So I have been having super slow data issues with my nexus...WiFi works like normal but when im on H+ im getting horrible speeds.
This is basically the speed tests ive been doing for a while usually exactly .12mbps but varies every now and then a tad.

APN setup for Solavei(Tmo)
Tried *#*#4636#*#* and did LTE/GSM/CDMA WCDMA Preferred WCDMA Auto
Tried Stock Rom
Tried CM 10.1
Solavei says its network issues but i dont think so they also said it wont be fixed until the new year...
Google says my phone might be defective but it worked perfectly for 2 weeks...
My friend who lives ~5miles away doesn't have the issue with his nexus 4 on the same network
I live in the NYC/Long Island Area - Anyone else nearby have these issues
Sorry Idk how to not resize that photo 0_o
I've had issues with T-Mobile too the last few days. I'm in Minnesota though.

Have you tried doing a speedtest at the same time at your friend's house? I'd say it's either a software or network issue with your carrier.
A baseband doesn't turn defective randomly.
Yea i done them side by side and i only have this issue..can i change or upgrade my baseband somehow. Idk what really controls the data on my phone radio...baseband...etc

It's baseband. I believe there's only one baseband available.
Mines at the moment is M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.33
Did you change any kernels, ROMs before you started having this problem?
What kind of SIM card do you have? How old? Have another device to try speed testing the 3G/4G data with your SIM card?

Yea I did a rom one time that asked which kernel I thought I did Franco's but it was a while ago and I dont remember. The sim is less than a month old and its a micro sim from Solavei and I do have another phone to test it out thats a great idea. Im gonna check it out on my HTC one S. Would changing the kernal get my baseband changed and how do i find out what I have currently

No. Nothing will change your baseband. Does your current baseband match the ones I said?
Reset your APN as well if you haven't already. Definitely trying it on another phone will help determine what's the culprit of the issue. Let us know and report back.

It's kernel not kernal. No. Kernels controls WiFi, not 3G.
It's most likely your SIM card or indeed Solavei is having network problems. Probably SIM card if you and your friend were at the same location and you had lower speeds.

13Mbps? I don't believe I've seen such speeds while in the Bronx or Manhattan. I'm lucky to even get near 2Mb.
So this is my plan google is gonna send me a new phone in 3-5 weeks since they think its a phone issue. My friend is also going to get me a new micro sim to make sure my sim isnt the thing thats broken as well.

I'm having this happen on SIMPLE mobile which runs off tmobile. For the 1st week it was working perfectly got speeds between 7 - 15mb download. Then all of a sudden the speeds started being 0.24mb EVERY SINGLE TIME. I've talked to these reps and they assure me that my day isn't throttled ( I've used 1gb in the first week) no one can figure I out. I am on the .33 baseband also and this seemed to happen after I switched to the latest Xylon rom. I still truly believe it's either the baseband or they're throttling my data and won't admit it. My last choice is to get a new sim card but I don't feel like arguing cause I know they'll try to charge me $10 and it's not guaranteed that that the problem. Let us know if your new sim worked normal or if you're still get getting crappy speeds. Btw I'm in CT about 40 mins from Manhattan.
I'm in NYC and my service with T-Mobile is garbage... I get less than 2g and I've called numerous times to complain.... They are now "investigating" the towers in my area.
I wish this phone would run on Verizon.
I don't care how expensive they are - they are true to their word.....lte is missed so much by me
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Nothing wrong with the tower or the phone. Those are TMO throttle speeds. Solavei can suck a nut. How data did you eat this month?
This is why so many of us are on the $30 TMO 100min 5gb 4g plan.

here is what my sim card from best buy looks like
I ran 5 test with Speakeasy.net yesterday at work and got an average of 4.67 Mbps but the same poor upload speeds. I don't think those are HSPA+ speeds yet.

The download certainly is, but the upload hasn't been updated yet according to AT&T. The highest speeds I ever got was 3.5 Mbps but closer to where I live I get about 1 Mbps.
i got these 4.5-5.5 download speeds (same cappy upload though) in Texas at home.
After a week the speeds are back to crap...
I'm lucky if I get over 2mbps. I'm using a micro sim and micro similar adapter tho. Does everyone else have "4g" sim cards now? Is their a noticeable difference

A sim card is just a sim card..its not going to give you faster speeds just because the art on it says 4G. I still use my old Cingular sim card and I get the same speeds as everyone else is getting.

You do not need a 4G sim card for the Atrix. H+ is just an improved 3G technology. The new 4G sim cards are only required for LTE and they are just backwards compatible. So the AT&T rep was just trying to make you feel better.

Again.....this it true. My understanding is there is no real advantage to getting a newer simcard. I am not invoking authority, but a bunch of VSGs (very smart guys) I used to work with said this and explained it to me, so that is what I think. That being said, I have an open mind.... But as far as I know, it doesn't matter.
I'm getting 2.7-3.8Mbs download but crappy 0.2Mbs upload, but keep in mind I don't get over 2 bars of signal in my house and that's where I've been testing. The wife has an iPhone 4 so I'll have to compare the two side by side. I've been using the Speed Test app, but I'll have to try the speakeasy.net site next time.

