I didn't believe it so I immediately ran a speed test and got 15 down, 5 up. I still didn't believe it cause before when I got LTE in Davis I was getting like 25-30 down and 15 up so I went to menu/about phone/status and sure enough it said I was connected to LTE on 13 satellites :victory:
Like you, I've noticed that I've had it for about a week now.....AT&T just announced the rollout today. LMAO
Looks like phone updates aren't the only thing they're slow about :laugh:

Rocklin, Lincoln, and Roseville as well. Also noticed a few more bars in a few more places. (might be my imagination.)

Citrus Heights has it too....I was at Fuddruckers on Sunrise last Friday and was getting better speeds there than I have in Sac so far.

OOOOOoooooooohhhhh. I hope they light up south Lake Tahoe too! Here's to wishful thinking! At least when i am in Sac I can blaze...

I was near the mall. I got 41 down 15 up. I only got above 40 twice the rest of the times was in the 20s

I consistantly get ~12 down 5-6 up. Maybe I'm just in the middle of where most of the traffic is. Wish I can get 20 down all the time.

Well I guess I'll stop complaining about my speeds, it's a little faster than yours. I just tested 18 down, 13 up. I live in Carmichael.

Please continue all LTE discussions in the sticky thread

[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.

Are you talking on the cell network or any speedtest? I can get 12mbit download and 5mbit on wifi but cell network i get nothing until hsdpa+ comes to chicago

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.

Signal issue with 1 gnex

Hey there guys since January me and my brother plus other family members switched from AT&T to Verizon , until couple days ago my brother started seeing very low signal on his Galaxy Nexus.
We live in NY , Queens he lives 10 minutes away from me it's different city but it's a 10-15 minute walk.
I will post two screenshot from same application to check tower status and signal strength.
First One is my screenshot

Second one is his
+1 his
Now question is this is def a Verizon problem , how do I get them to help me with this? some sort of Booster or anything : please also note that adress on my bill is assigned to me not him.
Thank you !
Sounds more like an issue with signal in his house or he may be just far enough away from the tower. Have you compared your phone's signal at his house?

I have not actually , but it was just fine since January he even had 1 4G bar , so in case that it's Verizon's fault how can I make them give us a signal extender any ideas?
Umm ask the big man upstairs for a miracle? I've never had any luck getting VZW to admit fault with anything...
Hey guys I have an interesting update , it seems there might be some sort of signal jammer inside his house he has no idea what it could be , as soon as he walks out of his house to his yard he gets perfect signal -> once he goes inside the house almost dead zone.
Question is now , how to look for signal jammers?

doesnt it make sense that the signal gets weakened inside. like those crazy walls and stuff

20kb/s download speed over hspa

just decided to test out my normal data speeds when home and not using wifi and im shocked to find out im only getting in the 20-40 kb/s a second download while the upload is a normal 1500-2000 kb/s most of the time. my internet/play store/etc were working fine while i was at work yesterday over the tmobile network, not sure of exact speeds though. i cant remember the last time i used the mobile network at my house and not wifi so i cant tell if its my house as a problem or just some flukey network problem but ive been trying to find everything that would cause this with no luck so far. any ideas?
Are you rooted and do you have your IMEI? What's your signal strength? Go to settings / about phone/ status and signal
I personally average between 73-85dBm and I gt good speeds

yes i am rooter but i still have my imei, i was just out for a bit and did a speedtest near the store and it came out decent enough. just got back home and getting around 7.2 mb/s down and 1.4 up with a 340 ping, not great but workable. im guessing it was just on tmobiles end, and a coincidence it worked itself just in time for me to test it again out of the house thanks for the help!

HOLY crap, my battery sucks! Why??

Hey fellow GNex'ers!
I'm currently running CM10.2 on my Sprint GNex. I just pulled my phone off the charger, set it in my car, drove home from work (for lunch), then back to work. Once I got to work (hadn't even turned the screen on since I unplugged it), I checked the battery: 88%. Now, not even 70 minutes later it's reading 82%, a loss of 6% with no texts, no screen on, no notifications, and my 3g is 3 bars, which is pretty good for where I am (and the fact that there are no notifications / data usage).
Can anyone explain what it could be killing my battery? I'll post the betterbattstats screens later (when I get back out to my car), but for the rest of the afternoon I'm going to leave it there so I can get a better idea of what's killing the battery. I'm so sick of my battery draining when I'm not even touching it!
My wife's GNex did practically the same thing this morning. Her phone died in about 5 hours, but she turned the phone off about an hour after turning it on... She's running stock 4.1.2
Edit: Lost 2% in 11 minutes, so we'll round it up to 1% per 6 minutes right now...
do you not have LTE available in your area? if not, thats your problem.

I do have LTE in my area, but I've noticed LTE takes up even more power than 3g. However, my work is at an Army post, and since the towers aren't located on the post itself, it's kind of rare for me to have a solid LTE signal. I don't make any attempts to change the way Android decides which to use though, because I find that it's fairly intelligent about switching from LTE to 3g when LTE gets low, and vice-versa.

So these are images showing that I lost 30% battery while only using the screen for 12 minutes... That's just ridiculous!

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.
