Tmobile upgrade to 4.4.2 last night for the S4. I thought I had no issues until tonight when an app was updating and it took forever. I ran ookla speed test and my speed was less than half of what it usually is. I figured a glitch, and ran it again. I have fios quantum so even half speed is good, but it's not what it was.
I restarted the router, and same thing.
I was ready to call Verizon when I figured I'd check with another device.
The ipad reported normal speeds, so that ruled out Verizon.
Then it dawned on me, I just had the upgrade, could that be it?
I found this thread and #18 was real close.
I changed location to highest setting and speeds returned.
Location mode in power saving, 17 mbps down and 17 up.
Location mode in high accuracy, 43 mbps down and 36 up.
Thanks for the thread and that I resolved this so quickly.
Hopefully this helps sometime else.
I wonder how many other people aren't noticing?
