Wifi radio - T-Mobile LG G3

Has anyone noticed how bad the Wifi is with G3? Note note 3 was much better.
Sent from my LG-D851 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Wifi on mine is perfect. I just did a speedtest to post a screenshot. I like my G3 however im a huge fan of samsung. I bought this phone cause my note 3 went for a ride in the washer. I was wearing baggy cargo shorts and forgot it was in the side pocket. Still sold it for 150 even though it wouldn't turn on. The Amazon buyer was aware of what happened. I have no complaints with my G3. Still getting the Note 4 though.

I'm getting a much stronger signal at home compared to my N5. Speed even at the edges of my coverage are noticeably faster. Biggest improvement is in the 5 ghz range.

That's not what I meant. I am more talking about how far I am away from the signal. I could get further away with the note 3 than with the g3 from my wifi router.

I got the same problem at work wifi sucks s5 was way better.At home I have no problems cause im closer to signal but in job cuts off and on and wifi calling logs off 4g lte works better than my s5 but wifi definately got a ranfe problem.I went to store check out other lg g3 make sure I dont have a defective unit but its the same I hope a new modem can fix this.

Any news on a new radio. Reception sucks on my g3

Modem will not fix this. Phone suffers from death grip. Nothing can be done.
AWESOME G3

Wow. I thought the radio was good on this phone. Much better than my nexus 5 was. Maybe you have a bum phone?
Edit:
Never mind, you've checked. Still, I guess I don't know what I'm missing then as this phone has been the best I've had so far.

My data speeds on Wi-Fi are just as good as my note 3.

I was at home the other night and did a speed test and it was about half as slow as my Nexus 5 usually was on WiFi. That may have been due to the number of devices connected at that time.
How is everyone's LTE speeds compared to past phones? I feel like this is a lot slower than my Nexus 5. I was getting ~25mbps at home with my Nexus 5, but was barely pushing ~6 last time I tested. Maybe I was having a bad day with T-Mobile.

For me, speed is about the same (full internet speed) as my N5 but the Wifi range is better, especially on the 5 GHZ band. Problem is the range sucks for 5 GHZ on any device so I usually leave it on 2.4. On LTE, I regularly get 30-40 Mbps.

My LTE has more availability on this phone than my S4. I usually have 10-15 down, I've seen 60+ in a few areas on this phone that I've never seen on the S4.

How are the speeds in previous low speed areas?

Here is my delima, I am deciding if I want to leave T-Mobile after 12 years of service. I have great coverage everywhere except the two places I need it the most, my house and my work. For some reason at my work I can only average about 200kbps down tops and that's on hpsa+ it's so bad and can't even stream Pandora. I run a tire shop and we all take turns streaming music its embarrasing when I try to stream and it keeps cutting out. So I own a vibrant but am looking to upgrade to this phone and was wondering since the phone is capable of higher speeds, would I see an improvement? So for you that know you had terrible speeds in certain areas, have you seen an improvement?

i don't know if you noticed
but i've seen a lot of this that goes hand in hand, in a lot of videos and reviews
whenever you get REALLY good 11+ Mbps download speeds, the ping time is always high in speedtest app
if you have good ping time, usually the speed is average, like less than 8 Mbps
maybe that's just how the cell towers behave?
personally, i can say with this phone it has been a HUGE!!!!!!!! improvement on network speed compared to my Nexus S
areas where i average get 4~5 Mbps down, now i can get over 8 Mbps down
phone reception wise has also improved a lot, areas where i used to have no reception or poor reception now i can get good reception with this phone
before i purchased the phone i was betting on the Qualcommn chipset + radio as it was widely advertised and it did really pay off
i'm sure if they used a Exynos the reception would have been crappy like on the Nexus S

Bad signal on VZW GNex

Anyone else notice a much worse signal on the GNex than other VZW phones in the same location. I swapped from a GSM Gnex and i gotta say, im not impressed.

