Has anyone had a problem today where your phone just cannot connect to ATT's 3G or HSPA network? For some reason, my phone is getting little-to-no signal, and if I do, it is only on GPRS... I CWM'd to my stable nandroid, but no dice, leading me to think that this problem is with the network.
What's XDA's thought on this? Possible dev issue?

Their network is just pretty terrible right now. However, by summer we'll probably be singing a different tune about ATT's coverage when the iPhone user population will even out a bit. Also, I believe ATT threw down a few billion for network upgrades this year. It seems like they really took that Consumer Reports article to heart, so I actually see good things in the future.
i haven't had 3G in 24+ hours in NJ. stock, non-rooted.
Must be location specific; -51 dB and HSDPA in Dallas
It happens every now and then in las vegas usually right after a flash. I start to change modems and other stuff then realize "dammit I bet the network is screwed up" sure enough next day things are working again. Damn phone companys lol

funny thing metro pcs is working better than ATT in south florida. metro is known for bad bad reception
No problems with 3G at the places I frequent in the Tampa Bay area.
I've not had any problems with 3G connections this year.

interesting.. i spent a few hours yesterday with my phone going in and out with GPRS and no network connection at all. i've had fairly consistent EDGE ever since. i normally see 5 bars of 3G at my current location (newark, NJ).
reboots and battery pulls seem to have no effect.
-99db & HSDPA here in Tampa Bay area.

No AT&T 3G here...but I use edge network, get mostly 3 to 5 bars mostly indoors or outdoors depending on location. At my work, it's pretty good signal and get around 150-180kbps speed but at home is slower which is around 100-125kbps or slower, probably. I usually use wifi at my home with my own internet.
Out of Davenport, IA and I have great HSDPA signal running Perception 10.1 with the included 2.6.32.9 Firebird Kernel. I have flashed a bunch of DGs ROMs and never had issues with connectivity (voice or data).
I also get that the sim card.has been removed and its pissing me off.... btw, im on phoenix 3.5 with a setiron 1.5.6

I have 3G again, but regardless of HSPA or UMTS, I am getting .06Mbps down and about .4Mbps up. I have absolutely no idea why. I'm in Bridgewater, NJ.
I am in much the same predicament as you, reboots and pulls don't help. I've gone a step further and flashed 5 different ROMs today, no luck.

actually my 3G just came back a few hours ago too. 2-4 Mbps down and about 0.3 Mbps up, which are normal 3G speeds for me. and i didn't do anything to my phone, 3G just magically reappeared after at least a full 24 hours of only EDGE. strange.

Las Vegas + ATT = terrible.
I just went on a 2 say trip there, took me 2 hours to download a 37kb attachment with full bars. I'd get 30 text messages at once an hour late, with full bars.
If I had to work on the strip I'd drop att in a heartbeat... that is totally unfunctional!!
I've been fine elsewhere... and maybe that's just a bad day /spot... but damn!

My definition of normal is >3Mbps down, >1.5Mbps up... How is yours so different when you are so near? I get these speeds regardless if I'm on HSUPA or UMTS. I tend to use the latter to save battery.
The more I look, the more I think that ATT just capped my speeds 2 nights ago. This is crap. No modem change, nothing fixes it.

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....

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.

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?

I am on the 2 Gig plan and of course am not throttled on LTE. So I wonder what the numbers actually mean and if they matter?
Hey guys, share the info in regards this build.prop. If you really thought you found a solution why not spread the word.

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.

Ive called the customer service line many times and they cant even understand me let alone help me Ive been a SM customer for a while and have had no issues I recently switched from unlimited 3g to unlimited 4g and i havent noticed a speed upgrade and ive have speedtests confirm that. Is there something I can do in the APN settings?
Im on GO v5 But the rom didnt effect it as ive gone from stock to GO v2 to GO v5 all on 3g. Thanks for any help.
4G LTE is available only in Houston, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Jose, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C: http://t-mobile-coverage.t-mobile.com/ Did you check the T-Mo coverage map: http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/pcc.aspx/.

First, what speeds are you getting?
Second, changing APNs almost certainly will do absolutely nothing to change your data speeds.
Third, the SK4G doesn't have LTE. It has HSPA 21 as its theoretical max. The best I've ever gotten on it is about 14Mbps on the download.
Is LTE the only 4g option they carry? I just wanted plain 4g not 4g LTE. My speeds are around 250kbps. Very slow. Upload is around 1mpbs.
Also I just checked and I am well within the 4g coverage area of tmobile. I live north of miami

They probably set maximum speeds based on your plan more than anything else. That being said, 250Kbps is a concern if your upload is 1Mbps. I'd call and complain. I know they weren't terribly helpful, but ask for a supervisor if you need to. You may get someone who speaks better English.

