Changing to EVDO only helps with 1X, but I found out that the setting to EVDO only will not allow incoming text or calls. I had to put it back to Automatic.
[EVO 4G General] Sportsplayer612:
I've tried everything everyone has posted so far. Changing to EVDO only and automatic and all that stuff. I took it into the Sprint store today and they tried telling me it was on 3G since the icon was showing that. I told them the evo icon never changes to 1x even when connected to 1x. She still didn't believe me. So I downloaded a few apps that showed my phone only connected to 1x and she downloaded the same app and it showed hers connected to EVDO. She said she couldn't trust the app and then she compared my phone internet load times to hers and mine was actually faster so she still wasn't convinced. I explained that the 3G is on a higher frequency than 1x and being indoors she may have a poor signal compared to mine. Also I told her that everyone in our area is probably connected to EVDO, thus slowing it down, versus just me on 1x, so I had better speeds. She said that is very true, so she ordered me a new Evo that should be here in a few days.

THIS WILL GET YOU 3G

but you will be constantly roaming

try it out and let me know if it works for you.

##775#

search for 00001.prl and change it.

commit changes and it will restart

give it about 10 mins to get connected right and do a speed test.

i was getting only 15-20 kbps using the latest sprint prl.

i changed to this modified prl and im getting 1700-2200 kbps

i think sprints prl's are messed up..

I'm having the exact same problems. Tried damn near everything at this point. No luck. If you find a solution, please post it.
[EVO 4G General] palmdude:
I finally tried the "new" 4g I get four out four 4g bars pretty much everywhere in that area. So far so good.

But when I test the speed with the speedtest.net app or testmy.net site, I am always getting only 0.4mbps download speed (but normal 0.9 mbps upload speed). 3g download speed is 1.2mbps

I also tried another EVO with the same result (both hardware version 3). I don't think it is a hardware issue, because last year I tried my EVO in a different area and got 8mpbs (with four bars).

I tried the two latest wimax versions (and updated the profile):

EVO_WiMAX_27167_R01

EVO_WiMAX_26023_R01

Does anybody have an idea why the download speed is so slow (with excellent signal strength)?

PS

I am not looking for confirmation that download speed in the bay area is fast. I believe that, I am rather interested in possible explanations, what could be wrong on my phone.
[EVO 4G General] rican408:
Probably something wrong going on there. I've been getting 4g in the bay area for at least 3 months. I've maxed out at 9.5 mbps...
[EVO 4G General] palmdude:
Yes, something is probably wrong. What Wimax version did you flash?
[EVO 4G General] kcrudup:
+1 to it being fast in the Bay Area. Have gotten as high as 1.1 MByte/sec (with a -64dBm signal).

Stock EVO, and a Sierra 250U for use at the hotel.
[EVO 4G General] palmdude:
What wimax version do you guys have on your phones?

What else could make a difference?

For example ad-blocking (via /etc/hosts or ad-free) does interfere with 4g web browsing, but I don't have any ad-blocking software or hosts file.

Again, this is the first time I am having issues with 4g. Last time I used 4g was 2months ago (before the official roll-out), but had no problems.

4G Speeds fine for me

I have a Evo 4G hardware version 0004 and my speeds are almost 10Mbps in the bay. Same in Sacramento.
[EVO 4G General] palmdude:
I think mystery solved.

I went to a Sprint store to compare with other devices and they had the same problem.
[EVO 4G General] krypticide:
FYI, tested from Stanford campus with almost no 4g signal and got 2.4 Mbps down and 0.5 up. Not great compared to others though, but I was indoors.

[EVO 4G General] lacrossev:
seems to be sporatic coverage to me. When i test in certain areas the speeds are awesome but when i'm at home, whether inside or outside, the speeds are indeed worse than 3g. Give it some time i guess maybe they'll bolster the coverage a bit more as they expand.

This is all in various parts of san bruno
[EVO 4G General] kcrudup:
Bandwith hog, I'll bet.

Have you reported it to Sprint, just in case it's really a bad tower after all?
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
That's what I've noticed in SF. I have gotten nice d/l speeds at various places I've been but overall it's sporadic at best and 3G seems to be my best bet overall for the places I frequent.
[EVO 4G General] palmdude:
I am not sure that this is a coverage issue. My antenna signal strength is very high and the tower is 0.2 miles away (according to spring). I tested in areas with only one bar and still got at least 2mbps.
[EVO 4G General] palmdude:
I don't think it is a bandwidth hog. I tested many days around the clock always the same problem.