Even with that being the case, it certainly doesn't hurt to have a future-proof SIM card, no?

Yeah, nothing wrong with that. My point is that there are people telling others that it is "required" when it isn't. It's not going to matter, they will only have an effect if it's in a LTE capable phone so if in the "future" you decide to get one you can get the sim card then.

Really Sprint? This is retarded. I pay $10 extra for "premium data" and I don't even have 4G in my area, let alone worth while 3G.
But thanks for the $30 credit on my $190 bill I got slapped with this month.
US Cellular customers in the area get blazing fast 3G speeds...
I would have switched but I love my Evo Shift so much
Tried the latest radio upgrade, nothing new...
I'm smack dab in Waterloo, IA
WHY WOULD YOU LIE SPRINT?
Sorry, just venting a little bit. Anybody else near me getting the same crap 3G speeds?
I have the same problems with My phone. I believe it might be cm7. When I was sense I got about .60-.90 mbps upload. Now I can barely get passed .30 mbps upload and sometimes it shows .10mbps upload.
I also noticed on cm7 that i go into 1x a lot now. Places where I would usually get 3g I get 1x signal. It's kind of a pain.
edit: At first I thought the radio update did something, but it really didn't help.

download MslReader from the Market to get your MSL code.
dial ##3282#
Select: Edit Mode
Enter MSL code
Select: Advance
Scroll all the way to the bottom.
Change only the last two lines.
Http Proxy Port to 0 that is a "Zero"
Http Proxy address to 0.0.0.0
Press menu and commit Modifications and exit out. Reboot phone and test the speed again.
Please post back your results.
Goodluck!

I'm not sure if you meant 'Reset' or 'Restore' --- but, there is an issue if you update your data profile and then update PRL that will cause your data profile to get messed up.. I followed the steps in this thread, and now my 3G is perfect... Specifically - the portion dealing with restoring, having the phone reboot, letting it to handsfree activation, and then cancelling the PRL update.
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/280082-major-solution-fix-your-slow-3g-speeds-evo4g.html
I was only getting a maximum of 90-100kbps before doing this..
If you want the essentials of that post:
Select Data Profile
Hit Menu
Select restore
Hit OK to reboot...
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR PHONE
After going through the set up process (Handsfree Activation, LET IF FINISH) you will select ok
YOU HAVE TO HIT CANCEL WHEN IT STARTS LOOKING FOR A PRL UPDATE
YOU HAVE TO HIT CANCEL WHEN IT STARTS LOOKING FOR A PRL UPDATE
Wait for the phone to finish it's thing. 3g Icon should be on, go off, then come back on.

The best I've seen is 4.6 and that's a good 30 miles from my house.
It's evened out for me since launch. I would get like 480kbps at work and like 8mbps at home, and now I'm getting like 1.2mbps at work and around 6mbps at home. Elsewhere things have improved too, especially in the downtown Orlando area, where I easily pull 7mbps all the time, and more areas are getting to be like this too.

i don't know. I didn't know that there was a '3G sim card'. It was my Vibrant until i gave it to my wife. I've been with t-monglol (incorrect spelling is on purpose) for about 10 years, and it seems i've gotten a new sim card in the mail about 5 years ago. Maybe I need to have the official updated 4G sim card? I'll probably need to spend that additional $10/month for to get 4G speeds.
I guess to achieve the detailed stats on out download and upload speeds, i'll have to download an app to measure it. But, it just seems my wife and I are the sames speeds. When I download a rom (90mbs+) it takes the same time on both phones.

I rooted and am using the latest nightly on CM7, something I had to do though was flash a new radio, before I could never get past 3G and was always at .5 - 1.5 mbps. Flashed the new radio and consistent 4G speeds, average 7.5 mbps.

The closer you are to the cities, the better the signal is.

seems like my speeds are increasing slowly day by day....
Anyone else deal with this? I am getting great signal (same on my phone) But they data is just abhorrent. I usually hover in the sub 100kb/s area in my down speed. And that is when it chooses to bestow data on me at all.
Any ideas?
Are you getting 3G or EDGE? I'm connected through AT&T 3G at the moment and it's rather speedy. I usually clock in around 3mbps. The speed you describe is more typical of EDGE.

I can be connected to the 3g/H network and get crap speeds too. At&t is weak in my area (Southern California).
Yeah, I am getting 3g/H all of the time (never edge)
I am in NYC of all places it should be super fast.
We both live in populated areas - does the number of users on the net account for our slow speeds?

And there is what I mean...
I'm getting the same abysmal speeds on my galtab on AT&T with Overcome ROM and the JK3 modem. It bounces between H and 3G all the time.
I'm in the Seattle area, and people with iPhones get great speeds.
To top it all off, somehow AT&T somehow thinks I'm using 90% of my 250mb every month at these pitiful speeds.

Pain AND suffering. Maybe time to try the JPD modem?

I just flashed JPD and there was no change, but then I tried KM2 and now I'm getting awesome speeds.
Thanks!
JPD slight improvement.
I'm in Seattle...not sure what happened but km2 was blazing fast at first, then it slowed down.
Back to jpd, and its better, but still faster than before.
Edit: JPD did the same thing as Km2, started out fast, then slowed waaay down. I'm back on KM2 again, lets see how this handles for awhile.

