I just got my Sensation 4g from Walmart. It is on HSPA+ on T-Mobile and when trying to open a web site or sync Facebook or use any kind of data for that matter it is slow to connect if it even connects at all. I then have to hit refresh a few times before it actually kicks in. Is anyone having any similar issues? I had a myTouch4g previously and never experienced this.

Yep mine too. Somtimes its super fast. Sometimes super slow
Had the same exact issue. All good now. Even WiFi was capped at 1.5 download for some reason.

i noticed that also with mines.. even when it dies get a bit fast it is still just a tad faster than what my nexus s was. I live in Orlando, one of tmo's supposid biggest 4g markets
I've also noticed the same thing.
Same thing here. Did a speed test and it says I am only getting 573 kbps download and 217 kbps upload
I had dial-up that's faster than that lol
EDIT: Tried running the test again, and I keep getting a network connection error, and it won't even run the test. but I got 4 bars. Wtf?
Its not that my speeds are that slow its like it takes forever to start going. Its annoying because the first time it never works right away. Has anyone been able to find a fix? It reminds me of my Nexus. If this continues I definititly cant keep this phone. A radio update might be the only fix

I'm thinking HTC could fix a lot of their issues with an update. Include a radio update, a software update for the touchscreen problems, and unlock the bootloader, all in one package hopefully
We soups should report this on their fb page

Experiencing the same thing; this morning on the way in had 4 bars of 4g and it wouldn't connect to anything. Reboot fixed it; then it happened again. Very tempted to return and wait it out for a little bit.
Also been getting "error 502's" all over the place...egh
Try this.
Speed up the latency on your Sensation

Thanks digi, I was just about to post this. Its working great for me!

Samsung introduced a new feature on the SGS2 called "Fast Dormancy." It's a battery saving feature that disconnects data when not active. It might be a feature in 2.3 and HTC might have enabled it too. Maybe you guys can find the toggle.

This is exactly what's happening with me. I think it mgiht be a coverage thing, I checked the coverage map and it shows as Moderate at best in my little area

