I'm Sad. Problem with torrent apps.. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

So full bars of T-Mobile LTE here at work is a dream to download files with.
I usually use Ttorrent pro with my past devices and I would download files at 1.5-2mb per second on LTE.
After getting my Note 3, it seems like all torrent programs max out at a pathetic 14-20 kb/s and average 3-5 kb/s. Hello dial-up speeds!
I tried downloading all the other popular torrent apps and I would get the same result. Bitcoment, utorrent, atorrent ect.
Tried factory resetting the phone, same results.
Put my sim card in my Note 2 for ****s and giggles and low and behold, downloading at 1.5-2 mb/s. Wow.
Is this an issue with 4.3 Android or did Samsung put up some firewall of some sorts crippling my torrent downloads.
I'm Sad.

I have the same problem idk why.

Count me in as well. Mine does the same thing. Overall, this phone seems to have pretty horrible radios. I know that's not the same problem as you, but it might be something thats causing it. On average this phone gets 20-30db less than any other phone I've used.

Add me to that list. I actually got 40 kbps and I was in shock

Yeah I noticed the radio was much stronger on my LG G2. I would get a very good LTE signal at my home on the G2, (which also seemed to have the most bad ass radio on any phone I've used), I thought I was on Verizon for a minute lol.
On my Note 3 I would get 1 to zero bars and it would jump between H+ and LTE at home.
Well if anybody finds a solution to this torrent issue, please do post it. I want to go back to using 40-50GB of T-Mobile unlimited data a month.
Attached is my average download speeds at work.

use torguard and also try ipv4 apn

Me too man. Using t torrent pro and get horrible speeds but have Lte 25 down

I'm using a Bell one in Canada on bell. Ttorent at great speeds. I'm responding cause I'm getting a T-Mobile note 3 to use in Canada. Once I get it, I'll let you guys know (order gets here Monday).

I'm using aTorrent with PIA VPN and getting above 1 MB/s speeds. Perhaps adding "admin" to the APN type would help, but I haven't tested it for torrents, only for vpn.

would be nice to get to the bottom of this definitely making unlimited high speed data less cool.
Then there is the crappy lte reception at my house..

Do you get significantly better speeds downloading over wifi? I have the same horrid download speeds whether I use wifi or lte.

At first I thought it was only with lte but it's the same terrible speeds on wifi also. I'm thinking it has something to do with Knox.

At least it's not just me... Unfortunately this is a dealbreaker for me. My trusty Note II never had this problem...

I just downloaded at 1MBps using ttorrent
I even used a proxy, which might be why

Im having problems with the connections also, even my skype doesnt stay connected and every time I download an app from playstore it takes forever. Had the g2 before and had no problems. Still have the s4 I put the sim card there and use it and no problems. This is only with the note 3.

FYI using bittorent not having any issue ls on wifi or lte. I'm rooted and on darthstalker v2.
Downloaded the lone ranger 1.25gb files on wifi in my girls house she has like 50th down and 25 up and my phone took advantage downloading at about 7mb/s faster than what my computer at home downloads it. I was so surprised I went ahead and streamed it to her x box straight from my phone just to show off some more.
Not sure why everyone else is having issues. Also downloaded a 45min episode of a show on lte from her house where speeds are 20mbps down and 2 up. This was slower but more on the standards of what my pc at home does.
Haven't modified any apn or vpn or abc xyz

Stock unrooted here. I have been hoping to be satisfied with the phone as is, but am not hsppy with it at this point. I have always rooted and run custom ROMs before and msy go that route now, but this has soured my opinion of this otherwise great device.

Slow 3G?

I'm going f'n mad. How can my 3G be so slow with over half my bars lit up...
Accessing websites is slow, downloading is slow. I don't get it. I can barely break 30 KB/s. I'm ready to throw this POS in the trash, it's a waste of money paying for data and premium data at that when it's slower than snot.
Anyone experiencing the same? In OKC.
Yep, phone is a POS.....
Have you tried updating your PRL / PRI?
How about you give some details?
PRI?

