When ever I connect to a 4G network my phone slows down tremendously. Is anyone else experiencing this. Is there a fix?
Don't use 4G?
Unlike 3g or WiFi, 4g takes quite a bit of processing power. Snapdragon is probably the minimum processor you can use with it. That means if you are doing anything else that uses the CPU other than web browsing, it can slow your phone down. Your best bet is to just not use 4g unless you really need the speed.

It has nothing to do with the Snapdragon processor, this is a bug in the OS that appeared after the last update.
If you install alogcat, you will see some wimax errors popping up every few seconds. The phone is trying to make a loopback but fails. It only happens if you turn 4g on and then either turn it off or lose signal. After that, the only way to get rid of the error is to reboot the phone. I definitely noticed a major slowdown after I had left a 4g area. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
when i have around 60 or 70 hours uptime on my fone
it REALLY REALLY is unusable on 4g mode.
even when I turn 4g off, it will stutter bad.
now after a restart, all is well.
there are sometimes where if i have weak 4g
the radio uses quite a bit more processing power thus
stuttering my fone.
Before I rooted my EVO, I had the 4G lag. The lag was still very much present after rooting it. Bummer.I recently got 4G in my area (Riverside, CA) and for the first time was able to run my EVO on the 4G network. I was so excited when I saw the 4G icon, but turns out I got the same lag as everyone else on here. I read in other posts that updating the profile helps fix this lag but after a while it comes back and you need to update again. I have yet to test this out and see if it works. So I will get back to you guys on that.
Another possible cause that comes to my head is because I rooted my EVO.
Not sure if that plays any role in this.
My phone slows down when connected to a 4g network. after you click an app it takes a couple of seconds to open. scrolling between screens is laggy too. I am in an official 4g area too (NYC)
I'm not in a "announced" 4G area, but I do have solid 4G reception.Ok so I guess it's not because it's rooted.
Let me ask you guys this...are you guys in an area where 4G is official?
It might just be that since they are still trying to fix a few things and that may be the cause of it.

Unfortunately, the lag can be so bad at times, I simply shut off 4G. Ironic, huh?
Charlotte received 4G back in 2009. December 10th marks the 1 year anniversary.
Have you upated your profile?
try that.
Also, when you turn on your 4G turn it on from Settings>Wireless & networks>4G.
Hopefully the lag gets fixed.
