[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
I disagree. When it shows 1 Mbps LTE, downloading a huge app from the Play Store crawls along. For me, it's not the Speed test app.

Remember this thread is about LTE though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sluflyer06:
I thinks its fair and logical based on mountains of evidence across the forums that there isn't an issue with LTE on this device with AT&T. If your seeing slow speeds its just the network being slow or the location your speedtest app is connected to is slow. Lots and lots of people are on this phone with AT&T without issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDBearCT:
I'll admit that my results with SpeedTest are inconsistent, and mostly based on what server is used for testing. When I am offered a local server (Hartford, Boston or NYC), I get relatively high scores on both AT&T and T-Mobile. When I am offered servers a long distance away (say, Overland Park KS), my scores are much lower... even from the same tower at the same time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] promiseofcake:
I feel like my LTE is much slower than on my S4 in the same areas. Also gave ATT my SIM and IMEI.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotleadsingerguy:
It could also just be a messed up tower. That's not, necessarily, indicative of overall LTE speed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infekxion:
I had slow or no connection on the pre programmed settings, I changed the APN from phone to pta and that fixed my issue.

at home, my N5 LTE is just a little bit faster DL than HSPA+. At work, it flies. Might be the equipment in your neck of the woods?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm getting the same thing as OP. My H+ speeds are double what my LTE speeds are. Hopefully someone can figure this out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsrrr:
Did you guys have an LTE phone before? What speeds were you getting with the old LTE phone?

I have the same problem with slow AT&T LTE speeds. When I had a non-LTE phone, I had decent speeds (I believe it was about 10-12 Mbps) but after upgrading to a newer LTE capable phone, I was getting extremely slow speeds (around 1 to 1.5 Mbps). At first I thought I received a defective phone so I exchanged it but still had the same, slow speeds.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Excuse my ignorance, but is it possible to select the preferred network the Nexus 5 is using? Can it be set to just use the HSPA+ network and disable LTE, if it is in fact faster in a given area?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I didn't have an LTE phone before. It was a Nexus 4.

Settings>More...>Mobile networks>Network Mode

Edit: For some reason 3G is faster than LTE where I'm at. I just talked to my brother who ran a couple speed tests a week ago on his iphone 5 with AT&T and his LTE speeds were just as slow as mine are now. So I guess it's my area, IDK.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
This tip did not change anything for me.

I believe the issue is my local tower, as another area was much faster.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relaxable:
Hmmm - where are these mountains of evidence? Perhaps you could post some links to speedtest results with the Nexus 5?

What I've seen so far is far more evidence of something wrong (slow speeds on LTE) than it working as it should.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsrrr:
Same for my area(s). It's the worse for me in downtown Los Angeles. It's usually <1Mbps. Good thing I am usually on wifi when I'm in those areas.

I've contacted AT&T in the past about this issue and they kept telling me it was due to them working on the towers near by. After over a year, it has not been fixed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] promiseofcake:
I also have that issue Downtown but my Skyrocket didn't just flatly stall out like it is doing now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relaxable:
Defective LTE - Nexus 5

So I went to the AT&T store at 1067 Kapiolani in Honolulu with my Nexus 5.

Used a demo phone (a Samsung) which showed LTE in notification bar and ran Speedtest - 14.87mbps down, 9.87mbps up.

Ran the Speedtest on my Nexus 5 - 4.78mbpsdown, 5.78mbps up. So at same time, same place, and to the same Speedtest server site, the Nexus 5 is 3x slower.

I have tried all over town now and my conclusion is LTE just plain sucks on my phone.

I think my phone is defective. Hope it's not widespread issue, but I fear it might be.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
Did you compare the APN settings on both phones?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blnwp:
Nexus 5 LTE with AT&T

I've the same problem with AT&T.

Location : New York City Midtown

APN : ATT phone

I didn't call AT&T for LTE activation as my N5 picked up LTE right away as SIM was from my Lumia 920 which had LTE.

Nexus 5 LTE : Browsing is painfully slow and downright doesn't work some times. Speedtest gets ~1Mbps.

Nexus 5 HSPA+ : Browsing fast. Speedtest with same server gets ~6Mpbs.

