The EVDO on my hero is significantly slower than it was on my Touch Pro. I suppose the internet pages still load okay but especially when I use wi-fi tether it's much slower than it was on TP.
I've looked around the forums and searched and didn't see anyone else address this or post a fix. Has anyone else experience slower EVDO? Thanks

Thanks Flip, so it seems like an android issue and possibly not the phone? My friend has the same hero on same network and he also has same slowness so we figure it must be the software.
Do you experience this or know if this will be or is fixed in future 2.0 releases?

Just was checking some information since my phone seems to be running very slow in terms of internet and data sharing. I noticed that there is no setting at all for 1700mhz on my phone. Any ideas why?
Thank you all in advance

1700 is a band that it's programmed to use by default....what "settings" exactly are you looking to find/change?
Please do not open threads and then make the same posts in other threads (stuff like that will get you banned)
Your question was answered here:

1700 band.
The reason i had even looked at the settings, and the reg is that my data speeds are not all that great. And i was wondering of there was any way to improve upon that. Usually the best i can get is about .4Mb/s down and .05 up.
Today was the best i have gotten so far at .85 down and .09 up.
Even with .85 as an average of 3 tests the best download rate i have gotten is about 50-80k
Thanksin advance, and i apologize for the double posting.

There's really nothing you can do via reg to change the dl/ul speed of the phone when you're limited by the carrier and it's signal/infrastructure. .85Mbps is the avg for Tmobiles HSDPA so it sounds like you're in an area without HSDPA+. Once Tmobile upgrades your area to HSDPA+, it should improve.
The only thing that you can try and play with (and I doubt you'll see any improvements) is winmosettings>connections>connections>advanced>select networks> edit tmobile data/internet and change the access point name to one of the other ones (epc.tmobile.com, wap.voicestream.com, internet2.voicestream.com)
can someone please tell me about simplex wireless-n in general. just curious as to if it would benefit me in anyway. i do have a wireless n router as well as a g router bridged to it. i guess my question is what does for the phone.
i am also interested in the liberated b05 rom and would like to know more about it. i am currently running b03 and just wanting to see if their are any BIG differences between the two before i flash a new rom. keep in mind that i just want a working phone without too many bugs but i love new features!
and yea im a noob! so take it easy on me. just trying to learn this stuff. im going into computer programming specifically for phones and gadgets and such, so the more i can learn now the easier i will have it later. thanks for any imput
I will point you to the change log on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708434
As you have a wireless N router this will benefit you in a speed boost at home. Thought I believe that 5gz spectrum is not available just the 2.4gz? Anyway I run the b005 without any problems and it has proven a stable rom.
Cool thanks, I was aware of the change log. just wanted Some opinions.

I am not an expert but I believe the "wireless-n" means you get faster speeds, more bandwidth. Obviously just like your computer. The "simplex" part means that they have only been able to get this working in One direction. Either sending or receiving but not both at the same time. So in that respect it is not the same as a computer as that can do wireless-n in duplex. Still it should be a good boost in speed if you are downloading files, etc...
Can anyone confirm if they have a rock solid 3G/HSDPA data connection with HKCSL 1010 with any android builds? Please post APNs and radio/wm ROM/combinations if possible. It is nowhere near the speeds from my WM ROM from before but I just love the Android OS so much more as it's smoother and faster than any custom WM ROM's available. It runs great if it's on WI-FI, i just can't pay for my data connection and settle for a nice OS and almost 500Kbps data connection for now it's very frustrating and dissapointing since i'm in HKCSL 1010 NEXT G data plan..
I don't think the hardware supports TRUE HSDPA data

with latest builds, i have problem with bad signal reception... a have edge connection most of time.. i didn`t have this problem before... now in 4 builds i`ve tryied.. maybe it is because ppp?
Thanks for the replies guys but what do u mean true hsdpa? We are on a 3.5G network and also I see some other fellow users having 3g speeds of 3-5mbps which is super fast already. I have tried almost every rom out there and different barebone WM ROM as well but made no difference. Speeds are like GPRS slow! Tried PPP and RMNET but can't even tell a difference...sad as I can't use it with full potential.

3.5G with hkcsl1010 next G

Those numbers aren't exactly true as the browsing is slow as hell. I don't know how speedtest.net do it but it sure hell ain't that fast as it seems like it's constipated.
Most I get on every build I've tried is rough 0.33mbs connection, I've hit nothing over 45kb/s yet seem to be able to upload at over 70, that's on T-MOB UK, pain in the arse but I just try and stick to wifi, nothing I can figure out after swapping so many roms/radios/builds/modules etc etc etc!!!!
try out bangsters 1.4 (the latest i think) and edit the startup to PPP, used chuckyrom and 2.12 radio and seems like it's working pretty good. Not much constipation at all. Try it out and let me know. I only had wifi so couldn't check 3G speeds before (here in HK for trip now).
i am using darkstones desire hd build on o2 in the uk and currently get roughly 2meg down when connected to hsdpa

Still the same, I can't figure out the issue, only thing I can get it down to is something on T-MOBs end, but even that I don't know haha!!!!

