Hey Guys,
I swapped my AT&T Galaxy Note with my Dad's unlocked N7000. I followed the guide carefully including Disabling Fast Dormancy (which actually helped alot).
I still have both phones and did some tests with HSPA+ - *there is NO LTE in this area where I live so I'm sure I'm on HSPA.
On the same exact location / same simcard:
AT&T i717 results:
11mbs
down / 2mbs
up / ping 120ms <<-- average of 3 tests
N7000 results:
3-4mbs
down / 1.2mbs
up / 210ms <<-- average of 3 tests
I've tried PTA, Phone, WAP .. all sorts of combination and it still fails.
I've also tried 5 different ROMS, including Stock. Nothing.
I would say 4mbs is good .. however, this is in my house (close to a tower, that is why I get 11mb down on i717 HSPA). If I go outside, holy batman .. it sucks so bad which never sucked with my i717.
I really don't want to return this to my dad
It is wicked fast compared to the i717.
Please give me some advice!
Thanks
EDIT: Before someone asks, yes ... the icon on my N7000 shows HSPA+ - not 3G when conducting the test