Lumia 920 LTE tried after 2 minutes with same SIM and sitting right next to Nexus 5: Browsing lightning fast. Speedtest with same server gets ~16Mbps.

Signal strength indicator similar in both phones. Also, checked same thing at a different place which is 30 miles away from NYC with same exact results as above.

Conclusion : Something is terribly wrong with Nexus 5 AT&T LTE.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] promiseofcake:
Made sure that my IMEI and SIM were properly provisioned with the AT&T rep today. Still not working as it should. Their answer was "Since it's not an AT&T phone it will be slower," I laughed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
Isn't it possible that the LTE tower in specific areas is just not up to demand as it's new, whereas the 3G transmitter is better established with more bandwidth?

I tried a few miles away and my speeds shot up on LTE.

Conclusion: Complain to ATT executive office about that particular LTE tower.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dispatch:
I mean either they're purposefully lying to you or that ignorant; in either case they deserve a cockpunch.

PS: I'm really happy with this radio compared to the N4 radios. Here in the Twin Cities on TMO LTE I'm getting ~20Mbps down and about the same up, and consistently better coverage (and less 'drops') than with the N4 radios. Was getting the same bandwidth on the N4 but a bit more drops and flickers between LTE and HSPA (edit: and ~40ms latency which is sexy)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blnwp:
Ok. If tower is overloaded, how the phone (Lumia 920) right next to it with same SIM and APN works better(faster) than Nexus 5? I tried 30 miles away with same results.

Conclusion: Nexus 5 has problem with AT&T LTE. The problem is not the tower and the onus is on the phone manufacturer to make it fully compatible with the network they advertised to be compatible. Not the other way. (Unless it's proven that AT&T is sinister and blocking Nexus 5 in particular).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
I would try that side by side test once more as it could've been a fluke.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
My LTE slowness is definitely just my area. I went to another town last night and got 55mbps down. Then I went to another town and only got ~1.5Mbps again.

Edit: On another note. Even though Speedtest showed LTE being slower than H+. My real world performance says otherwise. I switched back and forth from 3G to LTE and tried loading the same websites. LTE was definitely faster than H+, even though Speedtest said otherwise.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Monkey:
In all honesty I didn't take the time to read the 4 pages of posts. Just saw the title and thought I would chime in. When I first switched from my N4 to the N5 on AT&T I had the same problem. Reached out to our business account rep and had to call in to 1-866-895-1099 to accept the new terms and conditions. Then switched my IMEI over and now my LTE speeds are working.

Just a heads up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laur3n.newm4n:
I had never been with AT&T service before, so the SIM in my N5 is my first AT&T SIM. I'm using their GoPhone service. Sitting at my desk at work, my speed test on LTE was 32mbps. I would test HSPA+ if I knew how to switch to that network <.< (do I just change my mobile network from 4G to 3G?)

I'm having the same issue as the op. I have an iPhone 5 for work that is also on att and its getting 40 down 15 up compared to 0.56 down and 1.25 up and I ran them at the exact same time multiple times. I came from a galaxy s4.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GSLEON3:
You can say whatever you want is "fair to say", but the fact is that I'm getting 57Mbps down on AT&T LTE with the HTC One, 53Mbps down with the HTC One X, 48Mbps down with the Galaxy Note 2, 51Mbps down with the Galaxy S3 & 32Mbps down with the HTC Vivid.

Those are all AT&T LTE devices being tested simultaneously, two at a time, three tests back to back to the same server averaged, in a good LTE coverage area.

With the Nexus 5, I am getting am average of 9Mbps down, with a high speed of 13Mbps & an average of 1.8Mbps down, with a high of 4.6. Even the upload speed is roughly a quarter to a third of the other devices.

I have also tested two Nexus 5's, mine (32Gb black) & the missus (16Gb white). I don't see how that could be anything other than an issue with the N5's that I purchased.

It also is not just the speedtest app. It is downloads of anything, from zip files to apk's. From website downloads to app downloads in the Play Store. Other than the ****ty speeds, which I have been experiencing from day one at both home (LTE) & at work, 45 miles south (also LTE), my Nexus 5's are great. No yellow screen, good speakers, vibration is solid, just crappy speed. Even the latency (ping) is on average 25% to 35% higher. Buffering of videos in Netflix also occurs more frequently on my N5 than any of the above mentioned devices.

