[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crkdslider:
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I do have Sprint, and the area I'm currently living in doesn't have a full 4G going yet. I'll have to look into that. My E4GT isn't the greatest either I've noticed. I find myself using a lot more Wi-Fi.

I am simply gaining input. You're not making a decision for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Ok, well do note that the LTE variant of the Galaxy S3 is quite different hardware-wise from the GSM version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marko1103:
I bought this phone yesterday and I'm very happy with it but (there's always but)... I have european GSM version and the speker is way to low with it's sound level even when it's set to it's highest volume point.

build quality is OK, it has plastic covers so it doesn't gives strong impressions when in hand like HTC or Motorola devices in my opinion. Earpiece is also OK, my Motorola Defy had excellent earpiece compared to this.

Also Google changed how volumes are controled in ICS so you can't set separate volume for notifications like on Gingerbread or Froyo for an example.

For people who work in IT sector like me and have a bounch of e-mails or SMS alerts during the night that option was very useful. Luckily ther is application for that and it's called simply: Sound Profile.

I absolutely love the screen and it's size even tho on low brigthess white color is washed out, probably due to SAMOLED screen don't know exactly.

Battery is not lasting very long. I don't have it much but I think that after about 4 hours with screen on you'll have to put it on a charge.

There's my opinion if it can help to someone... After 2 years or so I think I'll buy Motorola again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sean-El:
I came from the SGS2 last month and this phone is the best phone I have owned, That epic touch was such a pain in the ass to work with that I am glad it's in a box sitting for it's next owner. I bricked my 1st one and hated the phone since.

[HTC One S] AntonJart:
Hey everyone. I'm about to get 3 phones and HTC one S is my top choice now.

I had MyTouch 4G that came with 2 different screens and eMMC.

Is there anything I shoulc know about T-Mobile HTC one S?

If there is a topic, please point me in the right way
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
You thought the screen issue was bad on that phone, the HOS has two different processors! You should be OK in the US, but make sure you look into how to tell the S3 vs S4 processor from the outside of the box.
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
Yea, make sure you get the S4 processor. It is much better. To find out for sure; S4 = 1.5ghz and S3 = 1.7ghz. Trust us, S4 is better. One con about this device, the user only has ~10gb usable storage for music/pictures. Otherwise, great device.

EDIT: Most if not all US devices ship with S4, but be careful any ways.
[HTC One S] AntonJart:
Thank you for your reply. I saw threads with s3/s4 processors and that T-Mo USA provides only s4 (as far as reports go). I was not able to find any other issues reported in large numbers.. Thanks again!

I don't think NFC works on my ROM

And if it dident I personally would not care because I never used NFC . NFC or 2x battery.... Id choose 2x

alright, hi, guise.

im new to the forums, but not new to rooting. ive sucessfully rooted many devices of my own, and others. however. ive run into a kind of unique problem. i didnt read the description of an ICS rom, and it ended up being a droid 3 rom. not a bionic rom. so, i wiped everything out, and i mean EVERYTHING, and rebooted for some stupid reason. now im stuck on a bootloop. all that pops up, is the m logo. i cant get into my clockwork mod, and my battery is dead. ive been trying to use a direct wire charging method for the battery, but to no avail. is there ANY WAY i can restore my phone?

I have never done it myself but the open wire seems to be what people do just be carefull not to over charge it.

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
Few options:

1. Find someone with a bionic that will let you charge your battery in their phone.

2. Go to verizon and see if they can charge your battery.

3. Buy an extra battery (they usually come with enough charge to restore your phone).

4. Buy an external battery charger.

5. Buy a motorola factory flash cable. This type of cable has a different pin out and has the +5v on pin 1 which bypasses the battery and powers the device directly even without a battery inserted at all. here is a link... http://shop.teamblackhat.info/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] racerex:
I've been with AT&T for years and have in general been quite happy with them. I noticed though that earlier this year AT&T started throttling my data if I was simultaneously on a phone call. This crippling of the data rate makes surfing the web basically impossible if I'm on the phone.

Before people say it's my Samsung GSIII or SIM card, I'd like to highlight that I first noticed this problem on my Sony Ericsson Arc S. One day I could browse the web at 5Mbps download and 3Mbps upload while making a phone call and then suddenly the next day my data was crippled to a crawl (while making calls). Nothing changed with regards to my phone or SIM. And then when I switched to the GSIII and a new SIM card I still have the problem. This is so frustrating and it pisses me off to no end. This link describes what I'm seeing...

http://thesmartphonechamp.com/att-secretly-throttling-their-smartphone-customers-video/

Has anyone else had this problem???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dLo GSR:
well i've found that it reverts from LTE/HSPA to UMTS the second i am in a phone call. but i still get aorund 1mbps (which is good in the part of my work building). UL is attrocious though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] racerex:
Your results are totally in line with the article I linked said. I copied and pasted here...

