ALL LTE discussions here please

I've posted here before and have surprisingly boasted about the Rogers LTE service up here in Toronto... I had a 69 Mbps peak DL a few months back...I regularly averaged 35-45 Mbps with daily highs in the 50's and had that near 70 peak...
well as much as I expected the service to congest and degrade as more people have come on, etc... its actually held up and even improved a bit!.. and theyve even been expanding the coverage...still not fully in my city yet (Milton) ..stops literally two blocks from my house...

But nonetheless I've been getting a lot of mid 60 peaks late and tonight I broke 70 several times with a near 72 Mbps high!

Check it out: (the second pic is multiple high from this week and as far back as august...so not a one night wonder)

71.71 Mbps! Not bad eh....

Those are sick speeds! I don't get anything close to that on Rogers in North York. Average about 25-30 mps.

On another note, with all that testing you better have an unlimited data plan, as high speed tests = massive data use.

Yep ur right its 20 megaBytes per test... Always been aware. Ill do five tests here and there so no biggie. I have the 6GB per month plan. No prob...

Oh BTW..north York guy 25-30 avg is still very good but yeah the towers further in west end GTA seem to give higher peaks...

Do you burst that by a lot? or any trick to save up data beside disabling the data when it's not in use.

I usually get by just fine. But when I'm home from school with my friends and we go out (like right now), I always come within kilobytes of going over. I can't convince my dad to up me to 3gb even if I pay for it every month.

Right now I've used 190.42 of my limit and have everything blocked from using data except for MMS by using AFWall+. It's honestly a huge pain in the ass.

That guy was doing continuous tests at high 60's+, I would guess that chews more data than 20MB/test.

I noticed that, I wonder if it is due to less traffic?

Suggestion: Tell your Dad it is impacting your studies due to not having enough capacity to download attachments on the go. Also offer to prepay 3+ months at a time, may given him comfort of not being stuck paying for it. Lol, taking notes here...when my little guy reaches phone age, 3+ gigs/month minimum!!

It'd be easy enough to set up online bill pay to send money to his account every month. I'm telling you, waiting til Jan. 6th at midnight feels like waiting for 2014. My phone does nothing!

Wow, I feel you, with the500 I have to check every week to see how much I'm at. My data is disabled when I'm outside sometimes, ugh.

When I was on my Captivate, I was able to use 3G Watchdog Pro to turn off my data at 95% usage, but now when it does it on my S3, it mucks with MMS so I can't receive pictures even though I've told it to ignore usage by the messaging app. it lobs it together with "OS Services + others" and I can't isolate it by itself.

It's also not super accurate at counting data usage and is off frequently by 2-3 MB.

Missing calls when on LTE

ghudgins said:
Anyone else see their phone take too long to switch from LTE to 3G when a call comes in? This results in the person calling getting rings and then voicemail, but no missed call on your device. It only happens when the LTE->3G switch takes a bit to get started...but I'm noticing it quite a bit.

I called AT&T and they just "reset" my account, but that had little effect. What gives??

(I'm in the Washington DC metropolitan area)

I am having the same issue since last 2 months (since they installed LTE in my area) . When I am connected to LTE, I miss calls half of the time. At the caller end, it rings 4-5 times and goes to voicemail. I do not get any calls or missed calls even when I am in full coverage and when screen is on and using internet. Data seems to work fine during the time but no calls. So if people dont leave a voicemail, I have no way to know that someone called me.

I have been talking to AT&T customer care since a month and no resolution yet. I am rooted, stock 4.1.1 firmware. A little research shows that its not the phone, everyone with LTE on AT&T has the same issue including iphone 5 and HTC one X.

Just curious, did you resolve the issue? I see that you had trouble back in Sep 12 so just wondering how you got it working.

I have read too that other LTE devices are effected. A few have stated that changing their APN settings to the wap.cingular settings. Since I am not rooted I can not change my apn to test. I thought that it was related to the 4.1 update but the more I read on the ATT forums it looks like a lot of LTE devices are having the same issues.

I had that issue soo many time. I even used a prepaid at&t sim with no data and still to no avail I had 98 percent of calls missed. Luckily I use google voice for my voicemail so if I get a missed call it alerts me with a timestamp as well. When it gets really bad I use groove IP to make and recieve calls. Work slightly better but IMO I feel its an internal antenna issue.

I also noticed a glitch with apps no releasing processes properly causing some conflicts. Let me know what you think.
