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.

500-600 kbps :crying:

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.

haven't had any problems here

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.

Please continue all LTE discussions in the sticky thread

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.

Awesome 3g speeds on FD19 ?

So i updated to from FD16 to FD19 this morning and right away i noticed i was getting amazing 3g speeds ! Before i would get about 50-150 kb down and well now i get 500-1000 kb down. Or maybe sprint just improved their 3g here in my city ? Anyone else getting good 3g speed after updating to fd19 ?

let me nip this right now....
it's still there 100% and Sammy thought it was fixed, but realized it wasn't so it is a big ticket item again. We are expecting it to be fixed in the new few releases. Thanks to Calk for the info!!!
I agree. Without any real testing, 3G seems to be much better than before. Definitely an improvement over FD16.
What ROMs are you guys running?
Meh not really that good hate sprints 3G
Yeah i was getting 200-1.5 now i get 800-1.5 o.o it seems better XD
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I tried EL13, FB27, EL29 and FD16. FD16 has been the best, pulling 2.25 mbps DL at my house, but I'm going to try FD19 and see if that makes a difference.
Did you guys get over 1 Mbps before you switched to the FD19 modem? I'll have to try it out after I get my replacement phone.
FD16
Hi: 1801
Lo: 1196
Avg: 1397
FD19 (15 mins later, exact same location)
Hi: 1666
Lo: 926

Conclusion: No noticeable improvement

I am getting at least 2x improvement on 3g and good on 4 at rush hour. Speed test is crap IMO so I used speakeasy. Went from .17 to .50s

So your saying the Radio Interface Layer and the rest of the Operating system which stands in between the software and the hardware has nothing to do speeds? That would be hard to believe. There is plenty between the radio firmware and the software used to do the testing that can hurt speed.
Not that it normally presents any large issues but it would be foolish to believe it cant.

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.

Why is my nexus so slooow?

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.

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.
