Hey guys,
What speeds do you get on your fuze?
I check on http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed
and it shows that i'm getting about 663 kbps
I did this test next to my coworker with an iPhone 3G and that darn thing returned double (1200 kbps) of what i got
are all of you getting about 600 or 1200(1.2mbps)?
is he doing the iphone test or the reg m test? i get a higher speed when i dl a bigger file. 1MB i got 928 with my fuze and i did the reg m test not the iphone test
I got 1660 on my fuze.
I'd just like to know who at at&t turned off the [H] speeds in the southwest Missouri area. Never had any problems with HSDPA (or whatever it is called).
On the fuze, every hack I've tried and it still refuses to pop up....just 3G.
Any ideas?
the iphone test was on testmyiphone.com
and i did the 1mb test on dslreports and got 663 ... is there anything on the fuze that would restrict the hsdpa speed?
... as for getting the H icon, just use schaps advanced config tool
First of all, the ROM on ATT's Fuze just has the 'H' icon disabled. There is a reg hack to enable it, try searching around.
That being said, I'm having major issues with the 3G speed on my Fuze.
I have a BlackJack II as well, and I can literally pop my SIM out, put it in that, and get normal decent 3G speeds. Go back to my Fuze, and it's so slow that pages often don't even load at all, and time out. I am testing with all the same websites. Even updating the weather in the TF3d panel often times out and when it does work it takes like 10 seconds per city.
Doesn't matter if I'm in Opera or IE, it's just slow as hell on the Fuze. Go back to the BlackJack, and again it's fine.
I am taking it back today, I'll try a replacement, but I am not willing to try a ROM flash because I'm afraid they won't take it back.
I'm getting 254 kbs... blazing.
814 kbps. Not bad, on HSDPA
speed issues
I am not sure if this has anything to do with it but I was looking at the connection settings that defaulted in my Fuze and the apn is ims.cingular
I am familiar with wap.cingular and I know isp.cingular ut I have never heard of ims.cingular. Would this even have any impact on this?
im getting 2600Kbps down 700Kbps up on full bars HSDPA
Im in NYC and when I dont have an active data connection it will show 2-3 bars 3G but as soon as I try and connect It'll revert to E. Is this happening to anyone else?
you know what... i'm not even using the default Fuze modem connection (the one called "MEdia Net" that has wap.cingular, username and password).
My boss and I created a new GPRS/3G modem connection without any settings on our Fuzes.... and its working for us. So i don't think that has anything to do with it. I think all it does is let AT&T know that you're authenticating onto their servers the the default username and password.
Go ahead and give it a shot, create a new GPRS/3G modem connection and name it whatever you want. Go through the steps and leave everything blank. The 3G/HSPDA will work fine, at least for us....
On my Fuze, forced to do the 1MB test, with 3G, I got:
1345 kbit/sec
0.32s latency
6.363s d/l time.again.
My FUZE with Romeos ROM is reaching HSDPA at pretty damn low speeds on AT&T 3G...
Avg between 300-700 on dslreports.com/mspeed. Usually somewhere around 500kbps.
If I swap out my SIM and put it into my X1i, I get between 800-1300kbps in the same location a minute later!
Absurd. Really, really absurd. Something is wrong here. Either the radio, or some software setting, or, even perhaps a hardware limitation is causing the FUZE to get much slower speeds than other HTC made phones...
I also have an I-Mate 9502 which gets the same range of speeds my X1i gets. Tested my buddys Tilt, and he was getting between 750-1000kbps...
Any ideas? Anyone have similar issues in the U.S.?
Thanks for confirming my suspicions that the G3/H on this phone is the same.
As for the Fuze, like my other HTC phones, I have trouble getting bars while other peeps with other phones on ATT get full bars. I wonder if it's the antenna? I wonder if HTC does a bad job with them?
Yesterday I had to revert to a 2 year old SonyEricsson K800 just to keep myself from dropping calls.
I'm beginning to think that it's the antenna, and not just some funky AT&T control. I used to regedit tweaks to enable HSDPA and its icon and the best result I've ever returned was around 660kb/s down. Also of note is that it didn't matter how many bars I had; one test with 1 bar returned a down speed 200kb/s faster than a test I did with four bars.
I really want to like this phone but it's getting too wonky for me.
Well, I went and exchanged my Fuze today for another one. I must admit it seems to be working a lot better. At first it wasn't, but after using it a while it is now reasonable. For now anyway. It's still not as fast as my BlackJack II, but it is at least working, which is more than I can say for the one I returned.
Earlier, I was trying to get a speed report on dslreports.com/mspeed, and it kept saying that it was invalid test on the 1MB because it was too quick (1.4 seconds), ironically.
