copperhead Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I've got a Nexus 4 on T-Mobile. I've got a ROM on it that opens up the LTE radio. Normally at my house I'm stuck on Edge (E) but lately its been showing a G for the network. Anyone know what network that is? HSPA shows as H, HSPA+ as H+, and of course LTE is LTE. But I have no clue what the G might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Gangster? I have no idea. Gprs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Isn't GPRS the network shittier than Edge? And I thought that network shows as O, but I could be wrong. It actually seems to get slightly faster data on G than on E, although at turtle speed its hard to tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 G is 2G and I hate it. Although I now know what E means, thank you. I still hate it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasuna Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Your on GPRS, Which is pretty slow, is there no 4g LTE coverage at your home? Are your APN settings properly entered? I get this all the time at work. Your APN settings should be fast.t-mobile.com MMSC = http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc MCC = 310 MNC = 260 APN type = default, supl, mms APN protocol = IPv4/IPv6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 APN is correct, I live out in Licking county. I get LTE if I drive 8 minutes. So G is GPRS for sure? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Packet_Radio_Service Going off this page it looks like GPRS is actually way slower than Edge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_device_bit_rates Although, that list shows 1xEV-DO as being capable of being pretty fast, but on Sprint it's completely unusable. I just hope within 10 years all the cell companies will have moved everything to LTE and just shut down all the old bands in order to free up spectrum.