There are a couple of reasons I don't believe it's a coverage issue. Mainly, I'm within 200 yds of a tower. When data is working, it's really strong. If the signal were weak, I can't imagine getting 9 Mbps download speeds. The speeds would be consistently poor rather than excellent one minute and not working at all the next. Also, nobody else in the area with a TMO 4G phone is having this issue.
Can't get Mobile Hotspot to run > 5-10 minutes tops, whether I run the stock config from VZN with Mobile Hotspot enabled (incl packet data and roaming enabled) or if I run the aftermarket apps / ROMs listed below. 4G LTE in Portland with 5 bars and 20 Mbps down / 6 up on Speedtest.net app on phone. Similar speed when connected on Hotspot to Laptop. Current system info today (after doing the info listed below last night) is:
Firmware version 2.3.4
Baseband version
i510.06 V.EE4
SCH-1510.EE1
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-EP1Q-CL397514
Build number
SCH-I510.EP1Q
Calls to VZN tech several times about the Hotspot dropping signal; no luck. Sent me replacement phone, which (big surprise) did same thing. Level 2 tech said my next step was to "umm, you didn't hear this from me, but check xda developers and a process called rooting." Confidence inspiring as that was, let's just say I was willing to give it one last shot since I love the phone's screen, size, batt life. Shutting off WPA2 helped extend the time a bit, sometimes to 12 minutes, but that's as good as it got. After drop (laptop shows Wireless Connection Unavailable when searching),
Tried tethering apps (PDAnet, EasyTether) too while still stock. Same issue, but at least it lasted longer. Combined with aforementioned longer time btwn dropping when WPA2 is disabled, I'm thinking it's a software issue at this point.
Tried rooting, with CWM, PBJ kernel & Froyo EE4 debloated. First root experience for me; super careful. Great instructions, no problem going through the process. When I pulled down OpenGarden and Barnacle, they said they didn't have root access though.
Fine, let's step a little further away from stock. Flashed up the GummyCharged 1.9 EE4 Froyo. Nice interface, this time OpenGarden and Barnacle work HOWEVER (here's where maybe someone can tell me how to fix)
Both OG and Barnacle show up only as ad hoc, not full WLAN icons on my laptops (Win7 Latitude, and Win 7 XPS Studio 13), and it cannot connect to the internet with them. Are there settings I need to tweak to get either app to work?
I then tried the $4.99 WiFi Hotspot app. That one looks very much like the stock VZN Mobile Hotspot app, and showed up as a regular WLAN like VZN's Mobile Hotspot does. Worked about 20 minutes, then dropped.
OK, another step down the rabbit hole with Gingerbread this time. GummyCharged GBE 1.9RC2 Beautiful interface. $4.99 WiFi Hotspot no workie at all. Tried OpenGarden and Barnacle as well - still get that stupid ad hoc network thing.
Someone please let me know where I'm missing a step on any of these apps. I love the phone, big fan of GummyCharged Gingerbread look/feel, but frustrated beyond belief that I can't get simple mobile hotspot (or even tethering, which I enjoyed 2 yrs of blissfully slow 3G on my old iPhone 3GS before it was stolen from my truck / forcing me to re-evaluate my carrier & hardware options at that time).
Thanks again - ideas welcomed. Really want to try to make this work on this phone instead of turning it in for a T-Bolt (which VZN tier 2 tech suggested if rooting didn't resolve).
Welcome ANY ideas here. While I love the GB GC setup / speed / batt life, I'm open to going back to Froyo GC if you think that would help. VZN's also willing to let me turn in my Charge for a T-Bolt which they say has fewer tether/hotspot issues (albeit bad batt life).
Flashed a new radio yesterday - still drops Web after 2-10 min. Drops ping too, just f-ing useless as a hotspot or tether. New config is
Firmware version 2.3.4
Baseband version
i510.06 V.EP1
Unknown
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-EP1Q-CL397514
Build number
SCH-I510.EP1Q
Very, very disheartened. Dig everything else about the Charge, but I need tethering or hotspot as part of my job.
Bueller? Bueller? Buellllllller?
OK, for those of you who are suffering the same issues, here's a stopgap fix, hopefully VZN or some stud developer here will drop a wireless hotspot / tether solution that works on this phone. Maybe the issue is that VZN's Portland LTE is a POS implementation that bumps everyone off after 10 min of tethering. I bought the darn service to stay stock and would have used it - IF it worked.
PDANet seems to be the only real working solution if you want to stay tethered more than 10 minutes. You'll want to do the first level of Tether Hiding for more stability. And no proxies, using Chrome browser. That stayed running for 45 minutes. Woo. hoo. Still though, it's better than nothing. Once browser stalls at 45 min, you simply turn off PDANnet on the phone, go into airplane mode, turn airplane mode off, bring up 4G again, then turn on PDANet again.
Download speed was 6Mbps and upload around 1-2 Mbps, so it's kind of an improvement over the iPhone I came from (1 down, .5 up, but would tether or hotspot for days without a drop).
This is using the GB GummyCharge setup mentioned in the original post, with the modem flash mentioned in post 2.
After rooting and trying GB GC, I really didn't want to go back to stock. I haven't even done the lagfix - still using the stock file system. Phone is more stable than stock, faster responsiveness, much faster boot, far superior interface, phenomenal improvement in battery life. I used to drop to 20% battery if I got up at 5 AM and didn't get a charge by 10 PM, minimal 4G usage or navigation, just a few phone calls. Now with GB GC, it's 40% at bedtime.
That said, if anyone finds a cure for this crappy tether/hotspot solution which seems to be with VZN in Portland area on Droid Charge, please follow up with a post here or somewhere in the forum.
its not just your area man i am a truck driver and have had this problem in multiple places both 4g and 3g.

