Getting really slow data...

For some reason lately I've been getting only Edge in my area when normally I get extremely solid H+. I don't know if my phone is acting up (completely stock on 4.1.2) or if AT&T may be upgrading their network in my area, possibly adding LTE. Any ideas why?

Sometimes when I get this, I just airplane mode cycle. Sometimes im stuck on far away towers.

Oh really? I'll have to try that from now on. Thanks!

Let us know if it doesnt work. It happens. If youre getting it a lot. Thats not usual. Or if it happens in your house fron 4g down to edge. It could be an issue with your tower. Or location. Maybe the tower is overloaded and they kick you to another?
This has happened to me once on this phone. And it was on either stock rom or blackout. Cant remember

Well where I work I get full signal. Averaging 10 Mbps down on H+. But recently I've only been getting Edge. It could very well be what you said about too many users on one tower. I'll try tomorrow and let you know.

A few months ago when I had my Galaxy S3 I got this problem out of nowhere. I never found a solution even tho I tried going back to stock and several other "fixes". Ended up having to send the phone back and getting another one. Idk if the antenna went bad or what but even on Edge it was unresonble slow

Well I couldn't hold myself back the other night and I flashed Jedi X. Haha. Having no data issues now.

I'm forced to use HSPDA due to the LTE network being overloaded here in SoCal.
Funny thing is, with LTE on, I avg about 3down/10up....with HSPDA, I get roughly 6down/1up. Quite frankly, I care more about download than upload anyway so it's actually better for me

Turn on LTE

Does anyone have the link handy for the post on how to activate LTE on the Note 2 (by popping out your sim) ? I searched for it, but didnt find it for some reason.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

That's not really turning on lte. I believe it was just to have LTE as a option, but it's not like it'll do you any good.

Why wouldn't do me any good if I had the option to select it? I live in Vegas they keep turning it on and off while they test it. I was at the T Mobile store today and one of the reps had their Note running on LTE.

Really dude ? NO.
The rep at the store was running a test build which enables the LTE radio to be used.

I guess we gotta wait on a leak for this ota then. I was thinking we were ready to roll without any mods but I guess not...

There's already a person with it activated in a test device. He said it has new apns and is based on android 4.1.2, so when you see that update we will have LTE. Right now it is currently only going to be active in Las Vegas, and Kansas City.

There is a CM10 ROM that is suposedly gonna have LTE capablilties. I have not yet tested it but I may at a later date.

I went to *#22693# and came across an LTE option on my T-Mobile Note 2, has it always been there? I thought the bands were not enabled yet.
Currently on LL4 .

Curious, when lte comes out, would it consume a lot more battery power than the current 4g?

And what if your on rooted rom? Will the option be there or will you need to revert to stock for the OTA ?

Tbh id rather wait for the tmobile lte than try and use att. I had my friend at work run speedtest on his and its not much more faster than our hspa+ right now.
My connection on average is around 13-15mps, ive peaked at 22mps too before. The att one that was ran was at about 19mps. Since att is realease 9 lte and tmobile is said to be releasing release 10 lte. Im going to wait and see.
Hopefully the 2 people here can post their speeds with the test devices to see what we can look forward too.

If your connected to LTE you should see about an 30 min to an hour less of battery life, if your connected to "4G" (3G) but your phone is constantly searching for a LTE signal you going to lose about 1:30-2 hours.
I just bought some batteries to deal with this

Any news on LTE in Vegas? Can you post your screens of ServiceMode or speedtests?
THanks

Thanks that explains why my battery life has been fluctuating. Even when I am connected to 3G my phone still displays 4G and the battery life consumed is the same when I am connected to either type. Is there anyway to turn on the data connection automatically whenever a particular app requires it?

If you got a T-Mobile Sim, you're not only gonna get 2G I think which would explain the slow speeds.

Its probably your apn settings. Make sure proxy and port are blank. ST's recommended apn settings will limit your data speed. BTW make sure you still have recommended setting for MMS proxy and MMS port.

