Did anyone else notice this registry entry?
[HKLM\Comm\TIACXWLN1\Params]
"EnableElpMode"=dword:00000000
If I'm not mistaken, the TyTn has a TI ACX100 WiFi chip, and this chip has TI's "Enhanced Low Power(tm) Technology". I've enabled it on my TyTn, and so far it seems to do no harm. I'll have to see if my battery power improves over the next week.
Correction...
Ah, the htc TyTn has TI's TNETW1250 chip. My mistake.
In any case, I think the EnableElpMode (if it really does work) would be a good thing. Also, I've seen a few webpages suggesting an additional key:
"dot11SupportedRateMaskG"=dword:00000008
Apparently this key tells the driver it's okay to do any 802.11g speed. I'm going to go find out!
let us know how it goes....
1st set of test results
First, I should detail the equipment I'm using.
My wifi router: D-Link 624.
My phone: htc TyTn, QTEK ROM 1.35.255.2 (Radio 1.18.00.10)
My laptop: IBM Thinkpad T22, w/ Hawking Techmologies HWC54D wifi card, Win2k.
My PC: P4 2.4GHz, asus P4P800 (has Gb lan), WinXP.
Results so far: (using http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest, and sitting right next to my DI624)
PC: 5.3 Mb/s
Laptop (w/wifi): 3.4 Mb/s
TyTn: ~250 kb/s
Notes:
In one test I set the DI624 to use 802.11g only. Without any registry tweaks, the TyTn connected up just fine. Therefore, I suspect that the dot11SupportedRateMaskG key is no longer needed.
Curious to see if I could boost the TyTn's wifi speed, I began fiddling with all of the different registry settings under that heading (listed above). The wifi speed always hovered in the 250 kb/s range. It seems as though none of those settings significantly changed the wifi speed.
There was one key that did make a big difference in the time it take to actually connect up to the wifi router. Setting "dot11ShortPreambleInvoked" to 1 greatly sped up the time from wifi-off to wifi-connected-and-ready. (My DI624 was also configured for a short preamble.) Without the short preamble, it was taking between 10-30 seconds for the TyTn to connect up. With the short preamble it's between 5-10 seconds.
(Side note: The "Testmode" key didn't seem to do anything - at least I didn't see any difference when I set that to 1.)
One other key that did make a small difference:
[HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\Params]
"TCPWindowSize"=65536
I played around with this key, and it seems like setting it to 4096 "optimized" it just a bit. I got around 270 kb/s with that setting. Setting it bigger (say, 256k) slowed things down (~240 kb/s), while setting it smaller (say, 1k) really slowed things down (~170 kb/s!).
I'm going to continue fiddling around with the settings and report back again. It just seems to me that the TyTn should be able to achieve a wifi speed at least above 1 Mb/s. I would appreciate it if everyone else would check their wifi speed and post the results here as well.
p.s. If anyone knows of a PocketPC utility that can show detailed wifi connection information (such as speed, frequency, protocol, etc.) please let me know!
250 kpbs, that cant be correct? can it?
that would mean that HSDPA is faster than hermes wifi? I will test mine when my wife gives it back to me, im grounded for the holiday season. lol
something is terribly wrong here......
yes, there is something wrong here... I think you need to turn on flight mode before you run your wireless test again, and here is why... On my phone i have my data connection set to always on. If i turn on wifi then my data connection doesnt disconnect and will result in low speeds since its not using the wifi. If i turn mine on flight mode then run tests then everything is good. Here is my results using the same site as the OP
PC = 1.9
phone = 1.4
I am using a 3meg adsl pipe with a wireless SMC router with mac filtering, regular wep, and a static set up on the LAN side.
Progress!
I changed my wifi speed test to: http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed
Surprisingly, that speed test reported 1647 kb/s for my TyTn!
Fiddling with the TCPWindowSize value, it seems that 64k is optimum - well, at least with the dslreports test.
i usually use dsl reports, but i wanted to maintain some kind of constant for your testing
Wireless settings / b-g connections
Hi, I;ve just got a TyTn but it won't connect to my Netgear 802.11g router?? Is it b-only? Is there a hack (like for the Universal) which would enable me to connect to g networks? Would I still be able to connect to b-networks?
Thanks!

