Ok so i have noticed something, I'm in virginia beach and my data speeds are faster when charging. Also they slowdown as the battery goes down. I did 3 speed test while at 45% 30% 15% and my speeds where 0.55 mbps 0.25 mbps and 0.01 mbps. Now I'm charging and i did 3 test (same app and my phone is in the same location) and just got 1.01 mbps 1.10 mbps and 1.35 mbps. So does the amount of voltage in the battery affect the amount of power to the radio? This is the first phone it's done it on..... Like my CPU doesn't get slower as the battery goes down so why are my data speeds?
Edit: I'm on the LG8 modem. Those where my download speeds.

I noticed that I had data problems when my battery was very low. I was wondering the same thing. I actually had what seemed to be my modem not even working when the battery was super low. Like data locked up completely.

here is the whole link http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/...network-visionlte-deployment-schedule-update/
but the part to look at is this:
"If Sprint waits for 50% completion to launch the Norfolk market, it would make the launch month to be November (should the OEM stay on schedule). If they plan on a 40% market completion for launch, that would be October. You may think that 40% - 50% site completion is not enough to launch LTE service, but it would provide pretty good coverage."
so depending on how much of the towers will be LTE means how long we have to wait.... it will be before 2013 and before December 2012
EDIT: a sprint rep told me we would have WiMax in 2011 (actually it was around this time that we would be getting it), look where we are now.....

Maybe there is some kind of outage where you live?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
Yeah what above said. I get 2 bars avg in my house and get about 800kbps, 4 bars I get 1mbps, They may be working on the towers out there also
Any chance you might have given them reason to throttle you data connection down?
I also experience dramatic drops in data speeds at peak times and it is location specific where I live. At 2300 in my neighborhood I get great speeds, but at the same time at work (which is full of people still awake and likely using their network) I get really bogged down.
Either a possible factor?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
I think the reason why people get horrible speeds at work is because there is probably too much electronic interference.
But then again, when someone says "work" I imagine someone sitting in a cubicle.

besides the "3G hack" is there anyway to prevent from being throttled on a non rooted 2.3.3 dinc2?
I was under the impression that even with the hack you can get throttled
But I also understand you need to be using GBs/month to make that happen. Most people would have a hard time getting there.
I stream Pandora ALL the time, and I usually get between 1 and 2 GBs of useage. I'm also using my phone for most of my internet browsing.

There's a lot of things that will influence your throughput. Signal strength is only one of a few. Signal quality and available bandwidth will also influence it. A strong signal with a bit of noise will cause problems.
Try *228 option 2, then reboot, and see if it helps.

Verizon is cracking the whip on "free" tethering. I read in an article that it can be tracked if your phone is on gingerbread. I'm not sure, maybe one of the devs could weigh in, but I read there was code written into GB to help them track it. If I can find the article, I'll link it.

I have the unlimited data plan still and so far I have been throttled each and every month since I got my note 2. I average 10 gigs a month but have done as much as 20. I usually switch apns and get Hspa speeds once I hit the 5 gig cap. This month however I am close to 8 gigs so far and have yet to be throttled. So do you think AT&T gives up after a while of us not taking hints to chill with the data or what?
Doubt it. They throttle the top 5% of users in the area. Your abuse may not have reached the threshold yet.

That was their original plan but shortly after they decided just to cap it at 5 gigs. That's why it has me wondering.

While it does seem to be a little bit less consistent, they definitely still throttle. Usually around 8 GB in my experience.

Wow dude my wife would kill me. Did all your apps redownload after you flashed? Every time I flash a new ROM, my phone redownloads all my apps for me. So every time I go right to the play store and stop all downloads. Or kill your data. The only app I redownload is titanium backup. If I was smarter I would probably just save it to my SD card. Hope this helped.
Apparently, redownload isn't a word. Thanks, autocorrect.

Take a deep breath...now relax. Hunt around and you'll see that it was due to some stuff that got merged a while ago. Long story short, it's an error that does not reflect actual data usage. It erroneously totals numbers crazy high.
I don't think he would have 33 GB of apps! Plus that much data in just 3 hours? Something is skewed!

Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
3G average speeds are about 3 Mb/s, so lets do some math! 33.5 GB=about 268Gbs. 268 times 1000=268000. 268000 divided by 3, giving you the amount of seconds it would hypothetically take. You get 89333.3. You divide that by 60 for one whole minute and should get 1488.88, which you divide by 60, to find out how many hours it would take to download at that speed. Which is 24.814 hours. There you have it, not very plausible.

Right. My mistake. I just tried a converter, and to download 11 GB an hour, you need atleast 26Mbps sustained, and on AT&T 4G LTE, average of 36 Mbps is quite the norm for me. So it is actually possible. Thanks Rani.

But when I am in Belleville Ontario I can't connect to XDA for example.
pda.bell.ca has given me issues at times and I have better luck with inet.bell.ca