Hi, just got the 7+ for and early Christmas present and love it... except for one issue.
Downloads take far, far too long, and I while I've checked everything I know to check, I'm hoping someone here might know something else to do.
I can log into the market and Amazon, but a simple 3.5mb download will take upwards of 10-15 minutes to download. I have wireless n, and my rooted (from last year) Nook Color will download the same file on the same wireless network in seconds.
I did do the firmware update (literally 4+ hours! to download-I didn't know about Kies yet) and it seemed to increase the wifi speed somewhat, but not enough.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated!
My WiFi speed is 16Mbps down/4Mbps up with speedtest app. So might be the problem of your network connection to Amazon, not the problem of device.
I get spotty wifi at work. Doesn't seem to like our access points, but at home it's perfect.

I still think it might be my 7+ I downloaded speed test, and did the test on my 7+, my Nook Color with an old rom, and a Nook Color I'm rooting for an Xmas present with a newer rom.

Old Nook: 9.876/download 2.832/upload
New Nook: 12.002/download 2.781/upload
This is all on the same exact network, at the same distance.

Try restart the router?
Changing channels on the router may help too. Wifi analyzer may help you out.

Opened my Tab 7+ Saturday night. After setup, it wanted to download updates for 5 different apps and software update (147mb). Was painfully slow. Left it downloading and went to bed. In the morning, it was finished with them all.
Re-booted and tried again. Market was terrible. Finally got the Speedtest.net. Ran the test and got 3547 kbps upload and 24 kbps download. Downloaded the same app on my droid x and gt 3647 kbps upload and 9734 kbps download.
Have a Linksys WRT300N V1.1. Rebooted it. No change.
Did a factory reset on the Tab. No change.
Called Samsung and was told this issue was being sent up to level 2 and someone will call me back. I asked when and was told 3 to 5 business days!?!?
Back to Fry's. They were awesome. Took it back and gave me a full refund.
The WRT300N might have had a firmware update since you purchased it, which would lead to issues with download speeds. I have a 160N where my Tab ran slow on WiFi but fast on other devices, once I updated the firmware everything worked well. The issue isn't always the device.

The guy at Fry's had the same problem on their wifi connection. Got to believe it is not my wifi. FWIW I updated the firmware beginning of the year.
My wifi is great in the room with the router. In the next room....not so much. Changing channels on the router did help some though.

Sure. 5 laptops (3 different brands) and 2 Droid phones (Droid X and Droid Incredible) having no problem. Must be the router. As I am going to pick-up a new 7 Plus tonight, I will ask which router they are using. Any bets?

And how old are the laptops? The Droid X and Incredible have a good year on them, meaning the WiFi Chip in them is most likely at least 1.5 years old. You forget that each WiFi device uses a different chip that IS older.
An example for you, I run an IT department, my boss just got a new iMac 21.5 inch. With this new computer, he is randomly losing all internet connection. My thought was that clearly there was a bad network adapter, so we took the computer back, and got a new one, same issue, clearly ruling out the network adapter. Then I looked for software problems, VMware fusion seemed to be the culprit, we didn't lose network connectivity with it not started. So we switched him to Parallels. Parallels resolved the issue temporarily. It came back.
Finally I plugged in a different router, a backup one I have just in case something goes wrong. Everything worked perfectly. The issue wasn't exactly the router 100% but a driver incompatibility with the unit that would kick itself off when the computer woke from sleep. Just because 8-20 devices work perfectly on a router doesn't mean a new one will also.
Well, as it turns out you folks are right. Got my new Tab home and had the exact same problems. After 30 minutes downloading the speedtest app, got the same readings as the last tab. Noticed another wifi connection available in my list. No security activated. Gave it a try. Ran the test again and got 100 times the download speed.
Going router looking Saturday morning. Any advice on what I should look for?
HD TV with smart tv
the 5 mentioned laptops (btw two of the laptops were Christmas presents this year)
two desktop computers (one wifi connected and one wired)
and my tab.

