What market are you guys in? I saw the report that 4G LTE has rolled out to a few more cities today.

How has your battery life been since you activated LTE?

Nice LTE ping times…

Oh good, I was playing with ATT LTE earlier and was getting a constant 32-35Mbps so I wondered how Sprint compared. Those 12s in the previous posts worried me.

Not LTE speeds but nice 3G speeds here in Delaware on the FH05 modem

I have been testing along the 110/10 route from Pasadena to Santa Monica this last week, and things seem to be slowly ramping up.
The downloads have averaged around 6-9mbps and I've gotten as high as 31mbps. So quite a range, and the places it spikes are fairly consistent. So I suspect certain towers either have better backhauls than others, or have just been installed and troubleshooted a little longer - so they're more stable.
Either way, about 30% of that route has a very solid LTE connection on my Galaxy Nexus. Not great, but a nice start, and about a 100x improvement over the 3g speeds I have been seeing.

Portland
Just my $.02 worth,
Portland just got partial LTE 2weeks ago, though it comes in and out at my apartment in Beaverton. It's odd, ill have full bars of 4g, then it just disappears. Either way, I've not seen a speedtest.net test of over 5.5MB down from my sgs3

Sprint LTE speed - Boston area
Sprint LTE speeds in the Boston Area. Download does spike over 20Mbps, but usually stays in the 15Mbps range. Upload is consistently around 7Mbps. Battery life has been fine, I'd rather get less battery on LTE than not being able to stream music on 3g...

[Q] AT&T How do i tell if i'm on LTE or HSPA?

This is what my phone looks like when using data (i'm on at&t):

It just has a 4G logo, but i saw a video of someone else that had a 4G logo with LTE over it. Am i on lte? The closest lte city (on the at&t coverage map) is out of state for me, so i was unsure if i was on lte or not. The best speeds i've seen so far are 9500kbps down / 1200kbps up.
The reason i'm asking is because i think i found a way to disable lte and force hspa+ connection. I created a new APN and entered the details i found online. When i switch to this alternate APN, the 4G logo is the same, but my speeds are different (5000 kbps down instead of a consistent 9000+). When i switch back to the default APN my speed goes back up to 9000+.
Will using this alternate APN which yields slower data speed save battery for me?

That's HSPA, on your screen shot.

Thought so. Will using the other APN save battery then? since it yields slower speeds?

This is the logo you'll see if you're on AT&T's LTE

Dont think it will save anything as lte us still enabled.
I am not in an lte area and get good battery. From 1 to 2days depending on use and whether I turn off data at night.

Edit: now I see the lte. Must've just been due to inside my work building.

Incredibly slow 3G data; is Sprint throttling me?

So, for the majority of last month I recall having absolute **** speeds on 3G ranging from 20 to 70 Kbps occasionally reaching to something like 120Kbps. This is in my normal coverage area where I can often get from 1100 to 1800 Kbps. I had thought that I might be getting throttled since I used a total of like 14GB of 3G last month. The new billing cycle started today and I'm still getting the same horrid speeds. What gives? I've already reflashed my ROM and modem without any benefit. Anyone else know what could be going on?

Sprint is the problem. LOL I'm not sure have you tried contacting Sprint? I'm jelly that you can even achieve 1200kbps.

Hahahahahahaha I remember those days. Man that's how bad sprints service is. That's why I left them and went with Verizon.

Seriously? Who would stay with a carrier that would take 5 minutes just to load a picture? I'll be sure to call them later. For some reason that never crossed my mind.

I tried Sprint briefly years ago, sounds like they haven't improved much since then.

if not for the LTE in my area (san antonio) sprint would be unusable.

It sounds like 1X data speeds and not 3G, some of the stock roms display a 3G icon even when connected to 1X data. If you use the speedtest app
it will show a graph of the results, if the speed graph looks like it hits a ceiling around 100k,.it is probably connected to 1X data.
If you see multiple spikes in the graph well above 100k, it is probably a crappy connection/signal.

