I don't know what's with the audio but its present in all AOSP roms, I think its an issue for other devices too.

It might have something to do with the audio effects.

After the stunt Sony just pulled, open sourcing their touch pad implementation would be fair enough, and IMHO would be better than official ICS.

I need a new kernel splash screen :) my support for Sony has dropped a little bit, but hopefully they will treat us with respect and release something for us.

Touch pads fully fixed on CM9 would be awesomesauce

About this dev challenge:

Stereo has been fixed, volume will be much louder: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/bab72b92f3f1d806ae1306e99cc2ff0570053660

Volume on first boot is fixed.

WiFi tethering SHOULD be fixed.

Bluetooth audio is still broken afaik

But progress is good

Thanks to FXP for fixing audio! :)

Should be in next nightly/FXP release :)

I made this thread to share my speed test results so people in my area can have a better idea on which Straight Talk sim card to order if they choose to go with ST. My results are that T-Mobile ST has really fast speeds but has more dead spots and vice versa with AT&T ST. Both speedtest were tested on my Galaxy Nexus and at the same spot. I used the T-Mobile sim for 2 weeks and the speeds were very consistent, before giving it to my brother. I been on AT&T ST sim for about 4 days now, and I have yet to go above 3mbps. YouTube videos constantly buffers when viewed in HD.

Well, here are the results in Southern California (Riverside county to be exact).

Left = T-Mobile Right = AT&T
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Archpope:
I really wanted to go with T-Mobile since it's $15 cheaper, but it was not to be. In both where I live and work, where my phone is going to be ~85% of the time, I got speeds with Straight Talk comparable to what you show in the picture above. With T-mobile, after a half hour of trying, both indoors and out, I was never even able to get a successful ping let alone a completed test. I live and work in Yorba Linda. I did a little better at my friend's house in Fullerton. she lives on a second floor apartment <100m from a cell tower with unobstructed line of sight. There, I was able to get a ping, but speeds were still <1Mbps for T-mobile.

But, that's what's so great about prepay. I'm not stuck with unusable reception for two years. I might try it again next year, and maybe it will have improved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkfire2024:
Thanks for posting your results. Now I hope T-Mobile in San Fernando Valley gets those sick speeds. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
Maybe T-Mobile has bad service in your area. This is the point of this thread. It's to help people decide which service to go with in their area.

I noticed that with T-Mobile, I drop to Edge in some places. But with AT&T, I'm constantly on H 99% of the time. But what's the point of getting HSPA connection when speeds are slow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
Share your results when you do get it. And remember to leave the proxy line blank in your APN settings.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexicon:
I was in Jersey just over last weekend and speeds were fantastic at around 8mbps. Even in New York! Now I'm back in Kansas City, Missouri and speeds just suck. I mean average is always 2 or 3mbps throughout the city. It's ridiculous but ah well. Thankfully I'm almost never on YouTube to care. But 8 would be great!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nzq579:
T-mobile price difference?

What did you mean when you said T-Mobile was $15 cheaper? It is my understanding that Sim card plan costs $45 on Straight Talk does not matter what provider you choose. Please clarify. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
I think he was referring to the T-Mobile $30 plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Archpope:
Yes I was. I'm not sure why someone would choose $45 ST T-mobile over $30 direct T-mobile especially when, based on what I've heard about ST capping and throttling, you likely get more data from the cheaper plan.

And yes, I do wish I could partake of those faster T-mobile speeds, but for most of what I do, the 3Mbps I get from AT&T ST is adequate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
I believe that as long as you leave the proxy blank, they don't cap or throttle you. After using the ST T-Mobile for 2 weeks, I have consumed over 3.5GB of data before giving it to my brother. And he still has unthrottled internet which he uses to stream pandora and watch YouTube vids while he's at school. I'm pretty sure that sim card has gone over 5GB by now all without being one month yet.

However, if I do ever get throttled or capped, I'll be sure to let you guys know. I already hit 1.5GB on this AT&T ST sim. I couldn't stand the 100 minutes allowance on the $30 plan because I use my phone for business and the voip like talkatone and groove ip just wasn't cutting it for me. To each their own.

