[Q] How's your 4G? Post your screenshots (rep your endz!)
Don't know if this has already been made a thread.
I'm sure we're all excited about HSPA+ 42, but what speeds are you getting in your area at the moment?
I live in SF - where all tech lives, but I still don't find the fastest speeds there (12 Mbps on avg). A multitude of factors exist.
However, Chicago's been the fastest for me... so far.

Screenshot of Speedtest.net from Lincoln Park, Chicago.

Range is all over in south orange county, ca

I tried to get my fastest on one screen. It was funny cause all the ones that said 8-9mb all said umts.

I'm pretty sure they are 4g speeds. The guy above you is 4g speeds which are quite impressive. There's a cell tower under "type" which means it's not the WiFi speed.
Mine have been around 8-9Mbps average with certain places getting me up to 13Mbps.

Yea, im dumb. I was looking at the status bars and not thinking the screens were from previous network tests. My bad

I had to go and look under each one, because I had two that were wifi but you wouldn't have been able to tell. My wifi speed tests were 20 and 18mb.

The speedtest results from my OP were all 4g, not wifi, just to clear up any confusion.

Speeds are so variating!
Speeds are so variating! Without regard, it still feels fast enough on the SGSII though!
First 3 are Chicago
Bottom 4 are San Francisco/Palo Alto

Depending on the server and time The higher the Ping the better, haha
Location : San Francisco
My Business class Cable Wifi for comparisons sake

Best result i have thus far was when i was in Houston this weekend
Most of the time i get 8-9 but i got 10 in austin once.

[Q] is anyone else experiencing slower 3g speeds on ek02?

Just updated OTA to ek02 and am experiencing slower 3g speeds... with and without the tweak. Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

For me with update, 3g is same, but 4g is almost double.

If they get any slower they'll stop completely (at least for me).

Sprint is so slow anyway that o havent noticed anything yet

I'm experiencing slower speeds and my 4G connectivity got even worse...even did a profile and prl update after the update and it didn't help.

Sprint's 3G is stupid slow. It's completely unusable around here. For example, the Android Market. Most things say they are "starting to download" then they never do.
I did a speed test and my ping was like 900~1100+ with a download speed of 7~13kbps and an upload speed of 50~100kbps or so.
Seriously, 7~13kbps download?
The only reason I put up with this crap is I'm almost NEVER away from wireless. I work in the technologies field with full gig-network access on almost all the campuses I'm at threw out the day and 105mbit at home.

Wow, that is really slow. I don't have it that bad lol. But with that ping and those speeds, it seems like something is uploading constantly. That's the only time I've ever seen speed tests like that for me, while i was uploading songs to Google music. That's interesting.
As for the speed test tho, i feel there is an issue with the actually test and specifically our 3g. The reason i say this is because the speed test will give me a result of 40-50kB/s, but then i will download a torrent at like 150kB/s.... all in the same area. Very weird.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Sprints download speed for me is around .12kbs to .45kbs in good reception areas... in the same areas ATT gets 3.5mbs and Verizon is very stable with good reception and stable internet that is around 1.5 mbs... so ATT is wicked fast 3g but the reception and internet are both hit and miss as far as coverage goes. Where as Verizon may not be the fastest internet, they are well within my personal tolerance and needs... and their coverage surpasses ATT by a long haul in my area... notice i haven't mentioned sprint? That's because my download speeds on average are (like previously stated) between 10kbs and 50kbs at most! 50kbs is the fastest I've ever gotten with the speestest.net app! Don't even get me started on call reception.... I've honestly had more dropped calls in a month and a half then I've had with every other company combined throughout my life. End rant

Disclaimer: This thread is primarily for all New York City residents with a Sprint Galaxy S3 but those with knowledgeable info should reply as well!
I'm trying to gather a little information in regards to mobile data speeds specifically within the NYC area. A few questions if you may kindly respond to get the discussion rolling.
What modem/baseband/radio are you currently using?
What rom are you currently using?
How are your data speeds while on mobile data with said modem/baseband/radio?
Have you flashed any scripts/tweaks or use any apps to assist with your mobile data speeds?
With regards to location, where do you use mobile data the most? (post one of the 5 boroughs)
Thank you in advance to all who respond! :victory:

1) LJ7
2) CM10 latest nightly
3) Terrible piece of ****. Doesn't matter what baseband I'm using its **** data in my area.
4) Tried a few over the years, non have worked. Maybe someone can recommend me something?
5) Staten Island
I will say there are some areas in S.I. that have good data speeds...just not mine. Every other carrier but Sprint has good data speeds in my area.

