Well, give some details... I just switched over to Straight talk and I have had no problem.
Did you just barely switch to straight talk?
What have you done to fix it?
Do you have the right settings?
Do you have the 4G icon up to?
Share some deets and maybe someone might have an answer for ya.
4G doesnt always mean 4G on the skyrocket. It can as easily actually mean 3G. But still should be better than .15. Thats 2G speed.
This is a question and should be posted in Q&A. On a side note please provide more information when asking something and keep in mind network speeds are specific by modem/region/provider(if it applies) so I doubt (based on on the little info) you will get a helpful answer.
Cheers
Well my max speed is o.15mbps in Seattle area i haven't reach anything higher than 0.15 and im also on sky ics 42f ucle2 modem . Now it connected to 3g than h symbol but still slow speeds. My iphone 4s gets 8 to 13 mbps on straight talk.

How much data are you going through? Straight talk is starting to throttle. Some people speculate that the speeds are slowing down to a lot of traffic also.

just switch sims withyour 4s. If your skyrocket gets good speeds with the other sim then your throttled.

Ok before you go off and sell it try a few things. First make sure your preferred network mode is set to GSM/HSPA and not Auto, i had some issues with data on auto.
next double check your APN Settings
they should look like this:
If you notice i do have PAP authentication turned on, it seems to help with me reciving MMS's in my area, and it only affects ICS roms, gingerbread i have to leave it off. My fiancee's captivate i had to turn it on to get the MMS to work as well.

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'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.

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.

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.

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.

Me too.
Yes, but I broke my screen and have been too poor to fix it to resell. LoL
I have had the same experience so far.
I've not had any dropped calls on any roms I've tried. Currently on Tsugi and even wifi calling is working.
My signal everywhere but home is at least 3/4 bars and I always have 4g speeds >3mbps down.
I live in central Florida, Polk County.
The G2X just seems to be a little bit less robust in low signal situations.... so you will only have a problem in marginal areas usually...
Now I just discovered something odd with mine... If I set to WCDMA only, and force 4G signal, I don't seem to lose signal at all in my apartment. When I had it on WCDMA preferred, it would constantly switch between 4G and 2G modes, and I'd lose signal frequently, even if I was on a call... so it seems to me the problem may actually be in the switching between GSM and WCDMA.... Or just with GSM... need to do further experimentation.
I live in the middle of Orlando, so I really don't think that's considered a marginal area for a signal. Tmo said there was a tower not that far from my house too. I'll have to try the forcing it to 4g next time I am out and about and see how that works... Thanks for the suggestion lotherius.
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
