apparently any intention of fixing the issue. Maybe someday...

Anyhow, I appreciate your help and insights. Thanks again, everyone. :)

Same Issue Here!!

Insanely slow, all stock, formerly 1.0Mbps DLs before in same spot.
[Epic 4G General] bmasephol:
I have to throw my 2 cents in, used to get pretty good speeds and now, not sure if it is EI22 or something else, I get horrible speeds.

I sat in a car, parked in a lot across the street from the sprint tower, full bars, -65dBm, and ran a speed test... 483kbps download, 614kbps upload, 117ms ping.

I'm in a smallish town and can't imagine there is that much traffic on the tower...

Just to update, in another smallish town about 45 minutes away from the other one, sitting 5 bars about 1/4 mile away from tower and my speeds are even worse.
[Epic 4G General] bg4:
same problem here - speed test results are dismal

5 bars - tower within 1/2 mile away - ping 138 ms - d/l 439 kbps ul 443 kbps

I've found that if I disable 100 MHz then I get a lot better data speeds. I'm on Legendary RC 2.1 with 2.0.8 of the Samurai kernel.
[Epic 4G General] saramon:
I also have this problem too, however if 3g is super importante, I would recommend CM7 the problem seems to go away too. Runs smoother too. I have 4g, and love it, so that is what I use when I am connected to a charger. 3g is getting pretty bad that I can't even stream music sometimes, just for the skips.

[Epic 4G General] nerdtaco:
Slow speeds with a strong signal usually means that the tower is having issues. I have that problem on the main road (I live in the sticks) where there is only one tower, and a lot of users. In the middle of the night my speeds skyrocket, indicating network saturation during the day.
[Epic 4G General] bmasephol:
Ok another update. I had a friend with a galaxy tab at work today try a speed test and the same time as I did on my epic. We both got very similar results... which hopefully confirms that my phone is working fine, just sprints network is being saturated in my area. I'm going to go ahead and blame the number of people who probably picked up smart phones in the last few weeks. Seems like every day at work somebody has a new shinny toy to show off... to bad the network isn't able to support it.
[Epic 4G General] 12th Planet:
I live in San Francisco, and I still get crappy speed. San Francisco's suppose to have the "fastest" 3G. I donno why though.
[Epic 4G General] bg4:
update from me.

sprint was down much of today

just came back - speed test report 1177 kbps down - 649 kbps up and ping of 163 ms - A dramatic improvement

did the 100 mhz mod also

but this seems to point to towers.
[Thunderbolt General] Character Zero:
I might be giving my TB to my wife. She would be going from an Inc to a TB. She hates the Inc because the proximity sensor is crap and the screen comes on when she is talking and she ends up muting or hanging up or activating speakerphone. So I was going to give her my TB. Now I know I would need to upgrade her plan to 4G data and get a sim card. But she has an upgrade in March and wants to get the iPhone 4S (its what she wants, so no flaming please). Now does that screw up the data plan, would I have to go back to a 3G data plan, or will the iPhone work fine on the 4G data plan (without having access to 4G of course)?
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
as long as you don't make changes to your plan, neither will Verizon.

on a side note, Siri's ok.

try asking things like "Siri, do you think I'm handsome?" ... "Siri, if you were human, would you sexytime me?" .... "Siri, why don't you tell me you love me anymore!?"

for best effect, ask in public with people around you.
[Thunderbolt General] Character Zero:
Well I thought if I give her the TB temporarily might as well upgrade her to 4G since it costs the same. But then when she goes back to a 3G device, I guess its like using the TB with 4G turned off?
[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
I am not quite sure you know that 3g and 4g are that same thing. You are buying a data package, the speed you get the data is no different. Right now the only thing that makes a difference is that when you get 4g data you can double your limit at no extra cost (2gb is now 4gb). When i got my thunderbolt my unlimited data transferred to the Thunderbolt very nicely, now when you upgrade to 4g data now and get the extra data such as the 4gb I beileve you will lose that when you go back to 3g iPhone.

System Dump of the Motorola RAZR. This is the Retail SEA version, will update with more info later.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] art0605:
How do I use this? And will it save me from a soft brick? Current stuck on bootloop
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marko!:
How did you get your bootloop
[Motorola Droid RAZR] art0605:
I froze some apps from the recommended list, and I assume I might have selected something I wasnt supposed to.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marko!:
freezing apps that you dont know what they do is a very easy way to get a bootloop

you can use the system dump to fix it if you know how to use adb a bd push the apps you froze

alternatively

if you can get the phone to connect to your computer you can use adb shell to unfreeze you frozen apps with the following commands

adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
ls
//look at what apps have .fro extensions added
rn appname.apk.fro appname.apk
//repeat

that will fix it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spikeanut:
Contacts FC fix?

