T-Mobile Reception not answered! - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I posted in the thread about the tmobile note 4 getting bad reception, but no one has responded.
I pre ordered my note 4 and when I received it, the speeds were horrible. I took it to a corporate office and they ordered a new one to replace the old one. I have the new one, but the speeds aren't any better. What would you guys suggest doing?

Where are you located? Apparently there is a significant network problem in some areas of Florida for most of the last week or more.

This is in another thread. So urs never got spoken to cause of all the duplicate threads
BAD ASS NOTE 4

did you use the new sim card included with the phone? try a reset and see if it helps. are you by chance over your allowed data? that speed seems like a throttled limit rather than poor reception, i see that you almost have full bar of lte. ask a friend to test out their speed on t-mobile lte as well.

Do you have another tmobile phone sitting next to note that is showing normal speeds, as people mentioned it could be network related.

Q: T-Mobile speedtest

Hello,
I am going to buy an international note.. what are its speeds for web browsing..
Speed test pics would be appreciated and videos
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
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.
http://fs01.androidpit.info/userfiles/411957/image/galaxy note 749.png
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

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

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?

Yeah.. but no pink note 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.

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.

You'll get Edge on tmobile. Which is supposedly 635 kbps download

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

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...

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.

Poor signal reception on AT&T with AT&T Note 3

Switched to Note 3 from Lumia 920 (phone upgrade, had my SIM replaced as well). Now on all places where I previously had stable LTE signal my Note has couple bars of HSPA or from time to time HSPA+. I still can catch LTE signal from time to time but not in the area I live (and had stable LTE for a year on Lumia).
What may be the reason? Is it a phone problem or just Nokia modem has better sensitivity?
Don't want to initiate replacement procedure, the phone seems perfect in all other aspects...
I've also been disappointed with the reception vs the S4. I'm also having trouble installing apps from the play store >.< even on wifi.
I have bad reception also
I am thinking of returning, I have had to switch to airplane mode twice in the past hour to get it to reconnect to LTE. It sometimes drops out all together when accessing the play store. I am in Baton Rouge, and didn't have any issues on my iphone 5.

That's crazy, I'm in Baton Rouge too.Just got my Note 3 from the Best Buy Mobile on Bluebonnet. Maybe its borked because of the impending hurricane doom.
Yes, switching airplane mode on and off helps to establish LTE link everywhere... But it switches back to HSPA in 20-30 min and never return back by itself. Definitely software bug
I'm getting much better signal than I ever got with my 920 or S3. I'm in Houston FWIW.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
I'm from just south of Baton Rouge, reception has either been great or next to none for me. I can manually put the note 3 on lte but the speed at that point is slower than the 4g. Sadly my s4 active was nearly the same way...

I'm east of Baton Rouge, in Hammond, and I've seen the same thing! lose LTE and sticks to HSPDA! Airplane mod does fix it as well. I hope it's the storm, but I don't thinks so!
For you guys with a Google play issue...
If you connect to a VPN like privateinternetaccess.com (also avaliable on the play store) and select a country other than the US it will more than likely work.

I live in SF Bay area and this definitely not storm, it's some software/modem firmware fault. It seems not trying to switch to LTE once kicked to HSPA. If I do airplane mode switch on a place I have good LTE signal it would jump to LTE and keep connected for a long time until I move and it loses it. After that it jumps down to HSPA and not trying to return back on LTE even if I go back to same place where it had full bars of LTE before
Well good to know it isn't just Southeast Louisiana. Also, just plain nuts to me that we're all posting in the same thread miles apart, go figure.
I haven't had time to switch my Sim back to my S4 to do some testing. But I feel like my speeds are definitely suffering.
Post your speed tests for comparison. BTW one of my favorite features about the s pen are the easy screen captures and edits.
Maybe it's just an APN issue? Has anyone tried playing with that? I tried a few from rootzwiki but don't really know what I'm doing in the APN neighborhood.

For what it's worth, FL is having issues as well. Play store has been wonky and the reception has been less than stellar. With all these reports I'm willing to bet it's something on their end.
I am going to try and swap it out at the local store tomorrow even though I ordered it online. I should be able to according to the terms. I am willing to give it another shot, although at work today I had absolutely zero signal just a circle with a line through it. I normally get at least phone and text functionality at work.
All your phones are perfectly fine - they just need a firmware update or two.
I've seen mine even drop off to edge just sitting here at my desk.