My TyTn is fairly new (bought last month) and I can configure my DI624 to 802.11g only, and connect up just fine. What ROM version does your TyTn have? I'm on the QTEK 1.35.255.2 ROM. If you TyTn is right-out-of-the-box, it's probably got the QTEK 1.18.xxx.x. If that's so, you should consider unlocking it and upgrading it to one of the latest ROMs.

The htc TyTn (Hermes) has the TI TNETW1250 wifi chip. This chip is 802.11g capable.

You can try adding this registry key (although I'm not sure it will do anything on the TyTn):
[HKLM\Comm\TIACXWLN1\Params]
"dot11SupportedRateMaskG"=dword:00000008

Yes. Wifi chips that support 802.11g always support 802.11b (AFAIK).
Good luck!

Yeah, after checking out several speed test websites, I'm beginning to doubt the one on bandwidthplace. Actually, while testing out several other speed test websites using my PC, I've gotten a smattering of different speeds reported. Most seemed to be within reason and about what I expected, but a few were either obviously too slow or absurdly too high. (Ony reported above 100 Mb/s downstream, even though my cable modem is a DCM-202!) The dslreport site seemed to be believable to me, so I'm sticking with it for now.
If it makes you feel better i work for AT&T in the DSL maintenance department and have for 6 years.. anytime i have anyone that reports slow speed issues i always take them to dslreports and use those speedtests.. they seem to be the most reliable that i have found..
Okay, I'll trust dslreports' speed test then!
So now the question is: Does a wifi speed of ~1600 kb/s sound "right" for the TyTn?
What makes me wonder is that when I run the dslreports speed test on my laptop via wifi, I get ~3.2 Mb/s. So I know my DI624 can pump out the bits! (Well, for 802.11g's max of 54 Mb/s, that's still kinna lame.)
I've pretty much exhausted all of the registry settings I can find. Got any others I can/should look into?
there are other things you need to take into account, the processor, the amount of ram, etc.. when you run a speed test it rely's on your pc to process the information as it comes down the pipe... if you really wanted to test it you could build a pc that resembled the phones specs and run a speed test and see what you get.. i would make a bet that it would resemble the same results

Is 1.6 Mb/s the best TyTn can do?
Well I've fiddled with all the registry settings I could possibly fiddle with, and dslreports won't show anything above 1.6 Mb/s for on my TyTn (using PIE).
Has anyone gotten anything higher with their TyTn?
hi folks, i dnload youtube clips at only 40kb/s using touch hd on a 3 MB broadband speed on a TOUCH HD
my colleague using the diamond dnloads at 80kb/s.
(NOTE: same connection for both HD and diamond)
both set to best performance wifi.
using W.V.D as client to dnload.
question 1 ) why is it that the touch hd dnloads so slow compare to daimond?
question 2 ) what is "best perfomance and wat is best battery life?
WIFI speeds on HD slow compare to 3G
Yes, I did experience slow wifi speeds via three different 5Mb/sec ADSL routers. I did configure the HD's registry and the routers to to operate on 54Mb/s. I did try to use different wifi channels (to avoid interference). I did try WMM support, I am was in sight of the routers' antennas (not too close), to no avail. The speeds I measured (using dslreports and pocketspeed) were at most 150-200 kbs.
3G (HSDPA) shows sppeds up to 1200kbs.
Please advice