Yes, I called Sprint, I tried to explain that I tried other EVOs and got the same problem. And that the phone works very well everywhere else in Bay Area :-) But they think it is a problem with my phone (after the "advanced support technician" remotely updated the phone and also did an "handsfree activation").

I guess the problem is that they haven't received (m)any calls from that area yet. The most surprising part is that the sprint store in that area apparently didn't complain about the problem either ...
[EVO 4G General] palmdude:
Did you have any download speed problem, when the 4g signal strength was excellent ("full bars")?
[EVO 4G General] palmdude:
Exciting news.

After 13 months Sprint/Clearwire fixed the tower and I have full 4g speed now.

Average speedtest roughly 9.5mbps down and 1.4mbps up.

Speedtest via hotspot: 4.5 mbps down.
[EVO 4G General] TurboX2:
You guys are lucky.

Where im living i would post this thread with the title:

Gainesville: 3G slower than 1x?

Its been like that for the last 6 months here.

Id rather roam 1x on verizon than use sprint's 3g. 100% honest. I get about 100kbps on a good day.. average around 30 kpbs right now
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
That site is defunct, but you can see the tower at the new site:

[EVO 4G General] Brilliancy:
Getting great 4G speeds in San Francisco, about 8.5 Mbps download with one to two bars of strength. Compared to my .3 Mbps download speeds with full bars of 3G, it's amazing. By the way, my mom's Samsung Epic 4G is getting 5x faster 3G speeds...any reason for that? Is the Evo just that bad?
[EVO 4G General] palmdude:
@NxNW thanks for the link update. But the map doesn't show any 4g coverage.

You can see 4g coverage here: http://www.clear.com/coverage

3g speed has been around 0.7mbps average in the last couple of months (despite the data capacity upgrade). It used to be 1.5 mbps ...

BTW the highest speed I measured was 12.4 mbps.
[General Questions and Answers] rorouni:
I was thinking about mobile computing, mostly current tablets, and how they really have a limit in computing power.

I found some apps that let Android users control their desktops remotely. I know W7 has a pretty good handwriting recognition software. I also know that running videos and audio usually does not translate to the mobile device well (or are there newer apps available).

The point being, I was wondering whether it would be possible to use the remote desktop to use a tablet and write on it. The writing, would ideally transfer and save to the desktop. I know most tablets do not have adequate capacitive screens to handle stylus input well, but I was mostly wondering whether software was available.

Thank You.

aAnyone know why? When I receive an MMS it just says downloading and never downloads, even after 2 days. Can't send, either. This has been a problem on many android phones I've had, stock or otherwise. I'm on AT&T and don't pay for a data plan. Is there a way for me to turn off the data usage and still send MMS?

I'm running Team Whiskey's Nero v5 w/APNdroid. Even on stock I had issues.

Whoever can fix this wins a cookie. It's been an issue for years.
[Vibrant General] wearmaize:
MMS are sent and received over the data network. You can try turning off wifi as that seems to help the sending of mms, although it won't work without data.
[Vibrant General] metroidnemesis13:
I know that, but the apndroid feature "keep mms on" is supposed to temporarily allow data for messaging. Windows Mobile and dumbphones let me send texts, and I am signed up for MMS, just not data.

I tried those and they don't work either. Do they work for you? I'm about to call AT&T to see if they jacked up my settings on their side. I used to be able to send MMS on my Blackjack and i don't know what's changed... my plan sure hasn't.. also I uninstalled APNDROID and I am using the ROM's "Disable Data" feature to disable data instead.
[Vibrant General] zer0nine:
Yeah they work for me. It's just that the MMS plays as a video. I'm not sure if that is a common problem or not.
[Vibrant General] metroidnemesis13:
What ROM are you on? Also, do you have your data blocked too?
[Vibrant General] zer0nine:
I just flashed Darky's universal ROM and tested to see if MMS works and it does. I've also used Bionix 1.2.1 and Trigger 2.6, and those were fine with MMS too. I don't have my data blocked.
[Vibrant General] metroidnemesis13:
Well for me, data blocking is crucial. If you block data on yours can you still send MMS?
[Vibrant General] zer0nine:
How exactly do I do it? I'll give it a try and report back.
[Vibrant General] metroidnemesis13:
Well for me, I held the power button and then there was a "Data network mode" option (second) and when you tap it it says data network mode deactivated.
[Vibrant General] zer0nine:
Yeah it doesn't work with data disabled for me. No idea how to get around it.

