i have a sprint hero on boost. i have talk, text and data working but i could never get mms to work (i just use email). i have searched and tried every suggestion but i cant get my hero to receive at speeds above 220 kB/s (down). can anyone help me solve this problem? my donor was a htc mogul. i used that because when i used the rant as a donor the speeds were even slower.
can anyone tell me how to get faster speeds??
Hello
Can anyone help me? I use the speedtest app to check my speed because it takes awhile to load internet pages. I have full bars H+ but only getting 0.56 mb download and 0.76 upload.
My server points to Kansas city even though I'm in Seattle wa area.
I'm running on the new cyanogenmod 7.1
Thanks in advance.
sounds about right for some att towers, in less populated (ie the farm fields) you'll get that speed.20 minutes east of Cleveland i get 1.5 to 2.5 download speeds
Should I get a new Sim card it has been a couple years since then?
Thanks

I will help you to increase the speed of the internet....You can use the latest Browsers, Like Opera and reset the mobile before that,get the new settings from your service provider.So you can install the virus protection software,use the tips in user manual to how to browse or use GPRS fastly sure it is that or get that details from Online Mobile official or sites...But signal is important to get full speed in internet,You can check the speed of the internet at IP-Details.com
Having slight issues with my note on vodafone Uk, whenever I try to browse the internet and the 3g sign in status bar shows weboages don't load at all, when the H is showing bam they load really fast, and even when the E is showing they load but slowly, which is to be expected with edge. So why wouldn't it be loading when on 3g? Have I got some setting wrong on the phone?
HSDPA is faster than 3G.
3G (3rd Generation of Telecommunication Standards) is a standard of cellular connectivity which allows for speeds of up to 384 Kb/s downstream and 64 Kb/s upstream. 3G HSDPA is a 3G enhancement. HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) is a new mobile data protocol and is sometimes referred to as a 3.5G. Theoretically, HSDPA speeds can reach 3.6 Mbps downstream and 348 Kbps upstream. But the purpose of putting both on a smartphones is to make sure that your phone get internet access even when the other one is not available or have no access
possibly an issue with vodafone, have you contacted them to see if there are any issues?
as for the above post, totally irrelevant and hsdpa wil lgo alot faster than 3.6

Yeah they seems to think my sim card needed resetting, but hasn't made a difference, still does it. Hopefully someone has the same issues with a work around searched the net for hours, with not effect. The other weird thing is if its stuck on 3g and not loading I usually disable data on power button menu then er enable and H usually comes back and it works again, even if I turn it to GSM only in network setting, so Edge is only possible it works fine also just takes ages to load any pages which is annoying!
how long you had the sim card? it might be a provisioning issue with it
You think? Well I've had it a few years now like, 3 I think.
Vodafone SIM card works fine in my Note (SIM free from Germany).
I'd suggest try your SIM card with a different phone and try a different SIM card in your Note if possible to see if the fault is with your SIM card or Note.
P.S. Are you using any custom ROM? Could be a problem there.
No I'm on stock rom kka, yeah sure its something today with network or sim card, just rang them to get a new similar. Hopefully that will sort it out.

Fixed my issue, turns out it was happening a lot with people who have the galaxy s2, needed to enter code *#301279#, and release 5 hspa only, then disable fast dormancy mode on the phone, now I'm getting fast 3g everywhere :-D
It does say 3g and not just g?
if youre in the uk and only getting edge or gprs it may not be the phones fault.
I had a similar issue, we all assume we can get full 3G everywhere, not necessarily.
To solve this you need to buy the Vodafone sure signal box, it basically plugs into your home broadband router and then transmits full 3g around your house to whatever numbers you register on the box, including dongles.
The whole family can use it as you can register 32 numbers into it.
Cost about £50 new, i have a BNIB never been used or taken out of the box new one here, up for sale as it happens for £25.
Anyone interested should PM me....
Or you could just use wifi as you are at home anyway.
As I said sorted the issue it had something to do with the phone locking into search for hspa, and not reverting back to 3g when there wasn't any hspa signal. Apparently its a problem Samsung are working on. But the little fix of only scanning for 3g works for now, and I did a bandwidth test on hepatitis, and 3g, and 3g was actually faster. So not bothered.
Great find bud u should start another thread explaining the steps in a guide cause this is great info for Vodafone UK users

sorry for my bad english (not native)
I asked at&t rep
because I used Infuse and N7000 for AT&T in faster HSPA+
now I changed my phone into newer,better phone and got slower data speed
(0.01Mbps at downloading)
and they said that N4 is not recognized their system
so the slower plan had applied to N4 when I got the micro sim card from AT&T store)
that's why HSPA+ speed is not applied to my phone (I tried several APN setting and nothing worked!)
I asked them to change data plan into HSPA+ (APN Setting should be applied to your phone)
and now I have better speed than I did
(1.7 Mbps for downloading)
If you have AT&T plan and have a terrible speed, Just ask them
, or get any IMEI from AT&T HSPA+ phone and tell them you have HSPA+ phone and need changing data plan.
I attached screen shot.
two test from the bottom is on the old plan
and three test from top is on the new plan
I have the G920T unlocked and rooted on Android 5.1.1 - Battery life since getting the latest update and rooting has been awesome.
I have also seen a huge improvement in data speeds - I am on the ATT Network - TMOBILE in my area was very very poor for me anyway - I can't even get phone calls inside my home and at work - on TMOBILE -(without WIFI Calling) and data sppeds on LTE was very slow - that is why I moved to ATT. (In my mind there is somehting inherrently wrong when phone call service can only be accomplished when you connect to a wifi nework. I personally think that is why TMOBILE started WiFi callling - to make up for poor signal issues....anyway
Data Speeds for me have always been good on aTT - but Friday on my way to work, I did a few spot checks and was amazed to be getting betweeen 36MB and 48MB Download speeds and 18MB to 24MB upload speeds on ATT LTE. COnsistently -
This is much higher than I have ever had before - normally, I used to get 15MB to 20MB download speeds - respectable but now it is nearly double.
In my house, I used to get up to 10-12MB download - but when I checked this morning it was RUNNING closer to 25.
Bottom line to all this - I am curious if any one else has noticed a significant increase in data speeds - on either TMOBILE or ATT ? Is it possible that the new Modem with 5.1.1 could have caused this kind of improvement in data speeds or is it more likely network related?
On T-Mobile getting 75mb down & 30 up. Love T-Mobile, keep AT&T.

Another thing I've noticed is they finally fixed the force close us edge users use to get for some themes when we would try to access the edge settings....
