Hi all!!
I've been running android rc 2 and my download speed seems to be really low though signal shows all four bars and its 81dbum 16 Asu. The download speed from speedtest.net app shows only 36kbps upload and download. Kindly advice. Cause My old Nokia was hell faster than this. I think I should claim my warranty and get a new device. :O :O
PS. I'm on airtel & I faced this issue with the stock ROM too

hi
all said and done i have tried all the services at bangalore & chennai
and by far airtel is much better in terms of coverage.So presently we got no other go we need to stick with them until any one else give a better coverage
yes their are many service providers at Bangalore with much better call plans but the coverage is bad
Alright, here's a shocker for all of you. The problem is not with airtel, its our DAMN PHONES....
My friends on airtel too and the speedtest app give him d/l speeds over 2.7mbps on his galaxy ace..... WE NEED AN EXPLANATION PEOPLE!!!!
someone better fix this.... I feel like owning a 13k BRICK!!!!
^^ Dude I already check my airtel sim in Samsung Galaxy s, s2 and Iphone... So your shock is useless and the problem is still of airtel....!!!

and also one thing to be considered... i dont pay for 3g . i.e i kept on the same 98 and 145 rs recharges
No problem in Vodafone

Spice Mi410 on Airtel, No problem with Airtel 3G folks, check what plan are you on and also there is something called as Fair usage policy that kicks in after you have spent your data limit.
I have tried 3G on stock & custom (good and bad, B's and D's etc). I am on RC2 now, did face problems on 3G - it was intermittently latching on to the network though speed was constant. It seems to be problem with ROM more than operator. Besides Airtel uses Huawei 3G baseband ; Huawei X6 and its cousins should work the best in this network.
Folks check your plan and coverage area before blaming the SP.

hi
the way u say this looks like u are an airtel employee just kidding buddy no offense intended
no one is blaming the SP just stating their experience thats all
and its is a known issue that RC2 dosent work well with 3G
in fact many have said that 3G doesn't work on RC2 ur lucky that it worked for u
and me i used it on a prepaid recharg & anyway its still too costly as of now
^costly as for now kidding who gonna pay 700 INR for only 2 gb,... that on 3g drains out withn 5 to 7 days only....
And there is no fair uses policy in airtel for prepaid users having free download limit lower then 8 gb
beside aritel in any other carrier also there is no fair uses policy for less then 8 gb free download packs... father is a bsnl employee that's why i know about fair uses policy
and yaa even after getting 3g frc my friend still faced very low speed ... so airtel as for now
SUCKS...
even bsnl's 3g now a days providing 28 KBps speed .. can u imagine BSNL giving 28 KBps and that is on 3G oh my god... lol bsnl always sucks

I have owned my Samsung Captivate for ~6 months. I constantly have problems with internet in School. I always have 0 or 1 bar in class and in bathrooms. This is a major problem for me, the consumer.
I am using the Serendipity 6.3 and the hardcore speedmod kernel. I am on AT&T. I live in North New Jersey.
Someone told me 1900 doesnt penatrate walls as well as 850 so I switched my modem to I9000UGJL2 (Froyo) found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391
This seems to have improved my internet connection speed, but I still seem to not have any internet and 0 to 1 bars in most class rooms and bathrooms.
When I get really close to the Window my bars go up and internet is there again and when I go outside I am also able to access sites again.
Because of this I am planning on switching to either Sprint of Verizon. I don't want to switch to the Evo 4g considering the Captivate Hardware surpasses the Evo 4g's. I have talked to a few friends and I am aware both Sprint and Verizon phones have internet in my school. My friend went on multiple websites in front of me on his droid on the Verizon network while I was not able to.
Any suggestions?
Please Help! Thanks.
its just the reception and wave length, not much will change it

But why do people have internet on Verizon and I don't? Verizon just dominates in NJ?
You could try putting your phone down while your at school and doing some work.

My grades are high. I own an online business so I constantly have to talk to staff online and when I have no internet this is impossible.
I am planning to switch to Verizon this week. I will buy myself the HTC ThunderBolt 4G and my mother the Samsung Convoy U640.
Verizon has better coverage... And are you using h or 3g?
Try using 3g if you were using h... But verizon would be much nicer

There could be a Sprint and Verizon cell tower in your campus.
Everything was working fine I used to reach 12mb on 3g where I live and even more speed on lte 30 - 90mb (another city not where I live).
Now my problem in my city with almost full 3g bars I will not cross 0.35 mb on speed test and the surfing is very slow.
I tried many radios but no change?
Any help is appreciated.
My rom is ARHD 12.2
*I have galaxy note 8.0, I put my sim inside and the speed was great!!
Anyone?
I know it's a strange problem

3G is a very generic term. Do you mean EVDo or HSDPA or HSDPA+ or GSM or what?
When you do the speed test (use ookla) what does it tell you you are using?

If it only happens in your city, then you should contact your carrier. Maybe your phone is using a different band or something.
But I severely doubt it is the phone's problem if two phones have it and it only happens in your city.

