Hey fellow S3 users just a recommendation about data speeds. I was having pretty slow speeds on 3g at home so I decided to Do some changes. I went to settings/mobile networks/network mode and select the cdma, lte, evdo setting and it will restart on its own to change settings. After doing that change it appears that my Internet became faster. I know it's not scientific fail proof test but it's worth a try.

In Evanston, IL 3g seems to be more than usable finally (I may even describe it as speedy) ...but not LTE quite yet - at least in the closest tower to me

I don't have screen shots but I pulled 2.23mbps down and .9 up the other night then it switches back to the crappie tower and it's 400 or less down and .9 up, progress from the 22kbps I sometimes see.

I get the same speeds now as well.

Will modem make difference in 4G speed?
Assuming there a modem out later
This is what I get in morristown NJ. Unlimited data plan...

Make sure they actually have your upgraded plan in the system and your not being throttled. I've had that happen before. Good luck!

Idk but I havent noticed anything for 4g related..like no toggle settings .. when im out I get 3g ...is the note 2 4g capable?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Its an LTE device but if you dont LTE coverage in your area you will remain on 3G until sprint activates it in your area. *you may have 4G in your area but LTE is different

I noticed that too, however after looking around it sounds Like a lot of new phones are set up to automatically detect and connect to 4g. If it doesn't connect it may not be in your area yet. If you want to try to force it go into settings and uncheck and then check connections optimizer. That will force a scan of available networks.

My Evo 4G LTE has an option under mobile data to set it to CDMA or CDMA/LTE. My girlfriend has a GS3 an doesn't get 4G in places where I do. I didn't see where to cycle between CDMA only and CDMA/LTE on her GS3. May be an obvious answer, but we just got together so I haven't played with her phone much and didn't see where to make this change. Thanks for any help!

Oh by the way, her phone is stock unrooted and running 4.1.2. I haven't done anything with it just yet

Thank you VERY MUCH! I have no idea how I overlooked that! Just a different set up than my phones, but that shouldn't have mattered because I play around with many different phones. I was just being a noob, lol. Alright, nothing more to see here folks, let's move along and pretend this never happened! Lol

Go to a free wifi place and test it out.
If its the same its your phone.
Please when you ask questions like this
Post them in q&a
Also its easier to help you when we know what rom your on, are you rooted,
Etc etc.

I don't know how fast your wifi is supposed to be, but 9 down and 2 up is plenty for YouTube videos. Assuming you have an AT&T data plan, the easiest way to see if its the phone is by disabling wifi on your device and try playing the video over the data network. If it works, it's most likely some sort of bottle neck in your wifi at home. If that's the case then I would reboot your router and try again. If it doesn't work on either network, then there might be a problem with the phone worth checking out.
