So since we have this beast of a phone and unlimited data, what do you use that data for? I use it for streaming music (huge memory saver), social media, facebook, twitter, instagram, and some email and web browsing. I go through about 1 G - 1.5 G a month now. I was on AT&T with a 200 mb plan so I love the freedom. Just wish I had LTE here!
So, how much do you use and on what?
Also, has anyone noticed the phone getting hot if you try to use data in an area with bad connection?
I go on Netflix just about everyday, Facebook, browser, emails, youtube, etc. Have used 20gb so far with 12 days left on this bill cycle. So on average I use probably between 25-30gb a month depending how much I tether with the laptop.
This bill is for my epic on the line. Use that phone as my 4g device since I also don't have lte.

Lately I have been trouble with my data connection. While I'm browsing the web the connection will time out or I will loose my signal. This just started this week and the time of day seems to have no effect.
I am getting a mix of really high ping rates (600+Ms), some good pings and sometimes it fails to complete the test. All of these tests where done pretty much right after each other.
A lot of times when I go to access a page the upload arrow will light up and stay lit and the page never loads.
Is this normal or could I have a defective Gs2?

I had called T-Mobile about the problem and they said they would reset my connection. I thought that had helped at first but I guess it hasn't. I have also tried doing a factory reset. But nothing makes a difference.

honestly does it make a difference when you surf around or download anything?

Yes. A lot of times it will not connect at all. Or it will load half the page and then loose its connection.

does this happen to your past phone? might be where your at. i have crazy ping times too but i stream music, surf and nnothing really affect it. try changing modem.
I went over on my data plan last month and I recall T-Mobile my account saying I used 5.3gb out of my 5gb. I just installed the app again and now it says how much I've used out of "unlimited". Anyone else noticed this too?

We technically have unlimited, but it will throttle. Mine says unlimited too and I am on the 5 gig plan.
Sept 5 the 're are going to have unlimited data plan. But you will lose WiFi hour spot and tethering. No throttling either

I usually can use another 500mb before Tmobile stock my 4g, I got 200mb left for two days I can't wait till September 5Th

Oh yes I'm aware that the new truly unlimited plan doesn't roll out until September 5th but I did find it interesting that the notification for the amount of data I can use switched from saying 5gb to saying unlimited. When I went over 5gb it flashed between my overage and the word "upgrade" which linked to a page where I could upgrade to a 10gb plan. So now I wonder what would happen if I reached 5gb again.

Well, we've been seeing it for about a month, but its been real spotty. Good speeds, but spotty. Yesterday I finally got it at my house. I usually grab it for a little while on the way home from work, but it cuts out. Round trip from home to work for me is about 75 miles. From New Lennox to North Aroura. I've had good late since I left this morning, all afternoon in naperville, and even inside buildings. Finally my gnex will fly w/out WiFi! Thanks sprint!!! Better late than never!
I'll post some pics w speed test results on my lunch.

I get really good speeds in Joliet on VZW's LTE too. My cousins live there and I visit a few times a year.

Nice.:good:
Hey guys.
Can you guys help me out. If you have seen my other thread I am getting awful hspa+ (4g non lte) speeds. I thought it was just my phone as I would put my sim into my gs2 and it would improve by a factor of 15. However my mom just got a iphone 5 and says that since than her hspa+ speeds were in the ****ter as well.
So now my thought is that it is a problem with the chipset found in our phones and not being able to handle hspa+ effectively.
ANYWAY where im going with this is I was hoping to get a better sense of others speeds in 4g, not LTE areas with AT&T. If you could help and use speedtest to test your speed without wireless on and post your download and upload speeds.
Thanks in advance
My ugly speeds today. Non LTE.

This was taken a while back. My speeds are pretty consistent though.

I get anywhere from 3-9 here in Farmington about an hour south of St Louis, MO. That is pretty consistent with all of my other phones too

Ok Im glad to see others are doing well. I get on an up day ONLY 500KB/s, not even 1MB/s! for download and about the same if not a bit more on upload. I guess I will go to a store and try my sim in one of their phones.
Only down side is there is no store in my area so I have to wait to go back to my parents for winter break. Sigh, first world problems
Same question as the title. See this screenshot

I was having this problem for the first day or two. I simply turned off mobile data for awhile and then turned it back on a few hours later and it only pops up now when receiving or sending an MMS (or when I leave the wifi signal, of course). Not sure if that's the fix or just a fluke.

This is across all phones I've used from time to time nothing to be concerned about it'll go away with time with no action on your behalf.

I figured out that its verizon's stupid CallerID app. It needs mobile data on to analyze incoming calls. It's not used, but its on. I disabled callerID and its not there anymore
I also thought it was the CallerID app and disabled it. However the issue re-occurs whenever I open the My Verizon Mobile app to work with my account. I tested it though by streaming some music for a while then checking my phones data usage in settings and it's not actually using mobile data.
My uncle's did the same thing when using Facebook app and then turning on wifi. Haven't had a chance to test his yet, but I'm pretty sure it's the same issue. Still, it's an annoying problem, especially when you get phone calls from the fam wondering why their phone's using 4g when on wifi
When my 4G won't turn off I just restart the phone and it does the trick. Doesn't happen very often for me though.
