As the title states, any web browsing and market downloads are ridiculously slow. My browser's homepage is the mostly blank Google site, and it takes the device about 25 seconds just to load that site.
This device is a refurbished one which is only about 3 days old or so. When I first picked it up, I noticed issues downloading from the market, but I was made aware that the market was having some issues. Just to demonstrate what's going on, here's a case in point. Yesterday I downloaded the Flash 10.3 update. It took my phone just about 15 minutes to download the file. Curious to see if it WAS the network, I grabbed my sisters Shift and downloaded the same update. Her's was done and installed in less than 3 minutes. The phones were in the same room, signal strength was exactly the same. Several times throughout the day, I downloaded identical apps to both the devices, and each time hers would finish MUCH SOONER than mine. It took her phone about a minute to download a 5mb file, where my phone takes about 10 minutes. I was not in any location that I haven't been in before, and signal strength wasn't an issue for either phone. So I don't believe it's a network issue at all.
I have already wiped the device several times to eliminate the possibility of an app causing this issue, but this is not the case. Before I go running off to the Sprint store (again), are there any hidden settings that I don't know about? Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks in advance!
