ATT's network...

Has anyone had a problem today where your phone just cannot connect to ATT's 3G or HSPA network? For some reason, my phone is getting little-to-no signal, and if I do, it is only on GPRS... I CWM'd to my stable nandroid, but no dice, leading me to think that this problem is with the network.
What's XDA's thought on this? Possible dev issue?

Their network is just pretty terrible right now. However, by summer we'll probably be singing a different tune about ATT's coverage when the iPhone user population will even out a bit. Also, I believe ATT threw down a few billion for network upgrades this year. It seems like they really took that Consumer Reports article to heart, so I actually see good things in the future.

i haven't had 3G in 24+ hours in NJ. stock, non-rooted.

Must be location specific; -51 dB and HSDPA in Dallas

It happens every now and then in las vegas usually right after a flash. I start to change modems and other stuff then realize "dammit I bet the network is screwed up" sure enough next day things are working again. Damn phone companys lol

You're quite close to where I am, it's probably regional then, but my old crappy phones' 3G is working fine though...

funny thing metro pcs is working better than ATT in south florida. metro is known for bad bad reception

No problems with 3G at the places I frequent in the Tampa Bay area.
I've not had any problems with 3G connections this year.

interesting.. i spent a few hours yesterday with my phone going in and out with GPRS and no network connection at all. i've had fairly consistent EDGE ever since. i normally see 5 bars of 3G at my current location (newark, NJ).
reboots and battery pulls seem to have no effect.

-99db & HSDPA here in Tampa Bay area.

No AT&T 3G here...but I use edge network, get mostly 3 to 5 bars mostly indoors or outdoors depending on location. At my work, it's pretty good signal and get around 150-180kbps speed but at home is slower which is around 100-125kbps or slower, probably. I usually use wifi at my home with my own internet.

Out of Davenport, IA and I have great HSDPA signal running Perception 10.1 with the included 2.6.32.9 Firebird Kernel. I have flashed a bunch of DGs ROMs and never had issues with connectivity (voice or data).

I also get that the sim card.has been removed and its pissing me off.... btw, im on phoenix 3.5 with a setiron 1.5.6

I have 3G again, but regardless of HSPA or UMTS, I am getting .06Mbps down and about .4Mbps up. I have absolutely no idea why. I'm in Bridgewater, NJ.
I am in much the same predicament as you, reboots and pulls don't help. I've gone a step further and flashed 5 different ROMs today, no luck.

actually my 3G just came back a few hours ago too. 2-4 Mbps down and about 0.3 Mbps up, which are normal 3G speeds for me. and i didn't do anything to my phone, 3G just magically reappeared after at least a full 24 hours of only EDGE. strange.

Las Vegas + ATT = terrible.
I just went on a 2 say trip there, took me 2 hours to download a 37kb attachment with full bars. I'd get 30 text messages at once an hour late, with full bars.
If I had to work on the strip I'd drop att in a heartbeat... that is totally unfunctional!!
I've been fine elsewhere... and maybe that's just a bad day /spot... but damn!

My definition of normal is >3Mbps down, >1.5Mbps up... How is yours so different when you are so near? I get these speeds regardless if I'm on HSUPA or UMTS. I tend to use the latter to save battery.
The more I look, the more I think that ATT just capped my speeds 2 nights ago. This is crap. No modem change, nothing fixes it.

[Q] 4G out again?

Anyone not getting 4G again? I've been bouncing between 1x and 3G all morning. Unless it has to do with the new dasBAMF but I highly doubt that.

...

still 4G in houston, texas

try updating to 1.6 i was getting bad 4g reception on 1.5 but now its perfect i am on the remix though

Had 4G yesterday in Jersey. Woke up this morning, no data at all. Had to manually turn it off and back on. Now 3G. Running Remix 1.6. Had same problems even before rooting.

I'm running on 4G right now in Detroit.

no problem with 4g in south carolina

atlanta, GA - no data at all
on bamf remix 1.5 since a week ago
*edit* just got to work and it's fine

Where in SC have they flipped the 4G switch?
Thunderbolt + DAS BAMF + UOT Mods

Chicago- stuck on 3G or none at all
EDIT- lol as soon as I post this 4G comes back.

I had to enable rev.a then re-enable eHRPD for some reason and it returned. Very weird.

mine goes from 4G to no data and i have to go into radio info under wireless & networks and turn the radio off and back on and 4G comes back on for a couple of hours and i have to do it again I have BAMF 1.6 remix with new radio Tennessee

We had NO data at all for most of the day yesterday in Nashville then only 3G at night. Woke this morning and been on 4G most of the day but it has flashed to 3G a few times... VZW apparently can't get their **** together... though with that said today the battery drain from the 4G is WAY down from what it was before whatever they did yesterday (unless it's the ROM, but this much difference I find hard to believe, running BAMF 1.6)

Same here in Pittsburgh.

Not worth it though, it's still switching back and forth between 3g and 4g. Draining my battery. So, I did the ##778# thing.

Talked to a Verizon rep just now and she said all is still fubar for the Thunderbolt network. To Verizon: In the words of Keyshawn Johnson, "Come on, man"! Lol.

Ide really like to try a TB again but these threads make me second guess why I even want to bother

4G functioning fine in CT

wifi/radio version question

ok here's my question. first does the wifi router effect the up & down speeds. At home i have a N router at work I have a G one.My speeds at home are are much faster close to 5mbps at work under 1mbps. does the radio version effect this? My radio is 12.39.60.19p 26.06.04.06_m. I'm running coredroid gingerbread rom

sound like average normale UNLOCKED HSPA ATT Speeds, i get 4.3m in orlando FL

What the hell dude, read what the OP is asking. Yes we already know you're getting 4.3m in Orlando, you've said this in like 5 threads now. The OP is asking about WiFi, and HSPA is not relevant to this.

