Download speeds - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i live in ny and im getting around 10mb/s download speeds or less. Btw i have the tmobile version and i was wondering if theres a way to improve the speeds somehow.

The best I get is just under 15, Williamsburg. I don't think you can do much better without lte in NYC on T-Mobile from what I've seen.

Are you talking about 3G or wifi?
In 3G (in Italy) i have 15-17mb in download with the international version.
With wifi i have 20 mb in donwload.

Simple question

I'm in Dallas and I get HSPA but for some reason I'm only getting 570k max download speed. Is there a way to get faster speeds like diff radio?

Realistically that's probably on-par for what TMO can provide in your area. They are working on adding more backhaul to towers to support the higher speeds.
Ah i see. So even though they have listed Dallas as one of the few H cities its still not optimal speeds as far as what they have said it should be ?

anyone have speed test pics??
It would really help me out.. I don't know if I should spend 700 on the pink note. If I'm gonna have super crappy internet
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well the speed for web browsing is really fast on HSDPA+ (The highest one that you can get here in europe)
Found a speedtest on a german android forum.

Edit:
Remember, that's not the highest value. HSDPA+ can reach up to 21,1 Mbit/s here.
This was with an international note?
But idk if it be the same for T-Mobile since were on 1700mhz
If 9mbps was reached there.. hopefully here as well

Found this site:
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-ga...at-t-galaxy-note-which-one-do-you-prefer/5698
It says:
Cons of the GT-N7000:
No support for LTE in the USA
No support for T-Mobile 3G data
No NFC radio

So there is no 3G data (and upper I assume) available with the International Note. Any reasons for not taking the AT&T Note SGH-I717 instead?
So what were those speeds lol.. I gotta see some speedtests of someone using it on tmobile
Idc I'd get the att one.. but too overpriced .. if ima pay a lot for the phone I'm going to buy what I really want. And that is the Pink Note

The only video I found is that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YXXpmMrxq4
But it actually shows the speed depending on his new radio.
All others were using AT&T on the Galaxy Note... Could even find a picture.
Also just read that you are able to use >3g, sorry for misleading informations.
lol so complicated as we don't have 4g here.
The video is an art note lol
I need international.. hahah. The pink note is international
Thanks though!
And what wait I'm confused 3g on what? International or att?
I know art can be flashed to work with tmobile

Oh really? Damn, thought it was the right one Well next time i only have to take a closer look.
Yes, you're right it can be flashed to work with tmobile.
Well the site that I've posted before says that international note doesn't support lte or tmobile 3g data. Only the AT&T (as said you have to enable tmobile data manually)
Yeah.. but no pink note lol
My search will continue lol

no speedtest but the web browsing speed seems pretty good

So buy a pink case or those sticker covers and you can make it pink. I'd rather have a fully functional device than a colored device. That is only if you need the speed. if not pink it up! Where I live I only get 3G. Not hspa+, when I go downtown I get hspa+ so it's not worth it for me nor a deal breaker.

I use an n7000 on tmo stateside. Its only 2g so speeds are horrible... roughly 100 to 150kbps both up and down. This doesnt really matter to me however, as im in wifi 99% of the time. The 2g works fine for gps, email and mobile versions of websites. But forget about youtube, or full version website surfing. One thing i havent checked is pandora streaming... might work ok.

I have the international note, and for the most part I get around 256k speeds at best. Depending on where you are located though they have repurposed their 1700 band into their latest hspa+, so if you happen to end up in one of those area data will be really fast. (sorry never ran a speed test with one of those connections) The problem is that is was mainly an experiment and they most likely won't continue not that they are moving to LTE, and the areas with this working are fairly rare.

Well tmo is currently experimenting with the new base and 1900 for 4g.. said to start releasing it this summer slowly.
If they do, these phones will get waaay better speed.
Thank you everybody.. and yeah I'm on wifi about 50% of the time.. and mostly on fb or sometimes YouTube when I'm not.
And no I don't want a vinyl. Or a case. Not the same thing. Plus I heard att one doesn't even get that great of speeds

You'll get Edge on tmobile. Which is supposedly 635 kbps download
85 kbps upload.
You'll probably see around 100kbps up/down.

Post your Nexus 4 Speed Tests here!