I just rebooted and tried again and got 38 with the nexus haha. Maybe that's the issue?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blnwp:
Works now!!

I'm the one among who mentioned here before that LTE speed is very slow in my Nexus 5 and not working as same as my Lumia 920.

I've an update.

I talked to AT&T and they asked for my IMEI and SIM number and asked me to reboot the phone after they added it in their system. LTE worked lot better after and averages around 12Mbps (previously ~1Mbps) in Midtown NYC which is fairly good.

It sucks that we've to talk to AT&T every time we get a new phone but anyway it works and happy that device is not the problem like I assumed before.

Thanks everyone!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joebobjoe:
I feel like component manufacturers really need to make their modem firmware open source. Always people have network issues and it is up to witchcraft to determine what the hell is wrong, if anything.

The FCC published a speed test app and will produce a map of results early next year. Until that is released and I can confirm speeds in my area, I will not complain about a problem with the LTE in my Nexus 5.

I did not have an LTE phone before this Nexus, so I have no reference to make assumptions about faults.

I am going to Orlando soon. And I'll post speed test results from a known good area.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
Anyone else seen a difference after talking to ATT?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joebobjoe:
That could be because the latency on LTE is lower, which can be a more impact metric when perceiving web browsing speed.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

When I activated my original Nexus 5, I had to talk to AT&T. Still speed issues.

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

It is feasible that AT&T's LTE is slower than HSPA+ in some areas, because they may be more concerned with extending "LTE coverage" than provided appropriate service.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djeddieone:
I'm in the Los Angeles area and I have experienced good speeds on LTE up to 23 down and 12 up but one thing I have noticed is my LTE drops a lot in to H. I'm coming from Verizon which always stayed on LTE locked in so I guess I was spoiled. I left verizon because I got sick of them hating on Nexus Phones but man right now I'm hating these LTE drops on AT&T. But I know for a fact that it's a phone problem because when the phones goes from LTE to H I can manually restore the LTE but I can't get it to stay locked. I called them and they're response was it's just the phone switching from tower to tower.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamjunk:
I too am seeing the same problems as others with at&t and lte. I am have had one test get me speeds I would expect from lte, but all the others were disappointing. On my list of test the very last test with 11.68 was done on hsdpa+. I decided to try disabling lte after I was unable to stream music from songza with out it pausing to buffer and did a speedtest to see if it was faster with lte disabled. My brother has a lg g2 and he did a test and received a speed of 25 megs also on at&t, so I agree it seems to be something about the phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallasm:
Same story on my N5 using Straight Talk. Called customer service yesterday and they were zero help. They claimed that so long as the phone transmits data over LTE, they are doing their job. Ridiculous. And I assume at&t won't be interested in helping me because I'm not directly subscribing to their service.

Ok so not trying to do anything unethical here. I want Magic 2014 for my phone, Wotc says its for tablet only. I got the app and game running by sideloading it (the free version) to unlock content I have to pay. I am wondering if doing so would still work given that i'm using an "unsupported" device. Ps the game runs great and is oh so playable on the S3's larger screen.

Basically, when I click the purchase full version link it bring up the usual in app purchase screen. Just scared to try it lol. If it was 99 cents or something I'd just say screw it and try it, but at 10 bucks...eh I'd rather ask to be sure.

[General Questions and Answers] ishaang:
If the app works fine and the in app purchases only unlocks content and doesn't install anything new I would not be concerned if the app is not officially supported. I would be more doubtful if a new 'pro version' app altogether was being installed.

However, you will of course have no recourse if the in app purchase doesn't work for any reason...

Hey there,

This has probably been answered before. so a simple redirect would be ok.

I love the stock look of the N7000 (menu buttons and locker) but all of the 4,3 roms have the Nexus menu buttons and app locker suck. I find those horrible to use.

First question... what would it be called (kinda nooby when it comes to launchers and such).... Are they called AOSP or AOKP or something.. or is it completely different.

Are there any roms which look like the stock rom.. but with enhanced features with the new 4.3 features?

Thanks in advance.
