T-mobile on i717 slow data speed - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Yesterday I bought an i717 rooted and installed every rom, ICS, GB, and tried every modem. Telus, Blaze, KID, VK1...set all the WCDMA 1700 only... and tried use HSPA only, *#*#4636#*#* and *#2263#...just give me a speed of download 0.5mb upload 0.03mb...what should I do???
Is it the phone defect??? hope any pro can help me.
I would get $20 paypal donate to him if someone fix my issue... first come first serve.

If you normally get speeds faster than that its most likely a phone defect.

try an app on the market called 3g/4g optimizer, saw about it on another thread. Helped me alot

I saw one guy here putting 2 pieces of aluminium foil and his phones speed increased
try it and see if it works on your phone!
also go to a different area and try your speed with speedtest.net

my gf is still upset about the phone...
My galaxy Nexus is super fast at my house 10+mb down 2mb up
but the note is like that...why?? i got 4G 4 bars signal.

[Q] How can I speed up Galaxy Note I717 data services on T-Mobile?

I have tried both T-mobile SGH-T989 KID and T-mobile SGH-T989 VKL1 modems/radios and the speeds are about the same, 1mbps down and 0.03mbps up.
I tried on both Stock ROM and SAUROM and both are similar speeds. I also tried switching from GSM/HSPA to HSPA only but HSPA only runs at edge speeds.
Signal strength is 4 out of 5 bars where I tested.
Are there any other modems/radios I can try?
Thanks in advance.
really? here u go before people start bashing on u for not searching

Use the Telus radio instead and also replace your build.prop file with the modified one you can find in the forum. I get 10Mbps down 2Mbps up usually with this setup.
haha i guess i missed the first half of ur post sorry, my data was good for the first week now im getting slow speed also ill try the telus one and piston back

Sim is a 2G sim? WHAT????
I cleared cache and flash the Telus radio and tested the speed and it's still the same speed as the other modem/radios. I even tried the other modems again and still no difference.
I put the sim into my Sensation and tested but the speeds I was getting were 1-2Mbps Upload and 0.2-0.6Mbps download. What the heck was happening with my data speeds and I have not even reached half my Throttling limit.
I called T-Mobile, the CS said that my sim was a 2G sim and they would send me a new sim. What the heck? I was given a new sim last year when I went to the T-Mobile store and complain about the slow speeds I was getting on the G2X. The sim is definitely NOT a 2G sim as I was getting 10Mbps down and 1.2Mbps up.
This morning on my commute, I tested a couple of times on my Sensation and my download speeds are now back to 10Mbps down.
I left my Note home so I will test when I get back.
its definitely the phone with the speed issues cuz my sister get 2-4 mg download and im still stuck on 200-300 kbps her phone is a mytouch 4g slide,

Possible fix with different combo of ROM/Kernal/Radio
Checkout this XDA article on the Portal page
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/get-your-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-to-run-t-mobile-hspa/
It seems the At&t Skyrocket some T-Mobile users are using are having the same problem.
XDA Senior Member tspx23 uses a combo of ROM/Kernal/Radio made a difference in getting better speeds on their Skyrocket. Will that work for the Note?
Now all we need is a Juggernaut like ROM with the Faux Kernal and the VKL1 radio.
i think that could be what we are going thru who here has what setup? im using the KID radio and still getting somewhat crappy speeds first day i did the mod was Proly the best speeds i got between 6-8

3 UK

Hi. Recently I have been experiencing extremely, painfully slow Internet over the last few days on three UK. Normally its fine but the last few weeks it has been really slow. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Its slow at my house where I live but anywhere else and its fine? Any help?

Mines been the same I'm in the north east, it seems to be getting back to normal now though.
The other problem I have is my internet signal usually disappears on a saturday and sunday during the day.
Only help is to contact your network or try a different network sim .

Switching from 02 I've noticed the speeds are slower. Using speed test I'd always be over 1mb with 02 but barely can get half a mb with 3. It doesn't really bothered me though because I only use it for streaming radio and browsing what is very snappy despite the slow connection.
Could you do a speed test using the speed test apply.
I got 102ping. 455kbps down. 587kbps up. Very odd my upload being faster than my download.

I got ping 58 , 13.35 Mbps download and 3.35 Mbps upload in town where my internet works because its not near where I live. And at home I get ping 355, 0.56 Mbps download and 0.33 upload.. In don't get it its just rubbish where I live nowhere else .. And I've tried switching to a different three sim but to no prevail. I now have to use pur home WiFi because 3G is always too slow to load. But seeming as I have a "all you can eat data plan" it seems pointless to use WiFi might as well use 3G since I have it

Network Speed Testing: Speedtest

This morning I was outside with my wife and decided to run a speed test to see how well my home WiFi connection was on the patio. Then I switched over to AT&T and... WOW! My best result by far. Currently running stock JB and Mystery Faux 4.1 kernel.
Lets see everyone's results...

LTE is no joke. I've been trying to tell my friends that it makes HSPA + feel like dial up. I only have 2-3 bars right now. I'll come back and post when I can get a better signal.
LA area. Much better than pre jb speeds. Still nowhere near the 40+mbps I was getting in Oakland.

