Damn I didn't know it was the big I haven't had any problems with 3g and phone calls so far here in las vegas, but maybe thats the Reason the phone battery doesn't last the long and it just sucks cause it takes forever to charged, idk why android phones do that

yeah it's a widespread known issue.

After swapping out a NS4G with issues my new one is a champ. Pulling in better speeds than the first one and is at least on par with the EVO for me.
Everyone loves dual core and all, but when I'm eatin Ice Cream and others are still waiting for cookies I'll be a happy guy.

Again Fixxer enough is enough man. Not everyone suffers the issues, none of us know why, but that is how it is. Stop bashing Samsung, and stop overtaking topics at every single forum you possibly can. Just drop it.. You have been flooding Android Central, Sprint community and this. You are bashing Samsung with incorrect info, and then bashing Google. You obviously don't know..

Not every phone has the issue. Since I went from about 20-50kbps on the old one to 450-1100kbps (3G) on the new one.......I'm pretty confident in my claim.
Pulled down 13Mbps on 4G today as well. I'm also seeing steady wifi signal readings vs the first one which was all over the place.
Nice try, though.
Those numbers using multiple speedtests and Speakeasy.net and also in the same house and at work.

Same reason my phone is fine sir.
I was running stock for 2 wreks b4 switchong 2 cm7. 0 radio issues

All it takes is one ignorant person to make people believe something. Despite what basically one person advocates, reception and data speeds are NOT horrible. Sprint employees will tell u anything. If anything....it's the network itself not the phone.

It's showing you have no bars for 4G? So i'm guessing the signal you have to the 4G tower is weak. Try getting closer, and post results. Just as Wi-Fi, Wimax will lower speeds as signal lowers. Wi-Fi runs at 2.4ghz and Wimax is at 2.5ghz, and both of those will suffer when your losing decibels and RSSI to that signal.

Umm no he wasn't lied to.. Sprint is getting direct information from Google and Samsung. As in the topic posted below showing a Google employee helping with the issue, and now listing it later on it that topic as reported to the dev team and that they are working on a fix. Sprint has never once released any sort of press release on any device concerning issues. Sure didn't with all the EVO problems.

Htc thunderbolt vs atrix 4g!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfdAHIfXYas&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
i dont have a problem with battery life but like the girl said true LTE phone . let me know when you exceed 4mbps down and 300kbps up
I got a 28.94 down, 35.48 up speed test when I was in Manhattan 2 days ago
I actually would have kept the atrix if i could even get 3g speeds.
I never broke 1.5 MB down...
And I live in Phoenix AZ!!
Oh , it also sucks for coverage - I would drive 10 miles out of city limits and go from 4 bars to NOTHING.
Verizon has a fantastic network - but the Atrix is the best phone i have ever had...
I returned the atrix for the thunderbolt..
I'm a long time verizon customer.. the AT&T network was too hit or miss, the phone had bugs.
it was faster, but I don't have verizon 4g coverage here yet in milwaukee. I'm sure that'll change and I can't wait
battery life, the atrix was better, but it had a 1900mah battery.. the tbolt has 1400 and a much larger screen.. i'm scared to see how it gets when I start beating on 4g... I can barely keep it to sustain a change while on the charger using mobile hot-spot.
The consumer is the only one that loses here

Nah - the upload speed is probably wrong due to the TB's huge upload buffer. It's a known issue that upload speeds aren't going to be correct using the SpeedTest app.
But no buffer in the world can improve download speeds, and I more care about that.
the download speed is borked as well, reads too low.

4Mb/s? You can get that with a standard flip phone. Now 4MB/s is a different story.
Either way, the atrix isnt really 4g, and it has a locked bootloader. Good luck, the tbolt also has more dev support and its only been out for one week today. How bout that? Those are the things that really matter. They are both great phones.

[MOD] Using Skyrocket on T-mobile/AWS Bands

So a lot of people have been PM'ing me in regards to this matter.
There are also a couple of threads lingering around in the General section on both the t-mobile and skyrocket forums which brush on the topic but don't really go into the details.
I decided to post this here as a MOD.
Yes the Skyrocket will support HSPA+/3g on T-mobiles network. How do I know this? I had one and was using it on t-mobile with no problem.
There are a couple radios you can flash to get HSPA+ on the skyrocket:
T-mobile SGH-T989 KID: http://minus.com/mlupRDTvJ#1
T-mobile SGH-T989 VK1: http://minus.com/mlupRDTvJ#4
Telus KJ3: http://minus.com/mlupRDTvJ#2
Here is the Stock Skyrocket radio: http://minus.com/mlupRDTvJ#3
Depending on where you are located/what bands your operator uses I would assume one of these radios would work better than the other.
On a side note a lot of people have just "claimed" that the skyrocket doesn't pick up hspa+. This is not true, it does but you will have to figure out the right ROM/Kernel/Radio combination. I experienced intermittent connectivity on certain skyrocket kernels while running a T-mobile radio etc. Either way I ALWAYS had the ability to connect to hspa+. Most often I would get speeds of between 3-7mbps. I personally used VK1.
When it comes down to the bottom line though, the skyrocket is essentially the same device as the galaxy s2 but with LTE.
IF this helped please hit the thanks button!
I am also using my skyrocket on T-Mobile. I have Juggernaut/Faux 009/VKL1 combo. So far it has been the best combo for me where I get 3-7mbps. The only problem I have it slow upload speeds. Not just for this combo but for all the combos i tried. I am only getting 50-100kbps upload speeds. Any idea why?
*just a heads up, multiupload has been down for weeks already, might wantto change the download links.