So I screwed up and deleted the yahoo files instead of freeze them on titanium...getting the dreaded contacts force close issue. How can I use this system dump to restore those deleted files? Can I install the apk's through something like astro? Sorry, total noob apparently....had no idea yahoo would have anything to do with contacts..oh well. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xitsxjack:
i did the same thing and also i have no SMS/MMS notifactions probably caus i removed something else i shouldnt have, ive tried installing those apks again through titanium backup and pushing through adb with no luck so what im using for now with no problem for contacts is Go Dialer EX and Handcent for sms/mms
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spikeanut:
system dump

So is it as easy as doing a copy all from the system/app folder from the dump onto the razr's system/app folder using a file manager like astro?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xitsxjack:
not at all. be my guest if you want to try. A. i dont think that astro can access the root folder last time i tried, might have changed since, you would need to use a file manager that can access, mount rw/ro, and change permissions of the system files and/or folders in the root.

B. i tried it already and everytime you try to reinstall the system apps through a file manager it says installation failed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marko!:
You have to put all the system apps in the folder AND set the right permissions
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spikeanut:
Ahh, ok, so I can do it with root explorer pretty easily then?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marko!:
As long as you be careful as to what you are replacing yes
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spikeanut:
So I've tried using File Expert, with Root Exploer, but apparently I'm having some issues when I try to Mount as Read/Write. Also can't seem to use it to change permissions. Anyone have any other apps that will give me access to the permissions?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marko!:
Try a terminal emulator use the remount command
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spikeanut:
Well, it appears that if you were like me and deleted one of those applications, you're SOL. I've diligently went through the system dump provided, and added all the items I was missing into my /system/app, changed all the permissions to the correct ones, reboot..and still nothing. Even did a full system wipe/factory reset afterwards to no avail. I know this method worked with other phones, but apparently, the RAZR kernal doesn't allow for it. It seems the only solution would be if a SBF was created that can fully restore the phone to factory install...fingers crossed! So what can we take away from this...don't be an idiot like me and delete apps...just freeze them. I think I must be the only one who screwed that up...=/

Sorry I can't upload it.

I tried to copy it to sd card by file expert as root but that didn't work.

So I tried to copy it with cp in adb but that didn't work either.

So I tried to pull it which didn't work.

Will probably have to dump the whole partition with dd but I don't have time right now, have to get to sleep.

Will do it tomorrow if no one else already have done it.

[Optimus 7 General] mattresso:
A few months ago I purchased two LG Optimus 7 E900 phones from Germany, on eBay. They were both Vodafone.de branded but that was easily removed after following easy-to-follow instructions on here.

I then signed up for two T-Mobile accounts for the phones and they have been working perfectly ever since. Sometime this week, both phones are showing a 'SIM error' and give the following message: The SIM card is missing or invalid. You can still make emergency calls if your mobile operator supports this.'

I have taken both SIM cards out and swapped them with other T-Mobile SIMS and I am getting the same message, although the SIMS from the phones work fine when popped into other phones! This morning, I phoned LG and they said that I should phone Vodafone and ask if they have locked the phones! As they were Vodafone.de (Germany) branded, I am not sure if they will have a clue or not.

Maybe I should go out and buy a Vodafone UK SIM and see if it works? But I assumed that if the phone was network-locked, it would ask for an unlock code?

Any ideas?

Mattresso
[Optimus 7 General] mattresso:
I just phoned LG and spoke to one of their support techs. He said that because they were bought from Germany and were Vodafone.de branded, there is nothing they can do. He advised me to send them back to Germany!! I told him that I was going to chuck them in the bin and he agreed. So much for customer service, eh??:confused:
[Optimus 7 General] mattresso:
Right, work this one out!

I decided to reflash the FW on the phone and get the thing working again. The LG Optimus 7 E900 original ROMS thread was followed to the letter and I successfully installed the Europe Open FW.

So, on completion, I slipped in the T-Mobile SIM card, only to be met with the SIM error message again!!!:eek:

Right, I am off to try the UK ROM and see if that works. If it doesn't I am off out to buy two iPhones!

Any ideas?
[Optimus 7 General] mattresso:
OK, now my head really hurts!

