Wifi hardware limit on the S3? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering what guys thoughts on this were. I can't get any faster test speeds of 32/10 on a 100/10 line.

Use the 5Ghz band
I'm getting 49Mbit on my 60Mbit vdsl connection

That's actually a really obvious dead.. why didn't I think of it when I was testing the other day? On 120 line with Virgin Media and only getting 1/4 of that is annoying. Thanks for the suggestion!

5ghz is definitely the way to go.

Ahh... Didn't think of that. Then again, 5ghz band will have less coverage so I'm not sure it'll benefit me better.

U need to have it broadcasting on ur router first. Not all standard routers have dual band.
If ur router supports it, click on wifi in settings (on ur phone) and connect to it like u did with ur current connection.
I have my SSID changed so I recognise which band is my 5ghz band.

[Q] Glonass?

I heard that the S3 has Glonass, the Russian version of GPS but I can't see it anywhere in the phone options.
I guess I don't need to know?
Gps is brilliant, by the way. So quick.

I believe that the GPS is quick and efficient because it is actually using both GPS and GLONASS by default. I don't think there is any accessible way to select only one or the other.
As aboxe, it automatically uses both. Standard behaviour for all GLONASS- capable Android devices like the Note and the RAZR.

Ah right. Thanks for the answers chaps.

Basic question - Switching SIM between two phones??

I have an ATT Galaxy S2 obviously.... I came across a brand new in box ATT Galaxy Note for a very good price.
Can I use both and just switch the SIM card when ever I feel like it?
If so, I'm buying it.
Thanks in advance.

LTE Sims are free. Att will configure the account or you can manually put in the correct APN for hspa only.

If you enabled sprints connection optimizer, that will do it. Try turning it off in settings, more settings, mobile networks, and lastly automatic connections.

Lol I am not a mod, however I'm sure one will gladly help you soon enough. As for your problem, try clearing data for whichever keyboard you're using. It should reset everything within that keyboard app and maybe resolve your concerns. Outside of that, hope you find a resolution to your issue.

Torrents on LTE

Anybody else not able to download any torrents while connected to 4G? Just sits at queue the whole time. I've read that Verizon is blocking this ability... Any way to get around it?
I hope this isn't against the rules. Torrents can be a legal way to distribute legal files. I am in no way condoning pirating any kind of software.

It also depends on the tracker. Some private trackers prohibit download over cellular networks.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
I will try tor. Thank you!
I have noticed if I keep trying different torrents, then it will work eventually.. So it might be the tracker.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Tor didn't seem to work for me. Where do you guys download your torrents from? Maybe I'm only downloading private tracker ones. I'm not sure.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Try changing your port number every once in a while, I noticed a significant difference when doing that.
