N7100 vs N7105 HSDPA+

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.

Experiencing Slow Ltd?

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

LTE Speed

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.

SM-G988U1 on AT&T will not pick up 5G

I recently switched over from using my Galaxy Note10 which was a AT&T device to my unlocked S20 Ultra 5G. When I made the switch I also changed my plan from the Business Unlimited Starter plan I had been on since last year to the Business Unlimited Performance plan which now gives me 5G/5G+ access. I am in a AT&T 5G area & I can not pick up a 5G signal at all. My city is pretty much covered in 5G and their is a 5G tower not far from me. I've tried resetting my network settings with no luck at all. What issues could I be experiencing that I am only picking up LTE+ & not 5G?

Try this...
First call AT&T and make sure you give them the IMEI and ICCID...then get the Net Monitor App and go to the top right hand 3-dots click dots and click SETTINGS...Then ANDROID RADIO Menu....click okay when warning comes up....scroll way way way down to Set Preferred Network Type and just make sure your are on Unknown per the screen shots below...always remember what is chosen if it is not Unknown in case you need to go back. Please do let us know if this worked? Also, DO NOT change anything else in this app as it could mess with your connection

Just wanted to give a update on my AT&T 5G situation with my S20 Utlra 5G (SM-G988U1). After calling business customer support I had my IMEI# changed from what they had on file for me which was my Galaxy Note10 to my S20 Ultra 5G. This now allows me access to 5G on AT&T. If anyone else has this concern just contact AT&T customer service and make sure your account has your 5G device's IMEI# linked to it.

Question Verizon 5g

Anyone have any luck getting verizon 5g to work? I saw some reports online about it now working on their 5g network. However i popped in my verizon 5g sim and while yes the phone did work i didnt see anything more than lte+ icon. Is this considered 5g? Or just a beefed up 4g? I chatted with verizon and they advised me to call tech support and speak to the network dept so that a ticket is placed on my account for it to be looked into. I guess I'll have to call tomorrow unless someone here has any tips or tricks? It being a new phone I don't expect any lol!

Dumb question, but do you know if you're in a 5G area?
I plan to pop in my Verizon SIM once I switch most of my stuff over tomorrow or the next day.

NYC Yes, I have an iPhone 12 Pro running 5g. Can you post up here if yours runs 5g out the box?

Mine runs 5g out of the box but it's no better than lte due to the fact it's dss. I just disabled it and set it to lte.

I just did the update and boom the 5g works now. LoL. Thanks.

I hit Visible (Verizon) 5G today in downtown St Paul, MN. I didn't pick it up at my house in the suburbs though.

On verizon 5G you'll see 5G above your signal, like shown in this screen shot.

Mine has the basic 5G, but the mm5G (Ultra) is only in select areas. I'm in Orange County, CA, and the Ultra is not available here.

Mine picks up the midband 5G but I'll probably never see mmwave in my area.

Mine sees Verizon 5g no problem.