Lei ho..
Please try my setup via my tag, I'm getting 2.3Mbit for download and 700kb for upstream..
BladeZ
Since moving to Android on HD2 from the myTouch Slide, my data speeds have oddly evened out.
Meaning, data speeds have increased in places I used to only get EDGE coverage at and decreased to about 2mbps where I used to get 4-5.
I just hopped on to this part of XDA but I've gathered that Android development has only been happening for about three months. That's nothing! Look at all the cool stuff people have done! I think it's only a matter of time before the radios and builds start jiving a bit better. I'm ultra happy with what I've got so far.

hi BladeZ, lei ho ah! Thanks for the advice. Just wondering if you are in HK and using the provider as me?

My speedtest results are good (~450-500 kB/sec down, 150 kB up) on 3g, but when I use the market, the speeds are much slower. Same with wifi: speedtest reports excellent results, but using market is slow.
Hi I just flashed back to a dutty's WM rom and the browsing speed is much more faster and consistant. The rom is fast but opera just isn't smooth at scrolling and the windows limitation of colors isn't as smooth either. There are always some good and bad for the 2. I miss android already...but until there is a fix for consistent 3G and hsdpa connection, it is not ready for primetime yet...just my personal opinion.

I'd have to agree unfortunately. Android's biggest weakness in my eyes is it's reliance on online connectivity. Nearly every app on Android needs to go online. So when the online connection is intermittent and unstable it makes Android virtually defunct.
for all the fellas having Data being slow....read on!
GUYS!!! been fiddling with this $hit long enough! Today, just found out why my provider and 3G speeds are so damn slow. I read up on other forums (not xda) and played with APN settings. Don't know if they were case sensitive or not, or whatever..but i simply put in my provider name "CSL", and APN as "internet" and leave EVERYTHING ELSE blank, i get a screaming fast connection. NO HICCUPS NO CONSTIPATION. TRY IT!!! Don't input all those garbage numbers as it just confuses you! ONE thing though, you will not be able to access WAP I believe but i don't use it anyways. I have a LIMITED data plan and all this testing been taking up my 500MB quota already so I won't even bother with the speedtest process anymore. GOOD LUCK and please report back guys!
I m getting speeds upto 2.6 mbps download and upload 500 kbps with desire hd rom..2.14 radio..energy Rom in winmo..

Try surfing to secure sites...that speedtest doesn't mean much if your provider restricts you from certain secure sites. Let me know.

So since my N7 doesn't have WAN connectivity, I'm trying to play with any/all apps that take advantage of anything wireless. I know there's the standard NFC, BT, WiFi apps, but I recently learned of this new thing called WiFi Direct. Does anyone know of any apps that use this new technology? I came across one which I posted about here, which I thought was really cool so i'm looking for other apps that use this kind of wireless P2P connectivity. Anyone know of anything else besides Tapestry?

Nothing? There's really only one app in the Android world that uses WiFi Direct? Either these guys are onto something or they're screwed!
Wi-Fi Direct is just beginning to get places, it seems. I know it's a feature that Miracast will utilize when it comes out in a few months, and most of "smart"/wifi tvs will be compatible with it.
But who knows?
-Ara
WiFi Direct is already supported in many connected TV's today...its just that CE companies do a poor job productizing it, and advertising it.
if you want to connect from android device to android device for transmitting media, check this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot
different from tapstry (that is a presentation app) WiFi Shoot is a direct share app, and works with ICS.
this was developed by yours truly, and I developed it exactly because I noticed there was nothing out there for WiFi Direct
I tested it between Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, Asus TF300 and Galaxy SII (stock ICS) and all worked fine.
The most problematic of those were the Galaxy Nexus that not always want to connect, but between N7-GalaxySII was flawless.
At the moment the app just works for photo and video but I'll be expanding more, if you guys fancy helping spreading the word about it, I'm really looking forward to see the downloads explode on it.
Hi guys,
is anyone with interested in beta test my WiFi Direct app?
I started a new thread in the development section asking for Logcats if you're experiencing force close.
Also it's a cut down version of the .apk there to test part of the system.

can't wait to be able to share files, I like sideloading apk "not compatible" to my other devices and it's a pain uploading/downloading to device and sometimes the network is slow, so it's a hassle. hope this solves it, I have 5 devices I am testing this app currently.

Anyone else worried about this? Has anyone seen these issues? Do you think Google will offer a solution?
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/2...-blame-the-encryption-that-you-cant-turn-off/
Just use the posted fix to turn it off.
+1 to what gtalum said. Just flash the custom kernel to disable encryption by default. I feel that Google should allow users to opt out of encryption or to leave it for by default similar to how they've done it in the past.
It'll be interesting if someone compared the iPhone encryption on vs off since no one mentioned about the speeds.

iPhones use hardware encryption and have a dedicated chip for it, so the change is negligible.
That Google is using software encryption and leaving no official means to turn it off is puzzling and annoying.
