Anybody use their AT&T N3 to torrent files? If so how are the speeds?
On the T-Mobile Note 3 either on mobile data or wifi, speeds seemed to be throttled.
No such issues on Note 2 or any prior android device.
Just wanted to know if it was an issue with the Note 3 itself or network issue.
same issue on att N3
Our favorite GSM carrier probably altered this somehow, because they don't want large files downloaded over their precious network.
I use t torrent & download speeds seem normal to me. I get 4-5MBs over wifi at my house

I fixed it!
Ok so I had this issue. Now I don't.and it IS knox So here's a shoot-from-the-hip not very descriptive solution. Go to settings. More. App manager. All. And shut off anything that says "vpn" , "knox", or "lookout security"
Then download a torrent. Your speeds should jump from 50kbps to 4-5 mbps.

I am trying to playback using HTTP live streaming using such apps as Plex. When I'm on wifi, there are no problems. But as soon as I switch to 3G, the video fails to play. I've talked with the Plex developers and they've looked at the logs and think it's a carrier or phone specific issue, as I can't play other HTTP live streaming video such as the example videos found here https://developer.apple.com/resources/http-streaming/examples/. Can anyone else try the example link or plex and see if they have the same problem. Any ideas of workarounds or fixes for this? Thanks
No one has any ideas?
I can confirm the issue with the link you provided, but not sure how to approach it. It could have something to do with Sprint's proxy settings in the data configuration. I haven't looked into that on this phone, but I've removed it from my previous phone. I couldn't say whether this will work or not though, nor do I remember how to access that section on Sprint's phones.

If it's a sprint proxy it's strange it would only be on this phone as my wife's iphone and other Android phones I've tried it works.
That's a good point. I don't know what to tell you then. Hopefully someone has more ideas

sure its just not a speed issue with 3G vs. wi-fi?

No, definitely not a speed issue. I have a floating widget that monitors down and up network speed. There simply was no activity trying to stream it on 3g. It also didn't take much over wifi to stream and I was pulling down fast enough speeds elsewhere online compared to what the stream needed on wifi.

Yeah, I can confirm it's not the bandwidth that's the issue. Especially considering even when I run the tests on the HTC One and the iphone 5 side by side on the same slow 3G connection, the iphone 5 will load with no problem and like gk1984 said, the HTC One won't even have any 3G activity.
I'm in austin, had the galaxy note 2 before the 3, and I've noticed that the 3 just doesn't want to stay on LTE. The note 2 would always connect to lte immediately but with the 3 it likes to stay on 4g. Has anyone else experienced this? I already exchanged my first one thinking it was just defective but the new one is doing the same...

You can set it manually to lte only via the service menu however when you do that gsm (phone calls) will be sent straight to voicemail. There are a few threads on this issue already as well

yeah mine is less likely to say LTE when i wake it up for whatever reason.
but if i cycle airplane mode on/off, i'll come back into lte.
but i don't normally have a problem in general.
I know that AT&T's LTE in the Tulsa area is messed up currently. Speeds are crazy slow in spots. I do not know how he knows but I know a guy who works at AT&T and he told me that AT&T knows of the issue and is working on it. Of course. I guess it could also be a Note III issue.
I'm just curious if they are truly working on it, don't get me wrong, I love the power of this phone!

Those who have the old unlimited smartphone plan with AT&T, do you know how to un-throttle your speeds? I'm now getting 0.50 down and 0.50 up on LTE. Changing the APN's doesn't help. And dialing *#2262 and changing it from LTE/GSM to GSM only then back to LTE/GSM doesn't work either.
Ay suggestions would be great.
Using T-Mobile branded Note 3.
This is likely to be region specific. I'm on an old unlimited and I don't have any throttling in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Fort Myers, or Manhattan.

It use to be, however, within the last year they made it regional. Unfortunately I must be in an area with low capacity or something, because every month I get throttled at 5GB. Many people don't get throttled on LTE anymore, and use about 10GBs.
Same here I'm in austin and they don't even bother warning me, I find out when I can't use my phone anymore lol

Think it has to do with how 'fast' use the data. Got my first warning ever (6 years unlimited) when my son ran off 3 GB in less than hour last month. I did go over 5 gb and not get throttled, but I had curtailed my mobile data use considerably after the warning. Just wondering if I am on a watch list now. Think I will run mostly LTE for this period and see what happens.

There is a way to become I throttled. The imei trick but it involves calling

Yes, having AT&T change your data plan. It resets your usage and your unthrotted. I know about that.

That is the only way to do it. Give att an ime for a 3g device. then call back and give them the imei of your lte device and you will be unthrottled. also upgrading your phone will unthrottle you.
So I recently upgraded my internet speed too 300 mbps (I now work for time Warner so my services are free), now my laptop can pull the full 300 but my phone maxed out at 40ish.
Is that the top speed of WiFi or is speedtest's app whack?

I get 65 with a dual band n router, I don't think you'll ever see anything above 65 with an n or ac router.
You should be able to pull higher than 65 thru the Wi-Fi on the phone. I can almost swear that I remember reading somewhere that this phone has a dual MiMo WiFi chip, which should allow for speeds up to 300.
You are testing your laptop speed via WiFi, right? Not hardwired?

there seems to be some correlation to speed and internet security type,
my results are.
WPA2 tkip 54mps
WPA2 AES 54mps
WPA2 AES&TKIP 65mps
No security 135mps

The fastest I've seen with my M7 was 115mbps, when I was paying for the faster service thru Comcast. This was on a 5ghz ac channel.
The fastest I've seen with my M8 so far has been 61mbps, but that's because I'm only paying for 50mbps right now.

I'm almost at the 300mbps. Doing some tweeking.

Duplicate text's is an issue many of us have had. Please let Sprint know you're experiencing the issue here: https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/179054
Also, try switching to LTE and see if anything changes. I've been on LTE since N5 and have never had issues. I'm also not ruling out #blameSprint as a culprit.

I switched it to LTE rebooted and still same problem
It takes a while for my phone to connect to, by the time I enter my password and view the home screen signal is back. I have experience text message error, even when I am in an area with 4 bars LTE. I haven't had any MMS issues yet. This may be due to Sprints abysmal network.
Seemed to temp fix mine by using 3g only texts send no problem and i can actually stream pandora without it skipping every second
Can't believe internet is faster on 3g
That's a network issue on Sprints part. Buddy of mine had an S4 with no LTE but 3G worked. The sim card ID was incorrect on their end. They reset it correctly and everything works.

Yeah my phone is working perfect with the only 3g option on hopefully they fix it soon
