As mant of us know, recently ATT announced it would begin enabling HSUPA capabilities on the Atrix and Inspire.
Ive consistantly had the H+ icon on my phone, and tried many ROMs and radios until I found the one I used now which consistantly keeps my speeds at 2-3.5mb.
Well earlier I noted an icon that showed a G instead of H+
I tested my speeds and kept getting 5.5mb or more consistantly. The phone went back to H+ and back to normal speeds shortly after.
Safe to say its coming soon?

They had better soon...
The average customer didn't really notice that data speeds were slower until they admitted it officially. Now that the cats out the bag, I've heard some pretty nasty phone calls from folks who want their IP4 back and most of them are within 30 days.
It's a retail cluster f**k.

I forgot to add that under the settings, the connection type showed up as unknown. Normally it was HSDPA. Hmmm

Nice one! LOL
I've seen G on ATT here on socal, very briefly, on my nexus one. it happens in certain very weak dead spots where the phone is in the middle of latching on to edge or 3G. the G stands for GPRS, which is one technology below EDGE. so its super old and slow, like 20 Kbps maximum.
I dont know then. I wish I knew how to take screenshots. I also thought the G was the old technology, but I cant make sense of it. My phone said connection unknown as opposed to HSDPA and the speeds were toying with 6mbps. Im a mile and a half from manhattan and never had a dead spot in my home. Maybe ATT wanted to mess with my feelings?

Wow thats such a weird coincidence. I was looking at this forum on my phone then I looked up and mine said G as well. Did a speedtest and got 7MBPS download. I have never seen anything past 3 in my area. Maybe they are testing it. I was promised that I would get 4G by the end of the month since I am covered by the map. Also I checked my connection type and the spot was just blank, Didn't say unknown like the op or hsdpa like it normally does. Also I was thinking maybe the phone shows G since the "new" network type is unknown so the phone dosn't know what icon to display and since G is the "first" network type thats why
Man if only i could get off of edge here (
They need to start 4G. This phone is fast, but, its much faster when its up. I bought it just because of 4G. I wonder if anyone made a big deal about false advertisement. Because no one mentioned to me that the towers or whatever wasnt up yet.

and once its up everyone will complain about the battery life and blame att.
Lets hope it comes soon. My only worry is I read that the update for the Atrix (not a 4g update, but misc One) will ruin the root.

i've been getting nothing but edge for some reason in the last day. i mean that march 31st date is coming.
I have been consistantly getting 5-6.9mbps consistant today. Anyone else?

G2 was said to be "stock" Android but it was nothing like stock. It looks like stock, but it's not 100% stock.

I got the G2x... my wife got the new Samsung 4G... both are so awesome!
The 2Gx is faster since it has the dual cores... but either way, you'll love it. Go for the G2x tho if you're a gamer.
I just got the G2X and love it, I have the Vibrant T959 and then the Galaxy S 4G T959V (too many variance in names for the Galaxy S, Vibrant - sure you know can understand). Anyways not even rooted yest the G2X is an awesome phone! If I didn't get that I would have seriously gotten the 1st Vibrant T-Mobile came out with but not being 4G would have sucked but for the moment I would have been pleased.
Hope I didn't make anyone mad or offend anyone either. As you can see I did keep the T959V (4G) just to try to see if I could learn on how to improve it and help add to the positive and not negative. Hope that counts for something when reading this.

Then you should totally go with the G2X. I was disappointed with not having the internal extra memory and capabilities that go along with that and in fact was going to return the 4g but kept it and then got the G2X on Saturday, haven't even rooted it yet or really played on it and love it!
It's fun to because it is a totally different setup being LG and the 4g is to a naked eye JUST LIKE the Vibrant 3g without the space and internal memory features.
Post what you decided on and let me know what you think. You can always get the 4g to be sure and then return it. You will know the day you get it if you want it or not coming for the T959. Let me know what you do, I'm curious if it was just me or anyone else who did the same (thinking it was an upgrade) and was really disappointed with it. I didn't plan on buying it, just a impulse purchase I am so bad with those.
Do not regret for a moment the 2nd impulse purchase for a phone I don't even really need which was the G2X, that phone is awesome and there is a lot already out there for it (including flashing CWM). Good luck.
Just got this phone last night, I'm coming from an Evo. Very impressed with the phobe, have no complaints with it. But is AT&T data always this slow? I live bout 10 miles outside Dover, De and Speed Test is showing under 100 kb.
Update, I have gotten a lil over 200kb, but it's usually around 100 or less. I usually get 500-1000kb with my Evo.

Check if your area has 3g coverage. I constantly get 2+ mbits up, but the upload speeds are really crappy. Att has disabled hsupa on these phones for some reason.
Sent from my Inspire 4TH using XDA App
That's way too low for an Inspire 4G. I know the 4G network of AT&T is crippled on these 4G phones right now and there is suppose to be an update for this phone and the Atrix to enable it, but you should be getting around 1000Kb/s. Once the 4G is enabled, the speed should go up to around 3000Kb/s.
If you're rooted I think you'll find this thread about editing the build.prop file to obtain faster cellular speeds interesting.
Im getting 3.5 down and 1.2 up on chicago, you may not be in a 3g area.

