[Q] galaxy s 4g - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I am new to smart phones, so bare with me please. My galaxy s 4g shows the 4g symbol but i am only getting speeds on average of 30 kbps down and 550 up using speedtest.net. There is not a lot I am able to do with these speeds and it is very aggravating. is there something wrong with the phone or some setting i don't know about? thanks!

Have you used a lot of data? Sounds like you have been throttled.

You might have gotten a lemon. Try to exchange for a new device and see if that solves the problem...if not...it's probably just the coverage in your area....although it's unlikely if your phone is saying 4g.

Cant get faster then 1mbps!!

got my infuse about 3 weeks ago..love it for the most part but everytime i do a speedtest on phone, with wifi off, i never get more then 1mbps, i get like .07 and .50 if im lucky...they said that some towers are getting fixed and told me to go into the att store...i ran a speedtest frim store model (not on wifi) and got like a sold 2mbps when my phone was next to it getting .25.......had a 3g sim card so i thought maybe that was it but i swapped for 4g sim card and my results were the same??%
any input would be appreciated! anyone have same problem??

They told me the same thing. They said that the whole state of NJ is having trouble.
Try going to speakeasy.net and try their speedtest. For some reason it seems to work better than the app. I have seen others post this and tried it myself with much faster results.
i tried speakeasy and i got up to .99 but like i said store model got 2 mbps with ease right next to my phone so im gonna go swap out my phone since im still within my 30 days and we'll go from there....

Funny I get somewhere between 2.5 - 4.5 in bay area cali
sucks to be you. i still get up to 14mbit with a drop of no less than 10. and sim cards have nothing to do with it.
I got 9.something mbs when i just got the thing....tested just now, getting 1.1 >_> i think somethings wrong
edit: tested again twice, got 4.5 and then 3.1 mbs...>_> I hope they hurry up and get 4g up and working properly in Houston some time this lifetime.
im in nyc and only getting about a 1-3 down and .1-.3 up. wth is that about

AT&T's backhaul is overloaded in a lot of areas, NYC is notorious for this.
i.e. your connection to the towers is wicked fast, but the towers' connection to the rest of the world is crap.

Service today was crappier than normal... At points under 1 mbps. Hopefully that means they had a tower down or something to upgrade it to HSPA+. Probably not.
Just upgraded from a tilt 2 to the infuse lastnight r00ted it and added a few apps I just checkd my speed here near Tampa and got 4mbit dn x 1 mbit up.

Why are my "4G" speeds so incredibly slow?

I know not to expect LTE speeds from AT&Ts HSPA+, but it shouldn't be what it is in my opinion.
Average is .9/1 D/U with speedtest. Ping is 100-200ms most of the time, never lower, sometimes higher.
Fastest result I EVER got is 3/.1 that was at 3AM in a rural area (HSPA in rural areas you say? yep.). So is my phone's hardware bad, is Minnesota bad for HSPA+ in general, or is it something else?
Most people get at least 3/3 on average, and I haven't gotten that once.
Depends on where u are at. I got 6/3 around DC. Back in raliegh it is usually 3/1 d/u.
I think att just does not have 4g in many places.

It's HSPA+, that I know. I asked them at the store, I've looked at maps, and I believe a few of my friends with ATT "4G" phones get HSPA+ in my house.
3G is like 150Kbps, even though my "4G" is 6x faster, that's not exactly fast. It's like dial up compared to 512k DSL.
I get between .7 and 2+ at my house. When I'm up & around Nashville I get 2 to 5 on average. I'm sure that once att releases gingerbread for us, the dev's will have some good roms finished.
Cranky...
I hear some Carriers reserve the right to throttle a user's bandwidth if they decide that the user has used too much bandwidth for the month (e.g. by tethering, making the phone act as a server, etc.)

You know... every samsung android phone I've owned has had the problem. Except, for me, it will sometimes be really fast, and other times be really slow, all on 4g and all in the same area. It's very strange.
I browse a bit and download apps, I don't tether or anything. And I have a 200MB plan so it's not like they would even do anything about tethering, a full sized computer uses than in 10 web pages.
My friend with an HSPA+ phone is coming over in a few hours, I'll get his phone from him and see what his speeds are. If they're much higher than mine I'm complaining to AT&T or Samsung.

when your friend comes over why don't you both run some tests, than swap sim cards and run same tests, this will help validate if issue is with your phone or with your account/line being routed improperly or something.

