I hear ya! I get 50mbps down and 15-20mbps up on my Verizon S3 in a brick building.... I live right by the tower though... :D I have no problem with 5mbps down as long as it is consistent but it usually is not... :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] emilianos:
A soft reset fixed my similar problem. With the phone on, take battery out and sim and then replace sim and battery back into phone. Worked for me..!

Last night was averaging 29mbps and highest was 31.59mbps in the burbs of Chicago. Yet when I am in Downtown Chicago which supposedly has 42mbps, I only get 5-8mbps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] WorldWide60:
I travel all over the east coast for work, and know T-Mobiles network inside and out. I travel to small cities as much as big cities, so being able to connect to a network is important. If I were new to T-Mobile, and the Note 2 was my first phone, I'd think T-mobiles network sucked. I have 2 lines, a Sensation I use to mainly to tether with (10gb plan), and my main line the Galaxy Note 2 (unlimited 4g plan). I keep getting a message saying, "not connected to network" in areas where I should definitely be on the edge network, or roaming. The Sensation will be connected on a network when the Note will give the not connected message. My overall speeds in 4g areas are better with the Note than the Sensation, but not in secluded areas.

When the Sensation first came out, it wasn't connecting to T-Mobiles network correctly, then they sent out an update that fixed the problems. My first couple of weeks with the Sensation were hell because of that. Now I'm dealing with it again with the Note 2. I'm hoping that they fixed the data issues in the first ota update, which I hope happens soon.

Here are some speeds I've gotten in the past few days...

Dothan Al - 2.03 mbps

Jacksonville FL suburbs - 17.69

Harrisburg PA - 5.45

Chattanooga TN - 2.31

us231 on FL/AL border - .88

Atlanta 14.81

Jacksonville and Charlotte has better speeds than Philly. I've yet to find a place with over 20mbps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lennie:
sounds like ur on a $50 dollar or cheaper prepaid plan. those only come with edge support (even tho it will say 4g). upgrade to a 60 or 70
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LvDisturbed1:
Las Vegas/Henderson NV area has great speeds. My highest was over 28Mbps and average is between 18-20.

Yeah i live in fort meyer and my coverage is pretty damn good...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
My area is rated good to excellent according to T-Mobile, but that obviously is subjective. The step back from LTE just isn't doable for me on a premium device. I'm glad I learned that while i had time to back out. I understand better what a huge sacrifice of tech it is on the Nexus phone now. But I envy those it doesn't impact obviously.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] j_shelton1988:
It could always be worse op. I'm currently with sprint but will be switching to tmo in a little while so I've been lurking the forums. I have the nexus, a 4g lte phone and I pay for unlimited data, yet I only average 200kbps on 3g, and Saint Louis will be lucky to see sprint lte by the end of 2013.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RobPiazzajr89:
Well the problem I'm having is basically the same but with my GS3 on T-Mobile. Its downloading according to the Speedtest app at .30 mb/s but if i go to www.mobilespeedtest.com and do the 7mb test it shows 9650 kb/s then on www.speedof.me it shows 40-55mb/s I have no idea what the heck is going on. I do knw that facebook/playstore apps and such download super slow. I had customer service try to help me they couldn't figure it out so they forwarded it to a tech. If anyone could help me it would be cool. I even updated to the Newest Modem. *shrugs* Maybe cause of "Sandy" their service is slow. Yano?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bradleyw801:
I have been lurking in here because I bought an S3 on T-mobile a couple of months ago, and I was loving the hell out of the speeds I get in Salt Lake City. Then for a few weeks, I noticed it was getting worse at work. It was still solid at home (around 10-12mb download), but in downtown it was more like 2-3mb down.

My brother decided it was time to jump from the Sprint ship, and he switched over to T-mo with a G-note2, but his speeds on his Note 2 were a joke. In every area they were worse than mine. I started looking and I found this thread for the S3 that helps you pick from the many available basebands (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880987). I updated my baseband, and my speed at work jumped from 2 or 3, to close to 18mb down! Problem is, he is still plugging along under 1mb, and we work in the same office.

I have to think that the modem/baseband/radio is a key to some of the problems here. Hopefully, an update soon will access some of the better speeds in each area. He is on UVALJ1 btw.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sher The Love:
Just got a note 2 and tmobile yesterday. Seems to get similar speeds to att lte here in chicago. I have noticed sporadic signal strength and speed changed in thr same spot.

