Is anybody losing or having bad service on the N6 with TMO. In places I usually get good reception in, i'm getting no service or G.

Yep I have no data, and WiFi is slow to connect. I have the new bootloader and radio installed and flashed an unencrypted, rooted kernel.

marshmallows tmo apn is wrong, and is missing some info. the aon protocol should be set for ipv4/ipv6.
I had a similar issue where I had the slowest Internet in the world. Speed test show. 3 download and. 01 upload. I had to factory data reset in order for the speeds to return.

Band 12 should work on Nexus 6 phones... If you have the Nexus 6p that's another story...

TY for the clarification.

Signal via dBm is roughly the same for me on 6.0
Although today for a few minutes when I dropped out of an LTE area, signal bars said 3G. Not the H or H+ that I would normally see. My APNs are set properly, but did have to edit them to be so.
Maybe because this isn't a T-Mobile specific build is why it showed 3G. Because when I force 3G mode only , it shows H.
And my WiFi connect time is a bit slower as well. Instead of 2-3 seconds, it's definitely well over 10seconds to connect.

btw, H is 3G, just a newer, faster, form. and H+ is even faster
what are the tmobile settings?
Yes. I know its 3G. Just that this was the first time EVER I saw the 3G icon displayed on T-Mobile. It's always either been E, H, H+ or LTE.
Hasnt happened since so maybe a one time fluke

See that "Access Point Name" wasn't showing up in my settings, "CDMA Type" was what it had instead. After I upgraded to the latest LightROM, i now have that in my settings and signal is better. My guess is that marshmallow is having trouble deciding if you're on Tmobile

Getting like 15kB/sec download and 70kB/sec upload
Wth?
Real slow anyone else get this?
T-Mob USA btw.. Server in Philadelphia
nope i got 2.15 mb/ps download and 1.31 mb/ps upload
127 ms in new york
but with the old radio i would get 3mb/s and 2mb/s
I noticed today my 3G seemed a tad slower. My speed tests are maybe 20% slower than usual. I got Tmo in Sacramento.
well, before my 3g connection totally conked (i'm connected, but no data is being transferred at all.... happened after I installed adfree) I was getting terrible data rates, just like yours... I actually got up to 33k ish on the download tho... i'm in the Chicago area. Usually I can get around 1-1.5M in my area.
not to kang your thread, but any chance adfree somehow hosed me? if i turn on wifi, i can connect just fine... so it makes me think adfree was just a coincidence because I would think it would affect my browsing on wifi too.

Same here . I flashed back to the 32.26.00.24u_4.04.00.03_2. Not a problem you wont brick your phone. My speeds were terrible with the new radio. I"m back up in the 900 kbs now . With the new radio I was averaging a 1/3 of that.
Noone can help me?

New radio actually improved my speeds for ATT
Did it start immediately after you flashed FroYo or sometime afterwards?
I'm also here in Philadelphia on T-Mobile and am having the exact same issue. It began immediately after flashing. I'm quite frustrated at this point.
My N1 is not rooted. I went from stock 2.1 to stock 2.2.
Im also getting slower speeds here in miami. I kept the stock radio but changed from gsm auto prl to wcdma preffered and my data is close to 20 percent quicker according to speedtest.net app. i tried it over and over again on the smae spot and it was consistent. I went back to gsm auto prl and again my data got slower.

My upload speeds are actually fine. Here are my last few speedtest.net results (all are in kbps from the comcast server in philadelphia):
Down/Up
38/1350
26/1205
43/1406
4/1205
21/1467
I was not having any issues until I made the upgrade this morning to Froyo.
I disabled 3G and am downloading around 190kbps.
Do we need to change the radio? Is Tmobile in Philly having 3G issues? I can't keep my phone as is with such a slow data connection.
Im having the same problem. It started right after I flashed froyo with the new radio. Im on tmob in dallas. Is it only people with tmobile that are having this problem?

For Speedtest, switch the server. Don't use the Miami server. It sux and gives really low speeds... I'm in Miami also and I always thought my speed sucked, i switched the server in speed test and i'm getting 1.1Mbps Down and around 800Kbps Up

H-holy CRRRAAAAAAAAP.
So, I ran a new speed test at mobilespeedtest to replace the test I ran with my SGS almost two years ago, and it was insane. But what gets me the most is that I decided to run the test through my desktop browser too, at the 7MB test.
My Vivid's LTE connection was FASTER than my desktop connection. I have a 25mbit/s connection for my server, with absolutely no data being transferred beyond the speed test, with a 1gbit/s connection between all of the machines connected to my router.
Desktop Results: 10256Kbps (Approx. 10mbit)
LTE Results: 11940Kbps (Approx. 11.6mbit)
Pre-PTA APN Results: 3925Kbps (Approx. 3.8mbit)
Thanks again for PTA APN settings!

for me 3.0 update or fresh install kicked out the APN even with a full wipe. But making a new APN thanks JEANRIVERA above data is back fine and this 3.0 for me is much fastier over 2.4 . thank you, very nice indeed update..
Big thanks!.. I've been playing around with a couple VZW phones on AT&T(Droid DNA and Droid Razr HD).. I could pickup H on the DNA but no better then Edge on the HD. That was until I plugged in the Apn configuration from the OP!.. Almost instantly switched over to H+. While its not VZW LTE speeds honestly I'm perfectly content. For some reason LTE speeds haven't been the same in my area since that nationwide drop out a few months back.. The best I get on any of my devices is a 6-8meg down. Thanks again!!!
i just upgraded from the evo 3d 4g isnt available in my area im in Monterey county but i was exacting the same speeds that i was getting with the evo 3d but this is just ridiculous, maybe i got a faulty radios with this device because my evo 3d was never this slow or is there something with the setting i can change to make it better i was really amped up to get this phone but at this point i am disappointed and want to return it
Try updating the PRL and Profile.
I have the exact opposite experience coming from the Nexus S 4G. S4 seems to receive the 3G signal better, and I am very pleased with the LTE coverage so far. I am in Minneapolis, so YMMV...