What ROM are you running?
I also had a problem switching from an iphone, I only had a 200mb data plan, then I got the infuse never told them I switched. I was getting really slow speeds I called at& t they said I need to upgrade to a 4g data plan. After that my speeds improved immediately after a reboot.

@Entropy, it happens with any ROM, but in case you wanted to know for some other reason... infused 2.3.3
@BadFisH, it's a 4G data plan. They activated it at a kiosk in a mall and it's a 4G labeled SIM (not that that ACTUALLY makes a difference).

Any Froyo ROM should be fast, but since he's talking about complaining to AT&T and Samsung - well you've gotta be on an official release to have a valid complaint.
Yeah stock froyo is the same as any GB or other custom ROM. And yeah you have to be on stock for a claim, but I can easily use the unbricker to go back to stock.

Try testing at an off-peak time... I'm surprised you have full HSPA+ service in a rural area.
FYI all of our Gingerbread ROMs are known for poor data performance. One of the top three known issues with UXKG3. However if Froyo (esp. stock) is also problematic - it's likely that your area doesn't actually have HSPA+ service deployed yet.
Don't believe lowly store reps. If they had more of a clue they wouldn't be working in a retail store...
On stock froyo I was getting 3-5 dl and maxed at a little over 12, then when I went to gingerbread im getting 4-6 but capped at about 9-10. My overall speeds are way faster, but my max is a little less, I'm guessing it has to do with the launch of a bunch of new 4g devices and more users are on the network. Other than that I'm happy with my infuse running GTGs Infused 2.2.3.
The Infuse is the fastest device I've ever seen. Typically, I see devices in my area get 1-3 mbps down and .7-1 mbps up. Without fail, the Infuse gets triple, sometimes quadruple that (uploads generally the same).
My friend's atrix only got around 100Kbps higher when we ran speedtest at the same time. Guess it's crap HSPA+ out here, though it IS HSPA+.

Crazy thought on LTE Throttle!!!

You know how we get throttled on LTE sometimes at 2.5 or 3.5 gigs per month (some users even higher), well, I was just curious if we could increase our throttled connection to a higher cap. What I am saying is using the same throttled APN without switching APN's. I do believe that switching APN's as soon as you get throttled you will not increase your cap. The problem is data connections are so slow that you can't even stream content. Any thoughts?
They throttle based on users in your area. Here in San Diego I got throttled at 2.02 Gigs. I called AT&T, and I was like WTF. In my area I'm considered a heavy user, which I'm pissed because I still got 13 days till my bill cycle ends. So the way to increase the throttle rate is for users in your area to increase there data usage.
try it for you it might work i know they do it by area but i seen some ppl increase their throttle and now they don't get text until hitting 4GB that's good. so goo idea.

Here in Atlanta I get throttled at roughly 6.5 gigs I usually hit that half way through Billing cycle. After that I swap apns and have added 4 or 5 gigs more with the hspa apn. I do however have a little More trouble staying connected if I leave the radio on lte/hspa/gsm auto mode. But swapping apns is for sure a work around till new Billing cycle.
Also the way they base there throttling, the more people that buy and use lte phones in the area every month the higher the number will go for you.

Does swapping apn's do anything for your data usage or is it just for the speeds?

using different apn gets you out of throttle but it won't give you lte speed. It will give you 3g speed or maybe hspa+.

I got throttled today at 10.5 GB in the South Florida market, and wondered what exactly caused the throttle, So i took a look at the build.prop file and saw a couple of things
one was
Code:
DEVICE_PROVISIONED = 1
I changed it to
Code:
DEVICE_PROVISIONED = 0
then rebooted twice. I noticed a difference when i was connected to the phone APN, then i looked further down and saw
Code:
persist.data_netmgrd_nint = 12
I changed it to
Code:
persist.data_netmgrd_nint = 64
and now i am getting 12Mb/s on 2 bars of LTE
where can we find this build.prop?phone root and need custom rom?

Stock Rom rooted. Use Root Explorer or similar and "view" the "build.prop". Scroll through until you see the lines of code above. Be careful, changing things can mess the phone up really quick if you don't know what you are doing.
I posted what is on my phone to compare a non-throttled plan with the numbers from the throttled plan listed above. The numbers were different, but I have no idea what they mean.
Hey ajdrausal, by going to the phone APN you are no longer using LTE, you are using HSPA+. So whatever that method was I don't think is the solution for capped LTE.

