Sprint Touch Pro Data Speeds?!
 

Has anyone ever felt like its data speeds aren't up to par with previous Pocket PC data speeds? ie. the Mogul. It feels like I've been getting way faster speeds with my regular HTC touch and HTC mogul over my Diamond and Touch Pro... I'm located in an area with very strong sprint signal so a weak signal is not of the issue. I haven't done an official speed test but the differences are very noticeable...It feels slightly faster than edge on GSM networks but not quite up to Ev-DO Rev A speeds i used to be getting!! It's been bugging me for a while and just wondering if you guys think the same.

We are waiting for HTC new rom may have new radio for gps and better signal phones and speeds.

Sometimes my data speeds are blazing fast and other times it's a crawl. I think it depends on the time of day (peak time) and where you are at the moment. I have mastered all the the tweaks I have found on here for Opera and Opera mini and they work! But if you hit that peak time, it doesn't matter what tweaks you have, it will slowwwww to a crawwwwwl.

It is just the nature of CDMA2000 EVDO. Data rate is adjusted according to signal strength.

I just got a brand new TP. Speeds at the house seem to be about the same as my mogul and vogue. It is hard to tell for sure because speeds from the local cell change all the time. I ran one test and got 1.2down and 0.4up. 5 minutes later 0.8down and 0.3up. I can'T wait till my class on Tuesday night, the cells by my school use to give both the vogue and titan 2.2down.

Personally my diamond and pro speeds are great, with or without a great signal. I have ran speedtests while tethering on both devices and I average 1.8-2.2 down and .3-.4 up on both phones, this is even with 1 bar or full bars. I guess I live in a pretty good area.

I just ran a few tests, all fell between 1.5mbps and a little over 2mbps. I never had a mogul, but what I'm getting is faster than what I used to get on my Treo 700WX

Re: Sprint Touch Pro Data Speeds?!
 

There was athread awhile ago with the theory the Pros were speed capped.
Don't know about that but I get 700kbit/s download.
Went to the other side of town last week and could'nt even load a web page as the connection totally dropped.

Guess it depends.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro Data Speeds?!
 

Yeah, it totally depends. It can change from one minute to the next. Sometimes it's 500 kbps , sometimes, it's almost 2 mbps.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro Data Speeds?!
 

Is that definite about new ROM?

Re: Sprint Touch Pro Data Speeds?!
 

775 kbps HERE... I'll take it

Sitting in a Panda Express right now. It's a little faster then the open wifi from three doors down, so I'm using it.

For some reason, speedtest.net thought I was in LA. Silly.

Really, it doesn't seem that different from the mogul.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro Data Speeds?!
 

well in y area dont have e re a from sprint yet but it is 15 mins away thoe up there is 3900 down and 866 up

Re: Sprint Touch Pro Data Speeds?!
 

i used to get 2.2-2.4 now i only get around 1.3

Re: Sprint Touch Pro Data Speeds?!
 

I've seen folks post those speeds too, but here in the Bay Area, and also on the East Coast around the Metro DC/Baltimore area I have personally never seen such speeds on my mogul.

It's possible Sprint has (er, had) some areas with these speeds and has dialed them down since?

According to the docs on EVDO-a the speeds should be

13 1536 2 5120 5/12 16-QAM
14 3072 1 5120 5/6 16-QAM

(1.5 or 3.0 Mbit/sec) PEAK

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evoluti...TIA-856_Rev._A

Note that is "Peak" - sustained rates for EVDO-a are no more then 1.7mbit/.8mbit unless you are the only EVDO-a data user on a tower.

So, I think what you're actually seeing is more EVDO users on your tower. Or Sprint is using the DRC 13 index, not the 14 one. I wonder if that setting can be changed.

Watch out for that Panda Express, my friends dad supposedly got food poisoning twice from that place hahah.

My TP speeds is about 1mbps slower than my Mogul, which topped out at around 2.5mbps

Re: Sprint Touch Pro Data Speeds?!
 

Just got the TP last week - I have a fairly good signal but today I just got 850kbps. I typically averaged about ~200kbps on my Moto Q9c. Loving the speed!

Re: Sprint Touch Pro Data Speeds?!
 

I'm getting about 500kbps and I have 1 to no bars in my house. I will check it next time I head towards my stronger area right down the road.
