I'm getting 15 down and 9 up in a very low signal area

 

uh-oh my 2 snapshots below is going to be a re-run

Here's my typical numbers (from inside the house or office; not outdoors)...



Here's the signal stuff from 12 hours ago...



Yeah... the Rezound is pretty good... has an awesome antenna design. Even the wireless-n chipset is both 2.4 and 5 Ghz.
Have fun...
bye.

 

Haven't seen anything under 20down and have hit 50, Minneapolis mn.

 

You know, these speed test results can vary quite a bit. In general, when in a 4G area, my results are quite good. But I would have to take some of these results with a few grains of salt. If you are in a stationary location and the 4G tower is nearby, the results with the rezound can be astronomical.

I travel 4 days a week for work and pass thru many 3G -> 4G -> 3G areas. My average results (when I have time to test) are 14-15 down and 5-6 up. I know where 2 of the 4G towers are between home and work. It's about a 22 mile drive to work. When I am about half way between the towers, I am seeing 12-13 down and 5 up. If I do the test when I am a few miles from the tower I get the first set of results I posted.

When I was at the verizon store looking at both the rezound and nexus side by side and did the test, the rezound smoked the nexus.

 

My ping is about the same as the OP(I was at Best Buy when did this) but it looks like that's were the similarities end.

 

The best I've gotten was 27mbps dl and 12 upload. I was supprised. In the house I get barely better than my DSL, around 5mbps and 1.5. I would love to get my "outside" speeds inside. My 3g signal was always ok inside and great outside but 4g isn't very good inside. Depends on the construction I think, at work, inside, my 4g is good.

 

DAMN! Do you live next to a tower or something...lol.

 

oh yes T-T's speedtest numbers are awesome indeed!!!
Did you install a TRD-magic-equipment or something in there??

I was at the V-store earlier. Their demo Rezound in there was like -28 dBm (unbelievable!! That's like 20 bars!!). The next few phones (different brands/models) there were also super. Then I looked at my phone - nowhere as good as theirs. I was also comparing the hardware version and software version too - their Rezound and mine are the same exact revs. There i was puzzled!! Finally i got enough courage to unplug the USB power to their Rezound and plugged it into mine (wondering if they have some kind of magic juice in that USB/power cable ha ha)... didn't help either. So I finally asked their genius-tech guy there... he pointed to the ceiling and said the "white cones" (something like household smoke detectors) are signal repeaters!!! Their phones and repeaters must be coded... their secret sauce didn't happen on my phone ha ha. He also said if we think our signal is not good enough... go do the Airplane Mode to unhook the phone from the Verizon network, wait a few seconds, and then put it back into the normal mode so that the phone can reconnect itself to the V net (all this without rebooting that can take many minutes) Bye

 

I ran a few tests after stumbling across this thread. I started off in the basement and ran a few with 2 bars of signal. The last test I walked outside in the back yard and hit the 50 Mbps with 3 bars of signal.

 

I just got 7 dn & 12 up. Speeds vary wildly here in Houston. I've never gotten any thing like some of the speeds I see here with my Bolt and so far not on my Rez either. I think our speeds here should be blazing, like Race Director's

 

here are mine...

 

I swapped my nexus today for a rezound and got 40.5 mbps outside the mall where I swapped it! O_O

Also, in my in-laws' house where on the nexus I would drop from 2-3 bars of 4g to 1-2 bars of 3g, I still have 4g (dunno signal strength since gingerbread only shows cdma signal dBm) but I get 14 mbps 4g speeds on the rezound vs. 1 mbps 3g speeds on the be us. I'm a happy camper.

 

I hope you know what you are getting yourself into going from a Nexus phone to a htc phone.

Verizon Bloat
Sense Bloat
Sense
Worse Battery life
Unknown timeframe on software updates
Sense + Snapdragon = choppiness and lag


I'd give some more time on the signal issue you are having.

 

The thunderbolt doesn't equal all htc phones. This phone has the best battery life I have ever seen in a smartphone. It can already be debloated. Have not noticed any choppiness or lag. Most people like sense as it is polished and seems finished. Sounds like someone is in denial they bought the inferior phone. The nexus is inferior in every permanent way, all the benefits of the nexus are superficial and temporary.

 

I don't know where you got your info, but you need to use the Rezound before posting untruths. No bloat (thanks to CleanTool), better battery life than most smartphones (including Nexus), and absolutely ZERO lag or choppiness. Sense without the bloat is very smooth.