I'm still not sure I trust this phone. I might try RomeOS now that I know I can flash back to stock ROM if I need to return.
Maybe the Epix will be OK for now until the X1 is out.
I'm going to do some dslreports testing and compare to the BlackJack II from the same spot, will post up.
Test Results
Well, here's the results of the testing. Unbelievable. This is with a "3G" connection. Granted it's in my apt, but my other phones work in here. I did a bunch of tests with each phone, my Fuze and a Blackjack II. These were all done within a few minutes of each other from the exact same location (my couch, LOL) using the same SIM. I'll try more tests tomorrow from a better location, maybe I'll go to Fullerton as another member here posted he got awesome HSDPA speeds there.
I did these from http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed and most did not work on 100k, they gave the error "unstable or too fast results" so I'd go up to 200k or 1MB.
First the Fuze (in succession):
100k:
74 kbit/sec
0.647s latency
11.41s d/l time
100k:
too fast- 1.99s
200k:
188 kbit/sec
0.703s latency
9.188s d/l time
100k:
48 kbit/sec
4.23s latency
17.215s d/l time
100k:
57 kbit/sec
0.762s latency
14.777s d/l time
100k:
72 kbit/sec
0.707s latency
11.804s d/l time
Then the Blackjack II (in succession):
100k:
too fast - 0.41s
200k:
too fast - 0.567s
1MB:
761 kbit/sec
0.103s latency
10.681s d/l time
1MB:
too fast - 1.484s
1MB:
411 kbit/sec
0.161s latency
19.977s d/l time
1MB:
unstable / too fast result
1MB:
unstable / too fast result
100k:
unstable / too fast a result
1MB:
unstable / too fast a result
So you can see that the Fuze is abysmal. For some reason I kept getting that weird error result. On the BJ it just stopped working after a while, but I was still able to browse to pages just fine. In fact on the Fuze, I can't even load Gmail usually at all, so I went to it on the BJ after these tests and it came up and loaded instantly.
I am not pleased. I think we should also post our ROM versions. Someone else thought maybe ATT imposed a limit of some kind (I can't see how they could limit it this bad, from a business point, but I wouldn't put it past them). Maybe the people with just fine connections have older ROMs, pre-limited. Just a thought.
Here's my info:
ROM: 1.95.502.5 WWE (10/20/2008)
Radio: 1.02.25.32
Protocol: 52.39c.25.22H
SPL: 1.95.00.00
I really really want to like this phone and make it work. But even though this replacement is better than the first one, it's still not usable as you can tell. It does happen to have all the same ROM versions as the prior one.
Please post up similar info guys, speed test results, and your phone ROM versions, etc. To find that info, you can look in the bottom right when you first boot up the phone, and also go into Start->Settings->Phone(?), somewhere in there you'll find it.
If anything, we will document this enough to force ATT to fix it.
I'm running NATF's rom and getting decent speeds here from my house, 1400, but I have noticed that I have less connection bars that my Tilt. I've always had 4 bars here at home on the tilt, but the Fuze will drop to 3 and 2 bars sometimes. I'm not getting anywhere near the reception with the Fuze as opposed to my Tilt, so I'm thinking it's got to be an antennae problem.
I'm getting approximately the same displayed bars from my house as I was getting on my 8525; however, the Fuze seems to be performing better with that displayed signal strength. That is, I frequently got drop-outs in certain parts of the house with the 8525; with the Fuze, I don't believe I have heard a drop-out in the five days I've had it.
I did a couple of speedtest runs this morning sitting in my car waiting for someone; one was 1260 kbps, the other 1450. I certainly can't complain about the speed.
Hey guys. Over the past 2 weeks or so, I've noticed a dramatic drop in LTE speeds with my phone. Also, it now quite frequently completely drops 4G or a data connection all together. I've been running the 802 radios on SHIFTSENSE 1.5X and used to consistantly hit 5-7Mbits, now I struggle to break 0.75Mbit. Thinking this could be a sudden strange ROM or radio bug, I upgraded to the new 906 radios and tried Liquid 3.0. No difference.
Any tips or suggestions? Is my radio burnt out and in need of replacement? Anyone else in Philadelphia area PA experiencing the same?
Thanks!

i know if you use a lot of bandwidth(and are on the unlimited data) that Verizon at some point will slow down your connection for a bit. last month i used nearly 30GB and the last week of my billing cycle i noticied that my speed had also dropped considerably. coincidentally, at that time i decided to try out a new rom(switched from Synergy over to shiftao5p) and upon doing so my bandwidth went back to normal.
perhaps switching roms gets around Verizon's throttling ? in either case, i'm sure that if you did use a ridiculous amount of bandwidth one month and they did throttle you, they'd most likely set it back to normal on the new billing cycle.
