How's the data connectivity so far?
Has it been reliable? If so, more reliable than your previous phone?
How is the reception and call quality?
What was your previous phone and how does it compares to the SGS3?
Let's find out how good this phone is on T-Mobile network versus other phones.

Wow, that's looking pretty good!
Do you stream videos at all? I am interested to know if it can hold a good connection while watching videos on YouTube for example and not buffer every 15 seconds.
That's one of my main concerns and want to be sure before buying two SGS3 as my wife and I both stream lots of videos on YouTube and netflix.

T-Mobile Network Speeds
This thread is to compile YOUR Network speeds. I have been curious of what everyone is getting and in what area/ market.
With T-Mobile updating Markets, spectrum and eventually LTE.
This isnt Based on Strictly the Galaxy SIII but any T-Mobile Device.

To respond to your question in the other thread, I had a Galaxy S Vibrant before, so it's notably faster being on the HSPA+ network. That said, the wifi definitely connected faster, not sure if it's noticeably faster or not, I'll have to use it some more.

SGSIII vs SGS4G
Well, my old phone is actually a Vibrant but I decided to test it against my girlfriends vibrant+ to see the difference in 4g speeds. My phone gets terrible ping for some reason, but the speed is much better than her phone(using the latest kj6 modem). This is north of San Antonio using a San Marcos server. The first speed test is from Wichita, KS
I don't know but I think I hit a freak spot because this area is always crazy fast
this was with the old SII

i can pull 6mbs up north of the river sometimes even 8-9
Yeah I was over in Independence (KC Area) one day sitting in a parking lot and I was getting 6's and 7's down. But I my house I barely get a regular Sprint signal.
Damn - no luck. Guess I'll just have to wait until the signal is stronger down this far south.

got this standing in a drive way in Olathe
At my work in O.P. - Indoors - just recently we are getting 8-9 - I even hit 10 once...
when i first got the EVO we were only getting 3-4 indoors or anywhere for that matter
-
FTR I can only get 4g Indoors in my house on the top floor next to a window..
let me know if there is a KC EVO meet up
Not in KC, but still in Missouri here. In STL I've hit 9.5Mbps max down, with an average around 7.5Mbps.
Too bad I have to drive north 60 miles to pick it up
Oh well, I'll have it eventually, I'm in a (relatively) good sized market to Sprint, and I'm in a bubble of 3G thats ~30 miles wide that theres nothing on either side of but north to STL. I'll get it before some people but not early.

We have reviewed your recent coverage concern, and you may qualify to be part of a free in-home device trial! The device is designed to boost 3G signal inside your home. We look forward to speaking with you regarding your eligibility...
..contact info, etc..etc...
So I qualified.. The requirements included one bar 3g signal. 3g device, data plan blah... Moderate service, a land line for 911 calls, and single family home.. No apts or highrises I guess..
So I'm in this test group of 1000 lucky tmo customers that get one of these little in home 3g boosters,

It would be compared to a femtocell... I'm not sure how well they work or the signal strength.. This cel-fi receiver works really well.. The signal drops when I go outside.. So it doesn't put out a whole lot of extra signal.. But it is very reliable/consistent..
This uses an existing 3g signal.. It keeps a very constant connection too.. The base fluctuates between 1 and 2 bars and the output box has a 9 for signal output. It dropped down to 4 and 5 last night but I was still getting full service 3g..
I've been able to upload and download files like never before.. This has seriously changed my perspective of tmo... I'm not even in a "true" 3g area.. I get flow over from 2 bigger cities 45 mins north and south of me..

although I think you said that this simply repeats an existing 3g signal, can you confirm that this does NOT use your home broadband connection?
Is the repeater in any way connected to your home network?
The repeater is not connected to anything, or plug into anything beside a power cord.. Just uses the existing 3g network

What carrier are you on?
There are definitely issues with Nexus S 3G.
Not that serious, but they are present.
For example, I have visual contact with a 3G tower when I'm at home. I get signal readings into the high 50s, low 60s dBm while in the house. Even then, there are times when the phone switches to 2G.
Why on earth a baseband processor would decide that is beyond my understanding.
All other phones in the house never leave 3G...

I have the same problem: 3G is slow for my Nexus S. I also have an iPhone and a HTC Desire HD and they are faster...
This is what I get using my Nexus S on the Rogers network. If you want faster uncapped speeds on the fido/rogers network just flash KB3 radio.

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Sounds like you have the wrong nexus s for your carrier to me. You sound like you got a model that only works on the 2g bands.
I only get a little under 3mbit down and just over 2mbit up. I don't really consider it slow though. I never have problems with mine switching to 2g or anything like that either. Again, just because you are standing right next to a tower, doesn't mean it's the phone. There are many more factors to consider than distance/sight of a signal tower.
Changed my kernel to Matrix and now my speeds are even quicker using KB3 radio on the Rogers network
Is it my imagination or are speeds improving as more power users abandon the Evo for non-Wimax devices?
I'm now getting 8 megs in a place where I was barely able to connect a year ago.
(Network Vision rollout probably has something to do with this, I know, but I still believe it has to do with fewer users overall..)
And my best reception area has improved from 8 to over 10.
sub-80ms ping times don't hurt either..

Actually, you're right to mention the flip side of improved 4G: rapidly deteriorating 3G. Maybe a lot of Evo LTE power users are saturating their local 3G networks waiting for Sprint to light up LTE in their areas. Cause around here at least it's just getting ridiculous. See screen shot - can you guess which speeds are 4G and which ones are 3G?

Actually, you're right to mention the flip side of improved 4G: rapidly deteriorating 3G. Maybe a lot of Evo LTE power users are saturating their local 3G networks waiting for Sprint to light up LTE in their areas. Cause around here at least it's just getting ridiculous. See screen shot - can you guess which speeds are 4G and which ones are 3G?

Around Austin I can get 6-9 mps on the average. Speeds are awesome for me its just the fact that connection cuts in and out randomly.

At work 2 miles north if home I have full 4G coverage and have gotten ridiculous 20mbps speeds before. At home though it is fair to poor reception with an average of 4-5mbps, when I can connect. 3g has been horrible the past 4 months here all around. Good reception at work, no reception at home (thank god for my airave), bad speeds everywhere. Vision is supposed to be live shortly, we'll see if that makes any difference.

Is it my imagination or are speeds improving as more power users abandon the Evo for non-Wimax devices?
I'm now getting 8 megs in a place where I was barely able to connect a year ago.
(Network Vision rollout probably has something to do with this, I know, but I still believe it has to do with fewer users overall..)
And my best reception area has improved from 8 to over 10.
sub-80ms ping times don't hurt either..

I guess so...it just isn't consistent with those speeds. One test rendered 10mbps and the very next was 5. 5 has always been the average here in Nashville, Tennessee.
I live in the heart of my city and its suppose to have 4g, I don't get it at home. If I travel 11 miles to work in the burbs I get 4g.
I haven't noticed wimax speeds increase but I have seen 3g get a boost. Hopefully that means wimax is next as lte is getting setup.
