3G speed/strength significantly weaker than store display model
It's been about 2 months now with my GNex and I'm tired of the weak 3G signal and slower speeds compared to my EVO Shift. I decided to stop by a store on my way home today to speedtest the EVO 4G LTE, to see what it was like. It got about 1400Kbps to 5 various servers. My GNex was hardly pulling 500 and it was very inconsistent.
One of the store employees told me the LG Viper was even better, and he was right. I averaged 1900Kbps to the same servers.
But I then realized that I should be comparing my GNex to the store's GNex. I didn't think it would make a difference, so I was checking out the other devices, but I went and tested it anyways. Same 5 servers and it pulled 1200-1600Kbps.
I'm pretty convinced that my Sprint GNex sucks, but it's been two months. Do you think they'll let me exchange?
PS: I unlocked the bootloader, installed the usual recovery and Superuser packages, flashed multiple ROMs... etc. I installed the FD02 update from someone on xda who made a flashable update.zip. Before actually doing anything, I'm going back to stock FD02 to verify that it's still broken there. - 06-16-2012, 10:44 PM #2
Re: 3G speed/strength significantly weaker than store display mod
I usually get about 1000mbps which is high for my area, compared to my OG EVO 4G and Epic 4G Touch, it's faster.
