Yeah, I might have to look up how to do this in a month or so since I'll be moving, if I'm lucky I'll get to a 4g area or at least as good of a 3g area I'm in now (average speed test is 2 mb/s +, best of 2.6 down and 1.4 up)... If I'm not in a good spot then I'll definitely be looking back here
Are my speeds average for a decent 3g area or I'm I really in a great spot? Just wanna know what to expect

Hey guys... So I just wanted to show you my rocking 4G signal in Madison. Five months owning the phone and this is my first experience...
I don't ever want to go home.... Im blowing my Cable WIFI speeds away! Holy smoking speeds Batman

Very good speeds! I'd die for 2.5 down and close to 1.5 up, keep your fingers crossed you can maintain those speeds when you move or are lucky enough to end up in a 4G market.

well I know 4g is close, only about 20 miles away, and I heard they are supposed to expand it this month or at least by June and I don't plan on moving too too far so I might get lucky

I have had this problem as well before, of you are in an extended 4g network area, your phone is trying to access verizons 4g instead of 3g if you know the 3g in your area is reliable change the radio settings to cdma only, not cdma/lte, this solved my problem before, sure you may not access 4g automatically while in 4g coverage, but you should remain connected to 3g

Hi again folks, hope all is well! Sorry Judy11 for just now responding, I missed your post some how. I most definitely changed the LTE/CDMA TO CDMA only. In fact, I encourage you to review some of my snapshots and posts. I go a step further and use EVDO only. Although no one has yet been able to figure out how to block eHRPD connections like with the Rezound as an example. I'm hoping as more users find these issues nationwide and then come back here to share it with all of us... Someone will find the magic key! Ha ha... I wanted to mention and don't remember if I had a chance to post prior to heading off to all meetings but I hit over... Lol, I'll just attach the shot lol!

One thing to note: I haven't researched this much as yesterdays coupled with today were my first taste of 4G future nationwide connectivity and I lived it minds one major caveat... I've heard it blows thru batteries is an understatement... I hardly messed with my phone all day as I was in meetings and my battery died completely before two pm... Talk about "wheezing" my juice... More like a battery vampire sucking the life out of my phone!

i just wonder vzw is going to 'turn on' 4g in jackson, ms.... ive been getting told that for a year now and that it in test mode at the airport, which is worthless seeing that the airport has their own top notch wifi going... Its this inconsistent bs that burns me with vzw but they sure are consistent with those price hikes tho huh lol

oh well im in jonesboro, ar for now in nursing school, and im eating that 4g like hot sushi lol lol. i usually average 18 mb down 6 up on galaxy nexus 4g... :biggrin:

Evening Nexus users. Update on testing, overall my recent thread has been my most stable and best overall 3G experience while in extended coverage area.
The latest set i'm rocking has been up for the past two days and has held fairly stable even with updating some themes a well as adding Franco 141 nightly. (it's rocked for me this far btw)...
I'll include a snapshot of build and latest speed tests. Been consistently between 1 - 1.5 ghz connection download ability. While some may think that speed is crap (and I would agree, lol) as they say, beggar can't be choosers and typically I've only averaged around 500k. Yuck!

I'm using a hybrid CDMA 4.0.4 radio with 4.0.2 LTE. two days and my only issues come when i'm flashing other theme, kernel, whatever...
I keep hearing that none of these things should effect radios... To this, I would also agree, yet funny how it does ;-)

Well, yesterday cellcom was kind enough to bless my extended network with 4G service and... Not one dropped data issue and 4G connects super fast...

There are some decent radio posts on xda along with rootzwiki that have some decent radio updates. I'm sorry my testing is complete since I have 4g and never drop data any longer.
