Anyone have subpar WiFi speeds on this phone? I can't even get through a YouTube video. It buffers every 20-30 seconds or so.
I ran speedtest and it only got around 3mbps down. Then I ran some tests and it was around 12mbps down.
My S5 consistently gets 17-18mbps down. My u-verse Internet is rated at 18mbps down.
Anyone else? Defective unit?
i have the same iusse with the WiFi
Mine was getting 18 down and up when I ran speed test last night.

I get 40mb which is inline with my ipad.
Hmm so maybe a defective unit?
maybe we need to wait for a update that fix this iusse.
I am getting super slow speeds. I'm only getting around 4-5 down and 20 up and I have 2 of them doing the same exact thing. Both my old Note 3's and my S4 active are pulling 15-20 down and 18-20 up every time.
So, I may have figured out my particular problem. My u-verse Internet and TV services both died today. That is where my wonky speeds were coming from.
At my gf's parents right now and they have the same u-verse service that I have. Getting 22 down and 2 up. Which is normal for their package.

Me? Stock. Just disabled a bunch of AT&T crap.
For some reason I did the same thing disabled some stuff and when I got to my work wifi it started pulling 20mb down. So I guess it's something in my house conflicting some things

Im geting 17ms ping, 30.90 MBPS downloads, and 54.10 uploads...my iPad gets higher downloads...not sure why but 30.90 seems ok....not mindblowing fast..but decent enough.

So I just did the same test on an iPad air that I have connected to the same network. On that Im getting 52.93 download, 62.59 upload and 12ms pings...so not so great on the note 4 compared to the iPad air..both have wifi turned on.....so at this point I guess they need to do some work on their wifi connections...dont know if an update will help the situation or not.
I haven't experienced any issues myself.

Ok, I have charters 100mb service at home with has a Belkin N150 router hooked up to it...I do lots of speed tests and rarely will I get over 25mb on my speed tests...Usually between 20-25. Shouldn't I be getting alot more than that? I realize I loose some speed going thru the router, but that much? Is there anything I can do to improve? Does this sound normal to you guys? Many thanks
P.S. The speed test numbers are done from my galaxy nexus

Usually its just my phone and my galaxy 10.1 tab, but they are never online at the same time.
I read somewhere on here that the wifi on the GNexus is not that great and wasn't all that fast, the LTE is usually faster. I may be wrong.
Do you live in a large apartment building with extremely crowded wifi channels? I know that my Gnex gets about 7 Mbps (36 Cable connection) on 2.4 GHz because it's so crowded. When I switch the router to 5 GHz it gets about 34 Mbps because those channels are empty.
I have 35/35 fios that actually hits 42/30 on the every single computer and laptop at home. I have NEVER gotten higher then 29 on my phone and like the OP I usually only get 20-25. Buff McBig (great name btw) What do get on speedtest with your phone on wifi can you post a screen?

Apparently I exaggerated because I can only average 29 or 30 and max at 32. That is with 3 devices all samsung. The others are gtab 10.1 and sprint gs2. My transformer prime can't connect to 5ghz.

every mobbile device is basically limited by its hardware, memory/cpu and throughput bottleneck. you cant get much higher than 30Mbps on the nexus as it's hitting hardware limits due to a mobile device.
thru the generations speedtest results have gone up though.
Hello,
When I do a test with the SpeedTest app, it gives me fast speeds (10~20mbps), but very high ping. I'm getting 500~700ms ping from using this app to connect to a server that is only 2 km away. I have tried other servers and gotten the same results.
When I ping google.com, I'm getting an average of 300ms.
I live in NYC, and the cell tower is actually very close, according to OpenSignal app. I see others getting 30~60ms times on T-Mobile HSPA, so this seems out of the ordinary.
I get normal ping times when connected to wifi.
Anyone know what is causing this?
I get it too its nothing to worry about I think its just a bug and not accurate sometimes. Nothing to worry about.

I get it too. But I don't care b/c ping matters to me if I'm playing multiplayer games. I never play games on my S2 except on rare occasions. So long as I get my data, I am satisfied.

Slow speedas as in 2000Mbps.

No idea about the speed test app, but I don't think pinging google would result in a glitch. It seems there is a delay in loading websites as well.
I even get lower ping on EDGE....

That's odd.. thought I set it to Mbps..
It's an order down, so 2000 kbps.
Maybe it's because of where you live. Ping is how long it takes to speak with the outside servers, heavy congestion higher ping.
I live outside of Orlando and get 50 or less. With about 20mbps do speeds and over 2 up...

