Sprint throttling 4g!! - Android

Today I was working at a Sprint 4g site. I figured I'd run some speed test while I was there. Here are some screen shots of my speed tests. Anyone else notice? What's the deal with that???

Sorry couldn't attach multiple pics.This was my best test, I would have thought I'd get at least a 4.5 or more at least once. Still pretty fast though! Would like to hear if others are seeing the same type of results.

Do you think this is right or correct

I am sure its correct why even ask? I have gotten slightly better speeds many times.
Kinda confused... is this on 3g? Were you expecting higher? Lower?

It could be right...... But it could be correct too.

You must have some sick Wimax coverage to be able to do online gaming from your connection. No way you mean xbox or ps3 though.

I am not even gonna lie, I have played modern warfare 2 on xboxlive while tethering my xbox to my touch pro 2 a while back and shockingly it actually played fairly well considering the type of connection I was running.

YouTube lags phone?

Been bugging me since I got this phone I just never seen anyone talk about it. Does YouTube lag everyone else as much as me? Pretty sure my EVO and EVO shift never lagged like this phone that is mire powerful does.

What you mean it lags ? Like it doesn't loaf or going to landscape to portrait , well and update has come out since the 3D was released so Idk if the update is the one messing up with your phone in my end it works fine

Like scrolling around the comments is slow, or pulling down my notification bar. I've had this problem since day 1 and now I still have it up to date and on every rom I've used.

Anyone notice all the problem threads?

Does anyone else's phone actually work? Just seems like there are a lot of problems going around.

You should have seen the transformer prime forums when that launched. Damn that was bad and not even a phone..
I just avoid the problem threads. I have no issues that i notice so i figure why go looking for them. If they are pointed out to me I'll be annoyed even if it previously didn't affect me.

Exactly. Put me down in the zero-issues column. If I notice something, I'll search for a solution, but I won't go chasing after device hypochondria.
Agreed. I've had mine since May 24th and have had 0 issues.
The sad thing is is everyone will jump on board in a problem thread, but then again, those that are enjoying there new toy and have 0 issues won't post a thread just to say this is awesome.
With that being said, we are still within the first 2 weeks of launch, and only 2 days past the official launch date. The dev community is getting geared up, and there are still a lot of great dev's waiting to get their devices.

Evryone wants a perfect phone I been thru a lot release from the OG evo, to the 3d, iPhone 4s, and galaxy nexus, and man they all the same... Do you have dust under screen? Is your screen warm or blue? Do you see lines? Does your speaker does this?, people going over 3 iPhone or Evos and there still no happy, I seriously don't know if I'm just lucky or I really don't noticed anything cause I never had a problem like that, for example when the 3d came out they said the screen was tilted, I don't freaking now how much time you need to have to noticed that cause to me it was normal, or the "screengate" on the iPhone forums, idk man my phone is good best reception since og evo and talking and browsing the Web is amazing when you use it so I'm happy evo owner

Yet another useless thread...why oh why lord?!?
I know I shouldn't have even bothered with my useless reply...my apologies...
Mine would spontaneously reboot, maybe 5-10x in the first 24 hours I had it. Yes I did factory wipe. No I didn't restore any apps, root, or even install an SD card.
So I exchanged it, and this one seems solid, not a single reboot. I'm convinced there was something wrong with the first one.
With that being said, I love this phone.
I think I have a bum phone.
The stock browser disappears quite a bit. Text wrapping for the browser, gmail app and others isn't right. I have to swipe left and right to read.
Sense launcher has long reload times when exiting apps.
My screen is slightly protruded at the top right corner and the battery life for me yesterday off a full charge only lasted eight hours. Normal work day of checking emails, a few phone calls, browser look ups etc. No games or heavy use.
I'm going to exchange it as soon as I have time.
Stock not rooted or anything.
I miss the search button but have mostly got used to the dots.

getting a phone next week

And it'll be the Evo LTE or the SGSIII.
I have handled both and like the Evo more. (rocking a Photon currently)
My one question: is there a RELIABLE AND BUG FREE workaround yet for the botched multi-tasking??
If not, I think that will ruin my experience.
Thanks.
Nope, even with everything I've tried it is still crwp when compared to other phones I've owned, specially stock android 4.1.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Wow, not good. You have tried the custom ROMs that are available with the supposed tweaks to fix this?
Thanks.
I haven't noticed it at all. I can leave an application and go back into it 10+ minutes later and it's still where I left off.

