So I went to AT&T store yesterday because I was getting really slow data speeds. The guy said they were having issues with their service and to download mark the spot app. but i did and it kept making me send crash reports. anyway the guy gave me a new sim card. Anyways I just put my sim card in my old HTC Inspire 4G and I got like 8 megs down. when I'm getting 1 meg down on the galaxy nexus. so I'm like WTF? Why am I getting faster data speeds on my inspire and not my galaxy nexus. I even tried to use the default apn from my inspire on galaxy nexus and still got the same result. I've tried Network signal booster but it hasn't helped. I don't understand how my inspire used to get slow data speeds but now it's getting faster than my new phone. I really like my galaxy nexus.

hey guys, i was thinking about getting a galaxy nexus from the play store soon. but ive owned one before it was the international one (according to the guy i bought it from on craigslist) before they sold them in the play store. i had nothing but issues with my wifi dropping for no reason no matter what i did. my wifi basically never worked because it would drop as soon as i download something. here is a video for proof i put up on youtube. also u can see my data issues i had if the wifi didnt drop. my speeds are horrible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mliIsHU9oU&feature=plcp
also when my wifi did work every now and then. my data speeds were around 5mbs when i have 30mbs at my house. its the only phone ive ever had issues with wifi.
basically i wanted to know if anyone else has this issue or did i just get a bad unit? it was the big reason i had to get rid of my galaxy nexus when i had it months ago.
I have two T-mobile sim cards on the $30 100min/5GB 4G plan. I recently bought a Galaxy Nexus and I have a T-Mobile Exhibit II 4G. When I run speed test on both phones at the SAME time, the GN gives me a download speed of 0.1-0.5Mpbs while the Exhibit constantly manages over 3Mbps. Swapping the sim cards gives me the same result.
GN does reach 5-7Mbps, but very rarely and for no apparent reason. Does anyone have any idea why the Galaxy Nexus has really slow data speed? I'm on rooted stock ROM with XXLF1 radio.
Obviously I'm a noob and I don't know much about radios. But I read somewhere that the XX in XXLF1 stands for Europe. Could this be the problem?
I just came from the HTC One X, went to the AT&T and got a sim card from them for free. Popped it into my Galaxy Nexus and boy are the speeds slow. I don't even get 1 Mb/s. Is there a solution out there to get better speed?
Do you have a postpaid account with AT&T or Straight Talk? Straight Talk AT&T have been having issues for about 2 weeks or more. I finally had to leave them myself.
You should try Sprint... They have great data speeds.

You likely have an APN problem, or AT&T has provisioned the SIM improperly.

If he went into an AT&T store and started an account, then its likely postpaid AT&T...
You have been spoiled by the LTE. I came from the one x as well and the lumia 900, both of which have LTE and it does make me a little sad that I had to give up LTE in order to use this phone. Worth it still. Honestly, when are you going to need those kind of speeds. Only if you are downloading a rom or some super large file. But i am floating at around 3Mb/s down and 1 Mb/s up. But i do get awful speeds inside my office building where as with LTE, it penetrates building better, i was able to get 20 Mb/s down constantly.

I'm always debating if i should go back to lte for these reasons
Hello everyone,
I am having a serious crisis. So let me give you a little back story. I previously had a unlocked gnex and I had been using it with straight talk att and simple mobile. My particular phone didn't like straight talk at all I was always having data problems and the reception and data were very slow. Simple mobile worked great and very fast and the soft data cap I found was a lot higher than att's. I sold my gnex a few weeks ago before the nexus 4 launch so I could get more money for it. I have been using a Nokia E5-00 in the mean time on straight talk and fr some reason it has been great way better reception and the data is actually faster than what I was getting on my gnex even though this phone only supports hspa+7.5 instead f the full hspa+21 the gnex had. I really want a Galaxy Note 2, but I have been hesitant of ATT's network and I am afraid I will have the same roblems as I had with my gnex. So I wanted the T-mobile version because it would give me the flexibility to switch between the above listed carriers and since prepaid doesn't have lte support I could get the hspa+42 and know I will get faster data than ATT. I have to get the phone from amazon, long story but that is where I have to get it, they dont seem to be getting the t-mo version anytime soon and everywhere is on back order, but I cant deal with using this E5 any longer. I can get a ATT Galaxy note 2 and they just turned on LTE where I live in Columbus, Ohio. I had 2 questions I hope somebody can help me out with, since I am using prepaid and wont get LTE is there a hack to make the LTE work? Also is the HSPA+ on ATT going to provide faster speeds than before now that LTE has launched relieving some strain on hspa+ and providing more back-haul to the sites? Any incite would be gratefully apreciated
No LTE in my area of California here in Rancho Cucamonga so when im in Orange County I love to run speed test to test out the LTE speeds. Ive been doing this from back when I had my Note 1. The speeds in the Irvine area were up to 22mbps+ on the Note 1. Finally had the chance to take my Note 2 into a LTE area and was completely taken back by the fact that on my first test I maxed out at 11Mbps then had zero data never reaching 1Mbps all day. Did a battery pop, reset my data, also reset my APN's and still nothing over a MB. My wife's note2 on a different contract but still on ATT also had zero data not even able to pull simple web pages or even Google Play. Has anyone else experienced the same issue on their phone?

i had this problem when i first got my Note II, one minute i had data the next none at all, ended up going back to ATT and having them replace the phone and the sim. the guy at the store said it was probably a bad sim but since he was a friend he replaced everything for me. I suggest taking both and getting new sims to see if that fixes your problems if that doesnt work then new phones with the new sims
This sounds somewhat like issue i am having. I show some bars and 4g data but when i goto use the data it disconnects. I was thinking this was a problem of weak lte signal and not dropping down to 3g properly, now i think it could be worth a sim swap. The areas i have experienced no data are areas that worked fine on my iphone4.
