sprint finally gave me the boot

after 8 years of crappy service I had to move on to at&t got the galaxy skyrocket now and I must say this bad boy is blazing fast right out the box so farewell og evo users

I am debating as well whether to get away from Sprint. The unlimited data is a strong point with me, but I can't get 4G at home or at work. Plus, there are some phones that others have that I would love.

enjoy your 5 mins of blazing fast connection before you go over your monthly limit.

wont happen sprint will continue unlimited...there will be Sprint LTE over 800mhz,1900,2500
2500 will be TDLTE 100mbs
sprint has more spectrum then both Verizon and ATT combined..wait and see what will happen after they complete network vision and retire old nextel towers.

By that time att and Verizon will have 5g

5g doesn't exist and wont for atleast another 5 to 10 year 5g is slated to be fiberoptics to the tower and there is no technology capable it broadcasting it wirelessly over 600 feet at this point
We are legion, for we are many

where i live sprint has the best coverage. my friends with att and verizon all lack coverage where i don't. the north shore of long island from the middle and west towards nyc has no service though, any carrier. that's just ridiculous. its a rich area and they don't want cancer i guess.....or cellphone coverage. on the plus side though, sprint's cheaper than anyone else. as long as they're cheaper, i'll stay. i'm willing to pay less for ****tier service, but as soon as i'm paying as much as somebody with a good data connection, i'm gonna peace out. wimax was a joke though... i can't believe that.

Unreal Three UK 3G speeds!! WTF!

I received my note 2 LTE N7105 from t-mobile this morning. After leaving to charge and investigating how to unlock the phone (thanks t-mobile for locking it!!) I manged to unlock it with a great app on play store (UnlockUnit) and the N7105 inst even supported yet lol
T-mobiles 3g speeds are terrible where I am in London, average 2-3megs, I didn't care anyway cause the plan was to give their sim to my lil boy, while I pop my 3uk sim in there, happy whit their speeds for a long time, but now check this out!!! I cant reproduce theses speeds with the mrs S3, its still around 9megs on her s3 but when I pop sim into the note 2 its just wow!!

This was the highest speed, average for about 10 tests were around 15-16megs! 3 seems to have upgraded their network! Anyone else with 3uk experiencing this? My network type is reporting HSPAP:15, who needs to sigh up to 4G when you got this crazinessnessness!

That's pretty nuts! How does it feel streaming content off something like youtube with those speeds?

Effortless! No buffering at all. Netflix is like a dream. I don't want to touch the handset in case speed diminishes!
I'm searching google for info on this but am finding nothing. The 3g only note 2 N7100 that i sent back wasn't giving me these speeds

Its slowed down very recently, maybe due to terrible ping? Then sped up again in the 2nd pic, orgasmic!
Cant believe I'm calling 14meg 3g connection slow. I'll accept that. Please, my fellow 3uk users, please share your speeds

I'm getting about 3mb/s H+ here but then again I've never gotten good signal at home.
However my mate on 3 UK has similar 3G speeds on his iPhone 5. I guess mine should be about the same but last time I tried it next to him he wasn't getting great speeds either, seems a bit hit and miss depending on where you are.
Best I've had at home was about 5mb/s

Changing from giffgaff to 3uk soon as there droping there unlimited.
Lets see what ill get on the normal n7100

I'm on N7100 and use 3's One Plan.
I get 12mbps consistently on HSPA+ in central london.
OP - Are you also on HSPA+? I noticed yours says 3G+, Is that just HSPA+? Cos 3 don't roll out LTE until next year.
I guess the modem on the N7105 gives HSPA+ an extra kick.

My baseband says LJ1, which I'm pretty sure is the modem.
I'm located at Westminster. So what speeds do you get then? If it's not hugely off, I would just blame the traffic nearby.

Just got 79ms ping, 1.91mbps dl and 1.07mbps ul.
Located in Redbridge, and for some reason the speed test app has decided to use a server in sittingbourne rather than the london one.

I'm not sure what I'm on but my network type reports HSPAP 15. Switching to UTMS sometimes. Is this the info you wanted?
I'm in south west London, I did get a text from 3 notifying me of works being carried out in my area about a month ago tho. Wonder what they did or is this, like someone said, thanks to the lte radio even though 3 haven't released lte yet?

