Anyone play with this on the Note 3 yet? I know a lot of us are having issues with WiFi connectivity, so this might be a decent tool to help. It does drain more battery though.

what phone should I get? I was thinking about the Galaxy Nexus or the S3. and the new Photon 4 G L T E is definitely out of the question since they lock that down tight! I'm kind of leaning towards S3. I would like to get to peoples thoughts and opinions on this before I make the decision. since I don't have any of these phones.

actually I have two upgrades available, 1 now and 1 in about 45 days, I'm kinda nervous about getting the Nexus because I've heard of receiving issues for the antenna, S3 seems like the safest bet.

No. I can personally attest to the fact that the GPS on the S3 is very, very good. I don't know what you mean by the surf antenna, but I do know that it utilizes GLONASS. Locks consistently in under 3 seconds, accuracy within 6 feet most of the time.

I have a couple co workers that have the s3, one on Verizon and one on Sprint and its pretty damn awesome. We travel for work so I had the one who has Sprint use GPS and it seems to work great along with great battery life on a bigger better screen. And he gets faster download speeds too. I'm personally holding out for the next Nexus which should be here this fall hopefully or close to the holidays, but you have another upgrade coming so you are good. One good thing to do is just go to the store and play with them as long as you want then maybe wait a day or two, to be sure.

So today at my highschool I got the password to their wifi. First thing I did was download some roms of from here and my friend has an iphone we both downloaded a file that is 300mb and his was about 2MB/s while mine was stuck at 100kbps/s. Any reason to this ? Any way to fix this?
What was your download source? Lots, but not all, file hosts throttle speeds way down.
You're better off using a speed test website (not an app) to compare to an iphone.

It was mediafire his iphone is jailbroken and he just downloads any file really fast.compared to me.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
No problem wit the wifi speed on android.. May be he is using some app to increase the speed.. Try to chek the net speed next Tim.
I checked once again right now and he isnt using anything and still getting 2 to 3 mbps on download while im getting 100 to 200kbps
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
It may be your settings. In advanced wifi menu is it set to Always stay connected? If not it may turn off during deep sleep.
Also, I've heard of lots of corporate type networks (schools included) where android just didn't didn't work as well as other systems. I'm not sure why though. Its possibke that his is connecting using N standard and you're connecting using G....just a thought.
Try doing the same tests from your home or other open network and see if your results change. I consistantly get 15-20Mbps down and 3-4Mbps up with peaks up to 30 down 6 up. So I certainly wouldn't call it slow! (Mid signal btw).
I can get faster when I'm connected at 5Ghz, 40Mhz.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Those low speeds are not the norm. Try downloading something from another source. Your friend may have a mediafire account which will unthrottle the download speeds
Same at my home my bro has an ipod touch and I tested yesterday and got 200kbps - 300kbps on my s3 and he got 1.5mb im not using the speedtest app im just measuring how fast the downloads go. Is this an android problem because I have an evo 3d and the same thing happens as well

No issues for me. WiFi connects to our home n router and my schools WiFi no issues. Very fast at my school and same speed on my home router. Not to mention when browsing home computer files and downloading speeds reach to 5 megabytes a second. I'd say hardware issue. Not really sure what else it could be. Doc already said everything else

I've noticed the same thing, it seems like sometimes it just intermittently doesn't want to transfer. I have to refresh to get it to transfer. Guess I'll reset my router, but that doesn't seem like it helps much if I don't own the router wherever I'm at..

I think once the "home" router is reset, you'll be fine. As for the routers elsewhere, most places reset them periodically or are on a schedule...my home router has that feature.
Never reset mine as its in the neighbors house and I dont think theyd like me going in their house to reset their router. Long story short after awhile its working perfect now. So maybe just some patience is key.

Question, are there any roms out there that have a better quality hot spot /wifi tether than others or is this feature just generally poor on this phone?
The reason I am asking is that my original evo had great hot spot quality. I drive back and forth from Houston to San Antonio and with the evo my wife would be able to be connected and work on her laptop the whole way. With this phone she can't.

No not at all just turn it on. Uses your phone number as password but you can change that. Treves has a lot more settings and configuration. This is the sprint hot spot and you just turn the switch to on.

I completely agree, but I thought it mentioned he was having trouble with it. I haven't used either much, but they both seemed to work equally as well when I did use them. The native hotspot is easier to use too.
Driving back to Houston right now and trying to use the native Hotspot. It says the laptop is connected but we're not able to access the Internet. Any suggestions?

Tried to connect using a tablet, same thing, it connects to the phone but no Internet access. Maybe it's just that the phone doesn't have a strong enough signal, hard to believe the signal on my old evo was stronger than on this phone.

My note 3 is still right out of the box, (my second I should mention I returned the 1st) first thing I noticed was the buggy god it wouldn't lock on and stick, it would just jump around my general area. Second is the LTE speed, now before the note 3 I got the s4 and on a torrent download I would get 2.2mbs my note 3 highest speed on the same torrent wasn't able to get above 1.1 mbp (this is with full LTE network bars NOT 4G ((with out LTE that u sometimes get)).)

some people have had these problems from what i've seen in the forums.
I myself had a buggy gps which fixed after i flashed darkstalker rom
I havn't checked on the Torrent problem in a while but i think it was unresolved and some people just get slow speeds with torrents only.
My cousin also had this problem so we went to a shop and let the tech fix it. He's afraid to fix it by himself hehe

Torrent downloading is different at different times, depends on the ratio, if you're complaining about 1.1mb download speed, then you should kill yourself
I have weaker signal than my note 2-
and buggy gps... it likes to just make the icon disappear and then 10 seconds later comes back sometimes it does it over and over and over others it decides to work...

You must be retarded the exact same torrent on the exact same network in the exact same location on the exact time of day with the exact type of service bars and one is going twice as fast as the other ? And no I'm complaining about paying 700 bucks for a phone and 200 bucks for a network that isn't working right and not giving me the speeds I want so no I won't kill my self I'd think any one would do the same and try to correct the issue

Just to to enlighten your moronic retarded self, torrents speeds do with alot more then "ratio" there are legions of factors that effect torrent speed and iv tweaked all of them and still a torrent with 10000 seeds and 500 leaches won't go above 20kbps now while my s4 and s3 are going well above 1.1 mbps there is something wrong with the note 3 I simple want to know if there is a way to fix it
