Speedtest ping?

I should select the server in NY since I live in nyc right? Well I get horrible ping on both 3g and 4g and it lags a lot while DL'ing and UL'ing, but I get (relatively) good speeds at the end.
On my hero, speedtest gave ~30 ms ping but on the epic its 100-200....why?

Bump?

That said ping varies by how many hops you have to do, it is possible that something changed on the servers end or on sprints end as well, or your tower is using a different bandwidth provider..overall 100ms is not that bad...Its what I usually get on my TP2 as well..and I'm also in NY...
Only thing you can prob do is update your PRL maybe?

Speedtest '''

Just scored 0.12 mbps on download and 0.10 on upload.
How can I improve this ? Make my phone faster

going to need more info about your phone...ex...version,rooted or non rooted,any kernel...like that...

just did mine and it was 2.53 dl and 1.08 up...with nero3 beta...

...and are you using Speedtest to measure 3G or your wifi or what?
I'm sitting in my house right now in a major metropolitan area and the 3G speed on my stock Vibrant is about 4.2 Mbps down and 1.8 Mbps up. When I turn on the phone's wifi connection to my Fios network, I get about 22-24 Mbps down and about 3-4 Mbps up. If I move around or go outside, these speeds will vary.

It appears as though you have exceeded the 5gb data limit. After this billing cycle is over, your connection will return to normal.

Ya that might b it. I'll run it again when billing cycle ends
Thanks

You should know. You would have gotten a text.
Jesus...

Or you can reboot and try again. You also might be in an area with a high amount of data traffic. For example when i'm at disneyland, I get full bars but my data speeds are crazy slow. It's probably the same when at a sporting event. 40k people and at least half of them with smart phones trying to access the internets will cause a slow down. But like the other guys said, we're going to need more information.

Ditto, sounds like your being throttled. Try it on wifi. Remember, download **** on wifi if you can. Don't go rom crazy on 3G.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

Recently I was in phoenix and the 3g was full bars buy totally unreliable. I switched to edge and it was three times faster than hspa
You might want to switch to only gsm network and see if that helps

So if the phone can get those speeds over wifi would I get those speeds over 3g/4g if it were available?

No. The fastest you will see from this phone is a little over 5Mb's down (in near perfect conditions) and i'm not sure about upload but the fastest i've ever had was 1.8Mb up.

Even if it were available over the T-Mobile ? Why or why not...just trying to get a better understanding as to why over wifi and not over the network IF it were available

Agreed! The vibrant is not a HSPA+ device meaning it is not "4G"

kinda need more. did you have WAYY higher data speeds before? your problem could be 1 of 2 things...maybe both.
1)Bad coverage
2)data throttle
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872570
check my thread about a temporary fix for throttling. its just easy as changing the APNs. i'm working on a permanent fix by creating a services.jar mod,but its not working out so well.

This is ungodly slow? 4 speed

How are you getting that high of internet speeds using your FIOS network? I have FIOS 30Mbps download and 15Mbps upload, and the highest download speed I've gotten on my Vibrant is 13Mbps. I am using a D-Link Wireless N Router (2.4 and 5ghz) which consistently gives my wireless computers 30Mbps, but not my cell phone.
I'm curious to hear what radio you're using and your current setup (router, router settings, service plan, phone settings, etc). If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know what you're doing to get above 13Mbps on Wifi.

Just did mine in New Port Richey, Florida.
5.73 Mbps Download
1.48 Mbps Upload

I believe our phones are capable of 7.2Mbps download on our Hsdpa network connection. Most of the new t-mobile phones that are coming out are capable of about double the download and upload speeds that we can actually achieve.

poor data speeds

is this a general g2 problem or is tmo really terrible lately. i traded my hd2 for my g2 because i wanted 4g, otherwise i would have kept my hd2. but i rarely will see speeds over 0.30 mbps! and thats when on 3g. as well i never seem to get hspa+ in the 4g coverage area. (does android display hspa+ in the network info?)
is this a problem with my phone or radio?

Lol the orginal stock rom that come with the phone lies about 4g symbol. If you flash like cyan 7 for instance it will show you the correct symbol if it is really 4g/3g/2g. Oh yea flash a diffrent radio

Depends on your area really. I average 1.5 mps at home running 3G, but when I get near Houston I see a lot of H+ with speeds up to 9 mps. Oh, and I've tried every ROM save for a few of the Sense based ones and they all show G/E/3G or H. I've never seen an H+ symbol even when running obvious H+ speeds. I tried a sense ROM once and it would show me 3G+ when available, but that's it.