I did configure this patch (and more) a long time ago, but still the wifi speed is LOW
from pocketnow :
Note: you need to connect to an 802.11g enabled access point in order to achieve these results. Connecting to a 802.11b will not benefit from any speed increase as "g mode" needs to be supported on both ends.
above sentence i do not get it.. can someone explain?
Sorry is this sounds stupid but how come the wifi speeds on the hero suck, i have 24mb down and 3mb up and my phone only can pick up 1.50mb down and 1mb up? Like is this the standard for phones or something? Shouldnt they be able to handle way faster wifi speeds? I read something a while back how some kid hacked the nexus one to run wireless n drivers i dont know how true that was but he had a video to back it up so idk it seemed pretty legit to me. Is there anything i can do to increase wifi speeds because its about the same as running on evdo and that sucks donkey d**k. any responses are kool
Nexus One learns wireless n
UPDATE: Well i figured out why my wifi was only pulling only 1mb down on my hero it was because my routers settings were at wireless b only and b is old technology, so i changed my routers signal to wireless g and it jumped from 1mb to now its 5mb down. Problem solved...
Is 24 down/3 up your rated internet connection speed? Because I think you can really only get that kind of speed through a wired ethernet connection... wifi speeds cap out much earlier, even though routers might say 54 Mb/s ... which translates to ~6.75 MB/s, they never ever get that high in my experience. Note the different between Megabytes and Megabits. 8 bits = 1 byte.
TBH it sounds like you may have maxed out your wifi speed, depending on your wifi signal.

most of what you said is true. however you can get much faster out of a wireless router. I have seen up to 30mb out of a wireless router. that being said. depending on your signal strength to your router you may experience slow downs as the router resends packets that either get corrupted or never make it due to interference and/or attenuation.
i have experienced the same thing. i use my laptop wifi and my phone wifi within inches of each other and have widely different speed test results. no idea why unless there is either a restriction or limitation with the phones driver/chipset
ok not trying to be rude or anything but i dont think u guys are reading correctly; my internet that i pay for is 24mb and 3mb up, wireless with my laptop since its wireless N is about 18mb down and 2mb up, but im referring to MY PHONE (HERO), i know speeds are faster on ethernet but how am i going to plug my hero via ethernet? that what i was asking, my question was why does my phone only connect up to 1.50 mb out of whatever my max speed is, is that all the hero can handle is 1.50mb? I guess the title was misleading cause it said faster wifi speeds and not faster HERO wifi speeds but i corrected it but thanks for ur responses guys
What site are you using to check your speeds? If it's speedtest.net then you may have it set to megabytes instead of megabits. If my math is right (don't count on it being anywhere close) then your differences in speed could be blamed on that.
I don't know of any way to "make it faster" besides moving closer to the router.
Off-Topic: My sig has my speed at OSU and its via wi-fi. I've had double that when not at peak times.

there is a speedtest.net app in the android market and u can test ur speeds, my hero can only pick up 1.5mb down out of my 24mb max speed.
i am in same ...
get about 2MB up and 1MB down.
My speculation:
I think it is the HERO ..
it is capped
or it can only process the Data coming in.. at a slower speed.
raido or CPU or the combination

How did you change the router settings to g from b?

My down is .7 Mb and up is 2.5 Mb, I know way backwards! It dont matter what sever I use either, my router is set to G only, I even tried B and mixed, lol. I only pay for 12 down and 2 up, dang near exactly what I get on my PC, my hero just lags Runs same on wifi as it does on 3G both results are dang near the same!

This is working for you all, why isnt it working for me?

It didnt help my ol' hero Still got .7 Mb for down and 2.5 Mb for up. Totally backwards!
Did u try hitting apply in your router settings before u left the web page and waited for the page to close then try powering down ur router and powering it back up after waiting 3 to 5 min but this step you only need to do if you changed the router settings via wireless meaning if your changing your wireless settings while being connected to your wireless network IMO always changes ur router settings via landline and don't forget to hit apply if you didn't already do so just something to try hope it helps good luck

Yes, it was originally set to both B and G, this is a issue I have been having for a while now. I just never posted it, now that I seen this thread I decided to follow i and try whatever was recommended. My laptop gets the 12 down and same 2.5 up as my phone, just my phone only gets .7 Mb down. I have tried several servers, ran same servers as my laptop watching it pull 12 down and the hero .7 Is there a setting somewhere that is making me lag? I am using same kernels as everyone else, its been the same with all of them though
In cm6 settings / wifi setting wen u get there push the menu and go to advance wireless settings and select regulatory domains and try a different channel its set to 11 by default try that and hopefully that helps good luck oh and you might wanna go and pick up a new router or update ur current drivers on your existing one also take ur hero to a different wifi connection and test ur ul/dl speeds hope this helps

