I'm currently in Gilbert, AZ and I still get ~10mbps on the tests.
On another note, does anyone else have lag in the Speed Test app when running the test?
When I hit "begin test" it gives me a ping of 58ms connected to either Phoenix or Tempe but then when the dial goes up it freezes then becomes sluggish again. This only happens to the download one (the upload one is a constant movement, no sluggishness).
Thanks.
Guess it not on in Phoenix yet .:/ I will check tempe also when I go to class today

Could you please look at your APN settings, tap on it, and scroll down and see if it says at the bottom IPv4 or IPv4/IPv6?
Also, dial *#0011# and take a screenshot. I'd love to see if T-Mobile is deploying 2x10Mhz there since your upload indicates that! Most markets are 2x5Mhz.
Thanks and congrats!!!
I got 20.96 down on HSPA+ in Austin today. Waiting for LTE, just need for that Dallas LTE to bleed south.

Do you mean normal for Jacksonville or normal for LTE? As far as LTE, I guess it varies...Like I live in a spotty LTE area right now and pull anywhere between 5-9mbps but when I go down near Jerome Ave in the Bronx, I'm always pulling 20's. Today I got 33.29mbps in that same neighborhood. We'll all get there...hopefully sooner than later.

LTE is very signal strength dependent. EvDo RevA's (Sprint's 3G) speeds don't deteriorate unless it reaches a very low signal threshold. Next time you connect to the LTE site at Publix, open up your debugging menu and screenshot the LTE engineering screen and post it here.
With 6mbps, you have a rather low (-110dBm to -115 dBm signal strength). If your signal strength is high, then you should experience better speeds.

Sprint's in a position where they simply don't have the spectrum to deploy anything greater than a 5x5mhz carrier per market. This means LTE speeds will max out at about 38mbps, and even this is under extremely favorable conditions.
But worry not for Clearwire alone has more spectrum than Verizon does, and Clearwire, starting mid-2013 will be deploying LTE advanced on a 20x20mhz carrier! This means speeds will be up to 90mbps. Hang in there because even with Sprint's LTE maxing out at 38mbps, it's still very fast and the best part...unlimited.

But since LTE will be on every tower unlike the other carriers, there will be less people on each LTE carrier than the other guys.
And do you really need higher than 35 megabits on your phone... hell no. I'd be happy with 3 or 4!

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.

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?

i used to pull down 40-60mbps in the metro atlanta area on my old LTE skyrocket but on my note 2, i've been averaging 15-20mbps. other cities i've traveled to, i was seeing 30+.
i got the skyrocket right at launch and it was samsung's first at&t LTE phone so i'm guessing that the network's bandwidth was hardly being used but with the iphone 5, gs3, and note 1 & 2, there's a lot more congestion which is driving the speeds way down.

I had this problem when I first got my NoteII. I was coming from a NON LTE device so when I switched the phone they didn't put me on a LTE plan. If you are in a good area where they have LTE give AT&T a call and make sure you are on a LTE plan. Also if you are on a custom ROM you may have the wrong APN settings.
On LTE I am getting 55 down 35 up all times of day.

That looks like HSPA to me. Speeds are consistent with HSDPA and short of typical HSUPA. That and your signal indicator shows H+.

I can't believe you are getting speeds like that in LA- I took a trip to Irvine a few months ago and couldn't get more than 3mbs. I am so used to the speeds in Reno that range from 9mbs-19mbs consistently, I was so frustrated! How entitled we are now. I remember when 1.5mbs was FAST! I can't wait to try out true LTE, already my data speeds are faster on "4g" than my WiFi connection at home.
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'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?

Did you notice an improvement when you went back to the old modem?
What I don't understand is after the lte update, I was still getting good speeds till recently.

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.

Already tried the old apn in the other thread. No luck.
I'm thinking a tower issue, but I guess it's not? Tmobile contacted me today saying the towers around my area look good. So, there going to recheck since I get great data speeds everywhere else

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.

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

Try add old tmobile apn and chose auto 4g/3g/2g they change data speed on mine.

Mm
Yes. Because we don't change the modem, just switch back and forth apn if in the are have lte tower just switch to lte apn (the original one).
This just my experience though.

Dial *#2263# and then under WCDMA choose the 1900 band.
