DC-HSDPA on three in the UK - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the UK The three network has an "ultrafast" DC-HSDPA network. Anyone who has a Nexus 4 tried this as I will be getting a Nexus 4 tomorrow and giving my I9300 to my Girlfriend. Just wanted to know how big an improvement the data speeds are.

I'm meant to be in an ultrafast area, but throughout the day speeds vary (in the exact same spot) from 0.5Mbps to 15Mbps, so yeah, it's great when it gives good speeds.

I get 1-3Mb/s on three in Southampton .......

I usually get between 7-15mbps in hull
Though only half the city has decent reception. Thankfully it's the half that I live in
Other half I only get between 0-1mbps
You can tell your on DC because you will get h+ instead of just h

Wow sounds rather varied but thanks I live in London and the speeds aren't too bad most of the time.

Just to note, H+ is actually HSPA+, which isn't DC-HSDPA, your phone unfortunately won't tell you when you're using DC-HSDPA.

T-Mobile Using AT&T Frequencies?

I have a T-Mobile prepaid Droid 3 but it only does 1900 MHz 3G but the price is good. I haven't had issues so far. But I was wondering if I could find a way to get 3G here in Wichita KS? I know they are refarming certain markets and maybe does someone have a list of places?

I've been looking for a list of places getting the refarm as well.
No idea if NYC now gets 1900mhz 3g yet either.
I got T-Mobile on an unlocked LG thrill and I get 1 g speed and that's it. It works and is a very strong signal but 10 kbps download or so.
Southeast Louisiana.

Got edge now. Maybe it took the weekend to get it all registered. I can live with edge till I find a better network.

So I'm the one! OK so I will keep this thread updated. Tomorrow I use a coworkers boost card and see what short term results I get.

tmobile hspa is 3g. it should only be using h+ when data is moving in and out.
I know what he means. I was on sprint before, but prior to that tmo. Data would always stay connected as hspa+ I'd get low ping and great speeds. With nexus 4 it'd idle at 3g then switch to hspa+. Which sucks because it'd take good 2-3 seconds to switch and you'd notice the delay, and sometimes it'd drop out of hspa+ back down to 3g while you were using it.
Solution? I haven't found one, I moved to DC and here T-Mobile is way different. K never see my phone on 3g, it idles at hspa, 100% of the time...

It's been dropping all over in the springbranch area. I live in the Heights and it's still stable. Other side of 610 is no good right now I've noticed though.

"Best"?
If you don't care about LTE, download and flash the .48 baseband.

Otherwise follow this guide if you want to try LTE. (If it's available in your area)

It goes a little farther than that. Whether you want LTe or not. 48 is known to dropout alot. I get a better signal and faster data speeds with the older radios