Over the last few years, I figured it was just coincedence, but I've always had MUCH better range and performance on my HTC devices versus Samsung devices. With my Evo 3D, I could walk across the street and still get great WiFi signal, whereas my roommate with an SGS2 lost signal just over 100ft from the router. I always figured his phone was broken, but other friends with various other Samsung phones from different carries had the SAME problem... Now I bought myself a Sprint SGS3 and I am seeing identical performance, with equally-bad signal issues regarding 3G and 4G.
Why would Samsung continue to produce lackluster radio hardware despite generation after generation of problematic phones? I guess the cool-factor outweighs usability? Scary

This is about to get ugly......
I can confirm the same sort of issues, I have the SGS3, my son has the iphone 4S and my step son has the Evo LTE, and those two snot nosed little punks have much better wifi around here than I do, hell we can be sitting next to each on the couch and they've got signal when I don't. And let's not talk about 3G reception, that will just cause me to cry... Let's not get into why I let a family member, not to mention my own flesh and blood own an apple device... it sickens me...
I can confirm also. My evo lte gets full signal anywhere in my house. If my cars parked across the street i still have 2 bars on wifi. My router on my 2nd floor. My s3 only gets full signal on that floor. If i walk out my door i lose it

I have the Evo LTE and the GS3, and while the Evo shows better signal strength, the Samsung gets at least 30 percent higher throughput on WIFI all the time. I have not tested which one goes a greater distance from the router, but the Samsung is always a lot faster at my house. Typically the Evo gets 6-9Mbps while the GS3 pulls 12Mbps.

I also am having the same issues with the S3 when it comes to WiFi Reception !! I Had the HTC Evo LTE And The WiFi Reception was Exceptional. I knew it all along that Samsung had weak Radios. Knowing all that and I still Ended up getting the S3 cause its is an Awesome Toy and is lots of fun to use not to mention easy to root !!
I hope Samsung has a way to update their software and be able to fix this issue. I also hope Sprint will carry the Note 2 cause that is my next toy and cant wait for it to show up on sprint!! Samsung is Bomb and I am proud to carry that name with me wherever I go )))))
maybe samsung wouldn't get so many complaints about its radios if they had also copied the iphone's hardware.

Ain't nothing a little duct tape can't fix!
It's funny that I ran into this today because I was just talking to someone about how impressed I have been with the WiFi performance. I'm coming from an Electrify (Photon) and a Desire before that. I must say, those phones had so many issues with WiFi connectivity that it makes the GS3 look unbelievably great. I guess it has to do with luck in some cases.
Interestingly, the GS3 uses (as far as I can tell) the Broadcom 4334 chip for Wi-Fi, which is the newer cousin of the iPhone 4S's chip, the Broadcom 4330, so performance should be similar. Also, my EVO 3D (which has good Wi-Fi reception) uses the Broadcom 4329 chip. Between the two phones, I haven't seen any noticeable difference in range or performance. Both have worked very well. (The drivers that the S3 uses for the 4334, though, have some wake lock problems, I've noticed.) The LTEVO uses Qualcomm's WCN3660, but I can't imagine the difference is that substantial. If there is a different between the S3 and the other devices, it's most likely a software problem.
for the people that say they have wifi issue did you still get a internet connection i mean seriously the bars doesnt mean that you dont have connection

I have no idea what you're talking about. I had the Evo 3D and the Galaxy S3's 3G signal strength is far superior. The WiFi signal is the same with the added benefit of 5Ghz.
What I see is a real-world distance issue... not necessarily a throughout problem. Though I FEEL that is also lower than all my previous devices. Is there a good app we can use for comparisons? I still have my Evo 3D at the house.

The signal bars mean nothing as far as throughput goes. My evo lte was worse with wifi connections than my s3. I have no buffering issues EVER with my s3 and pandora. You might wanna stay with 2.4 ghz and wpa v2 to get the most performance.

When I ran some speed tests yesterday I did notice a couple odd ones over 1000ms PING still testing at ~20,000 ( kbps + / - 10%) while the rest were well under 100ms..:silly:
Isn't that where the LTE deployment should more consistently excel in latency & building penetration?:good:
Best so far at a friends house. Very strong signal

I really hope there is an update to the Wi-Fi driver. Comparing it to my HTC one, s3 and nexus 4, it always has a lot weaker strength and speeds which is a little disappointing since its WiFi only. Has anyone else noticed this? In many spots the Wi-Fi will not even show where my other device still have half strength. I LOVE this tab but this only one issue is bugging me
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
No, this has much better wifi than the Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 has wifi driver issues.
The Wifi in this tablet has been the best I have ever owned, laptops and phones included. The range is incredible. What I thought was a dead space in my home isn't with this.
Maybe you're holding it wrong?
This makes me upset. Maybe I have something defective. I'm def not holding it wrong. Is there any apps that judge WiFi strength

Yeah it's called the WiFi signal indicator in the top right of your screen. Not trying to be an ass, but that's what its there for.
I have fantastic WiFi on my device. I get better upload speed on it than any other device in my house.
Try changing the settings from Auto select to 2.5ghz only under advanced in WiFi settings.
I was going to test this and then I noticed it connected itself to my wifi a block from my house. I am very impressed to say the least !
