NO SPEED INCREASE WITH 1.4 PRI UPDATE

[japclev]

finally after 7 hours of work, got my PRI updated to 1.4 and got all my original stuff back and I am updated to the tilt with all current version of everything.

I just finished my speed tests and have found that this 1.4 PRI update has done nothing to increase my 3g speed.

Backstory:

My speed at work dropped from 1mb in June to 125kb (looks like it is capped) two weeks ago. I have done everything in my power to fix it. Nothing has worked and Sprint is not saying anything.

See my previous post on my speed drop.

Hope this saves someone time and effort.

Are you running the stock Kernel?

 

[japclev]

No...I think Netarchy 4 OC to 1.15?

I noticed when I flashed netarchy 4.0.2 kernel my 3g speeds went to crap. I flashed back to the stock kernel and 3g speeds when back up.

i could be wrong, but having the newest pri would only help some if you are in low coverage area, from what i saw last on xda no one had a true understanding of what the pri completely does

yeah, i'll second that. i finally was able to get my PRI updated and my speeds still suck. i'm on the stock kernal. i'm lucky if i get 200k down. which is pretty messed up because my buddy can be standing right next to me with his original Droid and he get's like 1.2meg down. i like being on Sprint and i definately love this phone, but damn, 200k down

I actually get double 4g download speed (via speedtest results) with the 1.34 PRI. I tried 10 times to get 1.40 (##code# methods), but I think I'm staying on this one.