One of the phones has done a full reset and has the UK ROM installed and it works fine with the T-Mobile SIM installed. The only problem is that now it will not connect to any PC or Mac that I have.

The second phone has been reset and flashed with the same UK ROM. Unfortunately, this phone still shows the SIM error but it can connect to my PC and Mac!!!

Now, I have little/no knowledge of these matters but it seems to me that the problem/solution lies with the USB settings within the phone?

As part of the above instructions, it is suggested in post #78 that I should:

6. Go to Menu then 7.Engineering 3.Port 1.USB Switching Setting then select 2.QC Composite, change the driver for the USB, reboot the phone

Anyway, I followed this method (not sure if done on both phones) but I am not sure if anything needs reverting on completion of the flash.

Does anyone know?:confused:
[Optimus 7 General] mattresso:
It has to stay QC Composite!!:rolleyes:

Going to try the SIM error phone again using the same FW and QC Composite selected!
[Optimus 7 General] mattresso:
Success at last!!:D Not sure why the hell it went tits-up to start with but I assume it must have been a wireless update from Vodafone.de?

Anyway, both phones working. Thanks for the help!!;)
[Optimus 7 General] Etaduck:
I'm not sure we helped, but I've been intersetd in your story. Haven't had your issue myself, but I know a few others have.

So was flashing both phones what solved it?
[Optimus 7 General] mattresso:
Ensuring composite QC is selected, the SIM is removed and that the correct ROM is used are the three rules, it seems.

I'm convinced that it was a wireless update from a different carrier is what caused the problem. Anyway, it's sorted now, thankfully!

If you need any help, give me a shout and I will try my limited best.
[Optimus 7 General] mattresso:
Not really related to this post that I started but is it possible to connect my iPad to the phone (tether?) and connect to the web via mobile internet??:confused:
[Optimus 7 General] holyman2010:
Of course you can - just update your Optimus 7 to the latest WP version via Zune, and enable Internet Sharing from the settings. This will make a WiFi network with a password for your iPad to connect to. Browse away :)
[Optimus 7 General] raydowe:
I had a problem like this too. Last night I plugged my phone into my PC to sync music through zune and was prompted to install an update. Installed the update and my phone works!

[Optimus 7 General] ADAMCARR89:
same issue

I'm having the same issue. Phone is stuck at PUK code even though sim works in other phone. It is a UK Vodafone phone.

Can you give step by step guide of how you got yours to work?
[Optimus 7 General] mattresso:
Hmmm. Again, I am flummoxed!

My daughters' phones are both showing the SIM error message once again.

After previously flashing the phones with the UK open FW, the phones worked perfectly, until today! We all spent Christmas and New Year in Orlando and took the phones in the hope that a US sim would work in them. The sim didn't work in either phone and I resorted to buying a $20 Nokia! Worked fine too.

Anyway, on return to the UK today, the phones were powered up with the UK sims fitted but both phones are showing SIM error - No SIM.

I really am very, very close to throwing these phones in the trash! Anyone have any ideas why this has happened and will I need to re-flash them (again) in order to get them working??:confused:
[Optimus 7 General] phytio:
I had this a short while after I was upgraded through Zune. I sent it into Vodafone and they fixed it, but it'll probably have to be the place you bought it from...
[Optimus 7 General] mattresso:
I bought the two of them from Germany via Ebay! They were both Vodafone.de branded but not locked but I re-flashed them with an open, UK firmware. Everything has been fine since the re-flashing, until now!

I have been in touch will LG and they said they will pick them up and repair if:

They are still in warranty

They have not been damaged due to dropping, etc.

They were purchased in the UK

All boxes are ticked apart from where they were bought. Surely a warranty must be valid anywhere within the EU?? Anyway, i am going to play dumb with LG and hope that they will reflash them....if not, I am definitely launching them into the sea! Damn fed up with them now and too much information on them has been lost too many times.
[Optimus 7 General] phytio:
Almost certain mine wasn't within warrenty, they still did it for free. Mine happened very close to an update so I thought perhaps the update caused it. In that case they might say things along the lines of "you must meet certain conditions", but at the end of the day they'll quietly repair it free of charge. We'll see.
[Optimus 7 General] mattresso:
I sent both phones and received them both today with a letter titled, 'We've checked your handset and cannot find a fault'.

OK, so I immediately popped in my T-Mobile SIM and got the SIM Error message once again!!!

I'll phone them in the morning. If I get no joy, it's new phone time!