I was trying to find where is the issue, it was working fine previously and got around 12mb. Now, my note reach this speed but not htc phones, this really confusing me.
I did almost everything even trying many rom's but no change.
Forget to mention I got almost 2mb for upload wil the download not going more than .35 mb !!!
See what frequencies the Note and One respectively are capable of on your carrier.
And it's really on H+, huh?
If so, I got nothing.

Yes both are running same frequencies, I know it's too complicated.
Thanks for your input.
It looks like all htc phones in my area
I will do one thing next, I will go back to 4.1.2

Sorry to bring back this thread, but this issue is really annoying.
I tested more phones from Moto, Asus, and HTC all these phone has this problem except Samsung, LG and iPhone
I have good signal. This doesn't seem to be an issue but my download speeds are woeful. Either 3 or 4g it's just terrible. Ping speeds are slow and download speeds on 4g are less than 1meg at times.
It's a 1052 model. Does anyone know if there's any update modem drivers. Genuinely can't handle this hahaha

Ping and download speeds are most likely related to your carrier and not your phone - especially if you have a good signal. Do you have another GSM phone that you can place your SIM card into and see if your speeds increase and your PINGs decrease? You really need a basis for comparison.
not another 4g phone mrs has an iphone .... but thats only good or a 3g test
might have to just buy one and see what happens... doing my head in though !!!!!
I started a similar thread a little earlier than you. Same crap.
My moto X Dev with t mobile Sim. My wife's note 2 bought from att and unlocked, which doesn't even have all the LTE frequencies/channels , on the same family plan...
Speed tests on the att note 2 is unbelievable better than the moto X.

looks like the problem is the 4g on the phone. data speeds are inconsistant and on top of that i cant make or receive calls when on a 4g network
crap
at a total loss now. swapped sim cards and cant make calls on 4g.... have put an o2 sim in the phone and that doesnt seem to have the same issues as the ee sim ..... arrrrgghhhh

Are you manually forcing the phone into "LTE Only" mode? This would explain why you can't make calls on 4g....
It's been going on now for 3 or 4 months almost as long as I've had my note 4.. I live in Colorado, and speeds here are absolutely dreadful. U average -1MBps Download and -2MBps upload speeds. I've contacted tmobile retarded customer service. And they tell me " oh, 1 to 2Megz it's LTE, it's NORMAL". bullsht how you going to tell me it's "normal" when people are getting 30...40. ..even 60 MPBS. I rooted my phone days ago. And can't settle on a ROM fast enough. I'm on hyper drive and I'm not going to blame the Dev here because it's tmobiles pea-brain monkeys trying to help me reset my connection. I've went into my APN noticed my MMSC was missing. so I've messed with my APN settings, but still have tmobiles bad speeds. There BAD. And calling tmobile won't solve a damn thing. Seriously thinking about moving to Verizon. More money but you get what you pay for. And I want UNLIMITED 4G LTE speeds what's the point of paying that extra $20 a month If I don't even use 5 GB? With this slow ass network. Flashing a ROM has helped a lot. But still have those dreadful speeds it's driving me nuts! !! Can anyone hint me some suggestions as to what I can personally try???
Are you on Nk4 baseband??? (Modem) is there any other tmobile users in your area that can vouch for the bad speeds your describing? Only problem with verizon or att is locked bootloaders.. unless you get verizons N4 developers edition
Ask someone who uses tmobile smartphone to check their lte speed at your location. If it is significantly faster than yours - put your sim card in friend's phone and his card in your note 4. If friends phone still much faster than yours - likely note 4 is defective. If friends phone runs much slower with your sim card - faulty sim card or your's account settings on tmobile side.

On NK4 baseband. Took the official OTA . I would try what derekz suggest. It would give me a good idea what's wrong. Thanks man!
Maybe it's just the area your doing the speedtest? I know in my room I get 1 or less than 1 mbps but when I go to the living room I get 9+ mbps on lte
Hi all, will this phone work on ATT and or Cricket? Is it a GSM phone? Will it get 4G if so? Thanks!!!
i have the mix on Cricket since December, it's on H+ most of the time and some times 4g depends on your location I guess, so it works on cricket and I'm not complaining on internet speed

I use it on Straight Talk (the AT&T sim). I live in Springfield Missouri and normally get LTE everywhere I go. The only real issue I have is when I do happen to lose LTE (receive/make a phone call, lose LTE in one particular room at my work, etc) it will stay on H+/3G until I go into settings and toggle between 3G then back to LTE again. Sucks, but not that big a deal since Straight Talk basically caps speed around 7-10 megs and H+/3G pretty much handles that speed anyway. But I haven't really had that many issues.
Mine is on Cricket and running fine in the Des Moines, IA area. I have a few hiccups here and there, but nothing drastic.
I have it with Att and works great always on Lte (tucson,Az). I get the hd voice and video calling as well. Only complain is I cant wait for mix 2 lol.
Straight talk ATT sim LTE all the time I live south of Chicago
