Hey everyone, Im having this weird issue with my data speeds. When i had my TP2 i would always get speeds of about 700Kb/s dl/ul with pings of around 150ms
BUT on my MT4G my speeds are a little screwy 1st off is sometimes my pings are 650+ other times normal, Also my download speeds are getting 250-600Kb/s which is obviously slower than my TP2.
The weird thing is (besides slower with random ping times) my upload speeds. For a VERY quick second i will see a speed of 3+Mb/s then it will drop down to either around 700 or stay at exactly 1Mb/s...odd
i was thinking maybe the towers dont have the backhaul in place yet, but with a burst of 3+Mb im thinking there is something wrong because if it WASNT there i wouldnt even get that burst, or even get to 1Mb because before the 4g max i could get is 800Kb/s up and down.
I called tmobile and they want to do a master reset....psh please! to much hassle
What do you think could be the problem? i got a new sim card with the new phone so i couldnt be that.
Try having ur GPS on when running Speedtest. Also, make sure that you are connected to the closest server. I am getting 6Mbps in Miami.

GPS is on and ive tried all local servers but still getting this weird issue
Why does my phone show full signal yet all apps that use mobile data either run shockingly slow or not at all!! My steam app is constantly reconnecting yet signal is constant! In BBS it's showing i have good signal for a matter of minutes and is mostly showing poor or unknown signal nearly the whole time the phone is on!
My set up is the latest AOKP rom and faux's kernel

Could be you only have full bars of 2G data speed. You are either being throttled for excessive use from your carrier or your carrier only has 2G speeds where you live. Where I work the entire county only has 2G Edge speeds from AT&T even though their coverage map shows 3G for the area. Check your data type and speeds with an app like Network Signal info.

Happens to me a lot as well. I show full 4g and yet everything times out and wont load because data is so slow. I'm also in a good coverage area where i get 12-14 Mbps speed with other phones and when this one is acting normal.

The towers you are connecting to are probably overloaded. Thin of them as a wireless access point at your house with 1 internet line. If too many connect to and use that line, the connection gets slower. Would be nice if cell providers posted tower stats in your area. Would save a lot of angry calls

I think in my situation it is not this. My wife has an HTC one s and my brother a sgs2 and they will have great data speed while i have dead slow even though we are on the same carrier and in the same room.

Got the same problem
My pbone is acting wired showing full signal but no traffic gets through
Also sometimes the signal just greys out and i dont get any connection until switching flightmode and back
Im at aokp to... Maybe its relaxed to the rom
Im on Stock kernel

Happened to me on stock, cm, aokp, and now pa. I don't know what it is. I just hope an update will fix it.

Glad im not the only one suffering.. I didnt really have the problem on stock so much.. just since unlocking and flashing new roms.
To the person who mentioned carrier throttling, its certainly not that as one minute i'll get full speed and the next (youtube for example) will just stop and start saying no signal retry and then if i turn the phone off and back on again it will work. How can a carrier throttle you when you only have a 2Gb usage limit and then they charge you afterwards that makes no sense.
Also its not a 2G problem as Signal checker shows 3G and also now EE all around my area. Besides my wife's S3 on the same network is getting full speeds where im not or anything even though im apparently at full strength H
I hope this gets sorted soon as its also affecting calls.. I'll have what looks like full signal while playing a game then suddenly a text to say someone tried ringing me like 3 minutes before!!
probably switching from HSDPA to HSPA+.
did you notice a H on top of your signal bar, that switches to H+ when the lag is over?
I have had this problem for a long time, since I got my Galaxy Nexus and now again on my Nexus 4, and finally got so fed up that I have been testing it all day and getting screenshots ready to make my own post about this so I am pretty relieved to see this post!
I live in Philadelphia and use T-Mobile. I have had T-Mobile here for years and never had this problem before. When they upgraded to 3G I had amazing speed boosts and when they did HSPA+ it got even better but that was on a G1/G2. On my Nexus phones the internet is damn near unusable in center city but what is so odd about it is that in my Google searches about the problem I can only seem to find posts raving about T-Mobile in the city and how Philly keeps getting improvements including the new improved 1900Mhz HSPA+42 but I have never even seen my Nexus 4 on the +42 network the best it goes to is +15 and even that makes no difference because the internet is so slow and unrelaible that unless I am on Wifi, my phone just sits in my pocket useless.
I'm really at my wits end about this and no one, Google or T-Mobile seems to take responsibility or have any advice on how to fix it except the pointless factory reset.
I've seen a brief mention on XDA about a fast.tmobile.com APN and I changed to that and I'd like to imagine that it showed some type of improvements but certainly not with data speeds/latency/integrity of connection. If anything, it may have improved signal 'strength' (used lightly because regardless of what my strength is listed as the connection sucks.
To be clear, I am connected to HSPA and HSPA+ when the connection is being used, like it should, but these are the best speeds I managed to get throughout the day today as I moved around campus trying different spots.
Please, someone have advice!!
Could it be kennel related? Did you guys try just being on stock ROM?