Do you get the same results on another ROM?
Do you get the same results in another area?
How much data have you used this billing period?
Same issue with me. Called Sprint tonight andsaid I was going to leave for t-mobile. Said I would sell evo for 300 on ebay to pay for cancellation. They covered next months bill (150) and an airave. I am now using the roaming hack (prl 31005) and if they kick me off then I will go to T-Mobile.

Call them. It's the network. I'm days into it with an executive. Basically been field testing and reporting areas that suck. Contact sprint otherwise they'd never know
I haven't experienced any problems here. Love my rooted Evo!
At my home I get pathetic 3g speeds, maybe 100 kbps or so, but for whatever reason the 4g is stronger than anywhere else in the country I've been. Consistenly 8-9 Mbps. Is that common, an almost non-existent 3g connection but an awesome 4g connection? Needless to say I'm on 4g all the time at home.
I need help!! I have flashed myns Fls5 and the 4g connects but doesn't load web pages . It gets stuck all the time . I've downloaded adfree and have the updated radios. 3g works great . I've tried to search for this but no help so far thanks

Might be a long shot but do the 3G connection fix.

Also I had this issue in NYC where it slowed to a crawl on 3G to the point where it wouldn't even load google.com
I flashed another ROM and everything was good but one thing I did notice was when I did a speed test using Speedtest it said the closest server was in the UK for all the tests I ran that day. I was pretty baffled by that.
So unless Sprint is routing all of their connections to the UK, they are just lagging. Try another ROM and if its the same deal and you have everything updated, call and flip out.
Do the 3g connection fix a couple posts up/back.
Check what rom you have. If you have a rom with adfree in it, then install it and uninstall the application from the market. Then reboot.
I'm actually getting better speeds now that I moved to a different rom. Weird, eh?
Myn's was giving me trouble with that because of adfree.

I've been having this problem for months now, while my friends evo doesnt have this problem, and none of the evos at the sprint store do. But mine does, along with many people here. Ive had the phone replaced 6 times, so obviously its not a hardware problem.
I have spent MANY MANY hours on the phone with sprint, and the executives have basically told me, unless 100 people or more have the same problem in the area, they wont send anyone out to check the network. Since apparantly I'm the only one in my area with this problem, they refuse to send anyone out.

My galaxy s II has been going unbelievably slow.. 0.02 mbps, the most i've gotten is 9 mbps and that was ONCE when i opened my phone.. is there any idea why my phones so slow? It is rooted, but running stock 2.3.6
Are you using the latest sim card (one that came with the phone?) and your wifi calling works? My data speeds jumped from 7mbps to to 11 mbps as soon as I used the newer sim card.

Weird...
Try a speed test at night, at night I can get 15MBPS, 19 max...
During the day I average 3-4 and get 6 MAX.
It's terrible during the day.
Those are exactly throttle speeds. .06 mbps. You sure you're good on data? This has happened to me too though when I hadn't gone over. When my account was transferred from a consumer line to a dealer line I started randomly getting throttle speeds or slower. No phone rep could figure out what was wrong, I went through several SIM's, and even did a warranty exchange on the phone. Eventually my tmo rep did something on the back end and the problem went away. I wish I knew what he did so I could make a recommendation. Either way, good luck.

Rogers download speeds

I'm currently on Rogers Canada right now. I have the Gnex NON-LTE version. I've been doing speedtests on my device and I've constantly been getting around 250kB/s, usually less. There are a couple times where I reached 850kB/s but most of the time just 250 which is quite slow. I've tested this in open areas.
The baseband it came with is UGKL1. I've been downloading stuff and usually I get around 250kb/s or even slower.
I now switched to the newer radio UGLA4. I am getting about the same results. Once or twice I did speedtests and got 640kb/s.
My feeling is that its Rogers network that's constantly giving me poor download speeds. Does anyone else have faster speeds with non-LTE Gnex on rogers? Any solutions? I've looked around but to no avail.
I just tested mine (Rogers Network) and I was getting a consistent 1mb/s upload and download. I do however at the moment have a good quality hspa connection.

