LG G4 AT&T vs. H810 (International)

[alwayslearning]

I own both phones. The AT&T 810 and the international 815. To my surprise every speed test that I have done the AT&T version is faster than the international 815. Can’t explain it I would assume that each phone had the same hardware. My 815 and my 810 running on the same LTE band and I have tried different speed tests in different parts of the city even when the LTE band changed. For data download the AT&T is much faster. Again I have tested both phones side-by-side over and over and I would have assumed the 815 would’ve been the same or a little quicker. Even when I ran the quadrant speed test the AT&T beat my international version, not by that much but it still was faster poster just.

On top of this, my wife has a S6 edge and it beats my 815 in all the speed tests, it’s comparable to my 810.

Just went and looked at it for at&t but decided to wait until its at the very least rooted. My g3 is working just fine for now .

if both are tested on att, maybe they prioritize att variants over intl even for their subscribers...? just a thought. I'm leaving att as soon as i decide my next phone, likely the g4, but getting away from att is part of that. they have sheisty ploys at every turn.

What kind of speed difference are we talking? Give us some rough numbers, thanks.

I have attached some pictures of two different tests. On the 810 you can ignore the 175 because that was accidentally on Wi-Fi.
A couple of things I have noticed in the carousel of homepages on the 815 I cannot scroll around and around you will come to the end of your homepages on the left or the right. On the AT&T 810 it will carousel around.

The AT&T screen has a yellow to it were my 815 is very white to the point I think something’s wrong with the 810 (AT&T). That I will be returning the phone for screen without the yellow hue to it.

That's a cool observation. On a similar note, I found my G4 to be faster than my AT&T G3 by about 3mbps download.

Do you have the 815 directly on AT&T service or through one of their MVNOs like Straight Talk or Cricket?

both phones are on AT&T

Interesting. Must be some setting difference between the two. Wonder if you could use the 277634#*# dialer code to get into the settings and look for differences?

I have an 815 intl version on ATT in So. cal. , and trying Ookla speedtest all over town, I've yet to hit even 10mbps download, and about the same for upload. Is there a setting i don't have enabled? I'm using the nano-SIM from my Nexus 6 with an adapter to make it fit in the G4...but that can't be it, right?

Not sure what it is because I was able to get 20Mbps down/ 4 up on ATT in Alhambra a few minutes ago on my 810.

Yep, that's a good download speed, and likely because you have the actual ATT version. I have the unlocked intl 815 version, which supports all the ATT LTE bands, but doesnt seem to be using them. I may try getting a new sim tomorrow, instead of using my old nexus 6 sim.

Also, were you on wifi? Those two numbers sound like wifi ratios. LTE uploads are usually closer to the dl speeds than that, but not always.

made sure wifi was turned off. With wifi, I get 60 down and 5 up at home. Hope that new sim card works out for you. :good:

I am surprised this is not getting more attention. Does someone with a TMobile version or H815T have ATT and can test their speeds, or an ATT phone on Tmobile network?

I have the 815T using cricket (att) network. I know not the same, but for what it's worth i max out the lte 8mpbs speed all the time.

 

[throwaway11111]

So that's really interesting. I was about to pull the trigger on an international model. Does anyone have an ATT model or international model on TMobile network and can post their speed results?

when I got my 815 i had to go into settings>wireless networks>more>moble networks>network mode and change it to GMS/WCDMA/LTE in order for LTE to work on ATT. By defult it is turned off for LTE

I am in OC,CA on ATT and I normally get 22+m down and 10+ up. This is with my 815

at home on WiFi I get 175+ down and 30 up

Yep, I'd already checked that too. Going to try getting the new SIM today to see if that works. Tried a few more speed tests here in San Diego yesterday, still nothing above 10mbps.

The 810 shows 4G LTE icon. The 815 only shows 4G.

How are you verifying the 815 is actually getting LTE? As the images don't support.
