44-45 kb/sec 3G/HSDPA speed!!!

Guys i've tried everything, APN settings, Build.prop file mods etc ...
but my download speed remains at 44-45 kb/sec!!!
someone please help, I've tried posting this in the rom thread too ...
regards.

helps if you tell us what network you are using

Yes your network may be restricting your quality of service (qos) to that level
I only get 3G not HSPDA on Virgin and I checked its a qos issue - working on them, but they are very slow getting back

the thing is I got HSDPA speeds on winmo 6.5, and it was reasonably fast, 45 kb/sec is riddiculously slow ... plus the H icon also shows up when I use Android also 45 kb/sec is well below 3G speeds ...
I dunno whats going on, but I'll speak to T-mobile anyway and see what excuse they come up with ...

how long have you had the plan? they do speed limit the newer users

[Q] Sim card with Data in India

I'm traveling to India (specifically Delhi, Udaipur, Jaipur and Agra). I'm planning on getting a local sim to put into my unlocked TMobile G2. My primary usage is going to be data. Does anyone know which mobile operator offers the best data speeds with the G2 in India?
Not that it should matter, I'm running CM6.1.1

CM6!!!! what. Get on that CM7 bro
Sorry don't know much about India's mobile operators.

Okay, okay you convinced me. I upgraded to cm7. I had been having problems with it hanging at the cyanogen screen on bootup but I actually spent the 15 minutes figuring out how to fix the problem and now I've upgraded.
Anybody got a clue on my original question about data carriers in India? Does anyone in india use a Desire Z or G2?

If it is town area or highways, better go with AirTel, They have the good coverage.
If remote, you can try vodafone, or BSNLor MTNL (the have most coverage).
I dunno about other operators coverage, like TATA Docomo or Reliance.
2G data is cheap in India, for airtel ucan get 2GB at Rs.98 (~2$) and 4GB for the same in TATA Docomo.
3G is just introduced in last december, so few data plans an coverage also.
Not all operaors have 3G coverage in all areas,,only BSNL has dat in all circles.
You can check bsnl.co.in for 3G tariffs.

Cool. Thanks for the information!

3G speed tweek

Found this thread which has a tweak to increase 3G speed drastically and 2G also...do check its really good for our O1.

XDA ROCKS!!!

The speed is limited by the technology... you can't get 10Mbps on 2G, because what you have to do is connect 100 antennas to the phone, and each one with 2G speed... you can't have 3G speeds on 2G!! That just means you are on 3G, but phone says 3G
For example, here, at home, I get 1 kbps speed, because of low signal, and no script can make the signal better...
To put it simple: it is like putting our phone on 1GHz, considering edge is an overclocked gprs it's like fooling a server to send data at 2x the speed it is capable of, without extra hardware... it is just placebo, or some stupid indian providers that need hacks to provide maximum speed (like Vodafone RO was for a few years, it had support for HSDPA, but no more than 30 KB/s)

u dont understand it...
3g on 2g in india means that suppose u pay 2$ to get 2g speed internet(i.e edge or gprs)... but when u put ur phone in wcdma mode only then edge or gprs will not be available and server will be forced to provide internet through HSPA...
so what that means is.. if server is loopholed then u might even be getting 3g speeds which u didnt pay for...

To use free 3g on 2g we need a 2g sim or we have to convert it to 3g?

this technique doesn't work with every provider eg. this works with bsnl, !dea, vodafone etc...but doesn't work on Airtel...
> and if this thing works on ur provider, u don't need to have a 3G sim...

Sorry but there is a simpler and effective way try it just press *#*#4636#*#* and select network mode as wcdma only.

Hello u can still get 3g speed in Chennai,I still get it.all you have to do is after running the script mentioned in this thread reboot ur phone and dial *#*#4636#*#* and change the preferred network from wcdma preferred (or whatever its) to wcdma only and now you are on 3g, the signal bar will change from edge to hsdpa9.

Getting 20mb speed on Orange uk?

In London an hit 16 last week, now hitting 20 kegs down on a US Tmobile phone with an Orange sim?
I guess that this is dc HSPA etc, but Not LTE?

1. It's true
2. I don't get it but I think it's still just dc HSPA speed which is maxed at 21 mb, and not 4g. I got 19,956 and 19,383, and 17,067.
That is fast?

I've been a long time lurker but this last statement makes me want to come out of the darkness and say:
PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN

The most I've got in London is 5mb down, 2mb up on T-Mobile. In North London anyway, not sure about central or any where else.

I agree that speed has increased lately, but best I could get are these

I get 12Mbs at work on 3 in the UK (Nottingham) normally between 5 and 6Mbs from home
Sent via TCP/IP

I believe you. I've achieved similar speeds here in Scotland on occasion. It's definitely just good old H+ however.
I'm on 3 as well. It's not always fast, but I do seem to be maintaining a high speed signal for longer these days.

