I was with a few friends who have iPhone 5's and we all downloaded speedtest.net and ran them. One friend on sprint did 6mbps I did 16mbps... That's about the norm for me. And my friend on att did 52mbps. We were all blown away. Now I'm sure we were right next to his tower. So I started digging and cannot figure out anything about the antenna settings I'm supposed to use to get the best speed. I'm running the energy ice Rom. But has anyone had any boost in speed while playing with different settings? Or any web links I can read to try some stuff out for myself.

I found that these settings gave me an extra boost in internet speeds.. its located in the build prop.. use root explorer to change to these settings then "save changes" & reboot.. then try the speed test app..

I live in Prairieville and we don't have 3g. To get 3g in BR, you have to live within a stone's throw of LSU. Otherwise, your roaming on another carrier's 3g.

I don't remember all the places that I was able to connect, I believe I was getting coverage around the Audubon Aquarium (outside) and also just barely in our hotel room, but it was on the inside of the building. I didn't attempt too many times just because I needed the phone to last all day since we were out any about and there was not access to a charger. The Clear coverage map shows coverage there and since I had just gotten the phone, I recall trying see if I could get connected. I do not have any speed test results to verify though.
I don't live that far from you guys, Biloxi/Gulfport area, and they are testing it here now. Keesler airforce base can already get it so I don't see why it should not be in a major city like Orleans real soon.
Near the aquarium???? SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD REASON 2 GO 2 HARRAHS ON A MONDAY!!!!!

ha what PRL did you change to?.....if its one of the VZ based ones on the forum here just be careful as Sprint will not think twice to hit you with a little letter when you go over the roaming allotment...
Sprint's data speeds are so crappy, don't expect you speed tests to be similar. And upload speeds are usually never as high as download.
And yes, be careful if you flashed a Verizon PRL not to go over 300mb a month.

You should always know exactly what your flashing and adding into your device before doing so btw, so you should know exactly what PRL you have to be honest...

ST runs on the t-mobile network. You need to flash a compatible modem.
Dude I'm on st running the latest att modem and check these out.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Straight talk runs on either. Depends on your area. You're most likely at&t seeing as 90% of straight talk is.
Straight Talk leases their services. The reason it's slow, it's NOT hspa. It's 3G and that's most likely the best you'll get.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
OP, are you being throttled? Seems ST possibly throttles on 100MB a day and 2GB a month. That would leave you with H+ and horrible speeds. Contact ST and ask them to reset your network.
They used to throttle me ALL THE TIME! Good price but **** service. Went back to AT&T so I can use MY data how I pay to use it, not how they want me to.

Have you input the straight talk APN?
At any rate I read somewhere else online that it can also depends on the radio you have which I don't know much about I do know about rooting and flashing custom roms what I have never done tho is changed out radios or kernels on on that site somebody said something about UCl F 2 I have looked online and have not been able to find a downloadable 1

Flashing a modem is easier than flashing a rom. Get the modem.bin on your sd card, boot into recovery, flash the modem.bin using CWM/TWRP (no wiping needed), reboot, check for correct APN settings (some roms don't include APN settings).
Im sorry bear with me ranger but can u go a li little more in depth for me where do I get that modem. bin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
If you have really slow speeds then you are either being throttled or you are not filling in the APN correctly. Does not sound like a modem issue. What speed does your notification bar show you connected as? How about settings > about phone > status >Mobile Network Type: ?

How about a screenshot of the status page in settings? APN looks good. Speed test sure looks like you are throttled. For chit and giggles try removing the proxy and port from the APN and see what you get. Not the MMS proxy and port.
Ok, I have gone through the forums quite a bit and I cannot seem to figure it out. I have 4g be when I do a speed test is very low. I have tried several modems and they all are basically the same thing in terms of ping and network speeds. Currently, since I flashed a lot of modems the current one is unknown. Can someone whom is smarter than I figure this out? I cannot make heads or tales from this and the included pictures should help out a bit. Thanks everyone in advance

Looks like a normal signal to me. More than likely HSPA:11 or 15. Go to settings > about phone > status > and check your mobile network type. More than likely you are in a strong 3G but weak 4G area.
Its a very strong 4g network and the way I know this is because I was coming from a gs2 or t989 and its very strong. With that phone I get around 15mbps to 20mbps

You are not getting lte coverage so though your results are on the low side for 4g they are not so low that I would think anything is wrong with your hardware.
I have 4glte and my ping sometimes reach
100.

LTE is no joke. I've been trying to tell my friends that it makes HSPA + feel like dial up. I only have 2-3 bars right now. I'll come back and post when I can get a better signal.
LA area. Much better than pre jb speeds. Still nowhere near the 40+mbps I was getting in Oakland.

I'm a against picketing but I don't know how to show it.
Makes you think paying for a ISP is a waste when you got LTE. Im on T-Mobile LTE and I average 14-20mbps in washington dc.
I agree. I've been debating dropping Cox internet.. but then I have to pay to tether and even with "unlimited" data.. I'll end up getting throttled..

I have noticed my throttled speeds are higher on LTE than they were when I was on a non 4G phone.
My throttled LTE speeds are actually as fast as my HSPA+ full speed was, (8Mb/s)
Luckily I haven't seen those dial up speeds since I've had my LGOG

Low network speed
I was in an AT&T store playing with various phones (I haven't decided which phone I want yet) and one of the tests I ran was speedtest. Turned off wifi on an HTC One, SGS4, and LGOG. The SGS4 and One both grabbed ~22/~6 down/up speeds, but the LGOG was in the ~6/~2 down/up range. All AT&T employees were really busy, so I couldn't ask them for help.
Can anyone think of a reason why this would happen? I ran the test multiple times. (I didn't try to troubleshoot other than rerunning the test)
The network was probably really bogged down by multiple people using the network off the same tower. "Heavy traffic"..
Correct me if I'm wrong. Just my educated guess.
As you can see from the above speed tests.. the LGOG has no problem getting high speeds
Also did you check to see what network it was on...
4G or HSPA+.... the symbol would have said 4GLTE or 4G respectively