I believe putting speeds, instead of "****" would help make this survey more accurate in terms of logistics. Haha

1: Running LG8
2: Blazer Rom think its 1.9, not Jelly Bean yet, still ICS
3: Just ran a test, 1.54Mbps Down, .88 up
4: Whatever is built into the rom, dont think there are any
5: I work in Queens, around Flushing is where I just did this test. I use data mostly in Manhattan when going in for meetings but have not checked my Manhattan speeds in a while. Heading home to Long Island, it sucks, get a lot of 1x areas

LJ7 Leak Modem/Baseband/Radio
LJ7 Leaked ROM
Can easily pull down well over 2 Mb/s in downtown Manhattan (Battery Park) late at night, and around 1.7 Mb/s average. Can also pull down around 2 Mb/s in Nassau county, LI on average. Where I live in Queens, 400 Kb/s average.
No tweaks or scripts of any kind. Personally don't believe they work.
I travel from Queens to Manhattan at least once a week, and have noticed that speeds in NYC seem to depend on network load. I generally get much better speeds late at night.

I've been getting a good 1-3mbps on 3g
I took this one just now

Damn. I'll be up around 125th next week, I hope I can test this out. I spend some time around Battery Park pretty regularly, but no LTE down there yet. I would think it would make more sense to activate downtown Manhattan first.

I'm glad to see fellow NYers posting up and hyped that some of you guys are getting 4G connection! That's a clear indication that Sprint is already rolling out 4G in NYC and I can't wait till the majority of the city is covered.
I personally haven't seen a 4G connection on mine but I'll definitely be on the lookout now. For the posters who did get 4G, please continue to tell us where else you're catching 4G data! :good:

hoping we get some LTE love in brooklyn too, live in bk and working manhattan.....just ordered my gs3 today, coming from the epic touch

First of all, everyone's network speeds will vary by carrier and location.
Are you talking about wireless internet?
Are you on 3G or LTE?
What are you using to get your speed results?
My speeds could be great, and I walk two feet over and its horrible. My phone will hop to a different cell tower. Or while I'm at home I could be in a dead zone so my wireless will drop out. You need to be much much much more specific then what your telling us.
The chances of another fellow xda member using the same cell tower or your wireless router is slim to none. Just so your aware. Could be a problem with your carrier as well

ROM isn't the problem.
Try a different server in the Speedtest app. Here in Los Angeles, I get crappy speeds off all the local test servers, so I manually pick something like San Jose or Las Vegas and get a much more accurate speed measurement (read higher).

It's relatively all the same speeds no matter the server. Take a look.

I'm running the same ROM and kernel with no problems. This is what you need to be checking for under your status. The higher the number, the lower the speeds. Also remember H+ is 4G, not H.

Yeah, technically, we all know the truth but you exactly know what I'm talking about. Don't you? =)

You may consider changing your hsxpa and hsdpa settings in build.prop .. since your RSSI is ~ -60 already.. you clearly dont have a reception issue.
For Tmo [on the WC] hsxpa @ 3 and hsdpa @ 6 gives me the most bandwidth.. lowest ping and fastest upload results.

Are you having the same issue everywhere or just by your house? There could be an issue with the cell tower itself. Something similar happened to me in 05- I had full signal but could not place or receive calls or get any data whatsoever on any of my phones. If I drove across town & connected to another tower, I had no issues. T-Mobile actually sent a rep out to my house to observe the problem & they had to come fix the tower by my house.