I would love a follow up to this as well. Maybe a screenshot of the build.prop with the 4gLTE logo on the status bar?
I was wondering the same. Many don't realize that HSPA+ is capable of speeds that high.

4G Throttle?

I'm on Verizon and I was under the impression that they did not throttle the 4G network, but lately, I have been getting very slow speeds (on the order of 3G speeds) and have been unable to connect to 4G in locations that I usually get four 4G bars.
I have not rooted or modified my phone in any way.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Will I be affected by Network Optimization?
Only a small percent of customers will be affected. To be affected, you must be:
A data customer on an unlimited data plan;
Have a 3G Verizon Wireless device (if you have a 4G LTE device you will not be impacted); and
Among the top 5% of data users in a given month.
So the short answer is: you should not be throttled. I'm at 40GB for my data plan this month. I had problems with my home DSL and it has been out for awhile, so I do everything from my phone. We've had LTE for almost 3 weeks here and I have been able to run speed tests daily that exceed 30Mbps down.
Hmm, then I suppose there's something actually wrong with my connection. Hanks for that.
Any ideas as to how I can resolve these issues? I've been stuck on 3G.

Check your APN settings.
I was having the same issue. I rebooted my phone a few times and that didn’t work. I was literally walking into a Verizon store to have it looked at when I decided to run another speedtest so that I wouldn’t look stupid. It went from usually getting 4mbps down to 35mbps down. I went ahead and took it in and they said nothing was wrong with it. I took it home and since then I’ve been getting 20mbps down consistently. This is weird considering I’d been getting 4mbps down since I got the phone.

Good to know, thanks for this information. I was wondering since I have been doing some tethering. I might be up at 8-10GB in a big month but nowhere near 40GB.
I've consistently managed 20-30 Mbps when I drove to an area with 4G, but recently, it hasn't wanted to go over 3 Mbps. Additionally, quite often the data connection (and occasionally my calls) have been dropping. I'm not sure if it's a phone problem, a tower problem, or what.
I've noticed the same thing. My phone got 18mb/s down when I first got it, now it's only around 5 I think.
Reviving the thread now that 4G LTE unlimited data owners are affected. Show your support and send this guy a quick note. Please do not allow VZW to "throttle" unlimited 4G LTE plan owners. He is on our side. Don't enter a BS email address.

ATT to Straight Talk

Question: looking at leaving ATT to cut down on expenses. Straight talk and T- mobile both have deals where you can being your own phone and just switch Sims. Since I'm running Scott's CM 10 (12/29), figuring their requirement to have the phone unlocked is not an issue. I noticed that T- mobile has a limit then it's throttled. Straight talk doesn't seem to have a cap or throttle point. Anyone out there can give me their experience with straight talk? Thank you for any advice/wisdom/warnings.

Yes Straight Talk will throttle you. When I first got straight talk I used 5+ gigs in first month without being throttled, but 2 weeks into the second month and about 2 gigs used I got a friendly call from them and was throttled. Severely throttled as close to no data as possible. To use that much data I was setting up computers at a friends house that did not have internet.
I have had straight talk over a year now, and that is the only time I have bee throttled. I have went over 2 gigs in some of those months. ,

I use the att sim from St and have for about 4 months now. Last month I was downloading Rom updates at work which add up quick but stayed under 1.5 Gb total for the month and my speed was slowed to 0.23mbs where I was getting around 5-7mbs. I never got a call or text about it but when my next month stated again it seemed speed was back to normal. I do like the Service tho as it is the same as att and half the price

So, from what I've heard so far, straight talk uses ATT towers, so reception should be the same. Data usage should not be a problem, as long as I don't tether. The throttling does go down to a crawl, but some people don't see a definable amount that it starts at. At least one person noted that they called and got speed back up. Overall, not to bad I take it.

I've been using Straight Talk since October and love it but I'm not a huge user of data on my phone or my tablet. I did use my phone as a hotspot over Christmas while at my grandmothers house in the backwoods of Kentucky and not only had service but internet for my laptop and Toshiba Thrive tablet. I must say I was impressed! :victory:
LOL I wouldn't abuse it to much they cut me off completely within 10 days lol funny when I'm home I'm on WiFi anyways I'm switching after this month getting a new phone I'm over the throttle and complete shut off.I will keep the infuse though its a bad a$$ phone for sure.
