So I have this g2x and besides a few other problems, the internet doesn't seem to be working. Trying to browse the internet feels like its using speeds of less than 2G, as it took like 10 minutes to load phonedog.com. When I connect to WiFi it works like a charm. Additionally, I flashed the Weapon g2x ROM/ CWM in an attempt to fix the problem; still, internet is super slow.
Do you guys have any ideas as to why this is happening or how to fix it? If you need anymore information to help me I'll be glad to provide it.
Have you gone over your monthly data cap? You could be throttled.

sounds like you are being throttled by t-mobile. Call CC and see what they have to say.

I mean WTF? I have almost full bars and 4g symbol but I can't get online or the market will say data connectivity is fuked. Or sometimes it's just insanely slow.
What gives?
I will try it a few times and it works perfect and it's like this everywhere in town.
You are not the only one.

Good to know
This blows, WTF. . . . My HD2 flies when this thing just croaks. It just hangs and waits for who knows what.
Welcome to 4G.... The G stands for Gullible.
Seems that when the 4G icon is displayed means that you have a 4G signal, however I don't think means you have a connection.
When I do get a 4G connection, life is great.
It appears to me that there are several bugs switching back and forth between wifi/4g/2g that is causing many issues.

This is horse crap. The connectivity rotts, I meat rotts. . . . .The best speed I got so far was 3,000bps. But my other phone is at a constants 28.
And the worst part is not the speed, it's just spotty. Sometimes I get like 700, this is not cool.
I have never had this issue.
I rarely ever lose 4g and I constantly have fantastic speedy connections.
I have never had a phone hold a connection as well as this phone.
(iPhone, BB, Nexus One, HTC HD7, etc..)

Word, I never lose the 4G symbol. Yet, there is no connectivity.
Did any of you guys happen to skip the initial setup for your phones? That has been found to cause a lot of problems relating to signal and connectivity. Try factory resetting and NOT skipping the initial setup if you skipped it before.
Edit: My phone is running great now, but once I did skip the initial setup and it was being really wonky.
Initial settup:/
I strongly doubt it. . . Just what I think.
Make sure T-Mobile is using the right internet for 2days they had blackberry web I noticed that while looking into the myaccount app

I had an issue as well.
T-mobile had set up my device wrong, they put me under a "unlimited text / talk" plan with a "mobile wifi data only" option, ie: zero data on 3g/4g.
After a 15min phone call to support it was corrected but as some people know already, the promotion I'm under (and what is being advertised), which is the $79.99 unlimited text/data/talk plan, the data limit is 2 gigs a month.
Its 2011 ffs. 2 gig's is stupid low.
I was using my G2X with no issues until today. everything that uses data connection is slow and times out. when i connect to a wireless connection it is blazing fast. I don't think i skipped the initial set up i don't see why i would but i am going to reset and do it again and see if it helps, Battery life is also terrible i have not been using my phone for much today and its is already at 20% and i unplugged it at 9am , my HD2 at this point is looking good.
So strange, today the connectivity is real good(2k down) I also have SPB 3D installed and the battery is awesome so far. 6 hours and I am @ 69% with a lot of use.
I'm having this same problem and I'm pissed. Calling tmobile is a pain in the ass nowadays and I'm about to tell them to shove this phone up their ass!!!!
My question is this: Will a new ROM(when it comes out) fix this BS?
I'm trying to solve this problem on my girlfriend's phone:
The data speeds are absolutely terrible, I'm talking 100-500 kbps download speed max.
Basically, I've tried CM7 7.0.2 to no avail, tried the speeds fix posted to modify the build.prop, flashed the newest radio and matching RIL..no improved speeds and frequent data drops.
Gave up on CM7 and tried a Sense ROM, Ace Inspired 1.0.1...same problem without the data drops.
It's connected to an HSPA network so I still can't understand why we're seeing data speeds this poor. She came from a non-smartphone data plan before purchasing the HTC Inspire so I'm wondering if AT&T didn't properly set up her upgrade. According to her plan, she's on the 4G data plan. I'm starting to think this is not a user side issue anymore. We're in the Philadelphia suburbs, gonna have to call up AT&T to see if they can fix anything. If anyone can provide any information regarding the problems I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks.
Is there 4g in your area?

Yes, there is 4G in my area.
What radio are you using?

If I wasn't clear, I meant the OTA radio.
Check the APN settings. There's a thread here about the right settings for 4G speeds.
+1 it's the APN settings. That issue flustered me for a week until the idea that something is wrong with the way the device handles cellular data caught traction and that APN thread popped up.
I'm having horrible speed in a brick house

Thanks guys. I'll check it tonight too. Speeds were awful even when it was stock and unrooted though.

Same here. The APN settings were wrong by default.
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.
So I have been using the native tether unlock app by mike, and it works great. I have been tethering for awhile with zero issues. Now, when I tether, my speeds are literally 90 kbps when on my phone they are 1.5 kbps. Anyone have any ideas what could be doing this? I don't recall changing or deleting anything. I'm kinda lost. Other than reflashing MOAR ROM, I don't even know if that would fix it, but I don't know anything else to try. I even tried using my VPN and its the same speed. So I don't think it is sprint throttling me. I think it might be the phone.
My phone cnnection has been going really slow when on wifi. My router has really good speeds almost up to 100mbps. On my mac it goes super fast but not on my phone. I did a speed test on the app and got like 70mbps but it still goes slow when i switch to 4g it runs fine and fast Can anybody help me or know the issue

70mbs is not slow. I don't really understand what the issue is here. Your phone is slow or your internet is?
