LTE vs XLTE Speed Comparison

So im in Tucson and yes they have turned on XLTE here my Zip is 85705 This ZIP is in a Highly Congested Area since it has both the University of Arizona, as well as Pima Community College, so the new speeds are very Noticeable, however i have not seen or Noticed a Special Data Icon when connected to an AWS (XLTE) Tower However when i go to settings and Network it does show LTE but the db is higher at around -105

LTE Speeds have an average of 17.13 Mbps Down and 9.16 Mbps Up Ping = 58ms

XLTE Speeds ive been averaging 34.68 Mbps Down and 23.02 Mbps Up Ping = 14ms

Speeds are the same but my signal is reporting lower at home. Not sure if its related but it definitely is lower than last week.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cold21blooded:
These are the speeds I'm pulling in Cleveland, Ohio 44135..When aws launched originally I was getting around 35 down and 10 up
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] x70xchallengerx:
I went to my grandparents house yesterday to cut the grass and tried a speedtest afterwards (they live out in the sticks) and I got 64 down and 22 up... Which would be so nice if I still had unlimited, or if I lived out there. I live in a Cleveland suburb and in my house I get like maximum 6 down and 2 up.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] GSUS969:
Off topic, but how do you get the iOS notification bar?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Turd Furguson:
Well I am only 15 miles from the city in Ohio that's getting it. The stupid part is that it's going in a really tiny city instead of going east towards the tri state area. It's hard to tell if I am going to get it as I am just a mile away from a 4g tower.

I'm getting it in Dayton, went from ~10-20 down to ~50-60 down

I thought I had read that we would need an OTA to see increased speed, but I have a fairly weak signal at my house and usually get 8-12 down/2-4 up. Then there's this...

An ota has to come out to enable xlte
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
I think I just experienced a bit of xlte.. I got 49 Mbs download at one point but I haven't been able to get it back. Since then I've been pulling 1 Mb. This is in Aurora IL which is considered to be the Chicago area but idk.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zenisnotchosen:
Dayton, OH here, no change in speeds for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] PsiPhiDan:
I'm in Plainfield, IL and haven't seen anything past like 20 mbps. I would think Chicago area would be getting amazing service? Not that 20 is bad, haha.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zenisnotchosen:
Also others have asked and according to articles there is no different 4G icon displayed when connected to XLTE. It was also stated an OTA would make the M8 compatible, though I don't know if this is true or not.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] joshw0000:

Yeah I've been getting a big boost for a bit now here in Columbus Ohio. I've gotten north of 70-80Mb/s.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Powell730:
Columbus Ohio as well (lots from Ohio in this thread). Pretty much the same speeds that I've been getting.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] neonsector:
I didn't get an OTA and my speeds went from 25-30 down 10 up to 45-50 down 25i up, here in Tucson AZ.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zenisnotchosen:
My speeds have been the same to worse, .6 down and 3.55 up just now. Same speeds on both tablet and M8. I think it's been this way a few days now though so it may not be related and just poor signal.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] del9800:
Where abouts? I haven't noticed any difference yet in my area foothill and haven.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] eikast:
Foothill and Vineyard, but I'm sure that AWS was deployed a few months ago in that area. I use to get 10-15 download and now as I posted much higher.

Ive noticed better service in Upland then Rancho. Your border line, who knows will have to wait and see I guess.

It's like 20M down at the other end of my neighborhood.. ??? :confused:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zenisnotchosen:
I've had very slow speeds, .6-5.5 down, for a bit now in south Dayton, OH. Normal speed was around 45-55 down a few weeks ago when I picked up my M8. It has also been very inconsistent, pausing and spiking up and down.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Pauls57:
Just spent 2 hours on the phone with Verizon tech support. Here in the buffalo area I'm down to less than 1 Mbs download speeds. They opened a trouble ticket and promised to get back to me next week. they really didn't seem to have any information about network upgrades or maintenance. Not really surprising, they never seem to inform the phone support people about anything. Hopefully it improves soon, mobile data is useless at the moment.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zenisnotchosen:
I was thinking of doing the same thing just to see if they had any answers. I figured I'd get that same result though, so I haven't been in any hurry to try.

