Mate 8 L29 with Tmobile in Bay Area, CA - Mate 8 General

Hi,
I decide to get Mate 8 to replace my good Note 3, I have Tmobile service in Bay Area, CA, do you think I made a right choice, will I get LTE speed or just 4G.
Please share if you have any experiences.
Thanks in advance.

I'm on Tmobile in LA, also upgraded from note 3. It shows 4g but I'm not complaining about the speed!

CCLDB, Thank you for sharing, is it fast enough for netflix, hulu, youtube ? Does 4G connection get dropped sometime ?
Thanks again for sharing.

LTE is a type of 4G. You're getting LTE speeds. I'm on At&t and getting LTE as well.

T-Mobile phones show LTE when it's LTE. Overseas phones show 4G when it's LTE. If it says 4G, you have LTE.

Do see this for more issues clearance.

Never had a problem dropping the connection. YouTube has no problem on 1080, I don't use the other two.
Only problem with YouTube is I can't seem to redirect a video from web browser to be played by the YouTube app.

thats right you are! keep being impressed. last year i did a very extensive testing of all 4 major networks. i did the tests just like this in three different markets. elizabethtown kentucky=rural indianapolis=metro louisville kentucky=mid way
and in the 30 days i tested the carriers sprint destroyed the other. i never lost 1 call with sprint, i lost 6 with att. 4 with tmo. and 1 with verizon. data speeds, sprint beat them all with verizon in second. and data while traveling (75 mph on I 65) i had data 100% with sprint, i hit a dead spot with verizon and att and tmo i didnt have it 30% of the time.
but anyways i ended up choosing sprint again. no one comes close to them IMHO.
thats my rant. i cant wait to get some developing on with the evo when i get it.
In your case it worked well, but I live in San Diego in a quite popular area and sprint service is mediocre at my house and my wife's workplace. In fact, at her workplace it is terrible. At&t was much better

All Epic 4G users should install 4G MapViewer

This app is just like Google Maps but instead of traffic shows you 4G on a very detailed scale. It's based off reports from other people running the app and helped me find a location 4 blocks away that had reported 4G. I walked over and got 2Mbps down on the SpeedTest.net app.
I live in NYC and 4G is not official here yet so this was a great surprise.
Look for "4G MapViewer" on the Market and grab it! You might find a location nearby and it will help everyone else!

I was surprised to see 4G in a LARGE portion of Sacramento, CA!
Gonna try it out sometime....
thanks for sharing! checking it out now.

AT&T LTE getting closer to Sacramento!

It's been widely known that AT&T's LTE service didnt go further north than San Ramon or San Rafael for a while now, which is in the Bay Area. Well i'm in Davis, just 15-20min. outside of Sac and have LTE service! Hopefully this means Sac gets it soon cause its pretty damn fast!

HTC One Data Speeds

Just thought I would ask what kind of speeds others are getting on the DC-HSDPA data. I was amazed with regular download speeds of over 15Mbps but tested just today and got 26.2 Mbps down and 3.38Mbps up.
This is unbeleivable, who needs 4G.
This is on the 3 network by the way.

Wow that's good the best I have gotten is 14mbps down.

where are you ? London im guessing.
The best i have got like 5mbs on 3, but im on the outskirts of birmingham, need to go into city centre to see
Best I have got so far 24mb down and 3mb up on 3G with EE

German VF LTE, look @ signal strenght
one'ed....
i think he meant the bbc news APP is back ...because it was incompatible with the htc one at the beginning (sorry wrong thread )
From my understanding DC-HSDPA (DC=dual channel) requires you to have good reception from TWO base stations. So you need to be in a city centre or densely covered area. If you are on the outskirts of anywhere, you are likely only to get one strong connection. So far the highest I saw was 14Meg on Three, but I haven't been into London with the One yet.
LTE will be better because you only need a good connection with one base station to get those kinds of numbers.
So while it is true that DC-HSDPA gets very close to LTE...LTE will be more consistent once its widespread.
Wow I need to get one of those phones I'm on 3 and in London my one X only gets like 3mbps

Post your SpeedTest.net results - 3G/4G Only

I know this is completely subjective depending on where you live. Just recently my area went from 2G/Edge to HSPA+ (I have an unlocked R800at I am using on Tmobile in the US)
Anyways not too long ago Tmo finished refarming their 2G two AT&T compatible 3G. So now I am getting HSPA+ everywhere I go and its pretty consistent and nice.
So I decided why not make a thread and have people post their screenshots of ther speedtest results, thought it might be fun.

Hi there, I have run the test twice, one in one server and the other one in my home town server (Bilbao), here I let you the screenshots
Edit: I suppose that you don't understand Spanish, so here you have translated

This is fastest i could get, but it is a bit useless to me because where i have fast mobile net, i can use wifi, and where i can't use wifi, mobile internet is slooow (on edge)
I typically run the speedtest 3 times and screenshot each one. I run the tests back to back from the same spot.
Thank you for sharing. Anyone else like to share their results?
