The best settings for 3G speed.... - Thunderbolt General

I'm only getting 1.5M down speeds and I'm sure thats not right. I'm in a 3G area.

1.5 is decent. No settings you can really change...

1.5 is good for 3g.. i'm not sure what you're confused abo ut?

OH, OK thanks. Me=(Rookie)

That's pretty good for Verizon 3G, depressing once you have done a speed test in a 4G area.

how do you do a speed test ? *NOOB*

1.5 mb on 3g is pretty good the most i gotten on verizon 3g is 2.2 mb. I may be slow to some industry but at least I get 3g everywhere they have coverage

Those are excellent speeds for this phone. You are on HSPA+ for sure, otherwise you'd be getting less than 1-3 Mbps down/0.5-1.0 Mbps up if you were on 3G only.
Also your phone should say "4G" right in the status bar, which is what T-Mobile calls HSPA+.
I didn't mean the lame comment but I knew it would get me results. I do average between 4 and as high as 11 mbps so the speeds reflect hspa+ I just assumed it would say hspa+ not hspa in my settings.

This is the expected behaviour. He was talking about the label for "4G" or HSPA+ in settings. HSPA+ is simply T-Mobile's version of 4G. Which, for what it's worth, isn't technically 4G.
The status bar indicator isn't accurate. Side-by-side, my G2 with Mobile Signal PRO shows 3G while the G2X never moves from 4G. Mobile Signal PRO never registers anything above 3G on the G2X which is weird. I have friends that use it on Samsung and HTC phones and it's always spot-on and it's always been accurate on my G2. I think there's something funky going on with the LG radio software.
its propably not fully optimized for the g2x yet

It works on a friends P990 in the Netherlands so it must be specific to the T-Mobile version of the radio. I e-mailed the dev to find out what's up.
There will not be an H or H+ icon... its 4g... hspa is too many letters for the general public to deal with...
Also, Phoenix does not have 4g yet however I am getting the 4g signal when i am on UMTS.. YOU DONT FOOL ME TMOBILE! I am pretty sure there is not even a 3g icon on our phones, anyone wanna get into the files and look? I am on campus and cannot check this but I think it would be funny if they did not even install a 3g icon lol

I'm getting "4G" on my phone here in Tempe (though I understand that isn't technically Phoenix but...) Just curious. Since you are in the same vicinity as I am... What are your average connection speeds? I'm about to a run test for mine as I type this...

Hey, if you're happy with your speeds, then that's all that matters. lol
I used to get better speeds. Not sure what happened.
So you're happy with 2G speeds?

Me? nope... I used to get 6mbps down and 2mbps up
I think they are working on the towers here in my area.
I did notice the speeds are not 100% all the time, they jump from 2 - 6 Mbps depending on time of day / weather / and everything else but knowing the phone "can hit 6" makes me feel better about "when AT&T" gets everything going it *should* be pretty fast

We don't have backhaul up and running yet in Cincinnati, but these were the fastest speeds that I've pulled on a speed test. I'm usually in the 2500kbps down/1500kbps up range.

Here's one in an unmolested CM7 N82 or 83 install, can't remember which.
No apn changes, no build.prop changes. Just the radio from the ota update w/out the ril since it tends to hose wifi and GPS for me.

TB 3g speeds

I hear TB has a different version of 3g. What is different? Is it the voice and data at the same time version?
What are the speeds?
It is voice/data, not sure the speeds.
sent from my BAMF Thunderbolt!
Speed Tests here in NY were showing anywhere from 400k-600k down and about 100k up on 3G.
It's not actually a different 3g, but a revision of the current 3g that allows for faster handoffs from 3g to 4g. Speeds should be the same as any other 3g phone.

Even if you don't live in a 4G area you still get voice and data at the same time.

Typical 3G speeds.
I usually get 2.5 down and 1 up. I live in a rural area and am surprised I even get 3g.

LTE Issues in NYC (6/27/11)

Anyone having DL speed issues in NYC today? Speeds were awesome this morning, 20mb dl and 6mb up. Now I can't get over 1 mb in dl but uploads are still good. I'm running the 402 radio and a co-worker is running stock and his speeds are effected as well.
If so, this would be my first LTE semi-outage. I'm new to Verizon and was wondering if these things are frequent.
Same in Boston, upload speeds are fine but can't get over 1Mbps down. I've heard they're supposedly working on the networks right now. I don't use 4G all the time, this is the first I've personally seen speeds be this slow.

I've been on 3g all day today in the Chicago area, I figured they were doing some kind of network tweaking, been having great battery life though!

Hmm, well atleast I'm not alone. On the phone with Verizon, they show no issues in their system. I'm rooted and my co-worker isn't, same speed issue though.

I'm in Chicago and 4g has been fine for me the entire day, 16 mbps down and 4mbps up right now. (jefferson park is my current location)
Seems to be the network as a whole here in NYC. Another co-worker has the droid incredible (Stock unrooted) on 3G he normally pulls 4-5mb and can't get over .40 currently. Glad to know I don't have to flash different radios, etc.

yea it was perfectly fine at work last night, was watching my shows on youtube and flash sites since my job hates me with the killing of flash and most websites access
Been on the 3G network the last 3 days here in Atlanta. Today 1X only. Called Verizon they are currently experiencing issues in my area. Also said Please allow a couple of days to regain full speeds. I recently updated roms to BAMF 1.8 Remix. Had good 4G for a couple of days befor this so Im pretty sure its not the ROM.
I've been on campus all day using wifi, but I did notice that it kept showing 3G when I moved between repeaters. NJ right across the Hudson.

Expected average data speed?

So I was wondering speeds should I be expecting with the infuse in an average ATT HSDPA network
I am averaging 1.4 -1.7 Mbps, with highest 2.52 Mbps
Normal?

I does depend on where you are and what is avail. I asked the very same question the other day and really no one had much to say except try different modems. I live in a small town in Northern CA. and average 1.6mbps but have seen 4.00 a cpl times. I am on my 5th modem to test...some are horrible for me but others say it is fantastic. Theere is a super thread for infuse...look there...they are all posted in CWM flashable zips.