"We went from 4.5Mbps download and 1.1Mbps upload off-call, to 1.0Mbps download and .024 (24k)Mbps upload."

The insanely slow upload both you and the article mention will make surfing the web very painful. That's because most communication protocols apply some sort of packet transmission error correction scheme which typically requires data to be uploaded. So even if you have 100Mbps download if your upload is 0.024Mpbs then your browsing experience will be very slow.

So much for talk and surf on AT&T =/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Oridus:
My download is fine, it's in line for this area. Upload suffered.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Halmo:
Why do you need to use the internet when you are calling someone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ElBeaner:
It's because it swtiches you from LTE to HSPA+.

Still close to 3 mb/s down is MORE than enough to do some quick web browsing while on a call, or downloading an email.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] racerex:
I have a lot of conference calls I participate in where I am not talking the whole time. Being able to browse the web on a 4.8" display is great during those times.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] racerex:
What you said is partially true. The download speed does drop because it switches from LTE to HSDPA+. The upload speed though drops because not because of the switch you mentioned but rather because of the intentional throttling that AT&T has recently put in place.

Have you ever tried browsing the web with such slow upload speeds? I know it's counter intuitive to think that upload speeds are important while browsing the web but in fact the phone is constantly communicating back to the base station so if a severe bottleneck is created on the upload it won't matter how fast the theoretical download is. I've tried this many times and even simple browsing slows down to a crawl if you're on a phone call. Or even worse imagine how it will be if you are tethering the phone to your laptop and then have to hop on a conference call.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mysterioustko:
There have been many times where I've needed to grab some information from the web while on a call. I get calls from clients and while I'm talking to them, need to pull some information up regarding them. It's better for me to pull it up during the call than to tell them I'll call them back (just so I can pull up their info).

Yes it's definitely an issue. The download speed tends to stay around 1Mbps while the upload almost disappears completely. What makes it worse is the ping is so high that even that 1Mbps speed, is painfully slow to surf on.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] noahattic:
I just got my LTE plan enabled. I notice it today, too that phone switches from LTE to HSPA+.

Well, I haven't tested it if the upload speed is dropping that bad. I am on Rogers, I will report back to see if it's carriers restriction.

I just have a question that why LTE isn't compatible with voice call?? It has to downgrade to HSPA+? It's like totally switching to another network, which is really annoying since the phone always gives the no date connection message during the transition.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cavsoldier19d:
One possible explanation is battery drain concerns. Being on the phone greatly increases the discharge rate, as does actively downloading something at lte speeds. Put them together at the same time could be bad for the battery. Just my speculation.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] twayneo:
Its called circuit switch fallback att does not have an lte voice network so when you take a call it goes to hspa then 15 seconds after the call it will go back to lte
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] planoman:
This! Voice is not carried on the LTE network only data is. When making a phone call you are on HSPA. This has always been the case on the LTE network. Once you complete your phone call your phone (data) revert to LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffreii:
I get that the phone drops LTE for voice calls but even HSPA has usable upload speeds? 0.1Mbps is a joke.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LordGeek:
Definately have the same issue here in Cleveland, however, my download speeds are much higher than anyone here, but the upload sucks major !!!

Screenshots attached are before call and during call.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] racerex:
It doesn't really matter if the download is "fast" because the upload is so slow and the ping time is sooo long that it makes accessing the web basically impossible. AT&T has essentially crippled web access while you're making a call.

Note that this has nothing to do with the fact that AT&T switches your network from LTE to HSPA while on a call. Rather it has to do with AT&T intentionally crippling data rates to a practical standstill while you are on a call. And the reason they do this is to save bandwidth. So yea, the consumers just got shafted.

Also, just to clarify the reason the network switches from LTE to HSPA while on a call is because LTE currently does not support voice. There is an initiative called VoLTE which is Voice over LTE. This will roll out next year. Even then though, there's no guarantee that AT&T will 'un-cripple' the data rate issue we're talking about in this thread.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Srgsx:
Tested today at work in a two bar at best 3G area - Still had 1mbps downloads while on a call -
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] racerex:
Yea you'll get 1mbps download easy while on a call. The issue is that the upload and ping speeds are insanely slow if you're on a call. That totally ruins any web browsing or email experience. Just try running running a net speed test like 'Speed Test' or something and you'll see.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] V@no:
It must be the area you are in then, because when I'm on a call, I have no internet whatsoever...The icon changes to 4g (from LTE), but opening any webpages timeout after 5 minutes of trying.