That's not the LTE version right? What baseband are you using and where are you located in canada? I'm in the Vancouver region.
I think I partially figured out the reason why I'm getting slow speeds. I'm currently using AOKP ROM (milestone 4). There's a power saver setting where if I'm idle for a certain amount time (ie 10mins) it turns my connection to 2G. Yes I set that up. Once I wake my device it turns 3G/HSDPA back on. However going into the secret menu (*#*#4636#*#*) I noticed that the preferred network type is set on "GSM/CDMA auto". This is likely the be the issue, if I want HSDPA it should be set on WCDMA. Now I've set that to WCDMA Preferred. Doing a speed test I'm getting speeds of 400-500kb/s. That's a drastic improvement. However upload remains to be the same at around 150kb/s. However keeping the power saving option it reverts back to the "GSM/CDMA auto" after idle time.
I don't think I have quite solved my issue as this device should be about to download/upload at faster speeds. I'm going to change back to my old baseband and see. Please let me know the details about your phone, thanks!
Edit: I see you're from PEI. Let me know your baseband still, thanks!
That doesn't sound like a radio problem, sounds more like a tower problem. Have you triend driving around ant testing your signals in different places? I usually get between 2,5 and 9mps in and around montreal. Where did you try? Were your four signal bars on with the H and the arrow?

Yes I have. I get about the same results. I have tried both open areas and inside buildings. I just reinstalled old radio and my speeds with WCDMA only enabled gets me about 300+kB/s.
Just to clarify my kB/s or kb/s is kilobytes for seconds (not bits).
I doubt we should be having tower problems in Vancouver though....
So I tried driving around more with the new baseband I got about 1000kB/s. Upload was still slow at around 200kB/s. Any reason why? I found some people believe that rogers caps the limit but still too low for me.
Could possibly be your carrier throttling the speed? For most users 250kbs is more than enough.
I have the gsm version and live in the UK. If I get 2.5mb download speeds over HSPA I consider it fast!

I'm on Bell, I get between 6-9Mbps down and 2.5-3.5Mbps up consistently.
Yea it's been pretty much up and down for me. Most of the time I get around 500kbyte/s and around 230 indoor. Upload is just pure crap for me outside or in. I've been getting around 150-200kbyte/s, mostly 160ish. Sometimes I even get 80kB/s. This is a problem and I don't know if its the phone or just poor coverage. I'm leaning towards poor coverage as I did manage to get a fast 900kbyte/s download and 250kbyte/s upload.
To those moving to mobilicty, honestly the coverage with them is worse. I can't stand dropped calls. I have friends who are on both wind and mobilicity and they tell me about the dropped calls. I sometimes have to make important calls and dropped calling is a nono. They can deal with it but for me I can't.
I've been with Mobilicity for just over a year now and I have never once had a dropped call. Coverage is poor though I've just never been on a call with poor coverage I guess. Basically if you stay editing the gta minus oakville you will have no problems

Yea I am using it on AT&T. My speeds are on avg 3-5mbs down load and 1 upload. I can get 6-9mbs down load at night some times and in a few places was able to get over 2mbs upload, but that's rare. The highest download speed I ever got was 12mbs download and 2.6mbs upload.
Sadly even with 21mbs H+ built in the phone, AT&T only uses H+ 14/7mbs. So that really sucks. But on the good side I have gone over 100GB two times with out issue. No throttling or any of that.
On avg I really only use 5-20GB a month, I only used the 100GB when my ISP failed me. ( Screw you time warner Cable, will be glad to be rid of you soon.)

