I just migrated from theN1 to the NS and my 3g speeds seem slow in speedtest. downloads are around 2000kbps which is usual for the rogers network in my area, but uploads are around 60-80kbps and pin times are almost 200ms. I'm using the Koodo version on the Rogers network.

Updating the baseband to KB3 or KD1 should fix up your upload speed.
Are those radios compatible with the 9020a?
Any links to them?

I've successfully flashed both of the following radios via fastboot onto my i9020a (after extracting the radio.img from the zip of course):

KD1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13315514&postcount=122
I flashed the kd1 radio and my ping has improved as well as download speeds. Upload is still stuck around 60kbps

Hmm that is strange, I was running cm7.0.2 with KB3 and KD1 and had normal 1.1-1.2mb upload speeds. Over on hofo there was a thread where quite a few folks were complaining about capped upload speeds with the NS, people were focused on the source of the issue being the KB2 radio, but it is seeming more like some sort of network issue in Quebec and Ontario as I have never seen capped upload speeds over multiple android phones here in Vancouver. It may be worth doing a nandroid backup, wipe and CM7 reinstall just for testing purposes though.
Here are a few threads that may be helpful:

I'll put my SIM back in my Nexus One and retest. That should rule out network problems.
This is clearly a local Montreal issue. I'm in Toronto this week and HSUPA is almost 1000kbps.
I am experiencing very slow 3g data speeds with my i9020a (AT&T US). I have never gone above 400kbs down on full bar 3g signal.
What's the deal here? I thought the i9020a was compatible with AT&T bands? 3g lights up, but data is just slow. My baseband after the 2.3.4 update is I9020AUCKD1.
Is there a radio flash I can do to get 3g speeds? If not, this thing is going back to Amazon. It's very annoying.
Just went to an AT&T store and they guy changed some settings on my account (I had a 4g plan with my Atrix). Initially, this resulted in faster speeds, but now they have dropped back down to like 300 kbs down on 3g and 100 up on 3g.
I'm so irritated with this. I'm most likely going to return it and go back to my Atrix. It sucks bigtime as I really like the Nexus S.
Is there anything else I can do to speed this thing up on AT&T? Surely there are others who have the i9020a on ATT in the US?

I too have an i9020a on ATT in the Denver Metro area - I applied the 2.3.4 update and saw abysmal upload and download speeds with the bundled radio. I flashed the KB3 radio and immediately saw improvement - consistant 2.0Meg down and 1.5 Meg up. I then went into the ATT store and switched my plan (was on an iPhone and thus had strange voicemail issues on the NS) and since, my data has been significantly slower (1.0 Meg down and .5 Meg up)...
I'm headed back there tonight to see if there is an issue in my account - otherwise, I'm going to start looking into the build.pref changes that others have referenced in the forums...
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

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.

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

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?
I've been reading throughout these forums about getting faster speeds on my inspire, and while fixes work, it still gives me inconsistent data speeds. I live in southern california (Long Beach) and my d/ls range from 500k to 3.0 mbps (the highest I've ever gotten was 3.6), while my uploads are almost always around 1 mbps. Is there any way to get a more consistent download speed?

There's a ton of stuff to take into consideration, just to be honest:
* Speeds will vary wildly depending on the time of day, amount of network traffic, work being performed by AT&T in your general area, etc....
* The ROM you're using can affect speeds based on how the build.prop has been modified, or how you yourself may have modified the build properties file. id10terrordfw's thread is HERE ...and IsraelR's thread is HERE
* Radio/RIL combination. If the ROM suggests a particular radio and you've made the switch (along with flashing the respective RIL), it will take a few days for the combo to "settle in" and provide speeds that are relatively stable. Several different radios can work for the same ROM, so finding the one that works best for you can be a real crapshoot. You just need to be patient and try a few different radios if you feel the need to do so. tribalartgod's radio thread is HERE
* APN settings. You may need to look into adding a 2nd (and possibly even a 3rd) APN to get optimized data speeds. Some people benefit from this, while others may not. Adding a 2nd APN helped my speeds with MIUI, but wasn't needed with Gingerbeast, CM7, or Ninja. henrybravo's APN thread is HERE
* mudknot speaks the truth, lol. Don't forget that AT&T has been known for inconsistency in data speeds, so all of us run into problems at times. Until 4G is properly deployed, data speeds will be hit and miss at best. It'll get better over time, but the wait never is fun. Try a few things and see how it goes, but as always, grab a Nandroid before making changes. Good luck.
Thanks for all the help. I'll keep experimenting!

