Samsung's mobile data sucks

Ive owned several samsung models including the i9100,i777 and i9300.
Mobile data sucks compared to my 4s. Where i get 3g on iphone i get edge on s3.
The most annoying thing sometimes you have full signal, open a website and there is like a 15 second hang. Tried different modems, fast dormancy settings and nothing seems to work. Its very annoying tbh.

What the? I get the complete opposite! 4S on Vodafone UK along with most of the iPhones before it (3GS fared better) have given me some of the worst data and signal reliability I've ever experienced. Nokia's still the champ, though the S3's holding up well so far too.

I'm on Sprint so just expect horrible data a speeds

My wife and i also get this in the UK, on two different networks. I've only experienced this on the S3, not the Note, Tab or S2 though.
I hope for a fix soon.

Really strange since I experienced the opposite when I upgrade from S2 to S3. Used to get like 1-1.5 down and 0.1 up, now I get like 2+ down and .5 up.
For reference: 1010 HK
Rom: WanamLite v 1.4

My results may not be relevant being from Australia but I was getting about 4-5Mbs with my HTC sensation and coming to the S3 i'm averaging 5.5-7.5Mbs. Still not as great as my work colleagues Galaxy Nexus who almost always pulls 1Mbs more when doing a speed test at the same time.

I must agree with you, i had the same problem with my iPhone 4s and now i can use viber and Skype without wifi even at home where i was not able to do so on vodafone on my iPhone 4s even with full signal

Erm... 4-5Mbs is better than 1Mbs...

He says "1Mbit more" so it's 4+1 to 5+1 = 5-6 Mbit/s =)

Please verify if both mobile phones are connected to the same antenna.
The S3 is blazing fast (compared to iPhones), however I've had the same issue as you.
The reason was that my provider kept (and still keeps trying) to push APN settings with a stupid HTTP-proxy which is completely overloaded and half of the time breaks the connection anyway.
Just remove the proxy IP (if any) from the APN settings, verify it's gone and try again.
If you have an account to paid VPN, you can also try this as it should give the same accelerated speed.

Yeah carrier tries to push settings on this phone.
I find this very annoying, ehere can i check what you say?

Had this phone over a month and still haven't seen it switch from 4g.
As far as carriers go, you get what you pay for. Get a cheaper carrier, most likely you'll notice it.

My SGS3 got better reception than iPhone 4s had and on sgs3 i dont have and failed calls, which I cant say for iPhone 4s (same network provider). Also sgs3 got better Wlan reception.

Poor wifi download speed Note 3 compared to s4 (solved)

Ok. ..This is strange. Both my note 3 and my wife's s4 are connected to the same wifi (our home bt infinity), when doing speed tests my wife's s4 always get our maximum possible download speed of around 70 mbps, but my Note 3 gets random download speeds...Some scores as low as 10mbps.
I have checked the setting on my wife's s4 against those of my note 3 and they are identical.
I also ran same test with our ipad. It is also consistently getting the max possible speed.
Any idea why this is happening?
All 3 devices are connected to the 5ghz and have full wifi signal connection, but my Note just won't stay consistent or get anywhere close to our maximum 70mbps.
Just to note that I am not rooted. The device is stock and I have tried a full factory reset which has had no effect.
I have also tested my Notes 4g which get consistent download speed every time of about 30mbps.
Any ideas guys?
Solved! : Go to location settings and change from power saving to high accuracy. My Note is top dog again.

So why do all my other devices show the same result but my Note was getting low speed? I really don't know why the location setting would have an effect on the download speed...but it does seem to. I got the idea to check it from the nexus 4 forum where they were reporting a bug in kit kat regarding said setting.

Since i updated my Note 3 from 4.3 to 4.4.2 i have this isue with Oakla Speedtest.
I tried some other Speedtest (Apps and Online) and ALL(!!!) get me the right results that i had before.
Best methode to check your real speed is to download a big file and you will see....everything i okay.
In my case is Oakla Speedtest the only Problem...maybe a Bug in combination with KitKat and Note 3

Ok...I have tried with a couple of different test like you suggested. My Note 3 gets random low scores on all of them, very erratic, the s4 and ipad get consistent max speed scores. Then when I turn location setting from power saving to high accuracy the note 3 gives the same high speed scores as the other devices at first...but then after a while it becomes erratic again. This is really pissing me off!

Big Sh*t :-\
You can try to switch off the Wi-Fi saving mode.
-Type *#0011# to go in Service Mode.
-Push Menu and then WI-FI
-Switch Off Wi-Fi Saving Mode
Try again.

Slow LTE speeds coming from note 3

I've been using my Z2 for about 3 days now and I'm having Hella slow speeds. Coming from T-Mobile note 3 I've been suffering on my LTE speeds. I used to get 20-30 MBPS and now down to 2-3mbps I'm positive I got the correct apn settings and just talked to att customer service to make sure they got correct provisions on my plan.
Here's my speed test and apn settings. Anything I should change on my APN? Thanks in advance

While I admit that those are incredibly slow, T-Mobile is known to have the fastest LTE speeds out of the other carriers. However, I'm not familiar with at&t's speed so I wouldn't be able to tell you if those speeds are normal or not.

