sweet thank you.

The vista wmp skin does not work right, the buttons get squeezed together and the crossbow one won't even show up. Odd.

I tried the dial pad skin and that one sort works. I get the call log skin but no dial pad skin. I have the default skin that came with the phone so that can not be it. Unless this skin does not support Treo running WM5 with AKU 2.

Hi all,

WiFi test here same spot and both are testing at different times. The note 3 *always* beats out the Note 4. SM910W8 version here (Qualcomm)

Note 4 - 13.08 Mbps vs Note 3 - 16.97 Mbps
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pedmond:
I get download speeds of about 50Mbps...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ozaghloul:
I get 30+ on LTE and 70 on WiFi.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @Class:
Yeah I can get faster speeds standing next to the router, but its not as speedy when far away.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Zanr Zij:
I compared side by side: Note 4 always load faster than Note 3 and Z3 with Youtube and Chrome.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jonstatt:
Are you trying it with an Asus router? In my own tests, the Note 4 seems to perform worse with Asus routers like the RT-AC68U, but faster with the Netgear! I think the phone needs some driver optimisations
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
the note 4 and galaxy tab series have an amazing wifi radio. they both pull like 70mbps in the furthest room in my house on my Asus dark Knight router. whereas my g2 only pulled 25mbps.. same with my nexus 7. this thing rocks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Trinatek:
Unfortunately, I experience a **** ton of Wifi drops - so yeah, my wifi performance has been less than satisfactory on this phone. Probably one of the only gripes I've had about it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] avsquare:
Echoing this as well. Connection is unreliable even when near router. Maybe I should try to connect on 2.4Ghz and try again (all the while on 5Ghz and it's crap). My Cat 6 LTE speed (typically betweek 80-110Mbps) trash what I could get on WiFi.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ciloteille:
My note 4 is less stable and has less range than my LG g2. But here are the results. On my moca 1.1 connection with 300' of coax between moca boxes and my dir-825 wireless router.

Note 4

73.58mb down

22.51mb up

78.12mb down

20.33mb up
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ars_92:
Have been using 5g on my note 4 since release with an ac68u on the Merlin fork firmware by John. Never experienced any drops or low speed even when im on the second floor with the door closed in my room,when the router is down stairs.

The only thing in unhappy about is that using ES file explorer,transferring a file to and from my NAS to the phone is limited to about 10.5MBps. Much better than the note 3 of course but was expecting at least 30MBps or so....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Andrewtst:
I compare with iPhone 6 Plus, it load faster than it. It is loaded pretty fast to me. By the way mine is Exynos edition. No worried here. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MattLangley:
Just got my Note 4 yesterday and just ran a test on my wi-fi right now... 125 mbs down and 12 mbs up. Basically identical to my desktop, can't complain at all.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @Class:
For everyone posting speed tests please specify what technology your the signal was on at the time. Please do not post stupid answers like 'Get a new router' or 'Upgrade your ISP' these people are idiots so don't be one. Every router I try with the results are the same. Note 4 about 1/3rd the speed of the Note 3 being tested. FYI the upload is slow just like the download.

Here with 802.11 G/N 2.4 Ghz, the speed is complete crap compared to the Note 3. Even went as far as re-flashing the whole phone and no luck. Added a separate SSID as Fast to my router on 5 Ghz n 40 Mhz and connected to it. Didn't make a difference.

There are lots of reports online and I'm sure they're going to be more:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Alex Atkin UK:
Its worth noting that the speedtest.net app has never NEVER gotten close to my broadband speed on any Android handset I have owned so far, even though WiFi throughput when tested by iperf is usually much greater than my broadband speed.

Also, my Note 4 had a day one update waiting that once I applied has messed up my WiFi performance. Before the update I noticed Google Play installing apps at my full average broadband speed of 66Mbit, after the update its all over the place. Its bad, but it does at least suggest this is a software problem so fixable.

Interestingly, before the update when connected at 866Mbit 802.11ac, I got EXACTLY the same throughput (260Mbit) as the Note 3 did connected at 433Mbit.

On the other hand WiFi reliability seems to be vastly superior to the Note 2 or 3. When I do anything with the LIFX app its instant, there was always a little delay on the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dannstarr:
Sweet Jesus!! I didn't even know internet speeds like that existed!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
In parts of the world OTHER THAN North America, those speeds are on the low end of normal!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Tonio78370:
You might want to say that this is normal in Asia. I live in Europe and besides 4G that is just deploying, average ADSL stays below 15 MB download. I'm quite lucky and have 20 MB through ADSL and up to 55~60 with 4G [emoji41]

6 of the top 10 countries are in Europe: http://www.netindex.com/download/allcountries/

When I see Canada and the US not even in the top 25, it pisses me off, because we have some of the largest tech giants in the world, but our ISP's and mobile phone providers are ripping us off - maybe Google Fiber will come to the rescue.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Tonio78370:
Thanks for the lesson :highfive:, this really shows (very high) figures for Europe I didn't suspect. The Northern EU countries I understand as these are all highly served by cable/fiber.

