Since no LTE in the Los Angeles / San bernardino counties, which radio is everyone using?
I'm on a stock 7/10 rooted rom running LG2 and my speeds are crap, reception isn't great either.
Does the rom/radio combo matter THAT much?

I am also in LA, and from what I have experience. At the moment Sprint data sucks here no matter what modem/prl is used.

haha. well you would think that when LTE rolls out, everything will be fine.
Hi guys. I'm also in Los Angeles (west side) and I actually did some testing with the radios. I flashed the LG2 and LI3 radios and did speedtests on them as well as with the stock LG8 radio my phone came with.
These are the results with the LG2

I'm like three miles away from downtown, these speeds being on the LI3 modem

Wow, that sucks. I'm going to use the LI3 for a few days and see how it works around town. Btw, I have an Airave in my apartment if that means anything.

I have the same problem, but I am on new york, my reception inside doors is awful, does anyone recommends a radio or modem (whatever) that will work better on the new york city area?
thanks.
On a slightly related note, I'm getting TERRIBLE pings and speeds from speedtest...I'm in Ventura, 60 miles north of LA. Used to see LA servers in speedtest, but now the nearest one is over 1000km away. Is anyone else experiencing this? Trying to get some solid tests done before I switch modems for comparisons.

Ditto, I live in Ohio and my last speed check on 4G was almost 20 mbs down/15 mbs up.
In Fort Myers I've had less than desirable 4G speeds.

Good luck with that... Maybe they'll stop spending money on socialistic values and give you good folks technology.

3G & 4G results. I'm just south of West Palm Beach. It seems pretty consistent in this area. I've had it for about 2 weeks now, so far so good.

I am vacationing with family in York county in VA and just did a test. I got 5268kbps down and 811kbps up. No where near as good as my speed in Ohio but better than what I saw on your results. You would think that in a metropolitan area like yours it would be faster... meh.

Yes and he was too kind to you.
I've always been curious how much 4G speeds vary from place to place. I travel a lot for work, but lets face it, Sprint coverage maps are pretty much a best case scenario or an Opium induced fantasy at best. Post your 4G speeds with a screen shot, (pics or it didn't happen), please no flaming. If you don't have 4G in your area, please don't troll! Hopefully Sprint will get you covered when lte rolls out.
Real simple, get speedtest.net. Check your 4g speeds.
Take at least 3 tests to show average.
Post results.
Independence, Missouri

4g? What's that?
Ha, ain't got 4g here.
Speeds vary. If I take them in the morning i get 9mbps and at night. In the afternoon 4g is kinda bad

+1 Seams as though network traffic is definitely lower at night. Varies by tower as well. Just a few miles up the road in Kansas City, I can get upwards of 10M with a weaker signal then I have at home.

never really use 4g unless i need to tether really badly. I usually stick to non 4g roms
just decided to test out my normal data speeds when home and not using wifi and im shocked to find out im only getting in the 20-40 kb/s a second download while the upload is a normal 1500-2000 kb/s most of the time. my internet/play store/etc were working fine while i was at work yesterday over the tmobile network, not sure of exact speeds though. i cant remember the last time i used the mobile network at my house and not wifi so i cant tell if its my house as a problem or just some flukey network problem but ive been trying to find everything that would cause this with no luck so far. any ideas?
Are you rooted and do you have your IMEI? What's your signal strength? Go to settings / about phone/ status and signal
I personally average between 73-85dBm and I gt good speeds

yes i am rooter but i still have my imei, i was just out for a bit and did a speedtest near the store and it came out decent enough. just got back home and getting around 7.2 mb/s down and 1.4 up with a 340 ping, not great but workable. im guessing it was just on tmobiles end, and a coincidence it worked itself just in time for me to test it again out of the house thanks for the help!

Nice speeds. But you should post them in the LTE sticky thread. This one will probably get locked.

Just a few tests over the weekend while on the highway between North Central Illinois and Indiana.
Overall pretty good, but a few really good spikes... 34.9 Down is nice
Damn you people with 4g

In NYC? Really? They're rolling it out there right now. There's good coverage in the Bronx according to Sensorly, and there is progress in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Unless you can somehow get a hold of an S4 in the next 3 or 4 months, I doubt you'll have the S4 before LTE.
I'm in the Bronx and I would say about 80% of the time I can pull LTE

Hey, I don't get it where I am normally... (Home nor work) which is really depressing... EVERYWHERE else that I go that is slightly outside of the norm though it seems to be 4G heaven...
I live on the outskirts of Marengo, IL and looking at the 4G coverage map is really depressing... we're like... in between rockford and elgin, which... both have 4G and it reaches JUST to us... but drops out between... how aggravating.
It was silly, I went down to my Aunt's in Indiana for Xmas and got 4G like the WHOLE trip between my house and her house... At my house... 3G/1X... At her house... Barely able to maintain a 1X Data connection at all, I just shut it off... Literally a mile away from her house... back in 4G land... like... wtf! Same thing with my parents house in Plainfield... The ENTIRE way down there... 4G... her house? Barely getting 3G... Sprint just hates me and my family. Lol.
They have told me that they are working on the towers near my house though, so that's a plus, and on top of that the CS rep told me that they put a mark on my account that when it's complete, I can call back in and have them credit me for the "down" time. So again, will be nice to have a month or two of 4G for free when it's done.
Please post LTE discussions in the LTE Sticky thread
Thanks

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
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
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!
