Super Slow 3G, someone help! - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Alright. I got my Fuze about a week ago. Since I started using it I noticed that my 3G speed is extremely slow. It takes forever for youtube videos to load and when I do a speed check at dslreports.com/mspeed I only get an average of 50Kbits/sec!!! This is on 3G with full service. I was using a BlackjackII and with it I always got about 900-1100kbits/sec and youtube videos loaded in just a few seconds. It's like I am dialup now that I switched to the FUZE. I talked to HTC and they said it had to be the carrier, which is BS in my opinion. When I am at my house I only have EDGE and it works as expected, about 150kbits/sec, sometimes higher.
I have already upgraded to ROMeOS and it is much smoother and drastically improved battery life but didn't help my 3G speed problem.
Anyone have any ideas on what could help me? I am not familiar with changing the radio, is that something that might help?
Thanks,
Sam

It's still possible that this is a provider issue, maybe they cap their 3G speeds at 50kbit/s?
When my phone switches to 3G reception, the signal strength decreases.
Maybe that can be an issue too?

I don't think so, that would be false advertisement. And besides, sitting here at my desk at work with my blackjackII just over a week ago I could bet 1000kbits/sec easily.
Man, I really love this fuze, but it is pointless to have it if I can't use 3g.

first go to settings
connections
advanced network. make sure hsdpa/hsupa are enabled
and if that dont help sometimes roms get better speeds
im on proven and ive gotten over 1000 before so give it a shot

I just tried it both ways...enabled and disabled. 30-50kbits/sec both ways. I had the same problem with ATT stock ROM and now with the ROMeOS. Do you think a diffrent ROM would help?

what does your phone say at the top
e or 3g or h?
and roms do effect it but it could even be your area
have you tried it different places?

When I have HDSPA enabled it says H, then under it says 3G AT&T. If I disable it then it says 3G instead of H.

id say try out another rom
even different versions of the same vary.
one of the older proven roms i only got like 400 on 3g then the next it was up over 1000

You can try flashing a new radio by following the following two threads:

Maybe it's your SIM card. I know that when I got the orange SIM card my speeds were absolute ****e. Its pretty obvious why when if you just take a look at the size of the gold contact. Needles to say my problems went away once I got a new blue SIM.

hi there,
there is no offical 3 rom for the unit, as 3 never took on the unit, your roaming is due to the 3 sim being in the handset, and how the network is being registered on the unit. I have the same issue when i put a 3 sim into my tytn2 and diamond
3 have got the kaiser.....
And i'm using a vanilla htc with planet 3 fine......
just patch browser.dll so it doesn't report the user agent, and fake it as a n95
works perfect

I think you might be a bit wrong there.
http://www.three.co.uk/business/devices_/detail_view.omp?d=1204798087914
Roaming is displayed because when you don't get a 3g signal, you 'roam' on to either the O2 or Orange network.
and yes - three do have the kaiser because that's where I got mine.
Can confirm planet 3 and everything works fine on any ROM - no need to patch it with the N95 user agent.
Just go to http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/singleurl
and make sure 3g is switched on!!
Maybe do a search for the Aus ROM. There was one for the original TYTN, cos I tried it (or at least as a Dopod 3 ROM). Chances are they may only be using the stock HTC??
<off topic>
You're brave choosing 3 business - when I considered them, they weren't able to offer push email or any of what I would call "business" services. The roaming is poor too - some countries you can't have data or MMS with their roaming partners.

i'm not on the business tarriff! i only pay £15 a month!

what radio came with your phone? like i said before i just want to test it because i tried a few and am interested in what radio they decided to go with?
Guys,
Any radio that works well for O2 should be good. UMTS (3G) is the same frequency band in the UK and the 2G service (as already stated) is delivered by O2.
I followed this methodology for the hermes and had no problems - and I've tried my Three Sim in my Kaiser and it gave me a better signal than my crappy SE C902!
See sig for radio....
Not related but I thought 3 moved from o2 to Orange a few months back.....?
Also its worth changing your user agent as you dont get all the planet 3 services as a ppc user.
Hi ,
can you plz tell me how to patch browser dll and what is HTC vanilla? plz explain as my knowledge is not very good.thnx

