I unlocked and flashed alliance ROM on my TMo S5. I set up the APN as per AT&T S5 settings.
Now, though it shows 4G LTE, it still gives me HSPA speeds only. I used to have like 45+ Mbps speeds on my S3 and on my AT&T S5. But on this one I am barely hitting 12 Mbps.
Did anyone get any better speeds than this?
Wondering this as well. Copies my friends apn settings from his AT&T Galaxy S5 and after doing a speed test I'm getting roughly 14down and 5up. Then again this is sort of out in the middle of nowhere and not where I live(but it still shows LTE)

If you have the modem that comes with the NE5 update, you're gonna have to roll back to the previous one.

Yes I went back to the NCH Modem and got my 30+ down and 10+ up speeds back. If your phone came with the NE5 update then you will get vary low speed this is a bug in the new modem which T-Mobile is aware of and will change. Check out the dev Forum.

I assume you're on AT&T network as well, can you post your APN settings?
The relevant fields on mine are as follows:
APN: phone
mmsc: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authetication type: none
APN type: default, mms,supl,hipri,fota
Under about(rooted and on Alliance), baseband shows ANCH.
This is where I got my APN settings from and haven't had any issues. I was even on the new modem and was still hovering around the same data speeds.
http://apn.gishan.net/settings/752_4_att_apn_settings_for_samsung_galaxy_s5.php

After returning home and checking LTE in my general living area, my speeds are back up to par. Seeing between 40-50down and 10-15up.
I am on NCH modem. Even the APN settings are the same as mentioned above.

While inside the house(where I live) the galaxy s5 sees 14-16 down and 4-6up. My lumia 1020(AT&T version) keeps a steady 26 down and 10up with the same APN.
When I went out of my home to a busy hub about 2 miles from home, I got 18 down. Looks like modem isn't optimized for at&t networks.
The top result in attachment is 2 miles from my home, and the bottom one when I'm inside my home.

Speeds aren't bad but they could be better. I guess we're stuck on waiting for a better modem that is optimized for them.
AT&T
I bought a 900T for use on AT&T, I'm rooted and unlocked and input my APN settings but they won't stick or save. Every time i save them they disappear. Any input?
Ok. So here it is. After talking to AT&T customer care, and then he fiddling something, I got back close to LTE speeds on my TMo S5. Post screenshot. The top two are the recent ones, AFTER the call, and the rest from BEFORE the call.

Hello everyone,
following a thread I made in general regarding canadian owners, I have a specific question about HSPA+ speed you guys are getting on the UK model. Most people that posted in the thread were saying that they were not getting adequate speeds, a lot lower than what would be expected from an HSPA+ network.
Can people run a quick speed test running on HSPA+ and post the down and up results below please? I am on the verge on getting one from handtech but I need to know that I will be getting the speeds I am expecting (between 7.5 to 10 mbps down).
Please post location, signal strength and down/up speeds
thank you very much
This is what I got on AT&T with 4 bars in H+ (I'm in VA):
To DC:
Ping: 162ms
Down: 2163kbps
Up: 1088kbps
To VA:
Ping: 291ms
Down: 2545kbps
Up: 705kbps
To GA:
Ping: 141ms
Down: 2605kbps
Up: 1125kbps
To TX:
Ping: 312ms
Down: 1989kbps
Up: 1124kbpsz
that sounds terrible, thats not HSPA+, my old iphone 3g performs better than that!
What the hell is wrong, im really wondering if it's the phone or the network at this point...
I'm pretty sure it's the network. The Atrix, as well as the iPhone 4, I had before gave similar numbers. AT&T is still in the process of installing their "4G" network.
Took a speedtest the other day and got this. About the same speed my wife is getting on her Atrix.

Agree with ph00ny, if you do back to back runs, you'll invariably get different results. I just know for me in Austin, my SGS never went above 5 mbps, so to see 7~8 mbps results is positive.
This is down to the network and the capacity of the mast you are connected to, not the phone.
For instance one mast gave me 3.57/1.2, another 1.2/1.
However if your phone/dongle is only 7.2/2Mbps spec then obviously you won't get more than that etc.
Yeah, and in my area I think I'm right on the edge of an HSPA+ area, since my phone switches between H+ and 3G quite regularly. I'm sure if I was in an area with better HSPA+ reception my numbers would be better...but it does what I need it to do.

Difference between 3G and HSPA is usually a software update, when you connect, switching between them is normal.
T-Mobile in the UK restricts HSPA to contract only customers.
Some of my speed results
Mine doesn't seem to like the speedtest app, fails the upload speed about half-way every time over 3G, yet doing it through the website via flash works...
So I currently have the SGSII and Nexus S I 9020A on AT&T. Since I have flashed the KB3 radio on the Nexus S it has been nothing short of phenomenal.
I really want to keep the SGSII but the spotty radio performance has me waffling...
So which is the best radio in the US for AT&T?

I added the unlimited 4g data plan by using a samsung infuse imei. So my plan is "4g" however I'm getting about 1.5 down and .800-1.0 up.
I even changed apn settings to match those in this thread.
I'm just wondering if this is a hardware problem or can a different modem correct these issues...
The Galaxy SII should work just fine with the at&t medianet settings. These are the settings I'm in and sometimes I can get download speeds of up to 7.5Mbps down.
Also, you don't need to be on that expensive quasi-4G plan b/c you can just use the medianet non-smartphone plan and it'll work just fine on the GSII.

Yeah i had to use those before hand and i didn't get any difference in speed. Maybe it's just my towers in this area or the radio i'm using.
any conclusive answers?
I am running my note on h2o and have successfully been running on 3g and 4g(hspa+) but I have been searching through google and even asked an h2o cs rep about the note gaining access to att lte service but i have gotten no luck on finding an answer. So i thought i might as well ask here. Do any of you know if ATT will allow mvnos to access their lte network?

That's a good point. If you're still using an old sim card on a 4G phone, your data soeed will suffer. If you are using an old sim, shame on T-Mobile for not switching it.

I can confirm updating your sim will help.
When I first got my amaze I was using my old sim, and signal was suck ass.
Wanted to return it but the rep asked me if I was using the sim that came with the phone.
Inserted new sim.... then I got some updates popping up ( probably coincidence, was eight around the time of the wifi update).
I would say get an updated sim and make sure you have all the updates.
Can't hurt.
Then go for ics!!

Nah. But apn settings get filled as soon as you enter sim card and boot.
This gives us a clue that eventually, probably with next Iphone launch, fido will get access to lte, which would open the doors for the rest of the lte devices.
