Why is my nexus so slooow? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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.

What the hell is a touchdown?

Its an email app.
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.

Lol sorry yeah its an email app. Im on sprint. I guess the speeds are slow but my old og evo didn't take nearly as long to download apps on 3g. Perhaps its just nostalgia.

Sprint is known for slow data speeds.

Is it? My steady 2-2 1/2 mbps down over 3G seems to disagree.

Sounds like some extremely scientific testing you did there to compare the phones.

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

Why the FFFFF

Does AT&Ts version have cm7 24 hours after launch and we dont?
Yes, its spotty but the fact remains that it is there. I just think its unfair.

Maybe they have an official stock rom. Small changes from the internal gs2.

I'm not surprised. They are GSM so they can get everything from the International GS2 instantly.

This exactly. The CM devs have to deal with both CDMA and Wimax whereas the AT&T version is basically the same as the international version.

And guess what he actually posted in the at&t sgsII cm7 thread complaining... These types of people ruing it for eveyone... @op- think about it, can a og galaxy s 2 work on at&t when unlocked? Yes... So the rom will work on the at&t version because the phones are the same thing... We are cdma and its a lot more complicated to get that working, and none of the team hacksung has the phone... Yet

Im curious how fast the thing will be on att hspa+...and when we will get it
I get 7 meg on three in the uk when in the city. At home I get about 2-3meg but three are currently in the process of updating their transmitters anyway, I really can't fault them.
As for wifi performance I get 25 meg via my router where as my laptop connected to the same router via wifi gets 35 meg(39 wired).

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.

I wish i had 4g in my home area

Correct. I would love to have 4g out here. You would think with Phoenix being such a large city (population wise) they would put something here.

Memphis, Tn just got lte today. Damn its fast.

Those are some awesome speeds! I live in a weak area, so my speeds are nothing close to those. I'll try it again when I go into a stronger area. Has anyone noticed any hit on the battery?
I'm throttled until the end of the month. Kinda sucks knowing it's there and i can't test it.

After a day of use, I did notice a little hit. I would say I lost about 4hrs of battery use. I used to get about 1 1/2 days on a charge. I had to charge last night at bed time after a days use. Could be because I was so excited about the speeds I had to use them more then usual though.

Anybody in the Memphis area getting text messages late? The past two days I've been getting texts with timestamps that are a few hours late. Just wondering if it's happening to any of you. Hoping that it's due to them getting LTE up and working on the network.

Anybody know how far signal typically reaches?
I'm 40 miles out from 2 different 4G areas, wondering if there's any chance I will ever see those signals here.
Edit: googled it. Reaches like 10 miles tops. Bummer.