You're right - my bad. They have also mentioned something about sharing infrastructure with T-Mobile.......
Easy way to get planet 3 is indeed to change the reported device to Nokia N75/N95 btw
I have Tytn II from Three, & want to upgrade to WM 6.1. From what you say I take it the standard HTC released ROM RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.17.56_Ship.exe
should be ok? Have read all the background info on Rom versions, flashing etc, but am a bit confused as my 6.0 ROM version is 2.50.771.0 WWE, can't fid that anywhere, all those listed seem to start 1.xx.xxx.x. So if I needed to revert to the Three standard ROM, where would I get it from?

Signal Strength

In addition to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174615
I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing weak signal strength inside normal buildings.
Outside I often get only 2 bars of signal strength in well equipped areas. Other phones like Motorola Milestone ore Htc one x get far better signal with the same provider.
It also happens that i dont get signal in buildings at all ( where other phons on same network getting at least 2 bars od signal)
Does the photon q have a bad antenna or what may cause this weakness? It drives me nuts because this is the only thing I really don't like on the Q.
Thx for you're answers!

I can't say about the GSM radio, but my CDMA radio works great - inside or out.
I'd imagine your phone has been "modified" slightly to run on O2... Might have had something to do with it lol. Did you do the modifications?

Nope I let CornolihoGSM do this.
Maybe my provider sucks these days. Any hints according to the above picture? How may I have 3g connectivity with good speed and also no signal Strength/ no Bars?
Edit:
Also I would say the Signal bar is very 'jumpy'. If I lay down my phone and don't move it, the bar jumps sometimes between 5 and 2 bars on no position change..

Who knows, since the hardware has been hacked. If the phone has always behaved like this, it could be a result of the hardware hack.
Heck, even if the issue crops up - maybe a solder went bad, something went loose? Who knows, could be anything...
I guess it's just the inherent risk in such things. Good luck.
AW: Signal Strength
Sure thing there is some kind of risk
I'll retry with another provider this day. Maybe something went wrong with cuttings the old normal-sized sim into micro-sim format.
I'll return back here after testing. This thread was only for getting additional feedback from other photon q users if the q has weaker antenna or something built in. As this mightn't be the case I will investigate further on my phone/provider.
Sent from my awsome XT897
Filters for CDMA & GSM are worse than for GSM only => worse gain => worse signal. But I don't have these problems either, it's perhaps lower than the MS, but still working perfectly.
After further comparison with my girlfriends HTC One X I was wondering if the differences between 'Neighboring CID' have to do something with the weak Signal?
What is the Neighboring CID information used for? Does it mean the Phone has no Information about "other" Cells than the one I am currently connected to?
What does youre phone info say?
That's just current state.
Try editing build.prop. Make sure it's stated like below :
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice = 0
ro.telephony.default_network = 3
I haven't tested on my Photon Q as I only use CDMA. I fix my D4 GSM signal by using method above. Make sure you backup build.prop first.
AW: Signal Strength
Thanx for the info, but changing those properties did change nothing.
I currently think every thing is fine and my provider is the cause of evil. If I turn on gsm only I get full bars even in buildings. Maybe the UMTS signal is to bad. nevertheless thank you all.
Sent from my awesome XT897
AW: Signal Strength
I'm also getting poor signal strength with Photon Q on AT&T. Comparing with signal strength reported by Galaxy Note and Captivate Glide in same locations and with same SIM, the Photon Q reports close to 10dB lower values. No idea how reliable any of these reports are, but fact is that in some spots the Samsungs get a signal and a connection, whereas the Photon gets nothing.

[Q] Oneplus dropping from mobile network

So my oneplus one occasionally drops from the mobile network. It happens almost daily and it just says no internet connection, no signal bars, no LTE/H+/anything. Only fix is to reboot wich is annoying. Has anyone reported this. Have unlocked and rooted with super-su, no modifications. I wiped cache and dalvic cache with no help. Used the phone few days and it's a constant problem.
I read about one guy with the same problem. He couldn't find a solution though.
Very helpful post..
I have the same problem but no solution yet. dbm values get very high 22453576 sth like that. You tried a different modem?

