Going to ##DATA#, and editing the EVDO profile to CDMA HDR Only, I find, gives me the best speeds. The default is CDMA LTE HDR Only. It pains me that LTE is still yet not available in the PDX, but it's what we have to live with for now. In this setting I'm averaging above 1.5mbps and my upload speed is always lower than my down, which is comforting haha

In my experience it's the network that is congested, not my phone settings. I get 2400/1000 kbps at 4am, and 200/300 at peak hours around 12-9pm.

I second this post. I believe that with the integration of this phone more peoplewho had access to 4G and used it day to day is now in the same bus as everyone else is using 3G, hence the congestion.
We will all be floating around sharing the same spectrum till LTE starts making it's debuts in cities all around.

Every phones password is different.
If you are rooted, you can use an MSL reader from the market.
If not, call sprint ask for your MSL code and (assuming you don't get a douche bag agent) they will give it to you.
was the default somthing else?? cause mine was already on cdma HDR..

I tried it and got improvement. Previously on CDMA HDR LTE I did a speed test and had D: 1128 U: 543. When changed to CDMA HDR I now get D: 1646 U: 841. It was connected to the same server for the test and in the exact same spot.
Quick heads up/fyi:
Going to settings/mobile networks/network mode then changing to "CDMA Only" is quicker/the same as doing the ##data## bit..that's kind of the long way 'round (specially if you're not rooted or don't have your MSL)
That's what I get if I'm LUCKY at my house -_-

Yes it straightened out but it was more like 10 mins. Do you have to do the ##data# trick to get it on CDMA only or will just changing the mobile network setting do the trick? I've read on Sprint.com that if you do this you will save battery life if your not in a LTE area.

My 3vo is getting max 126 download and even worse upload. Four people in my family have EVO 4g, they are consistently getting close to 1 mbs and similar uploads. Tried the proxy fix and everything. My speeds are typically better where I live, but are horrible this holiday weekend. Could it be the towers here don't like the 3vo, or should I exchange the phone?

Try 2 things before you take it to Sprint:
First, update your PRL and Profile (Under Menu-Options-System Updates) and then hard reset the phone. (Turn it off, pull battery, turn it back on) then test your speeds
If that doesn't work:
Try the MSL fix Here
Make sure to write down your defaults, as I hear Sprint doesn't like it when you mess with that stuff, and set it back if it doesn't help.
If all else fails, go to Sprint, whine or something. Maybe they'll give you an AirRave. I'm just not a fan of having other people fix my problems.
I get same DL as you, upload speed is like 18. Only getting 2-3 bars most of the time even though I pulled up the sprint map and there are supposedly towers all over the place here.

The over the air provisioning is not authenticating your 3g (only 1x speeds)
The fastest and easiest fix is to call sprint tech support and have then perform a HLR RELOAD or refresh on your data profile.
From there, you will go to settings then update profile from your evo
Note: if the hrl reload doesn't work, have tech support "REPROVOSION YOUR DATA PROFILE" (exact words)
Trust me. This works
What happened was when you dis the hands free activation, 3g was not authenticated correctly.

I has the same problem all last week, it turns out (God, knows why) but my EVDO setting was CDMA and it had to be set to Automatic - Once I changed this, I was getting much better speeds.
called sprint. they did something and asked me to reset the phone after we hung up. same speeds afterward, 98 down, 70ish up. said they can't do anything else because i am calling from the phone i need service on. i don't have another phone to call from right now so i'll have to call back later and request the reloads mentioned above.
after resetting my phone, i did prl update, profile update and the proxy fix. still getting same speed results.

Those are 3g speeds so sounds like authentication for you isn't an issue. Probably just the network where you are.
i would be satisfied with speeds in that range, even if they were sporadic. what i'm getting is .2 mbps down .03 mbps up (or less) consistently. just got .03 down, .11 down and .18 down, on my last three tests.
I am constantly getting 300-400kbps down and 50-150kbps up.
Tried ##786# and performed a data profile reset. Fixed it got great speeds now.

Funny thing is, the only time I EVER have issues with my 3G speeds are
1) At home when I can always use Wi-Fi
2) At school when I don't need 3G for much anyway
If the service in your area isn't enough for you, then you should switch to another carrier. I wish I could switch to Verizon, but they're more expensive and don't have unlimited data.
Here are my speeds, testing around in various places (school, my house, my girlfriend's house, etc.)

So the RTSP and HTTP changing them to 0 and 0.0.0.0 gave you worse speeds?
Sprint blows, i have the same issues in michigan with full bars. They are over congested in my area and don't seem to be in any rush to expand thier 3g network(or introduce 4g). At my other house i get low to average speeds though, also with full bars. IMO, you should never see speeds lower than 800 kbps with 3g coverage. Unfortunately, at my house on the east side of Michigan, the data is frequently between 400-800 kbps, though that is still much higher than the speeds i get when im at my apartment on the west side of Michigan.
keep in mind that the competition is almost always pulling 1500-2500 kbps in areas like mine.

