Super Slow 3G, someone help!

Alright. I got my Fuze about a week ago. Since I started using it I noticed that my 3G speed is extremely slow. It takes forever for youtube videos to load and when I do a speed check at dslreports.com/mspeed I only get an average of 50Kbits/sec!!! This is on 3G with full service. I was using a BlackjackII and with it I always got about 900-1100kbits/sec and youtube videos loaded in just a few seconds. It's like I am dialup now that I switched to the FUZE. I talked to HTC and they said it had to be the carrier, which is BS in my opinion. When I am at my house I only have EDGE and it works as expected, about 150kbits/sec, sometimes higher.
I have already upgraded to ROMeOS and it is much smoother and drastically improved battery life but didn't help my 3G speed problem.
Anyone have any ideas on what could help me? I am not familiar with changing the radio, is that something that might help?
Thanks,
Sam

It's still possible that this is a provider issue, maybe they cap their 3G speeds at 50kbit/s?
When my phone switches to 3G reception, the signal strength decreases.
Maybe that can be an issue too?

I don't think so, that would be false advertisement. And besides, sitting here at my desk at work with my blackjackII just over a week ago I could bet 1000kbits/sec easily.
Man, I really love this fuze, but it is pointless to have it if I can't use 3g.

first go to settings
connections
advanced network. make sure hsdpa/hsupa are enabled
and if that dont help sometimes roms get better speeds
im on proven and ive gotten over 1000 before so give it a shot

I just tried it both ways...enabled and disabled. 30-50kbits/sec both ways. I had the same problem with ATT stock ROM and now with the ROMeOS. Do you think a diffrent ROM would help?

what does your phone say at the top
e or 3g or h?
and roms do effect it but it could even be your area
have you tried it different places?

When I have HDSPA enabled it says H, then under it says 3G AT&T. If I disable it then it says 3G instead of H.

id say try out another rom
even different versions of the same vary.
one of the older proven roms i only got like 400 on 3g then the next it was up over 1000

Do you think that will help me?

Maybe it's your SIM card. I know that when I got the orange SIM card my speeds were absolute ****e. Its pretty obvious why when if you just take a look at the size of the gold contact. Needles to say my problems went away once I got a new blue SIM.

Constantly getting disconnected from Google servers on LTE

Is anyone else seeing this?
I have both the skyrocket and the Elevate 4G LTE hotspot device and both are showing the same issue: Google services can't keep a steady connection and it simply times out.
My Skyrocket is pure stock and i know that it is getting disconnected from google servers because i stop receiving google voice SMS, gtalk disconnects and i don't receive gmail emails. other apps that use data DON'T get disconnected.
It takes about 10 minutes from the moment i turn off the screen until the connection to google is dropped. the only way to get the connection back is to wake the device login to gtalk again.
Initially i thought it was the Skyrocket but i am having the same issue when i connect my Galaxy tab via the Elevate 4G hotsopt. same issue exactly.
This does not happen on my galaxy note (3G device) and does not happen over wifi.
It also doesn't happen when i tether other android devices to my Galaxy note.
it only happens on LTE devices and it is very annoying.
Is anyone else seeing this?

I guess i am the only one with this issue?
No one is using gtalk ant notice how you don't get messages when on LTE?

Bump!
Still seeing this issue constantly. Am I the only one constantly getting disconnected from Google servers on lte?

First. I hate you. Lol i want the note so bad. Second did you try calling at&t and tell them?. Mabye the can reset your data. I do not have this problem. When the skyrocket first came out lte was screwey, and everyone was changing there apn. But they fixed it after a week.

I keep seeing "unable to connect to server".....but didn't know what it was. Figured it was something to do with being rooted.

Yes it is not an issue with my phone or APN settings as i said it is also happening with their Elevate 4G LTE hotsopt.
I tried call AT&T again yesterday and it is like talking to the wall. they just don't understand what i want and they tell me to "call google as it is not our problem"...
I am surprised no one else is posting about this here except from the poster above me.

I'm experiencing the same issue on two LTE phones, the Vivid and the skyrocket Google talk randomly disconnects.

LTE in Sacramento? Didn't know ATT activated the NorCal central valley yet.

So it seems like this is CA related.
I tried to report this to at&t yet again, this time i spoke to one of their supervisors and he said he will run a few checks and get back to me.