From what people have said of Samsung, they have bad CDMA radios in general while Moto has the best.
Ya I keep getting random 4g drops in my house, I usually fluctuate between 2 bars of 4g and 2 bars of 3g...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I am. Compared to the Rezound I had for a couple weeks the dBm is -100 to -140 where the Rezound was -80.
Last night it kept dropping to 3G and would not get 4G back unless I rebooted.
Speedtest was about half what it normally was with the Rezound on 4G
This morning the -dBm is over -100 but the speedtest is about to where it was normally so I don't know.
I travel for work so I'm going to give it week and see how to behaves as I move around.
I really like this phone but I need it to be a phone first and if it drops calls or the 4G is this bad it's going to be a deal breaker.
I just did another speed test at -108 dBm and it's over 20MB down. I was getting 4MB down last night and the signal was all ranging all over the place while I was staying in the same spot.
I have to imagine the VZW network was getting pounded pretty hard last night with new adopters and phones being activated. I'd say give it a few days and check back into it

Bad signal but still getting good speeds....
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I am experiencing this also coming from a Thunderbolt. Granted the Thunderbolt had flashed radio/Kernal/Rom's. Would that even matter? In this case will an updated radio provide a stronger signal or just increased reliability from being dropped? Maybe both? Idk. Anyone?
These are all in the exact same spot ranging from -100 to -140dBm
Glad I'm not the only one! The Rezound had way better connectivity and reception! Samsung sux in this dept. Ima give it a few days. Off topic here but where's the smart dialing?? I can't believe it didnt make it to ics!! Heh.

I honestly think the phone is just reading your signal wrong. TBolt had this issue also and a modem fixed it somewhat.

I drop signal at random though.
Would that cause it to drop down to 3G?
I have same signal i used to have on my rezound, i still get almost same speeds around 28 up and 18-20 down here in Minneapolis. rezound used to get 32 down and around 20 up, but i am thinking since verizon network was pounded yesterday so there will be some impact on speeds
Whatever new phone that comes out, you can always count on a bad signal thread.
I haven't noticed a difference in signal, but I do think it has better sound quality than my Droid Incredible.
Edit: I just did a speed test (3g) and it was very choppy and not great. I live across the street from a cell tower, so that is not good.
The Moto RAZR I returned yesterday to get this Samsung had much better reception.
I should have remembered that the Koreans can't engineer a good antenna. I'm very unhappy right now.

i beg to differ
Maybe your coverage area? I am in Tampa...in a building, in my office, i get 5-6 megs down and 2-3 up...with my LTE GNex, i cant even hold a 4g signal, and when i do its 5 megs each way. Nothing earth shattering....but on top of it, that drops to 3g and stays there. The GSM, always had a connection.

Problems with WiFi download speeds VZW Nexus

Well I have been trying to figure out what is happening with my WiFi speeds on my Nexus. I just moved a few days ago and I now have some pretty fast internet unfortunately no 4G here so I rely on the WiFi. With my new faster WiFi I noticed I was getting slower speeds than with my other devices in the house. I have 2 Galaxy Tabs 10.1 and 2 Galaxy Notes, and a Thunderbolt. With all my other devices I get about 30 Mbps down, but on my Nexus I just can't get good speeds. I average about 11-12 Mbps with an occasional 16-17 Mbps still half of what I'm getting with my other devices.
I have a netgear router which has 802.11n so all of these devices should work. I have tried everything but nothings makes it any better. Today I got my first replacement and it has the same problem or issue.
I have made a Video. Sorry for the quality I was in a hurry in not so good lighting.
If you have any comments or suggestion please post them below.
Youtube Video: http://youtu.be/Zc1O96De7OU
Sorry the video audio cuts out at about 4:30 but in the end you can see some of the results from Today.
Wow I guess nobody else has the same problem.
Try changing the wifi frequency band to 5ghz only in advanced settings.

Could be your router. They don't make good routers anymore that aren't simultaneous dual band. Your GNex sounds like it's the only dual-band device you have.

