Poll: Slow wifi and data - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

I'm having very slow wifi and data on my ATT S6 Edge. Its only about 13 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up. My wifi does 50 Mbps down but should be about double that.
My previous phone, the LG G2 D800 was getting about 70 Mbps down on data in the same area. Just wondering of any of you are having the same problems. If its just me, it might be a hardware issue - have to return it
Thanks

You should also add one or two more options like "no issue" and possibly "best wifi performance yet".
FYI, I have no issues.

Make sure no other apps are running in the background. Also side no for bloat ware. do you have anything disable that could be the culprit? Also it can be based on the network itself I recommend trying to run the test at night so no body in your block using up the line. As for mobile data have you,checked if you'really provision properly sometimes att causes issues like that so it is best to check if they got you provisioned on the correct device.

Slow 4g speed

I've tried the Charge and Thunderbolt along with the Revo, and for some reason the 4g on the Revo is less that half the speed of the other devices using the Speedtest app. Someone on another forum commented about this as well. Do you folks think this is a radio issue that can be fixed? Otherwise, I'll be taking the Revo back.
Thanks!
What is your dl speed because in all honesty any dl above 3 MB/sec is overkill. Here in SE TX mine avgs. 8 down/5 up. Try another server it does vary greatly. Remember it is a burst speed and is dependant on how many users are on a tower plus other factors beyond your control. A true OC-3 speed of 20 down /20 up runs about $20,000 a month for a business.
I'm always between 8 - 11 down and 4 - 6 up out here in Charleston, SC

Average 4G speed around my home is 8-12 dwn, 5-9 up.

Verizon probably has run their own fiber to their towers... and they are probably running OC-12 or 24 lines.
Hehehe... had to block the isp, as we are our own... That is shared with 1500 other users...

4G LTE in Milwaukee is VERY fast.
Near the airport, strong constant 20-30mbps and 4-9mbps up.
I have yet to venture to Madison yet or Wisconsin Dells, as those are the other two major city's in WI to have LTE setup.
on a side note, I will say with my first LG which was borked and stuck with the stock shipping software my downloads were some what slower then my new one with the current stock software. 15mbps max on the old software and 30mbps with the new software.

[Q] msm_hsic_host wakelocks with 5.1?

Hey guys,
Haven't seen this wakelock issue pop up on the Nexus 6 yet, I know it was something that was an issue for the Nexus 4 and older version of the OS a while back
Anyways I've just updated to 5.1 and it's working surprisingly well, aside from having to downgrade the radio to receive calls.
The problem I'm noticing all of a sudden is the msm_hsic_host and PowerManagerService.Display, the former being the worse of the two.
In the screenshot you'll see that my phone is awake 61% of the time over 22 hours of testing, almost 6 of those hours being msm_hsic_host, and 4 being the PowerManagerService.
I looked a bit in to the msm one and it seems to come up when the phone is bouncing between 3G/LTE signals and people suggest putting the phone on wifi, but my phone has full-barred LTE almost always and when I'm home I'm on wifi, so this wasn't able to fix my issue.
Is there a way to see more detail what is causing this process to keep the phone awake? Or has anyone seen this and found a solution?

Host is usually related to poor signal. Display is just that, your screen is on.

Yeah for the host I had read it's related to a poor signal, but I don't have a poor signal at all. When I'm at work it's full LTE as you can see in the screenshot above.
At home I'm on Wifi, and even if I'm not on Wifi it's also a full signal.

Did you also get this figured out? Because I am having this wakelock as well on Franco Kernel on my Nexus 6.

Holy download speeds Batman!

Where? And wow I guess I do need an upgrade. Regular 4g is slow compared to that!

Use DL Booster and you can see speeds like 75+ Mbps! Depends on Wifi+LTE speed though.
are you in a wideband area or is this only with the download booster (wifi+lte)
I was actually able to hit 100mbps on the T mobile network no download booster on speedtest. Ya i know doesnt mean much without a picture but I'm at work. Either way I was amazed

Jeeze, the most I have ever gotten on Tmo in my entire life is like 30mbs down, lol.. is that a constant speed?
100mbps? I'd have to see it to believe it. I have gotten over 50 before, but nothing close to a 100. I have gotten over 75 with Verizon. Honestly, it's fast but not like a huge difference from 30 imho.

Here you go I was blown away. My T-Mobile service has been better where I live than my Verizon service stronger signal and faster data.
I couldn't figure out how to upload a picture so here's a link from my result that I shared to Ookla. In that area it was pretty constant between 80-100mbps. At home I only get 10, but that's about as low as it gets in my area.

This was LTE only no WiFi Booster.

H --> R --> H?

Hello, new to the Nexus 6. I'm having a little issue. I keep getting an exclamation and an R, then back to H on my Nexus 6. I noticed that I wouldn't get connectivity if I didn't have Roaming enabled. I got it from Amazon Prime, which says it's a local edition of the Nexus 6 (not imported). And right now, for example, I'm on wifi. I see the Wifi symbol and then an R appears. It says I'm on roaming and then no? Hmm...
I've recorded this video of it, would you mind checking it out and letting me know?

Thanks.
Suggests that your service provider may have a weak signal in your area, or possibly they are experiencing technical difficulties (tower going on and off... I've seen this kind of thing happen lots of times). The fact that it switches to 3G/H *ever* means that it actually is compatible with your carrier.

I know it's not the issue. I have a note 4, same service provider. Also my partner has a z ultra and same service provider. No issues either.
I went into the sim toolkit and changed the roaming settings. Now let's see if it fixes the issue because it's driving me nuts. Lol.

I'm using a rom that is close to stock, I've had similar issue before. Try playing with the mobile data settings to see if this solves it. My carrier is Verizon.

Cannot Connect to LTE. Throttling?

Hi,
Since last Friday I haven't been connecting to LTE. I'm running multirom with the latest BBOYZ Sense ROM and then on secondary a minimal GPE ROM without root that I just use when I want Android Pay. Neither has connected to LTE since Friday. I'll see LTE show up for a second but it won't spin like it's doing anything and eventually will switch back to 3G. I have unlimited data and have never had a problem in the past. This monthly cycle I've used 0.6553GB of 3G data, 1.5186MB Data Roaming, and 13.4001GB LTE. My wife's iPhone 5s still connects to LTE just fine. We have a tower near our home and get a great signal. My wife has used about .25GB. Billing cycle says tomorrow so that might mean it resets tomorrow or tomorrow is the last day, not sure. Anyone have any thoughts? Am I being throttled? Or maybe I just need to give it a full wipe and flash a RUU?
Thanks!
I decided to try a full RUU. Still only getting 3G. I did some reading and saw Sprint (about 2 weeks ago) said they're going to limit high volume users when they get over 23GB but that they'd be notified. I haven't been notified or used that much data. I guess I'll see what tomorrow brings. If I get into Wednesday with no LTE I'll head over to my Sprint store..

Have you tried either ##72786# or ##3282# while using a Sense ROM?

I went into both those menus but wasn't sure what to do. Was about to ask but I disconnected from wifi and now have LTE. Don't see how that helped but maybe it did! Thanks regardless!