Im on 3 and very happy with speed I get in cleethorpes

Yes, I was gonna say that... I am getting my S3 LTE today and I am on three..
I have been benchmarking Three's speeds at various locations using my S3 and N2... I will report my findings here...

On 3 one plan.. Who needs LTE with speeds like this haha

They are good I'm getting around 13mb outside my house but even inside where the signal is crap I'm getting just under 6 and guess what the signal hasnt been upgraded yet 3 say it will double in speed ... bring it on

Oh 3 aint going on lte but upgrading the h+ signal
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Superb to see others with these crazy speeds. These 18mb speeds I'm getting are from inside my house. I wonder how fast it'll be outside. I'll report
I was seeing a trend of only the n7105 getting the 4g like speeds but its good to see n7100 reaching the speeds too. Wasted my time returning my n7100 for a n7105

I can confirm DC-HSPA+ in action on Three UK
I am getting in the excess of 10mbps+ in the same location in my house whereas before I used to get less than half the speed...

[Q] nexus 4 4g?

me and my coworker both have tmobile. however i have noticed that his blackberry gets 4g at my work while i get no signal or low signal at my work. my question is
is lte and 4g the same thing?
if not can i add 4g to the 30 bucks a month plan from tmobile on the nexus 4?

T-Mobile doesn't offer LTE. T-Mobile calls its HSPA+ "4G"
The N4 doesn't display the 4G icon like T-Mobile branded phones do. But its getting the same service.

In case you were wondering what speeds you get on T-Mobile. This is from my Nexus 4 in Arlington, Texas. It is in the DFW area.
Edit: Holy Jebus, it takes big screenshots! Should've resized.

It could be a couple reasons.
1) The phones could be representing signal strength differently. Have you checked the actual dBm between the two and not just bars of service.
2) The blackberry antenna just might be stronger/better.

Yep. I was testing a LG G2 on a local Clearwire TD-LTE tower a few days ago.
Got these..
I need to figure out how to get MSL from this thing and other dialer codes to force LTE only. I know of all local Clearwire + Sprint towers so it shouldn't be much of a chore.

Location Sacramento <---
I know the locations of all the clearwire + sprint sites across the nation and know where to test. Nexus 5 is a no go while the G2 connects but will kick you off within 30 seconds. I'll need to try the GS4 as well to see if it sticks but LA should be fine since they're much much further ahead in the Spark + NV deployment than us up here.
Already looking at dialer codes but not seeing a way to force the GS4T into LTE only mode...

Didn't even need to go anywhere. Forced LTE only mode and it picked up the TD-LTE tower down my street over the PCS B25 Sprint tower. Backhaul apparently hasn't been fully upgraded at this tower yet.
Meanwhile on my local PCS LTE Sprint tower on my nexus 5..

POST your Speed tests here!!!

So I just got a brand new Moto G 2nd Gen here in US, Florida, and HSPA sucks ... With my Nexus 5 under T-Mobile 4F LTE, I get easily 25 Mbps download, and anywhere from 6 to 10 Mbps on HSPA+ I think...
But with my Moto G 2nd Gen I only get 560 Kbps down on a good day, and not often, using the same SIM card and T-mobile service, and then out of nowhere it only gets 7 Kbps down most of the time.
Should I return it?
Problem solved... Got the right APN setting's list for my carrier. =]

You're right!!!
Since I just put a t-mobile SIM on it, it just loaded a default APN setting that wasn't the best for it...
So then I bought a Metro PCS SIM card... they only sell NANO sim cards on walmart, but they come with an adapter, and even though the manual says "no adapters", I was able to activate it just fine by dialing *228, and activating it myself with the operator.
THEN!!!
I realize I have no internet, and just then remember APN setting... I use an old APN setting list for MetroPCS for the original Moto G, and it wasn't so good... but then I find a more updated list, and that one gives me a stable 5 to 7 Mbps down .
So problem solved... now to address that annoying battery drain This phone's battery sucks really bad.

Hmm that's strange you'd have a battery drain issue. Make sure no kernel wakelocks or anything obviously. Mine lasts all day on a charge with a good 3 to 4 hours SOT.
Its not the best on battery, but not the worst.