Ok, so I've been all thru the RIL thread, the radio thread, and pretty much every other regarding improving the data connection for Tmobile guys like me after flashing a new rom but the information I'm looking for is either too scattered or doesn't exist so here we go...
To all my fellow Tmobile'rs out there, what rom are you currently using, what radio, what RIL, and what are your data speeds averaging?
Currently I'm running:
P3Dneon 2.0
Leedroid Kernel V1.4
base: 10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15M
Ril: HTC-RIL 2.2.0159HMQ
Between 7 speedtests I did yesterday on a server 22 miles away here were my average speeds, all done between 6-11pm yesterday:
down: 2.70mbps
up: .25mbps
ping: 220
Interestingly enough, upon (so I thought) reflashing the HTC-RIL 2.2.0159HMQ today, my first speedtest immediately after yeilded 5.68mbps down/.44 up.
I attempted to repeat to see if it was consistant, but in the six tests I performed afterwards on the same server over the course of an hour I averaged
a measly .72mbps down/.22 up.
Now my phone is setup as well as it can be (wcdma preferred, phone is showing "H" and connected to hsdpa) but the data speeds are still absolutely horrible. Anyone having similiar issues or know any tricks to get the speeds back where they should be...?

It seems to me that TMOUS users are getting screwed over with the flashing of the radio or new rom in general...
I went from a 6mbps down, 2mbps up with stock rom only rooted phone, to a 3mbps down 1 mbps up with the revHD and LD. I was on the recommended Radio for revHD and Stock radio with LD.
Running the stock rom with S - off and rooted. I am getting a very strong 7 - 9 MB Down and 3 MB up. Live in a suburb of Boston. These are speeds I'm getting during peak hours. (10 am - 6pm)
I do not want to loose those speeds so I'm waiting for a while to see the speeds others are maintaining after flashing new roms.

On a sidenote, I remember when I first got my vibrant (not 4g) and at times i would average 4-600kbs/sec...I'm not even getting that with my sensation and it sucks.

Hey guys. I'm using my Sensation 4G in NYC. I'm noticing sporadic changes in speed..drastic changes. At some point the download will be a great 3.5 Mbps, and the next second, it will be 200Kbps. I'm standing in the same spot with the same server, and ping of 200 ms.
I'm running all stock ROM, kernel, and radio. Are we thinking it's hardware right now, or does noone actually?

I played around with my stock rom and got over 5mbps a couple of times over the course of half an hour, which is quite a bit more than I did with any other rom. Going back to p3d neon 2.0 now with leedroid 1.4 kernel to see if speeds are any different...
My speeds match what I had stock. They do fluctuate but that's normal and it's the network, not the phone. Currently on InsertCoin Sense Android 2.3.4 with stock radio. I did flash the matching RIL from the thread mentioned. I've done this for every ROM update and speeds have been fine.
The "recommended radios" are probably not good for TMOUS Sensations. Just stay with stock radio and matching RIL unless you have some serious issues. If all else fails, there are some TMOUS based ROMs that shouldn't mess with speeds at all.
Installed the default RIL and have the stock radio. Still 1 mbps. Also I'm running a rom made by a USA user.