This can be a great reference for people who are undecided on Straight Talk t-mobile network vs Native T-mobile network. We can also compare $30 unlimited plan to contract plan speeds.
Please Post:
Carrier: xxxxxxx (EX: T-mobile network via T-mobile, OR, T-mobile network via Straight Talk)
Plan: xxxxx (EX: $30 unlimited, OR, $45 unlimited)
Location: xxxxx (EX: Brooklyn, NY... OR Dallas, Texas)
Then please post a picture of your speeds (or you can type it out).
Thanks!!
I posted this on thread already.
I have straightalk i had att sim ordered tmobile sim and cut it down using the att sim.
ATT sim straight talk average download speed by speakeasy app 5-7 down .5-1.5 up
Tmobile sim average speed 12-15 mb down 1.5-3 up tested this today fort wayne IN medium size city I do get 4 bars for both networks at my house. and wifi speed 20-25 down 5up comast 2.5 ghz i dont use 5gz band really.
I love this phone, and T-Mobile

Me too, it's the best phone I've ever played with or owned, and I've been very promiscuous.
On 3 mobile, £15 per month pay as you go (off contract), all you can eat unlimited data bundle, I got this whilst walking about in the town. Why bother paying the 4g data premium?
Definitely the best speeds I've had in my area on tmobile
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Not only good speed but also good latency considering I rely on Google Voice + Groove IP for VOIP. Tmobile looking good.
And on WiFi.... 2.5 band...

Yep. Speed Test on my N4 isn't scaled properly, and for some god forsaken reason my speeds have gone from ~4Mb on my Galaxy Nexus to absolute crap on my N4.

Get on giffgaff, it uses o2 and much cheaper. (with unlimited data)

So, are these speeds using DC-HSDPA?
I was under the impression that DC-HSDPA was 10-12mb
Sent from my HTC ONE X using Tapatalk 2
I'm in Tampa and on T-Mobile's unlimited value plan for $69. I'm pulling down 12-18 Mbps on average. Upload is 1.5-2.5 Mbps.
Thanks for the results. Now I'm even more anxious to get my Nexus 4. Those scores absolutely obliterate my scores on Sprint.
If anybody in the San Fernando Valley can report in on T-Mobile results, that would be great.

Post your Nexus 7 HSPA+ data speeds

Did not see a thread like this if there is already one forgive this new guy. Anyways, this is T-Mobile prepaid mobile broadband plan. I'm pretty happy with these speeds.
Nice! :beer:

I use an HSPA+ mifi but never see speeds likes yours, OP! I'm lucky to see 2mb down!
Did some driving around today, seems the speeds I posted are pretty limited to a small area here unfortunately. Most of the other places I tried were around 1 - 3 Mbps which is still better then what I get with Sprint (no 4g coverage here but I have to pay for it) just waiting until my contract is up to make the switch.
Figured id post a WiFi speed, its a lot higher then what I pay for but what the hell

Just to add: Bell and Telus have a shared HSPA+ network that operates on both 850 and 1900. So unlike T-Mobile's, it has better in-building coverage and penetration. Same frequencies as AT&T but overall faster and less burdened. Lower burden due in part to the fact that there are very few customers with grandfathered unlimited plans of any kind - Canada saw its first iPhones launch with small data caps, while AT&T started with unlimited and only years later started to shrink the data allowance.
bump.. Anyone else? There's gotta be a lot more of us Nexus 7 3G owners out there by now.
att gave me horrible speeds, but tmobile gave me much better service. much happier now.
The employee at Tmo must have been unaware they had that plan, or else I might be using it. I should'a known tho because I thought I saw they had a tablet for sale! Anyway, I'm basically happy with 3gb for $30 with AT&T, but it's nice to have options.
does this device not have "H+" icon in the status and only shows "H"? I'm using the tablet plan on Telus in Canada and it only shows "H".
I have LTE signal when I plug in the sim card into my Nexus 5.
Any suggestions?
Amazing hspa+ speed on my nexus 4 .. Get same speed when I use it as hotspot on my nexus 7

Slow LTE

I live outside of a city with LTE so my phone sometimes fluctuates between that and HSPA+. So, I downloaded the new FCC Speedtest app and decided to try it out today. On HSPA+, my downloads were about 10-11 Mbps, but when it switched to LTE, I could only pull about half that. Is there any way to manually toggle between the two connection types or any suggestions to speed up my LTE speeds? In town, my speeds on LTE are great, not so much where I live.
