Re: Anyone using Nexus4 on Straight Talk?
I just got my N4 yesterday with the ATT sim and I am very disappointed with the signal quality inside my house. Doesnt matter if I am upstairs or downstairs, at best I will get 1 or 2 bars for a moment then it will be back to no service again. What I dont understand is on the ATT website they list the coverage not just where my house and street is located as being the best signal possible, but the whole general area. So, either ATT is lying about their coverage in my area or theres some other issue going on. I havent been able to go outside for an extended period yet because of the rain. I did look to see what service was like at a local restaurant and again, where ATT says the best signal possible and it was the same result, barely a connection, 1 bar or 2 if that and not for more than a moment. Could it be the N4 is not setup right on the frequency bands when using a ST ATT micro sim card? I read other reports of very slow speeds, mines at best 4mbps down and 1 mbps up with 250-300ms ping according to speedtest. I know ATT's hspa network isnt LTE but surely its not that bad. Sprints 4g wimax at my house is at least 2x better than that.
I plan on trying t mobile on the $30 plan even though i dont have much hope for it either, their coverage map lists my area at satisfactory for 3g/4g coverage and good for 2g/voice.