Yeah its looking like Im just outside 3G service. I dont know if this is gonna work. Might just have to stay with Sprint, maybe get the Evo 3D when it comes out.

I signed up for 4G data plan with AT&T, but have not seen the speeds yet. Guess I will have to wait till the entire AT&T 4G backend is put into effect.
Yes att has disabled the upload and the downloads are changeable. Simply root the device and load a rooted stock rom, or whatever rom you would like to try. Its all in the build.prop file in the main system. I've had 1.6upload since I bought and rooted the phone. And I get 3-5download. Look at the threads,very usefull

Well u also was never told the exact speeds either. They are still rolling out 3g in many areas. Root it,well worth it. But they can say "4g in dover is affective" but u can hit only 1mbps. They will say "but your in 4g".

Us stock Inspire/Atrix owners are going to need to be patient as AT&T works out all the issues. I have confidence that AT&T will shine through once T-Mobile is absorbed. But they have said the 4G speeds will be enabled on these devices soon.
Just did a speed test on my Inspire and this is the first time I tested where it went over 3,000Kb/s.
Just did a quick test ... 2752k down and 345k up. Perhaps there were network issues last night.
Sent from my rooted Inspire HD using XDA App
When you guys run these speed tests, how do you have the settings set for Animation for the speedtest application? On the new version, there's a slider between 'smoother graphics' and 'better performance'. Does this really affect the download/upload measurements?
Hey guys. I'm strongly considering getting rid of my inspire on at&t in favor of the nexus S. I'm looking for fast and reliable in nyc without lte so I'm drawn to this device. I also like cm7 support. Unfortunately, my time with the captivate has left a bad taste in my mouth towards Samsung. Before I make the switch I was wondering if you guys had any advice for me. If the reviews aren't so great I may consider the droid charge as well even though its lte and will likely not have cm support. I've just had enough with at&t. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance!

i don't understand. The Nexus S is already out, so you can buy it for T-Mobile, Sprint or AT&T (unofficially). There's nothing new to review here.
Pick a carrier, then pick a phone. The Nexus S is going to be on all BUT Verizon.

I think the Nexus 4G is awesome. If you get it, you don't have to worry about upgrading OS, etc. Nexus One and now Nexus S are absolutely terrific for getting the pure Google experience, which I think is waaay better than anything else.
That's what I was thinking. I like the updates from Google and I love Vanilla. I think it will be the perfect mate to my xoom. This weekend I'm going to make it to a sprint store and take it for a spin...

I would recommend picking up this device, I picked it up this past weekend and WOW! The first day I was kinda on the fence about it, but after a couple of days with it, my Epic seems like a slug!
The GPS locks on in less than 3 seconds, unlike 3 minutes for the Epic, which is nice.
I'd say go for it!

yea i definitely would. i went from Atrix to Nexus S on AT&T and it's just NICE having the latest OS.

Its funny but the GPS for the T-mobile nexus S I bought from Bestbuy had horrible GPS lock times that made me not want to spend the money on the At&t version. I even updated it to 2.3.4 and still dint see a difference. I didn't get to root the phone to try out roms but I'm afraid to spend the money and have the GPS not work for me. By putting a custom rom do you guys find the GPS lock time better? I don't know if I should just wait for the Galaxy SII or just get the nexus s since I did love the size of it and overall feel.. decisions decisions... lol
Yes its a good choice to get the Nexus S on Sprint's network. Cheaper plans than Verizon. Plus, Nexus is a pretty sweet phone. Fast and a wonderful screen.

No disrespect--just curious
Why would you be "new to the One S" and now asking if you should get something else and wondering about issues. If you mean you don't have it yet then there are many threads and posts on the forum already. And as far as I can say, it is perfect if you are OK with no SD Card and 9.3gb available internal memory--I am. Some complain on Multitasking--I have no issues. Although, all that is individual needs and opinions--and is covered extensively in various threads--
Highly recommend starting to read the General and Q&A sections for a wealth of info--
Whatever your currrent status is with the phone--enjoy it if you got it--and you will enjoy it, if you buy it--

I love the phone only thing I've noticed is multitasking, and signal. With regards to multitasking what happens is let's say you're web browsing or playing a game whatever then you do something else like check xda app. When you go back a lot of times instead of those apps continuing where they left off from it has to start up back again. It actually does it for xda app also. With the signal cell tower signal I just get a lot of fluctuations between bars dropping and coming back.

I flashed Trickdroid and Axiom S and wifi calling still not usable. I have turrible reception in parts of my house.
I wonder if the crappy wifi calling quality has its root in an buggy radio, if another ROM is also suffering from it? Anyhow, that is really the only "defect" I can find with this model. Otherwise, it's good! I wish it would have a removable SD card, but I recall reading somewhere in the forums that it is possible to mount external drives and such on this phone, but you need a USB Y cable (since the phone can't power the external device), or at least that's what I remember. One might also need a ROM to use the phone as a USB host. The possibility to do this makes me a little less upset over having just 16 GB of memory (or on TMob US only 10GB because of all the junk it comes with).
GS3 FTW!
Earlier today I received a notification that said I needed to get a newer sim for WiFi calling. I'll stop by the T-Mobile store tomorrow(today).
