When I first connect to my home wifi, I get nearly 200 Mbps both up and down. Then, after a while, it'll go down sometimes as low as 20 Mbps. Texts will stop sending or receiving until I turn off wifi. Then they go. Then, if I turn wifi back on, I'm at 200 Mbps again. But eventually, the entire cycle starts over.
I'm on OOS beta 18.

I have noticed this with EVERY ROM I used in the past, and I am still noticing it now. When I Wifi tether (I think it is when I WiFi tether for a long time) the EV connection drops, reconnects, then tries to send/receive data, fails to do so, then drops again. This happens until I turn airplane mode on and then off. Most of the time, this doesn't even work. Yes, I do have USB debugging on. In case you are wondering, I am running Cellular South 2.1 "DangerRom 2.1" with a few mods (Just removed GSD.apk) anyone know what to do to fix this?
BUMP
Anyone?
I can't really say I've experienced this...not sure..

I'm suddenly experiencing it. Investigation would be really nice, if anyone is willing to help. But mine is using mns. PRi 2.11_02 or whatever it is, from DC 1.1b5, and RegawMOD 2.1t is the rom I use.
Not sure if it would have anything to do with it, but try to see if it has anything to do with the amount of bandwidth you are using on it when it happens. I know CS doesn't usually mess with anyone tethering, but if your using a significant amount of bandwidth, they might be pushing your data off the network for a minute.
Reason being because I have noticed that the phone MUST have some kind of throttling going on when it's data just to the phone (how many times have you waited for youtube to start and then it has to sit and cache in the middle of the video) Yet, if I tether I get up to 6mbps, and can stream video like crazy. At the same time if I connect my phone via wifi, (to my 6mbps dsl) I get the good speeds and streaming,etc. Just my 2cents.
I was thinking it was a carrier security measure as well. Sometimes, I can turn on airplane mode and the problem is fixed (for a little while at least). Another thing, It will not just drop once and then reconnect. It will keep dropping and reconnecting every 3 or 4 seconds until I stop tethering for a little while. I also noticed that, when I experience this problem, I can use the internet on my phone with no problem, but once I try to tether, it starts messing up again. Maybe we can find a way to trick the network/ROM from knowing its tethering? I don't know.
Edit: "I have noticed that the phone MUST have some kind of throttling going on when it's data just to the phone" What do you mean by "throttling"?
Ever since i got the thunderbolt the 4G kept getting switched on and off every few minutes or so. i figured maybe it was because Rochester,NY has spotty 4G. So back home in NYC the same thing still happens. It's especially frustrating because i have to keep toggling the internet on and off when i'm trying to listen to my streaming radio that gets disconnected every 5 min. forcing me to listen to a minute of commercials when i do get connected again.
unrooted and didn't get the latest update yet
Today I went from Houston, TX to Waco, TX and had a strong 3g signal in most places and the occasional lte. However, when I got to Waco, my signal dropped to absolutely no data whatsoever when I would normally have lte. I can call and text just fine, but data is gone. I've done countless reboots, airplane mode toggles, network mode switches, profile/prl updates, but nothing gets data back.
Has this happened to anyone before, or has anyone happened to be around Waco today and have the same thing happen?

I'm experiencing a similar issue in NYC with my data connections dropping constantly. Even though I know my issue is the phone itself as even my wifi will not stay connected. All of my connections may stay on for a few minutes, maybe even a half hour, but then the icon disappears and the connection is gone. Then it will come back, usually within 5 minutes, only to disappear again shortly after.
No clue what's going on, I'm running stock, haven't rooted. I did install the new update recently, but I'm fairly sure it was happening before that, I just assumed it was poor service from the hurricane damage tho.
If it wasn't for your wifi, I'd say it would have been from the hurricane.
The problem for me is that my wifi is fine, and I usually have a great signal is most places in Waco. I usually drop down to 3g in buildings or roam when I go below ground (for a class, etc), but I've never had an entire loss of signal like this. It could be possible Sprint is working on a tower here, but you'd think they'd have more than one tower to govern the data for the entire city.
I think if my data isn't back by tomorrow, I'm visiting a Sprint store to see what's up. Until then, I'm just glad I live on campus and my university has wifi all over the place.