My Straight Talk/AT&T experiences

For what it's worth, I thought I'd share my experiences with data speeds on Straight Talk with an AT&T Sim card. All the speed tests I list below were from my house in Los Angeles, where I get a strong signal.

When I was on AT&T postpaid, I consistently got data speeds of 5-7 Mbps down, 1 Mbps up, sometimes almost 10 Mbps down. Mostly, that was on my old Samsung Infuse, but when I first got my G Nex, I tried a few speed tests and they were in that same ballpark.

Now, with Straight Talk, in the same locations, I almost always get data speeds of 2.5-3 Mbps down, 1 Mbps up. Occasionally, I get a speed test in the 5-7 Mbps range, but that usually happens only right after I flash a new ROM. Soon, it settles back to around 3 Mbps. Ping times are close to 200 ms, when they used to be around 100 ms when I had postpaid.

I haven't noticed a meaningful difference in real-world use of the phone. Maybe maps load a little slower, but even then it's hard to know for sure. Voice service seems exactly the same as before, with the same weak spots and dead zones. I just drove to Northern California and if the phone ever lost service, I didn't notice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
I think AT&T ST caps the download at 3mbps while T-Mobile ST leaves it uncapped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ipfreelytech:
I'm not so certain about 3mbit, but I definitely think there is some QOS being applied to keep the mvno traffic behind the ATT traffic.

I'm in Anchorage Alaska, which is both remote and a small market (only 700k people in the STATE). Tmobile is not up here so I cannot test on that network.

I have tested my Gnex with three different sims:

1. GCI (local company)

2. ATT (sim from an AirCard, so data only)

3. straight talk ATT

I saw the best speeds with the GCI sim, peak test was about 7mbps but coverage left much to be desired.

My laptops internal HSPA+ card frequently gets 6-7mbps on ATT, however for some reason that same sim in the same location never seems to go above 4.5 in my Gnex. This might be due to the fact that the aircard is a 2x2 configuration.

I have on a few occasions tested at just over 4mbps with my straight talk sim in my Gnex, average is about 2.5. Popping the ATT sim in and re-testing the scores are the same but with ATT having a little bit lower latency.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knucklesmckay:
I get between 3-7mbps down on ST Att between Western and Central NY. I haven't tried Tmobile yet as it lists my Tmo coverage area as Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jup007:
I did quite a lot of experimenting with ST (both operators), T-mobile and AT&T prepaid cards in San Jose, CA and around. Results are pretty consistent with what OP said.

AT&T prepaid and ST (AT&T)

- I didn't notice any difference between the two, the speeds are pretty similar and I hardly ever see anything over 2mbps downloads. Also ping often sucks.

- very good coverage in general, even in remote areas and surprisingly you can get at least voice even in Yosemite Valley

T-mobile ($30 plan) and ST (T-mobile)

- again, these two seem to be on par, with speed being usually around 6-7mbps downstream and over 2mbps upstream

- coverage often sucks if you go outside metropolitan areas and is worse even in them. And once you drop to the edge, AT&T is much faster. Don't even think about turning your phone on in Yosemite - it's good at most as hammer for tent poles.

AT&T vs. T-mobile Straight Talk

- on AT&T I believe redirects work (don't have SIM on me now) I had calls redirected to google voice mail. No such luck with T-mobile, it behaves as T-mobile prepaid, so redirect codes will just give you network error.

- there was some talk about ST roaming on other network. I am pretty sure T-mobile ST SIM will NOT roam on AT&T network. See above Yosemite test. I kind of hoped it would, because that way I could get best of the both worlds. Good speeds in metros and voice coverage only in rural areas. Doesn't work. As it is now, I will probably go back to AT&T based SIM because for me coverage is still more important then speed. I don't know if AT&T SIM will roam on T-mobile. I don't have any good spot to test it at.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
The T-Mobile plan is limited to 100 minutes where the ST plan is unlimited minutes—and some people don’t care for the voice workarounds for the 100-minute plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
Nice! You should see my dad's data usage. He never connects WiFi because he's a smartphone noob, and hit over 9GB in a month. He's always streaming videos and tethering his laptop everywhere he goes. They did throttle him around 6GB and I told him what to do. He couldn't be happier.

