Hello guys. I have the 64GB/4GB variant of this phone and I think there is an issue regarding the LTE Speed. GSMArena says that the phone supports LTE-A (2CA) Cat6 300/50 Mbps. My operator is Cosmote Greece which provides LTE-A (4G+) speeds but my phone seems to be getting only the "simple" 4G speeds, meaning up to 100/50 Mbps. I have verified it through the engineering mode of the phone (*#*#4636#*#*) where the results are in the screenshot below. Has anyone with our phone achived higher speeds than 100 Mbps? (In multiple speedtests, I never got over 50 Mbps while other phones get 120+ Mbps). Thanks!

Mine was rapid on oreo, i suspect speeds have been limited in pie, thats all i can think of why bandwidth not as fast.

I live in Warner robins GA and as it is I have been in a 4g test area for close to 7 months and fortunately I am on 12m internet but when I would like to use 4g away from the house my upload speeds are garbage. Does anyone know how to fix.
Here's my setup

This is with subpar signal. My typical wifi results are 12+m down and 5m upload so I know its not the phone. Any ideas?

That isn't horrible, but not as good as it can be. I find that my 4G upload speeds top out around 1-1.2mbps. I've heard that the upload speeds are capped at 1mb, and I've never gotten above 1.2mbps on upload. Do you ever reach any higher than what it showed in your screen cap? My up and download speeds fluctuate massively on 3g and 4g. Very inconsistent. My averages aren't bad, but I could test 4 times in 10 minutes and have wildly different results each time.
Ok. That makes sense. Odd that 4g uploads aren't able to push more info. Thanks, now that u mention it I don't think I have seen anyone get 2+m uploads
Upload speeds by nature are generally slower, so you aren't doing too bad there.
I am not sure if I misread something last time that HSDPA+ on N7100 is slower than that on the N7105 ? Is this true? I can't seem to find info on google...
I believe it's called DC-HSPA+ Here's evidence from my device:

And if you're from the UK, hardly anywhere has LTE signal yet. Ridiculously over-priced, capped data. Three(3)s DC-HSDPA+ network is incredible like the guy says above this post. I strongly recommend it. I regularly get 8Mbs which is faster than many home broadband connections....
Don't be sold by adverts - do your research and save yourself a lot of money
yeah I bought an N7105 from orange network... £499 it comes with a free decent headphone... then I unlocked it and now using 3UK with unlimited internet... the signal is all over the place though, and I used to get a maximum 6mbps... but after I upgraded to 4.1.2, the data download went up to as high as 12mbps but its sporadic... still observing everything for now
edit: I bought the LTE version for future proofing, as I intend to keep the phone for at least 3 years...... that is if I don't get "upgrade-itis" because I am a sufferer...
I also have the 7105 LTE. Without LTE activated, my speed earlier today was:
That was my fastest to date with any device (Dell Venue, several different Blackberries, Samsung Jack, and Galaxy S III).

Yes, it's true. The N7105 supports 42Mbps Dual Carrier HSPA+ (As well as LTE), whereas the N7100 only supports HSPA+ up to 21Mbps.

I have an I9195 with stock XXUAMG8 on AT&T carrier. My phone will not connect to LTE, only H+. I had the AT&T store reset my APN for the LTE network, but still no connection.
Has anyone else had any issues connecting to AT&T LTE?

I don't have this phone... but was looking at getting it.
AT&T uses bands 700 & 1700 for LTE
according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Americas
The I9195 doesn't support those bands according to this:
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/android/GT-I9195ZKABTU-spec
which sucks cuz i kinda wanted the phone
Here are the specs from my box.
Compare them with the AT&T Galaxy S4 specs. http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I337ZRAATT-specs
And that still does not answer the question. Because 700mhz and 1700mhz are not Band 7 and 17. So doubtful that LTE will work in US, but it is still a great device in an S2 sized package.
As far as I can tell, this is the Band/Mhz translation.
Band = Mhz
1 = 2100
3 = 1800
5 = 850
7 = 2600
8 = 900
20 = 800
For AT&T you will need ....4 = 1700....17 = 700
Hey OP, thanks for answering your own question :good:

Is anyone else experiencing Slow LTE issues? Even when I was at 4 bars on the freeway by the Vegas Strip where I usually get good speed I was at like 1.5MBPS. At home now and still around 2 or so. With my Note 3 I would run speed tests all the time with great speed. I have added the Note 3 APN and haven't noticed much change. Will be testing more tomorrow. Just wanted to get anyone else's thoughts? Using at my house as I have the Note 3 for a year and never got speed results this low.

yeah but the speedtest results show he was on a cellular signal.
Have you tried restarting the phone? And have you asked anyone else what sort of speeds they are getting in that area?
I'm not seeing any issues with LTE speeds..

Lol I was on Cellular I turned Wifi off. Also my Cable is 100MBPS so trust me it wasn't that
I'm going to test at the Att store tomorrow and try with their in store demo unit. Don't know who in Vegas I can ask. Because no one I know has the phone yet!!!
Same issue here. Same for Note3 though. I usually notice it when indoors. You can switch to 4g instead. *#*#4636#*#* will take you to the menu where you can specify connection preferences. It will last till reboot. Otherwise call At&t and complain. Maybe they will do something.
I've been having slow lte speeds Here in chicagoland. I've had better speeds on previous phones. And I've noticed I've tried the FCC speed test app and the -dm for the signal strength is different from that showing up in the phone settings
I have the Google Pixel 6 Pro by Verizon and I have a 5G tower about 1.5 miles from my house. I get really good speeds or so I thought. When I run the speedtest app I get around 75mb of download and about 50 of upload. My neighbor using his Samsung S21 Ultra get at least double my speeds. Now we both have about 3 bars of cell service when we are at our houses, but when we go to where the tower is we have 5 bars of service. He gets 330mb of dl and about 70 upload. I get about 150 dl and 50 up. His speedtest app reads 5G Verizon Network and mine reads LTE Verizon Network. I went to Verizon and got a new sim card, I have rebooted the phone several times and reset the network in the settings but no luck.
I read an article here on this but I'm still confused why the S21 would show 5G Verizon where the GP6Pro shows LTE Verizon. I am attaching pics below. We are both standing at the same place using the same network. His reads 5G mine reads LTE... Just wondering if anyone else has the same issue.

Ensure that you are indeed on 5G and not LTE in settings
I finally got 5g and got 634mb download which was surprising and was indoors too and still get LTE on my Speedtest app also.

It is definitely on, that is the first thing I checked.