Same here. I'm on Virgin Mobile, but it's apart of Sprint too. It's been crappy for the past week.

I'm on Sprint. Get about 500 to 1000kbits on 3G in my area. I understand they're not great in all areas, but the price is good.

So. Uh. If that isn't the best speed test you've ever seen? I think Jellybro has the 1x indicator fix and the normal upload speeds seem to indicate I'm on 3G. Sprint dude just said to take it to a store. I guess I'll do that. Unless going back to complete stock might fox something. I'll try that next.

LTE in New York (Bronx)

It seems to only switch on in my house, ping is great, but the speeds are I'm guessing being worked on. First one should be LTE, second one H+, third just random speed tests. Even got a signal, however no data, on my Nexus 4.
What do you guys think?

I'm in the Mott Haven area.

I am picking up LTE in some random places every once in a while. Some subway statin on Q line (around 42-59th), attached is a screenshot from Prospect Park in Brookyn

Manhattan Subway platforms get LTE in a lot of stations, nothing on the ground. Queens and Brooklyn are mostly live. Getting constant solid connection in Astoria, Williamsburg, etc.
NYC is only 2x5Mhz market so we will see download speeds on par with HSPA+42, peaking around 30Mbps.
Later this year and next year, they'll repurpose MetroPCS spectrum, and we should be able to see twice the speeds of their current LTE. On par with Phoenix, DC, San Jose, San Francisco markets, etc..

All places in queens has LTE. Not Manhatten and Brooklyn.

It also seems to be working in most parts of queens, and a few spots in brooklyn. honestly, since HSPA is already so fast (i'm coming from sprint) i really didn't notice until i looked at my phone and noticed the icon had changed.

been getting it in Queens for a couple of weeks now, some areas the speed test are consistent, other areas it jumps all over the charts. also seeing it now in downtown bklyn(work), not as fast/consistent there. switching from Sprint to TMobile is still paying dividends!

LTE's running fine in Parkchester.

HSPA+ vs LTE

I've had nothing but terrible LTE reception in my area, despite T-Mobile's coverage map showing I'm in the area. So I decided to do a little test.
I woke up late at night and ran Speed Test on my phone to check my speed. I found that I got the best download speeds late at night when I had my S3, likely due to less traffic. Here are my results:
LTE: 3.80 Mbps Down, 1.31 Mbps Up
HSPA+: 12.69 Mbps Down, 1.7 Mbps Up
Crazy isn't it? Good thing I'm on Wifi almost everywhere I go otherwise that would drive me nuts. Results are even worse during the day.

I get pretty amazing LTE service in most parts of KC i usually get between 25-30Mbps down and about 15Mbps up or so. When I'm at home though my service is lousy with about 5Mbps down and 1Mbps up so for me it just depends where I'm at.

Before the Coverage map used to say because lte is still fairly new it's not a very good exactment on the coverage side or something on those lines. Anyway just because it says excellent or very strong doesn't mean LTE it just means it's a great coverage whether it be H or H+ or LTE. But it doesn't specify if that exact location is LTE. At my address it says excellent but it is only with H+ however.

So why don't you set it to only wcdma/gsm?
That's what I did cuz lte where I'm at is ridiculously slow.

Here in Augusta, i'm rarely on LTE, Usually if a get a good signal it's only 4G (HSPA+)
Even when i was on the (V word) network. My network in this area, with a tower 2 miles away i only got 15mbps dn and 5mbps up

HSPA+ is 12mps maybe on a good day.

I'm getting pretty crappy LTE signal too indoors, works fine outside but it worked in my office on my Note 1 as well as outside.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app

same thing here in MN. coverage area says "excellent" but lte is horribly inconsistent and unusable for anything that involves downloading. this applies whether i'm indoors or out, rural or high-density urban area. HSPA+ gives me a consistent 2meg download speed on the play store, and that applies to browser downloads as well, so until they get their QoS issues resolved, i willl likely keep it to WCDMA/GSM.