It's not the phone dude you need to get into your routers settings and make sure its set to g only if you are getting .7 dwn something is terribly wrong man. What kind of router do you have? For example if its a linksys Google linksys login the model number and it will tell you how to login. The Linksys gateway is usually 192.168.1.1 is how you login. Also Firefox and Google chrome don't usually play nice with intranet try using internet explorer to do this. I have a netgear router and to login its www.mywifiext.net. let me know details maybe I can help you
I have no problems accessing my router settings. I dud a little testing, swapping rom's and kernels. I found it to be a kernel issue. Running BFS #14 is .7 down. Switching to CFS kernel I pull the 2.5 down. So I tried BFS #13, same issue. I posted in the kernel thread and didn't get any response. The posts get buried pretty fast in that thread. My phone does better with the BFS kernels, besides the wifi issue. What if anything can be echo into kernel to fix this? Or can someone else flash BFS and confirm please.

I'm running bfs right now and I get 5.5mb dwn and 1.5mb up and I switched back to stable same thing. It can't be your kernel man that's almost I'm possible. How about you flash the same rom you are already on right on top of your current rom to reflash the default kernel image back on your phone and run the speed test app on your phone then run speed test.net in your browser to see your scores. If you are not on wifi your connection wont be all that great I can barely get 1mb dwn sometimes when on evdo but once I jump on wifi I get 5mb dwn and its same for me with bfs and cfs kernel I just tested it. I'm not sure I understand your problem correctly. I posted this thread because while on WIFI my wireless router was set to wireless b settings which was only allowing my phone to pull 1mb dwn on WIFI which was crazy to me cause I have 24mb dwn internet package. Our heroes only can really pull about 6 or 7mb dwn at the maximum. So changing settings in my router fixed that for me.
I am having a totally different issue than you were, both were slow down speeds, I was just hoping mine would be fixed the sane way yours was. My down speeds are not only slow at my home, but everywhere. McDonald, Starbucks, unsecured routers. BFS with any rom only gives me 0.7 Mb download while in wifi. If I run CFS my download improve to 2.5 Mb, that is my wifi. I haven't tested outside of my network with the CFS kernel. I feel speeds would increase where they can with CFS though. I have no clue what can be causing this, it's the sane on all roms, aosp, extremely blue, cm6.1, cm6.0

Is there any way to see if the wifi is connected via b,g,or n?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It will connect via G if the router is G or N it will connect via B if the router is B. The Evo is capable of N but I believe you have to install the N hack in order for it to work. I don't now if any rom builders include the wireless N hack in their roms or not.
if you load a ROM that is 2.2 Froyo, its has the feature built-in, no hack neccessary.
It doesn't specifically state the type, but when you go to wifi settings and click the network you're connected to it will list the speed of the connection, which can help you determine what kind of network it is.
802.11B - 11 Mbit/s
802.11G - 54 Mbit/s
802.11N - ~160 Mbit/s

Actually, depending on the 802.11n network, it may say only 65Mbps.
True, perhaps a better indication of "N" would be to say >54 Mbit/sec.
I rarely get more than 65 Mbit/sec on my Netgear access point at home, but the fact it's more than 54 indicates it is operating on "N".