This is not entirely related, but I wanted to throw it in somewhere: yesterday I was in a different city, in a part of town that apparently has a very poor Sprint signal. I put my phone down, and when I picked it up 10 minutes later, it was SUPER hot, hotter than a phone of mine has ever been. It also drained around 15% battery in those 10 minutes! I guess it was from constantly trying to connect to the network, and I don't think it was even 3g.... But I've been in poor service areas and have never seen a phone get that hot before.
Well, I feel stupid. Apparently, when I was turning my GPS off with my toggles, I hit toggle mobile data on accident. Silly me.

Hey guys--
So I unlocked my phone the other day with Motopocolypse and installed cm10 and things seemed somewhat smooth, but while I was doing all this I activated a backup phone in case something went wrong. So when I went to re-activate my real phone I've had some really bizarre things happen.
The signal meter is super wonky. It bounces from 1 bar to 5 and then it disappears completely and goes to searching for service. Sometimes I need to put it in airplane mode and pull it out to get it to actually connect again and other times it reconnects on its own seconds later, and then the process repeats.
When connected it only says 1x or 3G. I've read that LTE signal bars are messed up in cm10 ROM's but I'm honestly not sure if it has LTE or not. When I run a speed test I get around 500 Kbps down in an area where I typically have a decent 15 Mbps LTE signal. That suggests to me LTE isn't working correctly. On the other hand, I seem to have data during a call, which suggests to me LTE is working.
To further confuse matters, texting is all hosed up. When I text to my gvoice number for testing, it seems to be delivered about half the time, although the phone consistently reports it's been sent. My backup phone sent consistently 100% of the time. My real phone does seem to be receiving all my tests. MMS doesn't work at all (tried in the form of group texting, not a pic message).
The low and the high is I don't feel like I can rely on this phone right now. Do I need to flash new radios for jb or is it possible something went wrong in the unlock process? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!

So it isn't the unlock.
It might be CM10.
Have you wiped the cache???
Hey guys, so I have had my m8 ever since it came out in March and have LOVED it. Issue I'm having is as the title said, my WiFi is SLOW!! On all WiFi networks I've been on. Specifically my home network, as it's usually what I'm using. As compared to my lte connection and other phones connections anyways. It's always been kinda slow with WiFi, never knew why.. my normal speeds is around 3-15 mbps. Once in a blue moon i will see 25 download speed randomly. I think it's been getting progressively worse as it used to be bearable. But every now and then it's just horrible! I will attach a screen shot I just took with it connected to my home WiFi (50mbps Comcast). About 30 feet away from router (Linksys WRT1900AC). Less than a mbps down and up speeds. Ping ranging from 30 to 200 sometimes. Standing exactly where I was when I tested that, a s5 active got 39 and 12 and a iPhone 6 got 47 and 9 pings both below 40. And when close to the router, both of those phones get all the WiFi! Between 50-60 mbps... With 4g like 30 seconds after that test I got 54 mbps download speed.
Anyone had issues like this before? any fixes you've heard of? Thanks for reading guys
Btw. Phone is completely stock. Never attempted to root it or anything.
What Firmware, radio and rom are you on? Are you s-off?
Phone is completely stock sir. Running Verizon 4.4.4. No s off or roms installed
Same Issue!
I'm having the exact same issue. WiFi is dreadfully slow on all networks. Tried factory reset, and upgrade to Lollipop and still have the issue. I used to love this phone but now I'm about ready to throw it against the wall because of this issue. Example, this page took 4 minutes to load completely.

Install dnset from the play store and activate it. Then try surfing. Report back if it helps.