Sac doesn't have LTE.... I was just responding to this thread because I'm getting the same disconnection.
I should of been more specific....I get disconnected throughout the day from the servers and I'm NOT on LTE....I assumed it was because of the ROM I'm using (alien 5). Hopefully someone figures it out....I myself know barely a thing about any of this, it's a miracle I was even able to root and flash lol.

But are you provisioned on an LTE plan? if you are and you are using APN called "PTA" then you will suffer from this even if you are not in an LTE coverage zone.
If you are using APN named "phone" and still suffering from this in a none LTE area then i don't think it is related to what i am talking about.

I just checked and my APN setting says "ATT pta". I assume this can be changes to "phone"?

You can't edit the son. You must add a new one. Not sure about the mms issue. I don't use mms.

Well I'll follow this thread....hopefully someone can chime and figure this out

I've seen this, too. I made a topic about it a few weeks back but no one else seemed to have the issue. I first thought it had something to do with the lack of the "colored" signal indicator new to 2.3 that indicates the GTalk connection. I too lose the connection randomly. I too have the LTE PTA, but am not on LTE...I live aobut 40 miles south of DC.
Is anyone else with this also using a Google Apps account? I wondered if that had anything to do with it. AT&T was also completely unhelpful for me.

Yes this is exactly what i am talking about.
Did you try to manually change your APN from PTA to "phone" (you need to create a new APN and set that phone to use that). See if this solved your problem?

I have the same issue! I'm located in new London CT. There is LTE for the Amtrak line that runs to NYC. My google services disconnects when I'm connected to LTE. I have to open gtalk to sign back in.

I have the problem in los angeles. But not google, my entire data drops in and out. Its super unreliable. I don't have the same issue in San Francisco on LTE. I'm wondering if its oversaturation of LTE in the area? My data when on LTE was so horrible the other day that using my phone to navigate to an unknown location was worthless. It would lose connection and recalculate so often that I was glad I knew kinda where I needed to be. Would have launched my phone into the street out of frustration if I didn't kinda know the area I was in.
My LTE speeds in San Francisco/San Jose are usually 30-60Mbps. In LA I never see over 15Mbps.

Verizon SGS3 no 4g... bug

so on verizon I got my sgs3 and activated successfully ..... so I thought. didnt notice 4g at any time, so called in to verizon and said that I have read a few posts of people not able to activate properly and I think my 4g is missing.
tier 2 rep didnt have the phone to look at and after an hour said it might be a bug, like one that was with the razor maxx. so I get to wait till today for a call back and them to tell me they dont know why Im in a 4g coverage area but not getting 4g....
fun times verizon thanks because being on the "better' network makes it all worth it.

I had to restart my phone after a while then 4g showed up.

I have the same issue. Activated 2 SG3's yesterday. Both are only showing 3G connection. I live in Tyler TX and I know we have 4G coverage. I talked to a rep yesterday and they pretty much told me the same thing. She said maybe there is an update coming to fix it.
They also had me pull the battery and reseat the sim card. Still no 4G

Same here, I'm getting spotty 4 g at best and the signal is **** when I do. My tbolt would have-79 at my house, my Sg3 gets -112 at its best. Just spoke to second level support and was asked to take the SIM out for a few minutes and try again. Same results as before. Here is a pic off my current status. Oh yeah- 32gb pebble blue here.

losing root was my first thought when rep mentioned the update. but in the end, one of the phones hugest points is 4g. Without that i can use another phone.

I have no issue with 4G, and haven't. I am also rooted and have been since it was announced.

Dat LTE speed.

Right on, any suggestions for those of us that arent or those of us that have shotty singal? ty

I'm not sure what to say really. It could be everything from service problems, to the phone having issues, to Verizon working on the network... I mean, had you had a 4G device prior you could compare with?

[Q] Oneplus dropping from mobile network

So my oneplus one occasionally drops from the mobile network. It happens almost daily and it just says no internet connection, no signal bars, no LTE/H+/anything. Only fix is to reboot wich is annoying. Has anyone reported this. Have unlocked and rooted with super-su, no modifications. I wiped cache and dalvic cache with no help. Used the phone few days and it's a constant problem.

I read about one guy with the same problem. He couldn't find a solution though.

Very helpful post..

I have the same problem but no solution yet. dbm values get very high 22453576 sth like that. You tried a different modem?

Try another sim card. While unlikely, it's still possible it causes the issue.

If there is no fix, that means one thing: RMA.