Try another sim card. While unlikely, it's still possible it causes the issue.

It's the same sim card so it could be what's causing it.

I was lucky enough to be able to buy 2 1+1s. My wife has an older SIM with no LTE support - great signal.
Mine has LTE, but like above, shows very high # signal in status screen, but signal goes from high to low to no signal. I tried wife's SIM, full signal all the time.
I'm in Canada on Fido (Rogers). Great LTE speeds when it works tho.
I am having the exact same problem, seems to happen when i charge over night on wifi and then after i unplug it in the morning, mobile signal drops . Mobile data section in settings also disappears. Not sure what it could be.
Now that you mention it, I did lose cell signal yesterday. I put it down to being in a bad coverage area, but once I got home it was still dead. Rebooted and it was back up to full bars...
I get it but it comes back if I use aeroplane mode on and off.
I'm in a well covered LTE area and minevnever gets higher than this. Also drops to Edge most of the day.

There are no "Wi-fi issues" as your topic suggests. It may be Verizon or another problem but its not a known established fault with this mobile. Wi-fi on my EU mobile is just great.

If you Google search any topic on earth you will find issues. Define "A lot", taking that Samsung build millions of this mobile I have yet to read a wifigate. Forgive me. I just get peeved when an owner has a problem then builds that into a 'the S8+ has a problem' and its a known established fact.
If a new member to Samsung read XDA forum on any mobile phone they would never make a purchase.
There will always be lemons. That does not translate to a world wide crisis in the S8+ having a wifi problem. There are so many threads on this forum with gripes One would think Samsung cant build a mobile phone. Some logical, reasonable, calm posting would be nice.

Wifi issues are real, and should be addressed in the same update as the screen tint fix and or the update after that. It's only an issue for some users due to the wifi router they are accessing and switching from 2.4 ghz to 5.0 ghz.
I belive At&t even acknowledged it existed but I can't find where I read that. They stated it would be addressed in the update with the tint fix, which I believe is why their update is the last to be released.
It is definitely one of the issues with the device right now. I have the unlocked UK version and I constantly get the ! issue. It's so annoying turning my wifi on and off every few hours because it keeps disconnecting randomly
Sent from my SM-G955F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I'm getting the same exact thing! So annoying!
So do I. already did the tint update. In fact it seems problems aggravate after this update ( at least for me - didn't have any before the update or at least did not notice them )
There are no wifi issues with this phone. Maybe a faulty phone or two, or an incompatible or faulty router or two, but a blanket wifi problem with the Galaxy S8+ as in a design or hardware flaw? No.
I have used mine so far with 4 completely different routers, nada problem.
I had wifi issues with my Pixel, but that was an issue with certain routers on wifi 5Ghz. Annoying but not the phones fault specifically.
To answer the question in the OP, is anything being done? I don't know, have you replaced your router or replaced your phone?
I'm having the same issue with an Australian GM-G950F. Works absolutely fine on my 2.4ghz network but my 5ghz networks both at home and at work are having endless issues (constantly disconnecting/reconnecting/getting "authentication failed) error messages.)does anyone think it's worth getting it replaced? None of my other devices have this issue.
I do have the same problem. I have a SM-G955F and i´m on T-Mobile Germany. I do not use 5gHz, only 2.4gHz on a AVM Fritzbox 7270.
I had the same problem on a T-Mobile phone I pre-ordered. After trying to make it work for 2 days, I just returned it, went to the store and got another one. The second unit works perfectly, so I can tell you that some phones have the issue, but just send it back and get another one...
I have issues and have gone over my data. AT&T said they are aware of the issue and will NOT charge me for any overage of data.
I had these same issues. Newest update fixed it for me!! I'm on sprint
I'm also on Verizon and having similar WiFi issues, but they get worse depending on how I'm holding the phone. This probably exists on all phones to an extent, but I've never experienced such a dramatic decrease in WiFi signal strength from a simple gesture on a phone.
In particular, if I'm about 75 ft from a wifi router and if I cup and grab my palm and hand over the top of the phone, my signal will go from 80 dBm to disconnected.