Well according to specs, the Galaxy Tabs, and the Galaxy Notes are Wireless 802.11 a/b/g/n so I would think they are multi band as well. What gets me is the other devices work good, only the Nexus will not perform on the Wifi like the others.
If it was the router I don't think the other devices would work good. Maybe I'm wrong.
I experience about the same speeds. I've got a Netgear 802.11g router at home and pull maybe 11-14mbps depending. But over at my parent's house with a Cisco/Linksys 802.11n router (same ISP), I get about the same speeds, maxing out at maybe 17-18mbps.
That obviously doesn't feel slow by any means though. Never sat there thinking that I'm getting inferior speeds. 17mbps is kinda overkill for the phone, especially with super small ping times.

Not sure what your parents speed is supposed to be, would be interesting to know? And it's not a issue of overkill, it is just something is not right with the WiFi on this phone. For myself I use the WiFi heavily especially since I only have 3 G where I live so I would like to take advantage of the fully capable speeds I have.
Anyone with a fast internet connection (30 Mbps +) can you test your Wifi speeds with your Nexus and post your results. I want to see if anyone can get a fast speed close to your PC or other devices.
Mine goes about as fast as anything else on my network but I have DSL... 3mbps tops
Edit: Actually the upload speed is reporting as faster than my internet actually is. (554kbps when my cap is 384kbps and my PC reads 320kbps) I vaguely remember a reviewer saying there was a bug in the Speedtest.net app that caches uploads or something like that and reports higher than it actually is.
Download speed is reading what it should be though.

Yes thanks, but I don't seem to see a difference with speeds below 12-15 Mbps so I really need someone with a faster connection to try.

Thats what I have charter, and I can't get much more than what you showed on a regular basis. But on my other devices I can consistently get 30 Mbps.
Thanks for helping I appreciate it.
Here is the speed with my Galaxy Note
Just reporting that I have wifi issues as well. My router is downstairs so it may as well be a penetration issue, but I'm pulling less than 5mbps on a 10mbps cable internet connection.
I've done numerous tests in the past with an EVO 3D, iPod Touch, and GS2. All report 10mbps consistently even when I'm upstairs while the Nexus struggles to load a webpage. I also tried a test downstairs and the Nexus did well pulling 10mbps but it is also inconsistent.
This is a weird problem.
No problem. download Adobe air!
It fixed and improved YouTube

Very interesting. I have TWC and their 30 down 5 up plan and I only see 11-12 down with the nexus. Something just not right with the nexus. Ran the test at the same spot with my wife's T-Mobile GS2 and hers maxed out at our TWC 30/5 limit. WHAT THE HECK! And this spot is 3 -5 ft away from the wifi router. Maybe the new drivers in 4.0.4 fix this issue?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Hmm, after redoing the test downstairs, my wifi speeds seem to be in line with my other devices. Still does not solve the inconsistent speeds when I'm upstairs though, whereas my other devices plow through the speeds with consistency.
I just got my nexus and having problems with my wifi connection . YouTube is stopping, audio stream Pandora or tune in radio all stopping and playing . Never had problem with any other phones. I havevthe galaxybs 2 and the note and they have no problem streaming any video or audio.

Pissed T-Mobile phone user! question on the gs2

Had the gs3. Piece of junk in my opinion. now have the one s but it loses cell connection from time to time, a known issue. Seriously considering getting the gs2. How is cell reception, camera quality, build, any issues with loss of data connection?

Whoa gs3 to one s? Lol.
S2 IMO is the most stable T-Mobile ics supported phone.
-cell reception depends on your area+ modem
-rear camera is pretty good at 8 mp though it sucks in low light
-front camera is very good 2mp (.2+ mp over the s3) lol
-build quality is not as good as the HTC one s (plastic all around and a faux silver band around the housing- on the white s2) though it looks sexy
-again data depends on area, modem or even the rom (aosp based rom isn't as fast as tw roms) you need to experiment w certain modems in your area. I get 6-7mbps on a tw rom at my house, but I only get 1.5 mbps in aosp roms. Where as at my workplace I get 4-5 mbps regardless of what roms I'm running (latest ics modem)
Only issues certain devices have=
1. Screen issue, blobs and lines though this isn't severe on newer production units
2. Over heating
3. Mic issues on almost all ics roms
4. Lack of notification LED - but you can use BLN (back light notification)
But If you can find a galaxy nexus GSM unlocked I would go for the g nex anytime. Yes you may have slower data as it doesn't support 42+ hspa, or a 8mp camera sensor, but you will have almost the same screen size as the s3, notification LED and a better build quality.
Bln?