Since you have so many different devices. I would strongly recommend a dual-band router. The reason being single band routers only broadcast using one frequency usually 2.4Ghz or 5.0Ghz but dual band routers can do both simultaneously. This should ensure compatibility with all of your devices. Here are a link from newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...10076 600107140&IsNodeId=1&name=Up to 600Mbps
Well, gotta say thanks, and admit that you guys were right... it was our router too...
We did exchange my 7+, and bought a second one for the hubby, but were still having the slow downloads.
I checked the thread, (my notifications stopped for some reason) and saw the comments about a dual band router. Since our router was close to three years old, the hubby bought a Linksys e4200, and what a difference!
7+'s are now zipping along, loading pages immediately, downloading in seconds, and his laptop is also doing the same
Thanks guys, you're awesome!
Got this one at Frys today. What a difference. Download speed went from 37 kbps to 15159 kbps.

Thanks guys
With the new router, my download speed went from 183 kbps to 9334 kbps!
I expect it'll be even better when we're not streaming Netflix and downloading audiobooks for the hubby at the same time
Found the Fix
Hey everyone,
I also recently bought the 7+ and my connection was incredibly slow as well. I believe I have actually found the culprit, at least on my router. Using an app called Network Tester I found out that I was getting extremely high pings to just my router, while my internet connection (when it got through) was speedy. After spending a few hours on my router's settings (Netgear WNDR3800), I stumbled upon a setting called RIP under LAN Setup. I read about it on Wikipedia and decided to enable it and give it a try, couldn't hurt right? Well after switching it to enabled using version 2_M, the 7+ works like it should!
I've tried every AOSP Rom/Kernel variations and I can't get anything to stay USB 4g tethered for more then 5 minutes. Tshed was flying with stock CM7 USB tether and then all of the sudden doesn't work. I tried all AOSP Roms. And wired-tether 1.4 is what I use. Please help me out. I have this phone for another year and that's all I'm missing. Please help. A trick, known set up, etc maybe. Anything not to have to reset the app every 3-5 minutes or so. I can't believe I haven't seen this brought up lately? Is it only me?

Yeah u have to install software on every PC u wanna use and that kinda sucks but I still get the frequent resets and they're connection is pretty slow. I have to reset pdanet, wired-tether 1.4, etc. Every few minutes. I used watershed 1.2 cm7 stock USB tether and it worked beautifully for about a day and then nothing. So I flashed imo's kernel and stock tether doesn't work at all but I have to reset wired-tether 1.4 every 3-5 minutes or so.

I don't use USB tethering often, but when I do, the built in version always works perfectly. Tried it on OMFGB, liquid AOSP, and workshed CM7. An older version of Imo's kernel (version 4 I think) supports USB tethering.

I use easy tether and have no issues. For wifi tether I use opengarden (faster than USB tether) don't have issues with either.
And its only when I try to use 4G. 3G will stay tethered all day long if i let it but its just way to slow. I usually get 15-20 Mbps down with USB tether 4g. Thats fast as hell. I wish I had a little Porto WiFi adapter for my work PC's. Cuz yeah when I wifi tether my AOKP TouchPad I dont have this problem.
There may be something wrong specifically with his ROM. I have USB Tethering working fine on my Sense-based ROM, but I tried his and it would work for 15 seconds and stop working, then never reconnect. I tried having something persistently connected to internet on my phone but that didn't help either.
I use the ClockworkMod Tether. Works on every ROM I've tried.
I was hoping I wasn't gonna have to resort to sense but I might have
to. I need this to just work. No installer PC ware

Ive tried my Phenom2 x6 and 2 Diff. Core 2 Duo's (that's just my House).
A few Newer laptops. Wifi tether worked no problem, just alot slower then straight USB (when it works).
There were a few at work I tried and No good either.
Back when I first started bringing up this issue (Sept.) I was told It was a known 4g issue (By a great Dev who has since moved to the Razor, hint hint) and that's why there is no problem with 3 g tethering at all. Just wondering If someone had a set up that completely works with out having to reset every 5 Min or so. I think I had good Luck with ThunderShed 1.3 this weekend. I fell asleep FTPing some stuff from my friend (good size) and It was finished when I woke up. That's a good sign so far. I just need one person to see this thread that has the perfect setup for 4G USB Tethering, 24/7 if need be. It would be great to know.