Yee of little faith who have doubted Gandalph the old!
I attach a screenshot. I also don't think this is 4g LTE but rather a good working HSPA+ running below 21mb. I am located in central London.
Nevertheless this is a very impressive speed and raises the question who wants for 4G LTE that few tests have shown reaches over 20 MB???

Edit!

These are my speeds at home im from kent in uk

4G at the moment in the UK is nothing more then a empty bottle. No UK phone is capable of having the 4G. All UK phones and tablets run on 3G. EE will be releasing lte phones in the new year.
The main reason EE have released 4G early is to claw in extra contracts. The biggest problem EE have is there coverage. The coverage is weak and inconsistent for 3G let alone the 4G.
Anyone who is serious about 4G should wait until at least a year.

I'm not joking no UK phone currently runs 4G. Anyone who tells you differently they just don't know how 4G works. If you've got a GS3 or iPhone 5 in the last 6 months on contract with EE they will let you upgrade to the lte verson for £90.00 when they release them next year.
4G coverage will be poor for at least a year if not more for most places. City's and very large towns will have coverage in the next year but the coverage will be dependant on operator.

$375 Mistake - PSA - MT7-L09 NOT COMPATIBLE on Cricket or Straight Talk in US

Well, I guess I learned my lesson $375 later lol. Hopefully I can at least get some of my money back for the phone on Ebay. I asked around on several different sites and got a lot of mixed reviews on whether the MT7-L09 worked in the USA and heard pretty good things for the most part but no definite answer. So I just compared the bandwidths best I could and went for it - bad idea.
Not compatible with Cricket (will show 4G but service bounces in and out and can't download anything unless connected to WiFi).
Not compatible with Straight Talk - haven't actually tried it but asked their customer service and they said the IMEI number is not compatible.
Soooo just wanted to put this out there for anyone else who might be trying to figure it out. Learn from my mistake!

What did they mean with: the imei number s not compatible?

I did. It says the bands so I knew them. The bands the phone uses are:
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
4G bands LTE 700/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 TD-LTE 2300 (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28)
the problem was there was some debate on the bands Cricket uses. Cricket is awesome but their Online Customer Service is very touch and go - talk to 3 different people and you'll get 3 different answers.
I've been trying to figure out the APN settings all day (with the help of a couple chat representatives) and it just doesn't seem like it's going to work. It shows 4G connection on the phone but it's just not working. Not to mention when you type in the IMEI number on the their site it says "incompatible." It doesn't say why it's incompatible, just that it is.
I'm going to an AT&T store tonight though and if I can get LTE through them I might switch to their prepaid plan and keep the phone. I don't know why it'd make a difference since they own Cricket but they claim it will. I'll lose a lot of data (10gb with Cricket vs 4gb with AT&T) but I never use even close to 10 anyways and it really would be nice to have service with someone who has physical stores around here.
Straight talk just said "sorry, phones not compatible."
Overall it was still my own fault lol, I just wanted to put it out there that way if anyone else googles it they might find it easier than I did.

I use WiFi at home, yes. But I also like to use my phone out on the road and at work (no WiFi) to listen to audio books, YouTube, Pandora, etc so being able to stream things is pretty important to me.
Also, I'm not getting 3G either. It's just not working. I would be fine with 3G or HSPA+ but the problem is it's not loading at all and it's all glitchy.

No we have 3G & 4G LTE in my area regularly, just for some reason this phone isn't getting either on Cricket's network - some kind of compatibility issue.
I figured the battery wouldn't be as good as the Mate 2 - the battery on that thing was phenomenal! I accidentally broke the screen and it was starting to act up all the time so I decided to get the new one.

Unfortunately in my area the only 3 prepaid GSM plans are Straight Talk, Cricket, and At&t's prepaid GoPhone plan. We don't have T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, Metro PCS or any of those things. Well, I should say I've heard of them and some areas have them but the area I live in they don't offer service.

What??? No way! I live an hour south of SF and it's totally not working on Cricket. I asked straight talk and they said the phone isn't even compatible with their service (granted their customer service sucks so maybe I should have just tried it lol). You get 4Glte all the time?
Anyways. I adjusted the settings now and I've been getting HSPA+ at home now fairly steadily so I think I'm going to keep it for now and give it a shot. The only issues I'm having is loading videos on youtube and my play store is having issues with the APN settings - it gets stuck on installing.

It goes between H+ and 4g. To fix the apn issue just download straight talks data app from the playstore. It will give you the exact apn settings for your phone.

See if it would consistently stay on HSPA or whatever it would be fine. But the problem is that I bounce all around between HSPA to 4G then to 3G and then no service sometimes and the last thing I want is to be stranded on my way home from work in the snow with a phone that decided to go into no service mode and won't let me call anyone.
When it stays in the H+ it's fine (full bars) but when I bounce into 3g or 4g I'll have 1 bar or sometimes not any.