WiFi Speed Slow

I have 45 Mbps WiFi service here at the house and can verify this over and over with speed tests on my computer and they continually report 40-45 Mbps consistently. On my HTC One I only see like 12-20 Mbps at most when connected to the same WiFi and the same distance to the router. My buddies iPhone sees the full bandwidth of the wireless connection. Has anyone else experienced this? Fixes? I am not rooted and completely stock other than apps.
I have 50+ internet service and have no issues maxing it out with my phone. Have you disabled the "Wifi oltimization" under the advanced settings of wifi? If not, try that, mine is unchecked. Note that having it unchecked does use more power.
Here are my speed test results. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/691833801

I had it enabled on my phone. I disabled it and checked the speed. Started off at 23 Mbps then throttled back to 16 Mbps. My Wife has the same phone and I checked her's. She gets the same results. I checked my work laptop right now (Window 7 machine) and got 42 Mbps. I checked my Macbook Pro and got 40 Mbps. Something with these phones isn't allowing the full speed. What doesn't make sense is the fact iPhones work great.
I have Comcast 50 download speed an all 3 of my HTC ones get 55+ always an my hardline devices get 60.

I don't know if you found a solution, but I stumbled upon one tonight...I was having the same issue. The solution sounds weird, but go to settings>location and turn location services off...I did that and instantly hit the speeds my Comcast service advertises.

Ah dang. I wonder why it worked for me...I'm on a 4.4 Rom so I have the on/off toggle at the top right of the location screen...dunno if that makes a difference.

I just hard reset my phone after taking the update to 4.4.2 the other night. This resolved nothing. I did do a speed test and it went to 28 mbps down then throttled back to 15 mbps. I am not sure what the hell is going on here. Only other thing I will try is hooking up my old Wireless N router and see if that communicates better with the phone. If it does then it is something with this new router from AT&T.

Flashed a new Rom and had the same issue. Location services didn't work either...reset my router (it's a pretty crappy one) and that did the trick. Do you have a gateway for uverse? I would definitely put it in bridge mode and hook your router up to it if it is. That's what our IT guy told me to do with my set up and it seems to have better range etc...it's just that I have a POS router hooked up haha.

I reset my old Router (Belkin N+) and hooked that up (used to have my old Uverse gateway hooked up this way) and did a speed test. Same results as before. From what I gather bridge mode isn't enabled on this gateway. It is the new Bonded Pair Modem for use with their Power (45 Mbps) internet service. This is really frustrating the hell out of me.
I was getting the same issue as you are but the only difference is that my fiance's HTC One stock versus mine being rooted stock she was pulling in higher speeds when connected to the same WiFi, when I would start the test it would start out strong and then throttle back down somewhere between 6-9 Mbps when my plan is 50Mbps download and she would be getting 40+ easily ? my has started to catch up now but it's not really consistent. I believe it maybe something to do with my router cause I was at my friends house who also has Comcast and it was pulling faster speeds. But my laptop at home is having no issues with download speeds. This is my most recent speed test I just did about 5 mins ago.

Ended up getting Verizon to let me dump the HTC One and go back to my Galaxy S4. I initially had them allow me to switch from the S4 to the One but now I got them to go back. OMG what a difference. Data is 10X faster on 4G and WIFI hits the full 45mbps of my IWIFI at home. No changes to the router, no resets, just a new different phone.

That sucks you had to switch back to the S4! Haha I'm just playin. I messed around a bit with mine and I'm able to get my max WiFi speed. My coworkers S4 gets slightly slower (not a relevant difference, though) data speeds.

The fastest 4G data speeds I could get with full signal using the One was about 21mbps. I'm at work with 2 bars of 4G and am cruising with 35mbps down. I forgot how much faster this phone was with data. Downtown Houston I pulled in 55mbps down when I had my other one. I'm traveling out of state tomorrow so I can't wait to see how it fairs.

Eek, 21 is pretty slow. I have a feeling it was your phone...I've never pulled that slow in KC. I'm always around 45-50. Either way...at least you've got it worked out!
