Is there a location we can go to to see if Cricket supports evdo revA in our markets? I get the symbol for 1X with a download speed of 932 kbs today. I guess another question is is there something we have to do to get revA? I am using DCD 3.2.6 with the data cab installed
Thanks
I would look at their coverage map. I am in the Portland OR area and it says that we are on a 3G broadband network. Makes sense as that is what my Motorola phone says "3G". You can always chat with their help desk. Maybe they might know, (good luck).
I am connected to T-Mobile Internet (HSDPA) and I ran a speed test at www.dslreports.com/mspeed but I only got 395kbps, 0.324s latency. Why so slow?
That speedtester is rubbish - I once got 250k on wifi.

can you recommend a better one?
i've just found out that t-mobile doesn't activate HSDPA unless you call up CS and ask them to enable it. some people have been told that you have to be on web n walk pro to have HSDPA whereas others have had it added free of charge.
http://www.3g.co.uk/3GForum/archive/index.php/t-45508.html
but one thing is still confusing me... the H is displayed at the top of my screen when I use the data connection. and when I click on it it actually says HSDPA. what's going on?
try http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html via your laptop. much better and accurate
if you have the H - then you are def on it. If it was just 3G it would say 3G. But bare in mind that T Mobile HSDPA has been dreadful for nearly a month. It gets so bad that I am considering asking them to release me from contract for violating terms of service. I pay for HSDPA as advertised and I dont get it.
I had web&walk previously and I managed to get full speeds for a while. Once I have reduced my call plan(not data) the speeds were down to 300kbps and less. On these occations, I would still see H as the indication but sure they were capping it on the network.
reopening old thread
I've got H and my provider allows speed up to 7.2/2mbps, but for long time (few months) testing I never get speed higher than about 2.4/0.3 Mbps. I've tested on computers via USB cable and on two different locations both about 500m from antenna.
My provider say that I have all set up correctly and doesn't know why speed is 'so slow'.

Which provider? Mobitel or Si.mobil? I have Mobitel, and it's true, that it isn't always as fast as it should be - in centre of capital city...
My ISP is T2, unlimited for 10€. It's not listed on this forum settings dropdown menu
What max speed do you get with Mobitel provider and HTC HD

Nearly everywhere 7.2mbit hspa is a myth - the only way you can get it is if nobody else is using the celltower.
A very reliable speed test application is: http:www.mobilespeedtest.com.
The dsl.reports app (on my HD) provides non accurate results.
The more people using a HSDPA or 3G celltower - the slower your speeds get.
Trust me - I've done all the testing from a corporate perspective - HSDPA 7.2 is a myth - you'll never get that speed - its more like 3.2mb/s MAX!. On 3G the average bandwith is about 300kb/s - but only on a good day.