Here at work, ive been getting between 4-12 down. It will randomly switch to edge and back to 4g once i start a speed test. Ill also get no bars, but have 4g and still get 5+ down. It will also randomly hit 3 bars with similar speeds. Any ideas? Im currently on UVALJ1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RobPiazzajr89:
What modem are you running on your S3 cause I can't seem to get my phone off of UMTS:3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
It's definitely not the phone... nor Samsung's rendition of Jellybean. See the speed tests below. Btw, while sitting there getting 11+mb down with Solavei, my friend was sitting right next to me on Verizon with a strong LTE signal, and was pulling 10.5mb down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kwiggington:
I have noticed the slow speeds as well even on a strong network area and even slows on wifi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] djdanska:
Yeah, LTE is a lot faster but it also costs a lot more than what im paying for and im on unlimited. That's the trade off. but for me, its ok.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] haha438:
Im noticing connection issue on 4G and wifi. On 4G, I am getting 0.05mbps down despite having good signal (3 bar or higher) in an area that has great t-mobile signal (according to their coverage website). As for wifi, sometimes despite saying wifi is connected, the phone continue to use 4G cellular network for both voice and data (shown by the lack of wifi calling and having cellular signal bars) and wifi speed is a lot lower for the majority of usage (2mbps down max on a wifi that is about 20 to 30 mbps down)

Is there something wrong with my note 2?

P.s. my note 2 says it is using HSDPA for 4G
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Afishl1:
This is simply not true, I'm on the monthly unlimited (5gb) 4g $30 a month prepaid plan and I have seen up to 19mb down at its best, however I have also seen .5mb down with full signal 4g, depends where you are. In LA it has been different for me all over.

I am also supposed to get good 4g signal at my house according to their map coverage, however I get none (even switched to wcdma via *#2263#). I called tmobile up and i got them to send out their services guys to my area to check on it after we went through their protocols to check/clear caches etc of my phone to make sure it was not the problem, hopefully they fix something, we'll report back.

I am completely stock and am that way specifically to get this resolved so they have no excuses. Hopefully if it will get resolved, I will then feel comfortable rooting.

Where I used to get 1-2 bars with my g2x I get 0 with the note. Funny considering the size of the phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBuckets:
I have only had the phone for a week and admittedly have spent some time in poor reception areas. Regardless, there have been times when I am on each speed of intent access including wifi and the display shows inbound and outbound traffic. However, I get unconnected system messages. A reset of the phone usually fixes it. This had been happening more than once per day since I bought the phone. Any ideas or suggestions? Phone is Stock Rom, no apps (that I know of) which should be interfering. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] oopewan:
I'm having major issues with this device. I compare side by side my s2 and my note 2 and get up to 15 mbs on s2 and stuck in edge on the note. It gets 4g sometimes but infrequently

I have noticed same issue with wifi not being used even when on and showing as connected. Though in my case it was using edge instead which is practically useless. More recent I can't even connect. Tell's me "Authentication error occurred." Very frustrating.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Afishl1:
Hey guys, just discovered something, i was running a speed test on 4g and it was pretty slow, like 2-3mbs down and realized that my *#2263# was on Automatic.

I then decided to switch it to WCDMA All and when i ran the speed test again and it jumped up to 8mbs.

Maybe everyone that is complaining just need to switch it and retest.

EDGE

I've had my Note 2 since released. I was always on 4G. Great speeds. Replaced the phone once because of issues with the S-Pen.

I was still on high speed 4G. But now, for the past week I've been on EDGE. Really slow. I've talked to T-Mobile and Samsung numerous times. No fix. I've restarted, pulled the battery, check the network settings, and even did a factory reset. No Fix. All T-Mobile told me was they would set up a ticket to check the area I'm in.

I'm in Los Angeles, Ca. The coverage is supposedly "excellent".

I sometimes see 4G. When I do I use it, it then drops to EDGE, and then no connection.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Afishl1:
No problem, but be aware if you choose WCDMA, while it's on that setting, you won't get Edge, so if you're not getting 4g (and maybe 3g, not sure about that) you won't have any service.

---------- Post added at 06:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------

If you're not mobile, you should try forcing WCDMA as mentioned above, might give you better speeds.

I'm also in LA and also setup a service ticket to check my area, i have to call them up and see what the result is (unfortunately nothing has changed for me at my house and is long post when they were supposed to fix/check it)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] egorre:
that's fine. metro-Jacksonville is pretty much blanketed with 1700 towers.

I'm on WCDMA only setting since galaxy s2 :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hotadef:
i want a note 2 but i sure dont want slow data connections. i watched a youtube video where they checked wifi speeds the note 2 pulled 30mb while a iphone 5 pulled 42mb consistently maybe there is something wrong with current radio/modem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] diego1985:
Is there something besides custom roms that will show us when we are not using 4g since Tmobile make it seems as though we connected all the time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] distortedloop:
You're opening up the whole debate about what is 4G and what is not...

Anyways, without being on a custom Rom you can go to the phone's settings menu, select About, then Status...scroll down to "mobile network type". That will tell you which flavor of data you're being served (UMTS, HSPA:11, HSPA:15, etc.). You can use Google to learn the differences.

So I clicked mount and said damaged SD card, might have to format. Is there a way to get everything g back with out formatting? Luckily I have everything backed up on my comp. But if i didn't that would suck, really bad. Just wanna no why this happened and if possible to get my files back without formatting and transferring from comp

Hi i have been given a samsung galaxy note 2 but it is a demo from samsung. It has everything in it but it doesnt have an imei and doesnt register to a network. It has a sim slot but it doesnt pick up network. If i type *#06# it says imei null. Also another thing i noticed is that it has no baseband version. It keeps loading retail mode from samsung all the time however i have managed to get rid of it. Is there a way to flash it with different firmware to get sorted. I am not an expert so if someone can guide me step by step that will be great.