Lol because its base from a diffrent mobile company. T-mobile uses the H/H+ anyways at sandigio I get good signal at the most

I wonder why no H+ symbols in Houston then. I feel cheated. I want my + too haha.

If your rooted you can try flashing a different radio.

The H means hspa+. I live in austin texas and I always get H with speeds average at around 6Mbps. If anything I would say the G2 has pretty good reception. Reason being is, I had the same issue with poor data speeds becasuse my phone was trying to connect to a tower not even in my local market...I had bad data speeds but voice still had 4 bars. Call tmobile and make sure you aren't bouncing around towers

my phone is rooted. im running the evil's mytouch 4g rom.
this is on hsdpa network. what i hate is that my old hd2 runing android was getting about 1.2 mbps average and the hd2 is supposed to have data problems. so i assumed that when i switch to the g2 the speeds would be even faster(or at least the same), but instead the speeds are lower.

Speedtest

Why is my G2 getting 6 mbps on wifi while my mytouch 4G slide gets 19 mbps on the same wifi?
This seems weird because the G2 has hit 17+ mbps on other wifi anyone have any idea why its getting low speed compare to the slide?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

I have noticed my G2 not getting a full 12mbps from my wifi router that is 15 feet away it only gets like 8mbps or so, whereas the computer right next to the phone gets the full 12mbps - so I know just what you are referring to!
I have not yet figured out the cause myself

They were both next to the router tho the mytouch got 19mbps and the G2 got 6

Did your phones both connect to the same server when you performed the test? Perhaps that may have contributed to the difference in speed.

You misunderstood my post. Speedtest connects to a server usually hosted by a company somewhere nearby to perform the test, and the mobile app uses GPS to find the closest. Perhaps your phones connected to different servers for some reason. If you run a few more tests on both at different times of the day then you can rule it out.

Slowest Data Speeds on my Nexus 4

I have T-Mobile 30$ Prepaid plan with 5gb 4g data and then 3g unlimited plus 100 minutes. I have a download speed and upload speed of 100kb- 200kb. No idea why. I got higher scores on my Nexus One. coverage is perfect in my area. Is it my APN settings? I set it to IPV4/IPV6? Any help:laugh:

i've had this problem. you can check your apn settings here. but when i talked to customer support they pretty much told me if that's the speed it i get then they can't do anything about it. so if anyone else has any more info that'd be cool. :good:

Maybe u getting throttled?

I love my data speeds on T-Mobile monthly 4G...T-Mobile 3G is slow are you sure you can't get H (4G) in your area. Tmobile's 4G will actually only come on when data is being used. So I suggest browse the web for a little bit and when you see H come on then run a speedtest. But the phone idols at 3G and I didn't have to mess with any APN settings.
Edit: I am on the 70 dollar plan unlimited everything and no throttling.

No that's impossible... I only used 500mb so far...and I have a payment due in three days. I have H all the time. My iPhone 4 gets faster speeds...and that's stuck on 3G

What speeds were you getting with your Nexus One? And have you tested your WIFI speeds on your N4 are normal as you expect them to be?

Yeah they are. I got like 3-4 mpbs on my Nexus One as well as my iPhone 4. My Nexus 4 gets 200-300KB 3-5 bars H icon. I get my usual 15 mpbs on wifi so it cant be the radio on the phone..

is there a HSPA+ option that we could turn on and off. or is it when there is HSPA+ it automatically connect.

You can enter *#*#4636#*#* and change to WCDMA to GSM auto. See if that works. I have a nexus 4 and a contract plan with t mobile and I have HORRIBLE speeds. But yet good reception? Here's my screen shot
Look full bars and H

This is FULL reception. I know its tmobile because I get 12.00 Mbps for about 5min / 4 times a day, if I'm lucky

Even after a month i still have these issues. Is this a defect on the Nexus 4? I've had three replacements and it still persists.

No but what would that do xD?

Confirming that I'm having the same problem, on at&t. My Nexus 4 gets terrible speeds compared to my 850 Mhz Nexus One and my One S. Same SIM and APN on all of them.
It's also ridiculously slow to switch the data connection on (read: to show H+ in the status bar or start showing the up and down arrows.