For France, where I live, it's a total opposite situation and many people (over 90%) connect through ADSL with speeds of 10-30 MB/s for almost 60% of them.

I guess the figures from OOKLA are a mix of mobile and fixed connections and as everybody wants to see how fast their "new" mobile 4G connection is (often 50+ MB), this pushes the results up artificially.

I understand your frustration but if you really want to be disappointed look at the average value of South-Korea, almost 92 MB/s... mad!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] audiobookman:
i had awful speeds on my note 2 then my note 4 until i disabled the smart wifi, the phone sat there saying checking connection then when it connected it would be awful connection speed.

My router is a netgear nighthawk.

Without the smart wifi it flys. maybe your having the same or similar issue?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
Their FAQ's determine "household" speeds based on single IP's, so your home internet would likely be different from your mobile IP - they do have mobile stats there, and they are much lower, on average, vs. broadband.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @Class:
I have tried that and:

- With flight mode on, but also only wifi on

- With automatic connection switching on / off while connected to HSPA / LTE

- BT on / off

I am experiencing wifi issues too. The problem seemed to be isolated to download speeds.

All tests were all run one after another and not concurrently (Please refer to attached).

The Note 4 has never exceeded 8 Mbps download speeds in all my tests.

All phones are connected to the 5ghz band on the ASUS RT-AC68U and tested on the same server.

Perhaps someone can chime in on this?

Information

300Mbps Internet Fiber Plan

Wireless: 5ghz band Wireless AC
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Alex Atkin UK:
Mine seems okay at the moment. Its still only hitting around half my REAL download capability (and odd as iperf says WiFi can do 260Mbit down) but its fine for what you need a phone for.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @Class:
Like I said we need details to see what devices, firmwares, wifi setups are effected. Posting a speed test really does help though so thank you :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MattLangley:
Hmm, so I'm seeing identical speeds on my note 4 as on my desktop and laptop with my Asus RT-AC66U router, 5ghz band as well (125 mbps down and 15 mbps up). Hate to suggest it but maybe a bad wifi card in your phone?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Alex Atkin UK:
Apologies:

Connected to Archer C7 running OpenWRT on broadband that is capable of an average speed of 66Mbit down, 18Mbit up but sometimes gets up to 73Mbit down.

What is puzzling is iperf is getting 260Mbit when uploading to my phone from my wired PC, yet the Note 3 did exactly the same when connected to the Archer C7. Basically, MIMO is doing absolutely nothing to improve the speed on the Note 4 even though its showing twice the link rate of the Note 3. :confused:

I wonder if this is a bug in OpenWRT as when I tried using a USB dongle on my laptop I had problems even getting as fast as the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @Class:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] grubbies:
I have tried it with 2 different Note 4, 1 rooted and the other non-rooted. Both display the same slow wifi download speeds. So we can eliminate rooting as the cause. Have also did a wifi site survey using wifi analyzer and using different channels from all my neighbours' (I live in an apartment).

I certainly hope the problem is firmware, have used the following

I've got a note 4 N910G. when I am in a place with Wifi and I have wifi on, it doesn't show it's connected UNTIL i open up wifi connection and then it starts to connect. Is this a bug that anyone face? I've noticed this happens only after I updated to the latest firmware actually.

Please let me know if this should be in another thread. Thanks.

This is what I'm saying. If it was 1-5% off okay big deal. But in some cases it 75% slower!!!!

I'm shocked by the radios of this phone.

first poor reception in 4G and fallbacks to 3G, then this.

I have 12 MB ADSL (no giggles por favor). S3 LTE gives that speed in any point of the apartment with all the doors closed.

Note 4, with all doors open, shocks:

4.8 Mbit in the room;

5.3 Mbit

standing by the rooter

!

they charge over 700 euros for this!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @Class:
See this is what I'm saying!!! I've never seen more than 5 Mbits, B, G, N (2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz), the same crap speed all the time!

