Ya but I never added that to my Galaxy Nexus lol. I've never touched my APN settings on this. Only on my G2.
what area are you in? Tmo will offer in house booster kits, I got mine for free and I'm in area that has pretty decent coverage!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I live in indiana, close to cincinnati. I get coverage at home but only 2g. I work in cincinnati and coverage is good there, 4g in most areas 3g in others. Its the best monthly rate i can find ($30/mo for unlimited text, 5gb data and 100 min) but not sure if it's worth having a top of the line phone stick on a 2g network most of the time. Now im on cincinnati bell, it's pretty good. I'll try tmobile out a month before i cancel, see if the saved money is worth the decreased coverage

I wouldn't mind only having 2G at home as whenever I'm there I have WiFi. As long as I have 3G out of the house that's what matters.
Of course its always a cost/benefit analysis. I'm also on the $30 T-Mobile plan and it saves a ton of $$.

I'm curious to know what speeds are like on roaming also, I could prob do it and not get terminated with Sprint cuz I dont use a lot of data. Although I'm getting about 2 megs down anyway, so not to bad.
I wish I could get those 4G speeds! they don't have it around me, it's in like one city in michigan right now smh.

Congrats! So jealous. I'm surprised that Tmo didn't at least give you a month or so of free service. If you can get the phone unlocked, it can be used on AT&T's HSPA+ network. The one thing I liked about the Tmo variant was the additional HSPA+ 1900 MHz band, which is what AT&T uses, so it is the most universal GSM/HSPA+ S3 model! You will get HSPA+ on Tmo, Wind, Rogers, and AT&T (as well as overseas).
Only got the AT&T version because my company pays for the phone and service, so I can't complain either.

Hey y'all I just upgraded today and decided to give the nexus a shot. I've upgraded to 4.0.4 and it is not rooted. The download speeds in the play market are abysmal. It literally took almost 5 minutes to download touchdown. Anyone know how to fix this? Im downloading over 3g. I don't have wifi at home. Internet speeds are fine in all other apps. Speed test gives download speed of 1.47mbps and upload of 0.7.

OP what network? Those speed test results make sense when you say its slow... it takes a long time to download on 1.4mbps down lol. Since you say "upgraded" I'm assuming you're on Verizon or Sprint? Those speeds are definitely about normal on EVDO.

That's still pretty slow. And that's much much much faster than most people are getting on Sprint nowadays.

Amazon (HQ in Seattle) just announced Kindle Fire 4G LTE so I'm sure that provided some impetus for at&t.
att is sooooooo far behind with their LTE deployment. I am in Milwaukee, VZW T-Mobile, and heck, even US Cell have LTE coverage here, not at&t.
yikes.
at&t advertises HSPA+ as 4G. What a crock.

You want to know what is sad? Anchorage, AK where I live got LTE before Seattle. I thought there's no way in hell we'd get it this fast. Of course it is some gimped LTE. Only get 18 down and 9 up on off peak hours. I usually get around 8 and 8 during the day.

In the Dimond area I am getting consistent 20-35 down and 11 up.
Edit: I was surprised when I saw 4G pop up. Tested my speed, BAM.
Alaska with LTE, hah.
Thankfully, Portland is supposed to get it too around the same time as Seattle.
About time! Seriously, I believe Verizon has it almost all the way up and down the I-5 corridor.
AT&T + Portland is just awful, though. My friend with T-Mobile gets lightning fast 4G (AWS) all over town (although with some of the usual T-Mobile signal issues) and as soon as I get to downtown Portland it gets so congested that I can't even use my data without it feeling like Dial-Up. Can't wait for them to get off their lazy butt and deploy this stuff. Their HSPA+ network is too damn congested all the time. Stinkin' iPhones hoggin' all the towers

My Epic 4g gets pretty good 4g wimax reception around Atlanta. But the 3g is the suck in my neighborhood.
I'm deciding against Sprint and Verizon sgs3. I've read enough complaint articles and blog posts (from the summer) about Sprint's lack of LTE that has me concerned about reupping with them.
Thoughts?
Thanks
