Still Suffering Speed Loss

[Muilisx]

After the recent update for our phone a couple months ago. My 4G got a lot slower. I thought it was a flukee, but after all this time. Still Slow.

I use to get 4mb down and like 6mb up, now it seems the phone kind of locks up during speed tests which causes the speed to drop. 1.2mb down now on a bad day is pretty bad for 4g.

Sometimes when downloading something, the data will just time out, and then reconnect a minute later, not sure why it's doing this.

Anyone have a speed issue since the update?

I have been suffering heavy losses, I can barely function on the forums anymore.

I used to get 3-4 mbs down and 4-5 up. Now I can't even measure the speed, the app I was using didn't read in kbs...

I'm getting very low speeds as well. At m house my 4g is as slow as 100kbps down...

Id be guessing that you are from Long Island NY. I think the main reason for this is Sandy. I live in south brooklyn and the strength of my signal is still really bad in many areas of NYC

He said its been happening since the firmware update. If it started happening since sandy hit, he probably wouldn't be complaining on here....no?

Sandy past by around 2 months ago (couple) so I assumed that firmware might not be the main issue. In some cases problem might be caused by different factors, in few cases, issues are not noted right the way. If I'm incorrect please disregard it.

I am actually in south florida where metros 4G is usually strongest. This speed issue started AS SOON as the update was installed. This has nothing to do with Sandy. I noticed a speed loss right after i installed the update.

If i knew how to downgrade I would, and see if that helps.

[DQScott95]

Can someone try the downgrade and post any changes in data connection?

Yes, but do you have the updated firmware getting those speeds? Or are you still on the stock firmware?

Try fresh network from the store might help you get better signal

Got lucky then

Wasn't this suppose to wipe the phone to factory?

I just did it, and all my apps and backround and settings are all the same.


edit: but , I don't care because the firmware is back to the stock, and I am now getting 5mb down, and 3mb up. I am home too, before I kept getting 1.7mb down day after day after day in the same location.

So, seemed like this worked like a charm, and i did not have to reinstall anything...

AWESOME!

Thanks!

What exactly did you do? Could you post a step by step?

I'm getting pretty slow speeds in my home though when I first got my phone I had much faster speeds. After reading this thread I thought maybe it had something to do with the update too. However, after downgrading to stock firmware there was no difference for me.

I suppose the slower speeds is just because more people are using the network. Can't wait until they start upgrading the network here in California.

They should update us at the end of the month about the spectrum Refarming & other 4G upgrades (VoLTE) when they do their Q4 earning calls