8T having data/radio issues ... After EU conv

So I'm seeing this issue back in January from other users forgive me for wanting a rebooted thread on current software.
I have a KB2007 with a build now that of
11.0.10.10 GLOBAL-EU KB2005BA
Originally purchased from Sprint, after the merger was given T-Mobile SIM cards and if I call tech support route through T-Mobile SIM network is T-Mobile everything's T-Mobile.
Before the conversion didn't have radio issues and I called tech support today they had me pull the Sim rebooted put to sim back in and rebooted again. It seem help ( before I literally had no connection for phone calls without Wi-Fi calling) as now it can at least show 5G connection. However the upload speeds are concerning I think? I live in Kansas City and have amazing signal coverage typically even in a tunnel LOL
People take a look at this and give me your thoughts? I was about to roll it back over to the TMO software earlier, I was that frustrated.
Bootloader unlocked- Magisk w/ minor modules
Thank you for your time in advance

@OP6Tluvvvaa,
First off, I want to thank you for the level of detail in your post. Usually, when I respond to a post, I have to start with numerous questions, just to determine what the actual question is.
I happen to own a KB2007 on T-Mobile and I am VERY happy with it.
My 5G speeds have been excellent. I live in Las Vegas, which is rated like T-Mobile's #2 network site by speed on connection.
One thing I CAN tell you is you should not under any condition be establishing an HSPA+ connection for your mobile network.
Your speed test App, however, shows you have an LTE connection, which seems much more likely in line with the speed you are getting.
Your download speeds are actually not bad, but your upload speeds are anemic.
Where I live (at home), I actually get better upload than downloads speeds on my 5G connections, this is very uncommon, however.
What is your full BASEBAND version under About phone->Status ?
The BASEBAND code largely determines how the 5G connection is established, and the resultant upload/downloads speeds.
In the USA, if you are on T-Mobile's network, you should have
BASEBAND version: MPSS.HI.2.0.c9-00145-SDX55_RMTEFS_PACK-1.367946.14
if you have a european BASEBAND version, this could be causing your problems.
I'll check right now, what blows me away is that I cannot be the only 2007 model that did the conversion, that is experiencing the issue right? You think it would be widespread baseband issues or not connecting to the right ones.. and that debloating aside it would have been massively talked about on XDA?

			
				
Yes, you definitely have an older BASEBAND.
The thing is that on the T-Mobile branded OnePlus phones, T-Mobile supplies custom T-Mobile specific BASEBAND code for the build.
That's the main reason I hesitate to install a "GLOBAL" image to my phone.
I figure that T-Mobile is going to supply the fastest, most optimized code for their network.
Let me to a little research on this. I am pretty sure you can install "just" BASEBAND code on your phone if you are rooted.

The thing is that on the T-Mobile branded OnePlus phones, T-Mobile supplies custom T-Mobile specific BASEBAND code for the build.
That's the main reason I hesitate to install a "GLOBAL" image to my phone.
I figure that T-Mobile is going to supply the fastest, most optimized code for their network.
Let me to a little research on this. I am pretty sure you can install "just" BASEBAND code on your phone if you are rooted.

You think it would be widespread baseband issues or not connecting to the right ones.. and that debloating aside it would have been massively talked about on XDA?

I bought a Nord N10 5G about 6 months ago and I found it wasn't actually connecting to 5G AT ALL.
See this post I made:
How 5G Enabled is your Nord N10 5G ?
I have been noting that my Nord N10 5G isn't getting any better of a connection than my old 4G phone, so I set out to see which bands I was connecting on and which were actually enabled on the phone. I have done this in the past on various...
forum.xda-developers.com
Many other owners of this phone confirmed the same thing, so I returned mine to Nord
What else contained in a firmware package? And buy T-Mobile firmware is that what I'm getting rid of when I do a conversion? Is the baseband contained within that