Appears to be up and running here in Austin
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] n8mack33:
Lots of speculation here. The real question is how do we know any perceived increase is not in our heads? In my case it seems to be the same or slower. How do we confirm which band we're on?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Chadashcroft22:
Just remember because your speed test speeds go up does not mean you are on the new network. This will benefit phones that can't access band 4 due to all the "new" phones getting off of that saturated/overburdened network which means your speeds will go up as the network load goes down. I believe that is all we are seeing in this thread and like the first leak the m8 and s5 both need ota updates to enable the new band like older phones have already gotten.

All of the speed tests in this thread are well within band 13 bandwidth capabilities.

Just found out from a dm at verizon that many of these cities only have 1 tower active for xlte. So I found that tower here in town and this was the speed test i got. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/836917818

I have noticed an increase but like that other guy said it's probably due to the load lightening up on the LTE bands.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mchief298:
Eeyup. Extra bandwidth, not extra speeds. :p
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bakemcbride21:
Definitely no OTA needed to get XLTE...at the Prudential center in Newark NJ yesterday I got 88 down and 24 up...a month ago in Newark it was so bad you'd barely get 1 down.

No way to tell what band you're on from what I've researched (though the iPhone service menu does tell you)

And no way to "force" from what I can tell..But hopefully the phone is smart enough to look for band 4 first.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brandogg:
I'm in the initial city list...same terrible speeds here (around 8Mbps). Melbourne/Titusville FL, I was amazed to see us in the first list...but I don't think they really did the upgrade.

Is anyone seeing data (4g) disappear while on long phone calls and mobile data shows on but disconnected?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Hollywood67:
Huge increase in speed as measured on SpeedTest app. 55Mbps. My data usage has also increased. I called verizon about this new change ultimately costing me money. I lost my unlimited data plan a while back (by not reading enough here!)

Anyone else not on unlimited notice a difference in usage total?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JasonJoel:
?

A faster network doesn't make your data use go up...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JinxtPhoto:
Just using speedtest will hit you with around 100mb every time you complete a test. Faster speeds don't affect the amount of data you use at all unless you keep testing your speeds by downloading stuff to see how fast it is. If your usage went up, you were using more data.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Hollywood67:
I actually have been running a lot of speed tests because I can't believe how much faster it seems. Must be my usage has gone up:)

I was seeing it after xlte rolled out on my one max too until I got a radio update in the latest ota. Curious if other phones are affected too
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cornjo:
Not sure my friend but it happens occasionally for me I don't see a difference in functionality that I can tell. I am on latest radios, firmware running Scott's latest smooth as butter.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Chopstix9:
XLTE is Verizon doubling their bandwidth, not doubling their speeds. Bandwidth does not equal speed, rather capacity. What it does is open up the pipe, so to speak, creating less congestion. With less congestion, higher speeds may be a benefit in populous areas.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Chillerman:
Why is my speed always so crappy in Denver? It doubled with XLTE but I'm still below 20mbps. I'm in Wisconsin now and getting near 70! What's the deal?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nmil1484:
No noticeable difference

I am on PA Beta getting LTE. I use to get 20-30 mbps on my note 2 CM 11 but now I am only getting 10 max. So if anything I am slowed down. Maybe its just the rom but my pages load fast but speed test is worse.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Spondronis:
I just tested today with 2/4 bars. Got 68 down 25 up... Highest I've ever seen. I'm in an AWS market in north Atlanta.

