I am sad because I am having data issues on 3g (there's no 4g yet for my area). At speedtest.net my download speed is around 0.14 and my upload speed is around 0.06. My signal strength is usually around -120 dBm!!!
I tried updating my PRL and profile but that did not help. I called Sprint and they told me to take it in to a Sprint store for them to look at. I dropped it off at 6 p.m. and they told me to come back around 6:45 p.m. and they should be done. When I returned the guy gave me my phone back and said "It checks out okay. It is getting 4 or 5 bars." I went out to my car and tried loading the speedtest.net page and, again, it was extremely slow. I went back in and asked the guy if he tried surfing out to the internet and he said no.
I showed him the screen for him to see that it was taking forever just to load the page. He asked if I had loaded any programs from the Market. (I knew where he was headed... Perhaps one of the programs I loaded was causing a problem.) I told him that he could do a factory reset if he thought that would help. He did but it did not help the data speeds. I ran the speedtest.net test to check the speeds and asked him to note it on the account. He had already turned off his computer (closing time is 7) but he told me one of the sales people could make a note on my account.
Since I'm reading some others are having problems, I'm hoping there will be an OTA real soon to fix it. I really like this phone and want to keep it.
I know not everyone is having problems so I wonder if it is a different build or why the differences.
