[Q] Fastest Speedtest

What's the fastest speedtest? I've seen 9 on YouTube, has anybody got any faster?

My Dl speeds have been quite slow, but for some crazy reason the other night I was DL at 600kb UL at 6mb
i know.
i didn't typo that. i was uploading 10 times faster than i was downloading, and i was uploading faster than my home internet connection will go.

I've hit 7.2 download a week ago. I normally average between 4.5-6.

I've gone up to 4.5 Mbps. Haven't done many speed tests.

Let me preface this with I work at a Radioshack.
When we first got the G2's in, before the phone actually launched, I tested one out just to see what kind of speeds it could get. My store is in a 5 bar HDPA+ area. The first test out of the box I got 8mpbs, and the second I got 10.5mbps, every one after that was ~10. After the phone launched and a few weeks went buy I got mine and iv been getting between 4-7mbps in the exact same spot.
So the phone is capable of it, but now that tmobiles network is getting more hammered by HSPA+ phones its slowing down I think.

The highest I received was 5.8 and that was in Las Vegas....

fastest i ever got was 4.85 mb/s after the ota. but it wasnt on hspa+ just hspa 7.2.. still just "3G"...

Taken in Plano, TX. Don't really like the fact that my wife's Vibrant will go to the server in Dallas and my old MyTouch always went to the one in Dallas, but my G2 will not find it for anything.

I've gotten around 7 or 8 as my highest in Western New York. Pretty decent speeds.

i can't figure this one out.
Normal:

I would like to post my Speedtest result but cannot figure out how to paste it in a message. I feel like an idiot, help?

I tested out in aurora once, said I was >5 miles from the server and I got a whoppin 8.6 mbit down. It was about the fastest I've ever tested but I average around 3-5mbit anywhere else.

If your device is getting bad reception...

You need to exchange it asap. It's as simple as that, you have a bad unit. A software patch or anything else isn't really going to help you. So save yourself some headache and just call up Verizon. Tests have been done (on working units) that show the nexus gets similar or even better connections compared to Verizon's other offerings.
I tested this myself vs my fiance's Droid 3. She showed more bars than I but I had a better download speed and slightly lower db. Both on 3G. To be more conclusive, she had four bars while I had NONE and similar db.
The only thing Verizon is going to do is make our bars show like the Droid 3 and other phones such as the RAZR. So exchange until you get a working unit, we really can't help you. That is all.

You just verified that Verizon is doing the right thing. It's not the bars that matter it's the db. If you are getting similar db then you are getting the same signal strength regardless of whether it shows 1 or 4 bars.

I think this is what I'm going to do. I only have until next Thursday to return the phone since I bought my Gnex from a non-corporate store so tomorrow I'm going to take my re-locked nexus back and exchange for another. If that one still sucks in the reception department, I guess I'm getting a Razr.

Added pictures of what a working device should be getting for more evidence that this isn't everyone's problem.

Already switched out my device once and it is having the exact same problem. So I have 2 brand new phones and the first one worked great for a couple days and then they had their nationwide outage. I kind of doubt Verizon will keep switching phones until they find a working one...if indeed that is the problem. I figured if it was a phone defect that new sites would be all over this.

What is considered a good signal strength reading? Mine has varied from -80 to -110 at times.

Between -85 and -75 is considered excellent.

Virgin Mobile Data?

Anyone on Virgin Mobile been having the worst reception lately? I get no 3G, pure 1x. This occurred to me almost a week ago now. Reception goes from 3 to 0. And sometimes no data at all.
I'm on the east coast at PA Philadelphia, and I don't know if Virgin Mobile is doing something, or if its that Hurricane that's hitting.

Also, MMS keeps doing this when downloaded, and some other error when sending after 10 minutes.

I had these said issues few days back on stock or custom Rom. Virgins network sucks right now. I'm thinking of getting unlocked nexus from Google. Freedom of choice that way
sentfromybrain

You had them, did they go away, or do you still have them?
I think it's Sprint. Releasing phones with LTE, while they don't have LTE yet. Maybe Sprint is doing something. They said something about LTE in December.

Yea they persisted for a few days. But now back to average speeds and connection times. Slow still

The phone will drop to 3G to conserve battery when data is not in use. I believe there's a way to force HSPA only, you're going to have to search for it. Your phone and its radio firmware are fine though.

Currently on giffgaff and was thinking about switching to Three to take advantage of DC-HSDPA and eventually 4G, but it's worrying if the data connection is that flakey.
Sorry I can't offer any help but will be keeping a close eye on this thread and hopefully will give some insight about the Three network. The lack of 2G fallback for calls also bothers me.

I understand it will drop when not in use but this is when I'm on a website browsing it will drop and If I click a link it won't do anything it's weird

4.1.1 7105 on t-mobile does not do that, works fine.

I'm having okay data connection using the modem in your screenshot. N7105 on Three.
3G H H+ all working fine but there are some dark spots where I can't get data even with H+ on full strength.

I was amazed at this phone on verizon.
-Wizzle

You got me beat. I was amazed at the 24-26 I got in the Cincinnati-day ohio area. Coming from a galaxy s3 I was use to 6-8 on average.

This is the best I've gotten so far. Northwest Minneapolis suburbs.

I don't get higher than 9 down where I am. I'm actually sort of disappointed in this. I was hoping that my area was on XLTE. On regular LTE, the network is so saturated and crappy. I have 50/5 internet through Centurylink, with a Netgear Nighthawk router. My wifi speed tops out at 12 down. I get 26 down on my macbook, and 46 down on a wired connection.
I really was hoping for better results. I mean I know that the LTE situation in my area is a sad joke, but I have some pretty good speeds through CL.

I'm pretty happy

my area used to get horrible speeds of like 1mbps. I complained a lot. I think they finally fixed the towers here, and my g2 started getting like 10 to 15...ny note 4 gets 20 to 30. it's pretty awesome.

You guys still on "global" or did you switch to "LTE/CDMA"? Trying to decide if I should switch. Not really noticing any problems with Global but I haven't really ran much tests. Will do some today and post back.

I got 25mpbs where my g2 couldn't pull 10

Also Verizon.

switched to LTE/CDMA and noticed no difference.

Did this one just yesterday morning. Super happy.

Took this right after getting the phone.

The was on my Note 3, but the Note 4 would have gotten the exact same thing.

I get those speeds throughout my college campus in So Cal. I've actually stopped using the campus Wi-Fi because of it. Thank god for unlimited data.
