This sounds really stupid but try not moving when you put in the address.. unless I'm out in the open my Google gps won't give me a route until I stand still

I am having the same issues. If your GPS is locking right away what radio are you guys using?

This is annoying.... I have tried all possible GPS fixes there are out there and nothing at all works...
I am running the 1.16.00.042w_1 baseball firmware...
It's the news one... Is that what everyone else is running???

I was having problems until I read into it a little. What I did was download the app GPS Status off of the android market. Once opened pressed menu, tools, manage A-GPS State. I clicked reset first then did the above again and then clicked the download option. Then I turned on all 3 gps settings (vzw, google, and local gps) and bam it just worked. I hope this helps a little.

Why is my 3g faster than my 4g?

Stock rooted running lean kernal set on normal. It takes forever to surf the web, facebook even the xda app on 4g. on wifi its quick and 3g its fast. Any ideas tried gb rom and radio and same thing. I live in pittsburgh pa..

I live in Pittsburgh and just tested my speeds. 14.46 Down and 2.04 Up. I would say that is plenty fast.
This is on CM7.

it must be just in the mckeesport pa area, cause when i got home i turned off my wifi rebooted and 4g works great in the city on both froyo and gb roms, but at work in mckeesport 4g sucks.

Mime gets weak signal too I have Linksys wireless n but it was a cheaply so its my fault
.......infuse.....Infused....infusion.........

ohhh, ok.
how can I know?

I just got my infuse and my data through wifi is horrid as well. I have a euro SGS2 also and got the infuse to play around with... The wifi is so slow its unbearable... Side by side comparison is a joke.. I hope this isnt normal. running infused oc'ed to 1.6, but the wifi was absolutely crawing on stock as well so i dont think what im running has anything to do with it. If somebody has a tweak that iv missed, it would be greatly appriciated!

Oh, and i have the newest dualband aiport extreme with two airport express's acting as repeaters.... Getting 65mbps... Not the router.

If it's that slow you'll need to test by connecting to other access points to see if you get the same speeds on other equipment. If you do, first thing I'd try is another ROM. If the problem persists I'd get a new phone.
That's just me. You guys do what you want.

Yeah, thats what i was thinking... I was at a hotel this weekend running stock and it was crazy slow... Thought it was the access point... Got home, still the same... New phone time!

Is it just me or does the shift have bad WiFi Range??

On my evo i had twice the range my shift does. Idk if their is a booster to increase the range but its horrid. i have to be with in 15 feet of the router in order to actually get wifi which is stupid.
I dont think its my wifi router cause the settings are all the same as they were before when i had my evo.

I get great range.

I have great range on mine. All the way to the backyard outside. Couple of things to check are, make sure your router isn't sitting on the floor. Also make sure there's not a bunch of stuff blocking the router ( like in front of it or around it ) . When I moved all the crap that was in front of my router. Then raised up onto a shelf, the range at which I could get signal from it increased dramatically.

Personally I think i my old hero had better wifi range than my shift. With my Shift im lucky to get one bar in my bedroom, but with my Hero i had 2 bars in the same spot.

Go to wifi settings -> menu -> advanced -> regulatory domain -> 14 channels -> wifi sleep policy -> never
Shift has 802.11n 2.4ghz. If you're still having problems run Wifi Analyzer and figure out your local network problems.
Shift does Wifi fine.

I am running Synergy Rom, and i also clicked the Best WiFi Performance and turned it on.

Ok well i turned on the best performance and that didnt even increase the range.. the range still still sucks on this thing. but the speed when im actually AT my wireless router (so much for being wireless if im stuck with in 5 feet of it ) is pretty darn fast.

Sounds like its your router or a problem with your ISP. You should for sure be able to connect further than 5 ft away. I would Download WiFi analyzer like VICODAN suggested.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

I did download that app but what am i suppose to do with it. The signal feed is total jumped high for a few secs but half the time even with 5 feet away it was very low on the bottom two bars of it. Is there a way to increase the range that my linksys cisco router gives off. Its not a cheaper router either i think i spent $150 on it like a couple months ago. Im gonna try a new rom, any suggestions as to picking CM7 or nightlies for better wifi cause i prefer wifi over crappy 3G anyday. Im currently on supremesense v5 but I just dont like the drop down notification bar in other roms, i like the sense version more.