I am using the stock kernel, stock radio although not the stock ROM. I am pretty sure I had this problem before I rooted (I say pretty sure to be conservative with my answer since I am not 100% sure but I am definitely 90%)
Is anyone confident about their knowledge regarding APN settings? I have seen like 15 different configurations for T-Mobile's APN and have no idea which one to try and would prefer not to just go through them one by one -- I've got things to do!

Again.. I'm pretty sure i didn't have this problem while on stock but i could be wrong. My GNex was exactly the same. And I'm on orange UK so completely different network to the T-Mobile USA so surely can't be random that we're both having the same problems

I had the same slowness over cellular, 9kbps or so. I changed APN's, rebooted and just got 2463kbps.

I'm on stock 4.2.1. Phone is rooted and boot loader unlocked. For about two days now I'm having signal drops from 4bars, then greyed out 4 bars and jumps between H to 3G. Settings for LTE revert to WCDMA every time I lose reception. Also dialer crashes/ force closes if I have an incoming call and sends all calls to voicemail. I can dial out but at the end of my calls when I go to hang up I see the popup that phone process crashed.
My carrier is Bell Canada and the phone worked fine for about 10 days before this started happening.
Any tips or advice to help me out is appreciated. Thanks.

Hey all, I have the Verizon Note 3 now on the straight talk network. I used their multi sim card kit. After speaking to the 30+th straight talk representative I got it online. With what I believe are all the proper settings. The Note worked fine for the first week or two, but now my speeds are less than a Megabit. I am having a hard time even streaming from my Google Music. It switches from H to H+ all the time, I don't know much about the hspa technology other than the small bit I've read online, but I thought it was supposed to be more advanced/better than 4g. Is it just less supported? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, let me know what info is needed.
Also I'm curious how system updates should work, or if there are any radio updates. Please share any knowledge with this note noob.
I used to be on straight talk and I can tell you, even though they advertise unlimited data, it's really not. After you reach a two gig threshold they throttle you down. That may be what's happened to you. Although they usually send a text or email first.
They've changed it to 3GB.After 3GB, your speed is throttled but its still unlimited.. text 611611 and type USAGE it tells you how much data you've used. .

I believe I have to be using the tmobile because I'm on hspda? Isn't that supposed to me the more advanced tech? I can't deal with these speeds now though, I don't have wifi in or around my house. If I am to switch to the at&t sim, what settings do I need to change?
I'm noticing very slow data speeds on Verizon network, probably slower than my gs4. Have unlimited data.
I see there have been a couple others posts on this, some suggesting a DNS issue? Either way, I'm wondering how many of uare having this issue? Am considering returning or exchanging the Phone. It's driving me crazy.
Of course, any fix would be even more appreciated!!

It is not the device, since have the same issues with the Note 4.
it's verizon and their crap service. I'm lucky if my lte can pull more than 3mbps most of the time and I get great service. it's just their "world class network" is garbage.

I've contacted VZW about this and they put my off by saying that my phone was unsupported. They always have to make everything so difficult...

I have about half of what I used to have speed wise with my Turbo. At home I would get about 40ish down (50 on good days) now I get about half. I did start an exchange rma and I am waiting for the new device. I have a feeling it will be the same though. I find wifi does the same thing though.
If I go into an area with XLTE (band 4), I can easily get download speeds greater than 50Mbps
I've been noticing the same thing lately. I live and work in the middle of Houston. Today I had full bars of lte and was getting .1 mbps up and down. Others with me were getting the same and there was a mix of iphones and Android. Those with T-Mobile were getting much faster speeds... I don't think it is the device. I've just noticed a worse network lately

hahaha verizon is great! gotta love their AMAZING BLAZING FAST NETWORK. I get speeds like this way too often. it's ridiculous.

More people using Verizon than T-Mobile so it only stands to reason that the T-Mobile pipe has more room to flow data to its users. Maybe if more jump ship from Verizon (like they say they will) then us Verizon users will get faster and all the others will slow down. Can't win!
I have been using Straight Talk on Verizon's towers for well over two years now and I have had something odd happen. For the last few months anyway I have been keeping an eye on my data speed and it has always been very fast. Just within the last couple of days my download speed has dropped to around 5 Mbps. This is no problem for browsing, Facebook, email, etc., but now when I try to download a larger file it takes forever. I downloaded the new PN ROM today which is less than 300 megs and it took almost an hour. Before it would only take 20 minutes or so for a file that size.
I have contacted Straight Talk and they say I am provisioned like I should be, and there are no tower problems in my area. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

They are capped on the Verizon side at 5mbps. Att on the other hand is not. Something about tower owning or something. But yeah, what you're seeing is correct. That's why I switched to the att sim.

At work, which is usually 1 bar less than full I get around 14-15 down 12 up. I'll take a speed test tomorrow if I remember. At home I have 1 bar, with the Verizon sim I have 0.
Did a quick speed test with the 1 bar LTE. Not really sure what is up with the upload speed. Ping seems a bit high but I'd say not bad for 0 to 1 bar.
Switch to Verizon prepaid. Get the Walmart plan 50 bucks for 5gbs of LTE data with throttled speeds after that. Carry over data, and best thing uncapped data speeds