I have notice that speeds have been relatively faster now with AT&T ST. YouTube vids no longer buffer. I tethered to my laptop once and was downloading a huge file @ 625kB/s. I wonder how the T-Mobile ST peeps are doing in regards to speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lettcco:
well 25 day into ST ATT service I noticed today that my speed is ~100kbps. I have only used 2.65GB so far, so I am kinda surprised. But I called the tech support...took 2 resets and finally back up to full speed.

I just ported over from the $30 plan with T-Mobile to Straight Talk but let me give you a word of advice... do not buy the phones from Walmart! Their sims are locked! I made that mistake two days ago and now am going to go around today to third party small cell phone stores to look for a BYOP sim card. There IS a difference!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
I had no issues with buying a tmo phone st Walmart for the sim
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
The issue for me was that I attempted to bypass ordering a sim card online and went to Walmart to buy a ST phone and was told I could use the sim card from that phone. Wrong! Those sim cards are for ST phones only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Yeah, that method only works if you want the $30 Walmart TMo plan. Other carriers are YMMV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
That's the method I used to get on the $30 plan so I expected things to be that easy. Man, I'm getting good at these prepaid horror stories. At any rate, I ordered the T-Mobile ST sim today so the new test begins in 3 days or so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noneone:
OK, anyone been keeping a formal tally?

Seems like the T-mobile speeds are, IMO, consistently much faster than ATT for ST.

ROUGH estimate, tmo is 4 to 7 mbs down, ATT is 1 to 3.

So I'm concluding that TMO is 2 to 3 times faster than ATT ST for data.

Anyone got a different impression, or actually tallied up the posts yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Extremely dependent on your area among other factors, but T-Mobile is probably 2x as fast at best. AT&T just has about 3x as many customers as T-Mobile so their speeds are going to be slower.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
Its really dependent on your area. Speeds have gotten faster for me though. I been hitting over 5mbs now and no longer having YouTube HD buffer On my ATT ST. My area is Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside county in so cal though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DustyFarts:
Same here..wally world is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Goodfella80:
Speed comparison here in Georgia between T-Mo's Monthly 4G and Straight Talk (AT&T). Both done on my GNex.

T-Mo: using default APN settings

Straight Talk: using default APN setting with proxy left blank

T-Mobile:

Straight Talk (AT&T):

T-Mo is faster (7-9 Mbps) with solid coverage in metropolitan, downtown areas. Once you hit the woods, it's mostly on EDGE, but will switch to 3G every now and then for a bit. Signal takes a huge hit once you're indoors, sometimes I don't have no bars at all but can still make/receive calls although a little bit choppy.

Straight Talk is a bit slower, usually around 3-5 Mbps but is very consistent in staying in 3G/HSPA+. When indoors the signal is rock solid.... I get HSPA+ getting 2-3 bars pretty much all of the time. No problem making/receiving calls.

Hope this helps :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
Thanks for sharing. That's exactly the same situation I'm in with T-Mo and AT&T. But a good 3-5mbps is good enough for HD video streaming and all the other stuff. It's only those people that tether to torrent huge files that complain about the speed. 5mbps is even faster than the DSL at my neighbors house lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] herzzreh:
I was getting Sprint speeds with AT&T at my house using att.mvno, it wouldn't even connect using the regular apn.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
How many of you on AT&T ST had no data yesterday and had to call in to get them to reset it? They didn't give me any reason why I didn't have any data but they were happy to help me by resetting my account and in less than 5 minutes, I had data going again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I'm getting the same speeds on ST T-Mobile as I was with the $30 plan. I'm happy so far!

Edit: I got my sim card yesterday and I was up and running within 20 minutes. Data and calls worked before texts. Texts were still going to that damn flip phone, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobsbbq:
I just got back from a 2 weeks trip traveling to Baltimore, around DC, and then to the Outer banks of NC, down through South Carolina and Myrtle Beach, down to Jacksonville, FL and across to Fort Walton Beach FL, and back to Louisiana.

I was on my T-Mobile 30.00 100 min plan, and while I hit some really good data speeds in the DC area 7-9 Mb I really struggled through the country using GPS with no data coverage at all in parts of NC, and SC. Once I got back on I95 and on I10 I was ok.