Cm7 are good roms, I would recommend synergy ROM if you like sense. I was having connection problems while I ran supreme sense v5 the other day, and with mikeshifted g, but no problems with synergy ROM.

I was skeptical about trying synenergy due to how many issues i had on my evo, but i will try it here on the evo shift. Thank you.

I had constant crashes on going back to home screen, Apps did not wanna load properly, and i did not recieve text messages alot of the time.

I haven't had any problems like that yet and hopefully I won't, because so far this is a great ROM.

I will give it a shot. so far i like the evo shift more in some aspects but this wifi thing on any rom is just dreadful... and its not just my Wireless router. its at my friends house too.

I upgraded from the HTC hero and I had way WiFi better signal on it than on my shift but personally I like the shift over and phone Sprint offers right now. But back on subject you could go to Sprint and let them look at it and see if anything wrong but they would probably just blame it on being rooted.

[Q] Extremely bad internet speeds after rooting

Hello, so basically I have rooted my Speedy from 2.3.4 by using the bootloader unlock method posted by VICODAN in his tutorial but now I find that I am having insanely slow download/upload speeds compared to before rooting.
I have flashed the latest radio after finding THIS thread and I also tried the method from HERE to try and at least boost my speeds. I have also updated my profile and PRL through my Sense rom but nothing seems to help.
If anyone could give me any advice I would greatly appreciated it. I am on MikShifted-G v2.1 running dodgekernal v1.6. Thanks in advance.
I would also like to know if there is any way that I can go back to the stock 2.3.4 GB.

Welcome to sprint, the not now, maybe later network... :beer:

Well I've found that your speeds depend on what time of day it is. I know that's BS, but it's what I've found. Posted some Screen Shots Below of my Speeds.

The only time I get decent speeds from sprint is at night. Like 2am night.

You could also try the 3G Turbo Charger. You'll find it on THIS thread. Just make sure to read before installing.

Maybe you had roaming enabled in your old/stock rom and it's turned off be default in your new rom?

Well the thing is that I had perfectly fine speeds in my area prior to rooting.
I downloaded the "Network signal speeds booster" and "Fresh netowork booster", both from the play store and I am having almost back to normal speeds now, there was a dramatic increase in speed after I used both of those.
But I have also looked at the 3G Turbo Charger thread that prboy linked and I will definitely be trying that as well

Try turning off data roaming.

What does that do exactly?

I Just noticed this (several months later), but prboy, for your top screenshot you're connected to 4G, and in the bottom you're using 3G? I think in yours specifically it was only the connection you were using and not actually the time of day...

Well I've actually redone the Tests recently. Certain times of the day in my area must have some Heavy Network Traffic. Because the Network does slow down at the same times daily. But only during the week . Strangely enough I just noticed that I posted the wrong Screenshot . Although I do have to admit I'm not exactly a Scientist .

Haha yeah, but thats good to know, and yes, kinda weird that you would get faster speed on weekends you would think that it would be the other way around.
But anyway, thanks for sharing your results, I've done some tests recently too and they seem to be following a similar pattern...so even though you may not be a scientist, there is some truth to what you said
Sent from my PG06100

Yeah it's really bad from like 5 to 8 PM... You wanna see good 3G speeds, get on there at 3 or 4 AM, crazy good speeds cuz nobody's using the network... Except people like me who set stuff to download before they go to bed LOL

My 3g is really bad and it does not matter what time of day. 4g does not exist here, I am going to try 3g supercharger this weekend and see if I can make some progress.

I've had good results with the 3G TurboCharger. It just took a few tries before I found the correct setting. Downloading the App Speedtest.net will help you dial it in.

Tried 3g supercharger without any sucess. Perhaps someday the signal will get better.

That sucks . You could try a different PRL. You just have to be very careful when using different PRL's.

You can change the PRL without QSPT if your on a Sense Rom. Check out THIS Guide. Just be warned using certain PRL's can get you into issues with Sprint because of constant Roaming. Also you may want to do a search for the latest PRL's, as the ones linked in the post seem to be bit old.
