Ive been to s4gru.com and read that the LTe signal in Miami was going to start coming in during November. I dont know why I downloaded this app called sensorly but I did like a week ago , now I got on it and is showing LTe signal right next to where i am at work , but it doesnt connect or maybe im not doing it right. I took a pic with my boss blackberry , sorry for the quality , but you can still see it.

Try updating profile and prl.....but you may just be a tad to far until its more saturated.

Whoaa ,did the updates and got LTE signal for the first time. I'm getting really good signal at work. This thing is fast!!! Phuck yeah!!!

Glad the update worked for you. Near where i live i get LTE but it doesnt pass data or texts. (have not tested voice) I think the install got screwed up at that tower.
Other places around town, work for example, LTE works fine..
Im also on the verge at home. So i can see it switch from EVDO/A to eHRPD/LTE often.. So im thinking maybe they still have some work to do on the tower my phone is trying to connect to..

I was down in Atlanta and Braselton, Georgia last weekend for the American Le Mans race, and I was getting full strength LTE signal down there, BUUUUUUT data would not transmit like the problem you're having.
Not having trouble with data anymore , got good signal st home. Battery is draining a little faster , it has to be because of the LTE right?

Yes, lte is fairly battery hungry, however personally I don't see a huge difference, unlike wimax, used to turn that on and my battery would be halfway gone in 20 minutes.

Hey guys was reading in the radio thread and trying to figure out what radio is giving the best coverage and data at the moment?
Currently I am on 518 which is what the phone came with out of the box. Have seen some say that this is the better of all of them but have also seen people say to actually downgrade...
Let me know what your on and what your experiences have been.
Thanks will be given if you can help me out here!
It would depend on where you're using your phone, no?
I need something I have no reception at work or at home

that prl hack wouldn't be a good thing to use..as your data always is roaming via Verizon's towers which can get your account terminated for to much roaming, ill post a tut soon though hopefully once I get home..

You could try out each of these radios and see which one works best for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193101
The 518 radio works great for me.

Can't complain about those speeds while in a half basement. Luckily I have not had any problems with dropped calls or any thing either.

If I had speeds like that, I'd pee my pants!
I average 400 to 600 kbps at my home in Colorado Springs. I've tried all 3 radios and it seems they are all about the same.

You sure you're not holding it in a death grip? Just playing, how many bars does your brother get in 4G mode? If he's rooted, he probably has a custom modem so that could be the difference. or you're antenna is just crap.
Lol were both stock and not rooted atm. He had I think two bars at 4G and I had full 3 bars on Edge. It's been on 4G since that but if it keeps doing it I'm gonna go and exchange it or it may be a software issue that a OTA will resolve

I just got 4g yesterday near west bloomfield and it was fast but now when I download an app from the play store its super slow no matter what ROM I have. Its just fine when downloading stuff on the internet or using the browser and other apps, but downloading apps from the play store is super slow...downloading apps on 3g was faster than it is right now on 4g. For example, it took me 25 minutes to download 4shared from the play store (and its only 4.5mb)...took 10 minutes to download a 760kb music app from the play store! Sprint is Ridiculous

If i had it on my s4 and you have 3 different phones all with the same problem it's probably t mobile, and like the previous commenter said, the nexus 5 also had this problem
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
I have this too, here i thought i was deleting too much bloat from the system. But apparently not. IMO, i think its Android 4.4.2 and T-Mobile. I had this issue happen on all 4.4.2 ROMs even on my S4. It didn't happen until i flashed the 4.4.2 ROMs. So I think T-Mobile may have made a mistake in their coding when making the update. Lets see what the next update will bring. I wonder how we could even bring up this issue to them because i guarantee you they will claim its the device.
Don't remember because i have been on 4.4.2 forever, and i can't check because theres no other option besides for buggy aosp, but there have been a few updates within 4.4.2 like NF6 which added VoLTE...
Btw if this is a common problem something should be done... This really f*king sucks

Its definitely T-Mobile. A T-Mobile rep told me the issue might be LTE, and to try turning it to 4G only, seemed to help me.