I'm going to be making another trip to Baltimore again next month and I'm going to try my Straight Talk At&T card to see how well it fares. I have a feeling the At&T might be better in rural areas than the T-mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Yeah, TMo works great in cities but sucks in the country. ATT is adequate for both
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noneone:
If you know the areas you're going to be in, download some maps of the area before you go. Even with not data service, the GPS still works perfect, as long as you have some offline maps.

Did you port your number from T-Mobile Prepaid to Straight Talk? If so, how did it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr.Mischief:
I ported from T-Mobile to Straight Talk, then back to T-Mobile, and it went smoothly both times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Prepaid or postpaid T-Mobile?

If Prepaid, did you just port to Straight Talk (during registration) before the month was up on your T-Mo service? Wondering how I should do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frigidazzi:
I personally have never had over 2 mbs on att. Until today.. this is tethered to my nexus 7 while on a vacation at the coast in Oregon. Pretty sweet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
The way I handled mine was that I had about 7 days left in my billing cycle when I did the port. That might be cutting it a little close but that's just how it worked for me. After the initial port, my T-Mobile phone was still active for almost 2 days. They say your service with your current provider doesn't officially disconnect until you're fully ported to them. It only took me 2 of the 3 business days to get the ST sim card and they also didn't charge me shipping either. I did my order over the phone if that helps at all.

Also, I was at the beach yesterday with my girlfriend who's also got T-Mobile and she had no service where I had EDGE. I'm wondering if we are allowed to fall back on AT&T. (Which I know T-Mobile prepaid can't. Note: She's post paid.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr.Mischief:
I was on prepaid. I waited until my monthly plan ended and they switched me to a pay per minute plan. I ported to Straight Talk during the activation process.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I never even thought of doing that but it makes sense, lol. I always used up my 100 minutes somehow though and being around WiFi constantly became a burden. How are your speeds?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Thanks for the info.

Thanks for confirmation. This is what I figured. The T-Mobile SIM/plan stays "active" for 90 days after your last payment, so I figured that the number would still be considered active and available to port after the month was up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr.Mischief:
I'm back on T-Mobile, I don't like capped data.

My mom has an Atrix 2 with the AT&T Straight talk sim, and she gets 3-5 down 1 up.

My HTC One S is on the $30 T-Mobile. I get 6-12 down, 2 up.

You guys are so lucky, when I go to my mall all I get is EDGE, how is the signal for ST ATT indoors for you guys?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slyydrr:
I'm sure I won't be the first to tell you that it's a very situation/subjective thing based on a lot of things (location, building, etc), but I can tell you this...

When I switched from ATT to Straight Talk ATT, I noticed a hugely negative difference. The areas where before I used to just have a weak signal but could still hold a phone conversation turned into me constantly dropping out for the caller. In fact, I had a friend let me borrow his ATT SIM to test my theory and sure enough, call quality was fine w/ standard ATT and went right back to very poor with the Straight Talk ATT SIM.

Long story short, though the reception itself seemed similar, the call quality was not. I'm guessing that ATT does some sort of priority-based quality handling where non-prepaid customers get first dibs in congested areas but I could just be blowing smoke out of my ass too. What I DO know is that I personally noticed a huge quality drop and have subsequently switched as a result.

As always, your results may vary!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flavinator:
But does being inside severally effect data speeds, or is just me? I understand if its just me, but I wanted to be sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slyydrr:
For me, my data speeds were crap to begin with on Straight Talk ATT and crappier inside just due to signal degradation. I'm sure if you're in an area with a really strong signal to begin with, you wouldn't see much of a drop, but if your signal is weaker, seeing a signal drop shouldn't be surprising. In a mall (especially one with 2+ stories), I would almost certainly expect signal degradation, resulting in crappier data speeds.

OK thanks, I feel like that really clears it up for me

Wow I didn't even know its radio was capable of speeds that fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That's pretty much a fluke. The radio is a 21mbps HSPA+ radio, so its theoretical max speeds even directly next to a tower are maybe 14mbps at most. Similarly to people posting Verizon LTE speedtests over 50mbps (which VZW's LTE is capped at), the speeds are just being reported incorrectly.

Ah OK that's more in line with what I thought.