Thanks for the heads up, ive never had issues like this til i started paying them MORE money
This is going to sound abit weird and im not sure if anybody has noticed but my N5 seems to be slower (connection) than my N4?
I used to get an avg of around 20mbps download and a ping of around 30-50ms on my N4
on my N5 i am getting 12mbps avg and 100ms ping?
I am on the same network Three (uk) who have DC-HSDPA and i have tested in the same area where i normally do, with full signal and i cant get any better than 12mbps on my N5
I've also noticed that on the N4 within the signal bars used to show an up and down arrow to indicate data activity and the H used to change into a H+ when data connection was active but on the N5 there are no indicators? The H stays as it is and there are no data activity indicators?
Would i be right in assuming that this is normal or has anybody else had a H+ signal on their N5? sorry for the confusing post.
Thanks
I'm on three also . did a speed test and got 22mb down . on the n4 I got about 18mb down ... Could it be just signal issues today ?
Yes I miss the arrows indicating data as well , those will he missed

Go into the mobile network settings and verify the APN information is correct based on your carrier. If you still have your Nexus 4, take the SIM card from your Nexus 5 and put it in the 4, see if the network connectivity is as slow or works better. If it's slower then it could be some other issue; if it's fast like it should be, look at the APN info and write it down, put the SIM card back in the Nexus 5 and modify the APN info to match what the Nexus 4 was using.
Reboot it and that should get you up and functional with the proper speeds, more or less. If this doesn't help/work then you could have some other issues.
And yes, there's always the possibility your Nexus 5 has some hardware issues, it's always something to consider even in spite of it being pretty crappy if true.

I had this same question too. Earlier i was getting around 5Mbps on 3 (UK). I'm told that stock ROMs don't have a H+ icon so that answers that question. I was expecting to get DC-HSDPA speeds though. Just tested again and got 2Mbps.

Changing from 4G mode to 3G mode made no difference to me. I don't see how Italia's APN settings would be any different to ours? I don't have another DC-HSDPA enabled phone to try so i can't tell if it's the phone or the network that's at issue.

Ah right, maybe its just the network having an off day then? do mobile carriers throttle the connection like broadband carriers (off peak + peak times) or maybe because ive used quite abit of data this month they have throttled my speed.
I just used the default APN that was on the sim card so i guess changing the APN wont make much difference. I guess i just expected a faster speed from a newer phone lol

It doesn't feel like throttling to me. I haven't used much data recently and it's the beginning of the month. Who knows? I've checked the 3 coverage map and this area is supposed to get good DC-HSDPA. I'll have to keep speed testing over time to see if the situation changes. Maybe i'll drop 3 a quick call if it doesn't improve.
Hopefully this area will get 4G soon, once the rollout begins in earnest.
Not sure how accurate this is. But I read somewhere that the 5 HSPA is at 21 MBPS max vs the 4 which was 42.
Knowing that you will always be lower than theoretical caps, that would make sense for slowing a bit.
But again, I haven't done a ton of research on it.

From GSM Arena: DC-HSDPA, 42 Mbps; HSDPA, 21 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps; LTE, Cat3, 50 Mbps UL, 100 Mbps DL
Phone is definitely capable enough! 3 themselves are quite conservative stating on their website that people should expect 12Mbps on DC-HSDPA. Italia has had 23Mbps already!
Could more 3 UK users post up their speedtest results?
I am with Three and getting bad speeds, download 0.35mbps upload 2.12mbps. On my S2 was getting downloads of 6mb with a similar upload speed. Going to call them tomorrow as all APN settings look fine.

I asked on the OcUK forum and at least one other person was getting 23Mbps, just like Italia. As soon as i got home from work i ran Speedtest again myself and this time got 16Mbps, which is in DC-HSDPA territory. I don't think there's any problem with the phones now, but perhaps the network hasn't been great today? I'd suggest running Speedtest a few more times and in different locations for a few days and see if anything changes.
For those getting 23Mbps on 3G, you should be very happy. My colleague was getting the same speed on EE, but on their 4G network. It looks like it'll be a while before we get decent 4G speeds in this country!

I had to get a new SIM card the other day as my old S2 sim was too big so hoping it might just be a problem with the sim card and they need to activate something as getting 4 bars with a H symbol so would have expected better speeds. Just hoping its not a hardware fault...

With such a low download speed there's a possibility of throttling in action. The last time i had speeds consistently low like that it was definitely because of throttling by 3. Have you used a lot of data recently?
Only normally use 100mb off data a month. Most of the time am connected to WiFi at home/work. It was only looking at this thread that made me check. Been stuck indoors for the last few days with the lurgy but going into work tomorrow where I get good speeds of 8mb+ so will do another test there before I start to get concerned.
Just tested a couple of times first test was just under 20 Mbps the next one was 23.85Mbps.
Just moved from my S4 and never got anywhere near this, the S4 gave me 1/2 bars signal strength the N5 gives me at least 3