66/19Mb/s here in Chicago. I've seen it go as high as 78Mb/s.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] davidmatt34:
My son was talking to Verizon Rep who told him that it would only affect the M8 or the S5 as they were the only two compatible at the time. Not sure how true that is.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bracketslash:
While it doesn't explicitly say that speeds will be doubled, it does say that speeds will be faster.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dark Jedi:
No it says faster data speeds at peak hours. Which is when most people sees their speeds take a dive during peak hours.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfobrien:
I think the iPhone 5s is compatible as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigjj44:
I believe it's a radio bandwidth compatibility issue. Possibly the next iOS device but I doubt the current one.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Current iOS Devices and most android devices June 2013 and newer should support it, some earlier probably as this has been in planning for a while now.

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

Network network congestion, Denver has a higher network population which causes your lower speeds.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] drumz0rz:
Using some rough mental math, I got about 204Kb/s (25.6KB/s) downloading the Speedtest.net app over LTE in NY (can't tell if I'm within range of an XLTE tower or not, although I would think not).

When it finally finished downloading the 13.25MB app, and I ran it it gave me a speed of 13Mb/s (1.6MB/s) down and 3.66Mb/s (468KB/s) up...

Funny how my real-world speed was 65 times slower than the speed test result...

Precisely what greater bandwidth provides...

I have a HTC M7 with ViperOne 6.2.0.

I tried to flash ElemetalX with TWRP(sure that I have correct versions) , but after reboot I get the systemUI error constantly with a lot of black screens.

I unbricked my phone once already with the ROM reflash method, but my phone is playing with me again. I can't even install a zip file.

Who can help me with these two problems before I flash another ROM again?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vapor:
before the ROM upgrade to Qtek's latest ROM (1.30 if I remembered correctly), I could use the down arrow key or down D-Pad key, when the Universal was in laptop mode, to select from To to the messages. This is when I am writing a text message. So I could just key in the number, press the down arrow key and it would go to the message and I can type the message from there.

Now after the ROM upgrade, when I press the down arrow key, it actually scrolls to the bottom of the message (which is empty) and the cursor is still at the To field.

Is there any way to solve this problem so that I can revert back to the down arow key moving from field to field?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] stanip:
You might want to try another rom like the latest dopod or the Ivan 3.2 roms. I had the same problem once but now it's ok with the other rom.

I had this same problem on my Hermes after disabling the 4 way navigation for IE.

Check

hi everyone i want to know how to free more ram in stock rom when i restart its almost 700mb ram usage and after normal use its goes to 1200mb but i want free memory like my nexus 4 which use ram 350mb to 700mb max please help me guys :mad:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentexcitebot:
My RAM usage is about that high, 700mb. But since the Z1 has about 1.6 gb of RAM, you shouldn't really worry. If it does get to the point where apps stop working or services become unresponsive, restart the phone or kill the app that's using the RAM. I believe when your RAM usage is about 1.5 GB it starts becoming a bit unresponsive.

Nexus uses less RAM because it only has stock apps. Sony has their own software running in the background along with some of Google's apps.

i have rooted device and how to know which app i should delete from background ?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXFlippyXx:
That doesn't makes sense. As long as your device isn't unresponsive or laggy you shouldn't bother about RAM-Usage. Android handles your available Memory quite well.

Try looking at it like this:

There isn't any use in having more and more RAM, if people on the other hand go and try to keep the RAM-usage low. As long as you don't have problems (lags or such) having free RAM is just eyecandy.

Additionally:

For every app killed, Android needs to load it from storage the next time, resulting in more battery drain than just letting it idle in memory

If that doesn't work try searching for UNDELETE on Google Play. Or come up with your own creative search keywords. You'll see a whole heap of recovery apps like thsi. These have varying effectiveness. 5 might not work, but the 6th one might work like a charm.

I've used apps like this before and they worked like 90% of the time for me. Meaning like 9 out of 10 photos would be found and be recoverable, but the 10th one had already been overwritten by other data. Nothing you can do about that situation.

In the mean time, don't take anymore pictures or download big files. Those could overwrite the spot on the sd card where the photos are located.