I tried multiple roms and so far it seems there is no fix.
For example I was on the web browser. Backed out with the home key to go to home screen. I then went to settings to change my display settings went back to browser and the whole page had to reload and refresh.
My GS2 and Galaxy Nexus was better then this phone in the performance department.
Not to mention after you start installing apps and setting up your home screens the phone just gets slower and slower and less snappy.

Yep. It's bad.
Bad enough that my lte is sitting in a drawer as I use an alpha cm9 build on my evo 3d. Multitasking, background downloads stopping, and overall sluggishness compared to stock drove me away.

Jelly Bean will be running on the LTEVO any day now, which will mitigate the multi-tasking issue. With that said, I've tried both and the LTEVO was the clear winner for me. The Galaxy is way too plasticy for me.

The multitasking will get better with AOSP, I think. Actually, is it possible its because of the s4? Could anyone else using a phone with s4 respond to this? Much thanks.

Nope. Just this phone. I returned this phone due to crappy gps, lag and horrible multi tasking. Having to keep my screen on to download something was unacceptable. I'm on a s3 now and xda app was still on the last Page I viewed yesterday evening and I've played a few games and run a few other apps. Gps is best I've ever experienced on a phone. Hard to say that and Samsung in same sentence lol
One thing I miss is reception though

Speed up Android 90%

I saw this in Reddit today and thought I'd post it to the EVO forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032
Yes i saw this on reddit too, have you tried it out yet?
I tried it out, there is actually a speed boost. Although I think my battery suffered a bit.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
nice find! i need to start checking out other threads/sections on xda.. i always just stay in what ever phone i have at the time thread.. there's alot of other cool issh goin on else where :good:
I too saw that on Reddit. I tried it out on my Evo running Stock w/ Goodies, and on my Nexus 7. Installed, rebooted, and played a bit to let things "settle in", and there is definitely a noticeable improvement in speed and responsiveness, on what were already pretty swift and smooth devices.
I haven't tried it yet, but will soon. If this works out in the long run, hopefully the devs can put this in their roms. I wonder if Google knows about this...
Anyone do a quadrant on this yet? I'm curious if it really works or its just a placebo. Also, how is battery life?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Haven't looked much into this but improvements of this nature usually have a decent drawback.... Ie battery life...
interested in some results though if anyone does it

Directions seem to be hard to come by in that thread... I installed the apk in it, and also flashed a zip file that was referenced in one of the last pages. Doesn't seem to make a bit of difference... As a reference, though, I benchmarked a 6700 on basically stock JellyBean a few weeks back. Still have the screen shot from it saved.

All you need is the .apk, toggle, check & reboot.

Come on guys, running a benchmark to see if it works is a total waste of time. I can run the same benchmark 10 different times and get10 totally different scores without applying any mods at all.

This is better:
Enter this in a terminal to see if its working.
watch -n 1 cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
3000+ & its doing its job. (Per that thread)

tried it on my Sony S, doesn't really appear to do anything... then agian I wasn't having lag issues...
Also, this shouldn't affect quadrant... just random lags
Cyanogenmod himself posted in that thread saying that there is something going on, but he doesn't know what exactly it is... However there is a mild speedup according to him. He just doesn't know why

From what little I know about entropy pools, the larger this pool (a pool of random actions right?) is & the faster your programs/inputs are able to access it. The more responsive they'll be.
I could be very wrong but this is what I assume is happening here.
This pool that continusly dumps & fills for however many seconds is about 300-400 nomally on our device. With the tweak the pool is 3000+, I think the tweak also increases the speed of the refresh to access the pool by 1 second.
So 1 second (every second this -> 4 digit figure randomly fills & dumps) + 3000+ accessable random numbers (actions) vs. undetermined number of seconds & a pool avg or 300-400.
Again I'm guessing. I haven't spoke of this since my Eee PC & that might've been for a kernal.
I imagine it as a hand/s repeatedly reaching for a few hundered chocolates spinning in a whirlwind (before) & a ton of random chocolates with even faster hands reaching for a few thousand chocolates spinning in the whilrwind (after).