Look up BLN app on the market you can use the soft key lights as notification led. Though you need a compatible kernel (and of course root to flash the kernel)

To be honest every phone isnt for every individual. I have the SI SII and my friend has the SIII We all get the same reception inside my house so maybe you should have checked the connection strength. Did you happen to check cell reception in the same areas? Also did you do speed test? some times older phones will try and hold onto the 4g (hspa+) signal when really you should be going down to get a faster speed. Anyway onto the SII i love this phone and have no problems with reception however i live in a strong Tmobile market (austin texas).
I lose radio completely. And my wife's lumia is perfect. Could it be a sim card issue

I think the reception on this phone sucks too. But then again, I changed carriers so it could be just bad reception and my house being in some kind of dead zone. We'll see next phone I guess.
The s3 you got must have been in a bad batch or something. The One S has been having signal issues and I think its due to these new micro Sims we are using. If you get an s2 make sure you get the tmo sum that's made in india(has better reception for some reason) I use an s2 myself and if you root it with the right rom(cyangen mod 9) and have the right kernel, you're phones as good, if not better, then anything tmo offers right now

Nvm, figured out the signal problem. Antenna on the one s is at the lower left hand side. Grip it down there in a low signal area, say good bye to reception. Knowing his the signal has been solid. Looks like I'm sticking with the one s!

Data speeds awful on note 2

I've been getting some pretty bad data speeds here is a screen shot. Anyone else experiencing the same issues? All tests I had 3 to 5 bars of 3g. My Evo was never this bad in the same spot.

I dont think it is a phone problem, from the looks of it you have poor signal strength. Unless you can compare side by side with a comparable phone like an Iphone or S3,. But more or less it is a sprint problem there data speeds have been on the decline.
Yup, normal for sprint. Your pings are pretty good actually. Mine can be up to several seconds. During the day my data drops to <10kbps, like a 9600 baud modem from 1993. Enjoy Sprint.
I'm getting good signal and my Evo data speeds were never this bad. Here is another shot
This is a sprint issue
Horrible data everywhere.

sprint freakin sucks then. My evo 4g wasnt this bad. I guess i was lucky im starting to miss the data speeds on that phone now.
Mine aren't too shabby

Were you in a Wimax market with the Evo?
Yes i had wimax but never used it because of battery drain. The speeds on my old Evo were all 3g and i would always get atleast 1mb down now im barely getting .1mb down
Yes sprint data sucks..
Don't have an explanation then... 3G speeds for me have always been fairly consistent. If anything I found the Evo to be a little lackluster in this area. I wouldn't say the 3G speeds I get on my N2 are groundbreaking, but they're adequate.
I'm just waiting patiently for LTE to launch in my area.
Just like most of what they're saying in this thread...Sprints data is horrendous!
BTW...I'm also getting a Note II this coming month!

Doing the same. Get about 100kb/s at home and 1.9mb/s at work. Cant wait for LTE to roll out.

In the city I live it my data is great, when I get into Milwaukee your better off not even to try any data.
Hey OP when you click on your result in speed test what do you get? RevA, ehdrp?
Force roam it

You think speeds are bad on the note, try the iPHONE 5 on sprint lol, data wouldn't even load for me unless on wifi. Thank God the note 2 came out before my 14 days were up lmfao
THIS NOTE 2 IS SENT FROM A GALAXY WHERE SAMSUNG SPRINTS TO THE TOP, AND JELLY BEANS EAT APPLES!!!!
I saw this thread a few days ago. I went out yesterday for a drive. LTE radio on Note 2 is stronger then nexus LTE radio. Hard to go anywhere in my area and loose LTE. Regular 3g works good as well. I couldnt be happier knowing the issues with other phones connected to sprint networks. Had a Epic Touch and Nexus. Both had horrible signals.