Your local tower/site might be being upgraded to LTE. If so, you should expect some down time. My site literally went offline for a few days (100% roaming on Verizon) until they finished whatever upgrade they were doing. Got LTE about a week later. But as stated, your mileage may vary.

My S4 is the same speed on 3g as my Evo 4G LTE and as our S3. I used Speedtest to verify. I'd take the phone into a Sprint store and run Speedtest on it compared to their display model. Turn wireless off on both phones first, of course.

If you don't have upgraded towers, your service should remain the same. If not, I would suggest you get your new phone looked at since it's still under warranty.

I'm coming from a Nexus S 4G too and this phone has so much better reception, especially wifi. Don't really get LTE that often though, which is kind of disappointing because I actually had pretty good WiMAX coverage. But I know LTE coverage will only get better with time.
Signal != Data speed. If your signal is good but your data speed is slow, it's most likely that the sector is overloaded or the site is currently backhaul limited. It sounds like the site you connect to hasn't had Network Vision upgrades yet. Go familiarize yourself with Network Vision over at s4gru.com.
Call sprint before you return it. I had the same thing. I had great signal with my HTC Evo 3d and when I switched to the S4, I was dropping calls like crazy and with 1 bar or no signal. Found out that they were updating the towers and I also have 4g in my area now. Woot!

I might be in a re-farmed area, but so far I'm getting 4g, and LTE exactly the same as my tmobile iphone 5. Maybe it's already AWS unlocked? How do I tell?

I am only getting 3G on T-Mobile and I'm in a TMO 4G area that has not been re-farmed. I wonder how you are getting 4G??

Yes, I got the unlock code from them yesterday and the first thing I did was to pop my TMO sim in. Only 3G for me. So then I check my apn settings and configure it for fast.tmo but that doesn't even connect up, had to us EPC.tmo for the 3g to connect.
Did you have to mess with your APN settings?
It took about 3 minutes after putting the SIM in for it to auto configure. Then rebooted and data came online all bands. APN is epc.
Maybe you need a different SIM?

I'd have to second the notion that you might need a new SIM.
I've been taking screen shots. I've had every data possible. e, 3g, h+, 4g, and LTE. The ATT unlock code definately unlocks the AWS flag in the NVRAM.

When I got the code from AT&T it took less than 10mins and I don't even have AT&T. But now they got a new rule about giving unlock codes I had to call twice because the first person wouldn't give me the code but the second did.

S4 Active on T mobile with 4G and LTE (aws). It actually gets better signal at my house than my Tmobile Iphone 5 (edge) and my S4A will get H+.

When I went into this menu *#*#4636#*#* I go into phone then selecting network mode.
You will see it says LTE and loads of others.
Can any dev confirm if this phone is LTE capable please. Thanks
I'm not dev but i'm sure, our phone is not LTE capable

If i remember correctly the nexus 4 also had this on same menu but never had LTE but then the LTE modem was released thus enabling it. All other non lte devices do not have lte listed under this menu. That's a fact I look in this menu on hundreds of devices.
Don't think they do LTE. What model s3 mini do you have?

I have the NFC edition GT-I890N. Looking on my old desire s it does not have this in that menu it has only wcdma and other but no LTE
Also a little note. If i Select LTE/GSM/CDMA AUTO then come off the menu and go bk in again it stays at what I set it too
AFAIK the S3 Mini is not LTE compatible.

Well, try it out then and let us know if there's any difference in network speed.

I have had it on LTE/GSM/CDMA AUTO now for a good few hours. I used bittorrent client for android to download a 720p film from yify torrents site. Same file so was the same 829mb size for both downloads.
On normal network ( wcdma ) I had a average DL speed of 1,2mbps
But on the LTE selected band I had not a huge jump increase it wa averaged at 1.4mbps so there is n obvious speed increase but that could be for a different reason. I will go head and use apeedtest.net and post results after.

That's the lte band is double my normal speed

Does the phone show an LTE icon? Also what does it say in Status?

No just a H but now and then for. Very few seconds it shows a H+ but that's only if I toggle data on and off really. In my nexus 4 it does not show a LTE icon when in 4g it only shows H+.

Even, if there is an option called "LTE/GSM/CDMA", our phone cannot switch to LTE
Our phone is not LTE capable and never will be

Piskor look at gsmareana at nexus 4 it says no LTE BUT nexus 4 DOES have LTE thanks to a hybrid modem so them websites mean nothing
Not to ruin you day Lol but the nexus 4 was said to never get LTE either but it has got it thanks to great developers. I might take my phone apart and take a closer look at the hardware components. Also if that was true why is my phone able to select the LTE band and not only that it stays on that LTE band even if I reboot. So it recognises that the user selected the LTE band and it changed to it also I just found out o2 does not use 4g so I will try again with my contract EE sim and check again and give another update

Try to choose "LTE only" and you will see, what will happen Nothing Menu returns to "WCDMA preffered" (in my case)
Nexus 4 is completely different thing. There must be flashed the hacked modem, there must be set different APN
And something about your speed result http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/744650636
It's nothing special. You obtained only 6.59Mb/s / 2.33Mb/s but our phone on 3G is capable to operate with HSDPA 14.4 Mbps and HSUPA 5.76 Mbps
<EOT>
The NovaThor U8500 system-on-a-chip on S3 Mini doesn't have LTE support so it's impossible for LTE to function on our devices