unlikely
i777 have completely different hardware.
But, what you need exactly (ROM, baseband) and why you need it?
if you need your i777 work better on t-mo network, try flash i9100 modems, may be it'll help.
If there will be problems, you may flash back i777 modem
PS: do not forget to make nandroid backup before flashing

Thanks for the suggestion, I never thought about that, will try it out!
Does anyone know if the AT&T Galaxy Note ROMs can be flashed on our phone? The Bell Galaxy Note (also LTE) comes with AWS HSPA+ and LTE out of the box... if it also has the MDM9200 chip and if the radios could be flashed on our phones, this could enable LTE, AT&T 3G, and AWS HSPA all at the same time!
I would assume not due to the resolution etc but the radios....quite possible they could
It works perfectly ! thank you so much ... !! It changes to 4G speed (4G Icon).

As long as the jig has a 300 ohm resistor tied to pins 4 and 5 you should be good.

I can't find anything small enough to fit inside the plug to measure the resistance
Based on the reference above, you should be fine. Sometimes you can take it to Radio Shack and usually they can confirm the ohms. You could most likely Google as the color bands on the resistor are indicators of the ohms.

Picked up the Infuse today. The jig does work
I flashed the INFUSED rom (froyo version) for now, nice and smooth. Not getting 4G service though. I even picked up a new sim card but that didn't help. Its probably because i'm on that old Media Net plan.
Did a few speed test and my highest was 7 down, not going to complain about that.

Glad to hear all went well. The Infuse was advertised as 4G but in reality it is 3G+ "delivered by backhaul." All I'm sayin' is you do indeed have good speed and I hope you enjoy the phone. :good:

That's Sprint's usual answer to missing features - "it will roll out soon."
If you are having network or signal issues, it's always, "We were working on towers in your area".

True at least my bill is smaller than with Verizon. Network has been decent too.
They let it be known early they were doing the complete lte roll out.... and when that was complete they would go back and add the volte ...

True at least my bill is smaller than with Verizon. Network has been decent too.

Sprint would always tell me I should be getting LTE and I never did. Then, I got my Note 7 and my area is covered in LTE. It's just my old device (One m7) didn't receive all the available LTE bands. The network really has come a long way.

Well at least it's better now.
If you have Google Voice, Hangouts Dialer installed and don't mind calling people from your Google Voice number you now have a temporary work around

I just came from a Note 3 that still does Talk & Surf. Took it for granted until yesterday. The only tricky part is being consistent using the Dialer once Google Voice is set up. Hope this helps although I'd prefer to have what Verizon has already without any workarounds..

I came from the Note 3 as well. I thought there was something wrong with my Note 7 until I saw this thread. That sucks.

It does. It's mind blowing how they make new phones & leave out the best parts of the previous. Wifi calling and the Voice record app is gone too. They have a recorder Within Samsung Notes but not the same. Even the Edge had the version that can type what you say. Handy for musicians or taking notes.. Patiently waiting for root, ad blocker and Exposed would be the ****

Good to hear

Checking on 5G and LTE speeds with T-Mobile

Got my phone today and really like the feel, features etc.
Working with the camera now to see how its working...
Biggest issue is 5G, coming from OnePlus 8 and get speeds in my house that keep getting faster.
But Edge is struggling! Motorola Engineers are looking in to it.
Anyone else having issues?
OnePlus speeds:
Motorola Edge speeds:
Random Pictures:
Stupid question from Germany...does the Edge works on 5G since the beginning in the US?
In Germany we're still waiting for the patch.
Edge is my only 5G device so don't have anything to compare it to, but here in Phoenix here is what I'm getting the last few days. Ignore the really bad one, that was at my in-laws place which for whatever reason has been really bad always and I'm thankful to have anything at all. Even though these speeds are plenty for my usage, it kind of stinks to think I might have even better speeds with a different device.

I haven't activated 5G yet but it doesn't seem to improve speed much on this phone. I think I'll save the $$ until Motorola addresses it.

Today I set my edge to prefer LTE and ran speed test then right back to 5g for test. The LTE in my area is much slower, so 5g does make a difference here. 48 vs 15 download speed as shown in screenshot

I see, in this case, I guess it's relative. It must be a location thing. The speeds I'm getting are more than enough for all my uses.
Edit: I know these were all done together but this is what I get at any time of the day or night generally.

I've never come close to 100 Mbps ever with any phone in my area, I wouldn't bother worrying about 5g either at this time.

Speeds improved today Tmobile said tower work was being done in my area...
I am in N Peoria but yesterday was 1st day driving around with this phone and it was all over the place in speed and some areas 4G was faster
So for now its really address specific.
Didnt notice mine till I watched a YouTube today and the kid said the case was super loose by the power button and sure enough I checked and its really bad.
Anyone seen any leather cases ?
Something like this open and easy
ALso anyone getting this when you do a voice search?
I am getting it once to twice a day...
Still working on Gcam pics

Nice what part of Tempe because Sat was over by the Pointe i10 and Elliott and it was average about 40 mbps.
Got to like that 114 better!

Yeah same area but think the 114 still gives hope!
I would still DM them on twitter just to see what they say.
