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 received my note 4 in the mail today via ups and I have tried almost everything to get the internet to work as fast as it should. I have called tmobile and told them the issue and 3 out of the 5 people that I talked to asked me how did I get the note 4 and it isn't supposed to be released until the 17th. I have downloaded the speedtest.net application and I got ping 26 ms download 0.74 upload 0.05. I need some help on what my next move should be. I have not rooted the device.
Got my Note 4 today as well and I'm experiencing slow download speeds also.

Did you try changing the server on speedtest? Does the internet work fine though? If nothing works, i'd say reset the phone.

Yes I have changed the server and actually got lower speeds, the internet is not working properly at all. I did a reset on the phone as well.
My internet speed is better than my Note 3. I have 90% LTE connection here...ie...everything but 1 bar.
Has anyone tried WiFi. What Sim card are you guys using.
NOTE 4
have you guys/girls activated the new sim card, or are you using a used one from a previous phone?

I was using the same sim card from my note 3 then I got the new sim card that came with the phone activated and I am still having the same issues.

I have tried wifi as of right now that is the only way that I can download things, after I downloaded the speedtest.net, I turned wifi off to get the 4g lte reading and pretty much got those marks above. I was using the sim card that was in my note 3 and then was told by a tmobile rep that may be the problem after changing out the sim card basically got the same readings.

Do you have a screen shot
NOTE 4
I'm using the Sim card I used in my Nexus 5 (previous device), I'm sitting in my bathroom and getting 15mb/s speed on 4G LTE, getting about 30-45mb/s in my living room.
It could very well be a faulty antannae in the device, especially with how the packaging was when I received the device. Nothing against T Mobile, but a packing ENVELOPE? Really? Seems kinda faulty for a $900 device.
It works on 4G but not real good and 4G lte looks like this now

Yeah I thought that may be the issue and they told me that they doubt it's an antenna issue because it's a brand new phone

I find it funny that they would say that, even more so being a new phone would it have a manufacturer defect.

They gave me the run around basically I end up having to pay another deposit to get another phone and then return the defected 1 to get a refund

does anyone know if the Sprint Note 4 SAMSUNG N910 BLK XCVR SGL (SPHN910BK1) can be used on a T-Mobile network? the specs in PHONEARENA are all the same for the NOTE 4 regardless of carrier.
Thanks.
Sprint is a CDMA network. T-Mobile is a GSM. Unless there's a GSM modem in Sprint's Note 4, I highly doubt that it can be used.
Yes, it can be used on t-mobile. You need to fully unlock it.

You may need to set up your APN manually.

Does anyone have an idea as to the strength of the antennas? I have the Galaxy s7 edge and I am getting less bars and have a harder time holding onto a signal than I did with my Note 5. I hope the Note 7 has stronger antennas!

It's the first phone with 4x4 mimo. I'm not sure if that has anything to strength our not. Just speed maybe? I plead ignorance, but hope it can add to the conversation.
Can't wait to get the hardware and see if there are enough receive antennas in there.
Mine is sitting next to my unrooted note 4 and the 4 has 4 full bar but note 7 is 3 bars. Both connected to my wifi 10 feet away.

Lol that's not a good sign.
Looking at the comparison (Note 7 vs S7) on tmobile website it looks like the note 7 has more bands than the s7. That would mean better signal?

Oh wait that's for international. Nevermind. Should have Google search it first.

Mine has worse signal then my wife's s7 edge and if I lose signal somewhere the only way to get it to get service again is to restart the phone