I put my wifes ST sim in and i got 6mb transfer rate, so im calling ST. I def have not used a lot of bandwidth so i dont think im being throttled.

UPDATE: I called straight talk. They reset my internet settings on the account. They called it a 'congestion'. Either that or they were randomly throttling people to see if they notice. Anyway she did that then I rebooted my phone and get a solid 6mbps download connection and about 1 up. So that seems to have fixed the problem! They were pretty easy to deal with.

Glad to hear you got that figured out

Honestly I'm thinking some of the issues are the build.prop
Ive been adding a few things ril related
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28
ro.ril.hsupa.category=9
ro.ril.hsxpa=5
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
And getting somewhat better performance though I'm not certain they are helping I don't have the energy to check if something else is setting them

Just add a new APN with epc.tmobile.com, the new APN (fast.t-mobile.com)on the 4.1.2 is the one making you get the slow speed.

the new APN is for the LTE network supposedly. Not sure if it will be only for LTE or if you'll be able to epc for LTE as well.
I'm in one of the LTE markets and keep flipping between stock and carbon rom. Tried cyanogen and have had the best luck.
I bought my note 2 at full retail for use on prepaid 70$ plan to see if I want to switch off my VZW unlimited data with 30$ hotspot.
I'm anxiously awaiting LTE turn up!

They cover how to make the APNs editable in these forums you'll have to search. I don't have the energy to look at the moment.

Ended up finding a decent example of editing stock with new APN.

I thing they are testing LTE under fast.t-mobile.com but if you live in a tmobile LTE area is no need to change to epc but if you see slow speed have the epc apn available to switch for faster HSPA+.

Yeah I think they are using it to test also but that's a guess. I constantly switch between 3g and 4g icons all day. ... Like every ten seconds when in most areas. I'll leave apn until tomorrow and then switch to epc if I don't see lte. I live in Miami fl and have been checking downtown in hopes of getting lte

My data is horrible recently!

At home my data is usually always 7mbps-15mbps.. This past week it's been horrible at home. At about 40kbps...
At work and everywhere else it's fine, but once I get home it's horrible! Even 2 miles away from my house, it's fine.
I called tmobile and they filed a ticket to look into the tower but could take up to 10 days.
Anyone have any ideas?

Depending on where u live ur tower by ur house can be old and not updated so it slower or it can be a borrowed tower. The one by ur job must be in a city which they update first. For me the new lte modem sucks I went back to the old modem. It is more reliable.

I get horrible speeds as well and always have. I live in in a crowded area....Brooklyn, New York
Also, it's not like I'm underground or hidden from the outside world, I'm sitting right next to a window in a 6 story building. I've honestly had enough of t-mobile.. they always mess up my contract and have such ****ty speeds in my area. Not to mention, they directly lie to you over the phone and barely keep any promises. Oh and New York being one of the biggest cities isn't even one of the LTE cities that was upgraded. Sorry for this rant but I'm just kinda pissed with TMO.
Does anyone know if I can somehow check if my phone is set on the right antenna?

Yes a big difference. I mostly use WiFi tho when out cause I have WiFi hot spots every place by me. But the lte modem is use less by me till lte is around here.

Use the old apn if you're having issues. There's already a thread on this. Search for it.
I have a feeling the new apn is speed limited so when lte fully rolls out the hspa network isn't overloaded. Most people don't notice a difference between 8mbps and 11mbps. Which was my difference. But if your difference is between 3-5mbps and 55kbps then it's probably a tower issue as well.

Believe it or not but a easy way would be to root and then revert back to stock 4.1.1. It will get u back to normal u will just have to not update till they fix all the bugs

If you're in a refarmed market just manually select the 1900 band as AWS might be too crowded. I have to do the same when I'm at my house as on AWS I get 500kbps while on 1900 I get no less than 12mbps
