I am in Europe not got rid of the non verizon sim messege but on Orange PL my s4 vzw version is on hspa+ i get around 10 mbps to 13 which is good pings arojnx 30.
But my battery dies crazy fast 7 hours runtime with almost 3hrs screen time.
I have no wifi here I have to tether but even without tethering it dies crazy fast.
Any tips or tricks ?

Hi. Recently I have been experiencing extremely, painfully slow Internet over the last few days on three UK. Normally its fine but the last few weeks it has been really slow. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Its slow at my house where I live but anywhere else and its fine? Any help?

Mines been the same I'm in the north east, it seems to be getting back to normal now though.
The other problem I have is my internet signal usually disappears on a saturday and sunday during the day.
Only help is to contact your network or try a different network sim .

Switching from 02 I've noticed the speeds are slower. Using speed test I'd always be over 1mb with 02 but barely can get half a mb with 3. It doesn't really bothered me though because I only use it for streaming radio and browsing what is very snappy despite the slow connection.
Could you do a speed test using the speed test apply.
I got 102ping. 455kbps down. 587kbps up. Very odd my upload being faster than my download.

I got ping 58 , 13.35 Mbps download and 3.35 Mbps upload in town where my internet works because its not near where I live. And at home I get ping 355, 0.56 Mbps download and 0.33 upload.. In don't get it its just rubbish where I live nowhere else .. And I've tried switching to a different three sim but to no prevail. I now have to use pur home WiFi because 3G is always too slow to load. But seeming as I have a "all you can eat data plan" it seems pointless to use WiFi might as well use 3G since I have it

I noticed your network says "hdpsa" mine says "cell" could this have anything to do with it ?

Will be back with att when my bill is paid ...something I cannot control at this time..-.- :banghead: student life ....

4g is the replacement 3g pretty much. Unless you get their fast internet I would not know.

My suggestion would be to go with straight talk or net 10 with an att compatible microsim you'll at least get hspa+ I'm on straight talk and completely satisfied... Just don't torrent with it lol

Thanks, hopefully ill be able to jump back to ATT when my simple mobile month is up... but yes I'm going to try that one next...( straight talk)
Here is my speed test... on "3g" ... it refused to find the other speed.... I tried like 10 times....

Yeaup Im on the same price plan but changed to it the first day it was out ... So I get 5g high speed data + unlimited talk & text !!!
I switched to the new plan too but have you noticed that the 3g speeds have slowed down or is it just me?

Yes I noticed & called multiple times about it ... I used to get well over 10-12Mbps and sometimes up to over 21mbps ... but when i made the change .. the speed struggles to get past 900-1000 !!! I thought to my self maybe its the rom im using .. wind mobile rom with apps 2sd ... but i doubt it ... what is your high speed data limit ... i get 5gb ... you ???
I also have the 5 gb plan. Before the change, like you, I was getting speeds up to 10 mb now after the change I'm struggling to get 1 mb. Sometimes I'll get a little over 1 mb but it never hits 2 mb.Guess there's a catch to everything. Also I am running the stock jb so it's not your Rom.

Glad too know its not the rom .. in a way !!! I guess now we actually have 3g speeds ... lol ... Its good enough for what i do and at l can still tether to other devices .. So im not yoo mad about it .. plus with the faster speeds i used to have with only 1gb allotment .. im better off... I would used most of my data up doing speedtest !!!
I recommend straight talk. 45 for unlimited all. I don't know if they have the micro sim available now, but I cut mine. Speed is reliable and fast enough for daily use. There are many threads about ST TMO service on xda; search it.

I get a discount on the Wal-Mart Family Mobile cause I work at Sam's Club. The speed may seem slow but it's enough to do everyday things. I streamed music tonight at work and it didn't buffer any. I've also watched a couple of YouTube videos and it streams fine.

please advice which is the better one, :good: going to buy one soon tnx
LTE of course
Aside from the modem that allows a faster data connection (download/upload) on the LTE they are exactly the same device!

LTE gives you faster performance on the data side.

but is that true LTE drains battery faster especially when signal is not good?? tnx

None is better. Only change speed on data and yet not everywhere. So C6802 is better if you don't have Lte and C6806/6833 are better if you have 4G. Lte drain more battery when using it, only on Internet as voice calls do not use it. Having more drain on my C6802 with poor signal, this is basic to all type of mobile network not especially for 4G.

That's not the case look on new iPhone 5s 4g tilktime is longer than 3g
Apple fans are hilarious! Swallowing everything without thought.

Sure, because you don't call on 4G or 3G. Voice call are still using 2G GSM or cdma2000. So how can the talktime be longer?

so basically, without good signal LTE will only drain more power and still be slow. is that correct? tnx

With a poor 4G signal it'll simply switch to 3G/H+ and always try to look for a good 4G. Same thing happen if H+/3G signal poor it drop and try to find it back. Only difference is that with a 4G phone it stop looking for faster network only when on 4G. After with a simple 4G/3G switch you will be able to enjoy full 4G speed when browsing Internet and can turn it off to limit battery drain when not browsing or when in a non or poor 4G area.
I do not have a Lte version only because shop in Vietnam advertise having the C6833 but don't have it and don't know when will. So I was impatient and bough the C6802 (my old phone died 1 month before).

thanks for all the info. :good:
I came from an iPhone 4s which is consistent with the 3g signal. I gave it to my wife when I shifted to the mega. Odd thing is I notice that I barely get 3g with the mega. It would be H+ or H but the iPhone seems to be faster.
Has anyone else noticed on this?
Is there a fix for this?
Sent from my GT-I9205 using xda app-developers app
H+ is 3G, if the signal is poor try a different modem.
How can be do that?
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9205 using xda app-developers app
H+ is something a lot faster than 3G itself.
The thing is that most of the people who use iPhone think that if they have 3G that's a miracle :victory:
Apple don't use the H symbol to represent the current network connection.

H+ is 3.5g so in effect faster that 3g. iphone software works differently than android and touchwiz also slows things down a bit. i think if your signal is like 1-2 bars then thats not optimum for data. my mega is on 4g and i get 30mb down so i am more than happy..........however my iphone 5 was no slouch on 3g! wait till we get some aosp roms which are lighter without all the bloat then compare
