Might be getting a Sensation - Q on speeds

Ive been in the 3D forums since launch and I love the 3D but I cant handle Sprints 100k speeds and no answers from them - So I am likely moving to T-Mobile and the Sensation....
Can anyone tell me what speeds they get once you hit your "4G Limit"?
Is it useable at all after you hit your 2,5, or 10GB?
Thanks!

you're stuck at 2g after you hit your limit

Yeah, Ive read varying reports of that speed - around 200k??? Right now, Im lucky to even hit that on my Sprint Connection.

Yeah, around that. The max you'll get is about 300-400 Kbps. If you live in an area with good HSPA connectivity, you should get speeds from 5-7 Mbps down easily in you are within your cap.
This is my best result during peak hours.

Well I've heard some stories of being able to block the data throttling. That only works with perm root though... Not to mention it also only works on certain devices. Sensation could or could not be one of them. But speeds are as mentions above.

Thanks for the replies - I think we are going to swap tomorrow. Sounds like Edge would allow me to stream radio at the least - I checked my old AT&T account and it was rare that I went over 5, I was usually around 4.8GB
I do love the HTC 3D but with the seed Im getting, its like having a lamborghini and going up and down the driveway....
I did test the speed at 2 t-mobile stores in the area and low DL's were around 3000k and high around 5000k .... Im happy with 1500, so this is great

Data connection, please help??

My phone keeps randomly losing data connection. Basically the upload arrow will get suck on...and the download arrow will stay off. The only way to fix it is a reboot or switch on airplane mode and back off. But that only lasts for a short time. I've tried everything I can think of. Format SD card, full wipes and flashes of a few different custom roms and radios.
This happened to me once before, so I flashed the Rooted stock RUU that attn1 made awhile back, then went back to custom roms and it fixed everything. But this time, it didn't work.
Here is a screen shot of what I'm talking about, notice the H symbol and the arrows below it.

Does your ril match your radio? I had this happen once because ril didn't match my radio and make sure the battery door and sim card door are making good connections.

Yeah I've tried 3 different radio's and always matching RIL's on Virtous Unity 1.31, ClearDroid, StarDroid...Rum Runner.
Checked the connections on battery door and the connections on Sim/SD door.
Even gone so far as to format SD Card....Flash a Rooted RUU stock rom through Hboot....then full wipe and flash virtuous... Still having problems
One minute data is working fine, everything is good...then the next...no more data and I cant make phone calls...even though I'm showing full service.
Aside from unrooting and starting all over, I'm out of ideas. Anyone know if I have to use one of those tools to unroot...or can I just flash the newest GB unrooted RUU?

speedtest.net app fixed

when i first got my AT&T htc one x, the speedtest.net app would crash every time during the upload test,
but after using the RUU to the 1.82 and then rooting, and then debloat/debranding the device, it appears the speedtest.net is now working during the upload test and shows the resulting speed in the end...
not sure what part of that process fixed it, probably the debranding, or maybe the app was updated im not sure.. just letting people know what i've found

it always worked for me but good info for the people that do have problems with it

I'm still totally stock, and the Speedtest app works just fine. 32 Mbps up and 21 Mbps down, daaaamnnnn!

Always had worked for me. Getting still my epic blazing 4g LTE speeds 58.45 Mbps down and 25.93 Mbps up. This is 2.5X faster then my home connection.

thanks for that update because i have the exact same problem with the speedtest app. I will try these things because I was about to return it for Galaxy Note.

Yesterday I hit ~53 down. I honestly almost crapped my pants. I have 15down/1up at home. Also, if you go to results, you can email the result which also provides a link to a much smaller image of the test.

...my rogers 4g wireless only hit 4M DOWNLOAD AND 1M UPLOAD, WHY WHY WHY!!!

Because that's actually HSPA+, not true 4G LTE.

You were going to return your phone because the speedtest app crashed????

[Q] Most recent radio? [SOLVED]

Haven't had this phone very long so I know nothing about the radios. Not sure how much of this matters but I'm on i9020t, currently at&t but soon tmobile, east coast/appalachian area, running JellyB-tsm (4.2.1). Thing is, I went and flashed one of the five I downloaded and it worked so I moved on, now I'm getting bad calls and wifi problems.
Different but related problem, see post 3...

Re: [Q] Most recent radio?
Just flashed the latest radio on the sprint model. It increased my call quality and wifi issues I was having.
Read through the radio thread I know some of them help in some areas but make other signals worse.

Alright so here's my recent issue. Just switched from at&t sim to tmobile sim. I entered the apn settings straight talk says I should and I'm getting excruciatingly slow data. I stumbled across a few different settings for tmobile apn and none of them even gave me a connection. I'm about to start flashing radio after radio to see if anything works but if someone knows something else that might fix it (ie working apn settings) let me know.
Sorry this is so big but upload isn't working here.

This is where I got them but it doesn't really say much about them.

9020a and 9020t have different radio hardware
they are not interchangeable
...so i would ASSume neither are the sim cards
fwiw

Please check IMEI label under the battery for your actual phone model.
An i9020a won't work on 3G 1700 band, you are getting 2G GPRS data speed (the little G on signal icon)

Apparently I'm just not in tmobile's 3g network, didn't even occur to me considering every other major provider works great here. I also didn't realize that just the G symbol was 2g or it probably would have clicked. So anyone wanna trade a 20t for 20a?
And both sims worked, but with the at&t card I only had an edge connection.

IF your 3G internet download is ridicolously slow..

Thought I put this here, in case someone has the same issue.
Just got my Orange UK S4. Orange also run a 4G network called EE, and my phone is EVR ie EE network coded.
My contract is NOT on the 4G network, since I didnt need it.
My first attempt at using the internet connection (away from wifi) was a download of a 1.5meg PDF attachment in the email app, and it was ridiculous slow, like it took 5 mins
Also the browser was not responding or downloading data at all.
So had a brain wave and went into network settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode/ and changed from 2g/3g/4g, to "2g/3g"
and this solved the issue perfectly.
I think the problem is that in the 4G mode, the phone keeps trying repeatedly (like for every packet) to connect in 4g, and gets rejected by the network, so downshifts to 3g or HDSPA for downloading one packet, and repeats the whole merry cycle...
Hope this might some confusion for others in the future.:laugh:

More likely that the phone was camped onto an Orange 3G bts initially. By swapping network type selection you forced it to pick up a tmobile site....remembering that tmobile and orange share each others networks now under the banner of EE.
A lot of orange sites were never that fast anyway, even worse now the join with tmobile. They are relying a lot more on the tmobile 3G sites.

On T-Mobile here and switching LTE off makes absolutely no difference to my speeds :/ Ran a test with LTE on and off and I get 10Mb on and off.

OP here!
The first download was crazy slow, 1000 times slower than when I was on the pure Orange network, but it seems fixed now, and on my new rom flashed yesterday, it seems ok.
Completely agree about the orange/EE service at present. It has become terrible, I think they are shoving all subscribers onto one network, and its becoming harder to make a call without it dropping etc... And this is in West London!
