I completely agree. Huge issue with the phone.

Wow, that's not good. I wonder how long Sprint will let that happen...I mean even AT&T throws minutes around in their commercials, maybe Sprint can throw some in the bag

I can confirm this issue. I've had the phone for four hours now and time just goes by. It's really quite frustrating. Sprint better get on this immediately.

I notice the uploads are no where near EVDO RevA. I'm getting about 130 or so now up and on my Hero I got in the 600 range.

I've noticed terrible speeds on speedtest apps, yet everything loads so much faster than the hero because of the processor. Don't even notice the crappy signal as its irrelevant. Wish I could test 4G... maybe next week.

Damn! My boss is going to be really upset with me over this issue. Seems I will be spending lots of time trying to find a fix for it

I got the phone this morning EST, and have not put the MF'r down. I saw this thread and was like wtf??? Funny stuff.

Battery life sucks

2 hours on the phone did this to my battery. Screen time was 48 mins. Screen was off on call using BT. Phone was red hot after call

It is something you installed or something on your setting up the phone.
this phone battery is amazing , trust me it is.
I get screen on times , unthinkable to my previous phones with brightness way way higher
so.. just try to figure out what is eating your batt and why.
edit:
then again you didnt start your battery log with 100% batt
and your drain was due to a very phone cal (?) With screen off, but your network signal suck really bad, maybe is from there ? But even with low coverage I find it hard to imagine that drain.
But then again.. never had low coverage ..

Yeah I can assure you it's something in your settings that is giving you poor life. You didn't give much description of what they are so it's tough for me to help you with what to fix, or how much knowledge you already have. I recommend BetterBatteryStats and Battery Mix for starters.

Install BBS (Better Battery Stats) and find the rogue application that is causing battery drain.
Battery life for me is amazing. I get close to 28-30 hours with mid - heavy usage.

Your signal during this two hour call was awful. Keeping a connection while not using the phone is a battery sucker in these conditions. I imagine it is much more so when you are actually on the phone. I'd suspect that as the culprit, as the radio has to be pumped up to the max constantly, instead of every minute or so.

I had a note 2 on same network and never saw this kind of drain. I think this qualcomm chip is ****. In my settings my cpu was at 2.27ghz for 1 hour 43 mins! Why was my cpu maxed out while making a simple call.?

Android system & android os battery drain

Android system & android os seem to be draining my battery quite alot. An unusual amount. Anyone have any idea why?

20 Hours at 63 percent? That is outstanding battery time..
I dont see why your complaining.. I get close to 2 days on my battery with average use..
Looks pretty normal to me.. In fact better than most IMO

But the Android os and system don't start until I actually use the device. It's only 2 hours on screen time

Check this thread out if youre on 4.4.2 kitkat http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595158
4.4.2 battery life is terrible
Your battery drain might be due to google play services and other apps running in the background

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?

Etc wtf
?!?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

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