Few things:
1. AT&T LTE can be very slow at times. I'm currently getting 1.5 mbps at home (it's much better in other places). I also tried an AT&T HOX and got the same speed. So that tells it's just AT&T's network issue in my area. You could try to compare yours to an AT&T phone in your area.
2. You said you switched from Tmobile to AT&T. Did you set up your ATT account with an ATT LTE phone? In the past, some users had to set up their a/c with AT&T phones IMEI initially to get proper LTE speed.

I compared it with my friends S4 on att and he's getting 20 MBPS. He also has full bar compared to mine only has 2. I know att cheats on bars with their rom.
Sorry what I meant was I came from a unlocked Note 3 T-Mobile device. And was getting 20-30 MBPS. Is there something wrong with my APN?

I see. The only difference I can see is I have APN type as 'not set' - not sure if it's gonna make any difference. Why don't you just copy the APN from your friend's phone?

Don't judge by what I'm saying, but I believe the radio on the Z2 still not optimized properly, because I do have Nexus 5 and I will get more signal on that compare to Z2 and most of time Nexus is on LTE and Z2 some time you can see it's on H+ ( I do have T-Mobile )

Cool - my Z2 shows the same APN info. My last speedtest was ~ 12 up / 10 down, but that's to be expected where I live some days. So the phone will always show '4G' instead of 'LTE'?

Hi,
I'm on T-Mo and my phone shows always 4G but with a really bad reception (1-2 bars) DL averages 10MB and UP around 4MB, I've been testing the signals with Open Signal and LTE Discovery apps and found out that there is just a "fair" coverage where I live and the places I go most, I guess I will get better speeds if I'm on a big city.
However if I disable the 4G from the quick settings, I will get full bars of H+ but no faster speeds that I would get when it locks to LTE.
Open Signal has a built in speed test and it tells you what connection you have (H+, 4G LTE), check it out.

APN setting
you can go to Internet setting then download it for APN settingView attachment 2745857

Everything works fine now. What I did was put my Sim on my friends AT&T Samsung S4 logged in to my att account and waited until the system recognized I was using a S4 then pooped my Sim backed to my Z2 rebooted the phone and for some weird reason my LTE speeds are back the UT was before

I don't understand why you get so slow speeds on 4G. I live in Romania where they just started a year or so ago to deploy 4G all around the country. The city I live in is a small mountain resort and I get about 2 bars of 4G reception. On the test I did yesterday I got 70 Mb/s down and 30 Mb/s up, much better than my home connection. On a Nexus 5 that I played with in a carrier shop I got 150 Mb/s down and 30 Mb/s up (it was in a bigger city with better reception).

T-Mobile bad reception and network speeds, anyone else post here

I just received 2 of my Note 4's yesterday for my family plan. Both of us can confirm spotty service and slow download speeds to the point that many apps were saying check your internet connection. I was using the Note 3 in the exact same locations yesterday and had no issues. Anyone else noticing this? Maybe a software update is needed
I have not received (and will not now that it's rooted) the new Samsung update and I don't believe T-Mobile has rolled anything out yet. The phone is spectacular though.....it sounds crazy but I can actually see a difference in the Note 4 and Note 3 screens. The 4 is easier on my eyes. Sorry to get off topic!

The first few hours I was experiencing slow download speed from the Playstore so I decided to download everything via wifi left it there charging came back did a few test and it seems back to normal speed.
About the screen is not much of a difference in my opinion but there is a difference especially when reading online.

NOTE 4

I'm opposite from you guys. My new note 4 has better reception and faster internet than my note 3.

Oh man, hope it's not the case with my note 4. My s5 gets the best reception I've had with any phone but I want a bigger screen. Should find out tomorrow.

Someone said there was an update already out for the new note 4. I saw it a couple threads back

I am crossing my fingers for all of you guys!

First 4-5 hours after setting up while it was syncing, d/l everything, configuring the new sim, etc, the whole works was a bit slow, but the 2nd day, it's been much better than my note 3. I'm happy so far.

Getting better Wifi and LTE speeds then my S5 and OnePlus One. Getting better SD card trasfer speeds too.

Are you guys using the new micro sim card that came with the phone

I am. Figured they included it for a reason. I probably don't know any better.

Home WiFi AC @5ghz is consistent with my prior speeds with the note3.
4G LTE speeds also consistent with my area coverage. Fastest 2 were done outdoors while the other 2 were done indoors.
Apparently no problems here with WiFi and LTE. I'm using the new sim card that came in the box and did nothing with apn settings.

I'm getting better signal, but very slow data speeds! Worst than my non-lte s3.

I can also confirm that Atlanta is having serious lte issues. I drove for 10 miles without lte in areas that just days ago were were blazing with lte. Talked to tmobile, and it seems like it got significantly worse. Looks like magenta may be regressing.