Had similar Problems (With my international OPO)
Flash this radio! It worked for me

I have the same problem and I think it's my sim card.
Had the same problem with my HTC One, and now with OPO.
It's the same sim card so it could be what's causing it.

Not a SIM issue (I think)

I was lucky enough to be able to buy 2 1+1s. My wife has an older SIM with no LTE support - great signal.
Mine has LTE, but like above, shows very high # signal in status screen, but signal goes from high to low to no signal. I tried wife's SIM, full signal all the time.
I'm in Canada on Fido (Rogers). Great LTE speeds when it works tho.

I am having the exact same problem, seems to happen when i charge over night on wifi and then after i unplug it in the morning, mobile signal drops . Mobile data section in settings also disappears. Not sure what it could be.

Now that you mention it, I did lose cell signal yesterday. I put it down to being in a bad coverage area, but once I got home it was still dead. Rebooted and it was back up to full bars...

I get it but it comes back if I use aeroplane mode on and off.

I'm in a well covered LTE area and minevnever gets higher than this. Also drops to Edge most of the day.

8T having data/radio issues ... After EU conv

So I'm seeing this issue back in January from other users forgive me for wanting a rebooted thread on current software.
I have a KB2007 with a build now that of
11.0.10.10 GLOBAL-EU KB2005BA
Originally purchased from Sprint, after the merger was given T-Mobile SIM cards and if I call tech support route through T-Mobile SIM network is T-Mobile everything's T-Mobile.
Before the conversion didn't have radio issues and I called tech support today they had me pull the Sim rebooted put to sim back in and rebooted again. It seem help ( before I literally had no connection for phone calls without Wi-Fi calling) as now it can at least show 5G connection. However the upload speeds are concerning I think? I live in Kansas City and have amazing signal coverage typically even in a tunnel LOL
People take a look at this and give me your thoughts? I was about to roll it back over to the TMO software earlier, I was that frustrated.
Bootloader unlocked- Magisk w/ minor modules
Thank you for your time in advance

@OP6Tluvvvaa,
First off, I want to thank you for the level of detail in your post. Usually, when I respond to a post, I have to start with numerous questions, just to determine what the actual question is.
I happen to own a KB2007 on T-Mobile and I am VERY happy with it.
My 5G speeds have been excellent. I live in Las Vegas, which is rated like T-Mobile's #2 network site by speed on connection.
One thing I CAN tell you is you should not under any condition be establishing an HSPA+ connection for your mobile network.
Your speed test App, however, shows you have an LTE connection, which seems much more likely in line with the speed you are getting.
Your download speeds are actually not bad, but your upload speeds are anemic.
Where I live (at home), I actually get better upload than downloads speeds on my 5G connections, this is very uncommon, however.
What is your full BASEBAND version under About phone->Status ?
The BASEBAND code largely determines how the 5G connection is established, and the resultant upload/downloads speeds.
In the USA, if you are on T-Mobile's network, you should have
BASEBAND version: MPSS.HI.2.0.c9-00145-SDX55_RMTEFS_PACK-1.367946.14
if you have a european BASEBAND version, this could be causing your problems.

I'll check right now, what blows me away is that I cannot be the only 2007 model that did the conversion, that is experiencing the issue right? You think it would be widespread baseband issues or not connecting to the right ones.. and that debloating aside it would have been massively talked about on XDA?

Yes, you definitely have an older BASEBAND.
The thing is that on the T-Mobile branded OnePlus phones, T-Mobile supplies custom T-Mobile specific BASEBAND code for the build.
That's the main reason I hesitate to install a "GLOBAL" image to my phone.
I figure that T-Mobile is going to supply the fastest, most optimized code for their network.
Let me to a little research on this. I am pretty sure you can install "just" BASEBAND code on your phone if you are rooted.

You would be surprised how many people do minimal performance testing on their devices.
I bought a Nord N10 5G about 6 months ago and I found it wasn't actually connecting to 5G AT ALL.
See this post I made:
How 5G Enabled is your Nord N10 5G ?
I have been noting that my Nord N10 5G isn't getting any better of a connection than my old 4G phone, so I set out to see which bands I was connecting on and which were actually enabled on the phone. I have done this in the past on various...
forum.xda-developers.com
Many other owners of this phone confirmed the same thing, so I returned mine to Nord

What else contained in a firmware package? And buy T-Mobile firmware is that what I'm getting rid of when I do a conversion? Is the baseband contained within that