I always just used the built in wired tether with cm7. I had an issue once where it would drop in and out, but after doing a total reset and reloading cm7 once again, it was fine. I also don't use the DNS with the phone. I switch my DNS on my PC to be layer3 DNS (4.2.2.1 to 4.2.2.6). DNS is allegedly one of the ways they can track what device the transfer is coming from.

Might also try disabling IPv6 and anything else not needed on the connection as it won't actually tether through it anyways. It could be causing a conflict somehow

So you are running which cm7. I am now running TShed 1.3 and stock tether was great for about 20 minutes. Then just stopped. So turned off tether reset mobile data and 3g 4g. Nothing. Not even wired 1.4 works. Rebooted a few times, I've been at this for bout an hour now and still nothing. Not even wired 1.4. So I switched from auto to 4.2.2.1-4.2.2.6 DNS. Thanks for that bit of info. Now do I have to do that every time? Anyway I'm frigging stuck here and I hear all these people's are working fine.

If you set the DNS on your PC, it should stay that way. You can always verify if you need to. But yeah, I used cm7 and the built in tether just fine.

So every time my USB connection starts it gives me a new Connection(I'm up to like number 54. So I have to go in and set the DNS and disable ipv6 every time? How do I get my USB tether settings to stick on my Win7 Ultimate x64 every time I start my tether instead of it thinking its a brand new connection every time? I got ThunderShed 1.3(stock kernel) installed now and the stock tether isn't working but the wired-tether 1.4 is working great after a couple resets. It must have stuck for a few hours until I shut it off. That's great considering how bad of a time Ive been having.

So every time my USB connection starts it gives me a new Connection(I'm up to like number 54. So I have to go in and set the DNS and disable ipv6 every time? How do I get my USB tether settings to stick on my Win7 Ultimate x64 every time I start my tether instead of it thinking its a brand new connection every time? I got ThunderShed 1.3(stock kernel) installed now and the stock tether isn't working but the wired-tether 1.4 is working great after a couple resets. It must have stuck for a few hours until I shut it off. That's great considering how bad of a time Ive been having.

Now do you see how that "Thanks" button works? yareally is really trying to help me and has helped some, so I have hit the "Thanks".

Not sure why it keeps changing your connection number. It's never done that to me unless I've flashed a new ROM or something when I've used it on windows 7. Turning off and turning back on your wifi device might also do it (the one attached to your PC).
Hey everyone.
I've had the phone for less than a day and I've fallen in love with this device. Everything runs fine except for the Wifi. The signal will be fine for a couple of minutes, then dramatically drop and I'll lose my connection. This issue makes streaming YouTube videos impossible. Anyone else having these issues?

This isn't the case with me. I used my phone continuously on WiFi for about 2 hours this morning with any issues. I'm connected to a Wireless-N 5.4GHz network, so there shouldn't be any problems here (my friends' phones won't work on the 5.4GHz network).
Try going to a Starbucks or something and testing their WiFi there and see if you have the same issues.

same as Dan.. I am constantly on Wifi all the time and I had no problem since I got the phone. I am also connected to Wireless N 5.4GHz network

ugh, got mine today, was very happy, then i started using the market and noticed the wifi signal was fine, but market was slow, loaded speedtest on the one xl and my transformer, both using the same access point, transformer is great, one x can barely make it through the test, keeps timing out..
faulty unit?
also, on the one x the market is telling me to buy all my paid apps again, have to install them all through the website

I have the same problem, but i have 3 routers in the house i can connect too, 2 are 2.4ghz, the third has both 2.4 and 5ghz and i find that i get a stable connection to the 5ghz.. if i let wifi be on 2.4/5 auto then i find the signal drops all thetime, if i lock it to a spectrum it seems to stabilize although it occaisionally drops out.
I'm noticing some wifi issues as well. It seems to jump up and down. Also speed tests are quite slow compared to my other devices that are connected to the network. For example, on my ipad i get 20mbps on a speed test and the htc one x only gets about 8 mbps.
Got mine on release, no problems so far.
Like Dan said, try connecting to another network and report back.
