[Q] LTE Radio - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I just saw where T-Mobile just launched its first LTE cities, does this phone have a LTE capable radio?

No, it does not.

Negative ghostrider.

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

Well, just like H+, speeds will vary by location

Thats like 7.5mB so nah
Ok, that is a nice speed test. But there's no reason to be such a braggerd (Especially to start a new thread).
You are in kb's not mb's. I consistently get 30mbps in SF.
That works out to about 56-57Mbps down
Yeah that's 56-57 MBs down lol

software problem? can't believe it test speed is under 4G as not 4G LTE.
I'm on a rom that changes the letters and takes away LTE ultimatum rom.
The area that I'm at literally JUST got LTE...so there's like nobody on it..rofl. that's why the speeds are so high

I get consistently over 50mb dl and 18mb ul in san Diego. These speeds will slowly decline as the network grows and number of lte devices increase.

Well, you sure don't win with that 114ms ping time though. But good speeds

In Chicago I only get near 10mbps download speed

This is in New Orleans yesterday which supposedly got LTE not too long ago
and here are my speeds 10 minutes away from the airport in Houston today.
Dunno if it matters, but my hotel room in New Orleans was on the 4th floor, and the Houston speeds are from just now on the 1st floor.

[Q] Why is my AT&T LTE increadibly slow?

Status bar says I have 4G LTE but 5mbs? I've seen other people well beyond 30mbs.. 5mbs seems more like HSPA+..

Probably just the area. My HSpa+ speeds are so erratic lately.. sometimes I only get like 50kb per sec its horrible.. att needs to step it up and upgrade the network.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Some ROMs take away 4g.. I don't know about the ROM you're currently on, but mine has said I have 4G when I was really limited to 3G. I know this isn't much help, but I've had similar encounters and it was the ROM I was running.

It says LTE:14.
Just wondering for those with good speeds, which baseband are you running? I'm on I747UCLH9. And I hadn't had high download speeds since I flashed it.

Problems with 3g data

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.

Is this 4g lte?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
No. But it's a good speed.
You can check by going into settings, about phone, status and see what network type says.

Example
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.

Data speed question.

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