Here's mine
Swyped from mah 3vo!
sprint is the only company where I can get the best service at my place. It all depends on locations you can have them but like a router for 4g 3g service in your house.
LOL at least you get "decent" speeds. On my old TP2 I was getting 600 kb now with the 3D I can't get past 32 kb on 3g. If it wasn't for Wimax near me I would be with big red.....sero plan helps. Seems like I got a fancy paper weight when I'm not in a WiMAX area...... Unlimited data so slow you can't use it.
Going to Sprints website and looking at the coverage map it shows I should have 4g but don't. My signal is between -87dbm to -93dbm which is weak! Now if I drive 20 miles I have 4g and amazing speeds of 4-8mps. At the house I was lucky to get 200kbps.
After reading about editing the build.prop I played around with the flowctrl starting at 1 running test and repeating changing the value up to 7.
After several tests setting my phone to 3 gives the best results. Now getting over 1100kbps down and 700+kbps up.
This might be common knowledge but I just played around with it thinking it wouldn't make much difference but it does! So if you have poor 3g speeds try changing your build.prop setting.
"persist.ril.uart.flowctrl=1" This is what you look for. Change it and see what kind of results you get. Believe only 1 through 7 can be used.

I wasn't able to get this working on my Photon. Exact same speeds every test.
-87 dbm is pretty good dude, most likely network congestion. Try running a speedtest in midday and late night and see

And i dont have 4g near me...
Sent from my rooted mofo running on sprints 4g network
-87 dbm is the best I get. Usually I'm at -96+. From what I've read that is a pretty weak signal.
To modify my build.prop I used root explorer. Made a backup then started messing with the numbers. 3 ended up boosted me from under 200kbps to over 1100kbps. I tested this throughout the day to make sure it wasn't tower load. When on default 1 would never get over 200kbps. On 3 lowest was 900kbps. Ill keep testing though, remember you have to try 1 through 7 until you find what works best for you. Searching I found quite a bit of people who improved 3g speeds doing this. There is even a market app that does basically the same thing.

I found a tower in San Antonio that has 4G LTE broadcasting right now and played on it a bit yesterday. I was driving around trying to find the actual tower and would drive in and out of range. While testing 4G with speedtest or the browser it would freeze when losing 4G and reverting to 3G. I was using a not to be named dual-core awake mod/kernel at the time. Well, I remembered a reason we have dual-core and not quad-core is because of LTE so I went and flashed back to stock kernel. I didn't have the problem today when I went and played on the tower this time.
I may be completely wrong, but I wanted to bring it up to you devs who know more than I do.
This could also just be pure coincidence.

Its possibly nothing and really safe to say not to deduct anything from that experience until it is officially announced as "live" in your area...b/c right now they are still blocking from most sites so that alone could be causing issues and the hand off's...
Also without a log no dev is going to be able to troubleshoot the handoff your talking....though i honestly dont know what in the dual-core mod would cause that experience as all its supposed to effect is the cpu clock's which wouldn't touch data management connections in anyway...
Yeah, I know it is doesn't help to not have a log. I posted just in case someone out there wanted to know and if they want me to go and try to reproduce what I was describing and save a log then I would.
It is speculation.
And there are several cell towers in San Antonio now allowing 4G LTE connections.
To find them I have had to toggle airplane mode. Not just mobile data. When you have 4G in the area it will take a bit longer to connect data as it tries to negotiate which signal is best. Then it will connect to 3G or 4G accordingly. If you only have 3G in the area then after you toggle airplane it will go directly to 3G. That pause is the indicator you are close to a 4G tower.
Or if your data keeps dropping out. Your phone is trying to connect to lte but the tower is blocking it

it does in a way
it tells the phone which towers to connect to first, so it could tell the phone to connect to a faster tower instead of a slower one
right?

Prl only affects roaming. Nothing to do with sprint native coverage. For example certain prl's will allow you to connect to 3g roaming with verizon.
Just updated in ny

Lol yes it does. Especially on Sprint and especially when you live where I live. If the verizon tower near where I live wasn't included in the roaming list that I have then I would probably not even connect to 1X.
So yes, it does matter.

Doesn't matter in regards to native coverage. Of course it matters for roaming.

No it doesn't tell your phone to connect to towers on an order. It's by cellular system.
The only thing you will get out of this is of you are in Baltimore it adds 800smr coverage there.

Is anybody else noticing poor or poorer signal with the PRL 25010?
What ever the previous PRL was it seemed to work well. Sometime this week my service updated with 25010 and i started to notice lower signal in areas that i have always had full signal.
Then on 3 occasions now i have had text messages come all at once..
Example, this morning 11 messages came in all at once. This is bad because where i live is always full bars / great service. For the past few days its been 1 to 3 bars..
Another example. At my office, i get 4G LTE half bars, its been hovering at 1 bar. Then i got an email from someone trying to call me and it goes straight to voice mail. So i called my self using a differnt phone and sure enough.. multiple times it went to voice mail. Power cycling the phone fixed the issue of calls not going thru but i still have what seems to be poorer recieve signal strength.
I did check the back cover and verify its on tight.
Also my data speeds seem slower, on 3G and LTE.. but i would expect this with lower signal anyway, so the two should go hand in hand..

Everything you describe would not be caused by a PRL update. These would be tower issues.