WiFi Performance Issues

I am beginning to wonder if this is a problem with the Snapdragon 820 chipset. My and my wife's Note 7s exhibited the same behavior. Now, our v20s are doing it as well. Here is the problem:
This is my speed immediately after rebooting my phone. The same applies to hers. This is the service I have. It is the speed I get on my desktop, laptop, my daughter's GS5, and I used to get on my old note 4.

}
After the v20 has been connected for a few minutes, and until reboot, THIS is the speed I get:
Both of these were ran from the same position relative to my router.
The Note 7, which my wife and I both had two of before getting the v20, shares the same chipset and did the exact same thing. A few things of note: I did have a Netgear R6400 AC router until a couple of weeks ago. It was a great router and always delivered my full speed to my devices, except the Note 7 and v20. I recently upgraded my router to a Netgear Nighthawk x10.
https://www.netgear.com/landings/ad7200/?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
I did this partially to rule out an issue with the R6400, and because my parents needed a new router so this gave me an excuse with my wife to spend 500 bucks on the router I wanted. The point is, the issue is not the router. This behavior only occurs in our v20s. One would think that the newest flagship phone would play nicely with a new flagship router.
Why do I get full speed only for about 3 minutes after a reboot? Could it be a problem with the congestion algorithm? This has been driving me nuts since we "upgraded" from our Note 4s to the 7s back in August. Does anyone else have similar issues?

LOTS of variables to deal with here man. To demonstrate, what was packet loss, software version, time of day, isp, etc. These are just a few of the standard ones. Claiming poor wifi performance on the 820 with only 2 spedtest charts gives us next to no info on your problem.

Packet loss is 0% both instances. Software version: Android 7.0, I figured that since this is a v20 forum, that went without saying. Time of day - is on the screenshots. ISP = TWC, 300/20. If you read my post, you'll see I can duplicate this behavior all day every day, on two separate devices: my v20, and my wife's v20. Same behavior on the note 7s we had. Our note 4s which we had prior to the note 7s got great speed all the time. My desktop, laptop, daughter's Galaxy s5, my buddies Galaxy Note 5, ALL get excellent speed all the time.

You cant compare what a desktop and a laptop gets to your phone speeds. Ever think its speed test app itself? I had a note 7 and the v20. When I connected to my works Wi-Fi and run speedtests they was virtually the same. It could be your provider having issues. How many devices are connected to your router when testing the speeds. You do know those tests are suppose to be taken with a grain of salt. Go to a public Wi-Fi spot like McDonald's and test the speeds on the v20 and note 7. I doubt there's anything wrong with the phones.
Dude if you get 110 mbps on your phone then that's more than enough and trying to get the full 330 mbps is just overkill lol
Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

Same readings when data connection is off, and only wifi is enabled on the v20? And yes there are already different software updates even though they're claiming only security fixes...

I've noticed some weird WiFi performance as well. Specifically a delay in initial connections. If I load a web page it takes a second or two to actually begin loading. I can't say for sure it's the phone yet, though. It may be my router. However I do feel like the WiFi is snappier after initial boot of phone compared to later on. I'll try and post some tests myself.

You cant compare what a desktop and a laptop gets to your phone speeds. Ever think its speed test app itself? I had a note 7 and the v20. When I connected to my works Wi-Fi and run speedtests they was virtually the same. It could be your provider having issues. How many devices are connected to your router when testing the speeds. You do know those tests are suppose to be taken with a grain of salt. Go to a public Wi-Fi spot like McDonald's and test the speeds on the v20 and note 7. I doubt there's anything wrong with the phones.
Dude if you get 110 mbps on your phone then that's more than enough and trying to get the full 330 mbps is just overkill lol

I absolutely can compare desktop, laptop, and phone - I just did. Did you even read my OP? Both of those speed tests ARE from my v20. If an over 2 year old device (note 4) gets better, faster wifi than a 2 month old device, something is wrong. The same number of devices are connected in the first test as in the 2nd. Furthermore, my router is Netgears newest flagship, connectivity is a non issue. None of this explains why, for the first couple of minutes after reboot I get the speeds I expect, then after a few minutes, I get what is shown in the 2nd result until I reboot again. 4 devices exhibited this behavior, the only thing they have in common is the chipset. It is not an issue with my provider, as I can immediately get full speed on any device in my home that is NOT a v20. As far as your assertion that these tests should be taken with a grain of salt: they are consistent. Not only the Speedtest app, but other ones as well. If I can reproduce the results without fail across several devices and multiple apps, to me that is a pretty strong indicator that something is off.
Lastly, if 300 mb/s is overkill, then why is gigabit Internet even a thing? These devices are (supposed to be) capable of making use of today's higher speeds.

yeah I've got some issues too. upon reboot it's definitely faster.

This is an absolute issue. I have both my Note 7 and V20 (just bought it to replace my Note) hooked up to my Gigabit internet. WiFi drops like a sack of potatoes after a restart on the LG. My note is still crusing along. Wtf

I actually made a post about this on reddit and many, many, people are saying the same thing...

you guys are lucky... never passed 30/20 on my LGV10 and it looks to be the same with the LGV20 for me... definitely should be capable of 300/30 here.