Should I contact ATT regarding this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] racerex:
The reason it times out is that you have practically zero upload data rate:( Everyone on AT&T is experiencing this to varying degrees. I say varying because some people get timeouts and others at BEST get a very very slow web browsing experience. So it's not just you. This is a result of AT&T slashing the upload speed and ping times while you're on a call. This essentially renders the phone useless from a data connectivity standpoint while making calls.

I contacted AT&T about this and they basically admitted to the information I linked to in the first post. I'm not sure what we can do besides constantly nagging AT&T about this de-featuring of their service.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] V@no:
And I forgot, which phone advertised that it has multitasking, as in it can make phone calls and browse the web. Was it HTC One X or SGS3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] noahattic:
Well, I tested on Rogers today. I got the same result that download speed was about 3Mbps , upload speed got crippled at 0.08Mbps and the ping time was insanely 235ms.....

I am wondering if this is the phone problem because I don't think you will experience the same thing on an iPhone. It's too bad that I no longer can test it on my iPhone as I just sold it.

Could anyone test it on a different carrier or a different smart to see if this is a carrier restriction or a phone/firmware/lte radio problem?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] seonny:
I'm also on Rogers and experienced the exact same thing.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Merlyn_3D:
I'm not sure why people are so surprised by this. When you're in a voice call, a good portion of the bandwidth through that cellular radio is carrying your call. You don't just get more speed or bandwidth for free. The pipe's the same size, your full-duplex call is just taking a dedicated slice of it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 05GT:
They're upset because this wasn't the case before. You actually had useable data speeds while you were in a call in the past.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JB calhoun:
Got a question guys i came from the note..we changed r apn settings and under bearer put lte only can u not do this on the s3 i have not tried
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] racerex:
Previously I had a Sony Xperia Arc S. Before AT&T pulled this maneuver I had fine data speeds while on calls and could surf the web and send attachments very quickly. After this maneuver by AT&T my upload web browsing became impossible on the exact same phone. Now I have the Qualcomm based GSIII and I still have this problem. So it's definitely not phone/firmware/lte related. It's 100% AT&T related. By the way this change that AT&T implemented in their policy took effect earlier this year.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] racerex:
Exactly! This was not happening before. Earlier this year AT&T made an intentional change to the way in which they allocate bandwidth while you are on a call. The irony is that AT&T always rubbed their 'talk and surf' feature in Verizon's face. So much for that:rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mysterioustko:
I've already verified it isn't a device specific problem. It's an AT&T problem. At the link RacerX posted, one of the phones used was a Galaxy Nexus. On T-Mobile, the Galaxy Nexus performed fine on and off call, but with the AT&T sim card, during a call the data was cut down to 1Mbps. Also, iPhones have the same problem, which was also demonstrated at that link.

If that were the case, your speed during calls would be proportionate to your available bandwidth off calls. In other words, if you had a 12Mbps connection, you would have more data available during a call. Unfortunately, this is not the case. It doesn't matter if you have 6Mpbs or 12Mbps, you still get knocked down typically to 1Mpbs download and around 20kbps on the upload. It doesn't matter if off call I have 500kbps on the upload or 2Mbps, I will still be knocked down to 20kbps on the upload every time once I get on a call. This is definitely a something being done deliberately, as it was not always like this.

Exactly!

You're right. It's not phone or firmware related. We made sure of this by using a Galaxy Nexus. When using the GNex on T-Mobile everything was fine, then put in the AT&T sim card and got the same throttled results as the other phones we tested. This is definitely something being done on the network level.

I have reached out to AT&T several times now regarding this, and they will not give me a response. I have been considering filing an FCC complaint about this to force them to respond.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] palanku:
I'm also on AT&T in Puerto Rico and experienced the exact same thing with my iPhone 4S
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] racerex:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] noahattic:
wow, the thing is I am on Rogers in Canada. I cannot test it on other Big 2 or an iPhone (might do this later today) right now.

If it's not the phone, I guess Rogers made the similar intentional change since they use pretty much the same infrastructure/setup to AT&T. It would be very easy for them to implement this.

It's sad you guys have FCC to fall back on. We only have CRTC to cover the big 3's a55.!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarkH2O:
I have the same issue on my iPhone 4. I had switched briefly to a Galaxy Nexus and the problem was also there. Unlike the topic starter I noticed the change maybe over a year ago here in Atlanta. I know it wasn't like this before because I had tried both the Atrix and the Infuse when they came out. I ran many speed test on and off calls as I normally do with a new phone and there was no slow down. It's not the limitations of the network or voice using up all the bandwidth. It's clearly being managed.

It's so frustrating for me now that I considered switching to T-Mobile( tested to not have that issue).

While on an AT&T call don't even try to send an email with an attachment or a picture message. You'll be waiting forever.
