My data is horrible recently! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

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.

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.

Looks like none of my friends in my area have tmobile.
I'm still getting roughly 50kbps at home and 15mbps at work.. Smh

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.

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

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

Latest update, prl, and profile update? This is probably dumb question though. I can actually see the tower I'm connecting to. Last I heard, San Antonio is only about 25% complete.
Edit: I also disabled automatic connections under mobile networks. Not sure that has anything to do with it though.

Your LTE experience may well improve after applying the LG8 update. It includes an important fix to the logic governing when the handset will connect and/or disconnect from an LTE tower. You and all the others trying to test LTE service in the newly "launched" LTE markets need to understand this. In several scattered but related threads in this forum, it is apparent that the commenters reporting their LTE experience are mostly ignorant.
Users in places such as San Antonio, Houston, DFW, Atlanta, etc. who are trying LTE with this phone have faced two problems:
The markets were officially "launched" July 15 with only a small fraction of their towers ready for LTE, although work continues on the build-out.
The new LTE handsets, including the GS3, needed OTA fixes to change the signal-strength threshold governing LTE connections. Without the fix, phones can only get or hold an LTE connection that is quite strong.
The second factor just multiplies the damage caused by the first.
I have tested my GS3 in a city that has its LTE network substantially built-out (Waco). Before applying the LG8 update, even where the LTE signal was very strong, the phone did not connect. After the update, I found LTE service all over town.
p.s. If you really want to understand and track the LTE rollout, go to S4GRU.com, which focuses on this matter exclusively and knowledgeably.

4) Tried a few over the years, non have worked. Maybe someone can recommend me something?
5) Staten Island
I will say there are some areas in S.I. that have good data speeds...just not mine. Every other carrier but Sprint has good data speeds in my area.

LJ7 Leak Modem/Baseband/Radio
LJ7 Leaked ROM
Can easily pull down well over 2 Mb/s in downtown Manhattan (Battery Park) late at night, and around 1.7 Mb/s average. Can also pull down around 2 Mb/s in Nassau county, LI on average. Where I live in Queens, 400 Kb/s average.
No tweaks or scripts of any kind. Personally don't believe they work.
I travel from Queens to Manhattan at least once a week, and have noticed that speeds in NYC seem to depend on network load. I generally get much better speeds late at night.
I've been getting a good 1-3mbps on 3g

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.

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?

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.

Thanks man. I wanted to see what LTE configuration T-Mobile is running in AZ. They're mostly 37mbps capable 2x5Mhz, but by looking at your speedtest and the upload speeds, you may be 2x10Mhz which is 73mbps capable!
Look forward to your LTE ServiceMode screens

I would totally care but sprint doesn't seem to care about the Denver area. Theres wimax in like a 10 block radius and promises for years we'd get more.... Now they're switching to lte and more promises but for the last 3 years its always been their sucky 3g

Same here in Salt Lake. Sucky/spotty 4g. No LTE in sight.
But at least I'm paying for someone to have lte. Cuz it sure ain't me.

Phoenix is the same way. Promises after promises. Now it doesn't look like we get even basic 4g for years yet. Stuck with 3g on the maybe eventually network.

VA area near TN, Pretty good 4g with a chance of LTE every now and again.
Hate to say it but I do miss Verizon service.

You can manually write whatever PRL you want with DFS CDMA Tool & a PC, regardless of which ROM you're on.

you have a link for that program? Would be pretty cool I'd we had someone fix the CDMA tools app or make us an easy "one click" sprint prl/profile updater.. If there is one already phase forgive the noobness....

To be able to connect to DFS you need to have DIAG mode enabled, and its only available in Stock roms and ASOP

I was in SLC last month and had solid 4g in the neighborhood above the capitol. Didn't go too far from there so I can't speak to other areas.
I've literally traveled all over America due to being in a touring metal band, and I can honestly say that 1. Sprint's service ****ing SUCKS ****. And 2. 4G LTE is extremely spotty. Luckily at home here in Baltimore I have 4G all over, but anywhere other than the east coast, you're lucky to get LTE. I had great service when I was in Denver earlier this summer, but no 4G whatsoever if I recall correctly (And I don't, because Colorado is a... "Medical" state. )

You must have been in the 20 ft circle of 4g coverage.

I lol'ed at the your description of how Sprint's service sucks...especially since I generally agree. But down here in Dallas, I get pretty great LTE coverage. I think because we were one of the first markets to launch LTE. In some places in town I get 30MB+ download speed so I cant complain. But in the outskirts of town and suburbs...it isnt nearly that good but I'll still usually be able to connect to LTE.

I've got to take care of a couple things this morning, but when I'm done (probably about 2 hours) I'll post a full write-up.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I flashed a stock rom to get the updated PRL. Looks good. What's different about it?
Also, I get pretty decent 4G coverage in Houston, Texas with Sprint, even out to the suburbs on the north side. It's not nearly as fast as the service I had with verizon, though, but it is at least consistent.
Once you get past the city limits on the east or south, though, both 3G and 4G get iffy.
I have awsome Sprint Airave coverage at home.
I hope someone makes a app like RoamControl that works with our Optimus G so my phone will work outside of my house.
