Hi all,
I try to post a reply on thread "Benefits of International Samsung Galaxy S3 for US (AT&T) users" regarding my issue, but the thread is just too congested so couldn't really get anyone to help me.
I just got the international s3 so excited !!!
I am on at&t prepaid plan unlimited everything...here is the problem tho.
I've tried speed test in san mates, hayward, and san pablo area and I'm only getting 300 - 600 kbps download speed o_0 !!!!
when i am sitting in a car, NOT MOVING AT ALL, data would floats from 3g, hspa, hspa+, or just disconnect every min or so......very unstable.
can anyone pls help me ?? i love the phone and this is the only thing bothering me, all i want is average 1-5mbps download speed
HELP ME LOVE THIS PHONE EVEN MORE PLS !! lol
thanks in advance !!
Try resetting apn in settings mobile data.

thanks.
i just try to reset the APN by turning it off and back on.
didn't do anything tho..... anything else ??
Looks like connection and tower issue to me. Dies this happen everywhere or only in some particular spots?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I am going through this as well......and the only answer that even remotely helps is using different modems....i was at 200-300kbps ALL the time.
i started flashing modems and found that got up to around 3-4 mbps on a good run but thats still high for me. its the main reason i am thinking of getting the US varient.
i was expecting to see at least a CONSISTANT 4-6 Mbps and i am struggling to keep a strong 2-3 and it makes surfing and downloading apps and files a drag.
if anyone has any other thoughts i would love to try them out.

This happens every where i go so far.....
can someone around the bay area with average download speed of 1-5 mbps or more post a screen shot of their mobile network setting ? so we can compare ??
Also, another thing i was thinking is that would it be because i am on prepaid plan ? it shouldn't have anything to do with that right ? its all non smartphone data service for prepaid or postpaid account..... i think..... soooo confused

If its anything like Tmobile, the pay as you go plans lack roaming. So your signal will suffer. My buddy found this out after picking up a pay as you go plan. Call the network and ask if they have roaming on your plan. Then call a few more times to get a general consensus lol.

Hi guys I recently have my phone getting very slow speeds, It's a Galaxy S 4G and the top speed is 0.12 Mbps, it doesn't matter which server I use to test is always the same thing I am on simple mobile and my data plan is still functioning well, like yesterday speeds were normal, like 5.00mbps or 8mbps but after that. It just slowed down and it doesn't get back up!, What would it be?.My phone is brand new and has been working like a champ for weeks. when I use wifi is really fast but with the cellular data I have this issue.
Thanks

Maybe they throttled you because you went over your limit like the person above said.
You could always call your carrier and ask them.

38kb a sec data.. i've seen it as low as 2kb/s
Service was full bars. One dropped as i was taking the screenshot..
Should have just kept T-MO. But the allure of 3D got me..
My parents use sprint, i use Verizon..
and Ive also noticed their speeds to be pathetically slow.
nice job sprint! lol
Funny thing is, the only time I EVER have issues with my 3G speeds are
1) At home when I can always use Wi-Fi
2) At school when I don't need 3G for much anyway
If the service in your area isn't enough for you, then you should switch to another carrier. I wish I could switch to Verizon, but they're more expensive and don't have unlimited data.
Here are my speeds, testing around in various places (school, my house, my girlfriend's house, etc.)

But the coverage sucks!
4 people in my car...
2 with verizon phones, and 2 with sprint phones..
Drive 30 minutes away to some nice hiking trails...
Before we can even get there..
Both sprint phones have ZERO bars, and a phone call or text cannot be accomplished.
Yet, both verizon phones stay connected without an issue, and keep all bars. lol
Yeah,

I'm in the East bay Area and its just like that out here Bro. I stay mostly because of M2M minutes and the fact that I have 6 lines on my family plan. I just wish data was better. At my office I am all excited if I hit 300kb, usually in the 100 range. At home I hit like 600-700, but use wifi so it;s a moot point. In the middle of my kids soccer field....1.7mb...seriously...WTF? lol

So the RTSP and HTTP changing them to 0 and 0.0.0.0 gave you worse speeds?
Sprint blows, i have the same issues in michigan with full bars. They are over congested in my area and don't seem to be in any rush to expand thier 3g network(or introduce 4g). At my other house i get low to average speeds though, also with full bars. IMO, you should never see speeds lower than 800 kbps with 3g coverage. Unfortunately, at my house on the east side of Michigan, the data is frequently between 400-800 kbps, though that is still much higher than the speeds i get when im at my apartment on the west side of Michigan.
keep in mind that the competition is almost always pulling 1500-2500 kbps in areas like mine.

Swyped from mah 3vo!
sprint is the only company where I can get the best service at my place. It all depends on locations you can have them but like a router for 4g 3g service in your house.
LOL at least you get "decent" speeds. On my old TP2 I was getting 600 kb now with the 3D I can't get past 32 kb on 3g. If it wasn't for Wimax near me I would be with big red.....sero plan helps. Seems like I got a fancy paper weight when I'm not in a WiMAX area...... Unlimited data so slow you can't use it.
Hi,
This isn't phone related but Im hoping someone could still help me?
I signed up to my phone provider on the understanding that i would get 7.2mbps. I know this is always "up to" but i have only been able to get on average 0.3mbps. I realise there are factors like signal strength and network coverage etc but i have done some tests with 7 other people on the same provider and they get equally poor speeds. I have done many tests from different locations and they are all poor.
So can anyone tell me what the deal is with "up to 7.2mbps" ? Can they provide 20 times less speed 0.3 mbps and still claim "up to 7.2mbps"? Is this sufficient to get out of my contract?
I did some tests from another network provider at the same time and they were running at 4.5mbps.
0.3mbps is painfully slow and simply not worth having
Im in Britain, are there any regulations that govern this "up to" business? 2 months and always less than 0.5mbps, rubbish!!