I'm a against picketing but I don't know how to show it.
Makes you think paying for a ISP is a waste when you got LTE. Im on T-Mobile LTE and I average 14-20mbps in washington dc.
I agree. I've been debating dropping Cox internet.. but then I have to pay to tether and even with "unlimited" data.. I'll end up getting throttled..

I have noticed my throttled speeds are higher on LTE than they were when I was on a non 4G phone.
My throttled LTE speeds are actually as fast as my HSPA+ full speed was, (8Mb/s)
Luckily I haven't seen those dial up speeds since I've had my LGOG

Low network speed
I was in an AT&T store playing with various phones (I haven't decided which phone I want yet) and one of the tests I ran was speedtest. Turned off wifi on an HTC One, SGS4, and LGOG. The SGS4 and One both grabbed ~22/~6 down/up speeds, but the LGOG was in the ~6/~2 down/up range. All AT&T employees were really busy, so I couldn't ask them for help.
Can anyone think of a reason why this would happen? I ran the test multiple times. (I didn't try to troubleshoot other than rerunning the test)
The network was probably really bogged down by multiple people using the network off the same tower. "Heavy traffic"..
Correct me if I'm wrong. Just my educated guess.
As you can see from the above speed tests.. the LGOG has no problem getting high speeds
Also did you check to see what network it was on...
4G or HSPA+.... the symbol would have said 4GLTE or 4G respectively

Signal strength problems

I had always read that Samsung phones had signal issues on cdma networks. This is my first Samsung device after several HTC. My wife and I are both dropping calls daily in front of our house. I cannot hold a call in my front entry way. Our previous rezound and thunderbolts did not have this problem and neither do our kids droid DNAs.
I called Verizon about getting a network extender because other than signal issues, we love the notes. They want 300 for it. I refused. They sent out techs to check signal in our location and say we have 3 towers blanketing our area so it's the phone. Still won't give us a free network extender. They agree it's a device problem. They say they have no phone comparable to the note to switch to and said there was nothing they could do. I told them to send another note to try. I guess I will keep going through notes until they other me the new Motorola's in a couple of months. They did offer me an upgrade, but I'm not giving up unlimited data.
I might hold out and try to get the next HTC phone that drops, either DNA 2 or one.
It really sucks because otherwise this phone is the best but dropping calls daily really sucks...

Just hang in there, after you get a few replacements from VZ they will offer you a different model.
I think I'm going to hold out. It might take awhile. I'll only take a phone with 32gb of storage and a big battery unless it comes with sd card slot

Thanks for the link, but I shouldn't have to buy extra equipment because Samsung can't make good cdma radios.
Curious if anyone else has wifi drops regularly. Both my phone and tablet drop and reconnect wifi pretty often. You see a message that briefly pops up.

My note does not have any issues with wifi. Check that its the phone and not the router.... really really sounds like its not the phone.
As for signal issues, My note did have issues with verizon. i switched to AT&T with the same phone and its 10x better. Probably more to do with my area than actual reception problems though.
Interesting my note gets far better signal strength than my 2 previous HTC devices I had. The only thing I don't think it matches up to is Motorola who I believe build the best radios period.

Don't think it's the router because it happens on both my note 2 and note 10.1
at home and at work. Sometimes it will kill downloads, sometimes it's fast enough not to matter.

The signal strengths match in setting between Samsung and HTC, but HTC phones seem to hold lower signal better where Samsung just gives up and you lose the call. Also, Samsung is quicker to jump over to 3g while HTC holds onto that one bar of lte better.
This has been reproducible for me on multiple Samsung and HTC devices (2 notes, 2 thunderbolts, rezound, 2 DNAs)

Just to follow up, took kids to dentist yesterday which is in a small town, outside of San Antonio. My phone had 1x, kids dnas had a couple of bars of 3g.
Swapped mine for a new note 2 (refurb) and is still dropping calls. Think I might just have to buy the extender...

Sprint signal strength in Omaha

I randomly decided to do a speed this morning while sitting in my car waiting to walk into work and I was quite surprised when I did. I was hitting between 43-50mbps downloads and 14-15mbps upload, I remember checking a couple of weeks ago and I was averaged 7mbps up and about 2mbps down. I checked sprints website and it seems I am in the new LTE plus service area, I am quite impressed since I have never hit the kind of numbers I hit this morning. I did another test once I got inside (I work in a old brick government building where I usually rely on WiFi ) and I was pulling 26mbps down and 14mbps up....amazing. Sprint is finally getting their **** together, I posted screenshots below
Yep it appears they are coming around, I pulled a 71 down 1 day last week myself. I haven't gotten it since but I've been getting consistent 40+.
Where you located at?

West side of the lower Peninsula of Michigan.
Edit: in the last few days I've suddenly gotten great LTE at home, faster than my cable internet actually as its been consistently running around 32 down and 7 up. I only get 27-28 down on my cable though the ping is 3x as long on LTE. Still, it's impressive as for the past 3 years I had to manually switch to 3G when outside to stream music on my phone around my house because it was usable and the LTE was so weak it wasn't.
I deleted the screenshot already but I actually hit 62 down 17 up yesterday about 9am. I was absolutely floored.