Could be the network at the moment. If it's a TMOUS based ROM and you're using stock radio and RIL, there really is nothing else I can think of that can affect data speed. Try doing a speed test on someone else's phone side-by-side with yours (and I really mean like in the same room, speeds can vary widely in different areas). Or do a nandroid backup and revert back to the stock ROM to test the speed. Then you can switch back easily.
Hey everyone, I was wondering what kind of speeds I should be getting here.
On the mobile network I get most of the time less than 2mbps, around 1.5-1.75, I ONCE got above 3mbps. That's download, upload is a dismal 1.2-1.5 mbps.
I thought maybe it was just where I was, bad cell tower, etc., but check this. My home wifi is reasonably fast, I get 12-16 mbps down on the computer with ~3mbps up. On my phone, connected to wifi, gets 4.5mbps down and just under 2mbps up. This shouldn't happen, should it? On my old mytouch slide, in the same room I'm in right now, I got 3-4mbps consistently over the mobile network (not even HSPA+, just plain old HSPA), and at LEAST 7 or 8 mbps over wifi, on the same wifi network. I'm very confused here, why is my HTC Sensation, which is supposed to be the latest and greatest, getting such terrible speeds? Do I have hardware issues? It's the same dismal speeds on every ROM I've tried. Stock before rooted, stock after rooted, arhd, cm7, everything is horrible. Should I call t-mobile and ask for a replacement? I just can't figure out why I'm getting slower speeds on HSPA+ than I was on 3G HSPA. Yikes.
Make sure your radio and RIL are correct (search the RIL and Radio threads) ... if you've tried different ROMs you may have over-written something.
I consistently get 16-20 MBPS down 10-15 MBPS up speeds on my home wifi (Verizion FIOS 25/25 service).
Get Wifi Analyzer from the market (free) and make sure you are not sharing WIFI channels with your neighbors.

My baseband version in about phone reads 10.58.9035.00P_10.15.9035.02_2. I think the radio that they test CM7 with is 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01, so I suppose I COULD downgrade, but I was having the same issues even before I rooted. As for RIL's, I know what they are but I have never come across them. I don't know if they're built in or if I have to flash them or even where to find them.
I have noticed HORRIBLE wifi reception with this phone. I can never connect to the wifi at my school, and at home, I can hold the phone right next to the router and it will still be 3/4 bars of wifi. Right know I'm in the room right next to the router and it alternates between the little dot of the wifi icon and the 1st bar. My computer gets 5/5 bars. My cell reception has seemed to be normal though, haven't noticed any huge issues. In fact, it seems to hang onto 3G/HSPA better than my old phone did. My old phone constantly bumped down to edge in my house. Speeds suck on this phone though, and I can't figure out why.
I tried that app you suggested, didn't find any interference, but saw how stupidly low my signal strength was. Here's a SS, attached.

Check the antenna contacts on the back of the phone; try bending them up to engage the pads in the cover.
Failing that, return the phone for replacement.

I decided to do a test as I have been experiencing substantial drop in DL/UL speeds utilizing my personal favorite CM7.
Radios varied with CM7 reco through latest HTC radio. Stock & OC kernal. Observation.
Dozens of tests. 6+ DL 2.5 Mbps UL.
Wi-Fi- Avg expected speeds 31 Mbps DL 6.50 UL Mbps. ( Wifi signal was extremely erratic). No fix.
revert back to Sense 3.5 NRG rom with 169 RIl matching radio.
Stock kernal.
Dozens of tests. Avg 9.25 DL1.50 Mbp UL
Wi-fi- same as CM7 however signal is perfect.
FWIW- complete stock sense posed higher DL/UL. Odd but how much stock I put into this?
Benchmarks- with both Cm7 & sense OC kernals.
Both scored heavily using the most common benchmarks.
AnTuTu-6381
CF-7667
Quadrant-3810
Stock kernal- nothing to write home about.
Other then the data speed, in terms of user experience, difficult to say. Other than I was always plagued with accurate gps lock using CM7.
I'm all over the place regarding the breakdown but I don't have much patience right now.
Enjoy.
Typical WiFi performance for me at home (fastest is ~20 D 10 U). Router is at the other end of the house (blue on the graph). If you have strong signal, look at the software (radio + RIL), if signal is weak check antenna.

