    Very slow download transfer speeds on Android / Google Play store?

    update: again, at work i had no problem with my LTE connection until the end of the day. on all 3 days, my connection seemed to crap out around 4.30pm EST. i would chalk this up to congestion on Google servers...but it lasts me basically all day after that. additionally, some coworkers told me...

    Very slow download transfer speeds on Android / Google Play store?

    this may be the cause for my WiFi connection, but what about the LTE connection? Outside of the Play Store, I get good speeds. but in the Play Store, i get nothing, LTE included. my work connection is a lot more stable, ironically despite the weaker signal, but even then, it crapped out at the...

    Very slow download transfer speeds on Android / Google Play store?

    just to add more to this thread, at work today, where my LTE signal is significantly weaker than at my apartment residence, i was getting perfectly normal speeds. ~12mpbs at work on Speedtest, which translated to the Google Playstore, YouTube, et cetera just fine. that is the most curious part...

    Very slow download transfer speeds on Android / Google Play store?

    only with the Play Store. and only at my apartment (for LTE; have not tested WiFi on another network). when i was at work today, i made it a point to test it and i was downloading stuff from the Store at speeds I would expect. additionally, i was watching 1080p video at work no problem. here...

    Very slow download transfer speeds on Android / Google Play store?

    Re: [Instruction]How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon yes. battery and SIM are out of the old phone. this G2 is just "Please wait for activation" for now ~10 minutes; i changed out the factory SIM to my brother's SIM. my older brother had no problem doing this with Verizon 1 month ago...

    [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep (legacy) Unlimited Data on Verizon

    Re: [Instruction]How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon not as far as i know. the phone turns on and goes straight to activation (which then fails). i've been able to add the IMEI number online using the method you described -- it then tells me to use his old SIM in the new phone and let it...

    Re: [Instruction]How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon ah. that doesn't do me apply to me though because i am transferring an upgrade from my unlimited to my brother's tiered. so in that case, is there a wait time between activation on tiered line > deactivate > activation on unlimited line

    Re: [Instruction]How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon nice. i think i'm gonna take the plunge tomorrow, especially with the $60 discount from the code. to cover my bases, i won't have the phone activated in the store (so the rep doesn't "accidentally" use the Alternate Upgrade method...

    [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep (legacy) Unlimited Data on Verizon

    Re: [Instruction]How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon Oh nice. I just did a quick Google search on the SIM card size, so that's why I thought nano. i had read the Verizon variant is different than stock variant and i guess this is one of the differences. I'm still undecided on Moto X vs G2...
