jd21 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2012 my evdo speed is too slow like 1x speed. am a very new user in cdma and noob in everything in cdma. just fewdays back bought htc evo 3d cdma. all the settings are preinstalled for evdo by the seller. if i connect to internet, i can see 3g icon and signal also good upto 4-5(6) bars but, speed is like 1x only. i don't why? in evdo settings "Automatic" is selected. so, i can findout which tower currently i am on thru "cellular network widget pro". most of the time am on 3g tower(rev. A) only. but i can't see any speed increase even a single time above 14-17KBps download speed. even if i change my place/town the same results without any change. anything am missing here or i've to do some tweaks or change any settings. plz, guide or help me to go in correct way for better 3g speed.

Arun 795 Report post Posted May 29, 2012 What is the ping time shown in Speed Test app for the nearest location? Try Kochi and Chennai as you are from Tirunelveli. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jd21 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 i tested with speedtest app many times, for ping, mostly kochi is selected, each and every time ping time is b/n 700+ - 990+. i didn't see a lower value than this. if i use 3g, my mobile gets hot too much. i can feel the heat near back cameras and upside. i didn't feel this much of hot even while playing hd games continuously. is it normal for every htc evo 3d or mine is faulty. plz, give some suggestions to overcome from these issues.

Arun 795 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 It looks like EVDO is not yet activated and you are connected to 1x itself. EVO 3D will show 3G even if you are connected to 1x if you have the EVDO PRL. Contact your handset seller to check the EVDO activation status. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jd21 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 evdo already activated, was confirmed by the seller and the CC also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arun 795 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 So check with the seller why it isn't connecting to EVDO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matriX1218 44 Report post Posted May 31, 2012 This may be matter of configuration only,,, May be its using 1x user password only and not switching to evdo... Ask your seller to re-configure your phone... It may help... I had the same kind of issue... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Proton 21 Report post Posted May 31, 2012 in my office the speed is slow on my Dinc Two AND my Sprint Evo View tablet. Dinc hunts between 3g and 1x, tablet shows constant 3g and IS faster. Both buffer youtube. At home, both have higher speed, sometimes running youtube without buffering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jd21 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2012 @all thanx for ur replies and experience with ur 3g speeds, onething i've to remember here, in epst settings if i select cdma only, i can see only the 1x icon. but, i get constant connection. if automatic is selected, icons switch b/n 1x and 3g. frequent disconnections in this mode sometimes i've to reconnect or switch b/n airplane mode to normal and then reconnect. i use this widget, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gdip.android.phonecenterpro&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImdkaXAuYW5kcm9pZC5waG9uZWNlbnRlcnBybyJd it shows currently in which tower we are connected to(1x/rev. 0/rev. A/unknown). most of the time i connected in 3g tower(rev. A) by referring the percentage. i contacted the seller abt the settings related, called the CC also and gave a complaint to solve my 3g connectivity issue.

amtrag 20 Report post Posted May 31, 2012 Pl post (or atleast tell) the speedtest result. The max speed that you are getting. SInce the network info is shown as 1x EVDO Rev A, it appears to be genuine EVDO and probably the problem is from network side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rahul Always 87 Report post Posted May 31, 2012 The presence of 3G icon does not necessarily indicate that you are on EVDO network. I too used to have the similar 3G icon on my Nexus S even before it had been configured. However, now that my settings have been configured, I find both 3G and 1X appearing depending on the available network. The ping speeds seem to suggest that your handset is not configured correctly yet. If the dealer is local, then maybe approach him and get the handset configured correctly else speak to him and ask him to configure the phone for you using maybe teamviewer.

dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) The Reliance network on EVDO is really going from BAD to WORSE. It is giving pathetic EVDO speeds in my city. Earlier I used to constantly get about 1MBps (even that is quite low) but now I never get more than 0.5Mbps at Meerut. Reliance should wake up and pay attention to their network otherwise loyal customers like us will very soon shift from them. A screenshot of the EVDO speed at Meerut on my S2 is attached - Comments please especially from Tier 2 city EVDO customers.

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 Here we don't have the speed issue but the network has become quite whimsical as it switches to 1X multiple times in a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arun 795 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 Tower must be VERY close to you? I got around 2.5 mbps too when I was in Mumbai hotel in Bandra and yes it was showing full signal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 I remember posting thread about EVDO speed long back, in ahmedabad it has been poor since - if not more about 2 years. There are very few locations where speed exceeds 1 Mbps. Most of the time it is 600-800 kbps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
