3g super slow

At work my 3g connection is super slow, most likely everyone is using it since they got nothing better to do, usually getting 30kbps. is there anything i can do to get a faster connection

So many factors need to be taken into consideration. What's your signal strength? I'm guessing you came from another Sprint device (TP2)? If so did you have better speeds before? There are some threads around discussing this topic and potential solution. check out this thread:

**half way down, check out evo3d softhack/faq

Sprint has been having network issues for a number of people so that may be it as well. Tough to nail down though.

Re: 3g super slow

My 3g speeds on my 3D are about half of what it was on my 4G. With that said, my signal is about half of what it was with my 4G. To me, it seems the 3D needs a new radio update.

Re: 3g super slow

The guy at the Sprint Store talked me out of buying a 3D, even though I could get it for about $90. He said the radio issue is hardware, and they will have to redesign it, or it will be a failure of a phone. All the store employees that got one have turned it back in and went to something else, one back to the Evo4G

Re: 3g super slow

While there does seem to be some issue with the radio, lol @ a store monkey knowing if it's hardware or software. I hear them make up at least 3 blatantly wrong things every time I'm in there trying to sell/upsell to people. They're always the last to know about product launches, yet, somehow they'd be the first to know of an engineering issue? I don't buy it.

Not saying it's you, I think the guy you were talking about is full of it.

Re: 3g super slow

My 3D speeds have been quite good. Check your data with your MSL code.

Re: 3g super slow

I found out it is just the location, at home i am getting 1543 down and 702 up kbps, and at work i am getting an avg of 33 down and 111 up....

I have full signal at work... "cell tower is a football field away"

this really sucks, i reported it to sprint but after resetting my phone and etc, they finally put a ticket in for the engineers.

Lets see what happens :\

I did have slow speeds, but now I'm back at over 1000kbits a sec. I was only hitting 300 tops if I was lucky. Hit 10 megs easy on 4G.

Re: 3g super slow

My speed is still slow, even with the ##3282# edit mode change It did nothing for me.
