I never paid much attention to that with my Hero. I would probably not have even given it much thought but one of the reasons I upgraded is so when I have downtime waiting in my truck, I can watch HBO and Netflix. The few times I have tried HBO GO it was so bad it would just stop playing stating my connection was to slow. Should I always leave my GPS on for the best 3G signal?
HBO GO on 3g is a NO GO, lol. If the 3g speeds could stay steady over about 700kbs maybe, but they don't. I need 4g for hbo go or wifi.
lol, great. Now you tell me.
Would Netflix run any better than HBO?
on my EVO 4G, Netlix worked flawlessly on 3G, even though our local network isn't too good.Would Netflix run any better than HBO?
This morning I'm getting some great speeds. Phone is averaging over 1 mb/s d/l and almost hit 2 mb/s on one of the test.
Mine says 9.80 Mbps download and 0.94Mps upload and 24 ping is that good? I had it on Kbps then changed it to Mbps. I love this phone so much..

Gotta be 4G because the u/l sp is capped.You must be on 4gn or WiFi. That is great 4g if that is what you are on, especially the ping!
My speed test says ping 21ms download 9932kbs and upload 960kbs and that is at home on wifi 3G was off. Is that good? I know you can view kbps mbps and KB/s which is the best setting to keep it on? Does it matter? I only get one bar here sitting at my desk so I doubt I can test it on 3G. No it wont find a server oh well I'll try it outside when I leave for work on 3G.
novox77 has a how-to guide to get to the bootloader in the Root subforum, fwiw.
But yeah, if you have your MSL, just use that.
I bought my 3d from wirefly (an online store) and apparently i got one of the defective ones because of the horrible 3g speed and it also seemed to get super hot after any use. I went to the sprint store which ended up being worthless considering they had some young kid look at it for a minute tap a few buttons and say it was probably broken and i should send it back which i ended up doing. Heres my question if these clowns send me another defective phone what do i do can i exchange it at a corporate sprint store if i have it tested this time and the rf is defective or do i have to keep getting replacements from the same place?
FOREHEAD SLAP
That's another thing that hadn't occurred to Mr. Wifi Analyzer!
My 3vo vs Evo - the 3vo is showing slightly higher wifi sensitivity, by a couple of dBm, but it's there.
It's got a 10 dBm higher sensitivity to one of my neighbor's wifi signals - and unlike the Evo - anything below -90 dBm, it filters out.
