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.

I have been having issues with the 4g in Phoenix. Is anybody else having similar problems?
The market won't open. Dolphin can't connect. Mobile HotSpot can't connect. Just making sure it isn't just my phone...
Seems to be fine here. I was downtown earlier. And now in scottsdale. Had an issue with random reboot and visual voicemail but otherwise all good

I had it drop out on me a couple times yesterday (I'm around the I-17 and Peoria), VZW has acknowledged there are some issues with the network that they are working on.
Work in Tempe and live in E. Mesa and 4G is very sporadic for me.

My 4g has been horrible. The icon will show up but I can't access any data even after a reboot.

What kind of speed are you guys getting? I am getting 6 to 7 down and 3 to 4 upload speeds on average when on 4G.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Mine has been a bit wonky today...full 4G, then nothing, then full 4G, then nothing, then 3G, then 4G, etc.
I just keep thinking Verizon is working on the network. I kind of expect it with 4G being so new. I'm just loving it...mostly. The dropouts do get annoying...mostly because they only seem to happen when I want data for some reason.

Thanks guys. I have been flashing Rom after Rom trying to see if that was the problem. When the times are good, I have been getting up to 16mbps today, just keeps dropping for no reason. So I will keep my cool and hope this gets cleaned up soon!
Just wanting to show off yesterday's speed tests after reflashing a million times finally happy! Also wanting to see what kind of speeds everyone else is getting!

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

Yeah keep rubbing it in LOL. Are you still able to get those speeds?
My 4G data speeds are usually around 6mb/s in my area but they just dropped to 300kb in my area. I called customer support and confirmed there are no outages in my area nor am I being throttled. I have already pulled my SIM to no fix. Anyone have any other ideas?

Heavy usage straining the network in your area? I have seen some random speed drops in my area, either my phone is connected to a farther tower or the network is getting hit harder at that moment. Thats what I chalked mine up to at least. Speeds returned to normal after a little while.
Its been going on for 5 hours.

What do u mean its normal? I have got 5mb/s in this location (at work) for the past year. Now all of a sudden my upload speeds are completely normal and my download speeds are hitting less than 100 kb/s. I don't see anything normal about that. Not to mention, everything was fine for the first 2 hours in this location.

I got that sometimes as well..Speed test same location sometimes a got 5Mb/s,and sometimes got 300Kbps.I don't know why either.May be many people use t-mobile's network and download something so you get pretty low speed.

Ok, it is now 12:30Am where I live and the speeds have been the same for 6 hours. I know this tower hasn't been crowded for 6 hours straight with people downloading things when it hasn't been crowded in the middle of the day for the past year. Something is wrong and I promise you, it is not due to people downloading on the same tower. You don't just download over 5mb/s every single day for the past year and then 300kb/s the next day. Sorry but it doesn't happen . Especially during off peak hours at 12:30 in the morning.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Impossible no, implausible yes.
While you might not have an outage in your area perhaps they are doing maintenance and cut a few towers down transferring the load around to surrounding towers. This does not signify an outage as you have not lost service.
Anything on your phone calling out for data in the background?
Does the phone still register 4g or has it dropped to 3 / 2g? Have you rebooted the phone? Disabled / re-enabled data connection on the phone? Are you using an application or website to gather your speed data? have you tried both to see if just an application or website is mis reporting?

It is still registering as 4G. My upload speeds are normal but download is not. I have restarted the phone multiple times, I've pulled the SIM, I've switched to WCDMA only and back to auto again. I have been using the Speed Test app to test the speeds and they are right because web pages are taking minutes to load. I am on my works WiFi right now which is fine. Those speeds are normal.

Personally I'd wait it out. If speeds are not back from a week from now, I would most definitely contact customer loyalty. Tell them youre unhappy with the service, etc and you jut purchased a new phone. maybe you can get out of contract or maybe they can look into your problem to a further extent.

Yea, I just hope it doesn't happen when I go home in the morning where I also get speeds greater than 5 MB/s and my house is about 15 towers away. If it happens, then we know its a problem with the phone. I don't think Customer loyalty can do anything g for me being I am not on contract and they just recently gave me a free Sensation while remaing off contract. They also let me keep my G2X so they have done more than enough. I just want a replacement if there is something wrong with it. Hopefully there's not.

Nah, I called them when I first noticed it to see if there was a outage in my area or if I was being throttled. I already said I called them in a previous post.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Weird, I wonder if they could be throttling you on accident and it had not shown up in the system yet or whomever you asked about the outage was not looking properly.
Anyone else you know with the same phone or 4g device that can test and see?
Outside of pursuing phone problems and Tmobile issues in your area I'm outta ideas
(UPDATE)...... My phone is perfectly fine everywhere else and I am now back at work where I am on the same tower I got these slow speeds on. I am chalking it up to a problem with this tower since my phone is fine everywhere else.

Let me know and if there's any fix that I can do myself, let me know that too.

I am on BAMF 1.0.9 and have been since it was released, so it's not a ROM issue for me.

Same problem in Akron on an doff Monday evening and in Ravenna Tuesday afternoon. I did pick up a spot of 4g on 76 west just around 14. I typically loose or regain 4g between brimfield and Tallamadge exits. Maybe Verizon is upgrading.

Clearly an issue with authenticating to Verizon 3G eHRPD and 4G LTE network. If you were previously successfully authenticated and the lifetime timer hasn't expired which would otherwises force a reauthentication or you haven't toggled airplane mode then you probably still have data. If you've completely lost data you can at least restore 3G EVDO since it uses a different authentication method that still works by doing ##778#.
It's been 3g, 4g and out completely sense 2pm here in Kettering.
Where I work, there is generally only edge network speeds (AT&T). In my building though, we have cell repeaters. While getting close to the repeaters, I can put my skyrocket into airplane mode and then re-enable the radios and suddenly, I'll get 4G (albeit slow 4G ~ 800kb/s-1.1 Mb/s) speeds.
1. Why wouldn't the phone auto-switch to the better network
2. Why can I get 4G through the repeater, when outside my building I can only get Edge? Seems more plausible that the repeater would cause even more loss on the network throughput...
just curious to see what others think about this.
The repeater is powered with a much better antenna than your cell. So it can pick up the 4g signal where your phone can't. It then sends that signal to you. So it doesn't surprise me that you get 4g service around it when you normally wouldn't without it. What does surprise me is why your phone doesn't automatically pick that up. Dunno

even weirder was that until I updated to ICS recently, I couldn't even get the 4G, while everyone with Iphones could switch into airplane mode and back and get 3G at least. odd.

yeah, it's not "real" 4G for sure. I'm only getting a max of 1Mb/s down. Usually around 400-500kb/s. but definitely beats out 15kb/s that I WAS getting