Its not fishy it has been given to me by samsung for demo in mobile stores in uk. It does connect to wifi as someone mentioned its just it dont pick sim cards probably because samsung blocked it. As i got a sim with unlimited data i want to use it and get rid of my dongle and laptop.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrvanx:
Since samsung supplied it (in your words) for demo in mobile stores in uk I doubt they would be particularly pleased with it being supplied with an imei (which is TOTALLY dodgy to me) for personal use when it was never intended for that!

I have Xperia Active with JellyVanilla 2 rev0 [Unlocked BL] installed

Yesterday I partitioned a second partition on my sd card so as I can link apps to sd, created 1027 MB ex2 primary partitoin!

Then, It was mounted, I linked the apps and everything was just GREAT!!!

Then, I slept for about 12 hours and when i'm awake i found the apps I linked yesterday are not shown.

Link2sd couldn't mount the partion, although it could see it!!

It gives me this message:

Minitool partition wizard can not see the partition "although I used it yesterday to create it!!"

And now, the windows doesn't read the sd card at all!!

Please, any ideas???

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
If Windows can not read the SD card, then the card is probably hosed. Reboot your computer, try a different card reader / USB port. If you still can't read it, you'll have to reformat the card. Use this program to reformat the SD card (obviously, all data will be lost).
[General Questions and Answers] p337:
The message you have means that your device doesn't support 2nd partition in ext2 so you have to create a 2nd partition in FAT32, or eventually in ext3 or ext4. But what do you mean by "the windows doesn't read the sd card at all"?
[General Questions and Answers] Citizen T-FA:
Thanks for your reply

But, when I used the usb connection between the device and my laptop, it read the sd card BUT not the ext2 partition

I think the problem not making windows reading the sd card is about the adapter

It supported it yesterday

I linked some games to sd card ext2 and I played them for a long time

When I was awake I didn't find the shortcuts nor the apps i linked and used after linking

There's something weired!
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Ah, that's different! Windows does not have built-in support for ext-formatted partitions! You will not be able to see anything on the ext partition from your computer, either directly or through the phone (when SD card is mounted). You will only be able to see what's on the card from within your phone, or by putting the SD card in a linux or mac computer.
[General Questions and Answers] Citizen T-FA:
so?

Last step I did is that I formatted the sd card by the software you gave me a link to.

BUT, it only formated 13.7 GB!!!! My SD is 16GB, so the real capacity is 14.8!

The difference is the 1GB ext2 partition I created yesterday!

How could I recover it?

Thanks so much by the way for your help :)
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Ok, you need to delete the ext2 partition. Best just delete all partitions, and create a new, primary partition formatted as FAT32.
[General Questions and Answers] Citizen T-FA:
man, how could i do that? I told you, i can't find this partition at all :S
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Minitool can't delete all partitions?
[General Questions and Answers] Citizen T-FA:
No it can't see excep 13.7GB from the 14.8GB sd card

[General Questions and Answers] Citizen T-FA:
didn't see the partition too :S

Dunno what to do!

nothing reads the ext partition

and in my country it's easier to find a coin in the ocean than to find a linux machine
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
That's not so hard, it's just big. Wubi let's you kind of dual-boot Windows and Ubuntu, but you can uninstall it any time through Control Panel.

In any case, the ext partition is still there, and your phone should still be able to see it, if it's mounted properly.
[General Questions and Answers] Citizen T-FA:
i'll try this :)

how could i start over?

now i formatted my phone

how can i find the ext partition and use it?
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
What do you mean you formatted your phone? You reflashed the ROM?

When you partition the SD card, those partitions will stay there until you remove/change them. In order to access an ext partition on your SD card, it just has to be mounted. All of those *2sd scripts will do that. Link2SD has a menu option which says recreate mount scripts.
[General Questions and Answers] Citizen T-FA:
Oh sorry, I meant that I formatted my card

the menu option in Link2SD doesn't read any ext2 partitions
[General Questions and Answers] Citizen T-FA:
It gives me this message

Is it too complicated?
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
That means that your phone cannot read the 2nd partition on the SD card (but you already knew that). Either the partition needs to be reformatted, the partition needs to be removed & recreated, the whole SD card is going bad, or you're using a ROM which does not support ext-formatted partitions (i.e., stock ROMs).
[General Questions and Answers] Citizen T-FA:
the rom supports it, it's not a stock rom, coz as i said before i'm using JellyVanilla JB 4.1.1

no stock JB for xperia phones yet!

also, it already supported the partition and used it yesterday!

So I think i'll try to open the sd using WUBI when it finishes downloading and installing then i'll tell you the results :)

Thanks anyways :)
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
You'll have some fun learning how to use stuff in linux. When you get it up and running, you'll want to use gparted to examine the SD card.
