Hi all, got my note 3 on Friday and I am wondering if the wi-fi is running completely OK. I get a message for instable wifi when get more than 8m from my router.
Same for you guys?

I found this particularly annoying as it shows even when the wifi is strong. You can disable the "feature" in wifi advanced sttings, just untick "Auto Network Switch"
Once I unticked that the message goes away and wifi works better I have not noticed any adverse effects.

Hi to all,
I bought the Note 3 yesterday.
Normally at night i use a lot youtube to see the news and other stuff
With the Note 3, the movies stoped several times during presentation, and it was strange because with my Galaxy S2 never got that
Then i tried to see the same movies with the S2 and they never stopped...
To check the wi-fi connectivity and speed i instaled the ookla speedtest and the results where this
Galaxy S2 - 21mbps download and 2mbps upload
Note 3 - 8 mbps download and 1,5 mbps upload
I repeated several times this test, at the same distance, selectiong the same server and the S2 was clean and stable at 20
mbps and the Note 3 was very unstable and the maximum speed was 8mbps
Can someone test this? comparing the wi-fi speed with two phones, same aplication, same distance, same server?
Thanks in advance

I am getting relatively low and inconsistent speeds on my Nexus 7 wifi connection. Anyone know what might be going on.
I have a Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 side by side, same network, same profile, same connection data.
If I run speedtest.net on the Galaxy Nexus I am getting good speeds. 20000kbps down 20000kbps down
On the Nexus 7 I frequently get as low as 1000kpbs up, and at best I get 8000
I am rooted, and using the WiFi fix package that was required for my office (on both devices)
Any thoughts ?

WiFi fix package? I'm not sure what that is exactly, but perhaps it is causing some issue on the N7, whereas it isn't causing an issue on the GN, but I have no idea.
It's this

WiFi doesn't work at all without it.
I just ran a speed test at 50 feet plus a wall. I got 18Mbps on a 20Mbps internet service. It bests just about all my devices for range as well.
Stock, rooted.

Hi all, for those of you interested, I shot a video comparison between the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) dealing with LTE speed.
I used speedtest.net using both devices with the same carrier's sim (H3G).
Well, I guess both of them are quite fast!

Could please do 3G speed test?

Here I am, it took me three days before being able to tell you a more accurate result.
Well, I've just repeated for the third time in 3 days the Speedtestnet using HSPA+ connection.
The results, apart for the numbers (which may vary from time to time, place, etc) should tell you how this two devices behave on HSPA+.
Once more, the tests were performed using the same carrier, at the same time.
S4: max 19mbps Download speed -- max 3mbps Upload speed
One: max 20mbps Download speed -- max 4mbps upload speed
Well, leaving aside the maximum achieved value for each device, I can tell you that in any round the HTC One scored a litlle bit more than the S4 both in download speed and in upload speed.
Thanks a lot for your tests. I'm not surprised that One is faster on HSDPA than SGS4 because the singnal strength is the best I've seen on the phone.

All in all. Both are potent devices. But i prefer htc over samsungs plastic fantastic any day of the week. imo its a matter of taste. Just like with if u prefer mac or pc. Sorta.

I have my Nexus 10 installed with Android v4.3 and i'm extremely disappointed with performance of it especially inside the pocket app. When I scroll over long articles, the performance stutters when it tries to repaint the screen. Even my galaxy tab 2 which has a significantly under-performing hardware has zero stutters. It's frustrating to see such a powerful tablet under-performing. Any ideas?
Another major issue is with wifi. My samsung Tab 2 receives full signal even at about 30 feet distance. But my nexus 10 gets only 3 points even at 10 feet distance. This is having an impact on my wireless performance and it considerably slows down my downloads pathetically. Pls help me fix these two issues.

Well to sort out any issues you could flash stock via fastboot.

I use an Iphone 5S for work, and have a Samsung S4 for personal use, I overwhelmingly prefer the S4, but . . .
I did an experiment today, phones sitting side by side, both on LTE...
Iphone 5S - 24.66d/14.44u, ping 18ms
Galaxy S4 - 6.4d/1.12u, ping 119ms
What is going on here? Is our modem that bad? Anyone have any tips to improve speed?
There is no real way to improve speeds. There are some "tweaks" that exisit somewhere for 3G idk about 4G. It could just be that at that certain point when you ran the speed test the IPhone had better signal than the GS4.

They were sitting on my desk and I ran them both at the same time and to the same server. Both were showing two bars at the time.

Did you look in the speed test app that you were using on each phone to make sure that they had connected to the same server?
You can't base anything off of a single side by side speed test. You should do the test several (at least 10) times in different locations and at different times of day. Record the results and take an average.
At the very least twice when you are doing so to check for discrepancies.
Anyway, I have never had an issue with the LTE speed on GS4. Just ran a quick test and got 21 down, and 6 up. The LTE reception is kind of bad around here too.

Dear Note 4 owners,
Is there anyone out there who can compare and tell more about the quality of reception on 4G/LTE bands. I owned a Note 2 long time ago, which had great quality (on 2G/3G of course) I now own a Galaxy S5 and in my area the reception is really bad. A friend of mine has a (ugh) IPhone has a great 4G/LTE signal at my place, while my S5 sucks (even exchanged my S5 with no improved results) . We are both at the same provider (vodafone). So I'm thinking in upgrading my S5 to the Note 4 if it has a quality antenna hardware. I remember there where some bad signal issues with the Note 3 in the past. Is this fixed.
Kind regards
marl
My Note 4 has exactly the same reception quality like the Note 3.
Doesn't matter which Band.
2G, 3G and 4G all is identical.
I use Vodafone Germany

Thx for the info @buell47 , and with the same you mean that all is good? full bars?
Kind regards
Using OpenSignal I can also concur that the Note 4 is identical in signal strength to the Note 3. That does not mean full bars, it means it is just as good. So if there is an area where you only got 2 bars on Note 3 you will also only get 2 bars on the Note 4.
I can tell you only, that Note 2, 3 and 4 is the same in all different bands.
I don't have any comparison to other Models.
I read sometimes that Note devices are not so good like some Sony or HTC or IPhones.
I don't know, maybe it's true, but I want a Note, not any Phone with best reception.
That's my choice ?

Thx m8, wish I could get some comparison against an S5 . I hope that because of the bigger footprint the antenna in Note 3 / 4 is more sensitive , but it's guessing for me. I only know the S5 sucks in reception. Even downtown Amsterdam (vondelpark) I never seen more then 2 bars.

LTE coverage is very bad in Amsterdam, no matter what phone you are using. Supposedly it will get better in 2015 (at least thats what vodafone nl are claiming).
Okay thx for the info @ozaghloul do you happen to know if KPN is much better. Still on contract @vodaphone but at least i'll know not to extend it when due
I really don't know. I think KPN has wider LTE coverage in more cities, but I think its just as bad as vodafone in Amsterdam.
