Tmobile LTE is available in Los Angeles - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Some towers have been turned on. Can someone please get some speed tests? And please run the sensorly app for one commute to contribute data to the coverage map.

How do you know its LTE and not 4G H+?

I just did a speed test and im running 20mbps
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

4G LTE is also available at DFW. I did a speed test and it was running 19 mbps. Not sure if it can go faster or not since the max is 20 mbps on speedtest app. I am very happy with galaxy s4. :laugh:

Can anyone in a KNOWN LTE area who is using PREPAID confirm whether or not they are getting LTE? I was told by T-Mo that prepaid SIM are not provisioned for LTE.

I've always gotten 20mbps down that's not LTE. Your on LTE if your upload speed is well over the normal 2-3 mbps

If it was HSPA there would be better coverage and it would have been there in the past. This coverage map was empty one month ago when i checked it. Its appearance coincides with the lte roll out.
Did hspa ever get 20mbps?!

The data icon should be something like 4G with subscript LTE. Also, the tests that I ran, the upload speeds were 7 Mbps and 12 Mbps. The bad news is that LTE was on for couple hrs and now it is off. I guess they are still testing the towers. Im from DFW.

I'm using an HTC One, but just noticed today that 4G LTE was displaying in the status bar whereas before it just said 4G. This is in Hollywood to be more precise.

There's LTE all over West LA now. This was as of last night.
I did a few tests in Culver City and got about 22 down and 9 up, with 60ms ping.

I'm about 25 miles east of Downtown LA. I'm getting 20Mbps down and around 1.5-3Mbps up. 4G notification icon only says 4G, not 4G LTE, but still quiet a bit faster than my S3 which used to average around 6Mbps in the same area.

That's pretty fast but lte could be faster. Maybe it will get better. Clearly it's not completed since service has gone on and off.

If you're in LA on a Galaxy phone, dial *#0011# and take a screenshot of your ServiceMode. By looking at it I'll be able to tell you what's the maximum theoretical download speed for your market (LA), what AWS channel they're using, what are your signal levels, etc..
Thanks.

Yeah well if you run speed tests in the late night/early morning hours, of course you're going to get good numbers. The network isnt as congested as the daytime and normal evening hours when people are awake.
Suburbs of San Antonio, Tx...normally weak 3G
(Using Sprint EVO 4G LTE)
On a good day 3G:
.90 Mbps down and .60 Mbps up with 290 ms ping
Rarely got 4g wimax to connect on my Og EVO in the burbs.
FWIW...Lte is lighting up off and on...assume testing as we are one of first cities to get Lte. Speedtest all over the place:
Best 8.65 Mbps down and 8.98 Mbps up and 113 ms ping
Lowest 5.22 Mbps down and 5.27 Mbps up and 110 ms ping
Also notice stronger 3G signal but not really faster speeds while they are testing. Would be thrilled if I could get consistent lte anywhere near early test speeds...especially after people start using it.
Oh yeah, Sprint is flying in northern California. :crying:

Lol, the connection strength isn't too shaby... It does disconnect often but that is because number one, the coverage is still somewhat spotty and two this phone has that "best connection" thing where it automatically picks the best coverage spectrum. So when i'm at home it always wants to pick my wifi since it's the strongest signal... the pic was actually taken while driving which was even more impressive... i wish there was a way to manually enable LTE like Wimax because sometimes you're in an area where u know there is 4g coverage cuz u got it b4 but the phone may not be scanning when u happen to drive thru that area. But once it is more widely deployed it will be like 3g where u can get it everywhere and provide a stable connection.

LTE is the next step 4th generation in wireless radio data transmission(although none of the carriers are actually providing true 4g speeds yet, the capacity is there)... unlike wimax it doesn't have a completely separate antenna that has to be manually switched on and off... its a different radio frequency but runs off of the same antenna as your standard 3g if im not mistaken... eHRPD tells the phone when to switch from 3g(CDMA) to LTE... as stated above once the deployment is widespread it will be a stable connection just like 3g... but thats years at minimum b4 we see that kind of coverage...

Don't waste your time moving lol. I live in Atlanta and its so spotty we might as well not have it. I don't get it at home or work. A few spots as you drive come on but what good is that? Quite disappointing really. However when i did get it and stopped, i got a 35meg test speed.
In Joliet, IN for business and I'm getting between 17 and 20 down and 4 to 6 up. Not bad considering I'm not getting anything in North Dallas where I live even though the Sprint Coverage map has me completely covered in LTE.....Sprint Coverage map sucks to be honest.
I have yet to see 4g LTE in my status bar and I live in SF area. Is there a toggle bar somewhere or in the settings area? I'm using blazer ROM

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Not a clue what you're asking....
He's asking about data speeds on the various frequencies of the phone.
Officially, no LTE on this model, yet. Rumor has it, and I'll be testing soon, that if you unlock the SIM (I already have) that you can get AT&T LTE on the phone. I've already confirmed that you can get HSPA speeds on AT&T with it.
Re: the speeds in the OP...yes, the phone in theory supports 42 Mb/s on HSPA+...far higher than your posted speeds, in real world, who knows. Real world speeds are dependent on many variables - location, towers support, backhaul capacity, network traffic between the phone and the server, etc.
In my area, the best I've ever seen on HSPA+ with this phone is about 14 Mb/s, which is comparable to my VZW LTE phone's speeds on speedtest.net.
If you're using speedtest.net, test with several different servers. I'm in Los Angeles, and the app usually tests me out of Monterey Park or downtown LA, and I get lousy speeds with those due to network congestion. If I switch to a San Jose, CA or Nevada server, speeds can quadruple.

Xfinity is Comcast's new branding for their Internet/cable packages. I suppose it's possible he was tethering. That's the only way that result would make any sense.

Oh gunna say, you can use speedtest.net which is the og site .
The note 2 has a 42mbps radio so it can support up to those speeds, but it depends on many factors as mentioned above.
In berkeley, ca I get 25 mbps and in the los angeles area (san gabriel) I'm getting 14 mbps
You might have to change servers as the servers around you might be slower than those a little farther away.

I got the first one at 49th street yesterday and the second pic at columbus circle this AM.
I've hit better peak DCHSPA+ speeds around 20-25mbps in some areas but it's great that they just updated the subways and it's fitted with LTE already.
These are all on the fast.t-mobile apn.
The thing that's most notable on LTE is that the upload speeds are >3.5 Mbps (the cap I've always hit while on HSPA+).
Buddy of mine was seeing in the 20mbits in Houston this weekend. Hoping to see speeds a little faster than that when it rolls out to San Antonio this month or next.

And details on one of them -

It seems as though the LTE speeds aren't all that much better than HSPA+ speeds.
I hit 21.1 down/5.2 up last week, and my market is only HSPA+ at the moment.

That is pretty impressive. where are you located?
I don't know why, but with my S4 and Note 3 HSPA (4G) I get 27 down and 9 up on average, but on LTE I only get 13 down and 12 up. HSPA seems to be a little faster here in Tampa, Florida than LTE. T-Mobile's HSPA is capable of 42 MBPS and so are the phones. So i keep my phone set at hspa instead of LTE. I also get 4 to 5 bars of signal on 4G and only 1 or 2 on LTE which might explain the speed difference
Just did a test outside near a tower. I got 22 down and 11 up. Pretty decent.