[Q] Slow internet on note 4

I received my note 4 in the mail today via ups and I have tried almost everything to get the internet to work as fast as it should. I have called tmobile and told them the issue and 3 out of the 5 people that I talked to asked me how did I get the note 4 and it isn't supposed to be released until the 17th. I have downloaded the speedtest.net application and I got ping 26 ms download 0.74 upload 0.05. I need some help on what my next move should be. I have not rooted the device.
Got my Note 4 today as well and I'm experiencing slow download speeds also.

I'm using the Sim card I used in my Nexus 5 (previous device), I'm sitting in my bathroom and getting 15mb/s speed on 4G LTE, getting about 30-45mb/s in my living room.
It could very well be a faulty antannae in the device, especially with how the packaging was when I received the device. Nothing against T Mobile, but a packing ENVELOPE? Really? Seems kinda faulty for a $900 device.
It works on 4G but not real good and 4G lte looks like this now

[Q] Radio/4GLTE problems T-Mobile

So lately, for awhile now I've been having major issues with my 4G LTE. My speeds on LTE when I check on speedtest would go as far as 1.00 MBps (Not kidding) and im forced to disable 4LTE and leave it to 3G or HSPA+. When I enable H I get speeds up to 10.00 mbps. Now I've done many things to try to fix it, researched and tried flashing the only radios I can find which are on here labeled "[Ref] [Radio] Nexus 6 modem collection" I currently have LMY47M Firmware and radio flashed and still H seems to work better. I'm on stock 5.1 update. I even tried speaking to T-Mobile to have my signal reset and they even got as far to transferring me to a specialist and even had the specialist send a note to the engineers to see if its the towers in my area or something. And that if it was the case that on Saturday I should see my LTE back up and working. Saturday passed and unfortunately still going through this. It's crazy because my brother ,mother and sister in-law have T-Mobile and their 4GLTE are working beautifully. So I was hoping if I can have any helping hands to help me fix this or find a solution, a radio or something for me. Please, I'm dying lol..
Any links, tutorials, personal apn settings, tricks or editing build.prop info will be SUPER MUCH appreciated.
Thanks again.

That is indeed a horrible speed test result. Wait a bit and see if the member I mentioned before has some help for you. I'm on Sprint, so my knowledge of T-Mobile is limited.

Curious, what were your brother, sister in-law, etc.. speed test scores? Home for me is in a fringe LTE area and depending on where I am in my house, hspa is almost always faster than LTE. Example: at home hspa+ is 12 down 2-3 up. LTE is 2-3 down 0.5-1 up. Drive half mile down street and LTE is 70 down 15 up....
One thing of note my wife has a new S6 and her radios stay on LTE 24/7 at our house where mine switches constantly from hspa to LTE. Her speed tests at home are 15-20 down 5 up.
Are you in a "fringe" LTE coverage area?

They would get around 27 to mid 30's down both my brother and sister in-law , my mom gets around 10-15 down. my mom has the note 3, my brother new S6 and sister in-law the iPhone 6.
And to be honest I'm not sure what you mean by "fringe"
Any and every where I go I'm forced to use HSPA lol LTE isn't working right for my phone.

Not sure to be quite honest. But I know just now I tried flashing Baseband_D4.0-9625-02.95.zip that I found on a random thread and still no good service for LTE.
The radio I had flashed or had on all this time now is labeled "LMY47M-Firmware-Radio.zip"
Where do I check the radio info ?

it would be in the about phone. but you have the 95r radio, same aa me. can you try reflashing the radio then checking lte?
I just came from verizon ..it seems I never worried before. If I had even a smidge of lte the speeds were still pretty solid..T-Mobile..lte is a crap shoot.

Just reflashed it and still same results. I get around 6.00-7.00 Mbps down on hspa+ and 0.28 down on LTE with enhanced LTE clicked on and off.

The thing is, I don't think its T-Mobile. Speeds were great for me before and its fantastic on my families phones. But its my phone right now that's not getting the speeds. But I've heard Verizon has quite great speeds as well.

dial *#*#4636#*#* then hit phone info, then change your radio to lte/gsm. does it make a difference?

At first it showed same bad speeds With 4G LTE enabled and enhanced 4GLTE enabled..then it went up high as showed after I waited a bit. About same speeds as HSPA+ is giving me now. Big difference for a moment but not so different from my HSPA+ speeds. But on the next screenshots you'll see it go back down again..

It did however , weirdly...boost up my HSPA+ down speeds to 9-10-11 Mbps in my current area where I was hitting 5-6-8 Mbps before. But up stays at 0 weirdly..