Right now my Note 4 is sitting in its box at home until new firmware comes out. What the f*** Samsung!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Comparing Wi-Fi performance is like comparing battery life and lag - no two configurations are the same. Historically, Exynos and Qualcomm Samsung devices used different radios/modems. Until there are tear downs of the two Note 4's we won't know if that's true this time. If there was a universal Wi-Fi bug that affected everyone there would be a lot more people in this thread. So it's most likely the type and brand of router with some perhaps having issues with the Note 4's radio(s). Comparing it to other phones (including the Note 3) is pretty pointless because more than likely they/it used a different radio.

In my case, I have a newer high-end Netgear AC router that the Note 3 didn't like at all. It would bounce from 2.4GHz to 5GHz and end up on LTE with "signal quality" errors as the reason. All that went away with the Note 4. So some of us are better off, some worse, and some unaffected. That's just the way Wi-Fi goes.

My N10.1-14 and Note 4's speed test results done side-by-side on my home router...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @Class:
I don't need a general message on how to compare wifi, but thanks anyways. There's no way it should be 3-5x slower standing right in front of the router.

Also try on G or N and let us know the results.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
That said, no one here's going to magically cure your problem which is obviously isolated or this would be a 20 page thread by now. So your choices, which have always been the same for anyone having individual Wi-Fi issues are:

Return the phone and get a different model/brand which works with the networks you connect to.

Live with it and hope that future s/w updates to the radios may improve performance on the networks you connect to.

I travel a lot and connect to a ton of hotel, airport, corporate, coffee house, and carrier networks in and outside the U.S. So far, having been in Japan, Germany, and the UK since I got my Note 4, I haven't had

any

wireless connectivity issues (attributable to the Note 4) at all. On some networks I use regularly it greatly outperforms my old Note 3. I know that doesn't help you but may help those this thread is freaking out.

P.S. - I've never seen a new device released that hasn't had a thread just like this with some folks having wireless issues.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] boodies:
Works great here. I usually get 110+ mbps at home on my netgear ac1900 Router on a 100mbit connection. Phone is wicked fast.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @Class:
No one asked you for choices, but thanks for the effort anyways. There are at least 5 separate people on here that have confirmed very slow WiFi connections as well.

Sounds like the only people getting good speeds are using 802.11 AC routers. I just tried on an AC router and the speed was as expected at 30Mbps. Switching it to N, G or B reveal results worse than they should be.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] con_ritmo:
For your own sanity, you need really need to run an iperf test like alex uk did. That is really the way to measure the speeds within your network. Post up the results of the iperf.

Reported link speeds are rather meaningless...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
So you think the majority of routers serving public places are AC? I'm sure I've been on N and G routers in my travels and probably not known it. Here's the router I'm on right now. It's at a coffee house I'm at frequently. The connection usually sucks both because of the router's placement and the dozens of people competing for limited bandwidth. My Note 4 performs better even via a crappy connection than my Note 3 did.

I don't buy that the Note 4's having issues with

all

non-AC or just plain older routers. Again, if it was, this thread would be lit up like a Christmas tree. And I don't mean this sarcastically or from an elitist perspective but if people can afford a $800+ phone and are still using old school routers it may be time for a home wireless investment.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] crissbm:
Works good for me also... 5ghz on RT N66U .
[Galaxy Note 4 General] grubbies:
At least you are getting 30Mbps on AC. I am still hovering around a crappy 6Mbps on the AC router (ASUS AC-68U). Oh well, I am resigned to the crappy speeds and am enjoying other features of the phone for now as long as pages load fast enough.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lisbon2004:
Those with capped wi-fi - could you share your device details?

are you snapdragon too?

have you submitted a report via a samsung website?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] grubbies:
I just did a test and strangely enough all things being the same, the download speeds received a huge boost, from 6Mbps to 76Mbps. I allowed the speed test app to select the best server this time round.

To those still experiencing slow speeds, please try with different servers.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] @Class:
This thread is about WiFi speed and not LTE.

Strange so iPerf will give me 110 Mbps + here on the LAN (Says connected at 144 Mbps).

Downloading a file with the browser, speed testing apps and even command line wget wether the target is on the LAN or the internet etc all reveal about 5 Mbps.

Something is clearly wrong with Android then (the runtime, system libraries, who knows), some optimization they did went horribly wrong. The chipset / wifi antenna / hardware all look to be good.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ciscostud:
Using WiFi Note 4 in my house has been much better than my Note 2. I'm also steaming movies in rooms with my Note 4 that I could never do before.

TRUE testing WIFI performance should be done only on your LAN and not involve the Internet.

Some of you guy are mixing WiFi and LTE terminology together and its inaccurate.

If you're going to test WIFI performance, your routers WAN link to your ISP does not need to be involved.

The only thing relevant is your WiFi performance on the LAN