The phone doesn't allow a connection over 65mbits. I have multiple wireless N routers and have never seen a connection greater than that. It gets kinda annoying. My internet has peaks faster than that lol. I get peaks up to 100mbit on my comcast connection and a constant 50mbits that sometimes i dont even get on my phone. Granted it only matters while downloading roms and other larger files lol. Or transferring movies to and fro for my kids to watch on roadtrips and such.
I have netgear with both the g and n radios and my evolution only finds the g. I am runnind ultimate Droid. Where can one find this n hack?
Stop running a KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGED ROM, and get CM6.1 or a stock Froyo ROM.
Guys
I have not been able to stream 5 secs of the transformer video or any youtube video without significant stutter and lag. I have plenty of speed with my home wifi as far as i know. I have 20+mbs with Comcast and never have issues with my wifi.
what could be wrong...is it my N7 or my router?
I'm so happy someone else has this issue. Well not happy but happy to know I'm not the only one. I have 30+ download on my home WiFi and it lags when I try to watch YouTube also. Its very annoying. It can't be my WiFi because I have tried several other devices and they work great. Hopefully an update will come and fix soon because I'm an avid youtuber. But yeah your not the only one man.

try do a speed test see what's the through put you get on your device. Also, in the wifi setting, see at what speed you are connecting to your wifi router.
Speed test is 27mbps and my WiFi settings speed is 54mbps. I don't see a problem?

yea, doesn't seem like any problem with your connection. Did you try streaming via other apps such as hulu or only lags in youtube?
Some thing you can try:
1. wipe youtube memory and try it again. You can even try uninstall it and download a fresh copy from the market. If still lags, try #2
2. install the flash apk and try streaming youtube via another browser such as Dolphin HD and see how it works out.
what would you suggest I use for a speed test?

If that's the speed you are getting through a router then there is a problem, perhaps router related.
Go to wifi setting on N7, tap on your current wifi connection, it should tell you the speed you are connected. Ideally it should be 54mbps or higher depend on your setup, but based on your numbers it seems it's connected at much lower speed, below 15mbps I'd guess. My 3g dl speed is even higher than that.
use your phone or another wifi device to do a speed test again, if similar low number then check your router's wifi configuraiton or change a router.
Last night I was on Netflix watching Weeds and the only time there were any hiccups was at the beginning of the episode when Netflix was adjusting the quality to my internet connection. By the end of the theme song there was no noticeable stutters and I believe it had upgraded to HD 720p. So Netflix seems to not be a problem.

My Cell phone HTC One S is even worse on wifi....352 kbps DL speeds.
I have a pretty new router. this doesn't make sense to me.
I just noticed the cap-out link speed of 65Mbps too. The manual says that the N7 is 802.11b/g/n capabile, so I figured I should see at least 150Mbps (if not 300Mbps like my laptop).
Anyone else noticing this low cap-out? Is this a software issue of the N7 or a hardware issue that I should have my unit exchanged for?

Something is definitely wrong with your wifi router.

Normal G router will have max of 54mbps so looks like you have a N router since you are connected at 65Mbps. Some wireless N router can only output 150mbps and some will do 300mbps. Most of modern mobile device's wifi N adapter is only rated up to 150mbps however. 65mpbs is really on the low side for N network but still sufficient unless you wish to do a lot streaming withing your own network. Keep in mind that, if you have both G and N wireless device connected to your router at the same time, the link speed will be reduced depend on your router's configuration.

I have verified that I can connect to the router\access points in my place at speeds between 242-300Mbps no problem. I have no G devices connected. It appears that the N7 is capping out a 65Mbps.
My question was whether anyone else (other than Rugged96 and myself) is seeing this in their WiFi connection info?

I guess N7 will have a max of 65mbps just like most of the phones out today mainly due to the single antenna. To get higher N speed you need multiple antennas (MIMO)
I won't be able to deconstruct my router until later tonight. I am working from home and need to stay focused....

So it is a limitation of the physical hardware...That is good to know. I was worried that something was wrong with my tablet.
Thanks!
Man that is BS!!!! Your telling Me I can't watch an HD movie on YouTube because the tablet went let me??? Why do they even have the option to go HD then? My internet pushes out 35mbps. That should be more then enough to run HD.

No problems here. Watched transformers Friday night with no problem. Sunday my wife used the timewarner app to watch NASCAR. I have even used the watch ESPN with no problems tethering from HOX. Not saying its not your N7 but it sounds like a problem with your network. Unplug cable modem for a min or do a reset through the GUI. Maybe reset the router while at it.
