No 4G Service/Signal On Sprints Galaxy Nexus?

Why isn't there 4G service/signal with sprints galaxy nexus but there is with Verizon's galaxy nexus?I noticed that I had my galaxy nexus on cdma but I switched it to lte/cdma,would that make a difference?

Its because Sprint hasn't launched their LTE network, and when they do it'll be in very limited markets. Don't get your hopes up expecting consistent LTE any time soon.
This is why I find it hilarious that Sprint is selling LTE phones, when honestly a large portion of their customers will not see LTE in the next year...

Absolutely. I'm on T-Mobile and the speeds are great. Better than my WiMax I had on Sprint. Even EDGE on T-Mobile is faster than Sprint 3G.

Another +1 for T-Mobile!

I think you're in the minority among Sprint users, most are experiencing abysmal speeds. And even at those relatively high Sprint speeds, T-Mobile pushes about 4x that.

Are your speeds that good during the day? I get awesome speedtests in the middle of the night too. But speeds are like 200-300 kpbs during the day.

Yes.

Are T-Mobile speeds good like that everywhere? Also, how is the coverage, particularly California. I have checked the coverage map and feel like they lie about it. If there map is correct, it says they have better coverage than Verizon in my are, which I no is not correct...

T-Mobile speeds are generally pretty solid everywhere in the country (as in, when you have service the speeds are great). Their network has a solid backend and honestly not that many customers (about 1/3 the customers of AT&T or Verizon). The speeds are good. Even at bad times they clobber Sprint. A solid EDGE connection on T-Mobile beats Sprint's 3G based on the #'s I see.

You actually think Verizon has better coverage than T-Mobile everywhere in the country? Believe it or not, Verizon does not have the best coverage the entire country over. No one company is perfect lol.

I think it is perfectly fine too, but I have had sprint for 10 years and have nothing to compare it too
In a LTE market now and WOW have I been getting the old one eye from sprint previously!

I feel sorry for a lot of Sprint users that get dialup speeds. Lucky for me I get 1mb plus all day long, this morning I pulled over 2mb. I have been told that all wireless carriers here share the same internet connections. I know whatever I get on Speed test, so do my fam members on VZW or ATT.

Sprint's 3G is horrible. Up until 2 years ago, I was regularly getting about 1Mbps, good for CDMA. At $30/month on Sero, I was happy. Then it started slowing down. When I finally left I was regularly getting < 100Kbps and to top it off I was paying $50/month because I had an E4gT.
I am now on prepaid paying $50/month, getting 4-8 Mbps and happy.

Straight Talk data speed test In Brooklyn?

Hey I'm thinking about switching to straight talk(atnt) from my current 5gb/100mins $30 t mobile monthly 4g plan.
The reason is because T-Mobile is very slow in my area of Brooklyn and I want to know if anyone can tell me their data speeds in Brooklyn. I have a T-Mobile galaxy s3 which is unlocked.
Thanks

I would find out first if it is even possible to run 4Gfrom a T Mobile phone on the AT&T network. The reason i say this i know they have been unable to even get a connection to 3g to work on AT&T SG3's on the T Mobile network. There is a bounty thread on this here, which the last time i read into it was thought to not even be possible. That would make me wonder if what you are thinking of doing is feasible.

I've been reading around. The T-Mobile galaxy s3 supports atnt hspa+ network. But the atnt version doesn't support the T-Mobile hspa+ network because it runs on a different frequency.

I have an unlocked Galaxy S3 with Straight Talk (AT&T) in Manhattan.. The speeds are downright despicable!! I never get more than 2mb down and 1 up... I just bounce off of remembered wifi's all day with Juice Defender..

Galaxy Note 2 N7100 on T-Mobile's HSPA+ Refarm Speeds Inside!

Well, after getting tired of AT&T Data Throttling me to Edge speeds, And knowing that coverage is not 100% in my area, I went ahead and got the 69.99 Monthly Unlimited Everything Plan from T-Mobile ( I Was on ATT's Grandfathered in Unlimited plan etc cost around $120-130 Month) Now I'ts just $69.99.
Here are the results Keep in mind speeds will improve as coverage does as well. It's very sensitive at the moment if I move a few feet away signals lower and speeds vary depending on where I'm standing And in Certain parts of my house I have Edge, But if I move towards the bedrooms or living room it just picks up HSPA+ (Yeah it's funny how 20-50 feet make a huge difference) but it's very encouraging to say the least I expect when it's fully re farmed to be getting 15-20mbps down!
And without further a due here they are!

You won't get 20mbps down. It's too close to the Note II's theoretical peak 21mbps HSPA+. 15mbps may be possible though.

Well I'm just touching 12mbps now, I'll keep testing this as time goes on and network improves and see where I end up. However like AT&T is worthless now I was getting 3-4 and now I'm getting constant 9-12mbps at half the price And no throttling.