My speeds are ok my service just sucks
I'm not sure what to tell you. I'm on stock ROM, stock modem, in a somewhat major city and I always pull pretty good speeds, well fast enough for streaming YouTube and Netflix.
I do know that NYC is not AT&T's best friend. People tend to have a pretty poor experience with the service there. But Seattle, no idea. Try a SIM pull, as that severs the registration with the tower and forces a fresh one which usually results in a much better connection. Failing that, I'd either blame the region (less likely) or the device (rather likely).

AT&T Download - terrible!
Having the same problem in the NYC area. Does anyone know the answer to a few questions:
Which is the best AT&T modem for voice and data on Gingerbread?
What are the correct/optimal APN Settings for this config?
Could AT&T be crippling this because I switched the SIM from a free-o "smartphone" I had to buy to get voice and data? (I have the tethered plan just so I don't get nastry-grams from them)?
Do you have to pull the SIM each time you re--flash the modem to reset the network?
I just switched to AT&T because I need telephony on the Tab (had T-mo and couldn't take the modem/switch thing).
Thanks in advance for any help.

I can't answer about the modem, but the apn setting that you'll need to use, if Broadband doesn't work, is ISP.cingular (no username or password); both are potentially available when you have a tethering plan. The wap.cingular apn cannot be programmed on the Tab when using the stock ROM.
I've used a couple SIM cards for a couple different lines aside from the SIM provided with the Tab and there has been no effect on the connection speed. In fact, I never even activated the SIM that came with it.
But at&t can see the device you're using by virtue of the fact that your SIM is inserted and connected. If they want, they can, and in some cases will, nail you for using a device that's not authorized with your line. Remember that US companies will not classify this as a smartphone as they do elsewhere in the world...it's more in the realm of the netbook, and technically warrants an according plan.

AT&T APN and Modem Settings
I am on the OC Jupiter ROM so no problem editing APN settings. I didn't activate the SIM that came with the Tab and I canceled the plan last week to be sure I wouldn't be billed.
I bought the tethering plan to be sure I wouldn't run afoul of their contract. I don't want to do anything but use the device I paid for with the features Samsung baked into it. Seems nuts that we have to go through these hoops when the folks in Europe have been enjoying fully functional devices for nearly a year now.
I re-set the APN to the default after re-flashing the JK3 modem yesterday and at it jumped up from .7 mbps to just under 3 mbps. Still not optimal (I used to get 5 mbps on TMo service/Tab, but no phone - that's another story). I now have to remember to tick the in-call volume down two notches and as I am testing again this morning the speed has fallen off some again.
Will try your apn settings and let you know if I have better luck. Thanks for the advice!
I've been rocking the KM2 modem since last week with my prepaid AT&T (APN: Broadband), and have been getting really good speeds throughout the Seattle area.
I'd say for my tab, it's a winner!
What rom are you using?
Have you used a voice and data sim with that modem? You would have to select the wap.cingular apn, and have a rom different than stock (stock won't let you use any apn other than Broadband).
On Overcome ROM
@rangercaptain - I am on the OC Jupiter ROM, and have a voice/data SIM from AT&T. Have the WAP.Cingular APN and added Broadband. That in and of itself boosted the speed to 2.5 mbps down, which is ok but not great. Was on the JK3 modem (and have to keep remembering that volume control is two ticks down). Just switched to KM2 based on @mykie242's report.
Speed tests don't go above 1.2 mbps down now, but the browser does seem to be a whole lot faster (really odd). Will use for a couple of days, then try JPD and report back.
I am in the NY Metro area if that helps. Many thanks again!

Not to pick a nit, but stock will permit you to add isp.cingular, the basic, pre-broadband tethering APN.

Straight Talk a MVNO using AT&T network. Data is limited to 2Gb (soft cap i think) and everything else unlimited.
Use any compatible UMTS phone even the AT&T iphone 4 or 4s. Back then you had to buy the e71 phone now they have sims/micro sim for $15
Everything works just configure the proper apn information.

I wonder how fast their data downstream is... I'm assuming not as fast as AT&T obviously since its proxied and I'm assuming can't tap into their HSPA+ network.. can anyone confirm? Couldn't really find much on their website.

That means you'll get a ST SIM tied to T-Mobile. Not a good thing if you tend to venture away from major metropolitan areas.

Straightalk is scam and ripoff
Didn't work for me. I cannot even use SMS with their unlimited $45 plan. Data is down as well. I'm on Straighttalk AT&T SIM card. Customer support reset the options on their side twice, but it didn't help. I tried two different phones with this SIM card to no avail.

sounds like the apns are not correct. I have been running straighttalk sim on atrix 4g for allmost 6 months. have to enter the apns every time i flash a ICS rom. If you do not put them in correctly no data. (i think 1 time i had a capital letter that was supposed to be lowercase and it did not work)
I have the iPhone 4 on Straight Talk and I love my fast unlimited 3G.
Of course I have everything working including mms.