calm down take a breather us XDA users got your back, OK take out the battery and put it back in then go to the Hboot ( hold power and volume down) then once you get to the Hboot Settings use volume down to get to RECOVERY (i think its the third one) then once you get into Clockwork Recovery scroll down to (Backup and Restore) click then press (Restore) and then choose your Restore file it usually Year-month-day hope i helped you donate pls if i did :D

BE SURE TO KEEP THE CHARGER IN!!

p.s. if it turns off while its restoring even with the charger in let it boot into recovery mode and let it charge up a bit

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Three options

Option one: (easiest)

Since you flashed 3.0.0.5 you must flash a Gingerbread ROM, (Which you can download from here ). Make sure to flash the G/apps after you flash the ROM.

Option two:

you can flash a 2.x.x.x Recovery image, or flash 3.0.0.6 via script or manually do it via the HBoot.

Option three:

Flash the PD15IMG and start over from ground one.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisjay:
thank you so much for the advice and help. i could bang my head on the wall for trying to load gorillasens. i shouldve left it alone. once i get home from work i will give it a try again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Ah. i think i see what happened. You rooted your phone. downloaded Clockwork Rom Manager, then flashed a recovery image (which was version 3.x). then tried to flash a 2.2 ROM.

Okay. so what.....

a common mistake but one that can be avoided by doing a little research.

Clockwork's 3.0.0.5 recovery image is only compatible with Gingerbread (2.3) based ROMs.

Clockwork's 2.x recovery image are only compatible with FroYo (2.2) based ROMs.

gorilla is 2.2 So it's not cannot be flashed by the recovery image you are using.

if that is correct then the text in the recovery image should be orange in color. If that is correct.....If i were in your shoes i'd load CM7 w/ the GAPPS > download CWRM from the markert > scroll to the bottom (all clockwork recoveries) and flash the newest 2.x. then boot into recovery / make sure the text is GREEN, not ORANGE, wipe then flash your GorillaSense.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Can you cite a source, because I've also heard people claim that Clockwork 3 is backwards compatible, but there was no evidence either way...?

How would you go about switching from a 2.2 ROM to a 2.3 ROM? Do you have to backup with CWM 2, then install CWM 3 to install the new ROM? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me...?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
3.0.0.5 is not backwards compatible, which is the official 3.x that you download via the Application. 3.0.0.6 which is "beta" flashed via the HBoot is backwards compatible.

It's seriously jacked if you ask me.

to go from lets say CM6 > CM7 one would do a nandroid backup of CM6, then go to CWRM flash the 3.0.0.5 recovery image > boot into recovery and flash the CM7.

now to get back to a 2.2 ROM you have to scroll to the bottom of CWRM app's and flash a 2.x version of the recovery then do your nandroid restore, flash the 2.2 recovery image.

From what i've heard once 3.0.0.6 is finished you can use that for everything.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
What a pain...

I'm real sketchy about the Clockwork 3 recoveries for the Nexus, because they've been screwing up partitions (mine included). Has there been any problems with Clockwork 3 on the Glacier?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I haven't had any problems with mine. The only problem that was noted was the 3.0.0.5 prior to the official release wouldn't do Nandroid Backups directly from the application. Some were reporting it work work from the recovery image, but mine never did.

and i have a feeling the reason it's screwing with Partitions is this (CM7/CW3.x) is a Ext4 set up. And CM6/CW2.x is a Ext3 set up.

but since it went official the only problem i've seen is people flashing the the wrong recovery for the wrong ROM. People are flashing 3.x because 3 is higher than 2 so they think it's an upgrade and have no clue on the who/what/when/wheres and whys of what its for.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
The partition thing is different for the Nexus, because they are cross compatible to a certain degree. I rolled back to CWM 2, but I can still flash CM7 no probs...

It's interesting to note the differences between the two platforms though (Nexus vs Glacier).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Yea between Google's way of doing thing and HTC, but i'm sure the chip-set has something to do with that. and with the sexy nexi only having 512Mb of memory the factor of tricking the phone to use the SD card has something to do with it i'm sure.