If I said I used 2GB last month that would be an extreme exaggeration. I doubt I even used 1GB. I don't think I got throttled

did your area recently receive 4G?... they could still be working out the kinks here & there. additionally, it's possible there could have been a 4G outage or they may just be doing maintenance in your area.
have you called Verizon and asked?... a lot of times though if they are doing work on the towers in your area the Verizon reps won't have the info on the hand in regards to it. generally though, if you are in a 4G area and 4G is down(or considerably slow) for more then just a few days there could be a problem with the phone itself.
considering that it's been working for you though i doubt it's a software issue unless you've recently switched radios.
i have heard of people having reception issues though do to the antenna piece on the back panel of the phone(the panel you remove to take out the battery, sim card, sd card). try taking it to a local Verizon store and let them know your concern. they'll replace the panel for you for free and it may be the culprit.
Hey guys, so I have had my m8 ever since it came out in March and have LOVED it. Issue I'm having is as the title said, my WiFi is SLOW!! On all WiFi networks I've been on. Specifically my home network, as it's usually what I'm using. As compared to my lte connection and other phones connections anyways. It's always been kinda slow with WiFi, never knew why.. my normal speeds is around 3-15 mbps. Once in a blue moon i will see 25 download speed randomly. I think it's been getting progressively worse as it used to be bearable. But every now and then it's just horrible! I will attach a screen shot I just took with it connected to my home WiFi (50mbps Comcast). About 30 feet away from router (Linksys WRT1900AC). Less than a mbps down and up speeds. Ping ranging from 30 to 200 sometimes. Standing exactly where I was when I tested that, a s5 active got 39 and 12 and a iPhone 6 got 47 and 9 pings both below 40. And when close to the router, both of those phones get all the WiFi! Between 50-60 mbps... With 4g like 30 seconds after that test I got 54 mbps download speed.
Anyone had issues like this before? any fixes you've heard of? Thanks for reading guys
Btw. Phone is completely stock. Never attempted to root it or anything.
What Firmware, radio and rom are you on? Are you s-off?
Phone is completely stock sir. Running Verizon 4.4.4. No s off or roms installed
Same Issue!
I'm having the exact same issue. WiFi is dreadfully slow on all networks. Tried factory reset, and upgrade to Lollipop and still have the issue. I used to love this phone but now I'm about ready to throw it against the wall because of this issue. Example, this page took 4 minutes to load completely.
HTC One M8 from Verizon running 5.0.1.

Install dnset from the play store and activate it. Then try surfing. Report back if it helps.
I can't tell if it's just T-Mobile having issues or if it's this G5.. but for the past few weeks things have gotten gradually slower and slower.
The phone will claim it has a full 4G signal but not one single thing will load, all the apps say there's no data, but the 4G signal is "full". Sound like a phone or T-Mob issue? I used to have blazing fast signal around here with my G4.
The phone in general is feeling very sluggish, but not a lot of apps are even installed - and I know no viruses are lol.
Has anyone else been having issues with their G5? I've very careful with mine and have never banged it around or dropped it.
The same issue with lg-g5 t-mobile
Recently after the latestes updates from T-Mobile, my mobile started to be slow and sluggish. I don't have lot of apps nor running any malware in my mobile. I strongly believe it is due to the recent updates .
Yeah this thing barely works now. It says I have a full signal, but every app says no network. Ughhh
Hi there!
I updated my Pixel 3 to june's update on release date.
I find that my phone's internet speed is slower and the network strengh is smaller than it was before, I've never lost my connection at the grocerie's store but I lose it now.
Anyone else experiencing this ?

I can't speak for it outside (LTE on T-Mobile), but my wife's P3 is definitely slower on our home Wi-Fi. Consistent drop from over 100/sec to 50-60/sec. I think they jacked the new radio. She hasn't complained about it when not at home, so I will probably wait until next month's update instead of flashing the old radio.
For the past 2 days my Wifi has been really bad... I thought its from water damage(it got slightly wet), but when I boot it in Safemode everything is fine(I get 50mbps out of 55 at home). But when in regular use I get 20Mbps now(after restart, still not ideal), but before that I got only 5Mbps for the past days. I figured it might be from the update... So I guess its not our fault and we have to wait for a fix
Just did mine did not notice a slowdown using 5g band on the router
hello, latest camera app update on my pixel 3 didn't working night sights and astrophotography, very very worth quality, please any help.
