[Q] Is this normal?

hello everyone,

So i still had an htc touch pro 2 until a couple days ago and they upgraded me to an evo 4g through their replacement program. Anyway this phone is a refurb and I noticed something strange.

Here are my initial download speeds at home when I first got the phone.


Ok so then i did a power cycle and the speeds dropped the following


So my question is whether I have a bad radio, or if it is something that is wrong with every phone.

In order to fix the issue I have to update the prl then do a update profile twice. then go into the ##3282# and do the profile update from there so that it goes through the hands free activation.

I appreciate your help

Thank you

**I searched all around but it seems most people just experience the issue all the time and don't get it fixed until the device is replaced**

Speeds vary greatly depending on time of day, location, etc. I've found that early evening are usually the worst. Also in my locale, Sprint has been working on my nearby tower and data speed went to hell.

Re: [Q] Is this normal?

ok. I see what you are saying, but sprint isn't working on any tower near me and these new speeds of .06 are throughout the entire day. When there is most traffic and i do the fix i get around .8 which is not that bad, but my question was if it was normal for the speeds to drop like that after a reboot. For example if its 1 am i get speeds of 1.6-2.3Mbps and if i restart the device i get the .00-.07 Mbps, but when i apply the fix the speeds go back up until after about 2-4 hours or i restart the device. I appreciate your response.

Re: [Q] Is this normal?

Are these speeds showing up when you're connected to 3G or 4G? It's also not out of the ordinary at all to be getting those speeds, especially when sprint is concerned.

I get those speeds connected to 3g, but my brothers phone is also an evo 4g and i tested it out and he is getting the full 1.8-2.3Mbps at around 1am while i get those speeds, but only with the fix. After I restart the device the speeds drop to .00-.06Mbps

that is totally insane, I think your modem is fucked. Take it back and get it replaced.

I think Sprint is updating towers and such.
Speeds can vary on any device or carrier though.

Try calling sprint and have them reset your device.
They can resend things that you can't do yourself.

Couldn't agree more, and the network site they put up is a joke at the moment. I'm very surprised that sprint is leading in CS.