Not sure if you have/want to post your findings there! Every time I check the site, it seems like a new pointer pops up to a new location!

That sounds good. I live in NYC and I am thinking about pulling the trigger on the international version. But I am not sure that I could live with 2G service most of the time. If it were a little bit of H+ and then 3G the rest of the time, I think I could live with it.
In any case, i'm gonna wait and see what price I can get the T-mobile version for.

wait... I thought N7100 does not support the AWS band for voice?
Can someone please confirm if the N7100 supports AWS?
Thx

The Int'l Note 2 does not support 1700mhz AWS, correct. T-Mobile is, however, in the process of moving their HSPA+ service off of 1700mhz AWS over to 1900mhz instead so that they can use the (soon to be) old 1700mhz AWS band for LTE service.

Heres mine

Nice Virus,
I went ahead today and bought a T-Mobile branded version to see the difference in speeds, and At home My n7100 on the 1900 band beat it. I drove around and the highest I got was 15. However that same area is not yet re-farmed. So I'm returning the t-Mobile branded version and keeping my N7100 I Just had to compare both devices

Yes moving 4G to the 1900 band was a good idea. Now a lot international phone will get 4G insead of 2G. I made the switch coming from AT&T cause now I dont need to. Had the Quad one x so I don't miss lte plus. Well have lte soon anyway. I always buy the latest and gratest phones but I think im a one phone man now. Thanks Samsung.

T-Mobile....meh..
I was a long time customer of T-mobile, had the HTC Amaze 4G and Galaxy S2 on T-Mobile.
Saw speeds up to 15-17mbps in some very few parts, but the thing was.... it loaded pages and generally felt slower browsing and using the web than my friend's equivalent S2 on ATT and he only saw 3-5mbps in probably 90 percent of the locations we went to. Something was up with that...
When T-mobile is fast...it's very fast (which is very rare), but when it's slow, it's VEEEEERRRRY SLOW which was most all places.
Anyways, I'm very happy with my international GT-N7100 on ATT's HSPA.

Wow

I bought a gn2 unlocked off craigslist for $450.00 cash.
Purchased a solavei wireless sim card.
60 bucks a month no throttle after any amount of data used.
Great coverage averaged 14 mbps down. Hmm with speeds like these hard to see how sprint stays with these guys.
For the first time in years I have been thinking of bouncing. From sprint to another Carrier . The blazing data speeds have me mezmerized. Solavei rides on tmobiles network. But at that price it may be worth a switch.
Bought the 2nd gn2 for a work phone. Gonna wait and see if sprint builds out the lte network in my area. But it's sad when I go back to my sprint gn2 and speeds won't pay 512 kbps on average.

I did the post just for you.
Honestly your best rebuttal would have been not to post.
Wasnt about how crappy sprints 3g is. But more about how fast tmobiles network is.
Been a sprint customer 15 years nothing new to me.
Hopefully the softbank acquisition helps Fix that.
And the post is phone related its a phone forum.

HSUPA+ compared to EVDO lol. If HDUPA+ on tmobile was always 14-15mbs download then they would have no need to roll out LTE. Thing is HSUPA+ cant maintain that speed.
Uh... nvm I am not going to explain... congrats on your unlimited highspeed data through tmobile.

HSPA+ ? Trust me even still in the dfw areas it's good averages 6 to 15Mbps. They don't need to roll out lte but normal consumers don't understand differences between 4g technology. And t mobile is truly using 3g but when pushed to its ultimate limits it hits 4g like speeds. But they don't people that obviously.but that's why gsm is so much better than cdma and other stuff too lol

Is Tmobile still "unlimited" - 5-10GBs then throttled to hell or is it like Sprint's unlimited?

I have tmobile and one of their major slogans sort of is "the only truly unlimited data plan". Ive used like 30 gigs of data the month I have owned my note 2 and have never been throttled. Usually get around 27mb 19 down. I notice no change in speed.

No they have a plan that's 5 and 10Gb with hotspot that's throttled but if you get the unlimited 4g plan it's cheaper and better setting how we can all get hotspot for free.

If Sprint were to release EvDo RevB or even RevC, it'd pull speeds of up to 30mbps, too. Problem is, lte becoming the new standard, it'll evolve the fastest and its cost efficient for Sprint in the long run (also cost efficient for any carrier.) This is why everyone's going to lte.

GSM certainly has its advantages, that's why I was with T-mobile previously. The HSPA is getting pretty fast at it's peak, but there are so many times when you don't get those numbers if you are in a heavily used area.
Having said that, I switched to Sprint because they are implementing the next wave of GSM (READ: LTE-A) before T-mobile will be finished with their GSM network (Read: HSPA+42)