I'll test and report tonight, when I'm on a good HSDPA signal covarage!
yo compatriot , have you manage to test the speed yet?
With www.mobilespeedtest.com it managed to get 3Mbit downstream in Ljubljana-Vič, haven't tried Centre yet. For normal browsing and download of some small files it's ok. I'll report if I get better bandwidth!
With www.mobilespeedtest.com:
- I get a 2.37 Mbps speed test result on the 3 MB file(biggest) while connected from my mobile to a HSDPA 3.6 network which allows for a max 1.1 Mbps speed.
- I get a 2.4 Mbps speed test result from my computer while connected on a 15 Mbps ADSL - yes - I do 1.7 MBytes/sec transfers all the time - careful at the units of measurement!
- on smaller than 3 MBytes file size, the results are just random
www.mobilespeedtest.com is FAKE
The flow of the web pages has been so severely thrashed by ISP filters its not reliable to real testing anymore.
Stop.Calling.Any.Web page.A.Speed.Test.
Ping flood is designed for real measuring a line speed, but most ISPs have scripts which will ban you automatically if you sent packets faster than with a delay of 0.02 seconds. That is because is too much prone to abuse.
Hi, I recently turned off HSDPA/HSUPA in Advanced Networks settings. Now my phone displays 3G most of the time. What speed am I really receiving with 3G being displayed. Running DSL Mspeed I seem to get 60-95kbs with the 3G displayed. Is it really Edge performance with 3G being sent by AT&T? I did this change to see if battery performance will increase.
speed really depends from your location and what your provider allows/provides.
anyways, with 3G I think the max you can get is round 2mbps, going up to 7.2mbps if you switch on hsdpa.
but as I say, all depends of your provider, in mine, I get more speed with hsdpa enabled
check the speed with H and compare yourself.
if you wana save battery switch to G/E and be sure to disable data conection once you're done using it
Thanks, I was really trying to find out if 3G was just a push by AT&T and not by a provider. Guess I can try a t mobile SIM and see what they push, since this phone does not have 1700 - 2100 combo.
With H enabled for both ( up/down ) its 1100kbs minimum.
With H disabled it's 95 max on 3G.
I don't see E too much but it;s about the same as 3G. Is there a cap/limit for E speeds?
I can't test this on tmobile since that SIM account does not have Internet access.
i have a x1i on tmobile. what site are u checking speeds at? i was thinking about switching to att for 3g but if the speeds are not that much faster i'll just stick to tmobile.
With ATT in Los Angeles area.
X1i
E: Max Appx 300-400k/s
H: Max Appx 600-1300k/s
I was going thru my girlfriends phone tonight and i was curious under that mobile network settings. what is the difference between "Hybrid"..."EVDO-Only"...."1x-Only"?? Just wondering what should i have it set on and the difference between them? thanks and the phone is rooted with modaco 1.1 ROM
evdo is data and 1x-only is voice i think keep it in hybrid
Noo... Ev-DO is like 3G speeds... 1x-Only is kinda like GPRS speeds... if you have it in Hybrid that means if it doesn't have an Ev-DO connection, it will fallback to 1x speeds. If you have it in 1x-Only, you won't get Ev-DO even when you are in an area with Ev-DO. SOrry for my explanation nif it's crappy... it's like 12:30 P.M right now (or A.M/ idk im really tired i can't think )
hi all, just got my hd2 and i am blown away. I thought my 2.5 year old advantage 7500 was something, this is just another universe.
i am in USA and have AT&T and mobile speedtest gives me dial up speeds, 45-70kbps
the indicator has an E and I do have a good signal.
sorry for sounding newbie, but where to start fixing this?
also, tip...
found this and it worked amazingly

Speed Up Web Page Loading Considerably
The following registry tweak will enable almost instantaneous web page loading in the web browser. It apparently enables wireless N mode but seems to work with cellular data too. Go to:
HKLM/Comm/BCMSDDHD1/Parms

today on a road trip I got as high as 172kbps and as low as 24kbps.
Help needed
I'm in Richmond VA and am currently only running on AT&T EDGE due to no 850 3G. I took a trip up to Baltimore and was running on H from about 20 miles north of Richmond to Baltimore.. I noticed that my speeds weren't impressive running mobilespeedtest and dslreports. I was getting between 450kbps and 750kbps consistently from Northern Virginia to Baltimore. Seems very low considering I had my wifes Iphone next to me running the speed tests consecutively and was getting 1200- 1400 kbps. My question is, do I have anything setup wrong as far as proxy settings? I haven't changed anything from my automatic configuration settings. I am running 2.10.531.7 Artemis 9.0 WWE and Radio 2.09.50.29_2. My signal shows 4 bars strong w/ no drop out. Anyone w/ any input would help greatly.
Anyone have some input?
anyone have some input?
I am on AT&T in Florida with a T9193 and so I do
get full H speeds all of the time. When I read about using Edge speeds I ran a test to see what I got. My input to you is that using Opera Mini 5 and Skyfire my speeds on Edge were very near to the H speeds for downloading a 2 meg jpg from my ftp site. Opera 9.7 and Explorer were three times as slow. Might try the test yourself.
