Anyone noticing data speed issues? I've been noticing really slow data speeds lately. I have also noticed a lot of 3G and H+ being listed by by signal bar. Rarely see 4G or LTE anymore. I'm on T-Mobile, and I have a CellSpot.
I'm on latest CM 13 stock build.

I have an EVO 4G and I've switched back and forth between AOSP ROMs and Sense ROMs. The problem is my 4G will show full bars but the connection is terrible and the speed slows down. For example, on CM7 2 bars of 4G is faster that 3 full bars of 4G. What's the deal?
Bars are never a true way to tell how much signal you have. Every rom has different ways they calculate the amount of bars. Get an app that shows you the actual signal strength in decibels.
yeah there are plenty of apps out of the market that will give you the actual signal like the last post said in decibls. Your 4g tower might have just been down and sprint got rid of wimax so they might not be in a hurry to fix it. I have also noticed in cm7 my bars are always less anyways.
Now just remember wimax isnt like 3g! 3g goes out much further and can cover a lot more area. but with 4g think of it as a wifi network it is really strong at the source but when you get further away it will drop speeds and bars sugnificantly.
If I helped please hit thanks!
When running any sense based rom i get solid download speeds of 10+mbs in my house and about 2mbs up.
When I flash any CM based rom I'm lucky to get half of that. It's really sad. I love PA and CM but can't use them because of this.
I'm on T-Mobile.
Just curious if anyone else has this issue.
Also that data icon just flips between 3g and h+ constantly. I have a cell fi Booster in my home, which gives me solid H+. So idk.
Hi
Does anyone know if the liquid smooth 3.2 rom 10-9-14 version shows 4g lte on the status bar?
I just had it flashed yesterday and I never say it show 4g lte connection all day today? I usually always have 4g lte connection.
It only showed 3g all day.
I checked the settings and it says the preferred connection is LTE in liquid smooth. My stock rom always showed 4g LTE
yeah this liquidsmooth has not shown 4g or LTE once; it always says 3g
I have the N900T, stock OB6 , unrooted, sim unlocked and on the cricket network. The LTE signal always reads full signal at the top of the screen. If it switches to HSPA+ it will read 4G and the signal will fluctuate like it should and appears to be accurate. While on LTE I am also getting slow speeds, but it is sporadic. I am supposed to get 8Mbps down and around 5Mbps up. I am not even close to that most of the time, although sometimes I will get those speeds. So this may be a network issue, I will see if this clears up. Has anyone else had an issue with the LTE signal bars being inaccurate?

One thing you can check, is the actual signal levels. In the dialer (phone app), dial *#0011# and take a screenshot. This will show both your signal bars, and the actual signal levels (look for RSRP, RSRQ, and SNR). Do this first in a place where you know for sure that your signal should be full bars, then do it again in places where you believe it likely isn't. This will provide good indication on whether it's an actual signal issue, or you're just hitting towers that may not have the bandwidth available.
Hello all!
I have a new Motorola G8 play, using AT&T....
Currently I don't have 4g LTE at this point. It has an H by the cell signal icon.
I do have data, but it seems a little slower than I was expecting.
I tried a couple different APN settings based on web results, but they weren't the solution.
Any idea what I can do before I go to the AT&T store?
It can this phone get 4g LTE? I am in the US.
Can't go till tomorrow, so just curious.
Thanks in advance!
Yes this phone has compatibility with 4G LTE. Maybe your area doesn't have good reception for LTE? If so it switches to a lower quality but more stable ( because slower but stable is better than a stuttering connection)
