Good Nexus S review

http://www.intomobile.com/2010/12/2...ed&utm_campaign=Feed:+IntoMobile+(IntoMobile)
Best Nexus S review I've seen, but I do have one question. I just assumed the Nex S had hspa+ when I bought it but its stated often in this article that it doesnt. Ive done speedtests in a 4G area mutiple times and I consistantly get 5-7 mb/s which is the same my G2 gets in the same area. So is it just my G2 has a higher potential speed assuming perfect conditions?

yes, the G2 has a higher speed potential the Nexus S supports HSPA 7.2

Exactly. Speed depends not only on your hardware but how much bandwidth is pushed through the towers. So if your area is only allocated 7 mb/s, that's what you'll get even if your phone can do 21 mb/s. Really the only thing that type of speed is good for is tethering. Our browsers will do just fine on 1 mb/s. Now, to go read that review...

The review is alright but I do not like how much focus was on benchmarks, hspa+, and HD video recording.

I ran a speed test on my Nexus S against my brothers Evo "4G", which was on 4G...and my Nexus S came out on top, both times:

The wifi test were taken on his 4G connection while tethering, we tested his connection directly from his phone and it was the same speed

Don't feel bad. Mine isn't always much better. I am normally on wifi when I need to do web surfing or anything major. I see you are in Dallas which I guess I could understand the speeds because of major usage. I live in a small city and still get somewhat pathetic times, usually just a little bit faster than dialup.

Ouch. I have WiFi too, but it's also an unreliable POS because it drops out every ten minutes. I'm thinking of switching, but the only other carrier that has a decent signal is Verizon, but 5GBs of data is a killer. I often pass 6GBs on my EVO.

Is the wifi a hotspot problem or a phone problem? If it is a hotspot problem then I would flash an updated firmware for it. I had a linksys with that problem and the firmware fixed it. You could also try changing the wireless channel in the routers configuration.

It's a Sprint problem.

I switched and got unlimited data on Verizon with the hotspot trick

I read on here that they catch on and put it back to what it was.

Yea no ones confirmed just hear say, someone heard someone say they heard it happened to them so it must be true

Nexus 5x T-Mobile speeds

I have to admit, after ordering my Nexus 5x i was a little worried thinking the lack of Band 12 til T-Mobile/Google gets it sorted out was going to give me crap signal. Boy was I wrong! [emoji1] Obviously this is all relative to location, but I couldn't be happier with these results and willing to wait for official Band 12 support.

While I don't see speeds that high, I do agree on being pleasantly surprised with the 5X speeds on T-Mobile. I get considerable higher speeds than I did on my Moto X 2014, and LTE signal in a couple places the Moto would drop to edge. Considering Moto has a reputation for having some of the best radios, I was happy to see a noticeable signal increase with the 5X.

T-Mo user here as well. I have to say this is the strongest radio I have had in a phone yet. I even get a signal in my basement without band 12. Well done LG.

I´ve seem similar results on att. Much faster than any previous phone i've had.

It's also nice how the phone can take voice calls over LTE without falling back to H or H+. Can browse the web wile on hold

Has speedtest app been updated in the last 2-3 years?

H0tep, it was just updated last week.

I'm getting similar speeds on Sprint when I'm at work. At home though, i get about 1/3 that.

Well, my Verizon only gets 68.47M download speed. so sad

Since I moved my SIM from my Moto X Pure Edition to the 5x I've only been able to get a connection of 5mb down and .50mb up. Not sure what it could be

T-Mobile GPRS settings

That's the name I'm seeing on my device and under in small print it says
Fast. T-Mobile. Com my data speeds are 1-3mbps normally see 35+ . I called T-Mobile to no avail. I thought GPRS WAS 2G?

I'm pretty sure that as long as the APN settings are correct, it doesn't matter what the actual APN is named. Are you on an unlimited plan and if so do you consume a lot of data each month? They may have slowed you down temporarily if you're in your area's peak hours.

I have same settings but it's LTE, that's the proper setting. Worry not the name

Ok thank you all and I'm on unlimited but have been on WiFi.. I know my note 4 pulls 35+ down but this nexus is barely getting 1mbps.... Customer service tried to say unlocked devices may not receive the same speeds etc

Its rare that a Customer Rep would know the correct answer, you'll get 10 different answers from 10 Rep's!

I changed my apn from default to the Nexus 6 settings....a quick Google search will take you to the T-Mobile support page. Haven't had an issue, except sometimes mms doesn't send, and I'll get duplicate messages especially from my girlfriend's iPhone 6s plus

T-Mobile speed issue

So start off by saying I have the 10gb plan but I only have used about 1gb of my data . when I put my phone to gsm/lte auto my speeds are **** I mean like super low but when I put the radio to gsm only which makes it hspa+ its about 5 Mbps. So my question is why is lte slower then hspa+ heres some pictures with speed test of hspa+ and lte

I've noticed some LTE speed issues as well on the 6p when connected to band 4. Somewhat tower dependant as well..but anyways upload is often weaker then other devices including the 5x side by side. It's almost as the 6p throttles of around 10mbs whereas other devices get the full 30 Megs. My suspicion is it has something to do with t-mobile's configuration on their end and the qualcom 810 chip in the 6p.
In your case I wonder if you are connecting to band 12 as it has limited capacity anyways. You can check with the LTE discovery app.
