See the same thing, pretty confused.
Speed tests show 3Mbps down and 1+-Mbps Up
but it usually sticks with h+ anytime i do something
Well I was in a major city yesterday and they have 4g but it was jumpin when I was sitting still in the middle of town

With the newer ROMs the phone knows when there isn't a need for 4G or H+. It drops down to 3G to save data and battery. As soon as there is a need for higher data speeds the phone automatically adjusts to meet the demand. Trust me you are getting your 4G when you need it.

Anyone else have the sprint version of this phone and have problems with 3g data at times. For example it sometimes says I have full bars but Facebook will say that I don't have a connection at all. I'm wondering if its the phone or does sprint just have crappy 3g in LA? What do you guys think?

Switch the phone to only CDMA and it seems to be working a lot better with 3g now

I've been getting random loss of signal. Sometimes my 3g comes off even though I'm not in a fringe area
Its the network its been happenin to my Galaxy nexus too

OK so switch to just CDMA helped a bit but its still happening. I think it may be a soft wear issue. I hope that's just it.

yeah.. it is pretty annoying... sprint's 3g network is like a ****... it is dang slow.... makes me feel like i'm using EVDO only with my 4G SMARTPHONE with stupid $10 PREMIUM DATA CHARGE!!! wtf...
Aa you see at the sreenshot, UPlaod speed is faster then download speed... weird...
is there any solution for this?

That upload speeds are faster because they're not as heavily impacted by users as download speeds are. In other words, your local site is over capacity and its resulting in slower speeds for everyone. Once sprint upgrades your site, it'll be epic.

No. But it's a good speed.
You can check by going into settings, about phone, status and see what network type says.

Correct. Not LTE, but fair speed for H+, arguably slightly faster than the typical 3G. You're getting the speed I used to get when I was on my SGSII (non-skyrocket) until I upgraded to the SGN2 with LTE here in San Diego.
Thanks. Its says im running LTE:14. So I guess the question now is why am I not getting lte speeds!?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Just ran another test, slightly faster speeds but you can see in the status bar it says 4g instead of h+.
Im running jellythunder perfect storm..which I thought h+ meant lte.
Ideas?

Ok. Than u are getting LTE. The rom u have just isn't showing show in your status bar.
Did u flash an international theme or something that may have caused this?

4G=LTE
H, H+ = HSPA (3.5G)
3G = UMTS
This means that when you are in LTE you won't see the LTE symbol but instead 4G.
Depending on the rom u are using of course. In order verify that your ROM is actually using LTE go System Settings --> About Device --> Status. Look under Mobile Network Type.

I am in a lte area and my status bar now says 4g which means lte. What are normal lte speeds? My last post was the speed test on the lte...that normal?
Thanks again!

No, this is what it would look like. Look in between the alarm clock and the signal strength meter.

LTE = faux G as far as I am concerned.
AT&T is still on 3G .. its just 3G+. According to what I have read, LTE (and WiMax) was originally a "transitional technology." Then it was upped to 4G and HSPA+ is now a a transitional tech. Then some1 dumped a lot of money into an offshore account and transitional tech is 4G.
Cue the nerd rage at this point.
LTE Advanced (as well as WiMax v2 or whatever they were going to call it.) are 4G. These are some way away. With big V saying LTE deployment going into 2015, one could guess we won't see "pure" 4G until almost 2020.
Edit: LTE is 100Mb/s down AND up. LTE adv is basically gigabit. As far as the original spec, 4G = gigabit. So .. we aren't quite there yet.

Well, the symbol at the top left says H+. So, no that not LTE, if it where it would say 4G.
But if its an international port than it says 4g, jedi states so in first post

haha .. nothing like downloading (theoretically) a DVD iso in under a minute.
I'd rather have the lower ping time and the lower bandwidth connection than the higher ping time and larger bandwidth connection.
The fact that your ping is so low makes me believe that you might be on LTE. But it could be an excellent 3G connection or whatever ATT likes to call it to make themselves feel superior. I've seen speeds that low however for LTE when the signal isn't very strong.
I just saw where T-Mobile just launched its first LTE cities, does this phone have a LTE capable radio?

No, it does not.

Is it me or are those speedtest screens kind of weak speed wise? Sure the upload speed is way fast, but I get 30Mbps download on the h+ which is what they are saying the lte I'd supposed to get

Is there any way to improve my 4g reception?? When I'm at work my phone is constantly switching back and forth between 3g/4g and I'm sitting in the exact same spot in the building. This is very annoying cuz sprints 3G is worthless. Is there any i can do about this? Maybe some tweaks that could help me resolve this issue?? Or something in the build I could change?

My phones did that at first when 4G was just getting started around here. And 4G signals and usually bad in buildings because of the bands that they use.

So are the bands something you can't change or modify?

Maybe try going to the hidden menu by dialing 3845#*970#, scroll down to the bottom of that menu and click "IOT Hidden Menu", from there select "system selection", network mode, then LTE only. Hopefully that forces you to stay on LTE and won't give it the option to switch back to 3G. Obviously you're going to have to go back into this menu and hit CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto if you want 3G access again.

Nope. That's up to the carrier.
sprints lte is currently on the pcs 1900 band, verizon and att is on 700. by the end of the year sprint plans to have lte on the smr 800 band also. so coverage will be about the same as verizon
Perhaps try different radios such as the zvb one.

Hey y'all. I have a Nexus 4 on T-Mobile and consistently get over 20mbs dl speeds and 1 or 2 mbs up and that's on 3g.. on LTE its even faster..
Here's my question. A good friend of mine recently got the Optimus G with sprint and has yet to see more than 1mbs down or up. He briefly had a 4g connection and still couldn't break a meg. Is this normal for Sprint? Is there anything he could do to increase his speed or better his connection?
And its not like we're in a low service area.. here in central FL outside of Orlando pretty much all the big carriers are here in full strength.
Thanks for your input guys.
3G is pretty much garbage everywhere but in Florida 4g should be at least 5 MBps Down or higher
