So this is what LTE feels like?

Didn't know what I was missing all this time.

I was looking at AIO wireless, but I read the fine print and they cap download speeds at 8Mbps

I get better than tht on t-mobile HSPA+ and I hear AT&T's HSPA+ is below average.

Been on straight talk att for a couple of months. Only switched because of coverage issues at my job. AT&T HSPA+ for anything other than light web browsing is compared to T-Mobile its not even funny. Can barely load up HD YouTube or Vine videos with this shyt. The LTE probably solves this but the N4 only has the T-Mobile band LTE. I'm hurting out here but at least I can send texts from work.

Oh and $45 for "unlimited" everything is a win. T-Mobile 30 plan was getting annoying with the minutes. Always had to put an extra 10-15 dollars on that shyt

Yea the N5 has the LTE bands so I got a ST AT&T LTE sim and the speed after one test was around 9 Mbps. As I am coming from slow ass sprint whose 4G service was like 1-2 Mbps , 9 seems like light speed to me. And I didn't have too many issues streaming Netflix on Sprint, so on ST should be gravy.

Is this on T-mobile ??


I just had a revelation. My home internet SUCKS, like 10 Mbps (some shady direct tv internet, my building only allows this one) and I pay $45 a month. Those LTE speeds are sick! I'm thinking of cancelling my home internet and using that LTE service.

Said I wasn't going to root for a while, but I missed a few features of custom ROMs Bout to flash a new one in a minute..

As far as the camera goes, all of the reviews have been from using the stock camera app. Based on some guy's findings on XDA, Google limited the quality of the pictures through the stock camera software. Someone over there has updated the camera with more features and upped the picture encoding, sharpness and audio/video bitrate values. Supposedly this makes the pics better.

It's crazy how Google can miss the boat and guys on XDA always find the issues immediately and push out fixes...

A lot of people don't realize after they get to a certain point of data they get throttled depending on there plan.