Best speedtest yet with this build. ([ROM] I9100XILA2)
If other people around you are also having poor speed, then there's nothing you can do. Your provider's network simply sucks and you're better off subscribing somewhere else.
Yeh those speeds are what i should be getting
And yes clearly the network provider doesn't have enough capacity, but Im locked in for 10 more months :s - in fact their helpdesk told me the network was at capacity, but as far as Im concerned that's not my problem and not what Im paying for, but the point is... Can i dump them with 10 months left?

Now this may not be the case with you but if it is T-Mob or Orange UK or some other UK networks then the thread below may enlighten you. This may not apply to other countries but does apply to third party contract purchases and most new T-Mobile purchases.

Some people have gotten out of there fixed line broadband contracts due to misleading "upto" ratings, but not mobile broadband as far as I know, the T&C's normally say that they guarantee nothing, not even signal. Its a shame. 3UK have good speeds, but whenever I try to tether it lags all to ****, and they ALLOW you to tether.
Im pretty sure there networks just mega overloaded, there's lots of nights where my upload speed is higher than my download, meaning the backhall to the tower doesn't have enough bandwidth.

Reading through your thread just made me sick! I don't care how they put it but you can't call those speeds 3g!
Just as ISPs can't call dial-up speeds / latency
Luckily T-Mobile increased their speed cap for 3rd parties to 1mb.. But, wait for it, if you go direct you get a whole whopping 2mb!!! Wow!!
Put it this way.. I'm never getting another T-Mobile contract, you should see the speeds you get with 3 (UK)
Thanks for the links and advice. Its a good point, should go find the t&c's and nail it down.
My phone and contract are supplied as one from a supposedly reputable Telco. So my guess is that they have oversubscribed on their network and hoped no one would notice... That ain't gonna fly
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Ouch. I thought I was getting good internet speed on T-Mobile UK on my S2 but after doing a speedtest I'm barely getting 1mb down and 0.5mb up :-/
When my phone, on 3UK kicks into gear (H+) and the network isnt lagging to hell I get.
433kBps down 207kBps up (The bytes per second) aka 3.39Mbps/1.62Mbps

call your providor. They will send you a message that is embedded with an file to install. This will configure your HSPA settings correctly.
Then reboot phone, and then you are good to go. I have to do it everytime I buy an international phone as the settings are slightly off.
Alright I have searched through the forum and can't really find anything on this. I just got internet service with Comcast and the download speed on my S4 is terrible. Can't get over 3 or 4 Mbps download but upload is really high sometimes 80 to 100 Mbps. All the other devices in the house get great speeds. I've tried to contact Comcast and all they want is to charge me more money for tech support with the gateway or doing a firmware update. My S4 is rooted and it does it on both TW and aosp ROMs. I know Comcast is a pretty popular company so I'm hoping another S4 owner can help me figure this out. Thanks

What does comcast advertise your speeds at? I have a 50mb connection at my house but am only able to pull about 22 down. It might not be the phone either, it could be your router as well. When you were testing the speeds was there anyone in your house downloading or streaming something because that would affect the test as well.

It seems like your node is messed up or the modem.
Comcast does not offer these kind of upload speeds or it's simply your phone trolling you.
That kind of upload speed is for few people maybe 20 or less I don't know hard to say.

Wow thats insane upload speeds. I wish I had that for my twitch streams. Anyhow I did a bit of googling and others with comcast had the same problem as you and after trying a different router it solved the problem. Are you using one supplied by them or do you have a different router. Maybe upgrading the firmware on the router would help out.

My Verizon S4 (i545) over Wifi just got 14.26 Mb/s download , 15.89 Mb/s upload.
For contrast, my desktop gets 28.52/31.58 - so the phone is slower.
OK, maybe it's the wireless infrastructure here. But my Galaxy Tab 2 gets 16.55 download 11.25 upload.
I will say that the numbers I'm getting seem to vary a lot from run to run.
Edit: I forgot - I use FiOS. Not slowpoke Comcast, which may be the entire cause of your 4 Mb/s cap.
For me, same problem with Comcast. (2-5mbps wifi)
Solution: Dump their Xfinity "all in one" modem. Soon as I put my personal modem (Moto something or another) on the line, bam, 30+mbps on wifi. Only downside was I lost my land line phone ability.

Try changing your encryption type. Seems counter intuitive, but see what happens on WEP. It will only give you g speeds (around 18 mps max probably) but may work. I've seen this happen on plenty of Apple stuff, never any android though. Also, do you live in an apartment? Try an app called WiFi analyzer, see how many networks are around you. More than 10-12 and that could be part of it as well. I have seen apartments with 40-50 networks visible, and everybody had terrible wifi speeds.

For me, same problem with Comcast. (2-5mbps wifi)
Solution: Dump their Xfinity "all in one" modem. Soon as I put my personal modem (Moto something or another) on the line, bam, 30+mbps on wifi. Only downside was I lost my land line phone ability.
Hope this helps.

I can't I have the thriple play bundle with the wifi, home security, and the cable.. I don't think they'll let me
It is a known issue with Comcast using I think Linksys router.
I had the same problem, I flushed my router with dd-wrt firmware and applied some commands and firewall block and my download went up to 50.
Search on Google Comcast ssdp. And you will see solutions.

Ya I have the triple Play bundle too, just no home Security. They will absolutely let you put a personaly owned modem on the line. You will still have to pay for theirs though.... (Found out the hard way)
I was having this issue and I switched to my 5 ghz wifi on my router and I actually gained about 10 megs