Yes, the router can make the difference in speeds. Your radio version is the old stock one before last week's OTA update, and is perfectly fine for good WiFi speeds. As a matter of fact, every version of radio I've tried (including yours) I've always gotten good WiFi speeds - around 13MB/s at my house (I have a 20Mb/s connection). Sounds like there's a misconfiguration on your work router, or some other issue - but I wouldn't worry about your radio version.

More people on the connection is going to slow it down as well. I'm assuming there are more people on the work connection than your home connection.

EVO SHift 3G Network question

I don't have cable internet where i live due to the fact i travel to and from class way to much to use it. I tethered my phone via wireless or usb to my computer and run off of the 3g network speeds. I currently switch between CM7 and then new EVO Shift 2.3.3 leaked GB Test ROM. I noticed that i have 57% signal according to opensignal and when i download anything or load web pages they are very slow no matter how many bars i have. My download speeds are usually around 20kbps to 55kbps max Is there anything i can do to increase the net speed of my 3G connection? Or is there a app on the market place that i can use to improve or some how boost my 3g network speeds.

I've noticed a little bit slower speeds using the Gingerbread leak but nothing as slow as what you are experiencing. Have you tried the fix from this thread? [FIX] 3G Upload & Download Speeds

Sprints network for Michigan, Ohio and all its surrounding states flat out sucks I get them speeds daily and all Sprint keeps doing is knocking 20 and 50 off my bills, I don't care about money off they either need to fix their network or that roam controlling app is going to get me out of contract etf free I don't care to pay good money for good service but when I pay 160 a month for 2 lines I would expect to be getting the 3G Sprint lies and says I get,

Have you flashed the new radio found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082192 its the radio that came out with the gingerbread ruu. I had the same issue. I was using the old radio on the new roms and my 3g speeds where about 50-90 kbps then upgraded the new radio now I'm getting on average anywhere between 300-700kbps

Ah is that what it was. I flashed a new rom the other day with the sense 2.1 and everything was cool except the 3g data speed. It was taking 5-10 minutes to download a 1mb file so I had to restore my other rom lol. My normal 3g data speeds are over 1mbps which is super fast. I couldnt even browse the web with the leaked build, it was ridiculous.

Wow when mine hit 700 kbps I thought that was fast. I came from T-Mobile and was getting 2-3mbps on their 3g also my girlfriend uses Comcast to go which uses the Sprint towers for the service and she gets 1.5 to 3 mbps speeds

hey
going to try what one do you guys do "1.17.651.1 RUU (Stock):" or 2.72.651.2 RUU: i dont have 4g here

i believe 1.17.651.1 ruu is the stock version that's already on your phone, for people that want to flash back to stock settings if the new radio fails to perform. you should flash to 2.72.651.2 if you want an attempt at an upgrade. personally, it did nothing on my end for the internet, but voice calls did slightly improve. i encountered problems too, where it would hang on the htc splash screen. i don't have an sd card adapter... so i had to put my micro in my old htc hero, run that as a mass storage unit, delete PG06IMG from the computer, boot into bootloader, delete everything, clean cache, davilk (i think that's what it's called), and re-load from nandroid backup. after that i saw 1.08... in about phone, baseband version so i guess i was successful lol. pain in the ass, but will further test it later outside and stuff... once the heat drops down over her in n.y. :]

Besides the fact that my 3G speeds crawl. My 4G is SLOWER on occaison than my 3G. Lol, why is this and how can I fix? It all started when I first flashed cm7

Sprint Mikshifted 2.1
I was wondering the number i had to enter to access the network settings for the mikshifted 2.1 mod. I tried to enter ##3282# and no luck with that . I noticed that my 3g speeds were 20kbps and its horrible lol. Have flashed the new radio on a previous version of CM7 and Kingdom 3.0 rom and didn't work so hot for me. Anyone have any recommendations?

Who else has bad 4g speeds?

I live in a good 4g coverage area, and still sometimes I notice it being really slow. I'll run the speedtest app, and I'll get speeds of 1Mbps or slower. When I power cycle the phone, and re-run the test, it jumps to 9Mbps. And turning airplane mode on and off does not have the same affect.
Is this happening to anyone else? I'm also looking to see if this does happen to others, if they are also having SD card issues, to see if maybe there's a connection.

Having the same problem everywhere on all connections. I have had multiple replacements from VZW but no luck. WiFi is even slow at home which is a 20mbps connection. Should have stuck with my rezound.

Well that's not very reassuring...have you tried any different ROMs or radios?

I only get 10-12 tops. I used to get 40 when i had my TBolt but I guess with a lot more people on the network. It would happen

I'm on AOKP JB Unofficial Buld 1. Best I've got is 25 Mbps Down 17 up. Haven't tried on any other kernel or ROM

I, thankfully, knock on wood, haven't experienced any slow 4G speeds. But oddly my signal bars never jump above 2. Even in areas that are fully 4G supported areas. It occurred in New York City as well which was odd as heck. The download speeds though are like that of someone with better signal strength.
For those who wish to know I am using Cyanogen Mod 10.

My speeds are horrible i downloaded the phone info apk to go back to 3g where it's by far faster. Not sure if it's the phone or the tower being overloaded. Some guys i work with have fast connections where other guys are like me and it crawls, all using different phones. I'm on stock rooted.

Just tested it out again, 17mbit up and 2.87 down...its faster in both up/down than the wifi network i connect to near by.

For those of you having bad 4g speeds, I would suggest trying out different modems. When I was on the release modem, i was getting about 5mb/s, after upgrading to the 'OTA' modem I jumped up to 15mb/s. Not the best speeds, but a definite improvement.
