what i'm finding is LTE is so finicky.

i mean when i was at the ATT store in UC, the LTE speeds was like 20-30+Mbps...

then i walk out of the store. drive like to the UC CENT theaters, the speeds there drop like crazy...

oh well. i guess that is better than 3G...

Personally I think the LG G2X is one of the strongest phones with a Duo Core and Nvidia Tegra, I owned one for about 6months ran MaxPayne/GTA3/NOVA3 etc... very smoothly unfortunately I sold it 2 days ago and just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 still runs games like a charm (-:

And ive done speed tests within minutes of each other and have seen a difference of 10-15 MBps. Just depends on how many are using that bandwidth at the given time

slighty weird thing...

on the lockscreen of my S3, if i turn on the weather setting (SETTING -> SECURITY -> LOCK SCREEN OPTIONS -> WEATHER -> ON|OFF), it shows union city.

i'm in fremont.

i went and CLEARED data/cache/defaults from the WEATHER APP, WEATHER MAIN and even the WEATHER DAEMON.

but with i see the WEATHER widget with a blank screen and it says "LOCATING" it goes back and finds UNION CITY.

i live in ardenwood which is close to the border... well not that close, but i think something is wacky with the WEATHER database.

anyone else showing the right city (it should say default city in the WEATHER app) for your S3?

Not the S3, but when I had my HTC, I had this same issue. After having the same question as you, I read on google that the data they show is your nearest weather checker (where they have the temp guage, barometer, etc.). So maybe you may be inbetween 2 weather checking stations.

Although someone with better knowledge may know better. Im still a phone noob
