Hi to the Nexus S users. I got a brand new Nexus S 4g this past Saturday coming from a DINC. I'm running CM7 stable. Is anyone having signal issues/slow 3g speeds by the way?

Can't say for sure since I have a Tmo NS but having had Sprint I can tell you my wife and I had those issues with all Sprint phones. Their 3g speeds SUCK.

Make sure you have ke5 or ke1 radio

How do I switch radios and which should I use? I want faster 3g speeds lol actually what I want is a lower, stable ping lol

Sprint is upgrading yhe network so it might go up and down for awhile
If you have rom manager look under peters section he has the radio updates in his downloads

Having the correct radio will give you better reception, which will give you a more reliable connection. As a result you may see increased speeds. Keyword is may. You can decrease your ping by setting a local server ip your phone first connects to. Search for lowering pings. For radios, flash using fastboot. Please be sure to read up on radio flashing as a mistake could be catastrophic. Good luck

I am also new to the NS4G, having switched from evo 4g. Sprint 3G has always sucked the big one and I don't notice any appreciable difference between nexus and evo speeds.
The phone reception IS quite a bit weaker than the Evo however.

Thanks for the responses guys, how would I go about seeing which radio I have?

well guys I have good news and bad news for some of you guys.

we have 4 g work in on the at&t note using t- mobile network. this is very bad news for the international model, it does not look like it will ever happen for you guys. so if you have the international model using t-mobile and you want 3G you will need to sell it and get the at&t version for that to happen.

Haahha dont worry we all using Hotspots

I really don't care about 4G unless on an unlimited plan.
What's so good about having that blazing speed when you are capped at 4 or 5gb a month.
That would take a day for me.

it sounds like you are mad.

because you're paying t-mobile for data and you can't use it. we all know EDGE SUCK ASS.
don't be mad because you went out got the internationl version, you know that AT&T was getting the phone you should have waited for the AT&T model. it's not too late for you to sell it and get off that turtle that you're on all day hahahaha.

Question. Can i unlock the att version and use it overseas?

By the time 4g is in enough places for me to even care about it, my Note will be either dead & gone, or being used by my (now) 11 year-old daughter
I am more than happy with H+, and I only get that in a few places anyway.

Question about the hotspot feature for T-Mobile?
Did you get rid of regular internet and just add hot spot??
What's the price difference between the two??

How to change data icon from H+ to 4G on CM10.1 Nightly's

Hey guys, I was just wondering if someone could help me out because I'm kinda ocd about seeing it as H+ instead of 4G for HSPA+. Thanks!

HSPA+ isn't 4G.

Coming from sprint it sure as hell is. 1mb is 4g to them. Anyway I get to 35mbps on hspa+ so I really don't get what your saying.

I agree but the 3G/4G terminology is a bit screwed. The current "3G" release is 100x faster then the original 3G release. Yet the current 4G release is only 2.5x faster then the current 3G release.
Which is why Android refers to it as H. It should probably stay that way.
But I get 22Mbps on my N4 on DC-HSPA, which isn't as high as you, but I know how you feel. But I live on a continent that's completely GSM/HSPA/LTE, so I never really had the CDMA 3G problem.

Is there anyway to enable 3G/wcdma only after rebooting??

Ignore the first one as that is wifi..
Battery life, seems good to me so far, varies on each build of the custom ROM, as in gets better each time. I get a full day easily.

The second one is WiFi quick.
Once coverage spreads and the price drops by at least 50% I'll have some 4G but until then? Thanks to all the early adopters :good:

yeah it is stupid have 4g now on EE..

Bro, could you please let this be a global 4G LTE thread? It would be nice to see how everyone speed differ around the world right? Many people have global devices that can work on many different countries LTE network.
Anyways, if you choose to do so please change the thread title
Oh, global 3G speed tests wouldn't be bad either.
Thanks in advance

3g on a LTE 4g Galaxy S4?

Hi all. In a few weeks I will be buying a sim free Galaxy S4. I am thinking about getting the LTE model, AKA the I9505. My question is, will 3g work on this model because I plan on using 3g until the price of 4g comes down.

Yes this will work, every mobile phone supports this.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Yes you will have no problems.
Odd that you get charged more for a 4g services than a 3g service. doesnt work that way here in OZ really just gotta be lucky to get 4g connections lol

Yes it will work! I have the 4G LTE version, too. And I use a 3G flatrate, because here in Germany 4G is very expensive... :crying:

3g will work

Thanks for the replies guys. Its a relief to know it will work on 3g.

DCHSPA+ can get as fast as 24mbps