So I guess I'll try the recommended radio. How do you check which RIL you have? I don't think its the radio though, since I had the same bad speeds on stock s-on before rooting. I'll try checking the antenna connectors in the casings. If I do have to do a warranty exchange, will I have to get the phone back to s-on to be under warranty?

Regarding RIL check- Run getprop gsm.version.ril-impl in Terminal Emulator (Download from market if you don't have). Takes 2 seconds to get RIL which will show 169, 173, etc...
Regarding exchange- I'm assuming you will have to revert back to S-on but I could very well be wrong, however I know for peace of mind, I would do this to ensure a complete hassle free exchange.
Wish I could assist more.
ahahaha.
i live in italy. I paid 19 € so about 25 $ for a bad connection of 7 mega in download and 0,45 mega in upload, but the real speed is 4/0,3
for curiosity how much do you pay in United states???
return to your phone, probabily you can to flash other radi.img
I am on a shared plan, but I think for just me, 4G data is $20/month, which guarantees 4G speeds up to 2GB of usage, then it starts throttling. I did check my usage, I'm under 1GB.
Checked my RIL against the RIL thread that's stickied in the dev forum, I have 2.2.1073HMQ, which is matched to the 10.58 radio that I currently have. So it can't be an RIL issue.
I also tested the speed of the data connection through a wifi hotspot on my computer. I still only got about 2 mbps on the computer, maybe 2.5, don't remember exactly. Definitely under 3 though, which is unacceptable. I think I'm going to call t-mobile, because I'm supposed to be in a 4G coverage area. But on top of that, my wifi speeds suck as well, which tells me it's not just network coverage, it's something to do with the wireless chipset, something isn't working correctly. I think I should be able to except AT LEAST equivalent speeds to my old 3G slide.

Verizon FIOS @ $100/mo gets you 25/25 fiber to the house, phone, and a few hundred channels of hi def TV. Wireless router included gets up to 20 MBps to the phone.

So I called t-mobile, the first guy said he thought I knew what I was talking about and had tried everything that he had ideas for, so he sent me to tier 2 support, and that guy told me that it was probably something faulty in either the back of the phone (antenna) or the radio controller. He thought my wifi and cell speed issues were related. Since I got the phone at costco he suggested I try to do an exchange through them since I'd get a new device in exchange instead of a refurbished one. I'm going to end up going that route.
So here's my question now, once I get the new replacement phone, since it's the same phone, is it possible to take a nandroid of my current phone how it is and then restore it after I root and get s-off? Or would that not work since the phones would have different serials and IMEI's? It would be so much easier if I could just nandroid restore after I s-off, root, and get clockwork.
Bump?

There aren't that many people who would have done it.
So try it and report back!

Alright, I'll try it, no harm really, worst thing I can get is a bootloop I'll just make sure and back up my apps beforehand just in case it doesn't work. I'm going back on Friday to try and get a replacement, so I'll report back then.
alot of 3g networks i noticed cap at 1.75megs down and 1.50-1.75 up and since the sensation wont tell us if we have 3g or not and list 4g as anything above edge it's just kinda hit or miss when u actually do have 4G but from my house right now i'm getting 1.75 down and if i go to the others ide of town i get 9.xx down (rarely over 10 though sadly)

My phone reports 2g, 3g and 4g. I can see the difference in data rate between the three.
The phone idles in "3g" even when near a 4g tower for power savings.

Yeah, only sense roms don't differentiate between 3g and hspa. I've tried in different cell towers where I'm supposed to have full 4g, and I don't. I have maybe 2.5 mbps, most of the time 2 or below. I'm exchanging my phone Friday at Costco so hopefully the new one is different and I don't get one with the stupid ssharp screen. I like this Acer one better.
