Signal strength question - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

On this phone and all the phones I've had I always have around -70 dBm is that normal? Or is it the area I live in?
Thanks in advance

Reception is poor in my apartment so I get like -100dBm.

Oh OK just making sure I'm not the only one.
The highest speed I've seen ever is 4300 Mbps is that low? This is anywhere in the city not just my apartment

Thats like 7.5mB so nah
Ok, that is a nice speed test. But there's no reason to be such a braggerd (Especially to start a new thread).
You are in kb's not mb's. I consistently get 30mbps in SF.
That works out to about 56-57Mbps down
Yeah that's 56-57 MBs down lol

software problem? can't believe it test speed is under 4G as not 4G LTE.
I'm on a rom that changes the letters and takes away LTE ultimatum rom.
The area that I'm at literally JUST got LTE...so there's like nobody on it..rofl. that's why the speeds are so high

I get consistently over 50mb dl and 18mb ul in san Diego. These speeds will slowly decline as the network grows and number of lte devices increase.

Well, you sure don't win with that 114ms ping time though. But good speeds

In Chicago I only get near 10mbps download speed

This is in New Orleans yesterday which supposedly got LTE not too long ago
and here are my speeds 10 minutes away from the airport in Houston today.
Dunno if it matters, but my hotel room in New Orleans was on the 4th floor, and the Houston speeds are from just now on the 1st floor.

Internet speeds jumping

So I'm watching my phone jump back and forth from h+ to 3g and I'm wondering why it might be doin this? Any ideas

See the same thing, pretty confused.
Speed tests show 3Mbps down and 1+-Mbps Up
but it usually sticks with h+ anytime i do something
Well I was in a major city yesterday and they have 4g but it was jumpin when I was sitting still in the middle of town

With the newer ROMs the phone knows when there isn't a need for 4G or H+. It drops down to 3G to save data and battery. As soon as there is a need for higher data speeds the phone automatically adjusts to meet the demand. Trust me you are getting your 4G when you need it.

[Q] LTE Radio

I just saw where T-Mobile just launched its first LTE cities, does this phone have a LTE capable radio?

No, it does not.
Negative ghostrider.
Is it me or are those speedtest screens kind of weak speed wise? Sure the upload speed is way fast, but I get 30Mbps download on the h+ which is what they are saying the lte I'd supposed to get

Weak signal after update

Does anybody experienced having weak cell signal after tmobile update?
Mine I used to get full bars of cell signal til I update, now I only get 1 to 2 bars.
What could be the cause of weak signal?

seemed like it for me as well so i went back to the uvall4 modem. btw, i'm in south florida.

It could be due to connecting to LTE if you have it. My signal becomes worse because of it, but if I switch to 4G/3G/2G mode only my signal jumps back to being better in 4G mode.

Same here, with LTE my signal sucks take it off and presto full bars.
Do i have to change the apn also if I do what u did?

If you go to Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Network Mode, click GSM/WCDMA preferred, which stops it from looking for LTE.
There is no LTE near me and I dont want it to be draining battery when I dont need it to, so thats how I set it. I had weak signals too after the new MD1 update and went back to MB4 using Odin.

Data speed question.

Hey y'all. I have a Nexus 4 on T-Mobile and consistently get over 20mbs dl speeds and 1 or 2 mbs up and that's on 3g.. on LTE its even faster..
Here's my question. A good friend of mine recently got the Optimus G with sprint and has yet to see more than 1mbs down or up. He briefly had a 4g connection and still couldn't break a meg. Is this normal for Sprint? Is there anything he could do to increase his speed or better his connection?
And its not like we're in a low service area.. here in central FL outside of Orlando pretty much all the big carriers are here in full strength.
Thanks for your input guys.
3G is pretty much garbage everywhere but in Florida 4g should be at least 5 MBps Down or higher
